Portland Capital, $120,000.00 OF OREGON 1889 RTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY PORTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1906. NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. Wisconsin Democrats have endorsed Bryan for president. Dr. Lapponi, papal physician, says the pope is in very good health. The ship subsidy bill will be taken up at the next session of congress.

A ticket has been named by the fusion of Democrats, Prohibitionists and Lincoln party men in Pennsylvania. Chairman Burton, of the house rivers and harbors committee, says a 40-foot channel for Coos bay is too much to ask. New York does not have that depth, and Hamburg, Germany, has only 32 feet. Through the Japanese embassy the National Red Cross has received another $36,000 for the relief of San Francisco earthquake and fire sufferers, making the total subscription by Japanese people $146,000. President Roosevelt has approved the joint resolution of congress expressing the horror of the people of the United States as the result of the massacre of Hebrews in Russia and expressing sympathy with those bereaved. The insular government will buy the docks at San Juan, Porto Rico. Independent packing companies of Chicago are giving their plants a thorough cleaning up. All seems quiet in the Panama republic. American marines still remain stationed at various places. Commander Booth-Tucker, of the Salvation Army, and Miss Minnie Reid were married in London June 25. The secretary of the Indiana board of health reports finding chemicals in fresh meats on sale at Indianapolis. Nearly 3,500 tons of hay and 1,000 bags of grain were destroyed in a fire on San Francisco's water front. Loss, about $50,000. The treaty with Mexico concerning the division of the waters of the Rio Grande river for irrigation purposes has been ratified by the senate. Hill has secured the old U. P. grade between Portland and the Sound and construction work has commenced. Steam will be used for freight trains and electric power for passenger. Timothy D. Swift has been convicted of accepting bribes in connection with the award of certain contracts for postal supplies while at Boston postoffice. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $1 and be imprisoned 15 months. James Wickersham will be reappointed judge in Alaska. The Russian government is fearful of an uprising in the army. A plot to kill the king and queen of Italy has been discovered. Rockefeller's money has been refused by the National Juvenile Improvement association.

San Francisco earthquake sufferers complain bitterly of the sale of flour by General Greely. The trial of George Mitchell for the killing of "Holy Roller" Creffield has commenced at Seattle. President Roosevelt has signed a bill authorizing St. Louis to erect and maintain a bridge across the Mississippi at that city. The secretary of the interior rejected the bids recently opened in Portland for cement for the Umatilla and Okanogan irrigation projects. The price was too high. Five ice men at Toledo, Ohio, have been found guilty of combining for the purpose of raising the price of ice and sentenced to one year in the workhouse and to pay a fine of $5,000. General Greely has reorganized the relief work in San Francisco. The friendship of Russia and Great Britain has been cooled by the Jewish massacres. The sultan of Morocco has signed the treaty promulgated by the Algeciras convention. Senator Warren Says Country Is Too Prosperous to Think of Tariff. Washington, June 29.—Senator Warren made a speech in the senate today on his resolution calling on the director of the census for a statement covering the extent of the livestock industry of the United States and of the foreign business in this country in leather and raw material. He cited the recent agitation concerning this industry as his reason for seeking this information. He confidently asserted that the statement would show an astonishing increase and that the product of not less than $2,000,000,000 annually, more than the value of all the gold produced by the United States in the entire history of the country. Warren pronounced as unjust and selfish the demand made by the manufacturers for free hides. He said that while the livestock men do not envy Massachusetts its prosperity they do not desire to add to it by taking off the duty of hides and wool, and closed an appeal for the continuance of the tariff. "We are," he said, "too busy, too well employed, too well paid for our labor, too prosperous to think seriously of tariff revision in the year of our Lord, 1906." Claus Spreckles Says It Will Be the Greatest Port on Hemisphere. Chicago, June 29.—"San Francisco will soon be Greater San Francisco in deed as we are in name. Things have settled themselves since our terrible disaster, capitalists are putting their money into rebuilding and enlarging and in beautifying, and the people generally are exercising a great degree of confidence in the city's future prosperity." Claus Spreckles, of San Francisco, who with his wife was in San Francisco yesterday, thus expressed himself in discussing the future of his home city. All financial interests, he said, although he spoke especially for the sugar interests, were firm in the belief that San Francisco would become the largest and most important port of entry in the western hemisphere. "When our Oriental trade, already large, has become still larger, and when new modern buildings have sprung up out of the ruins, as they surely will, San Francisco will be a greater city in all ways," he said. ATTORNEYS ARE CALLED. Instructions Given for Action Against Standard Oil. Washington, June 29. — Attorney General Moody had conferences today with Frank B. Kellogg and Charles B. Morrison, who have been engaged as special counsel in the investigation which is being made into the affairs of the Standard Oil company, with a view to ascertaining whether there have been any violations of the anti-trust law. With reference to this it was stated today that further investigation is to be made. The attorney general also held conferences with some of the district attorneys he had summoned to Washington, and it was stated that they were being instructed as to how they should proceed against the Standard Oil company. It was also said to be most likely that special grand juries will be called to determine whether the Standard Oil company has been granted rebates or concessions. Cardiff, Wales, June 29. — Violent earthquake shocks were felt throughout South Wales at 94:5 this morning; Houses rocked and many of the cheaper ones were damaged. Hundreds of chimneys fell, occupants of dwellings weret brown to the ground and people fled from their houses, shrieking in panic, with visions of the San Francisco disaster before them. Though there were many narrow escapes from falling chimneys and copings, there were no casualties so far as known. Earthquake shocks were also felt at Bristol, Ilfracombe and elsewhere. They were accompanied by loud rumblings. Earthquake in Ohio. Cleveland, O., June 29. — A shock of felt here at 4:10 o'clock this afternoon is pronounced by Cleveland scientists to have been an earthquake. It is reported to have shaken the southern shore of Lake Erie for a distance of 100 miles, the eastern limit being Pinesville and the western limit Marblehead. No damage has been reported, though in some places the shock was sufficient to slam doors and rattle windows. Local scientists believe the seat of the seismic disturbance was probably beneath Lake Erie. Paris, June 29. — Finance Minister Poincaire intruded the budget in the chamber of deputies yesterday showing a considerable deficit in consequence of the extraordinary expenditure for the military preparations during the Moroccan crisis, amounting to $50,000,000, and also $30,000,000, owing to increased expenditure resulting from internal reforms.

