A prominent physician of Portland says, concerning spinal meningitis: " The disease runs in epidemics, and is due mainly to had sanitary conditions. It is an inll.inunation of the mem branes of the spinal cord and of the brain, and is accompanied by terrible headaches and pains in different parts of the body. Young, healthy persons are more liable to it than any other class, and it attacks male and female alike. The disease is accompanied by a breaking out of purple blotches all over the body, and for this reason is sometimes called purpuric fever. There is no known cure for the dis ease, and nine out of ten persons at tacked die in 21 hours, and sometimes in a third of that time. It one does happen to recover, he is loft deaf or blind, or alllieted in such way that it would have been better if he had died. "The sanitary conditions in Skag way are very bad. There is 110 drain age whatever, all slops, etc., being thrown on the ground. The water is very bad, as the creeks are full of dead horses by the hundreds. Then the cold weather compels the inhabitants to keep all the.windows tightly closed, shutting out all ventilation and add ing to the general bad health. It is a very terrible thing, and nothing on earth could induce me to attempt to do any kind of business in the town. While it is probably not contagious, the conditions that give it to one per son will give it to anothei just as well." There is 110 doubt that the cold of the Alaska climate renders men easier prey to the disease. Up to the latter part of January the the winter, from the Arctic ocean to the Mexican line, had been exceedingly mild. Since then the Alaska coast has been constantly swept by icy gales, which have been destructive alike to life and property. During this period the (Jlara Nevada has been driven to her destruction in the Lynn canal, the Oregon has been blown ashore, other vessels have had minor accidents, and many people have died at Skagway and Dyea and on the mountain passes leading out of those towns to the Klondike gold Ileitis. Strong indeed is the constitution that escapes ills in the northern re gions at this season of the year. Few of the many thousands who have left Portland, Seattle and San Francisco for the north since the lirst of the year can truthfully say that they arrived at Skagway in perfect health. All com plained of some ailment—cold in the head, stiffness of the limbs, sore throat, backache, etc. The long steamer trip is not conducive to bodily comfort. Seasickness is anything but pleasant, and lack of exercise causes languor and failure of the excretory organs to do (heir duty. Scrupulous attention to the functions of these organs is an essential in the treatment of cerebro spinal meningitis, but whether it avails as a precautionary measure is for doc tors to say. As the majority of the north-hound people come from south of the fiftieth parallel, they do not have any great difficulty in acquiring a cold after the steamer passes the northern point of Vancouver islands and pokes her nose into the waters of Queen Charlotte sound. In Alaska it is not considered good form to "kill a cold with whiskey. The main reason that whiskey in the northern regions does more harm than good. Another reason is that the whiskey of commerce, considered as a stimulant or as a medicine, is pure rot and is of no value. One drink of Alaska whiskey will make a man yearn for the return of his money; the second will cause him to tell all he knows to anyone having time and patience to listen to him, and the third will cause him to arm himself with a tomahawk and go on a murder ous hunt for his wife's relations, Exposure to cold in Alaska, es pecially when men know what the re sult will he, is due largely to careless ness. Men will hug a red-hot stove for hours and toast their shins to per fection and then venture into the icy wind with their hats on the hack of the head, the coat unbuttoned, or the neck insufficiently protected. In the course of a few hours they rack their minds to find out how they caught this cold in the head, Or why this weakness and other ailment which are the sure forerunner of pneumonia, grip or meningitis. Others will stand on street corners until the muscles of their feet twitch and a chill runs up the hack from cold. Others will keep bundled all Hew !o the .Line, Let tlie Chips LVill "WTiei*e they Mhy." 1 day in furs, woolen underclothes, i heavy stockings, high shoes and warm | overshoes, with a woolen cap pulled down over the head, leaving only part |of the face exposed. In a burst of 1 confidence in the atmospheric condi tions they will throw open the coat and put the cap in a normal position on the head. In a comparatively short time the wind is at the warm scalp and neck and quickly works its way inside the clothing to the chest and to the spine and the foundation | for a |ieri<>d of sickness is effectually laid. Men working on the mountain passes with their outfits arc as care less as the people in the town. The lack of hospital facilities at Skagway gives the meningitis sufferer hut little show for his life. A Chicago Dun's Wrinkle. " Speaking of collecting bills" said the man from the West, " We have a most effective way in