Hold Your Own.

Il see you're holding your own" said Wis
iting friend TO sick man. "Yes, and I'll
pull through if my hands don't slip" was the
reply; and he did pull through. Earnest effort
and will-power will assist an invaid's recovery
in remarkable degree, and We should ever be
determined and hope, no matter what our
doctors may say. There are hundreds who
would still be suffering the horrors Of blood
poison, that surely was bringing them nearer
and nearer to the grave, if they had given up
hope when their doctors pronounced their cases
incurable, or when many extensively advertised
decoctions proved inert and worthless. But
they would not give up, and as good fortune
would have it, finally gave 3. B. B. botanic
Blood Balm) a trial, which proved to b. the
very remedy they needed, and restored them to
perfect health; curing some of running ulcers,
Others OF rheumatism and aching joints, others
OF pimples and annoying skin hlemishes, others
OF catarrh, others Of weak kidneys and indiges-
ton, Others Of lame back and general debility
Try it. Try it now!

no chance to go to heaven save by her
soul at death passing into the body of a
man. If she is wonderfully pious dur
ing this life, such transmigration may
take place, and 1 note that the chief
worshippers at the pagodas here are
women. Buddhist teachers put woman
much lower in the scale of morality than
man, and they maintain that the sins of
one woman are equal to the sins of 5000
OF the worst men that ever lived. There
are about two hundred million Bud
dhist women in the world and none of
these have any other hope of immortality
than this.
Living as they do, the Burmese can
not have much of home life. The houses
OF the great majority are more like tents
than anything else. They are made of
plated bamboo walls matched with
palm leaves, which are pinned to the
rafters of bamboo the size of fishing
poles. The most of the houses are of
one story, and this is built upon piles so
high above the ground that you can
walk under the floor without stopping.
Under the house the live stock of the
family is kept, and there is sometimes a
work-room inside this lower foundation.
The house has no furniture in an Ameri-
can sense; the family sleep upon mats
and they keep their heads off the floor
by resting them upon bamboo pillows.
Still they are wonderfully civilized, con-
sidering their surroundings. They are
the kindest and most manly people 1
have met since leaving Japan, and their
women are bright, intelligent, and in the
cases of the younger ones, beautiful.

A Puzzled POrker.

Out on Yolo county ranch a few
years ago small band of hogs were
confined in lot fencel in with logs.
In one part of the fence there was a
hollow log, shaped something like a
joint of stopepipe, one opening being
inside the lot and the other outside.
One day an intelligent porker discovered
this fact and thereafter went out and re-
turned at his own pleasure. The owner
Of the ranch happened to witness the
mode of egress of the hog one day and
decided to put up job on him. BY
Slowing the log around little he so
contrived as to place both openings of
the log inside the lot. In a few mo-
mcnts the hog ran UP to his usual exit
and passed through the log. Imagine
his surprise when he walked out the
other end Of TIE log and found himself
still inside the lot. lie looked about
him in Il puzzled way, scratched his ear,
and tried again. Same result. "Well.
I'll be hanged" grunted the hog,
Again he ran into the log and ran out
again with the same result. He became
wild with rage and dashed through the
log so often and SO fast that the smoke
began to issue from the cracks. Then
he gave it up as bad job, and, so the
owner of the hog says, never went near
the fence until the day of his death.

The Cheerful Coyote.

j. I. Beckwith and few other live
neighbors of the Santiam bottoms, near
Jefferson, dubbed together recently and
expended $50 for the purchase of two
fine foxhounds, and the result has been
the slaughter of eight ravenous coyotes
in the last two or three weeks. These
hounds have already almost paid for
themselves in scalp bounty, while there
is no telling how many dollars worth of
animals they have saved. There is a
little joke on these same enterprisinp
farmers of "the bottoms" which is worth
telling. Some months ago Mr.. Beck
with, G. G. Glenn, Mr.. Steiver and
Others organized club of 25 members
for the determination of the willy brutes,
and when one of its members killed
coyote he received 81 from each men,
Der of the club in addition to the
bounty. This arrangement worked to a
charm until one member more deter
mined than the rest became enthusiastic
in the chase, followed big fellow with
such perseverance that he chased him to
his hole and there found and captured
the two old ones and litter of eight on
the high road to development. Then
came the demand for so from each
member of the club, which made some
of the quiet farmers belonging to it take
a tight grip on their wallets and refuse
to pony up, and the club issued a mani
festo of reputation and burst-dis-
solved partnership and withdrew its dec
larations of organized warfare.

Henry Clews & Co., New York, say in their
weekly circular: "our heavy gold shipments
and their bearing upon the future OF the
money market have attracted considerable at
tention, especially as the movement OF STOCKS
is largely Influenced by this consideration.
Since january l, about Sl9, 900 900 of gold have
been shipped from this port, the bulk Of winch
went in the month of May. AS produce and
commercial bills are scarce and London is NOT
taking our securities very freely, the prospects
are that further important amounts will follow.
The bulk of recent shipments 60 the continent
and their result must be continued easy money
in Europe and consequent stimulating OF spec
ulation in foreign markets. At London dis
counts in the open market are quoted at ABOUT
~ per cent; at Berlin they are only fracton
higher: while in Paris, where the feeling lacks
entire confidence, the rate is about ~ per cent
"The loans of the New York Associated
Banks are at the highest point on record; put
this causes no concern among bankers, Tor tne
reason that the reserves are under good con-
troll, and there ts no prospect OF any activity In
the demand for money until midsummer, when
preparations for the fall requirements are IN
order. Better rates are, of course, anticipated
at this period, and there is consequently less
disposition to lend on time at present low rates
There need be no apprehension Of stringency
in the money market for months to come; as
the Treasury is in position to release funds
more freely when necessary, ana the gold now
going out is likely to return in the latter half
of the year."

and It became known that President Oakes had

ARE YOU SlCK2

The physicians of che Polypathic Medical and
Surgical Institute, at No. 40 Penn avenue, have
Tor years given especial attention to the treat
ment of chronic diseases, and cases
which require surgical treatment, viz, all
forms of skin and blood Diseases

cluding every form of disease which manifests
itself by pimples, blotches or eruption on the
skin. BY their constitutional and local treat
ments they easily remove the worst form of
eruption on the skin, moth patches, freckles.
ETC. They also give especial attention to dis
eases OF the kidneys and bladder, such as
brignrs disease, congestion, enlargement dis
placement and deposits of sand and gravel
IN the kidneys, and stone in the
bladder. Do you have pain across
the small of the back? A weak, tired
FEELING, especially in the morning. lack of
ambition, scanty urine and pain in voiding 1t,
with brick dust sediment? If so, these symp-
toms point unmistakbly to a disease of the kid
neys or bladder. Often the kidneys become
diseased without manifesting any especial
symptoms and which can only be detected by a
thorough microseopical examination of the
urine.
All suffering from kidney or urinary
diseases are cordially invited to call and cou-
suit these specialists, and bring specimen of
urine with them, which will be given a free
microscopical and chemical analysis.