HONESTY IS NOT COMMON THERE Everything Must Be Put Down in Black and White in European Commercial Life. Chicago, June 28. — The Berlin correspondent of the Chicago Daily News cables the following interview with Adolph Kahn, a prominent American business man, on his observance of business mettods abroad: "European mud-slinging at American commercial morals, which is now so popular, is hypocrisy of the rankest kind," said Mr. Kahn. "Wide knowledge of European methods assures me that a comparison of ethics would decidedly favor the business men and business practices of the United States. Representatives of our leading industrial organizations declare that their daily experiences reveal little of the boasted moral superiority of the Old World. "One of them makes the sweeping assertion that, barring perhaps Englishmen, he would not trust any European merchant, manufacturer or tradesman, unless the transactions were tied up in formal documents producible in court." "Such things as a 'gentleman's agreement,' which is an everyday feature of American business, is unknown here. The doctrine of common honesty and mutual trust appears to play no part in European commercial life. Everything must be put down in black and white, and even then there is a tendency to quibble and crawl. Broadgauge, generous methods and principles, characteristic of the best class of American concerns, are utterly foreign to the European business code." PASSES ARE TO BE LIMITED. Rate Bill Conference] Will Also Report Pipe Line Amendment. Washington, June 27. The conference on the railroad rate bill tonight resulted in no agreement on that measure. The discussion made it clear that the pass provision, which is to be perfected for the action of the committee tomorrow morning, will follow closely the lines of the original senate amendment on that subject. It will name certain classes of persons who may receive passes and exclude all others. There is also ground for the prediction that the pipe line amendment will be reported exactly as it was in the last conference report—that is, the phrase "common carriers" will give place to the word "railroads." The effect of this will be to permit pipe lines to transport the product owned by the owners of the pipe line. Before discussing the two disputed amendments it was decided that the former agreement as to all other points in dispute should stand. This was the first meeting since the rejection of the conference report by the senate on account of the pass amendment and the provision relating to pipe lines. Log Rafts for Honolulu. onulou, June 28.—The Slade Lumber company, of Washington, has purchased the business of the Oahu Lumber company here, and in connection with the purchase there are reports that the Washington concern intends to enter the local field and will send lumber here in log rafts to be sawed at a mill which may be established here. The announcement that such plans were being considered has led to objections by some shipping interests to the plan, it being alleged that the log rafts constitute a menace to navigation. Spread of Mutiny. St. Petersburg, June 28.—The commander of the ultra-royal Probrajansky regiment, to which belong the men who recently held a meeting in the guard camp at Krasnoic-Selo and drew up resolutions addressed to their commander, upholding all of the actions of parlament and declaring that they want no more police duty entailing the slaying of brothers or fathers, has been secrely reprimanded by the emperor. Give Up Their Arms. Manila—The Pulajane leaders, Quinentin and Adva, have surrendered to Governor Osmene, and the constabulary. These were the last of the men arrayed against the Americans on the island of Cube. The rifles and ammunition of the members of their band were also surrendered. NO. 10. NEWSPAPER SHOPS SEIZED. Government Attempts to Suppress Accounts of Mutiny in Army. St. Petersburg, June 27.—The government, taking advantage of the effect produced by the frankness and sincerity of Interior Minister Stolypin's declarations in the lower house of parliament, has taken prompt steps to prevent any further anti-Semitic disturbances. But this effect is waning and the impossibility of the present situation is daily coming more to the fore. The sentiment in favor of a change in the ministry is now not only shared by the lower and upper houses of parliament, but is supported by a strong faction at court. The revolutionists are jubilant at the progress made by the military propaganda. The conservative Novoe Vremya today devotes a leading editorial to the subject, and the radical organs print columns of accounts of military troubles, some of which undoubtedly were invented for suggestive effect, but the majority were based on fact. After a vain attempt to stop the publication of unfavorable military news by the confiscation of their editions, the police yesterday seized the typographical outfits of several papers, and the offices of provincial journals which were reprinting the accounts of the Novoe Vremya and Slovo were summarily closed. Agrarian disorders at Kharkoff. Poltava and Tamboff have led to conflicts with the troops. The estate of Prince Volkonsky, a member of the lower house of parliament, at Morshansk, has been plundered and his residence burned. STAY WITH WORK. Cannon Says Congress Must Finish Before It Can Adiurn. Washington, June 27.—Congress will stay in session until its work is finished. This is the dictum of Speaker Cannon and his lieutenants, and is being emphasized at this time to counteract any impression that the pure ood bill, at least, might go over until the next session. There is also trouble on the meat inspection bill, and the "tie up" on the railroad rate bill indicates delay. The immigration bill is also in conference, as are several of the appropriation bills. All of these things must be worked out without any date of adjournment being set, according to the decision of the house leaders. When the work is done an adjournment resolution will be forthcoming in short order. While the situation today spells delay until next week, the work on the floor is progressing. Members say there is no need to prolong the session beyond Friday, if the conferences make up their minds that the work must be done or that agreements which will meet all demands can be arranged on all matters before that time, and that if the idea of prolonging the session for the purpose of killing certain bills is abandoned, this week will see the end. SPREAD FERMENT. Russian Parliament Openly Advocates Revolution. St. Petersburg, June 27.—The session of the lower house of parliament today was openly devoted to the revolutionist propaganda for undermining the loyalty of the troops. A score of speeches couched in ardent revolutionary tone were delivered, with the direct object of their dissemination among the soldiers. The authorities, who are able to confiscate papers containing telegraph accounts of the ferment among the soldiery, are unable to prevent the publication of parliamentary speeches, and those delivered today will tomorrow be printed in every radical paper in the empire and so find their way into every barracks, camp and outpost. The rostrum was abandoned almost entirely to Cossack representatives. The conservative Cossacks did their best to counteract the addresses of their revolutionary conferees. The lie was freely passed on both sides regarding the sentiments of the Cossack soldiers and their devotion to duty, in spite of the utmost efforts of Prince Paul Dolgourokoff, who occupied the chair in the absence of President Mouroumtseff. Detectives Murdered in Streets Warsaw, June 27.—At 5 o'clock this evening in the outskirts of this city a band of terrorists, armed with revolvers, attacked three detectives, of whom they killed two and wounded the third. When an ambulance arrived and the doctors tried to assist the wounded detective, two men approached and fired twice, killing the injured man. The shots attracted Cossacks and infantry to the scene, and the soldiers barred the street, firing several volleys by which a number of sympathizing workmen were wounded. Investigating Canadian Beef. Victoria, B. C., June 27. — An Otta, wa special says Hon. Sydney Fisherminister of agriculture, is having an investigation made into the canned meat industry of Canada so as to be able to assure the British buyer of the purity of the Canadian article. Even the man who isn't square may be cornered. The Czar's present opinion of the douma is probably unfit to print. "The glory that was Greece" seems to have passed to the United States. The Czar of Russia is only 38, but he has had almost reverses enough to make him 83. If a man boasts that he has no enemies he seldom has occasion to boast of his friends. In view of recent disclosures Mr. Rockefeller's income probably has been underestimated. Notwithstanding his advancing years the Sultan of Turkey seems to be about the same old Sultan. Now that Cuba has had a $500,000 fire there is no more doubt that she is becoming Americanized. The man who never made a success of anything in his life always wonders why other men do not heed his advice. Mr. Rockefeller's taste in art is said to be crude. That may be because he has used his refinery for other purposes. Of course, when the psalmist fixed man's limit of time at three score and ten he had never heard of Uncle Joe Cannon. Now that a hospital for the very rich is projected, the doctors will have to think up some more exclusive disease than appendicitis for them to have. "I admire the spirit that never gives up," said John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to his Bible class. Must be a great admirer of dad, who doesn't give up much. Millinery may be taught in some of the Chicago schools next year. This is encouraging. The time may come when every girl will be able to make her own hats. If we have the right idea of the speed of Mr. Harriman's train across the country, when doing its best, it passes eight or ten given points at the same time. Congress has voted to have the United States build the largest battleship in the world. By the time the keel is laid down England will have made arrangements to construct a 21,000-tonner. A prophet who predicted the Mont Peleu disaster, the eruption of Vesuvius and the San Francisco earthquake says New York will be destroyed within two years. This isn't likely, however, to worry Wall street half as much as the scarcity of lambs, which, according to recent reports, is becoming more evident day by day. The average man is not accustomed to regard his health as his very best asset, yet that is precisely what it is. The man who will accord due regard to his health, from a stricly business standpoint, will go further, last longer and accomplish more in the end than one who makes health an after-consideration. Success which is attained at the expense of health is worth absolutely nothing to the man who attains it. There is no pleasure either in the process or in the final result. The aim of the reformers in school and college athletics should be clearly and directly the betterment of conditions, not the extirpation of the love of combat which is inherent in the nature of mankind. The notion that hard general work, resulting in full muscular development, saps vitality, weakens the organs and is a wearying incubus to the individual is so illogical as hardly to deserve an answer. But some persons believe this. Such should pity the wild animals that, guided only by an instinctively physiological need, run jump, pursue and wrestle with one another, thereby using and developing fully their whole bodies. The growing importance of the gulf ports for the shipment of western produce is gathered from a statement recently issued by the Department of Commerce. For the ten months ending with April Galveston, New Orleans and Mobile exported $30,000,000 worth of breadstuffs, against $33,000,000 worth for all the Chesapeake ports, including Baltimore, and $37,000,000 worth for New York. New York's lead is readily accounted for by the advantage it has in the cheap water route through the lakes and the Erie canal, which also give her not a little wheat from the Canadian fields. With a deep waterway from Chicago to the mouth of the Mississippi, New Orleans, which contributes $16,500,000 to the above total of $30,000,000 for the three gulf ports, would in all likelihood excel New York in the shipments of breadstuffs and other western produce. A year ago the trolley car began to displace the horse car. It soon became manifest that the displacement would become general. Many were led to anticipate the downfall of the horse, or, at least, a great decline in the value of horses, owing to their banishment from one field of usefulness. A little later came the automobile. It has commenced taking the place in the city of the draft horse as well as of the carriage horse. That led to predictions that the day of the horse was over and that the raising of them would become a decaying industry. The horse refuses to go, and his value has advanced. On Jan. 1, 1897, there were 14,364,000 horses in this country. On the first day of 1906 there were 18,718,000. In nine years there has been an increase of 30 per cent. The gain in the number of mules has been great, but not so large. In 1897 there were 2,215,000. This year, notwithstanding the heavy purchases made by the British Government during the Boer war, there are 3,400,000. The increase in the valuation of these animals is more surprising than in their numbers. The total value of horses has advanced from $452,000,000 to $1,510,000,000, and of mules from $92,300,000 to $34,600,000. It is hard to explain such an advance in values, except on the theory that the valuation in 1897 was too low or that for 1906 a little inflated. Even after making all allowances it is manifest that the value of the horse and mule has not been affected by the introduction of improved modes of locomotion. One may rest assured that the 18,700,000 American horses are not eating their heads off. Those that are old enough are employed on the farms and in the city. The supposition that horse power might be supplanted by electric power was not well founded. There is so much work to be done in the United States that both kinds of power are needed, and probably always will be. Speakers at a meeting of the Woman's Trade Union League in Chicago maintained the other day that the wages of women are far below the American standard of decent living, and that it is high time to disabuse employers of the notion that women workers are willing to receive unequal pay for equal work. Some put the minimum "living wage" at $15 and some at $25, but all agreed that a rate of $0 or $7 means "charitable assistance" in some form or another. Impartial and intelligent students of the question of woman in industry—like the two University of Chicago women who dealt with it in the Journal of Political Economy only a few months ago—recognize that women hardly ever do "the same work" as men. "The demand for the same wage," say the university investigators, "can be based on the claim that there is the 'same work.' In the face of the facts just presented, it is fair to ask. Where is the same work to be found under present conditions?" "The facts presented" in the article indicate that there is little direct competition between men and women workers. The last census report says that "if we look at the list of occupations we find women doing the lighter work, the mechanical work, the less skilled" in the industries where they work by the side of men. American and British labor reports contain plenty of evidence that "women and children perform the lighter, while men perform the heavier grades' of work in occupations which employ both sexes. The question of equal pay for equal work is by no means as simple as it looks. With regard to the "living wage" generally, is it true that the women who receive less than $15 a week in a large city must in the end have recourse to charitable assistance? The girl who lives at home and is in part supported by the head of the family is not dependent on charity. Her wages may not cover all her expenses, but the family does not expect that they should. All can live in comfort where the wages of the father are supplemented by those of two or more children. Under these circumstances—and they are the rule rather than the exception—says the Chicago Record-Herald, women are certainly willing to work for lower wages than they would need were they compelled to support themselves absolutely and to enjoy none of the advantages of family economy and co-operation. In regard to amusements, it is not to be overlooked that girls seldom pay for such things, their boy friends and acquaintances being only too anxious to "take them" to the theater, the summer garden, the skating rink, and so on. An industrial order based on supply and demand, on competition, automatically governs itself by such facts and circumstances. Exonerating Venables Once when W. Holman-Hunt, the English painter, was dining with Thackeray, he noticed a marble bust of the novelist as a boy. The bust was well modeled, says Hunt in his recently published volume of reminiscences of "Pre-Raphaelite and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood," and admirable for its open expression. It registered the form of the nose, the sinking of the bridge which distinguished his handsome, dignified face. As Hunt gazed he recalled the reported remark of the housekeeper at Charterhouse, after Thackeray's pugilistic encounter with Venables, and on seeing the bruise which Thackeray's face had received: "You have destroyed the looks of the handsomest boy in the school." When Hunt had silently decided this, Thackeray noticed him, and exclaimed: "I know what you are wondering at. You want to know whether the bust was done 'before or after.' Well, it was done before." When a man takes a girl out riding on a country road, and puts his arm around her, some one passes and tells, though they are riding in the wilderness.

