Salem Illustrated.

The January number of the West
Shore will contain elegant engrav-
ings of the city, accompanied by a
descriptive sketch of Salem and
tributary country. Engravings will
be far superior to anything ever
done for the capital city before. No
office on the Pacific coast but that of
the West Shore is capable of doing
work of this character. The pictures
will include the Public Institutions,
Court House, Churches, Schools,
Streets, Views, ETC., and the number
will be accompanied by large sup
plement with portraits Of the mem
bers of the legislature. The citizens
of Salem are promised an artistic
treat in this number. 1t will be
issued early in January, and will be
one that all will be proud to send
to their friends.

Some Nice city Property.

Yesterday Moores & Manning,
the real estate agents, placed seven
desirable building lots on State
street in the market at $3.50 per lot.
They are only five blocks from the
State house, and are so feet frontage
by 265 feet deep, with a forty-foot
alley way on the rear. They are
just outside the city limits, the line
bordering the front Of the lots, and
persons purchasing them will save
city taxes. This saving will pay
street car transportation every year,
and there is no doubt the Salem
street railway will pass in front of
them by spring. They will sell
these lots on very easy terms, and
thus make them very desirable in
vestments for persons with small
means. Call at 317 Commercial
street and learn more regarding
these, the only cheap and desirable
residence lots on Piety Hill.

II Was a Merry Christmas.

Beginning with the trees on
Christmas eve and continuing still,
the holidays in Salem have been
and promise yet to be, happy ones.
Everybody was glad, and well they
might be, for we had much over
which to rejoice.
First among the holiday greetings
and festivals was the tree given at
the orphans home. Through the
efforts of number of Salem's char
table citizens the event was most
happy one for the lone orphans.
On Christmas eve trees were had
at the Christian, M. E. and Baptist
churches. They were all pleasant
occasions and caused great rejoicing
among the little ones. The Presby-
terian school had an Elephant "
which brought beautiful presents
for many, while the Evangelical
denomination entertained with a
noYeI program.
Last night entertainments were
had at the Congregational, German
Reform and st. PauPs churches. All
enjoyed themselves thoroughly and
Christmas of 1888 will be long re-
membered as one of much merri-
ment.

He Was Tonebed.

Recorder Strickler's court to-day
is looking into the case of state VS..
Lawton.
George Lawton is charged with
drugging Asa Corwin and robbing
him of S75, The story Of his crime
is as follows: On Saturday even
ing Corwin went into Anderson's
gin mill with friend Clark who
was under the soothing influence
and had considerable money about
him. The lucre he was induced to
turn over to Corwin for safe keep
ing. This deposit was witnessed by
Lawton who "smiled" with the
crowd in their hilarity. He also
managed to slip a quantity of drug
into the firewater provided for Cor
win. The result was that Corwin
became insensible under its in
fluence and was taken home in a
cab. Lawton assisted him in the
cab and rode home with him. On
the road to Corwin's home the
worthless Lawton relieved his
friend Of the SIS. Marshal Ross
ferreted out the criminal and return
ed him to this city where he has
been languished in Jail since Thurs
day evening. The preliminary ex-
animation occurs tomorrow be-
fore Recorder Strickler.

Bee Stlugs.


1t is a common mistake to suppose that an
angry bee is certain TO sting on alighting upon
a human hand. On the contrary, she will al
ways examine the skin very carefully, first
with the palpi-very delicate and nervous feel
ing organs, which arc situated near the sting.
1t may seem that she stings at once, and with
out care or reflection; but bee can do a great
deal in very short space of time, in proof of
which it may be mentioned that she can flap
her wings more than 900 times per second, and
that each flap involves the extension and con-
traction through q nerve impulse, of the mus
ccs employed in the wing movements" This
being the case, as Dir. Cheshire says, we shall
sec al once that the 30 time difficulty is re-
moved" When a person has been stung by a
bee, he should remove the sting Immediately,
" II possible, by the nail, running itin the direc-
ton opposite to that by which it has entered"
On no account let him take hold of the sting
with his thumb and finger, or forceps for
then he will probably squeeze more of the vi
rus into the wound from the poison bag, which
Is generally left attached to the sting. Al
though the virus 0fa bee sting is a strong acid,
1t does not always follow that an alkali will
cure 1t. Much depends upon the temperament
and constitution OF the patient, and while Ar
MICA montana and Ledum palustre will give
relief IN many cases, in others they are inu-
rious. We may dismiss the subject of bee
stings by giving the young beekeeper two pieces
Of 4omfort-the first that at swarmiDg time
bees are nearly always in an exceedingly good
temper; the second that each time he is stuug
he will probably become less susceptible to the
effects Of bee poison
