TOOK THE WRONG MEDICINE.

Robert Stewart, of Petaluma, recently had
a queer experience. He writes:
"Carbuncles and boils afflicted my face and
neck for weeks. Finally procured bottle
Of one of the leading Sarsaparillas. To my
surprise IL made matters worse. This made
me lose faith in Sarsaparillas, but seeing a
statement that joys Vegetable sarsaparilla
dried up boils and face eruptions instead of
forcing more out, as the potash sarsaparillas
do, bought bottle. The effect was astonish-
ing. The carbuncles and boils began to dry
up, and in two weeks my face was as well and
smooth as ever. My brother also took bottle
with the same benefit. ROBERT STEWART,
Petaluma, Cal"
Explanatory Note.-The mineral, Iodidc of
Potash, which is the basis OF nearly all other
sarsaparillas, attacks the blood direct, hence
forces impurities through the skin, creating
more poils and pimples. Joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla acts oppositely. Its vegetable
alternatives stimulate the various secretive
organs and thus eliminate all impurities
through the natural channels, hence dries up
pimples and skin cruptions at once. The
above testimonial is case in point.

A Novel Advertising Scheme.

One Of the latest and most success.
ful advertising schemes is as follows
A lady receives letter written on
dainty paper, with an armorial crest
or something of the sort stamped on
1t. The letter, which bears all the
marks of having been written by a
woman OF exquisite refinement, be-
gins "Ma Chere Marie.n The chan
ces are that the lady's name Is not
Marie, but of course that only makes
her the more eager to read it. She
soon discovers from number of
chance illusions in the missiye that
1t was not intended for her, and she
at once comes TO the con clusion that
an acquaintance who had been writ
Ing to her and To another lady at the
same time had, by mistake, put the
two letters in the wrong envelopes.
This inference causes her To read the
letter with still more eager interest,
especially passage in which "Chere
Marie Is asked To be so good as to
order for the writer one of those
lovely sets of furniture from the Gel
ebrated firm of Cherry, Mohogany
n Co., which they are really almost
giving away. AS the letter Is only
signed "Jul!e," with no address
given, the request cannot, of course,
be complied with; but if the lady
who receives the letter doesn't at
snce visit the establishment of
Cherry, Nah ogany n Co, it is be-
'ause she is too i'll Ia do so.-New

DOES IT PAY TO RAISE HOGS2


Mr.. David Early, who lives in the
hills east of Salem, was ia Salem
Wednesday, selling his hogs just
butchered. He says that he was so
situated this year that he was able
to weigh the pigs before beginning
to feed and after they were dressed.
He gives Il valuable experience in
the profits of this branch of farm
product. Mr.. Early put up" six
teen head of hogs on October lst,
last, and on November 10th the
same were duly butchered, and he
says that he fed seventy bushels of
ground wheat and thirty bushels of
oats fed raw. The animals put 1875
pounds Of flesh during the time in
tervening between October lst and
November 10th. The oats, thirty
bushels, were worth 25 cents, or
$3.50; and seventy bushels of wheat
at 90 cents equaled $40, or IA total of
$40.50. The 1875 pounds of pork,
which sold at cents, made SS3.75,
leaving balance of $34. % as profits
after paying fair valuation for the
grain used. Mr.. Early sold his pork
product this year for 5 cents per
pound. We leave the reader to
judge rs to whether 1t pays to raise
pork,

A CHANCE FOR AN EXPLORER.
A Section of Washington Which Has
Never Been Visited by Man..


Never Been Visited by Man.
Washington has h,r great un-
/ known land like the interior of AT.
rica. The country shut in by the
Olympic mountains, which includes
an area of about 25O0 square miles,
has never, to the positive knowledge
of old residents of the territory, been
trodden by the foot of man, white
or Indian. These mountains rise
from the level country, within 10 or
15 miles from the straits of San Juan
de Fuca In the north, the Pacific
ocean in the west, Hoods canal in
the east and the basin of the Quinalt
lake in the south, and, rising to a
height of GOOO or 5000 feet, shut in a
vast unexplored area.
The Indians have never penetra-
ted it, for their traditions say that it
is Inhabited by very fierce tribe,
which none of the coast tribes dared
molest. Though it is improbable
that such q tribe would have existed
in this mountain country without
their presence becoming known to
the white men, no man has ever as
certained that it did not exist. White
men, too, have only vague accounts
of any man having ever passed
through this country, for investiga
ton of all the claims of travellers has
invariably proved that they have
only traverse its outer edges.
The most generally accepted theo
ry in regard to this country is that
it consists ofgreat valleys stretching
from the inward slopes of the noun
tains to great central basin. This
theory is supported by the fact that,
although the country around has
abundant rain and clouds constantly
hang over the mountain tops, all the
streams flowing toward the four
points of the compass are insignifi-
cant, and rise only on the outward
slopes of the range, none appearing
to drain the great area shut in by
the mountains. The fact appears to
support the theory that the streams
flowing from the inner slopes of the
mountains feed a great interior lake.
But what drains this lake? 1t must
have an outlet somewhere, and all
the streams pouring from the noun
tains rise on their outward slopes, it
must have subterranean outlet into
the ocean, the straits or the sound.
There are great discoveries in store
for some of Washington's explores.
A gentleman named Drew, now
at Olympia, states that he
has climbed to the summit of the
eastern range from Hoods canal, and
looking down could see great val
leys stretching toward the west. A
party of railroad prospectors claim
to have penetrated the interior, but
could give no account of it, and ap-
pear only to have skirted the outer
slopes 10 or Is miles from Hoods
canal. A party Of United States sol
diers is said to have traversed the
country from Port Townsend, but
no data are obtainable as to what
they saw.
Numerous attempts have been
made to organize exploring parties,
but they have invariably fallen
through, the courage of the projec-
tors oozing out ut the last moment.
There is fine opportunity for some
Of the hardy citizens of the Sound
10 acquire fame by unveiling the
mystery which wraps the land en-
,ircled by the snow-capped Olympic
Press.