Wholesale Dealers in Imported and Domestic --- Compressing 300,000 newspapers by hydraulic machinery, an Austrian genius has constructed a yacht of the material thus obtained. It is sixteen feet long, and every part, including the masts and sails, is paper. By means of ergograph measurements, M. Charles Ferre has found that one-tenth more work can be done standing than sitting, but that the greater intensity of effort during a long period in the standing position is followed at the end by more rapid fatigue Fog dissipation by electric discharges has proven more effective when the fog contains dust or smoke than when it is water only, the solid particles seeming to become charged and to be then repelled, precipitating particles of vapor with which they collide. With a bundle of spikes as radiator, a space of some yards can be cleared in a few seconds. About ten species of "vegetable sponges" are now cultivated in the warmer parts of Africa and Asia, especially in Algeria. The fruit is edible before maturity, but on ripening the pulp separates from the fibrous material, which then becomes an excellent substitute for real sponge for the toilet, bath room and many other purposes. The Algerian sponges are in large demand in Paris. The small, "the poor man's oyster" of France and Spain, is pronounced a very pleasing food when selected from, clean feeding grounds and properly cooked. Its nutritive value is 100 per cent greater than that of the oyster, analysis showing that the solids embrace nearly 90 per cent of tissue building proteld matter, besides which are 6 per cent of fat and 4 per cent of mineral substance including phosphates. Talking before the Institution of Electrical Engineers at Glasgow, on the unknown energy contained in the chemical elements and the prospect of making it available, F. Soddy said that the forces at our disposal compared with those exhibited when an atom suffers change are of a different and lower order of magnitude. Suppose he said, that a way could be found in which uranium, which disintegrates to the extent of a thousand-million part annually, could be made to dislutegrate completely in the course of a year; then from one gram of uranium 1,000,000,000 caloric could be evolved, which, converted into electric energy, would suffice to keep a 32 candle-power lamp burning continuously through the year. By the expenditure of about one ton of uranium, costing less than $5,000, more energy would be derived than is supplied by all the electric supply-stations of London put together. Much has been said of late in favor of the extensive cultivation of the black locust, and one railroad company is reported to have planted nearly 1,500-000 trees of this species, with the view of utilizing their extraordinarily durable wood. But Charles A. White of the Smithsonian Institution points out, in the Popular Science Monthly, that the black locust possesses a mortal enemy in a longcorn beetle, which bores the wood through and through. It is a native of the same regions in which the tree flourishes, and depends upon the tree for its own existence. When population flowed to Illinois and Iowa, the black locust was taken along. It fourished luxuriously for some years, until its insect foe followed it, and now, says Mr. White, nothing remains of the great groves of black locust in the Middle West except blasted remnants. The tree, native east of the Alleghenies, from New York to the Gulf, was also transplanted to Europe, whither its enemy has not followed it. Eggs in Georgia. When the traveler stopped for lunch on a small railway eating house in Georgia, says a writer in the Atlanta Constitution, a diminutive colored boy, covered with some three 'feet of soiled apron, appeared and in none too gentle a tone announced that the bill of fare was ham, eggs, corn bread and coffee. After due delibration, the traveler said he would like some ham, eggs, corn bread and coffee. Such a pretentious order for one person staggered the small waiter momentarily. But he soon recovered, and as he started toward the kitchen he said: "How'll yer hab dem eggs, boss, blind or lockin' at yer?" or lookin' at yer "Lookin' at me," replied the traveler, feeling sure that eggs that were turned over would be likely to be cooked too long to be either palatable or wholesome. A Joke on the Speaker. The Springfield Republican tells of a joke that was played the other day on Speaker Cannon of the United States House of Representatives. When the Speaker sat down at his desk he found a slay of paper asking him to call up number so-and-so on the 'phone. He did as requested, saying, "Do you want me?" "I don't know," came back the answer "Well, I haven't time to be fooling around here; do you want me?" insisted the Speaker. "Who are you, anyway?" "This is the government hospital for the insane," was the reply; "if you think you ought to be here, why, come along." Don't expect any man to thank you for trying to induce him to do what he doesn't want to do. THE SEATTLE TRANSFER CO. LOW FREIGHT RATES ON HOUSEHOLD GOODS TO AND FROM THE EAST WRITE US Seattle, Wash.

