REMovISG CINDER FROM THE EYX.-The
proper way to get cinder out of the eye,
is to draw the upper lid down over the
lower utilizing the la.hes of the lower as q
broom. that it may sweep the surface Of the
former and thus get rid Of the intruder. Or,
gently drawing the lid away from the globe
pass clean camers hair brush--or fold Of
suft silk handkerchief-two or three times
between them. This procedure will, in
nearly all cases, suffice; when it does not,
the services of n physician arc necessary.
1t is a remarkable fact that a very minute
body will give rise to intense pain, and after
it has been extracted, the sensation remains
for an hour or more. After the intruder is
out gently bathe the lids every fifteen min
utcs in iced water to the feeling subsidies.

l As matter of fact, the beer now sold taken as whole, is not nearly as good as it once was. And if inquiry is made among Germans in this country it will be found
 that much less of this, their national drink, is consumed by them than there was a
 decade ago. They will testify that they
 prefer ale, as the beer of nowadays causes
 headache and variety of other uncom-
 fortable symptoms which they never felt
 when drinking that of old times. The rea- son for this is very evident keen compe-
 tition has led to the study of cheap meth ods of production. There has been much
 "cutting of prices, , and the beer now sent out from many of the great breweries is designedly poor. All of the agents used in the manufacture of this drink which passes for beer are, of course, only known to the manufacturers of it, but others know what some of the spurious ingredients are. Corn is used for barley resin is also fre- quently used, while very cheap and pos |sibly poisonous quality of salicylic acid is the popular agent employed to prevent souring. As for the substitutes for hops, brewers keep them we'll concealed It is known, however, that there are some prep arations of which are called Chop substi- tutes, " which consist of glucose and strych- nine. Their manufacturers will, of purse, deny this, but it is fact, nevertheless, proved by chemical analysis. Strychnine is an intense bitter substance, and that is the reason why it is used. Of course, all brewers are not dishonest, nor do all pro- duce beer nnwholesome by reason of sub stitution, but there is. no tgainsaying that not few of them make as cheap beer as they can and retain their customers. And cheap beer is absolutely unfit for con- sumption.

Oregon Mining Interests.

The cottage Grove Leader reports
the discovery Of a rich lead in the
old Bohemia mining district in
Lane county. 1t says: A very
rich discovery was made at Bohe-
mia, July 10, lS9O,in which DR.. Ogles-
by, DR.. Hammell, DR.. Taylor, J. E.
Kennedy, II. d, Pearson and Ma
jor Fleming are the lucky owners.
The mine is named the Annie. Ar
rangements are being made to erect
a mill for working up the quartz.
The rock is very even when NOR
tared and paDned out, and the deep
er the better. They mortared out
a piece of rock that would not weigh
pound which when panned out
contained over s.. Other rock
nearer the surface and bowlders that
have slid down the mountain assay
81 to 81 per pound. At this rate it
would assay from $1,000 to $4,000 per
ton. This is no doubt one Of the
richest discoveries in history. There
is a seven.foot lode of this rich ore,
and there are already over fifty tons
in sight. If a mill is put in this fall
it will take out money by the sack
full. The gold is fine flour gold and
heavy, worth about SIS per ounce.
Jacob Arndt and Joe Davis, who
are sinking coal shaft on the John
Day river, report their work pro-
crossing with satisfactory results,
saws the Astorian. They have now
reached depth of ll5 feet, and are
going down at an average of fifteen
feet per day. They have a steam
drilling machine which they pro-
cured at cost Of $l4OO and which Is
doing excellent work. The material
tbey are penetrating is OF a hard
sapdrock, gritty enough for grind
stones Arndt says, and tough on
the drills. Liberal quantities Of gen,
nine coal are found at intervals ana
tbe signs are fattering for a rich
Iadge when the right level Is
reached.
