NOTES FROM LEWIS RIVER VALLEY
Scott Bozarth, residing at Astoria, is now
up visiting his friends. He will return in
time for the fall term of school, which be-
gins in September. Miss Emma VanBebber
having been employed in teaching school
near La Center during the summer, closed
her school one day last week, and is now at
her home Mr.. John S. Bozarth, who had
his leg broken on the 9TH of June by kick
from a horse, has regained his feet by the
assistance of crutches, after being confined
to his bed for sixty-tive days. Messrs Ken

The house is to be completed by the first of
October. School will commence immedi-
ately after if suitable teacher can be en-
ployed. A protracted meeting will be held
in the new school house, commencing on
Saturday, the 18th of November. The
minister in charge will be Rev. j. II. Wat
son, the y. f. A concert was given by the
Hutchinson family on the evening of the 9th
inst, in the Grange hall. The steamer
Lotona came from La Center, bringing quite
a number of persons. All seemed to be
well pleased with the proceedings. A great
deal of sashng has been done in the valley
during the slashing season. This portion of
the valley consists of ash, alder, maple and
willow. The stumps are generally cut close,

ing is being pushed forward as rapidly as
the grain will admit Certain localities
sowing. The harvest throughout the valley
was probably never better. Oats will yield
20 or so bushels to the acre, and wheat in
proportion. Mr.. 5. j. Bozarth has oats on
his farm that measures six feet one inch in
height, the heads being % inches in length
The tame hay crop is beyond the average of
previous years, both in quality and guam
tty, while the wild hay will be below, on
account of the unusual lateness of the high
water. The potato crop will not be as good
as was anticipated; last year where a good
crop was produced this year will not yield
pound-to the hill; other localities seem to
be equally as good. The fruit crop will be
very light. PicKwIcK.

Nearly Buried Alive.

THE heroine of the following remark
able stOry-but which comes on unim-
peachable authority as perfectly true
was young lady of thirteen or fourteen
years. After a somewhat protracted
illness, she, to all appearance, died.
The mother literally refused to believe
it, although the doctors and the other
inmates of the house saw no reason to
doubt the fact.
The funeral was arranged, the grave
made, and the specified three days had
come to an end. The mother had never
left her daughters body; she had
tried every available means to restore
her, but to no avail. As the hour ap-
preached for the ceremony to take
place, she became more and more dis
tracted, and more desperate in her
efforts to convince herself that life still
fingered.
As last resort she went for some
strong elixir, and taking out of her
pocket fruit knife with two blades,
one blade of gold, the other of silver
proceeded by continual working to
force the gold blade between the teeth;
when inserted she poured drop of the
elixir on the blade, then another and
another, and tried to make it enter the
mouth; but it seemed only to trickle
back again and down the chin. Still
she perseVered, becoming more desper-
ate as the moments flew on to the hour,
now so near. when her child was to be
taken from her.
At the very last, when she was be-
ginning to dread the very worst, she
Thought she detected a slight spasm in
the throat, and on close examination
she became aware that the liquid was
no longer returning, as it did at first.
She continued the application, every
moment feeling more excited and more
joyfully hopeful. Presently the action
of swallowing became more decided.
She felt feeble futter at the heart,
and before long the eyes gradually
opened, and closed again; hut the
breathing became quietly regular, and
the mother was satisfied that now no
one would dispute the fact; so she
called her household round her and
proved to them the joyful fact that her
child was restored to her, and that no
funeral procession would leave the
house that day. Before long the child
fully recovered. The fruit knife, with
its two blades, is to this day the most
precious heirloom in the family posses

An Ineurable Habit.

BOSTON has introduced a novelty
which will fill want long felt. In
several depots in that city they have a
baggage mistress, if such a term is
proper. 1t has been discovered that
trunk crushed to earth will rise again
in the shape of suit. Several trunks
that have gone through baggage
masters cyclone have turned on the
companies and exacted damages. This
is the secret of the Introduction of
women as baggage walters. Expert
ment has shown that it is impossible to
reform confirmed baggage-smasher.
He may swear off for few weeks, or
months even, but he is sure to return to
the vice worse than ever. He might be
cured, perhaps, if he were kept away
from the trunks and allowed to sober
off, as it were, on heavy freight; but
the sight of a pile of trunks sets him
wild, and in spite of the efforts of his
friends he sinks in a few hours to the
lowest depths of baggage-smashing.
Of course it is easy for person, who
don't know what he is talking about, TO
say that man with any strength of
mind could quit the vile habit. Few of
us know the hilarious delight that
thrills through a baggage-smasher's
frame as he grasps the handle of nice
trunk that has never Travelled before,
whilst in the air, shouts Chicago,
3478," and lets the trunk come down
on its corner, knocking it into the
shape of breathless ACCORDION. Bag
gage-smashers have been known to
quit the business, hoping to reform;
and yet, before a week was over, they
would steal sheepishly into a trunk
store and order half dozen delivered
in the back yard after dark. 1t is
needless to add that the night would
be spent in wild revelry of flying
trunks. The air of the room would be
filled with aerial baggage enough to
knock a sober man down on entering
the room. 1.-The old mans trunk
again" Thus it is that women are to
be the baggage jerkers of the future,
as it is expected they will handle the
trunks with care, either in the presence
or the absence cf the passenjaire.-

less beauty, to whom I was presented

pearance was so pathetic that 1t made
the tears spring TO my eyes. She was
attired in a style which we ladies IN

Life Insurance fer IuvaIlds.