One usually thinks of clothes posts as necessary evils and accepts their ugliness as unredeemable. It will surprise many to learn that they may be made beautiful and retain their usefulness. I have seen a set of clothes posts in a back yard entirely covered with living green—a luxuriant growth of Virginia creeper. On the side of each one was a staple securely anchored in the post and a large ring hung from the staple. Through the ring the line was passed on washday. The rest of the week the posts were strictly ornamental. The best permanent screen for unsightly objects is a group of evergreens. A clump of iliacs costs less and begins to be effective sooner. Hide the garbage can in a mass of shrubbery. Some back yards are too small for outbuildings of any kind. In larger ones some sort of arbor—call it a pergola if you like—is delightful. It makes a dry place for children to play when the grass is dewy. It is just the thing for afternoon tea or sewing and is less public than the front porch and far more comfortable than the hot kitchen when shelling peas or stemming strawberries. An arbor covered with vines at the kitchen door will be greatly appreciated by the "help," especially on summer evenings. Now for the garden proper. In most cases I should plant all around the border and have the center in grass. In a yard only 25 by 50 a flower border three or four feet wide is probably best. In a larger yard a border with gracefully undulating front outline will be suitable and more pleasing. Groups of shrubs may be placed in or near the corners to break the monotony of the straight line.—Wilhelm Miller. Newspapers are printing the customary summer stories of crowds of visitors from this country flocking to Europe and overrunning the hotels and public places. The treasury statistics show that about 150,000 Americans go to Europe every year and the estimated expenditure of this army of visitors is $1,000, so that European hotel owners, storekeepers, transportation companies and other purveyors to sightseers receive about $150,000,000 annually from the overflowing American pocketbook. Geronimo, at one time the most blood-thirsty among Apache Indians, the other day preached a short sermon to about a hundred members of his tribe at the Fort Sill military reservation in Oklahoma. The old chief seemed much affected while speaking He stood on a tree stump amid a cluster of elms on the Medicine river. At the close of the services he offered a prayer for President Roosevelt. A prophet who predicted the Mount Peleu disaster, the eruption of Vesuvius and the San Francisco earthquake says New York will be destroyed within two years. This isn't likely, however, to worry Wall street half as much as the scarcity of lambs, which, according to recent reports, is becoming more evident day by day. A Michigan court has decided that wives are entitled to only one-half of their husband's income. This will brighten mere man up a bit. It beats getting only street car fare. The mayor of Bayonne, N. J., has received a petition to establish a squad of uniformed women police. Oh, Jane! your helmet is on crooked.

