Wounds From Barb Wire.

Valuable stock will often get in to barb wire fences. It is we'll to have some simple remedies at hand, as many of the cuts if taken in time, may be readily cured, while If neglected an unsightly scar may remain, seriously i'm pairing the value of the an1mals. Ordinary liniments and salves are generally too severe, even when the latter is plentifully mixed with lard. A preparation consist ing of one part turpentine and two parts lard will soothe the wound and keep away flies. Deep cuts can be healed thus without leaving a scar. But if the animal is not in good condition, blood poisoning may ensue and death follow. Pine tar applied to the parts affected will also keep away flies, but it has a tendency to bar den the bare flesh and render it more painful. A salve made of bittersweet and little pine tar mixed with 1t, will heal the wound and keep away the flies. Ordina- " cuts on 8 barbed wire fence. when the animal is in good health, will often heal rapidly without any application whatever, provi- ded the flies are kept away. A simple remedy, which will not on- ly keep away the insects but will drive out maggots from the wounds where they are found and heal them rapidly is the following: Take the inside bark of the elder and boil in lard until a strong salve is made. Add little tar. Apply plentifully and as frequent ly as necessary and unless the wound is extremely severe it will soon heal.

Cheap Aluminium.

The United States Secret-Ser- vice officers at Cincinnati, O., have unearthed a great invention. For three years past the people of Newport, Ky, have been greatly exercised over some mysterious doings in an old building on the outskirts of town near tho mill. Any one approaching the premi- ses were at once ordered of. It soon got rumored around that 1t was a den of counterfeiters; that at night thieves and highwaymen remelted stolen jewelry, and sus- picious looking experts were mo- ticed to enter the old works. Slag, containing traces of some brill iant metal was discovered as evil dence. This reaching the ears of the United States authorities, Thomas Coyne, of the Newport Detective Agency stationed there, was put on the case.
 He visited the old works, de- manded admission, which was granted to the officer, and when he came away reported the mys- terious works only a chemical de- composition and analytical study. His visit, however, brought to light the fact that in the old smelling works a chemical process had been perfected, that the brilliant particles of metal gather ed of the slag dump being noth- ing less than pure aluminium, which had been smelted in water jacketed steel retorts distilled from clay-cryolite, carbon, fuoride fluxes and other ingredients cruel bles being useless to resist the strong basic fluxes while this met al reduces silicon from the sub stance of the pot, becoming itself dark gray and brittle in conse- quence. Mir. Charles l.. Harts- field of Newport, Ky, the experi- menter in question, was seen by correspondent and acknowledged that he had made the discovery, based upon the theory of substitu- tion without the use of sodium, obviating the necessity of the usu- al costly intermediary elements. The importance of such a process can be judged, aluminium being the most generally diffused metal upon earth; it has all the beauty of silver, er,non-tarnishing, ing,non-corro- sive, stronger and more lasting than silver, with only fourth its weight, while for electroplating purposes is superior to either sil- yer or gold. When alloyed, one- fourth one per cent of aluminium to iron or copper, increases the homogenious and textile strength of the metal nearly one-half. The value of this metal is inestimable. owing to its allowing tenacity with any metal.-Scientific American.

FROM JERUsALEAr.

U. S. A.-Deay SIR: In reply to your
letter enquiring as to Jerusalem, have
to say, would advise no one to come
here with the idea of making money
or even n living. 1t Is n rare exception
when this is done. Under different
government things might be better
but with everything taxed crops,
trees, whether they bear or not, cattle,
etc, etc, what can be expected? Prop
erty I'm the vicinity of Jerusalem can
be had at a reasonable price, though in
the city IL has greatly advanced; so has
1t at Jaffa, where the orange groves
are. This ought 10 be great oil and
wine producing country, and II would
be were 1t not so taxed. Money here

In December the county school su-
perintendents of this state Will vote on
the adoption of series of text books
for use in our public schools for term
of four years. If they vote to make a
complete change in our school books
it will in many instances work hard
ship on parents who have books to buy
for five or six children. Great care
ought to be exercised in the rejection
and selection of books. No change
ought to be made where those in pres
ent use are not radically unfit for
school purposes. The present manner
of changing books every four years
ought to be extended at least eight
years. This would give the superin-
tendents a longer rest from the impor-
tunities of book publishers, who at
such times torment these officials to an

TO THE YoUNG MEN OF ORE
CON.


desire to have kind and friendly
talk with the young men of our coun-
try on the question of your own inter
est and future welfare. Why should
not the native boys of Oregon fill the
positions of honor, trust, profit and
emolument of this great country? Do
YOU want to turn over the interest,
destiny and management of your ma
tive land into the hands of foreign and
imported men and women? Do you
want all the doctors, teachers, lawyers,
statesmen and ministers in Oregon TO
be men of other states? Well, then
listen, and 1 will talk kindly on this
subject
This heaving, busy, driving world
demands three essentials from all who
would stand at the helm in all the
busy marts of trade or in the learned
professions:
First Energy, Eaerayt The world
wants, needs and must have live men,
men with push and vim, who know
and value time as though minutes
were dimes and hours were dollars.
Second-The mind must be active
and well trained; il must be prepared
by education and proper development
to grasp with vigor and activity the
living questions of the day and with
rapidity to solve each problem as it
presents itself.
Third-Noral stamina must be the
and intellectual worth t'Clean hands
and pure heaItn are the only foun-
dations of real prosperity.
Energy-education character
IA trio that deserve and demand sue
cess in any department of work,
I long to see you succeed, to build up
yourself and your country with you;
but without these essential qualities
you can never have permanent success.
Nature has opened wide her hand in
liberality to you and your country, but
her pr0fuse bounties will be no gain OF
profit to you unless you be a hero in
the great battle of life. Somebody is
going 10 reap a great harvest in the
future development of this country.
There are boundless resources here
awaiting the magic touch of enterprise
that viii ere long spring into existence
as railroads and emigration spring
upon us. Why not the sons of Oregon
spring to the front, and by energy
education and moral worth, storm the
fort? Your fathers and mothers faced
the perils OF the plains, braved the
dangers of savage opposition and over
came the difficulties of frontier lift
to give you this fair land. Then come
away from all evil associations, from
Jar-rooms and gaming tables, from
haunts of idleness and sin; plucl
bright honors by the crown and hole
this land as grand and glorious heri
tage bequeathed by your noble ances
tors. This can only be accomplis heC
by energy, education and true appre
citation of moral dignity. J.