A WRITER in the Portland (Me.) Press
proposes a new plan of life insurance
a company in which only invalids and
weaklings shall be insured. He says:
The robust man shall be 81 anned-
for he is q deception and a Share. You
cannot count on him. He is always
sure to die when death is least ex-
pected. He has been the utter ruin of
many strong companies, and the cause
of embarrassment and impoYerishment
to many others. Just when you are
counting on his premium for diVi-
dend he drops off, and you have pol
icy to paw. The invalid, on the other
hand, is tOlerably certain to live to
good old age. The sickly youth who
promises to die before he is thirty, oft
en- lives to be ninety, and sometimes
reaches par-and IS then redeemed, let
US hope. OF course there are excep-
tions. Once in a while a vigorous
young man lives to be old. Occasion
ally an invalid who is very, very good,
dies young. But in general the weak
ling outlives the other. The trouble
with our life-insurauce system, as now
conducted, is that its managers Obsti-
nately work on the assumption that
healthy man ought to live longer than
a weakly one. Perhaps he ought, but
he doesn't. The facts are against
them. Still they go on in the old way,
obstinately clinging to their unfortu-
nate theory. They are unable to see
what enterprising men in other branch
es of business have long seen, that
the invalid, if well worked, is a man
of wealth. Look at the army of doc
tors be supports. Look at the great
drug shops he has built. See the for
tunes he has made for the owners of
patent medicines. What help he is to
the fruit trade, and to the people who
put up jellies and other delieacies for
the sick The only man he does not
assist is the undertaken. That worthy
loses great sums in interest while wait
ing for him, and sometimes goes into
bankruptcy with large stock, shop
worn and out of style, on hand. In
face of all these facts the actuaries go
On III their laundering way, insuring
the strong and refusing the weakly.
They do not perceive that the robust
man has his head turned by the posses
sion of a great capital of health and
goes and squanders il. He does not
appreciate its worth. II came to him
without effort on his part; perhaps he
inherited it, and he regards it Lightly
lightly come, lightly gone. The invalid
guards his little store, husbands what
strength he has, lives frugally on his
narrow income of health, and takes
good care not to touch the principal.
Sometimes he does not use all the in
come, but puts by little year by year,
a surplus stock of vitality,
and when cid has substantial capital
of health to live upon. Here's to the
invalid! May he live long and pros

An UnIueky English Regiment.

THE recent fate of the Twenty-fourth
Regiment of the British line in Zulu
land is peculiarly melancholy. The
regiment is nearly 200 years old, hav-
ing been originally embodied by Will
lam of Orange in 1891, for service in
the Flemish War and the Netherlands.
Its records show tour of service un-
surpassed by any other regiment of the
British Army for variety and hard
knocks, and it has always been un-
lucky. Its first experience was dis
aster, being almost annihilated at the
Battle of Steenkirke when it was hardly
two years old. Subsequently it suffered
out of all proportion to its comrades at
Blenheim, Families and Malplaquet,
and was finally relieved and sent home
in the latter part of Queen Anne's
War, in consequence of the impossible
ity of keeping its ranks recruited. For
ty years afterward it had an almost
similar experience on the same ground,
in the War of the Succession, and still
later, in the eighteenth century, it suf-
fered immense losses, and was at last
captured bodily in the American Revo-
luton. Returning to England, it en-
joyed only few years of rest when it
was sent to Egypt, and participated in
Sir Ralph Abercrombie's operations,
where its bad luck did not desert it.
Thence the regiment went to the PENN
sular, where it campaigned five years,
suffering, as usual, beyond all proper
ton. 1t was foremost at the storming
of Cuidad Rodrigo and ST. Sebastian;
in the defiles of the Pyrenees; in the
forcing of the passage of the Bidassoa
and the Nine, and in the Battles of
Nivelle, Orthes and Toulouse. It es-
capped Waterloo only by coming to
America, after the first abdication of
Napoleon, and participating in the i'll
starred operations which terminated
the War of 1912 in humiliation to the
arms of England. Then it was sent to
India, where it had a hard round of
service under Combermere Hardinge
and Napier, suffering, as usual, ex-
cessively in the first Sikh War. 1t was
no novice at the Cape, either, for it
had already borne the brunt of two
Kafir wars, and had done as much to
establish British rule in that quarter as
any other regiment that ever served
there. In short, England has had only
one great war in nearly 200 years in
which the old Twenty-fourth has not
borne hand. That one was the Cri-
mean War, which it escaped chiefly on
account of the sympathy at the Horse
Guards for its unlucky traditions, and,
though it was on the roster for foreign
service when the Crimean was made
up, another regiment was detailed to
take its place, and it was sent to one
Of the Colonies. Finally, after nearly
200 years of slaughter in every cline,
and in battle against every enemy of
England, civilized and barbarous, the
Twenty-fourth has been annihilated by
savages in South Africa. Washington

English Names.

IT Is only after the Norman Conquest
that the names which we now regard
as distinctively English first made their
appearance And, when we come to
examine their forms. we find apparent
lv curious contradiction. The En-
glish, rs we have been told so often of
late years, are a Low Dutch Nation;
but these sO-called English names,
John, Thomas, James, Henry, Richard.
Robert and William, are all of them
either Scriptural or else High German
in origin.
How can we account for this pecul-
iarityP Not only were the English
themselves a Low Dutch race, but the
NOrmans who introduced these names
amOug them were of Scandinavian de-
scent, and therefore even lower leu
tons, so to speak, than the Englisl
themselves. The answer to the puzzle
is To be found in universal tendency
of mankind everywhere to choose for
themselves or their children what seen
10 them fine or fashionable names. Ac
cordingly, wherever Royal family be-