When he understands that he will understand better how the desire for independence is one of the factors that draws men back to the country. Independence is one of the dreams of the city man. But it is a dream with most men that never comes true. The conditions of life are such that the desire to rest and breathe close to the fields and woods cannot be realized. The rich man is often so enamored of his money and the prospect for more that he waits just a little longer, until death overtakes him still in pursuit of the dollar; the poor man cannot give up his work for a day, or if he is in slightly better circumstances he wants to be just a little more sure he is making no mistake in giving up the days of being bossed for the era of doing as he likes. Happy the man who can always live a life of independence, but happy also the man who while serving others can live in independence of mind and spirit and lead a simple and useful life. That does not depend upon environment, and it contemplates no control of others or by others. It is the domain into which others cannot enter, and it is absolute in its possibilities for happiness whatever the stress of life where business holds sway. Most workers must take their happiness as they go along, without expectation of years of leisure or absolute independence. It is their good fortune if they can make it a happiness which all the world's a-seeking.—Lowell, Mass., Courier-Citizen. HENEVER you think I have preached long enough I want any of you to say so and I will immediately announce the last hymn.

This preacher evidently wants to preach the gospel so that it will stick in his people's minds. He can't do much to tired minds. Therefore he must gauge his sermons to suit. The tendency of all public peech is toward condensation. The Edward Everett style of oration belongs to the stage coach era. This is an electric age demanding electric speech. Brevity is the soul of eloquence nowadays. The direct, nervous utterance is the speech of the busy day. And Robert G. Ingersoll, if he may be mentioned in this connection, did as much as any public speaker to fix the condensed style, the short, simple words of modern oratory. The same tendency is seen in the later newspaper editorials. It was a great shock to the literary folk when Arthur Brisbane began to write editorials on common every day things and cut out all the long words. But that style of editorials has won out. If the pulpit is to keep in touch with the times it must adapt itself. The modern audience is quick to catch on. The preacher need not spend unnecessary words to tell the old story of love and sacrifice. And only the speaker of unusual charm is able to hold an audience longer than 85 or 40 minutes. Before all else the future man of the pulpit must stay by the gospel themes—the themes that touch men's hearts and hopes. He must have something vital to say. And he must say it without unnecessary rhetoric. The man their children, and we were introduced all round. It was all quite as neighborly and informal as if it had been at home. My wife was taken in to dinner by a prince, a shy, boyish young fellow, whose great ambition, he confided to her, was to live in a New York skyscraper, and shoot up and down in the elevator. They say that Frederik never forgets anything. I had proof of this when we next met, in Ribe, my old town on the North Sea, where he had come with the royal household to open the Donkirke, restored after the wear and decay of nine centuries. I was coming out of our hotel at 7 in the morning, and in the square ran plumb into a gentleman in a military cloak, who had a young man for company, and a girl of 15 or 16. "Good morning, Mr. Riis!" said he. "I hope you are well, and your wife, since last we met." It surely must be that I am getting old and foolish. The voice I knew; there are few as pleasing. But the man—I stood and looked at him. A smile crept over his features and broadened there. All at once I knew him. "But, good gracious, your royal highness." I said, "who would expect to find you here before any one is up and stirring? You are really yourself to plame." He laughed. "We are early risers, my children and I." he said. "We have been out since 6 o'clock." WHO HAS THE MOST FUN? A Bunch of Bright Ones that Ought to Fade Like A Rose to Enjoy Life if Anyone Does. Who among us has the most fun nowadays? One can only guess, but guessing on such a question is some fun in itself. We guess Uncle Mark Twain has a fair amount of daily sport. He is a very kind man, and finds many opportunities nowadays to do public services of a benevolent sort to great advantage. The papers, as we write, say he is going to preside at a meeting for the benefit of the blind. He does such things often, and makes very good speeches on such occasions and on all occasions when he speaks at all. To exercise the gift of discourse to edification is a high pleasure. Mark --- WHO IS THE HAPPY MAN? THE SAX-WHEN SERMON. W The new King of Denmark, Frederik VIII., begins his reign rich in the love and respect of his people. He is as democratic a sovereign as even Denmark could desire, and is possessed of that last blessing of public men—a wonderful memory for faces. When Jacob Rilis was in Denmark in 1004, says a writer in the Outlook, he was invited with his wife to dine at Charlottelund with Frederik, then crown prince, and the crown princess. I just borrowed a top hat—it was tlre sizes too small, and I was glad to carry it in my hand in the presence of royalty—says Mr. Rilis, and the rest was easy. We drove out with the American minister and his wife, who were also invited. Charlottenlund lies in the forest just outside Copenhagen, on the beautiful store road. We hardly knew we were half-way there when we wheeled into the palace grounds, and the door of the carriage was yanked open by lockers who swarmed to help the ladies. In we went, and almost before we could breath a door was thrown open, our names were announced, and the crown princess came forward with outstretched hand. "It was very good of you to come out to us," she said. Our entrance had been so sudden, due to the hustle to make way for the princes following close upon us, and in thought and speech we had been so far away during the ride, that the Danish greeting left me for the moment dumb, groping my way four thousand miles across the sea. Slowly and laboriously, as it seemed to me, I found the tongue of my childhood again, but awkward beyond belief. This is what it said: "How very respectable of you to ask us!" The crown princess looked at me a moment, uncertain what to think, then caught the expression on my wife's face, and laughed outright. At that the prince came up and heard the explanation, and we all laughed together. The next moment the room was filled with with a real message can say enough in 30 minutes to keep his audience thinking for a whole week. The day of the ponderous polished essay in the pulpit is over. It has gone with the prosy, padded, long-winded editorial. This is the day for the say-when aermons.—Des Moines News. MOST MARRIAGES ARE HAPPY. are entitled to be called happy. In the second place it outrageously puts the whole blame for unhappy marriages on the female partner, contrary alike to probability and to fact. But at least as many of the marriages are failures in which men "choose" their wives, or think they do, as in cases in which men become the prey of their own imaginations. And there is this to be said from the point of view of reasons in favor of marriages with which reason has nothing to do. In the first months of married life there are necessarily very many differences to be adjusted and small incompatibilities of ways of thinking and feeling to be reconciled. That, as all experienced spouses know, is the trying period. Marriage is like life in that it is a school wherein who does not learn must suffer. Now, to diminish the friction of this trying time no better lubricant could possibly be provided than the romantic love, which cannot be expected to last forever, but which may very probably outlast this greatest necessity for it of the common familial period. When the glamour of the romance "fades into the light of common day," and a real man and a real woman takes the place of the creatures of each other's fancy, and passion cools into at best the tenderest of friendships, both parties are better off, and will acknowledge themselves to be better off because the romance has been.