Chicago. There instead of young men they employ young women. I once tried it my self and it worked like magic. A fel low hy the rune of Green owed me a small hill, sl7 or so. It seemed im possible to make him pay it, so I en" gaged the services of a pretty and stylish young lady. I sent her around to his office. He was out. She called again. He was still out, nothing daunted her, she called a third and fourth time. The fourth time he was in, but lie iirmly refused to pay the bill. " Look here, Mr. Greene," said the girl. I will make a proposition to you. If you pay five cents a day 011. this bill 1 will call and collect that amount until you have paid in full. " Hut Green was a hard party. He again refused and the girl left the office apparently crestfallen. The next day she did not call at his office but she did call at his house. The door was opened by the servant. " Is Mr. Green in?" asked the young woman. " No ma'am. "The girl left, but it seems that the servant duly reported tlio call of the pretty and stylish young woman who was so anxious to sec Mr. Green to his wife. The next day when the young woman came, the wife hung over the banister, taking a peep at the caller on her own account. The young woman asked if Mr. Green was in. " No ma'am" answered the servant, " but bis wife is." The wife told her to say this of course. "His wife!" stammered the girl, " Why has Mr. Green a wife?" The wife hanging over the banisters, beard this. She turned pale and gasped for air, while the girl, seem ingly very much distressed and con fused at her discovery, went down the steps and into the street. It is im possible to tell just what happened at that bouse that night, whether pokers or curling irons were buried, or the furniture torn from its foundations and tluug madly about, or the roof was raised skyward; but one thing I do know—the next day Green promptly paid the money. And the girl didn't call at his office for it either, lie came around and handed mo tlio money himself, and he seemed to think he was getting oil'easy at that." Weights and Measures. When we sinilo at the excessive con servation of the English in refusing to adopt a decimal system of money, and sticking to their inconvenient reckon ing in pounds, shillings and pence, are we sure that we arc not throwing stones through our own glass house? How many ounces are tticre in a pound? Twelve of one kind in one sort of a pound, sixteen of another kind in other sort. Three feet to a yard; live and a half yards to a rod. Thirty-two ipiarts in a bushel. An acre cannot be made into a perfect square, but is a piece of ground ten by sixteen rods, making forty-three thousand, live hundred and sixty square feet. A cubic yard contains nine cubic feet. These illustrations show what a waste of time and energy there is iu converting our own weights and measures from one unit to another. It is all needless waste, as wo know from the case with which we deal with our money unit. Our readers will perhaps lie tired of being told in all the civilized world, England, Russia and the United States arc the only countries which do not use the metric system for all pur poses. If we are asked why we do not use it we cannot reply that our method is better. Wc can give no belter excuse than that we are too lazy to conform to a system which is as far superior to that we employ as the dollars and cents of our money are more convenient than the British pounds, shillings and pence. Foit every widower who marries a widow there are eleven who espouse maidens. OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. 18, 1898. YOUR LOCAL PAPER. HAVE YOU ANY IDEA OF WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR YOU? And as to What You Might l)o In Return, llavc You Ever Given That ti Passing Thought?—An Editor's Interesting Review of the Subject. The paper lias done 50 things for you and is only anxious to do 50 more. It told your friends when your par ents were married. It announced to the world when you were born. It recorded the great events of your childhood, when you were lost as a wandering baby, when you bad the measles and scarlet fever, when you fell into the vvushtub and nearly drowned, when you fell from the cher ry tree and broke your collar bone, when you first started to school and when you earned your first prize. Later on it told how you had com pleted the studies of the district school and how eloquently you recited your graduating oration. It told of your entering high school or academy. It told of your contests in baseball and tennis. It told of your departure for college or your first ven ture in business. It told of your various visits back to the old home neighborhood, and it al ways wished you well in your greatest undertakings. It hinted modestly about the first time you went a courting and gave timely warning to " her folks" that the neighbors knew that matters were growing interesting over their way. It announced the time of your ex pected wedding, and it published the notice of the marriage license and gave you a nice puff concerning the wedding ceremony. It told of your extended honeymoon tour and of your settling down to housekeeping. When you were sick, tlie home pa per week bv week informed your more distaut neighbor, of your lapse, and improvements. It told about your lost cow and led to her recovery, it told how your horse had been stolen and led to the arrest of the thief. When you were getting dull and tired through the monotony of your labor, the p.