TRY the Elixir of Life.

A gentleman connected with one
of the leading mercantile houses of
Salem says that Notwithstanding
the spark Of enthusiasm which bob
bed up sercnely in Salem last fall
and promised such speedy rail con-
nection with Astoria, relapse has
occurred, and Salem Is securely re-
posing in the arms of Morpheus.
This Is not ~ it should be, and our
friend promises to use his best en-
dcavors to again arouse the people to
Il sense Of their duty, when he re-
turns home, having seen and heard
enough during his sojourn In this
region to fully convince him that
Salem capitalists cannot afford, at
the present juncture OF affairs, to let
this golden opportunity pass. ss.-Pio-

Yankee Etiquette.

Ice cream is such thoroughly
American dish that entwined about
the inevitable saucer of vanilla are
some peculiar American customs of
etiquette that to the unsophisticated
and uninitiated foreigner sometimes
seem barbarous. They are not,
however, for every true and loyal
American boy will admit that he
would rather eat ice cream out of
his sweethcarps spoon than use his
own.
\ young Englishman the other
day was relating his first experience
at an ice cream table with n Phila,
delphia girl, lie said: "a was ut
terly broken up and astounded,
don't you know, when, after finding
u strawberry in her halt-hnished
plate of cream, she hshed 1t out on
her spoon and offered il to me.
"Won't you have it?' she ASKED.
"No, Indeed replied, no doubt
looking the horror felt in my soul.
"'Why not?' she demanded, seem-
ing Ia be hur; 10y my refusal.
"'Why, my dear glrl, don't you
know | exclaimed, you have had
the spoon in your mouth
"'Well, what OF thaE she pouted

An Open Challenge.

The record has been broken this
time and no doubt about it. Messrs.
Bruce n Pugh have left in the
shade all previous records of quick
moves and stands made by thresh-
ing machines. Their move was of
l27 rods and il was exactly eleven
minutes from the time they quit
threshing In one field until they
had set and were threshing in an
other one, distant l27 rods from the
first. The best previous fast time
was fourteen minutes on much
shorter move. Who can beat this?

CLIMATIC IhanCpS.

Climatic Changes.
\. ID. 1855. Correspondents from
Nebraska and western Iowa describe
the climate as peculiar for the dry
ness Of the atmosphere. Travellers
and sojourncrs there, near where
Omaha stands, had made the same
Observations years before. Beef
freshly killed and hung up in sum
mer on poles, would cure; become
good dried beef. Many anecdotes
were related to prove the "extreme
aridiity Of the atmosphere" as any
one may see by referring to old let
tiers, files and histories. This the
writer experienced in his own per-
/ son.
A. ID. 1889. For some years past
they have complained OF remark
able dampness of the atmosphere
during the spring and summer
months. Tobacco gets to drip all
most, and salt dissolvcs away into 2
watery substance. For weeks at
time it is very sticky. Postage
stamps and gumned envelopes stick
together and are often spoiled. SCmc
seasons are Il great deal worse than
others. The country all around and
far west was settled long ago. The
sons and daughters of contemporl-
rs pioneers have gone west, raised
families that in turn have gone
farther west and are raising families
of their own. copy from a letter
of an intelligent young lady who
was educated III Colorado on the
Gunnison river, far west of the
Rocky mountains. She is the
daughter of one of the young pio-
necrs of 1866, and is visiting in
Omaha: "rhere is usually good
breeze; but it is very sultry. / can
notice such a change from the dry
air of Colorado to this. 1t seems
very unpleasant and | don't believe
! can ever live in such damp eli
mate"
Now it is contended by many
learned men that the climate has
not become any damper, because,
they assert, that "no more rain falls
on the average" That may be 50,
but every old settler in all this re-
gion will tell you that the earth aud
the air have become much damper.
\ great many facts could be cited to
show this. Twenty years ago delv-
ing with the spade Il hundred miles
west OF the Missouri river caused
men to cXclaim, "this ground has
not been wet since the deluge." All
under the heavy sod was like one
solid dust pile. Now it is all wet
from below the sod or surface. We
cannot tell what effect certain small
seeming causes may have Oh climate.
1t is now reported that the Eiflel
Tower is causing incessant thunder
showers all over Paris. If it shall be
proven true then the time is coming
when man will be able to cause the
rain to fall and to change the eli
mate by erecting such towers and
connecting them by cables over
which electricity will flow. That
tower itself is miracle of art with
out eXaggeration. Its height is al
most exactly one thousand feet.
Now the highest pyramid is but 4SO
feet and the highest of all other
steeplcs and monuments does not
exceed over $50 feet. This gives us
some idea of its Importance when
we consider it.

The Deadly Circular Saw Once More
GEES In Its Sorry work.
Just before noon yesterday Eugene
Morrison, n young man who was
working with Mckinney & Smiths
steam threshing outfit near Turner,
went to start the belt on the beam
shaft which had stopped for some
cause, and as he climbed up and
loosened the belt it started so quick
ly that it jerked him forward, turn
ing him somcrsault and throwing
him upon II circular saw which was
used for saving wood for the en-
gine. The muscles of the right fore
arm were cut clear through and the
bones were almost severed. The
leaders of the lett wrist We're also cut
and torn, both arms being badly
mangled. The saw also threw him
violently to the ground and he
struck on his hips, spraining them
but not seriously. Medical aid was
at once summoned and with careful
nursing the young man will recover,
but no doubt he will be cripple for
life.
