THE AMERICAN. 7 WILD CRANBERRY BOGS. Ths Stretch of Marshes In the I'ngrl fcound fnfttttrv. The entire lupt sound country and the coast of Washington is dot ted with wild rranUrry lands. Theso lands aro found throughout all tho woodland section, ami when onco under cultivation juoduoo tho n.os-t abundant crops of hay. trrain and vegetables. In fact, there are no lands more )rolific and fruitful. All up and down the rivers of the sound country ami in the heavy wooded districts in the interior away from any stream a'e found acres of theso peculiar tracts. The wild cranberry in tins country is not a success, as ure most a!l other kinds of wild fruit. Patches are found, however, that are very pro lific, and each fall wil I cranberries are picked by tho Indian and white settlers in the remote district. In Pierce county on tho military re serve, opposite 1'oint l'elianee, is a considerable cranberry marsh where once used to le i;atherod many bushels of the w ild berry. I p in Snohomish county on the MUlij;uanmh river, wild cranberry marshes aro found in great numbers, One fine marsh, near the postottice of Oso, has recently been drained and cleared of the old vinos, and now one of the finest ranches in the state for its size. Farther up tho river, near the head, aro some very large marshes, which produce bush els of berries. In the Hood's canal country and through part of Clal lam county, are acres and acres of these fertile places I he greatest trouble tho settler has to contend with in reclaiming them is to jet them proporly drained and cleared for tho plow of tho larsror roots and spongy . growths. which always' overlay tho ground to the depth of a foot or more. No successful effort has ever boon made to cultivate cranborries hero. but they are successfully grown in the southern part of tho state. Tho following description of tho farm was written for tho Oregonian a few days ago: The cranberry tract embraces H'tO acres, much of which is natural cranberry marsh, or "bog," prod tic ing quite an abundance of wild cran berries. These marshes, in their natural state, aro covered with water more than half the year, and very much resemble what wo call oeaver uam laim, the "muck ' or decayed vegetation being from one to several feet deep, making a soil unsurpassed in purity. Tho prepar ation of this land for cranberries is very expensive. In the first placo it must bo thoroughly ditched, and theso ditchos must bo so arranged by means of flood gates that tho laud can bo Hooded or ii rigated hen necessary. Then tho heavy sod of wild cranberries and coarse grass must bo removed, and tho ground covcrcu wiin satin to a ucptn or irom six to ten inches, after which the cranberry cuttings aro planted. The sand prevents the land becoming foul with weeds or grass. The cranberry roots soon strike down into the rich muck, and within three or four years the ground is a mass of these dolicato and beautiful vines, which are at that age capable of bearing full crops of fruit In a Bad Temper. r i- . ... una .unuay, itaucieiairo. the ec centric French poet, painted his hair green and in that state went to see Maxime rtu Camp. The latter, know ing the poet's insane vanity, pro tended not to notice his strange con dition. Huudolaire thereupon stood and looked at himself in front of a mirror, stroked his hair with his hand, and did his best to attract lu Camp's attention. At lust, unable any longer to control himseif, he said: "Do you see nothing extraor dinary in my appearance?" "No." "But my hair is dyed green, and that Is unusual." "Everybody's hair is more or less green," I)u Camp re plied coolly; "now if your hair were sky-blue, I might, perhaps, be aston ished. Hut one may see green hair under many a hat in Paris." Ituaudo laire took his departure soon after ward, and meeting a friend in the court yard, said to him: "I recom mend you not to go and seo I)u Camp to-day; he is in a vile temper. Ar gonaut. Why They Wore I 'nor. A couple of tramps were lined up alongside tho curbstone to watch the dudelious and doless son of a rich father pass by. "Golly. Hill,'' exclaimod one, "what was that?" "He's a nice young man." What's he do fer a iivin'?" "Nothin'. ' 'Same's us?" "Yes." "Hut look how much better togs he's got than ourn. Hill." William sighed profoundly. That's because wo's orphans, sweetheart," he said, and brushed a tear from his eye with his coatsleeve. A Safe Hid. Contractor Whoop! I've got the contract for cleaning the streets! I bid lower than anybody else. Wife Isn't there any risk of los ing money by your low bid? Contractor Not a bit. Flounces are coming into fashion again. Where the Ituily liested. The various places in London called "crosses" were erected by Edward I. to mark tho resting places of the body of his queen, Eleanor, on its way to Westminster for inter ment.

