NEW ADvERTIsEmRNTs

PORTLAND, July %, 1890.
T<HERE are people
in this world who
shudder at the
mere thought of making
their home artistic"
+. They have in mind some
dwelling whose occupants
move gingerly about with
the caution of an equilibrist
in awful fear of disturbing
something or other from its
carefully adjusted balance.
There are some decora-
tors who, to furnish a room
properly must have it so
correct and precise that it
becomes painful if any
thing is thrown out of its
geometric symmetry. It's
a false notion, that of
treating a room that is to
be lived in as if it were a
square or oblong space to
be filled with SO many dol
lars worth of furniture and
carpets, curtains, etc. 1t
isn't the gathering of a
quantity of expensive fur
nishings placed by mathe-
NAUTICAL rule or even spaces
that makes the room home
like and comfortable and
attractive. 1t is the COM
bination of different and
original ideas, a grouping
of colors and tints and ma
terials, a harmony of all
that's bright and suggest
i've and suitable that
makes the fitting of a room
a satisfaction, and the
straightest way to arrive at
such a result is by the en-
ployment of taste and
judgement and knowledge
of the fitness of things.
1t is a part of the bust
ness of our draperies de-
partment to plan the ar
rangement of house fur
nishings and decoration of
interiors.
Sketches and designs
are submitted, estimates of
cost made and suggestions
for the treatment of any
room from parlor to attic
are afforded. Besides this
there's a stock here of the
newest and choicest and
best of all that's obtainable
in the way of curtains,
draperies and upholstery
fabrics; and a force of
skilled workers whose SER
vices are always at your
command.

How to take Sample Beets.

Parties wishing to have samples of
sugar beets analyzed will find valuable
information in the following bulletin of
the South Dakota experiment station,
which has recently been issued:
When the beets appear to be mature
(September Is to October Is, according
to the latitude and time of plant1ng) and
before any second growth can take place,
take a sample of beetsb by gathering every
plant in an average row. Cut the top
off without lnlurng the beet, and throw
the beets promiscuously in pile and
divide the pile into two parts. This sub
division may be continued until there
are about twenty-four beets in pile. OF
these twenty-tour select eight of medium
size. Be careful not to select the largest
or smallest. Wrap the beets carefully in
paper, put your name thereon and
number them. Sew the eight beets up
in cotton bag and attach shipping
tag thereto, and send by express to Jas.

.'ocab is caused by little parasite which
fastens itself upon the back of the sheep

one OF the component parts Of the blood
from it. The parasite seems to thrive
best upon sheep the poorer it may be-
come. Upon fat sheep i. does not pros

unfit for food, On sheep in poor con
dition, however, 1t prevents them taking
on more flesh, and may reduce them SO
they die; the wool also drops off along
the back where the little parasite works
There are several remedies, and by
proper attention the disease may be com
pletely eradicated. Dipping in an
arsenical or sulphurical preparation is
efficacious. \ strong tobacco dip will
also kill them. The sheep should be
thoroughly dipped twice. about three
weeks apart. The sheep industry is
growing SO that disease should he com

kota Which were slightly afflicted and

WOULD LIKE TO RECIPROCATE.

Havana Chamber Of Commerce Asks
the Minister of Colonies to Negotiate
Treaty With the United States.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.--An address and
resolutions passed by the Havana cham
ber Of commerce favoring reciprocity
with the United States has been re-
ceived at the state department. The
address is to the minister of the colonies
and treats of the reform Of the Spanish
tariff laws. The financial condition of
Cuba is referred to as one which is "far
from being prosperous and which may
become even worse than it now is if, as
is possible, the principle of reciprocity
is definitely adopted in the tariff Of the
United States, with which nation our
commercial relations are so important,
and if the changes made in our tariff
are not such as to correspond with that
reform" The address urges upon the
minister of colonies the Importance of
promptly meeting the situation by a re-
ciprocity treaty with the United States.
Especially is this urged to keep abreast
of Brazil, who is prompt to take advant-
age Of the opening for Il market in the

hundred ard seventytiv disability and
death claims to the total Of nearly $780,
600 have been paid during the year. Of
the total claims, over geo resulted from

laid upon the fact that 1870 Of the deaths
resulted from the coupler now in use
and that the remainder of the accidents
were almost entirely traceable to the
fact that the post Of duty Of the brake
men is on the top Of the cars. The re-
port Of the grand secretary will deal at

the ground will be dug from around the
foundation by degrees and shored up