-qier urged that the jicoplc get up a celebration, and you were named as one of a suitable committee on arrangements. And when it was all over, it gave you just praise for the success of tlie undertaking. In numerous ways the paper lias helped to put your name before the people. And you would never have had your lucrative olliee or your honorable recognition from the com munity but for the kind aid of the lo cal printer. If you are a member of a Sunday school or society of any sort, that same paper publishes your announce ments and the various proceedings of your meetings. It tells the people much which you would like to have known, hut which modesty or necessity prevents you from telling. If you and all your folks have been prosperous and fortunate in your af fairs, the paper has boosted you all the way. If you have had misfortune, the paper asked for sympathy in your be half. Thus the paper has rejoiced when you rejoiced and wept when you wept. If you are a good and enterprising cit izen, the paper will always be your friend and will back you in your en terprises and will help to lind your business friends. It tells you where to buy and where to sell. It tells of rogues to be avoid ed. It tell you of current prices and pre vents you froni being cheated and swindled in 100 wavs. Finally, when you die, the paper will publish your obituary ami will cover over your faults and will recite the story of your good deeds. All these things the local editor will tausc his paper to do, but no one else in the world will do them or can do them for you even for love or money. The outside paper is a strang er to your little world and is not at all interested in its improvement. Yet your local paper does all this free of cost to you, if you are willing to re ceive it that way. However, for your sake, we hope you are too generous to accept so many unrequited favors and that you are willing to reciprocate the same. Help the editor. Be his friend, and he will prove his friendship to you. Subscribe for his paper and pay for it regularly in advance and get your neighbors to do the same. Send him the news or occasionally a watermelon or a peck of peaches. Invite him to your picnics and fam ily dinners, so that he can eat a square nieal occasionally. j Don't call the ticket you give him j to the church concert a deadhead, He I can't buy tickets from everybody to j everything, hot he will say kind words Jof your performances and thus lead others to buy your tickets. 11 you have anything to buy or sell, let tlie paper aid von to find custo mers. Advertising that really pays the printer benefits both advertisers and readers. If you have any job printing to do, ! don't take it to an outside office, but j give your newspaper the first chance. Give the editor a pointer occasion i ally or write him scn-ible short articles and don't get mad if lie fails to see everything your way. When lie does say a good thing, tell him so. In short, remember the golden rule and don't forget the editor of your lo cal paper. WASHINGTON LEADS. Hurley and Hops Have Done Well in This State. The official crop circular of the Agri" cultural Department for October is an excellent advertisement of the re sources of this State. Thirty States have scut in reports on the barley crop of 1898. Washing ton stands first with an average of 39.8 bushels per acre. Utah comes next with 37 bushels and Idaho third with 35. From this the list dwindles down to 16 bushels for Kentucky and only 10.5 for poor old California. The aver age for the entire country is placed at 21.G—a little over onc-lialf of Wash ington's average yield. In the average for quality of barley Washington again stands first with a report of 9S per cent.; California next with 95; nnd Michigan and Wisconsin are tied with 93. Only five States are included in the report on the hop crop. Washington leads with 1 pouudspcr acre. Next comes Oregon with 1,150 pounds; California, 1,000 pounds; New York, GSO pounds; Wisconsin, 400 pounds. In the oat crop report, Idaho leads with an average of 43.G bushels per acre. Washington is a good second with 41.9 bushels. Next comes Mon tana with 40.G bushels. Forty-five States and Territories report on this grain, North Carolina claiming only 14.3 bushels to the acre—about one third as much as Washington or Idaho. The average for all is 27.8 bushels. Five States beat Washington for rye, and three others are just equal. The best reports are: Minnesota, 20.5 bushels per acre: Utah, 19.5 bushels; Vermont, 19.1; lowa, 19; Nebraska, 18.8. Washington, Maine, Connecti cut and Colorado are tied at 18. The average for all, 36 States and Territor ies reporting, is 15.G bushels. Thirteen States raised more Irish potatoes to the acre than Washington, two raised just the same amount, and 30 reports are not so good as this State. The leaders are Idaho, 115 bushels; Montana, 100 bushels; Utah, 94 bushels; Washington reports 80 bushels, while