A long-legged young countryman, with his trousers three inches from his boots, and his boots three miles from a shine, passed into the o:ico where marriage licenses are kept on tap, w ith a basket on his arm, sa) s the Detroit Free P. ess. "liood morniti'," ho said to the clerk, "can 1 git it marriage license here:'" "This is the place," replied the clerk. Well, I've got six dozen eggs in this here basket; can I get one for them?" Hardly, I guess." Well. I don't know not h in' about tho price of eggs nor marriage li censes, but Fin willi ii' to put up the eggs fer the licence, sight unseen." Cai.'t do it," said the cleric. "Wo are not in the business of trading marriage licenses for eggs." They're fresh." said the applicant in a half pleading tone. 'so is the license," argued tho cleric. What's one wuth?" asked tho youth, going off on anothor tack. 'A dollar." "What's eggs wuth?" "Seventeen cents a dozen. Why don't you go and sell your eggs and come back hero with the money?" The egg-vender picked up a pen and a piece of pa pur and began fig uring. Hy crackey," he said after a min ute or two, "that's what I'll da Them eggs is wuth a dollar and two cents and I'll have enough after payin' fer tho license to git a postage stamp and write to Susan to lot her know the weddin' needn't bo postponed owin' to circumstances over which I hadn't no control.'' and bo hurried buoyantly out of theollice with tho eggs fairly jingling in the basket The Osslllcil Mun. In tho museum of natural history at Dublin is the skeleton of a man, a nativo of the South of Ireland, who was called the ossiliod man. His body became ossified during his life time, lie lived In that condition for years. Previous to tho change ho ha:l been a healthy young fellow of superior strength ami agility. One night ho slept out in a field after a debauch and somo time later he felt tho first symptoms of tho strange transformation. Tho doctors could do nothing to avert the progress of his malady. His joints stiffened. When he wanted to lie down or rise he required assistance. He could not bend his body, and when placed upright he resembled a statue of stone. Ho could stand, but not move in tho least. His teeth were joined and became an entire bone. The doctors in order to administer nourishment, had to make a hole through thoin. He lost tho use of his tongue and his sight left him before ho died. Not !tnnet. The old man pondered long and deeply. "My son," he said, at length, in a deep solemn, hollow voice, "you have always thought yourself tho off spring of poor but honest parents. The youth turned pale. "Father," he gasped, "can it be that you are rich, after all?" The patriarch's head sank upon his bosom. "Hoy." ho exclaimed, "you have arrived at an age when you should ho deceived no longer." Leading tho way to tho attic, with trembling, eager hands ho removed a few loose boards and showed his child how he made tho gas meter lose a couple of hundred feet every month. Truth. The Perverse I'arent. "How did you get along when you told your father of our engagement?" asked the timid young man. "Oh, dear!'" she answered, "it was dreadful. I'm so ashamed of papa."

