"DLOCTOR HE KILLEM TO- NIGHT"
But He Didn't. the Patient got Well and
Il Had no Use for a Tombstone.

Rankin. the tombstone-maker on
Salmon street, had queer experience
recently with a Chinese a short time
since. The celestial called upon
Rankin and negotiated a head-stone
for a departing friend, commencing
with, "You sable, doctor he killem
tonight, 1 come get slign, you plut'em
on, him letters, Chinese chalacters.
sable, to-mollow l give you dlate,
day, month, year, sable; when doctor
he killem." Mr.. Rankin had the
stone made and the next day the
heather again appeared with the in
formation that the "dloctor he no
killem yet. but say he sure killem to-
molIow." The next day he he again
showed up with the startling news
that the "dloctOr he no yet killem,"
and finally he informed the tombstone
dealer that the doctor had told him
that he wasn't going to kill his friend,
so he didn't need the tombstone. On
this showing a compromise was
effected, by the Chinaman paying
half-price for the stone and the dealer
keeping the same to work into a
marble mantel. An explanation of
the Chinaman's conduct is, that a
Chinese was i'll, and the physician in
attendance kept telling his friends
that he would die during the night, or
would not live until morning. The
Chinaman's way of wording it was
"The doctor he killem tonight" and
finally, 'Well, the doctor he no
killem." meaning that the man, strange
to relate, got well and therefore the
tombstone wasn't wanted after all

week from China, tells the following
story regarding the American bark,
City Cape: While the bark was in
Hong Kong Chinese painter was en-
gagged to paint her name on both sides
of her bow. On one side he duly pro-
duced in bold letters the legend,
CAPEC1TY, without any spacing be-
tween the words. sFhen he looked at
what he had done. and saw that it
was excellent, and noted carefully
that the "y" came nearest the stem, of
the ship. Full of this useful konwl-
edge 'he passed around his stage and
began to paint the same legend on
the other side. Remembering that
the "y' was forward and the &c" aft,
he set energetically to work and bes
fore long on the other bow of the
bark appeared the striking legend,
YTICEPAC. The last man was de-
lighted with his work, and the captain
intends to keep the name as it is
painted as al example of how severely
logical the Chinese mind Is

A round steak is the most econom-
ical and the most epicHrean of steaks.
No other cut approaches it in favor,
and while in a sirloin steak weighing
four pounds nearly ne-half is either
bone or fat, or inferior meat, every
atom of round steak Of that weight
is available. In the round steak the
best cut is midway between the chuck
and the shank, about where the leg is
the thickest. Never purchase any
thing but top round for other than
stewing purposes. A clear and hot
fire, a hot and slightly creased grid
iron or frying pan, an evenly cut steak,
a hot dish, hot plates and instant con-
sumption-there you have the whole
law and gospel of cooking and serv-
ing a beefsteak. A round steak is
better cooked in very hot pan than
upon a gridiron. Use no fat except
that which is on the meat. In turning
it stick the fork into the outer rim of fat,
never into the meat. Transfer to hot
dish containing butter, pepper and
salt, turn over once ON the way to the
table, and If there is any waiting to
be done. let your guest wait for the
steak, but never treat good piece of
meat so sliabbilyas to let it do the wait

Perhaps the smallest. town In the
world in which a newspaper is pub
lished is Orondo, in the Big Bend
country the home of the Orondo NelOS.
The village consists, of three not very
imposing buildings, one being used
as store, one as dwelling, and one
for the. printing office. The present
population comprises eight souls
four adult males, three women and a
little girl The town lies immediately
on the left bank of the Columbia,
where that grand river rushes between
steep mountains on the west and high,
abrupt bluffs on the east The COM
positor on the Ne1CS ''keeps batch" in
the little room occupied by the type
cases and a six column army press.
A kitchen table is used for an sim
posing stone" and the cook stove
serves to warm the office and fry the
bacon for both. editor and printer.
But one other house can be seen from
the ''town" and that is across the
river at the foot Of an al
most perpendicular mountain, which
towers abruptly fully 1000 feet above
the river, leaving barely enough level
space at the river bank for a house.
Where the patronage of the Neecs
comes in from the spectator can not
see, as there can not possibly be more
than a dozen persons living within a
radius of three miles from Orondo.
If the NelCS succeeds there; it certain
ly would seem that a paper ought to
make living anywhere. .

Fortunes in Newspapers.

The business of newspaper adyer-
tising has been in a process of evolu-
ton from the beginning until now,
and this process is still continuing.
At the commencement only few of
the simplest and shortest advertise
ments were published such as wants,
rewards for runaway slaves, of ships
sailing, and the like. The prices paid
for these insertions were merely nom-
inal, Make a bold and impetuous
jump from the eight by ten colonial
sheet with its insignificant attempts
at advertising to the remarkable New
York Herald that charged and re-
ceived for column advertisement on
its fifth page S100,500 for one year.
The Herald has published in its Sun
day edition as many as five thousand
advertisements in one issue. = and
what the Herald did ten years ago
other great journals are far exceeding
to-day. Not infrequently single ad-
vertiser has been known to make con-
tracts for over half a million dollars
in advertising in q year. The career
of the World of New York, Public
Ledger of Philadelphia, and the Chi
cago Neaps is astounding. Said Mr..
Drexell, the great banker, who held
an interest in the Public Ledger :
"T thought I knew what it was to
make money in banking, but that bus
iness is insignificant indeed compared
to the Public E. Ledger. business"
George W. Childs, its principal owner,
has, it is said, given away for beneyo-
lent purposes, many large fortunes,
the results. of proceeds he received
from the Ledger newspaper alone.

County superintendent Shively says
the position assumed by THE Historian
regarding the exchange of school

that the children with old school books
to exchange are supplied with the
corresponding new ones, the time for
transfer will be open. OF course this
does not apply to new pupils, purchas-
ing school books for the first time.

ONLY A QUESTION
OF TIME.


You may doubt it, but i'm
course of time you will ap-
prove the popular verdict by
going yourself where the
commercial tide sweeps the
trade to; you may trade else
where because habit makes
it natural; you may dismiss
this from your mind because,
well, perhaps, because you
don't think it worth while to
remember it; but in cOnrse
of time the cold truth will
force itself upon you, that
while you sweat and save in
one way, you are extrava-
CANT in another, and as soon
as you realize this fact you
will turn a new leaf and in
vestigate before you spend
your coin, and that is all /
ask of you. Investigate !!
Give me a chance to prove
to you that you can get fresh
'er goods where goods are
sold quick. and that you can
buy goods cheaper where
the enormous quantities sold
justify a comparatively
small profit and consequent
ly low prices. Perhaps it is
unnecessary to state here
what place l refer to, be-
cause the great majority of
AstOrians do say that
Herman Wise's
