THE WEST SIDE.

/ A trip over the west side of eur
county is delightful at this season Of
the year, Notwithstanding the excessive
heat. The different valleys from Hub
bard Creek to Cow Creek have donned
their gayest dresses, the grass and
grain are green and crops look well;
the stock is fat and the farmers are
contented. The west side is not well
knswn to the people of the rest of the
county. The precincts of Coles Valley,
Locking Glass, Ten Mile, Olalls, Cana.
Valley and Cleveland are familiar
names a. the county conventions and
the delegates who represent them are
much patronized by the candidates and
their friends, but the topography Of
country and the nature of the soil are
not 80 well known. The original set
tiers selected their homes on the prairie
land on the river and creek bottoms
where the soil was rich and easy of
cultivation, where it is only necessary
to build house and the requisite
fencing to make farm These favored
spots are surrounded or divided by
rolling hills of greater or less altitude.
| covered with oak and fir timber, which
have hitherto been devoted to sheep
and cattle raising or left severely alone.
A large portion Of these hills ale capable
OF producing grain and when population
increases will be devo. ed to that pur-
pose. The county is bounded on the
west by the Coast Range mountains
with the exception of Camas valley,
which is situated on the head waters of
the middle fork of the Coquille river.
1t is reached by the lowest pass in the
range, through which the settlers have
built an excellent wagon read. 1t is
one of the most picturesque and fertile
of the whole west side 1t is well wa
tered, while the sea breeze of which it
it has the benefit not only prevents ex
cesslvc dreuth but makes the climate
delightful in summer. Hitherto the
only means Of travel down the Middle |
Fork was by pack trail which was
not ef the best, but the citizens assisted
by Coos county are now building a i
wagon road which will soon be conl-
pleted, when access to the Ocean will
be easier than 10 Reseburg The west
side has been sadly neglected by TIE
county il the matter of public improve
aents. While it contains one third of
the population snd pays nearly one
third of the taxes Of the county, it has
been compelled to build its own roads
and bridge It's many streams at its swn
expense, the only aid it has ever re-
ceived from the county being sew
entY-five dollars towards the repair of
the bridge near the mouth CT Locking
Glass. Owing to this neglect, the
question Of annexation to Co.'s county
has been seriously discussed. The
west side now rightfully demand that
the county bridge the south Umpqua
at Reseburg. If it is to remain g part
OF Douglas county it certainly ought to
have some means of communication
with it.

The Queen to Abdioate.

A Worlds Washington special says:
GA representative of one of the prom
lnsnt European powers says that very
serious event is impending In England,
which is the abdication of the Queen.
The reasons given for this unexpected
course are her majesty's fast failing
health and the increasing unwillingness,
and sometimes inability, on her part to
perform the duties incident to govern
ment. For some years the Queen has
been q mild believer in spiritualism
She thought the spirit Of her dead hus-
band assisted her in working out ques-
tions which perplexed her and some
times annoyed her. Since the death Of
her faverite servant, John Brown, she
has been very much depressed, and
finally it was necessary to remove her
to Balmoral, where some Of her happiest
days were spent with the lover and
husband of her youth" Z.
81 am told that some very pathetic
scenes took place at her last visit there.
She seemed to feel the actual presence
OF the dead, and talked as if they were
by her side. This and other occur
rences frightened and alarmed her
daughter Beatrice very much, and she
insisted that other members of the fam
lily should come down ut once. The
life Of the Princess Beatrice must be
something dreary beyond words"

Mistakes of Life.

Somebody has condensed the
mistakes of his life and arrived at
the conclusion that there are four
teen of them. Most people would
say, if they told the truth, that there
was no limit to the mistakes of life
that they were like the drops i'll the
ocean or the sands of the shore in
number. But it is well to be ac-
curate. Here, then, are the four
teen great mistakes:
1t is a great mistake to set up
our own standard of right and
wrong, and judge people according
ly; to measure the enjoyment OF
others by our own; to expect uni
formity of opinion in the world; to
look for judgment and experience
in youth; to endeavor to mould all
dispositions alike; not to yield to
imm aterial trifes; to look for pro
lection in our actions; to worry
ourselves and others with what can
not be remedied; not to alleviate all
that needs alienation, as far as lies
in our power; not TO make allow
ances for the infirmities of others;
to consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform; to believe
nothing but what our finite minds
can grasp; to expect to be able to
understand everything. The great
est mistake is to live only for time,
which may launch us into eternity.

Reserved Power a Necessity.