On behalf of the Loyal Orange Uxlge of the United State of America, and with a view of correcting the false Impression that enemies are endeavoring to convey to the minds of men who are unacquainted with Orange principles, are these few statements made: The Loyal Orange Institution is a brother hood and sisterhood, bound by three ties- Justice, Truth and Righteousness. It hait no hidden alms It Is Fraternal and Benevolent assisting and protecting uieruliers while living and their widows and orphans when they are re moved by death. It upholds the right of private judgment the untrammelled freedom of opinion: be lieves the public schools are an essential safeguard of the stale, and should be kept free from ecclesiastical or sectarian control and that persons disloyal to the government who hold a mental allegiance to the pope of Koine should be rigorously excluded from teaching therein. It believes primary allegiance is due to the government which protect tho lives, liberties and properties of Its cltliena. and thai ecclesiastical authority should jot' under any circumstances, bo permitted to meddle In the affairs of state, and that coer clon of aeltiien In the exercise of his or her right of franchise, under the guise of relig ious orsplrltual authority should be pi. n Uhed as a crime against the statu. That It Is the duly of every citizen to de fend the lawfully consiltiited authority and Institutions of our country against corrupt and Inimical lull ucuci s, as well as against armed assailants, to the end that our glori ous freedom be protected and transmitted unimpaired to posterity. It encourages habits of frugality and In dustry among lis members, and Is proud to boast that Orangemen seldom become a public charge or accept pauper bread. It believes In the restriction of Immigra tion and the extension of time for the natur alization of citizens, ami that tho public amis shall be held for actual American citi zens who become settlers. The Loyal Orange Institution of the Culled States of America has certain requirements for membershiu: That, a man shall bean actual American cltlr.en. having compiled with the lawsof the United States with regard to naturalization, and without a mental reservation. That the applicant shall be a Protestant, and also that his parents and wife shall be Protestants. That he shall be thrifty and successful In his business; honorable and truthful In his dealings with bis fellowman, and shall be known as a Inw-amaing citir.en. That he will endeavor to give his children or any children under his charge at least a good common school education, being care ful to avoid all popish doctrines, and That he shall be In sound health at the time of making application. It makes no difference where a man was born, so long as be meets the foregoln requirements. These are the qualifications required o every applicant to the order, and we do not think that anv uatrlotlc American order can offer a bet ter array of nrtnclples and teach ings. J. 0. t. A. M.

The National Council of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics In annual session assembled declares: That the constant landing upon the shores of the hordes of Ignorant, vicious and lawless criminals of the Old World should be viewed 1th alarm by the loyal and uatrlotlc citi zens of this country. We afllrm a warm ana hearty welcome to all Immigrants who desire to better their condition and become a part and parcel of our nationality, but we have not one square Inch of room for the anarchist, the socialist or nihilist, or for any one who Is not willing to now allegiance to that nag wnicn is powerful enough to shield and protect them as well as us. in the exercise or all civil and religious liberty. we anlrm our devotion to the public school system of this country. We believe In com pulsory education, and that all teaching In our schools should be In the r.ngllsh lan guage, to the end that future generations may be able to take tneir place in the ranks of our country s workers, educated In the history, the customs and manners of Ameri cans. We guarantee to everv man the liberty of orshluing Uod according to the dictates of his own conscience, and would give everv as sistance to protect all In the exercise oi his liberty, but we object most strenuous to the Interference of any church, no matter under what name It may exist. In the tem poral affairs of this country. We believe that the Bible should be read In our public schools; not to teach sect arianism, but to Inculcate Its teachings. It Is the recognized standard of all moral and civil law; we therefore believe, that our children should be educated In Its teachings, but that no dogma or creed should be taught at the same time We believe that patriotism and love of country should be instilled Into the hearts of children, and that, with the words of "Mother," "Home" and "Heaven." our chil dren should be taught that our flag Is the symbol of all that makes a "borne" for us. We would place a flag upon every public school In our land, and a Bible within, and the object lesson therein set forth should be a beacon light In every storm which threat ens t engulf us. In this noble and patriotic work we ask the Cordial and hearty co-operation of ail good citizens. In this grand work we need the helping hand of all organizations holding the same views and principles. We have no time for Jealousies and bickerings, but with a united front we should march forward, shoulder to shoulder, remembering that "United we stand, divided we fall." In the strictest sense we are a national politl -al organization, but we oppose with unanimity the slightest taint of partisaiilsiu. "Our country" is our motto, and we keep this motto steadily before us. We are cogni zant that there are great and powerful enemies within our midst, requiring the st rictest surveillance of all who are at heart, word and In deed American!. We. as members of this order, affirm our allegiance to the objects of the Order as paramount to any partisan affiliation, and urge upon the mem bership harmonious, united and intelligent action In carrying out the principles. OBJECTS or THE ORDER. Klrst To maintain and uromote the Inter ests of Americans, and shield them from the depressing effects of foreign competition. Second To asolst Americans In obtaining employment. Jhlrd lo encourage Americans In busi ness. Fourth To establish a sick and funeral fund.

