FACTS ABOUT UMBRELLAS.

Antiquarians say that the umbrella was in
vented shortly after the flood, and has been the
least improved upon of all appliances for human
comfort, the shape being now as it was in those
youthful days of the world. An umbrella is
much like pigeon to the question of posses
slon-the last one who gets it owns it. The fol-
lowing facts about mbrellas-eSpecially the last
one--may serve every reader splendid purpose
sooner or later: To place your umbrella in rack
indicates that it is about to change owners An
umbrella carried over woman, the man getting
nothing but drippings of the rain, indicates court
ship. When the man has the umbrella and the
woman the drippingS, it indicates marriage. To
carry it at right angles under your arm signifies
that an eye is TO be lost by the man who follows
you. Toput cotton UNI brella by the side ofanice
silk one signifies that exchange is no robbery"
To lend an umbrella signifies that 81 a fool"
To carry an umbrella just high enough to tear
out men eyes and knock off mems hats signifies
- am woman To go without an umbrella
in a rain-storm shows [ am sure of getting rheu-
matism, and will have to use ST. JACOBS OIL to
get we'll" To keep fine umbrella for your own
use and bottle of ST. JACOBS OIL always in the
house, in case of rheumatism or accident, would
signify that you are real philosopher.

Parable of the Tub.

Frank and Lut6tia had tub; but it
would not hold water, because the bot
tom was worm-eaten and unsound. So
they painted it all over with gay colors;
but still it would not hold water. be-
cause the bottom was worm eaten and
unsound. They took off the OLD hoops.
and replaced them with new hoops made
of the best timber; but still it would not
hold water, because the bottom was
worm-eaten and unsound. Next they
removed the wooden hoops and put in
their stead strong iron hoops, but still
1t would not hold water, because the
bottom was worm-eaten and unsound.
What shall Frank and Lutetia do with
their tub? They must get q new bot
tom, or ell their coopering will be lost
labor. The bottom of the tub repre-
sents chdracter-an unsound bottom,
corrupt character; sound bottom, a
sound character; that is, n character
which unites intelligence with rectitude;
or, righteous character guided by
intelligence. Such a character, pos
sessed by the bulk of the people, is the
indispensable condition of true national
prosperity. --Professor Barro,os.

a Deserted VILLAGE
Prom the Aspin (Col.) Times.

IL rum The Asp1n (Col.) Times.
Soon we reached the mushroom camp
OF Highland. 1t well deserves the name
applied to 1.-THE deserted village.
But one house is inhabited. The struc-
lures numbering hundreds, are falling
down and look distressed. Buildings
which once covered immense stocks of
merchandise are empty, and the doors
and windows are big yawning holes with
out glass or boards. The rude signs
" Store, " Assay Office" etc., swing IN a
crazy manner from the tops of doorways
and in front of topping buildings, and
old foundations overgrown with weeds
and partly buried in sand tell where
many mountain business house once
hopefully reared its form This village
has history. Its existence was due to
the cold Turk, who camped there in
the spring of 1880, and told of wealth
buried in the hills behind his cabin.
AS the season opened hundreds flocked
to the new camp, but when Aspin began
to produce fine mineral, the people of
Highland became Disguised and silently
departed.

THANKSGIVING,

Snlt nm oiows the wind through woods discrow1

As tnus the seasons III their round

he earth hath yielded up her fruits
To bless the sons of labor,
AND peace and plenty crown the lives
Or CHEEKY friend and neighbor.
In crowded towns, on prairies broad
In homes by lake and river,
len thousand grateful hearts unite
To bless the gracious Giver
Thanksgiving for the harvest full,
The orchards mellow treasures
The purple grapes, the golden corn,
and all the joys and Pleasures,
And bounties rich and manifold,
That make life worth the living:
FOR these alike the young and old
Join in glad Thanksgiving.
The kindly pair, whose weight of years
With frosty locks has crowned them.

with all their children round them,
The father giveth ferYent thanks
In simple speech and dction,
And stretches forth his aged hands
In holy benediction.

The annals of the fading past
And i'll again the measure

And all the days were golden.
Thanks to the Pilgrim Fathers, then,
Whose little goodly leaven
Works out, through all the buried years,
This antefeast of heaven:
AND to the Lord-whose gracious gifts
Make life well worth the living
Who dwells above, whose name is Love,

The Nashville American says that
wonderful wooden tunnels cover forty
miles of the Central Pacific Railway.
They are of two kinds, steep roofs and
fat roofs. They cost from 900 tos12, D.
900, and IN some places $50, 600 mile.
Fire precautions are very thorough. At
the summit is an engine and tank always
ready to food the ignited spot in an in
slant. Sometimes five feet of snow falls
upon them in day, and often thirty
feet lie on the ground at one time, and
in many places snow accumulates to the
depth of fifty feet above these great
wooden arches.

Mr.. rheumatism, bounced on me so suddenly.

send up his card, rushed in and grasped me by
the hand with such grip that in few hours
my hand and wrist were so badly swollen and
painful that | felt as though one of Mr.. Hatchs
coal teams had run over me. Mr.. rheumatism
has been a constant visitor of mine for several
years; he always swells and put on great many
airs, making himself at home, devourlng my sub
stance and leaving me poor in flesh and pocket.
Last winter he came and stayed two months.
then decided that the next time he came would
change his diet. ! was somewhat al a loss what
TO feed him with. but finally concluded TO give
him three square meals day of ST. JACOBS OIL
morning, noon and night. This fare he is dis
gusted with, and is packing up his trunk and will
leave by tomorrow or next day; says he cannot
stop any longer, he has pressing business else
where. He is a treaeherOus fellow. and he in
tends visiting some of our Salem friends; if he
does. just give him the same fare that | did and
he won't stop long. J. s. LEFAvoUR.
