The Exchange Fiend.

Every newspaper man has fond
ness for the fellow who drops in to
look over the exchanges and see if there
is anything there that he wants. Your
exchange fiend is friendly fellow. He
does not require distance to lend en-
chantment. His first step is to put his
elbow on your shoulder and carefully
read what you happen to be tossing off
at that moment. If he doesn't like it,
he says so in voice thick with con-
tempt and the exhalations of decaying
teeth.
Having critised the weather, the ar
ticle you are writing and the cut of your
collar, he asks for the Kennebunkport
Banner and looks hurt because you in
vite him to "look through that pile, in
stead of getting on your knees and sift-
ing it out for him. He gave you the
name of the paper for the express pur-
pose Of aiding you in your search. He
is amazed at your failure to take the
hint.
Having been "a journalist himself" he
knows that exchanges are received at
newspaper Offices for the sole benefit of
pigeon-toed loafers, and that exchange
editors are paid princely salaries for
waiting upon them.
At last he departs, despising you most
heartily as the meanest man he has met
in all his journalistic experience as
Richield correspondent of the La Cres-
cent Mirror. But he will call again,
just the same.-Mi1e1aeapo Tribune.

OREGON's BIG MAJORITY.
Ex-Governor st. John Tells Why the Stat,
Went Solidly Republican.

Ex-Governor st. John Tells Why the State
Went solidly Republican.
In an interview with Ex-Governor St.
John, published in an Eastern paper, he
casts some new light on the Oregon cleo
ton. Mr.. St. John has but recently re-
turned from campaign on the Pacific
coast, and knows whereof he speaks. He
asserts that in the election few weeks
ago on the Prohibition Amendment in
Oregon, q bargain was struck between the
leading liquor dealers and certain of the
Republican leaders, which bargain was
that the Republicans would defeat the
Amendment in return for the assistance
of the liquor dealers against the Democrats
in the campaign just closed. AS result,
the fourteen Republican counties of Ore
gon cast majority of about 1000 against
the Amendment, while the thirteen Demo-
cratic counties cast majority Of but 100
against it. And now, as the fruit of this
treachery to the temperance cause, the Re-
publicans carry the State, with the assist
ance of the liquor votes, by a majority sew
eral times rs large as ever before. This is
the ikeliest explanation yet made of the
vote. Said Gov. st. John in the inter-
view referred to:
Oregon is possessed of splendid natur-
al resources, but her people are cursed by
monopoly and rum rule. The railroads
and saloons dictate the policy of the
State, and all moral effort that runs
counter to this tyranny is boycotted, and,
if need be, crushed. This evil influence
is plainly visible, not only in business
and social circles, but even the churches
are seriously affected by it. But the en-
tire Pacific slope is beginning to realize
as never before the true condition of
things, and there is growing disposition
among the people to bring about change
in affairs, the evidence of which will
fully appear in the large vote that will be
polled there for Fisk and Brooks in
November"

Removing Cinders from the Eve,

Nine persons out of every ten with a
cinder or any foreign substance in the
eye will instantly begin to rub the eye
with one hand while hunting for their
handkerchief with the other. They
may, and sometimes do, remove the Of
Tending cinder, but more frequently
they rub until the eye becomes in
famed, bind the handkerchief around
the head and go to bed. This is all
wrong. The better way is not to rub
the eye with the cinder in at all, but
rub the other eye as vigorously as you
like. An old railroad engineer gives
his experience in this matter: A few
years since was riding on the engine
of the fast express from Binghamton
to Corning. The engineer, an old
schoolmate Of mine, threw open the
front window, and I caught cinder
that gave me the most excruciating
pain. I began to rub the eye with both
hands. "Let your eye alone, and rub
the other eye" (this from the engineer).
II know you doctors think you know it
all; but if you will let that eye alone
and rub the other one the cinder will
be out in two minutes" persisted the
engineer. I began to rub the other
eye, and soon felt the cinder down
near the inner canthus, and made ready
to take it out. "Let it alone and keep
at the we'll eye," shouted the doctor
pro tenn. I did so for minute longer,
and, looking in a small glass he gave
me, found the offender on my cheek.
Since then I have tried it many times
and have advised many others, and I
have never known it to fail in one in
stance (unless it was as sharp as a
piece of steel or something that cut
into the ball and required an operation to
remove it). Why it is SO I do not know;
but that it is so I do know, and that
one may be saved much suffering if one
will let the injured eye alone and rub
the we'll eye Try it.

A Spark Put Out.

Here is funny newspaper story
about the venerable and popular show
man, p T. Barnum. As matter of
course, his old companion fire figures
prominently in the story. This time,
however, it was the fire of love:
When Phineas wasia young man he
paid attentions to 4 young lady in
Newtown. The young lady's father
conceived a singular and most violent
dislike to the amiable and embryotic
Snowman. This necessitated extreme
caution on the part of the lover. His
ingress to the house was by window
of a sitting-room on the first floor,
which he reached by springing from the
cover of cistern and catching hold of
the window-ledge. His egress was
effected by hanging full length from
the ledge and then dropping to the els
tern cover, fall of about six inches.
One Sunday he took with him on the
visit young man. They reached the
place, the young lady saw the signal,
opened the window, and the famous
Barnum sprang up into bliss. The
young man was to amuse himself about
the village until the hour of departure
It doesn't seem possible that anybody
could be so brutal, but that young man
actually removed the cover to the els
tern. Phineas finished his sparkling,
and backed out of the window the full
length his hands would permit. Then
he let go, and instantly shot from sight
into a yawning abyss of darkness and
rain-water. It is not necessary to re-
peat what Mr.. Barnum said, both when
crawling out of the cistern and during
the eight niles walk home.

Wet labor in tho hope of material OF supplies.

question that created discussion was
that relating to renting buildings in
Washington for the use Of the Government. Mr..
Edmunds saying that it would be cheaper for
the Government to erect than to rent buildings.
Mr. Allison agreed with him, but said the House
prevented such action. After further discussion
the bill was passed. The House resumed con-
sideration Of the public land bill. An amend
ment was adopted allowing entrymen six months