the average for the en tire country is 72.5. Washington is not a corn State, and averaged but 75 bushels to the acre, while the average for all States re porting was 82. New Hampshire made the best record with 102 bushels; Kentucky came next with 101; Ver mont third with 100. Nebraska raised, but 57 bushels to the acre and Kansas Figures for wheat by States are not given in this report, but this para graph from the report is of interest: " The estimates of production given in the above table make the crop of 1898 the largest on record, but the world's reserve stocks had run ex tremely low before the harvest, lleer bohm's statement of the world's visible supply 011 September 1, when reduced to bushels of 60 pounds, gives the fol lowing figures for the eight years, 1891-98: 1891, 90,400,000; 1892,120,- 464,000; 1893,156,080,000; 1894, 150,- .460,000; 1895,128,168,000; 1896, 101,- 256,000; 1897, 63,688,000; 1898, 45,- 520,000. The decrease in the invisible supply must also have been large, and comparing the present year with 1894, lleerbohm's estimates the present re serve stock, visible and invisible, to be 40,000,000 quarters (320,000,000 bush els') less than in that year, whereas the crop, according to the same authority, is only 10,000,000 quarters (80,000,000 bushels) greater. The world's supply for 1898-99 would thus be 240,000,000 bushels less than was that for 1894-95, while the propulation to be supplied must be over 20,000,000 greater." The t'rlsale Bird. Many sailors believe that the frigate bird can start at daybreak with the trade winds from the coast of Africa and roost the same night upon the American shore. Whether this is a fact or not has yet to lie determined, but it is certain that the bird is the swiftest of winged creatures and is able to lly, under favorable conditions, 200 miles an hour. THAT SWEET SCENT. ANNUAL OUTLAY OF NEW YORK FOR FINE ODORS. The Principal Consumers Are Women—Divers Ways in Which the Sweet Scents are Used — American Make Rivals the For eign Product. X. Y. Hernia. One million dollars is spent in New York every year for perfume. Of course its a lot of money to flutter away from lace meucheirs up into tlie smoke laden atmosphere of this big city, and thus perish untimely. It's a good many round, bard pieces of silver to breathe from my lady's charming presence as she Hits past tlie amiable caryatids of tlie cigar stands in her walks through the fashionable streets. Nevertheless, those hard dollars arc cheerfully taken out of dainty purses and straightway converted into some thing that—p'ff!—is gone. IJuite a little fortune, isn't it, to put into something whose tangible form is nil —a thing you cannot even see? But it is invested gladly, and no one mur murs or repines over it. New York never could do anything by halves, and so this practical city goes proudly on its way, sniffing up its respectable nose that annual million, never guessing the amount of cost of the medium that is titillating its ol factor nerve and then floating off' into circumambient space where perfumers cease to manufacture and the con sumer is at rest. Who does all this buying? Who is it rushes forth and " blows" a million dollars on air? Of course, the wo men. Ob, of course! But tlie men, too, if you must know one of their weaknesses. Though, in justice be it said, they generally buy it for the Christmas girl and send it up to her house in forms that would wheedle a miser out of coin. Undoubtedly women put into cir culation this reckless million, but two thirds of it only is her direct responsi bility. The other third may be di vided equally between the unhappy men and their annual holiday pre dicament—what to buy for presents. In order not to strain the mind too far, the perfume bottle, with its load of ephemeral sweets, has rushed to the front. So it is small wonder that the million is dropped. The poor little odor-laden (lowers from which all this perfumery is made run somewhere up into the billion billions, and no record is kept of their poor little lives. For the beautiful things are raised, culled and marketed into odors as elusive as fame, without a thought for their pathetic sacri fices. Like the drops of water and grains of sand they go to the making of vast vats of fashionable hrauds of perfume, and their history is lost in the evolution. The bath is responsible for a great deal of tlie liquid luxury, for into that delightful part of the daily toilet goes many a quart of the finest and most subtle odors known to the art. In fact, so large lias become tlie demand for these particular forms of perfume that the material is put up for sale in four-quart bottles in some cases. The handkerchief is kept supplied by more costly perfumes, of course, but no more perfect in make up. Their boxes, down lined and satin covered, are more fair to look upon, but no extra claim can be made in their behalf for intrinsic charm. In some eases the handkerchiefs are not supplied from liquid perfumes in bottles, but the powdered sachet is used to scent the bureau drawer night and day. Silken pads filled with the odor de sired are sometimes sewed into party and opera gowns, in the interlining, to forever form a part of the dainty pres