A Haunted House.

This body of ours has been likened to a tene-
ment. 1t often has haunted apartment-the
stomach. Scared by the eldrch sprite, dyspep-
STA, digestion flies and refuses to return. What
can break the SPELL what can raise the ban laid
upon the unhappy organs? We answer unhesi-
tatingly, Hostettcrs Stomach Bitters, and we
are warranted in the response by the recorded
testimony OF myriads covering period of over
a third of a century. \ course of the Bitters

A Famous Cotton Claim.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Court
of Claims to-day settled the famous
Austin cotton claim. This was claim
for about 100000 for cotton seized in
Louisiana and Texas and rested upon
the loyalty of Sterling Austin, de-
ceased, father Of the claimants II also
involved the question whether the
general amnesty act of 1868 removed
his disabilities inasmuch as he was
proven disloyal. The court decided
the latter point in the negative. The
court dismissed the petition on the
ground that the loyalty of Sterling
Austin had not been established. A
supplementary opinion, however, was
given, fixing the value OF the property
seized at $59,2S7.

GROWTH OF A BIG BooK.-When
Webster's Unabridged was first pub
lished in one volume, it was u com
paratively small book. Some years
after an addition was made of 1900
Pictorial Illustrations, A Table Of
Synonyms, and an Appendix OF New
Words that had come into use. A
few years later came an entirely new
revised edition Of large size, with 5000
Pictorial Illustrations then after an
interval OF a few years, Bic
graphical Dictionary of nearly 10000
Names, and Supplement Of nearly
5000 New Words were added; and
now there has come another new and
most valuable addition, A Gazetteer
of the World, of over $4,000 Titles
The work is now not only the best
Dictionary of the words of the Ian
guage, but is Biographical Diction,

Savan Million Dollars.

New York, June 13,-The Tennes-
see Coal, Iron and Railroad Company
has practically accepted an offer of
100000 for a portion Of its coal and
iron lands in Tennessee The sale is
made in order to tighten the compa-
ny's load OF debt. Seven millions is al
most exactly the amount Of the com
pany's liabilities, including the 81 000,.
900 preferred stock None of this is
redeemable on call, and the alternative
will be presented OF buying up the
bonds on the market or of investing
the receipts OF the sale in such a way
as to earn the interest on the bond;
until their maturity. The former plan
is said to be favored by Mr. Platt, but
this depends upon the possibilities of

Cold Rolled Steel.

Chicago Trbune.l
Anew Industry which promises to
become OF vast Importance is the roll
ing of cold steel bars into wire. A
few yeas ago wire manufacturers and
metallurgists would have said such a
thing was an imp)ssibility; that cold
rolling would destroy the fibre of the
steel and render wire so brittle as TO
be OF no practical value Experience
however, mas proved these pre-conceiv-
ed notions to be incorrect The roll
ing of cold steel wire is now accom-
plished with ease, and instead of the
wire being weakened b. the process
practical tests have demonstrated
thatits tensile strength is nearly dou
bled In other words, the tensile
strength Of hot drawn steel wire is

MONEY SENSE.

The origin and. nature of the
faculty which, for want of better
name, may be called smoney
sense" is to the majority of man
kind an lnscrutable mystery. 1t
neither implies nor discredits the
possession of other Intellectual at
tributes. Along with it some men
possess varied and brilliant intel
lectuality; others, except as to this
faculty, are dull, stupid and obtuse.
In some cases it bears the marks
of genius, while in others it is
hardly distinguishable from brute
instinct.
Money sense is the faculty
which enables or compels its pos
SCISSOR to get money and hold on
to it. 1t is an exploded notion
that industry. economy and self
denial are the groundworks of
money sense. There are plenty
of men, who, from the day of their
berth to the day of their death,
never over-work themselves, or
practice self-denial, or take any
pains to forecast the future, or
practice economy in.any shape,
who nevertheless get ahead and
keep ahead, while there are others
who drudge and save and calcu-
late, and are eternally looking
forward to and saving up for a
rainy day, and it is as much as a
bargain if their assets will pay for
a decent burial when their time
comes for joining the majority.
Be it understood, not all who ac-
qnire fortunes are to be credited
with money sense. Striking a
bonanza, for instance, is but the
lucky outcome of a gambling ex.
pertinent. But to get more money
for the hole from which the bo
nanza has been taken than was
made in working the bonanza, is
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1890-02-07
considered money-sinsical.

One man projects vast mercan-
tile enterprise, discovers new
channels of trade, and does the
work of a thousand in keeping the
world in motion, and gains but
little if anything for himself, while
another starts a family grocery
ten miles from anywhere and in a
few years is rolling in wealth.
One will start with a million, loan
it at big interest all the time,
and die a financial wreck, while
another will within a few years
put up a half a dozen brick blocks
from the sale of beer at five cents
a glass.
Some men will go into a stag
nant town, and in once walking
through il will see and seize a
score of opportunities for making
fortune, where thousands ap-
parently just as bright have hung
around for years, willing and anx-
ious to do anything that might
offer, and could no more see a
chance than SO many moles or
bats Jay Gould will take a, road
worth million, mortgage it for
two million, run it for ten years
without dividend, and make
twenty million by the transact
ion.
And so it goes; money sense is
like lightning, striking few and
missing multitude. But the
praafcal question is, can it be
cuItivated2 If so, why would it
mot be wise to create classes for
instruction in this desirable branch
Of knowledge in our public schools?
And seriously, it would be long
step in the right direction if boys
could be taught to have money
and save it. Any boz can be
economical who has nothing, but
not one in ten thousand can have
it without being crazy to spend it.
Perhaps and right there is the
turning point between having and
lacking money sense in after life.
The thought is worth thinking
over.
