The cause of prohibition may be spreading and prospering-, as its advo cates assert, but the business of hop growing is doing both to a certainty, as the statistics show. One county alone in Oregon. Lane county, will in crease its hop area" by 1,0'JO acres by next season, the growers being encour aged thereto by the plentiful and pro fitable harvest this year. The Metho dist ministers of Washington held a conference in Tacoma recently and de cided to "wage a relentless war" on hops, though it was developed that quite a number of church members in that denomination own hop ranches, while many more find employment in the hop business. The testimonials which the mail brings in every day run thus: "Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup cured the baby of croup. "' "It cured me of a most distressing cough ;" or "it cured my little bov of sore throat." "We could not do without it." A Good Fertilizer. A very cheap and easy way to pre pare bones to supply as fertilizer is by the use of ashes. Break the bones as small as possible. Then cover the bot tom of a barrel or box with a few inches of ashes, then put in a layer of bones, and so on until the receptacle is filled. The time required for the decomposi tion of the bones depends upon the strength of the ashes, the size of the bones, and the amount of moisture in the mixture. The mixture should be made quite damp by pouring water on it, but not enough water should be used as to cause it to drain. Hardwood ashes which have not been exposed to the weather are best for reducing bones.

Eight cars loaded with human hair arrived in Paris recently, consigned to dealers in that merchandise. The hair came from India and China, whence thousands of pounds are annually sent to England and France. This traflie, a foreign medical journal sa3s, is the cause of the introduction of many dis eases to Europe. The hair is cut from 2ersons after death in China, and al though it is disinfected upon arrival in France, it often carries the germs of I disease. Asiatic hair, owing in part to its coarseness, can be purchased cheap ly, it selling often as low as a franc a kilogram. The hair of Europeans, however, averaging about 100 francs for the same amount.

ALDEIl had begged me to give him a bed for the night. He was going to a ball that evening and had business earlv the following morning in Berlin. He lived in such an out-of-the-wav ! suburb that it would be quite im- possible for him to go home to sleep, ighted to bj of ser- I was only too del vice to him. Although I could not of fer him a bed, it would be easy to im provise a shakedown on which he could iiavc a few hours' rest I set to work at once and did the best I could t for him, using :i bundle of rugs for the pillows and mv old dressing crown for the ma tress. When Balder saw it he declared that nothing conid be more to his taste. It was long past midnight when I was awakened from a refreshing sleep by somebody fumbling with a key at the lock of -my door. Several bungling attempts were made before the key was fitted iuto the lock suc ressfullj". At last Balder walked into my room. He presented rather a com ical appearance, with his crush hat on one side of his head like the leaning tower of Pisa, and a short overcoat, with his long tail coat peeping be neath. His face was flushed, parti v with excitement, and he appeared possessed of a burning desire to relate his adventures to somebody. I had been looking at him with one eye; the other, nearest him, I kept tight shut. and did not move, for I had no desire , to enter into conversation with him. i But 1113- friend was notso easily .shaken ( in his purpose; he came cIost to 1113' 1 bedside, stepping on my bootjack, so ( that it fell over with a terrible noise, and held the lighted candle within a few inches of mj- nose. It was im 1 possible for even the most shameless j shammer of sleep to hold out any I longer I opened 1113- eyes and said in t the sleepiest tone I could assume: I "Enjo3"ed jMiirself?"' "ramouslv. 1113 dear fellow, an swered Balder, .seating himself on the side of ni3' bed, although I forestalled his intention and left hardly an inch for him to sit on. Then he entered into a long and not ver3' lucid rigma role on souls which are destined to come together. The stoiy was ren dered all the more difficult to under stand from the fact that I kept falling asleep and dreaming between his rhapsodies, but I gathered that Balder had met with a 3'oung Spanish lud3'at the mask ball, who apparently possessed the soul which he was fated to mcct- aml , she the only pe" " .-ri" " "" coum na,te "" i..i ..

