never saw a man under the influ-

a good business.
Grain is yielding well. Fruit has
been passing through town to the
Salem evaporator,
Lee Brown 4 Co. have been busy
repairing the tlUme, re-setting the
wheel and getting ready to resume

The prosecution of the o. p. rail-

because the work had been COM
pleted to near this place. A con
tinuation will help business.
At Mill city, the new health and

company are to begin work soon.
As soon as trains run to this place
of grand scenery, pure air, spring
water game, fish and McFerron

and recuperntion will be found there.
\ pressing need is a public wagon
bridge across the Santiam to con-
meet Marion and Linn counties.
The residents of the latter county
are petidoning their authorities for
the boon. And Stayton, Amsville,
Silverton, Turner Mehama and all

pealing 10 our commissioners to join
our neighbors in bridging the river.

TIE WINE TRUST.

The Lords law of giving upon
conditions, applies to health. We
should live by hygienic rules. There
must be proper nutrition. There
must also be periods of rest. The
constantly bent bow will lose its
elasticity. Stimulants must be
avoided. Their action is abnormal.
They goad the nerves beyond their
natural strength; and, by so much,
impair their vigor. Working on
stimulants is doing business on bor-
rowed capital, and Nature eXacts
compound interest. Extraordin-
aries excepted, if we live by the
laws of health, we may, with Gods
blessing, be constantly and glorious

Men, while blowing, wear circlets OF
iron on their heads, on which are

they carry lighted pieces of it in their

Mules and cattle are picketed at

A Point Of Etiquette.

The point of etiquette" in regard
to not sealing letters sent by the
hand of a friend, is to be considered,
undoubtedly, as settled by the usage
of polite society, And yet there are
two sides to the question. To in
trust TO a friend an unsealed letter
to a third person is a compliment to a
friend; but why should it be thought
necessarily uncomplimentary if the
letter be sealed? On the other hand,
the sealing of a letter may be deemed
always advisable, for one good
reason at least. The contents of an
unseGled letter are never safe. They
are safe so far as the honorable
friend is concerned, but not safe in
any other sense. They may be lost
from the envelope easily and inno-
Gently. They may be distracted and
read by the servant to whom the note
is delivered at the door, or by any
prying individual who may find the
missive lying ON the hall table await
ing the owners arrival. Especially
unsafe it is to place an unsealed pack
age articles of money value. Would,
any sane man send q $50 bill in an
unsealed envelope by the hand of a
friend or anybody whomsoever? The
friend himself if he knew the nature
of the Enclosure, would be very apt
to protest against this sacrifice of
common sense at the shrine IF Ell

The New York Times says: Judge
Alton B, Parker, of Kingston, who is
holding part II of the Supreme
Court, special term, this week, tried
q suit between an ex-Shakeress and
the United Brotherhood of Shakers.
The Plaintiff is neither fat nor fair,
but she is forty. She testified that
she entered what she called the North
Brotherhood ofShakers, at Lebanon,
N. Y, in 1862, when she was sixteen
years old, and staid with them until
1882. She told q melancholy tale OF
hard work and self-denial. She said
that they made a perfect drudge of
her and vexed her mind even more
than her body by telling her that
she would go to hell if she had REBEL
ious thoughts. 81 had them every
day for all that" she said, sand then
/ would be frightned almost to death

to recover 81 900, which her father

pursuance with the terms of a cove
nant which she signed when she Joined

Not A Mortal Stirred!

Those who think to gain their de-
sires by command or force seldom
meet with such success as others who
use tact and skilful strategy. The
Detroit Free Press tells story of a
good minister who used the latter
weapon to some purpose:
Some years ago the pastor of a
church in a rural district Of Missouri
shepherded a flock, some members of
which were in the habit of leaving
the house while he was yet in the
middle of a discourse. This was an
eyesore to the visiting incumbent,
and when one day a reverend brother
volunteered to reach for him, he felt
called upon to speak of the annoy
ance.
ooh, I'll stop that" was the reply.
''I'll warrant you that no one leaves
until Pm done" Accordingly, when
he arose to speak, he introduced his
sermon with the following,
"My friends, before begin my SER
man, wish to make few not ir-
relevant remarks. You all know
that a vessel when full is full, and
that to continue to pour into it is
folly. Some vessels are capable of
holding a great deal, while Others,
again, are easily filed. So it is with
mems heads, and it is possible some
of yours may become full before Pm
through. Ifso, l want you to feel at
perfect liberty to leave"
The sermon lasted an hour and a
quarter, but not a mortal stirred.
"Do you know" said young man
afterwards, 81 had q team of restless
young horses outside, but / wouldn't
have gone out to look after them for

wea ring Teeth a. Charms.

Among the cranky" ideas adopted
by girls is the practice of preserving
their extracted teeth and wearing them
as jewelry charms, and it is one of the
nonsensical fads of the day. ''Do many
of our patients carry away their teeth
after we have extracted them? Well, T
should say they did," replied a West
Thirty Fourth street dentist to a New
York Telegram reporter recently.
Nine out of ten of our patients, espe-
oially young girls and women, ask MS to
wrap up their extracted molars to carry
home. I know pretty girl who had a
tooth extracted eight years ago, when
she was child, which she has carried
as charm ever since. She wears it
day and night. Quite a number Of
people have little cases made about the
size of thimble, in which they carry
their extracted teeth after they have
been polished and tipped with gold.
Another lady has bracelet made of her
upper teeth. They are set in diamonds
and look UNIQUE as teeth iewelry."

The Treatment Of Wine.

There is probably no greater de-
fusion in the modern gastronomic
art than the notion that age enriches
wine illimitably. If a three or five
year wine is better than the crude
juice, the process must go on forever,
and the wine of 500 years must be
the veritable nectar of the gods. 1t
is a myth of the poets. Wine is an
organic product, and to everything
organic there is the immutable law
OF growth and decay, life and death.
There is no exemption. Dosing with
foreign substances, fertilization with
brandies and alcohol, care of tenn
perature and other devices may
stave off the fatal decline, but for
only q little.-Home Journal.

Counterfsiters at Sea.

The Rapple says that the gang
which has lately issued false French
bank notes is composed of wealthy
Russians and Austrians. They poss-
ess ships and crews and all the neces-
sary apparatus. The notes are en-
graved at sea, and the plates are
thrown overheard into the water.
The ships put into ports where ac-
complies receive the notes, scatter
them, and give back those unused.
Then the whole establishment travels