1t is not wise to work constantly
up to the highest rate of which we
are capable. If the engineer of the
railroad were to keep the speed of
his train up to the highest rate he
could attain with his engine, it
would soon be used up. If a horse
is driven at the top of his speed for
any length of time, he is ruined. 1t
is we'll to try the power, occasional
ly, of horse or engine, by putting
on all the motion they will bear, but
not continually. All machinists
construct their machines so that
there will be a reserve force. If
the power required is four horse,
then they make a six horse power.
In this case it works easily and
lasts long. A man who has strength
enough to do twelve honest hours
of labor in twenty-four, and no
more, should do but nine or ten
hours work.
The reserve power keeps the
body in repair. 1t rounds out the
frame to full proportions. 1t keeps
the mind cheerful, hopeful, happy.
The person with no reserve force is
always incapable of taking on any
more responsibility than he already
has. A little exertion puts him
out of breath. He cannot increase
his work for an hour without dan
ger ofexplosion. Such are general
ly pale, dyspeptic, bloodless, ner-
vous, irritable, respondent, gloomy.
We all pity them. The great source
of power in the individual is the
blood. It runs the machinery of
life, and upon it dspends our health
and strength.
A mill on q stream where water
is scanty can be worked but a por-
tion of the time. So a man with
little good blood can do but little
work. The reserve power must be
up in this fluid. When the reserve
power of an individual runs low,
it is an Indication that q change is
necessary. and that it is best to
stop expending and go to accumu-
lating, just as the miller does when
water gets low in the pond. Such
course would save many person
from physical bankruptcy.-Herald

What Shall the Boys Do?

Parents are continually con
fronted with this question Many
parents answer it wrongly. The
father desires that his sons shall
not undergo the toll and self-denial
that he has undergone, forgetting,
or perhaps not realizing in any
proper sense, that it was that toll
and that self-denial that made him
the man he is. The mother has her
foolish notions about the respect
ability of certain grades of employ
ment which enable those following
to wear good clothes and exhibit a
few of the superficial evidences of
refinement and culture. The boy
with his inexperience and inability
to look below the surface Of things,
is easily led to follow the well-in-
tended but foolish judgement of his
parents and commences life by
swelling the list of book keepers
without a ledger, doctors without
patients, lawyers without clients
and genteel clerks without employ
ment.
The first thing the parent or
teacher should do is to study care
fully the boys aptitudes. Having
done this he should be taught that
any kind of labor is honorable, and
that what he could do best should
be his calling, no matter whether it
is to make shoes or carriages, to
raise cattle or butcher them. =
Many a boy who might in time be-
come a good farmer, owning a farm
and home Of his own, becomes an
Indifferent hand-to-mouth salesman
in a store at a sala-y that will only
barely keep soul and body together
and provide no accumulation for
sickness or old age. Many boy,
who, by learning the machinist's
trade, could some day be at the
head of a great mandatory, re
mains in obscurity and poverty be
cause his parents thought the pro-
fession of book-keeper would be
more genteel.
A little study of the advertising
columns in a great daily journal, or
oA VI NAN OoSA
ness men of any thriving town,
would cause arevelation that should
serve to deter parents from making
semi-dudes of their sons by crowd
ing the already overcrowded posi-
toins ofclerks and book keepers with
them. In the city of New York
there are at the present time 5000
book-keepers out of employment,
and of the $4,000 who have more
or less steady employment in that
calling in that city very few receive
over $25 per week, while a far
greater number are glad to receive
$40 or SIS. A business mon of the
city lately advertised for a clerk at
$40 a week and had 700 applica-
tions for the place. In view of
these facts the parents of boys
urge them to learn trades, to go in
to the shops or on the farm, any
where honest work is to be done,
and to avoid as they would the
pestilence the semi genteel callings,
which are so overcrowded that the
who are dependent on
them have no hope of more than the
barest subsistence while they re-
main in nthem.-Philadelphia Times.

Apples are among the most nour-
ishing and healthful of all vegeta-
BILE foods. Besides containing q
large amount of sugar and other
carbo -hydrates, they contain vege-
table acids and certain arom attic
qualities which act powerfully in
the capacity of tonics, antiseptics
and refrigerants or coolin foods.
When mellow they prevent debility
and indigestion. They are no
doubt very serviceable in averting
many ills. The operatives of Corn
wall, England, are said to consider
ripe apples nearly as nourishing as
bread, and much more so than po-
tatoes. During the scarcity of food
in some years, apples have been
largely used as a regular diet,
and workmen endured their toll
easily on baked apples alone;
where a potato diet required to be
supplemented by meat or other
food. All Europesn people, and es-
pecially the French and Germans;
use apples extensively. There is
no fruit that can be cooked and
prepared in so many different ways
as apples, nor is there any fruit
whose value as an article of nour-
ishment is so great and yet so little
appreciated.