It was a simple story, but when a man's brain is fired with love he lingers over it The words grace, southern coloring. e-es like a gazelle, etc, mut hive been repeated ver3 often, for I dreamed later on that I was repeating them to niyself. I bore it sill patiently, for ho-pi tali t3 is a sacred duty, and, besides, the state which Haider's mind was in demanded anil deserved consideration. As he went on with his story he raised his voice, perhaps to rouse un flagging attention. Suddenly some body coughed in the next room. It was not a natural cough, but an artificial one, evidently intended 03 im lad3 to serve as a gentle reminder that at '2 o'clock in the morning all respectable people should be in bed and quiet. AK' room was only separated from the apartments 111 which my landknly and her daughter slept 03- a door, which was hidden on either side b3 a high wardrobe through which, in spite of this pre caution, voices could be heard ver' distincth'. I informed Balder of this fact, but, unfortunately, he utterly refused to take 1113' advice and go quieth to bed. He said he could not sleep, and. unhappily, catching sight of iii" coffee machine, he added that he would like some coffee. Sleep if 3ou can," he said; "I can manage it all for nn'.self." He then removed his coat, dressed himsjlf in the dressing gown which acted as his m:ittris; and st.:iiti(l to "ot. mihh ings. Somebody else coughed. It was the Fraulein Iieschen this time, my landlad's daughter. At a 113- other lime. Balder himself would Inve shown more consideration. Most extraordinary" noises proceeded from the water tap in the kitchen At. last the kitchen door banged, and Balder reappeared again. I expressed my regret that I hat! no methylated spirit, but lie said it did not matter, and eatcliuiir hold of a bottle or mv 1 expensive brandy, poured a lot into the lamp. Then "he sat iraKinc into ', the blue flame without blinking. Oas'i! went the glass of the globe, and the boiling water poured all over the table and put out the fire. 1 sprang out of 1113 bed. "lood gracious!" I exclaimed. " the wnole tiling will ex plode." He said nothing, but. began to pick up tne hot pieces of glass pa tiently. The coughing in the next room became louder than ever.

And then Hauler disaooeared in clou Is of smoke, and 1 heard and saw no I more. 1 was awakened again by a light being held near my face. Balder was standing at my bedside with the candle in his hand. "Ah: I'm glad you've been asleep again! ' lie said, as I half opened my. eyes and looked at him. "1 want to make a poem to my Spaniard. Have you got a rhyming dictionary anywhere about?"

Or any other far on" Spanish river ' Sleep again overpowered me, and I j knew nothing till I was awakened by I a noisy discussion taking place close J to me. Balder stood with his face to the door, engaged in a hot dispute with my neighbors. "The devil himself couldn t collect . his thoughts with that coughing go I ing on," he was sa3ing as I woke up. "I was coughing to make 3011 quiet, that endless murmuring made me S3 nervous!" cried Fraulein Lieschen, her voice trembling with anno3nnce. "I'm writing a poem, I tell you, and when one is composing a poem one must murmur. If 'ou can't sleep through it you can't be healtli3'. You must have eaten too much supper or something. You can congratulate yourself that 3'ou've got such a lodger as lteif. Do 3011 understand me? If 3ou had me I'd teach you " Again and again, in as persuasive a voice as I could assume, I begged the orator at the wardrobe to put an end to the speech he was delivering on his views of a landlady's duties toward her tenants. At length my patience gave wa3 and, sitting up in bed, I commanded him in a voice of authority to give over his poetry and recitation and to blow out the light and get into bed. Balder at length .seemed to realize that he was tres passing on 1113- hospitality, and that a certain amount of respect was due to 1113' wishes as his host. He became .silent, put his manuscript carefully into 1113- dressing gown pocket, cast one last fiery glancj at the door and retired to bed. I do not know if he saw the daugh ter of sunn3 Spain, with her gazelle like eyes, in his nreams, but I do know that he snored as if he were dreaming of a sawmill. About three hours later the winter davlight struggled into the room. Balder got up and dressed himself as quietly as a mouse. He seemed as though he was tr3'ing to make up for the disturbance he had made in the night, or rather in the morning. He 'OX THK SIDK OF Till-; ItlM). excused himself mo.t politcry for waking me tin, but saitl he felt that he could not leave without sa3ing goodby and thanking me for my kind hospitalit3. Then he left the room, closing the door softlv .behind him. At the same moment I heard the door of my landlad3's room open. Half a minute's dead silence followed, and then Balder fell back into 1113 room like one stunned "Who is that girl that came out of the next room?" he asked breathlessly. 'Fraulein Lieschen. of course, the daughter of 1113 landlady, to whom 3ou were kind enough to deliver a lecture in the middle of the nigiit 'She is mv Spanish gir. he gasped, grinding his teeth and shak ing his heat! disconsolately. He took a long time to recover himself. Ik: sat down again on the side of 1113' bed, as he'had done on his return from the ball. But in what a different mood! He made me swear to him that I would never reveal his name to Frau lein Lieschen, but that I would ex cuse him without giving an3T clue to his identity for the disturbance he hail caused in the night This duty I willingh undertook. Fraulein Lieschen, who was a good naturcd girl, looked at the matter from the comical side and readily ac cepted my unknown friend's apoiogv; and whenever we met on the stairs after that siie would say jokingty: "Please remember me to 3our funii3r friend:" P.

