First, They buy from first hands

save in freight. They also have the
advantage of buying bankrupt
stocks, and also very often reliable
merchants who are pushed for funds
sell them the best of goods at twenty
to thirty per cent. discount for cash.
Second, They have leased the
elegant Opera House building for a
long time for almost nominal rent.
They have the most commodious
and best lighted store rooms in the
city. They carry a full and com.
plete stock of dry goods, clothing,
hats, boots and shoes, ladies' and
gents, furnishing goods, jewelry and
silverware, notions, stationery and
cutlery, groceries, in fact a general
variety such as are usually kept in

in Salem that tries to command the
farmers trade by buying all their
merchantable products, and they re-

EPHEMERAL BOOMS.

Two or three years ago in dozen
cities, notably Kansas City, Omaha,
and Wichita, Kansas, Los Angeles
and San Diego, city additions, away
out in corn fieldsand potato patches,
miles from town, were oeing plated
and sold as town lots. Spectators
bought and sold this suburban prop
erty as worthless stocks are hawked
on 'change. Prices went up, and
up, until it seemed "top prices"
would never be reached. But top
prices were reached and the credu-
lous souls who paid them are now
"holding the bag" so to speak.
Such n result was inevitable. Real
estate, like everything else is worth
much or little accordingly as its
earning power or the value of its
use is large or small. TO this test
must all values come, and wherever
real estate has reached n valuation
above this standard, reaction has
swept away the fictitious valuation
and left investors who expected
speculation to prolong indefinitely II
system at once vicious and unstable
to count up their losses.
We have frequently directed at
tention to the great field for real
estate speculation to be found in
Salem, and our readers have been
advised to invest in Salem cityprop-
erty. Side by side with the decline
in values i'm other cities has been n
steady appreciation of values in this
city. At no time have prices weak
ened a point, and still the tendency
is upward. There has been II great
advance in property within the past
year. Within the twelve months
there will be an advance of 100 per
cent. in the value of all classes of
property, and on some classes still
greater upward movement. Under
such circumstances, with the city
growing and extending its bounda-
ries at an unprecedented rate, with
values yet much below those pre-
vailing in other cities, there is
no room whatever to doubt that
Salem real estate will quadruple in
value before prices settle n hair.

WORLD ENGLISH.

The problem of universal Ian
guage is not solved by Nolapuk, ON
account of the difficulty of keeping
in mind the numerous endings
which distinguish number, gender,
case, tense, mood, etc. AS more
promising system, modified form
of English for world language is
suggested. English is from the OBJ
jectionable infections, and it is al
ready reaching out toward univer-
salty. While the language must
remain substantially as at present, II
few simplifying changes would un-
doubtedly better tit it for interna-
tional use.

WHAT THEY WEAR.

Among ser-viceable petticoats, nothing Is
better than those of biscuit calico, with three
hounces embroidered in self color.
Tailor made parasols to match gown and
bonnet are among the last suggestions Of the
enemy-of which good dressers will beware
A boon to bedraggled humanity is the
water proofed silk umbrella that dries itself
with a single shake-and which is too new to
have as yet got the general use it deserves.
London's craze just now is Pekin inch wide
stripes, in stuffs of cotton, wool, silk or
linen; and if the effect is not given by con
trast of color it is brought about in the man
ner Of weaving.
Gowns of white pongee have the blouse
and full sleeves deeply honeycombed, and
honeycumbed panel at the side as well, or
else they are trimmed with many lengthwise
rows Of lace insertion.
Big hemstitched handllerchiefs Of pongee
can be had in nearly all the summer colors,
and are among the most useful of small
wraps, as they can be either shawl collar or
fichu as the wearer has a mind.
Sailor collars of MORE or velvet, and gath
cred scarfs of china Grape sewed in the
shoulder and crossing at front are among the
u lloGu ny t5OOl AAJOl WuoLo
Of silk, foulard or grenadines.
Leather or leather colored silk is now much
used for the trimming of walking toilets,
which are finished with hats topped with
leather colored plumes, and bow of leather
ribbon tied jauntily on the parasol
Word comes from Paris that white and
cream gowns are less seen than last season;
on the other hand, hardly a colored gown
but has white accessories, either vest collar,
cuffs, panel petticoat or front of skirt.
White skirts are reserved for evening
wear, and are trimmed with lace, insertion
and embroidery quite at discretion, though it
is well to remember that fine simplicity is
tar and away better style than coarse orna-
ment
To wear or not to wear white at throat and
wrists is now whiting if not burning quc5
ton, and though there is something more of
latitude than in seasons past, the weight of
authority inclines to the retention Of lin
gere.
A new and charming effect in the much
used Greek "key border" is made by form
ing it of narrow ribbon, over which, after it
is sewed to the gown, small velvet rings are
fastened with embroidery stitches of the
same color
Foulards just from Paris recall nothing so
much as form and color in general insurrec-
tion, being streaked, splashcd, dotted and
spotted in more ways than ever before eye
saw, eur heard, or it entered into the heart
of man to conceive.
That is a pretty young fashion for the
evening gowns of pretty young girls, which
makes the waist full blouse, low, but not
too low-with wreath of rosebuds twined
about the neck and failing down to lose it
self in the folds of n soft sash.
In the present rush and crush of ocean
travel it is well to remember that the best

SANITARY EFFECT OF RAIN.

Frequent and moderate ram is
the most effective Uf all sanitary
agencies. It cleanses the ground,
and, what is far more important, it
cleanses the air. The ammoniacal
and other exhalations, continualy ly
rising from decomposing animal and
vegetable matter, are all more or
less soluble in water and are largely
removed by gentle rain. Besides
this it absorbs and carries down into
rivers and thence to the sea the eX-
cess of carbOnic acid eXhaled from
our lungs, and produced by our fires
and lights. De Saussure found that
a shower Of rain removed about %
per cent. of the carbOnic acid from
the air over Lake Geneva. Also
that there was less oyer the lake
than over the neighboring meadows
and the great elevations of the Alps
where there was no water. The
atmosphere over the sea contains
less than one-fourth of the quantity
in that over the land. Far away at
sea the quantity is unappreciable,
and at a given place on the coast it
varies with the wind, increasing as
it blows from the land and vice
versa. All these facts show that
water in contact with the air alb
serbs it's carbonic acid in a decidedly
practical degree. In densely popu-
lated districts this is of considerable
Importance. The difference is per-
ceptible to the senses after long
drought, as the common expression
refreshing showers indicates.
