The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1888-11-02

If IL Is May or June do not come TO
Russia without the heaviest winter cloth
ing and the heaviest cf winter wraps,
even though you may have left England
all ablaze with hawthorne blossoms, Hol-
land carpeted with tulips and Rerlin at
summer heat. Remember that the Russian
calendar Is twelve days later than ours.
Remember that st. Petersburg Is on the
shores of the Baltic sea. Remember also
that you are on the direct route to the
North pole. Already have seen two
hard snow storms, and our teeth have
been on a continual chatter since reaching
here. In the country May 29) the peas
ants are just blowing and sowing for
their summer crops, and in the city
heavy overcoats and furs seem quite at
home.
There Is one thing, however, that
strikes an American very agreeably as
well as strangely, and that Is the suddenly
increased length Of the days. Even now
the sun does not set until about o O'Clock
and rises no one knows how early; and
soon the longest days will have reached
here when the sun is only nonainally be-
low the horizon from one-quarter past 10
till one-quarter before 2, but really the
twilight Is so bright that one can read
with ease all night No doubt this has
much to do in maturing the harvest so
rapidly in the few months OF summer

soldIer.. An,i.eptio Ammunition.

According to The Medical Press q use
ful suggestion is being carried out by the
Netherland government, by which pro-
vision will be made for supplying each
soldier during the time of war with a
cartridge containing some antiseptic
dressings. Each cartridge will be made
of convenient size, namely, about three
inches In length by two in width, and
will DO secured at one end with a safety
pin. The dressing contained in each will
consist Of n bandage about three yards
long, and two pieces of gauze, all Of
which have been rendered antiseptic by
n sublimate solution. Hence In the
event Of wounds being received ready
means would be at hand for the immedi-
ate application of antiseptic dressings.
Soldiers in the case of slight injuries
would probably at once avail themselves
of the dressings, and the latter could not
fail to be of. much use to the surgeons.
The idea is well worthy of the attention
Of the military authorities In this coun-
try, and might even with advantage bo
adopted, as it has been for years past In
the German army. In the wars In which,
during the past few years England has
been engaged In tropical climates, the
early application of antiseptics to the
wounds received by the men was ad-
mitted to be matter of the utmost i'm
portance by the army medical officers at

sheep shearlne 81 araehlnery.

The process OF sheep shearing by ma
chinery is now performed in Australia by
an ingenious kind Of device, the results,
as represented. being very satisfactory.
The apparatus in question is q very
simple one, being made on the same
principle as the cutter Of q mower or
reaper, and the knives arc worked by
means Of rods within the handles, these
In their turn being moved by o core
within long flexible tube, which is kept
In a rotary shaft, and wheels driven by q
stationary engine. The comb is in the
form of a segment of a circle, about
three inches in diameter, with eleven
conical shaped teeth. Each machine Is
worked by shearer, and as the comb Is
forced along the skin Of the animal the
fleece is cut. The machine can be run
either with q steam or gas engine, or by
ordinary horse power, and does not easily
get out of order.-New York Sun.

POOR MARBLE HEART.
He Meets the Man with the Iroz Fist ana
Learns Lesson.

He Meets the Man with the Iron Fist ana
Learns Lesson.
A young man from some interior
town. who was in that condition known
rs ..sprung," was seeking q sixirnish
at the corner of Woodward and Jeffer-
son avenues yesterday. He said he
was the young man OF the Marble
Heart, whatever that il, and that he
felt lonesome because he hadn't shed
somebody's blood for three long hours
The policeman on the beat warned In
a fatherly way to scatter himself over
the city, but he replied:
..Not q scatterl Honor chains me
here. 1 am the man Of the Marble
Heart"
Yes, but you don't want to be locked
up, take it." protested the ofticer.
There's no use In getting into trouble
because your heart isn't made on the
regular plan
But he wouldn'tgo. He wanted gore
and other high-priced summer goods,
and waiting until the officer was a block
away he bristled up 10 man with q
basket on his arm aud dared him TO
look cross-eyed-
Il warn ye to kape of" exclaimed
the man as he moved along.
The man of the Marble Heart moved
after him. Then the basket dropped,
the young man went into the gutter In
heap, and a sport declared him
knocked out in the first round. The
policeman returned and picked him up
and called the wagon, and II WAS not
until the victim reached the station
that he spoke. Then he said:
SAL right. Man of the Marble
Heart can't stand up to the Man with
the Iron Fist Didn't know It before,
out shall remember it now-always
remember il. it."-Detroit Free Press.

Expensive runeraI. and monuments.

Is 1t not about time that the societies
and other efforts put forth to reform
funerals and reduce the expenses of
burials, included the conceited display OF
monuments7 People never heard of be-
yond their street have the resting places
of their bodies marked by stones that
cost anywhere from $1,000 to $40, 900.
This cannot be the result OF family affec-
ton, but is more likely to be family
pride. There Is but one possible advan-
tage Of such display-that is the creation
of snowy and interesting cemeteries.
But people of sound sense are, nowadays,
ordering that they themselves be buried
without display and their graves marked
in the simplest manner. The amount OF
wealth already unnecessarily stored In
our cemeteries is high among the tens OF
millions, or even hundreds OF millions.
The mausoleums of the dead were I'm
primitive times the earthly homes of the
spirits OF the departed; but we have no
longer this excuse for unlimited expense.