Easy to Catch Them unci Safe to Handle Them When You Know How Hor rible Power or tliq WrUIiliij Crea tures A lit by Devil-Fish. Fly-fishing for the octopus is a pleasing novelty in the gentle art of angling, as practiced in Puget sound. Although this horrid cuttlefish in such high latitudes docs not attain the monstrous size it reaches in tropical or even semi-tropical waters, the averago weight of those along the shore of Washington state is great enough to mako the sport both exciting and dangerous. It is easy enough to catcli them, and after 3ou get the hang of tho thing, safe enough to handle them with tackle. The boat, with only sail enough to keep steerage wa3, is guided over spots where the octo pus lies in wait under shelving rock for his prc3T. As with tho sponge fisherman in Southern waters-, a head less barrel, half submerged in an up right position, is lashed to tho bot tom of tho boat, and a boatman, thrusting his head into this barrel, scans tho bottom closely with prac ticed eye, undistracted b3 the re flected glare from the surface of the surrounding water. With this sim plo device it is possible to see dis tinctly objects at considerable depth. At a signal from the man on the lookout the boat is brought up into the wind and held stationaiy while preparations are speedily inado to hook his octopusship, which has been sighted hing on the bottom, hideous and still, save for a reaching, swaying motion of one or more of its arms or feelers. A long sounding line is run through a pulley at the end of a boom swinging over the' side, a piece of stout white canvas is made fast at tho end for a lure, and the fun begins. Directed b3 the man in tho barrel, the canvas 'fly" is lowered to within a few feet of the lurking devil-lish and kept constantly in motion b3 a scries of sharp jerks, care being taken not to let it come within reach of the fish while he retains his posi tion on the bottom, else it would be impossible to tear it loose from its anchorage, such is tho immense strength exerted b3 the suction disks with which its eight arms, or legs, aro plentiful supplied. The men at the ropes arc warned b3 the watcher of the signs of in creasing interest manifested by the octopus, and when at last it makes a spring for the tantalizing lure and closes its beak-like jaws upon the piece of rag.strong arms heave in the line and the squirming organism, look ing all arms and tentacles, is hoisted to the end of the outngged boom. It is an operation requiring tact, promptness and skill, for the crea ture must not come in contact with tho hull of the boat to which it would attach itself like an unwieldy barnacle until such time as suited its pleasure to let go. a period altogether indefinite for the comolrt of either the skipper or crew. Once dangling at the boom end. however, it is virtually secured, for surrender its hold on the rag it will not Tho octopus holds fast to all it gets with a pertinacity wh'oh shames oven the trusts and monopolies which have been likened to it. 2ow, how ever, the animal's own tenacity is turned against it, and this veiy qualit3 made to assist in landing its possessor at the final stage. Boat hooks and poles are thrust toward it, and when it has fastened its unre laxing grip upon these it is swung inboard, hurled upon the deck and dispatched with an ax. No description can givo an idea of the hideousnessof this creature. To grasp it in its fullest detail one must watch it at such a time as this, as it sprawls about the deck before receiv ing the cuui) de grace, its eight. sometimes ten, arms sprouting about its head, each equipped on the under side with rows of eup-like suctorial disks, which 13 muscular action pro duce a vacuum, giving tho fish its wonderful adhesive power, writhing hither and thither like a coil of serpents. Then its eyes! I'gh! The awfulness of those eyes; great, roll ing, saucer like protuberances that fix 3ou with a fierce stare that sends the cold shivers down your back, especial when you notice the cruel mouth, with curved, beak-like jaws, for all the world like a parrot's many times magnified. When the ax sinks into the grisly body and the twining arms become still you feel as the biuc-water sailor feels when he dis patches a shark that 3011 have done a good action. They are well named devilfish, this species of the cuttle fiimily. to appreciate which it is only necessary to have seen one of the monsters of the Southern seas. There are well authenticated ititaiiccsof specimens weighing oU) pounds and measuring fifteen feet from head to tail and li f t -fcet. in spread of tentacles. While such gigantic specimens are never seen outside the tropics, this fish grows to no mean dimensions along the estern and Southern coast'of Florida, and mairy stories of strange adventuies with the octopus arc told by the fishermen and sponge-hunters of that region. 1 hat even the ! smaller ones arc ugly customers to ( fool with this incident v. ill show. 1 A shell gatherer, while at work on the west coast. amo upon a young octopus among the rocks.

AGONIES OF THE TRANCE. . Voun; Man Describe the Tortures ot Suspended Animation. "You have undoubtedly read now and again in the daily newspaper accounts of persons lying in a trance." said a well known gentle man tho other da3 to a reporter of the National Labor Tribune. "I am one of those persons. It is very har rowing to me to read accounts of people lying in this condition and being put in a coffin, and even stored in a vault, before tho3 came to. I have even read of where a few weeks after some necessity caused disin terment, and then tho body was found turned face down, as though there had been a struggle for freedom.

"Then came alternate periods ol mental struggle and stupor. In the j afternoon I was discovered 13 my ! landlady, who came to look after tho j room.