Clothes brush might be easily responsible for the dismotion of disease. Dust is rarely, if ever, free from no organisms and among them pathogenic entities have recognized. Dust is, in fact, an enemy of the hurace, a vehicle of disease, and should everywhere on every occasion, however trifling, be prevented as means can be employed to that end. The clothes brush is a vigorous dust producing agent, since its application is indispensable it should be in a manner as far as possible consistent with hygic requirements. Clothes, of course, must be brushust or carpets must be beaten, but both processes create a nuisance which is different not in kind, but only in tree. Just, therefore, as there are grounds reserved for beating of carpets remote, as they should be, from an habitation, so also ought there to be in a house-conducted on hygienic lines a special room relegated to brushing of clothes. The brushing of clothes is, in a clumay and an unsanitary procedure, which might advantage be superseded by some more effectual and offensive method. The use of some kind of vacuum brush for the purpose would, sanitarily speaking, be.1.—London Lancet. the clothes brush might be easily responsible for the dissemination of disease.

Dust is, in fact, an enemy of the human race, a vehicle of disease, and should everywhere and on every occasion, however trifling, be prevented as far as means can be employed to that end. The clothes brush is a vigorous dust producing agent, and since its application is indispensable it should be used in a manner as far as possible consistent with hygienic requirements. Clothes, of course, must be brushed, just as carpets must be beaten, but both processes create a nuisance which is different not in kind, but only in degree. Just, therefore, as there are grounds reserved for the beating of carpets remote, as they should be, from human habitation, so also ought there to be in a household conducted on hygienic lines a special room relegated to the brushing of clothes. The brushing of clothes is, in fact, a clumy and an unsanitary procedure, which might with advantage be superseded by some more effectual and less offensive method. The use of some kind of vacuum brush for the purpose would, sanitarily speaking, be ideal—London Lancet. --- S T WIFT'S saying that the reason why so few marriages are happy is that "young ladies spend their time in making nets, not in making cages," is doubly outrageous. In the first place it is an outrageous begging of the question. The testimony of less cynical observers in our day and country is that most marriages HE brushing of dusty clothes in the living rooms of the household is opposed to cleanly sentiment, apart altogether from the evil to health which, as the bacteriology of dust distinctly indicates, might easily be caused by the process. The imagination does not require to be stretched very far to realize that does it vocally and by word of pen. His command of good, and also of bad, language is fluent, comprehensive and exact. He practices an art of which he is a master, and he indulges the impulses of a benevolent spirit. Of course he has a good time. And, of course, President Roosevelt has a lot of fun. Action and reaction is the rule of physics, but it is not the rule of him. He has the exhilaration of perpetual action without any considerable reactions that anyone ever hears of. Thomas Edison must have fun, too. The processes of inventive thought must be exceedingly interesting, especially when they pan out as well as Mr. Edison's processes do. He has the pleasures of the imagination added to the joys that come from searching after truth and getting clamps on it. He makes money, too, but that to him is an incident and a troublesome but necessary digression from the pursuit of happiness. Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, must have a vast deal of fun of a sort not unlike Edison's. Burbank began work in a plow factory, and kept his wonderful mind on the improvement of machinery just long enough to make some money with which to undertake the remodeling of the vegetable world. Then he invented a new potato, and made a little more money and moved to California, where he opened a plant factory. Anyone who does not know of the marvels he has done should read up about him. 'There is joy, of course, in creation, else things wouldn't have been created. Burbank must have tasted that joy in abundant measure.—Harper's Weekly. While taking stock of the old machinery at the Calcutta mint the engineers found that a boiler, which must have been put down in the first half of the nineteenth century, was of the purest copper. Its value was enormously greater than when it was manufactured, because the great consumption of copper in electrical machines has raised the price of the metal. The boiler was melted down and converted into copper coins. Every bald man would be willing to wear a wig if he thought he could do it without detection. "Oldest Bank in the State of Washington."

