They each adjoin the other, are similar in products, climate and character, and to- ether form a sure for the homeseeker hard to equal. The Palouse region has long been noted for its marvelous grain production. It is to the Pacific Coast what the Red River Valley is to Minnesota and North Dakota. . The Potlatch country is like unto the Palouse, and adjoins it on the east. The Nez Perce region. lies south of the others and has until recently been a part of a great Indian reservation. 500,000 acres of it have been thrown open to set- tlement and its lands can be be bought at cheap prices and on favorable terms.

THe OND WoaAK BYE. & Very fimple Experiment by Brhich It May He Discovered. “Zea,” sald the doctor, in a moment of anprofessional confidence, “the mak- @re of optical instruments are turning 9c¢ some wonderful appliances now- adays for discovering imperfections ef vision, but I'll tell youna plan for testing the respective strength of your eyes that is as simple as it is trustworthy. All you” need is a stereoscope and a photograph. That arrangement in which the picture hel¢er slides up and down a flat frame trombone fashion, Is the best sort of Stereoscope for the purpose, although woy will do, and the photograph that be give the best results is a cabinet eize view of some iocality with people tm #. The modus operandi is simpli- eity itself. “Put the photograph in the holder and focus it just enough so that you ea see the faces clearly. Then close the left eye and look at the picture f intently with your right eye while you count thirty slowly. Now close the right eye and look at the picture with the left eye for the same space of time. Then open both eyes and look at the picture without changing the focus. Something queer will fap- pen. The figures on the one side of the picture will seem to move across the view and group themselves with those on the other sides, and— this is the point of experiment—the figures will always move away from the weak eye. Moreover, they move with very precise relation of speed to the weak- ness of vision. If the left eye for ex- ample, is quite weak, the figures will move very quickly across the plane of | sight to the right side, while if there is but a slight defect the movement will be gradual, and so on. “A queer thing about this expert- ment is that, simple as It seems, it wil bring out defect of vision that have never been suspected, and another queer thing is that it will demonstrate the cases in which both eyes are of equal power to be surprisingly ex- ceptional. I have tried it in a score of mixed gatherings, and never yet without having the experimenter ob- serve some movement of the figures. There was an old lady I remember, ap at Port Jefferson, last summer, who persisted in saying that she saw precisely with both eyes as she did with one eye, and well she might, for when I examined her eyes more closely I found she was stone blind on the left side and didn’t know it.”— Jewelers’ Review. ‘ ALARM CLOCK FOR LOVERS. Latest Device for the Relief of Suf- fering Houselfélds. A young man stood in the portico ot an apartment house in Washington park, Brooklyn, the other evening, and on the step above him stood a pretty girl. It was late and the street was de- serted. Despite the darkness it was ap- parent to the occasionat passerby that the young man had the daintily-gloved right hand of the young woman within his own, while his left hand rested over It like a cover to keep it ded. The young man was apparently trying to say good night and the young woman evidently could not hear him, for she was bending her head close to his. They stood in that attitude for nearly fifteen minutes, and might have been discovered in the same pose by the gray dawn of the morning had not something intervened. That something was round and bright, and it came out of a sixth-story win- dow. It descended slowly, the moom light shimmering on its silvery surfaee and making it congpicuous. Soon it could be seen that it was on @ string and was being lowered by an elderly woman. When it dangled over the por- tico there was a sudden bur-r-r-r-r-ring, and the young man and young woman arted like an overstrained hawser. e young man seized the round and bright object, which was still ringing, and held its face to the electr‘e light. The hands on the alarm clock were clasped at midnight. He raised his hat to the young woman, murmured two words in a low tone, and disappeared, The alarm clock was hoisted up quick- ly, but the young woman was.up stairs before it finally reached the open win dow.—New York Sun. ‘ SENATOR BUTLER. The Successor to Senator Ransom of North Carolina. Marion Butler, the leader of the North Carolina Populists, is quite Ukely to be a conspicuous figure in the United States Senate. On March @ he will take the seat which has been oceupied by Senator Matt Ran- som for 24 years. Marion Butler was born in Sampson county, North Caro- lina, in 1863, received a good educa tion and then accepted the principab UZ Be Marion Butler. ep of the village academy where he was educated. When a beardless boy Ha@ Butler became interested in the Alliance movement, and has made it stronger in Sampson and adjoining counties than in ony other part of the state. In 1890 Mr. Butler was eleated to the State Senate. At the 4at— election the Populists, through tumon with the Republicans, were eery successful and Mr. Butler was etceted by a large majority.
