dered 5000 reams of paper and two
millions of envelopes in which to place

LARGE PINE BoARp.-Captain John
Harlow has just returned from
months tramp among the pine for
ests of this State. The journey was
undertaken by the Captain a little
over four weeks ago, for the purpose
Of finding tree that board could be
cut from which would make a showing
for Oregon at the Centennial, Phila-
delphia, in 1876. After much labor
the Captain found tree on the banks
Of the Lower Columbia, on the Oregon
side, which measures one hundred
feet to point where it is ten feet IN
diameter. This tree is fourteen feet
at the base, from which board can
be made 100 feet long fourteen feet
wide at one end and ten at the other,
and eighteen inches thick. OF course,
no mill in the world can cut such a
board, and therefore the board will
have to be hewn out. The Captain
has spent over 800 in addition to his
time in hunting for this tree, and is
firmly convinced he has found some
thing which, if sent to the Centennial
4
Exhibition, will astonish the people
who will there gaze upon it.-io'7

4 FROZEN SH1P-A whaling vessel
which sailed from London in 1910,
found in the Polar sea a ship embed
ded in the ice, with sails furled, and
no signs Of life on board. The cap

into the cabin, and found coiled upon
the floor a large Newfoundland dog,
apparently asleep, but when they
touched it, they found the animal was
dead and frozen as hard as stone.
In the cabin was young lady seated
at table, her eyes open as if gazing
at the intruders of that desolate place.
She was a corpse! and had been fro
zen in an apparently resigned and re-
ligious attitude. Beside her was a
young man, who, it appeared, was the
commander of the brig, and brother
to the lady. He was sitting at the ta'
ble, dead, and before him was sheet
of paper on which was written, "oul
cook has endeavored since yesterday
morning to strike light, but in vair
all is now over" In another part
Of the cabin stood the cook with tho
flint and tinder in hand, frozen, in the
vain endeavor to strike the fire thai
could alone save them. The terrors
Of the seamcn led the captain from
the spot, who took with him the log
hook, as the solemn memento Of th'
ill-fated ship. It appeared that it al
so was from London, and had beer
frozen in this place over fourteen
years.

WONDERING what becomes OF all the
lead pencils is in order. In one week
of last month firm near New York
city received orders for four hundred red
and forty-fvc miles Of lead pencils.
To make these only $4,000 feet OF ce-
dar lumber are required, and after
they are made they will load six
freight cars. This immense n'a conssnmp, },
ton Of lead pencils is doubtless caused
by the attempts Of women to sharpen q
them with q pair Of scissors or 2 dull
case knife. Persons who have wit
messed these efforts need no longer
wonder at the demand. af.i' sna eebl'

that all the present races on the plan.

some curious facts that tend to con-

DRNTITIoN IN CHILDREN-lf the child |
is healthy and properly reared, denti-
ton should not cause much distur.|
bance to the system. If the child is
feeble and not rightly fed there may
be trouble and danger. It is very
fashionable to ascribe to teething|
nearly all the troubles that occur dur
ing it's. progress, but this must be re-
ceiyed with much allowance. The fol-
lowing is the order of the appearance
of the teeth: 'f9aa
From the fifth to the seventh month
the two lower front teeth. From the
ninth to the eleventh month the four
upper front teeth. From the thirteenth
to the fifteenth month two more lower
teeth, adjoining those which came first,
and the four first pre-molars. This
makes twelve in ALL From the six
teenth to the twentieth month the four
canine teeth. Those in the upper jaw
come first. From the twentieth to
the thirtieth month come the second
pre-molars. 81
In case of poorl y-',ourished children
the teeth do not appear as soon, or il
they do they are apt to be bad. The
second dentition begins about the sixth
year. The best treatment is good hy'
gienic care, rest, sleep, and caution
about the diet, and the avoidance ol
all excitement Herald cf Health.

MATT CARPENTER thinks Grant will
run for, a third term and be beaten.
4 d correspondent having asked the
Wisconsin Senator what he thought
of the third term business, received
the following reply:
"In my opinion Gen. Grant will be
the candidate Of the Republican party
for, third term. / can see no possi-
BILE way of avoiding it. He will un-
doubtedly be the candidate Of the Re-
publicans next year on a hard-moneyed
platform. This situation affords him
the exact pretext he wanted, and to
which he referred when he wrote his
third term letter as circumstances not
likely to occur l think Judge David
Davis of the United States Supreme
Court will be the Democratic candi-
date on greenback platform, and
that greenbacks will win" The arri-
val Of the train at Oshkosh interrupt
ed the conversation and prevented the
correspondent from pursuing his in
terrogatories, which thus far had
proved to him a political bonanza.
Enough was learned, however, to ena-
BILE him to state that Mr.. Carpenter
does not think that the professed oppo-
sition of the Republicans to third
term will have any weight in the Ma
tional Convention; that Grant will be
renominated and placed upon hard
money platform, and that the weight
of the platform will carry him and his
party down to sure destruction.

Col. ANTHONY, brother of Miss Su-
san B. Anthony and editor of the
Leavenworth Times, who was shot
more than two months ago, is yet in q
critical condition. The heavy pistol
ball passed through the collar bone
and in the direction of large artery.
The blood that flowed out was pro-
nounced arterial, aud for short time
he was supposed to be dead. His
heart was still for moment, and in
the short interval clet of blood was
formed in the mouth of the severed ar.
terry, remaining there thirty-six hours.
Then the clot gave way, and death
was expected; but the blood surged
into the surrounding parts without
bursting the tissues, forming sac,
called by surgeons an aneurism. At
every beat of the heart the blood rush
ed in the sac, threatening rupture.
The wound otherwise healed, leaving
the difficult, often impossible, task of
curing the aneurism. The method
adopted was compression, and now the
sac is very small, with new clot
forming in the mouth of the artery.
He is kept ON a low diet, and not al.
lowed to move much, and six weeks
more will elapse before recovery is
possible.