The Holy Spirit is not selecting churches according to their style. Heavenly considerations often appear trifling to a man until he has some treasure there. APPETITE is often mistaken for aspiration. The Holy Spirit is not selecting churches according to their style. Heavenly considerations often appear trifling to a man until he has some treasure there. A woman with a new hat never gets settled before the sermon. The man who syndicates his sorrows always tries to corner his bliss. Restoring the credit is a much simpler matter than rebuilding the character. The man who is all sounding brass thinks that he strikes the keynote for the universe. The sermon will not furnish food for faith if you use it only to find flaws in the preacher. Many men are anxious to get on the payroll of life who have no interest in the shop-tickets. When a man is sad on his own account it can be usually laid either to selfishness or to sin. People who are doing God's work have no time to worry over the way they look while doing it. The man who has faith in some folly is always more persuasive than he who simply preaches by rote. A good many of us will carry scars to our graves, earned by trying to make things hot for others. It is safe to keep away from the amusement that acts as an invitation to the devil that come and tempt us. One of the most certain signs of backsliding is when you begin to congratulate yourself on your broadmindedness. FUTURE FORETOLD BY MIRROR. Relie of Oriental Mystics Owned in Washington Still Doing Business. There is a magic mirror here which is supposed to have come from the temple of Aloera, in the Himalayan Mountains, where a monastery of ascetic monks devoted their time to the development of psychic powers, says the Washington correspondent of the New York World. It is oblong, a foot and a half long and a foot wide. It has a black wooden frame three inches wide inclosing a highly polished glass perfectly black, due to the back being palated with asphaltum. The mirror was owned by Dr. Leroy Taylor, a student of the occult, who got it from a woman who had passed much of her life in foreign travel. Just before his death he gave the mirror to Mrs. Gordon, who lives in 10th street between M and N streets. From her the psychological societies have been trying to purchase the glass, offering large sums for it. A person who wishes to consult the mirror goes into a room by himself and holds the mirror in his lap at an angle which meets the eye without causing a reflection on the polished surface. It is asserted that if the user possesses any psychic power there will appear on the glass a filmy white cloud, which will pass across and disappear in the frame, while out of the mist will appear faces and scenes of happenings to come. There are many persons who declare they have seen visions in the mirror—propecies which have come true. The late Judge Caswell of California, while visiting in the home of Dr. Taylor looked in the mirror and saw the face of a nean relative then living in Pittsburgh. He was struck by the peculiar way in which the hair was combed back off the forehead. Two weeks later Judge Caswell was at the funeral of this relative and the hair was combed back in exactly that manner. Mrs. Gordon, on looking in the mirror recently, saw the picture of a house on a lawn, near a river, on fire. The next day a telegram was received saying that the home of Dr. Taylor's son on the Potomac River had been burned the day before. Dr. Taylor's grandchildren saw the face of their dead grandmother in the mirror. A Philadelphia politician was talking about the late Samuel H. Ashbridge, former Mayor of the city. "I worked under Mr. Ashbridge for three years," he said, "and found him a good master. But one thing he always insisted on. That was implicit obedience to orders. If he told you to do a thing, that, and nothing else, was what you were to do. He didn't like to have a subordinate try to improve on his orders. "I once tried to improve on an order of Mr. Ashbridge's. An errand I had been sent on I did better, as I thought, than I had been told to do it. But when I came back, the Mayor smiled and told me a story. "He said that there was a young man in love with a rich and beautiful girl. The girl informed him one afternoon that the next day would be her birthday. He said he was glad to hear it. He said he would send her the next morning a bouquet of roses, one rose for each year. "So that night he wrote a note to his norist, ordering the immediate delivery of 20 roses to the young lady. But the florist, reading this order, thought he would please the young man by improving on it, and so he said to his clerk: "Here is an order from young Smith for 20 roses. Smith is one of my best customers. Throw in 10 more for good measure." ONE OF THE BEST SALOONS IN LIVING- STON. WM. GRABOW. Fine brands of all kinds of liquors. Wholesale dealer in Jos.

Announcement has been made of the opening, Oct. 1, of the new college ft Socialism at New York, endowed by the late Elizabeth D, Rand, mother of Mrs, George D. Herron. Algernon Lee, who was the Socialist candidate for Mayor of New York last year and editor of the leading Socialist organ, the Worker, is to be president of the new college. Its home is a four-story, brown-stone building at 112 East Nineteenth street. ‘The course is to be divided into three groups—first in which the lighter foundation subjects of political economy, history and sociology will be taught by lecture and textbooks ; second, the lecture conference course in which the free discussion of theories and principles of social reform and ethics will be encouraged, and third what might be called applied Socialism or lecture courses on labor unions, child labor, woman suf- frage, age pensions, immigration and oth- er practical subjects. President Lee says that the object is to furnish a scientific basis for socialistic thought rather than to run a propaganda. There will be noth- ing but evening classes at the beginning. The other officers are Morris Hilguitt, treasurer, and W. J. Ghent, secretary. ‘Guidt ae Gn edie Cadenantis.

"There were people who told me it would not stay cured, but I am sure that I am cured, for I do not feel any more ill effects, have a good appetite and am getting fat. "So I am, and will say to all, I am cured for good. "I thank you for your kindness. "Peruna will be our house medicine hereafter." Catarr of the stomach is also known in common parlance as dyspepsia, gastritis and indigestion. No medicine will be of any permanent benefit except it removes the catarrh. A Great Tonic.

A Unique City. In one respect, Quito, the capital of Ecuador, is the most unique city in the world. It is situated in both the northern and southern hemispheres—if we accept the equator as the real dividing line—a distinction claimed by no other place of importance on the globe. At Quito the sun rises and sets at 6 o'clock the year round. You may forget to wind your watch while you are visiting the Ecuadorian capital, but you need not hunt up a regulator; set it when the sun rises or sets, and you will be sure to be right. Old Sol makes no mistakes. The seasons, as far as names are concerned, change almost instantly; but, as the temperature is remarkably even, these curious points are seldom thought of by the people who make Quito their home.