We would respectfully call your attention to the fact that there Is In this cliy a council of the Order of United American Mechaules, to which wo would be happy to have you give a moment's thought, and If favorably Impressed, would like your name proposed for membership. The Order of United American Mechanic. was organized In Fhlladi Ipbla on the lfith day of July, 1845. 1 Is (Irst Inception was fur the protection of Mechanics and Working men alone, and for a number of years none but operative mechanics and worklnginen were acmltted to Us membership; but the great Interests of principles Involved in lis existence caused a departure from that plan, and the Order has for years existed and exists today as an order of speculative me chanics, recognlr.lng every one possessed of the birth rruulrcuienu, who Works for a nialntalnance either by hand or brain or both as eligible to membership, and numbers among its members men of every profession, and calling In life. The objects of this order are to assist each ether In obtaining employment; to encourage each other In business; to establish a sick and funeral fund; to establish a fund for the relief of widows and orphans and to aid members; and to aid members who. through Providence, may be Incapacitated f rom fol lowing their usual vocations. In obtaining situations suitable to their allllctlous. The membership of this order Is composed of white male citizens born In the United States, or under the protection of its flag This order has existed for nearly fifty years. and is at present, rapidly spreading through out the United States. As an American born and having the welfare of yourself and family at heart, as well as that of the nation at large, we would most heartily Invite you to become a member of the U. A. M., as it is the only Order In existence founded es peclally to promote the Interests, elevate the character and secure the happiness of the American mechanic and business man It therefore appeals to the head and heart of him who wields the pen as well as to him who swings the scythe or wields the sledge hammer of the mechanic. In lis councils, a free discussion of principles relating to the fostering and care of the Interests of Indl vldual members Is permitted; but nothing of a political or sectarian character Is ever al lowed to be discussed.' It has no affiliation with such Institutions as Trades Unions Knights or Labor, Sovereigns of Industry, or the like, and desires not to control either capital or labor, as It would be doing a gross Injustice to many of Its members, who are taken from both classes. The membership of the Order Is scattered from Maine to Call fornla, and from all points Co nes lhe glorious news that the Order Is gaining great strength In all Jurisdictions. An endowment branch is also connected with the Order, both national and state. which Insures those who seek Its benefits, enabling them to leave a sum. which Is In all cases substantially and promptly paid, to the dear ones, when death marks Its mem bers for its own. It seems very strange indeed that the American does not feel inclined to become o peculiarly national in his Ideas and as sociations as do the English, French, Ger man, Irish, and other nationalities. Each and all of the foregoing have their peculiar national organiiattons. and take pride in same. But the American Joins order after order, composed of a mixture of nationali ties, and lets his own countrymen severely alone In the matter of secret and fraternal societies. We would not belittle any of the existing secret beneficial associations. Far from it. They are a power for good In the community. But we do ask him who is to the manor born to turn bis thoughts to home and native land, so that he can loin in the glad refrain: "Thou art n,y native land, I own thy fos'erlng hand; Though far from thee I roam, SHU thou art my home." Americans, we of this Brotherhood appeal to you to aid us in this work we are now carrying on. You must either be for us or against us. Choose quickly and let us show to the country that we firmly believe In American principles. American Industry. American protection and American govern ment. Strikes riots and boycotting are terms too harsh lo be applied to American Mechanics. Bonded together by promptings of patriotic affection, may this Order grow and progress, until every man who Calls himself American can stand up and say In all sincerity, I own no man as master of my actions.
