invaluable to all who wish TO understand
the subject.

THE CAPITAL CITY.

Salem, the capital of this state, is
to have street railway. Articles
or incorporation have been filed, a
company formed and contracts for
work will be let immediately.-COr-
wallis Gazette.
IT SHALL COME To PASS.
If the coast road from Astoria
should pass through Polk county
to Salem it would benefit that county
much, but what they need and
must have is near seaport con-
nection, putting San Francisco as
near to her doors as possible, says a
Polk county exchange.
A CENTER OF ATTRACTION.
Salem has now become a center
Of attraction for eastern people. By
advertising and otherwise it's ener-
getic business men have gained the
attention of hundreds of people who
had perhaps already determined to
come west; and it may be that
single leaflet or paper may send
them in this special direction. They
are arriving daily, and as soon as
they get their families temporarily
settled, strike out over the country
in search of homes. Most of them
want from 40 to 120 acres each, and
many desire to make a speciality of
fruit. Let the big farms every
where be cut up into small tracts
and offered at reasonable prices, and
soon immigrants will come crowding

Food for Nervous Patients.

DR.. Clouston in the annual report Of the
Edinburgh Royal asylum answers the query
OF Henry r. johnson, of St. Louis, as to tho
use of milk and eggs in the cases OF nervous
patients. He gives to such patients as many
as dozen eggs, and as much as six or seven
pints of milk day. When this form OF
treatment is associated with plenty Of walk
ing exercise il the open air, great increase
Of weight often takes place. Tho greater
my experience becomes" writes DR.. ClouS-
ton, Il tend moro TO substitute milk fos
stimulants don't Undervalus the latter in
suitable cases; but in tho very acute cases,
both in depression and naniacal eyaltation,
where the disordered working Of the brain
tends rapidly TO exhaust the strength, rely
more and moro on milk and eggs made into
LIQUID custards. One such case this year got
eight pints Of milk and sixteen eggs every
day for three months, and under this treat
ment recovered. IQuesti0i whether ne would
have done SO under any other.

enough suitable nourishment, or if he could
not have been taken out freely into the open

more prone to spells Of exhaustion and faint

parents they must soon begin to earn their

as fast as possible; iabored harder than some
others who learned easier; labored beyond
their strength until they were stricken down

they are made. In the case Of party or
picnic where the ice cream is purchased from
the coufectioner particular inquiry should be
made as to its freshness, and il it is more
than twelve hours old it should be unhesi-
tatingly rejected. Canned meats, and in fact
all canned goods. should be eaten or cooked
as soon as opened, and under no circum-
stances should they be placed in the refriger-
ator to be kept They are cheap enough and
can be bought in packages of any size, so
that there is no necessity for opening

81 began my dancing career at he age
as one of the pupils, or rats, as they are
called, and went on laboring until was 16.
at this age the primary education Of an out
pupil is generally terminated, the neophyte
being then sufficiently advanced to go up for
examination.
CAT this stage the rats venture on the
quadrilles, but have to pass through another
examination for the new grade. Even when
fairly launched, aspirants have still to prac-
tee two hours at home daily. In addition to
this come the rehearsals. the work done be-
fore the public, the morning lessons, etc.

rats are paid at the rate of forty cents for

advancement comes very slowly. 1t is
considered a great thing to move up as did
from the second TO the first quadrille. The
next step upward is to the envied position OF

years and years of patient study, the dancing
