Until one makes careful study of this
subject, be cannot have any adequate idea of
the extent of its ramiacations An old
writer enumerates as many as fifty-three
methods Of divination, some of which-as
sciomancy, or divination by shadows; TWO
nancy, or divining by means of the coagula-
ton of cheese, etc. are obsolete; while
others-like chironancy, Or palmistry, onei-
romancy, or dream Interpretation, and clero-
NANCY, or casting lots-are still in vogue.
Many educated men yet attach importance
to the predictions of a horoscope. 1t will be
remembered that in the last valume of the

the great statesman was most accurately pre-

There was largely attended meeting
OF the retail merchants of the city at the

the purpose of considering the formation
OF a branch of the Merchants Retail
Commercial Agency. of Chicago. Mr..
W. s. Smith, the secretary and general

All the merchants present signed the
constitution and bylaws, pledging their
honor as business men to maintain and
sustain each and every part thereof for
one year. A fine is provided as a penalty
Tor violation of the clause in such cons
stituhon, which provides that no member
shall give credit 10 a person who does
not in some honorable manner adjust his
indebtedness with another member of
The Merchants Retail Commercial
Agency" No person shall be reported to
the members of this or any other branch
as not entitled to credit, until such per-
son has been given full and fair oppor-
tuniiy to go to the merchant he owes and
IN some way settle up his Indebtedness.
Inc system cannot work hardship on
any person who is disposed to do the
square thing. Any person, no matter
now poor, how unfortunate his circum,
ssshtes III HE, II he IS honest. he need
have no fear, because be can and will
make known his circumstances in such a

he owes. No merchant will ever crowd
poor man who is honest; but that class
OF persons who do not care for their
promises to pay; who go from one store
to another, from one town to another,
contracting debt wherever they can get
the chanee TO open an account; who go
1t blind, never stopping to consider how
they can pay; never trying TO pay-pay-
ing their honest debts being the last thing
they ever think Oft is to such persons
that this system pays attention.

some men are born great. some achieve
greatness and others have greatness thrust
upon them. Ii his ship sinks he is eaved in
the long boat; if his bank breaks he has with

But there Is luck different from this. and
1t has been often noted. One man goes
through life and everything he does Turns IN

Advocate, the official organ of the

education and experience, is well
able to fill it. The Advocate is one

he has been much of his time away
from home on his arduous duties,
the good people of Salem will regret
to have him lose his residence here.
He will go to his new duties next

remain and prosecute their studies
at the university. The church,

Some more mammoth plumi
have found their way to this office
from the trees Of w. b. Simpson.
One egg plum measured 81 inches
lOngitudinally, and the Others are
not far behind it in size.
1t is truly said that some men
would grumble at anything, even II
going to be hung. One new conner
on seeing this immense fruit began
TO complain that ever he had come
to Oregon. On being asked II that
style offruit was not good enough for
him, he heaved q deep sigh and
lamented that he had not stopped
in Chicago and made his fortune by
selling Webfoot plums at ten to
fifteen cents a piece. But he declar-
ed he had no idea that such fruit
was raised here and so he was not
to blame.

man who has charge of the States
man and Oregonian city route, is off
duty to-day, having been thrown
from his horse. Charley Henderson

that Mr.. Critchelow's horse became

came unmanageable, near DR.. Ports

Cured. The injury consists of a

made by a kick from the horse. It
will confine him to the house for
several days and will almost up-
avoidably leave an ugly scar. Ben
is very popular as worthy young
man and many regrets are expressed
over his mishap. The accident Oc-
cured at o'clock this morning. DIR.
Port happened tosee it and fastened
to his assistance, caring for him un-
til his physician DR.. l.. Henderson
could be obtained. Under his care
he is resting easy. DR.. Port says
the horse kicked viciously as though
to kill. Had it struck an inch on
either side of the wound it would
probably have been fatal.