This octagonal barn is 25 feet on each side, providing accommodation for about fifty head of cattle. There is a considerable gain in floor space when the octagon form is used instead of the square form, the same amount of wall enclosing a greater number of square feet. The main objection to an eight-sided barn is that it is difficult to fill with a hay fork or sheaf carrier. This may be largely overcome by erecting a gable on one of the sides of the roof and running a track in room that height, which may be extended to within 20 feet of the opposite wall. The roof requires to be self-supporting and to secure this the plates should be bolted together at the corners and held by a band of iron 4 feet long, bent to fit and solidly bolted so that the corners can never spread. In Barn the stable part the larger cattle should be assigned to the outer circle, the smaller ones to the inner row. One feeding alley serves for the two rows, and a circular track can be arranged for carrying silage. In order to get sufficient light there requires to be an almost continuous window about three feet above the ground.-Montreal Star. Profit in Forest Thinning. A bulletin entitled "Improvement Thinning" has been issued by the State forester of Massachusetts. The author shows that the growth on considerable areas can be improved and made more productive by the application of moderate thinning while the stands are in the process of development. Thin as often as the material to be removed will pay for its removal is the rule laid down as to how often to thin. As to the degree to which it is safe to thin, the cover should never be broken to such an extent that it will not close again in two or three years and cast a dense shade. In answer to the objection that is sometimes urged that such work is impracticable under existing conditions of the labor and wood market, the author refers to the fact that thinning has been done and is going on now in Massachusetts and neighboring States, and that it has not only paid for itself, but has in some instances yielded a net profit of from twenty-five cents to $2 on each cord of wood removed. Prepare the Wool Well. A wool grower sending wool to market in a heavy, dirty condition, leaving anything in the fleece to make more weight, and expecting to get more money is greatly mistaken. Buyers estimate the value of the clip by the net yield of clean wool. When growers do their best they secure for themselves the best results. The soundness of the fiber may be tested by stretching a small staple between the fingers. Staple $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches in length up, is classed combing below clothing. Labor expended in preparing the clip for sale is well bestowed and brings its own reward. The yolk in wool is the oily substance which gives color and lends softness to the fleece. It also promotes the growth of the fleece and prevents the wearing of the fiber. Good feeding, shelter and care promotes this secretion. Sheep and Bad Weather. Sheep are tender, and but for their dense covering of wool, could not endure severe winters. In the wild state the lambs are not produced until mild weather. Domestication has changed the conditions somewhat, and lambs come early, but they are not well protected with wool covering and need warmth. This fact must not be overlooked when the ewes are due to lamb Rye for Pasture. The early rye always shows itself soon after the weather begins to moderate in the spring, and some farmers usually then begin to use it for pasturage. It is a mistake to use the rye too early, as it may cause scours. It is very laxative in its effects, being watery, and a change from dry feed to young rye very early in the season may result in loss of milk. THE NEW AGE. PORTLAND. OREGON Traveling School of Agriculture. Cornell University in New York will this summer make an entirely new and somewhat unique departure in its agricultural work. Following a petition signed by seventeen students who were desirous of becoming acquainted with agricultural conditions existing in different portions of the United States, the college will send out a special car, fitted with the accommodations for the housing and study equipment of the students during their trip. It has been styled a traveling school of agriculture. Those in charge plan to start on the trip about the 1st of July, the itinerary being planned with a view to covering about eight weeks, while the cost per student is placed at about $400. The car will go from Ithaca to Buffalo and through Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania and back home. In a way this experiment will be along the line of the seed corn and good road special trains which have been in operation on many lines of road in the upper Mississippi valley during the past two years, proving both popular and greatly beneficial to the agricultural interests of the localities visited. The course of agricultural instruction contemplated in the above tour will give the students who take advantage of it a first hand and intimate as well as extensive acquaintance with the conditions and methods of agriculture covering the whole country and will give a breadth of view and a fund of practical information that could hardly be got from study in one place or in one school. Goats Will Eat Everything Here are some things which the brush goat will eat: Hazel, crab, blackberry, cedar, hemlock, holly, willows, haws, buck, squawberries, hickory, sage brush, elder, greasewood, sumac, ash, grape, jackoak, mahogany, pine, maple, fir, rosebush, cherry, alder, salal, apple, poplar, all kinds of oak, plum, elm and many others. As to weeds, everything appears to be to their taste, even to the poison ivy, which some breeders say they eat safely, provided they have a variety of other weeds to vary their diet. Browsing gives the venison or game flavor to the flesh, and for that reason is to be preferred; fed as sheep or cows, the flesh has the mutton flavor. Fumigating the Orchard. The insect tax upon this country's agricultural interests is something stupendous. Indeed, were it not for the ravages of insects, great and small, the life and profits of the horticulturist would be so attractive as to completely change the present attitude toward their occupation. The government experts are doing an enormous amount of educative work in determining the exact organisms that are responsible for each particular form of damage and the best method of combating same. Fumigation is one of the modern farmer's magic science wands by which, in a A trice, he clears his crops of insect life that if not held eradicated would probably destroy his entire crop. In California immense balloonlike arrangements of canvas are used in fumigating fruit trees, and now a Texas inventor proposes to modify the plan, with the idea of making it available for smaller crops, such as cotton and corn. The appliance consists of a supporting truck for movement over the ground, generally by the use of horses, a combustion chamber for the formation of the fumes, or gases employed as fumigant, and a framework, adjustable as to heights, and a hood covering the whole. At the rear a deflector curtain is provided, with a depending shield extending across the combustion chamber to deflect the fumes and force them into contact with the plants. With an apparatus of this general type it is possible to effectively and rapidly treat large numbers of plants, the deflector or hood extending over two full rows of plants. —Sacramento Bee. How Are the Teeth? Many farmers make the mistake of feeding stock food or other similar mixtures to horses when they seem to have difficulty in eating, when what the animal needs is to have his teeth cared for by a competent veterinarian. A horse whose teeth are out of order, bolts much of its food because it cannot masticate it, hence the food taken does little or no good and the animal loses both flesh and energy. If the horse is trying to eat and is not keeping up its vigor better look to its teeth, for in nine cases out of ten here is where the trouble lies. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

They are very small optics, to be sure (only one millimeter in diameter), but in the matter of reflection and refraction do not differ from the normal eyes in larger animals. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

Hiram sat down at his desk and took out his pocket-handkerchief. It was tied tightly in a knot. "Now," he exclaimed, "what was that for? Oh, yes! Marty told me to get my shoes soled." With an air of resignation to the whims of womanhood he put on his hat, closed his desk, and went out to the "soiled-while-you-wait" cobblers. He went in and sat down, took off his shoes, and settled back in a chair to read his newspaper. "What is it, Mr. Bobbs?" inquired the cobbler. "What? Oh, er—er—er—why—oh, yes! I want my shoes soled." "Pardon me, sir," said the cobbler, "but I finished soiling them only half an hour ago. They can't be worn out ret. sir."

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constituting a named condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Aunt Panthea Brooks lived in a little New Hampshire village very many years without quarrelling with any one, and was so thoroughly liked by every one for miles round that her popularity excited the interest of a summer visitor. "Aunt Panthea," he asked, "how is it that you keep on such good terms with every one, while they are all quarrelling among themselves."

"I'm glad you think so, Jaso,' I say, smiling at him. "Next minute up comes Ezry Dracut. "Well now, Panthea,' he says, 'how porely you are looking this year." "My land, Ezry," I say, "how quick you are to notice those things!" "So it is with everything. Those who like to think one way, I let 'em think it, and those who like to think the other.

"Here you Americans," he said, "found me a bigamist in an hour and it has taken you three years to find that you can't find whether one of your Senators is a bigamist or not." Then he absorbed such solace as there was in a gallon of tea.—Philadelphia Ledger. Into Blood, Brawn, Brain and Bone.