ence of the owner. From foreign and domestic fabrics comes this delightful commodity, and American dealers are beginning to rival, if not overrun, their foreign competitors in the line. The duties 011 foreign imports make the incom ing supply not only more expensive, but the home products are constantly gaining in exquisitiveness and make up. Musk forms the basis of many of the stronger and cheaper perfumes, and it is the part that outlives the finer and purer qualities of the combination, long after the clover scent or the lily scents have gone, the coarse animal fat remains. The finer grades of per fume are not adulterated with this long lived product, but flower ex tracts are used, and many, many times their original strength is employed in a single instance to produce the de sired effect in lasting quality. THE only female law instructor in the world is Miss Lutie A. Lytle, To peka's colored lawyer. She teaches in the law department of the Central Tennessee college. BUY INDIAN GIRLS. Polygamy is Flagrantly Prac ticed in 11. t.'. Robert Stead Dunn, a graduate of Harvard, lias spent five months on the Edmonton trail in the wilds ol Hritish Columbia to study life in the primi tive stage and get a knowledge of the country. He makes some rather startling statements, one being that the white people in this section of the country buy Indian girls like so many chattels and that polygamy is flag rantly practiced. From 25 to fifty blankets is the price usually paid for an Indian girl; a rancberec belle may be secured for tlie latter price. Air. Dunn says the Catholic missionaries have converted most of the Indians in the Fort Graham district to Chris tianity. Recently Father Morriee— lie tells the story on himself—issued instructions to converted Indians that all who had more than one wife must choose one and put away the rest; that polygamy would not be allowed. Chief Wanctla treasured the traditions of his tribe that the bigger the chief the more wives he should have, and after some hesitation he declared that he would continue to live with his four spouses but still be a good Catho lic. This was impossible and Father Morriee excommunicated hint. For a time the ostracised Indian brooded alone with his wives and his spirit was sore distressed. Then a happy idea struck him. Surreptitiously securing a cross from the Mission he tied it on the top of his tent and with some pur loined holy water sprinkled the tent and christened it Wanetla's Church. He then issued a proclamation de manding that all his friends and rela tions should come and worship ac cording to the Christian faith at his church. His proclamation met with considerable success and the simple minded Indian keeps his quartette of mistresses and worships in his own peculiar way with liis wives' relations, his own relations and his friends. Preserved Quince*. New York Tribune. Wash the fruit thoroughly, pare anil place the parings in a separate kettle for jelly. Cut out the core anil quar ter the fruit, dropping the pieces iu cold water to prevent them from turn ing a dark color. Place two layers of the pared fruit into a preserving kettle and cover with cold water; boil over a slow lire until the fruit is tender: when done put the pieces on a platter. Strain the water in which they have been boiled and add to it three-quar ters of a pound of sugar for each pint of juice; stir this gently for ten min utes; skim, add the fruit and simmer for 20 minutes longer; then takeout the fruit carefully to provent it from being broken. Put the preserve jars into a pan of boiling water and then begin to till them with fruit, one piece at a time. When filled pour over the juice. When the water in the pan is cool the jars arc ready to seal. Apples can be used with the quinces, and will give a pleasant flavor, but the apples must be removed from the kettle at least ten minutes before the quinces, as they do not require as long a time to cook. Sny« Kogtri Did It. Spokane Chronicle. "If Governor John K. Kogers had announced a month ago that he would not be a candidate for the United States Senate, the fusion party would have elected the State Legislature." Thus spoke Will 1). Jenkins, Secretary of State, at the Hotel Spokane, this afternoon. " There were too many of the jieople who were afraid that he would go to the Senate if the People's Party controlled the Legislature." Juvt Hie other Way. " 1 am delighted," said the old friend who had called, to find that you agree with your husband in everything, Mrs. Henpeck." " Indeed!" answered that estimable lady. "If you will take the pains to investigate our domestic relations, sir, you will tint! that it is Mr. Henpeck who agrees with me in everything." The I'rol'rkMor's Conundrum. " Professor," they said, " give us a deep metaphysical conundrum." " Well," lie said, after a moment's thought, " w hen is ' which' ' what'?" They gave it up. " When it is neither," explained the professor. And when they had studied it out they understood. " A CONFLICT in arms," he said " is a terrible tiling." "Of course," she replied, blushing prettily; "and so inexcusable, too. I hold that the disposition a man makes of his arms is none of a girl's business." —Chicago Pout.
