One is
Always look at the person you speak to-
When you are addressed, look straight At
the person who speaks to you. Do not
forget this.
Another is
Speak your words plainly. Do not NUT

A third is

How to Trent Yellow Fever.

The following mode Of treating yellow
fever is furnished to the Associated Press
agent by physician OF considerable rep
utation and large practice in st. Louis:
Put the patient on a cool, hard bed, in a
well-lighted and well-yentilated room;
keep the head constantly cool by repeated
sponging with water from forty to fifty
degrees Fahrenheit; keep the feet con-
stantly warm by bottles Of hot water; as
soon as nausea begins, relieve itby copious
draughts OF hot water; this must be re-
peated whenever the nausea is distressing;
q thick towel, foldedand wet in cold water
and laid across the stomach, will also give
relief; eyacuate the bowels by full in
jections daily OF tepid water until
the fever abates, using fountain
syringe whenever one can be OBJ
tanned; loose crash towel should be
doubled, wet in tepid water, and worn
over the bowels constantly until the pa
tent is conTalescent; cool down the body
10 as near the normal heat as possible by
repeated spongings with tepid ater;when
the fever is highest apply the pour bathto
the head as follows: Place the patient
across the bed, his head over the head Of
1t, face down, put q tub beneath and pour
cold water, say forty degrees Fahrenheit,
over the top OF the head from the crown
forward, continue this from twenty to
thirty minutes, or until the temperatures
lowered; give this bath two or three
times day, or as often as the fever
requires; rs soon as the fever abates
and the crisis is over, stop all he
roic treatment and let the patient rest;
give no medicine or stimulants OF any
kind, and no drinks except water or some
lemonade without sugar. The patient
should eat nothing during the fever except
thin water cruel made with cornmeal
and q little salt; lemon juice in water
without sugar should be used freely during
the fever. Afterthe patient is GONZALES
cent he must eat sparingly OF the plainest
food, ~. q little bread and fruit. This
treatment can DO carried out by any one
without the aid OF a doctor, and in this re.
gard is specially adapted to poor people
who have not the means to employ medi-
cal aid, and for their particular benefit 1t

Chicago Tribune, Newport Letter.
The pavilion was empty save for these

to be SO placed that the treacherous ocean
breeze waited to her the following con-

can be so foolish. Why, how do you expect

The ARRAY at Dayton.

The land jumping and shooting affray
at Dayton, was more serious than was
first reported to US. Mr.. Sparks receiv-
ed two balls about the head, and a Mr..
Wright instead of Stewart, was shot in
the leg so as to require amputation. The
affair is represented as not yet ended,
and as involving many settlers. The
account in the Ne,os would show that
the authority of the Sheriff to queil the
row was set at defiance and he was
seriously threatened. We hope there
has been enough blood letting to cool
off the heated brains of our Dayton peo-
pie.

LETTER FROM LEWISTON.
LEWISTON, April 2nd, 1878.

LEW 1oAON, ApIu -uu, 1910.
Mr.. EDIToR:-If one is to take the
Walla Walla papers as good authority,
the people of that section are generally
opposed to State government. This
seems strange after having by so large
majority voted for a constitutional
convention. Of course we in Idaho
cannot dictate to the people of Wall.
Walla iu this matter, but from our
stand point we can not see the force of
any objections they can urge to State
government. The animus which these
papers exhibit seems not SO much direc-
ted towards the State government itself
as towards the manner of choosing the
delegates to the convention for framing
the constitution, and they seem to be
about as much distracted on the oues-
tion of the partizan character of the
delegates as are the people of Portland
on the question Of railroads. To US
now in Idaho this seems puerile unless
its object be to distract the people for
the purpose of disgusting them and de.
terriug them from taking any interest
at all on DC question Of State govern.
ment. These papers seem to ridicule
every expression that appears in the
Sound papers urging the election Of
delegates. Now, for my part 1 cannot
see the propriety of thus treating tie
overtures made by the Sound people
when they assented to holding the &C
yention East of the Cascades and espe-
tally at Walla Walla, and then further
made provisions to allow North Idaho
to be represented in the convention with
the view of her becoming part of thu
new State. This last is adding to tn.
strength of Eastern Washington to tho
detriment Of the Sound country, and
Walla Walla ought not to be dispeasedi
with this advantage. But Mr.. Editor
| am some what of your opinion that is,
that these Walla Walla editors are
secretly and quietly working on their
old hobby, to slough Of Walla Walla and
Columbia counties to Oregon, and in
this lies the milk in the cocoanut.

Fencing Material.

Much solicitude is apparent among
those who have made locations Of land
remote from timber for fencing, about
the cheapest material to be used in en-
closing land and making it secure
against horses aud cattle. Our laws do
not require that we fence against hogs
or sheep. On. Kelly who is enclosing
half section Of land Southeast oftown, is
making the experiment of using the
barbed wire fence, coupled with rails.
TO this end he sets cedar posts 10 feet
apart, spikes upon these one rail for
every 10 feet, about 2 feet above the
ground and stretches one strand of the
barbed wire about Is inches above this
rail, making his fence 81 feet high
above ground. This he claims will be
sufficient to keep out both horses and
eattle. The rail is placed at the bottom
to prevent stock rubbing themselves
upon it, while the barbed wire will be
sire to be avoided by stock for rubbing
Purposes after they have once tried it.
tie claims that the cost of the posts and
rails Of cedar constructed upon the
g:ound, will be about 35 cents per rod,
o. about $1,000 per mile, while the
barbed wire per mile can be laid upon
the ground for about $500, SO that
the whole cost of the fence will
be less than $4,000 per mile. So that
$4,000 will enclose square quarter
section, or 100000 half section in an
oblong form. IF a party desires two
strands Of wire instead of one he will
have to add another $500 per mile, or
if re prefers to add another rail, making
his fence consist Of rails and one strand
of wire, be will have to add about $67 co
per mile to the first. This he considers
to be much more substantial fence
than one constructed Of lumber, and
more durable. The barbed wire has
never been used in this section. Mr..
Kelly shipped the frs: wire for use. IF
ut proves what is claimed for it. the
prospect is that it will be extensively
used where timber for rails is scarce. so
ong as lumber commands the present
prices. To construct of 6 inch lumbep
With three boards to each length, would
require $3.50 feet of boards to the mile
which at $500 per thousand would be
S2l4.O0 per mile. Then there would
have to be added the cost of pos. for
every 8 feet, besides the cost of nails
and work in the construction, and the
hauling Of the lumber upon the ground.
If the wire will meet the wants in a
fence, it will be the cheapest. Let it be
tested.