Some Bad Appointments.

The New York Press, in double leads.
says that President Harrison's appoint
ments thus far are better than Mr..
Cleveland's were during a like period
of his administration, and it ap-
pears to derive good deal of satisfaction in
saying that tlis is because Mr.. Cleveland
having to make his selections from the
democratic party, had very little good ma
terial from which to choose officials but
that President Harrison, having the repub-
ican party, which has 'the vast majority
Of the character, intelligence and worth of
the country to select from, Is able to fill
the offices with a very superior class of
men.
One is inclined to think that the Press is
indulging in a silly boast when the bad ap-
pointments made by President Harrison
are considered. There are no Mannings,
Whitneys or Fairchilds in the Harrison
cabinet. The only members of it who had
previously been prominent in the public
service are Messrs Blaine AMI Window
Mr.. Blaine is a brilliant man, but not a safe
one and Mr.. WINDOW was taken from
the political grave in which he had been
buried by the people OF his own state. If
the other members possess special qualifica-
tons for public service, the fact has yet to
be made known, and it is generally conceded
that one of them owes his appointment TO
his energy and success in gathering
campaign funds rather than to his real
merits.
The most important foreign mission is to
be filled by Mr.. Robert Lincoln, gentle
man of some ability, but hardly the man
for the place There is nothing particularly
creditable in the appointments Of Messrs.
Reid and Halstead to France and Germany
respectively Their chief claim to recogni-
tion is in the fact that they have been dill
gent in their efforts to keep up sectional
strife. 1t is doubtful if Mr.. Reid will do any
thing to increase the respect of the people
of England for America and American in
stitutions, and Mr.. Halstead has been re-
jected by the Senate.
First Assistant Postmaster General Clark
sons appointment is hardly one to be proud
of. Did he not have some connection with
the disreputable business of procuring the
mailing list of the Voice Messrs Fred
Grant and Walker Blaine were not ap-
pointed for their eminent fitness for their
respective positions. Commissioner Of Pen
sions Tanner, according to report, is in
capable of discharging the duties of his
office satisfactorily. 1t is said that Mr.
Paul Fricke, United States marshal for
Western Texas was appointed because he
was very active in trumping up evidence
for the republicans in the investigation of
an election in Texas, and Marshal Kur-
sheedt, of Louisiana, is said to have a rather
questionable business record.
These aud other Harrison appointments
don't seem to sustain the position of the
Press.

A Down East Rustler.


Mr.. Charles E. Raymond of Boston, one OF
the trustees of the Lewiston mill property with
whom our Lewiston and Auburn business men
have important relations, now, is one of the
most interesting men in Boston. He is fat
and Jolly, talks business for five minutes and
then tells story, and is the last man in the
world whom stranger would take for
"hustler'-whO is generally supposed to be
scrawny person trained down to bantam
weight But Mr. Raymond is a hustler, and in
the noble art of hustling has few equals in
Boston.
When in California at one time he saw a big
ranch that he liked and inquired the price. 1t
was 81 100000. The agent controlling the
city, Mr.. Raymond went to this gentleman
about O'Clock one morning and asked if he
could have the refusal of the property at
81 t0a 900 for twenty -four hours.
''Yes-but what good will that do you?'
You give me a certificate of refusal and
See
The agent made out the paper Raymond
called a herdic and set out.
That very night he gave big dinner at
Young's to the subscribers to the enterprise
every dollar of the stock having been taken
during the day Raymond had placed it all be-
tween a. m and p. m.
Another of his feats which gave him the
sobriquet of CHARLES River Railroad Ray
mOnd " was the construction of the Charles
river opposition horse-railroad line. Starting
ont to go to church with his wife one morning,
he hailed a hOrse-c4r, but the car was filed and
the driver wouldn't stop; another car came up
with the same result. Finally Mr.. and Mrs.
Raymond succeeded in boarding crowded car
and in standing up all the way.
After church he said TO his wife, I'm going
to build another railroad out Lere-I've been
thinking OF il during the whole service. "

Answering the question. "What of the
future of the Democratic party!" Congress
man McAdoo. of New Jersey, says: 1.-THE
republicans have a bare possession of the
government; a mere technical lease for
which, it is said, they paid liberal rent in
advance. They have distrustful landlord,
with an exacting and critical agent in the
shape of strong minority in both houses,
and the good example of a departing
tenant, who has left the premises in better
condition than he found them. The Demo
cratic party hasn't changed any of its opin-
ions ON public issues, and is neither apollo
giving nor retreating 1t has faith in the
people, and feels quite sanguine of defeat
ing the republican candidate in 1892, who
ever he may be-" This is quite neat way
of speaking of both the republican frauds
of 1883 and the democratic hopes for 1892.
