The Old Year.

In compliance with custom
about as old as the mule joke
(which protrudes back through
the ages and comes to a frazzled
end in remote antiquity we pro
coed to moralize and plagiarize ON
the "Old Year" 1t has already
been said by 399, 467, 4S6 reliable
newspapers, more or less, that the
year 1888 is numbered with the
past, and this great and over
whelming harmony of opinion
makes this statement solid basis
on which to build which to
stand and ratiociDate, as it were,
on the Usefulness and unrecalla-
bility of time. The old year Is
gone never to return. Father
Time moved It away with his an
cient briar hook and it is not; yet
all is not lost. The memory of
many happy days will still remain;
and many plans and hopes and
aims and store bills and promisso-
rY notes that had their incipiency
in 1888, may fructify largely be-
yond our expectations in 1889.
Tie year passed was filled with
important events affecting the des-
tiny of men and nations. It saw
our great national contest for lead
ership peaceably settled and final

saw the official returns come in
from West Virginia. Itsaw many
patriotic American citizens ex-
planning the tariff on the stump
while their wives were splitting
stove wood on log. 1t saw many
men in the act Of starting to pay
up their subscriptions and then
again saw them in the act of not
doing so. 1t saw our national Ar
mazda two secondhand ships as
good as new swoop down on the
proud black republic of Hayti and
make it own up that on the high
seas a white man has equal rights
with one of color. 1t saw Belva

GenAemen.-Last year while
living in Macon I contracted blood
poison, and placed myself under
the care of a fine physician. He
gave me the usual course Of potash
and mereUry for two months, but
this was too slow a process. and I
was induced to try Swift's Specific.
When l began taking the medi-
cine pimples and sores were APP
pearing all over me. The S. S. S.
however, quickly checked these,
and in a few weeks my skin was
perfectly smooth and without a
scar. When the six bottles were
consumed l felt that I was ahso-
lutely well. ! know that S. S. S

The suggestions presented in
the following paragraph from the
Statesman are worthy tue atten-
ton Of our law makers: Scarcely
a term of the district courts of our
state is ever held that does not
furnish striking illustration of
the inequalities of the penalties
enforced under our criminal laws.
The man who steals COW Or picks
a pocket is often sentenced to
many good years of servitude,
while murderer, bank officer, a
county official, a railroad or ex-
press official may .misappropriate'
and get away with thousands of
dollars of other peoples money,
and yet be sentenced to only one,
two or three years in the peniien-
tiary. The kpovledge Of these
things should make our people ask
themselves if the convictions under
our laws are Just and impartial"

The horse hair snake is a common
source Of error The creature that is
usually called by that name originates
and has life's history as follows: A
small flesh colored mite is in water. II
changes TO purplish lead color and
comes to the top of the water, where
it sports for time, and when looking
across water of still evening, espe-
cially if looking toward the setting sun,
one can see masses of these tiny
creatures that look like smoke on the
water. When they reach this stage
of development they leave the water
and get out on the grass. Here, as
opportunity offers, they attach them
selves to the feet of large insects-es-
pecially of grasshoppers, katydids, etc.
The legs of these insects being hollow,
they crawl up them, where they grow
until they fill the legs and sometimes
the cavities of the bodies of these
large insects. This accounts for the
fat, clumsy condition of many of these
insects. After rain, in which the in
sects drown, the full fedged horse
hair snakes come forth to delight the
small boy. and to interest the student

Hogs Eyesipllt Saved.

Mr.. William Kerns not long since
had a visit from a friend from the
east. who wished to purchase land
and locate somewhere in this state.
Mr.. Kerns sent his friend out to look
at the Umpqua valley, and he return
ed with wonderful tale of the sec.
ton he visited.
He said that he visited a farmer
who had great drove of hogs, all OF
which had lost their tails. He inquir
ed how this had happened, and the
farmer said the caudal appendages
had been amputated, and when it was
asked why this was done, he was told
it was to prevent the animals from be-
coming blind. This startling an.
nouncement led to further inquiry
and explanation.
The farmer stated that the soil on
his farm was what is known as black
mud. 1t is very rich and also very
adhesive, and the pigs in wallowing
around get their tails daubed with it,
and clod finally accumulates on
each pigs tail, which grows by accre-
ton and accumulation to an immense
size, and becomes so heavy that it
drags back the pigs skin SO far that
the unfortunate animal is no longer
able to shut it's eyes, and soon becomes
blinded from the glare Of the sun. By
cutting off the pigs tail this catastro
phe is avoided, and the pig soon grows
fat.-Portland Oregonian.

the likelihood OF achieving this by some

postage stamps which has taken him
twelve years to get together my col

sigh, land it never will be. Why2
Because it would require 500, 900 to
make it so. There are about 6, 900 diff
ferent descriptions Of postage stamps in
existence. The museum of the Berlin
postoffice alone contains between 4, 600
and 5000 specimens, Of which half are
from Europe and the remainder divid-
ed between Asia, Africa. America and
Australia Some of the stamps bear a
coat of arms and other emblems, inn
partially borrowed from the heavens
above. the earth beneath and the
waters under the earth, stars. eagles,
lions, horses, serpents. railway trains.
dolphins and other fearful wild fowl.
There are, moreover. the vignette eff
figies of fiveemperors, eighteen kings,
three queens. one grand duke and many
presidents. Some of these stamps can
not be purchased for $4,000, while
others cannot be purchased for any
sum. tell you the life of stamp
