Is it too early to think of
fine Linens for Thanksgiving
dinners: Thanksgiving is only
two weeks distant, you know.
We receive a shipment of
Messrs. John S. Brown & Sons
fine Linens direct from Belfast
every month. A large shipment
is expected at the custom house
Tomorrow. The assortment
offine Linens is head and shoul-
ders above anything in the
Northwest, and fully equal to
any shown in the largest East
ern cities. Importing them
direct from the makers, it
stands to reason that our prices
must be the lowest.

Tho army OF the United States con-
sists OF 2.l67 commissioned officers
and q sufficient number OF enlisted
mon to keep them In practice. This
number Is fixed by general law at
30, 600; for several years Congress has
boon In the habit OF appropriating for
only 20, 600 and IL does not seem likely
10 got out OF the habit. although tho
military authorities are generally ask
Ing for at least tho statutory 80, 600.
Omitting a considerable number OF en-
listed mon who are performing civilian
duties the adjutant general OF the army
reports the actual strength OF the
army as 20,145. So that there are
not ten real private soldiers for every
officer this fact inspires n great deal
OF wit on the part OF paragraph writ
ers who do not understand what our
army Is for. We have never been In
danger OF any sudden foray from Can
nda or Mexico. our army would do us
precious little good n our harbors
were invaded by hostile feet, and for
several years past the Indian has
ceased from troubling IA and the town
site speculator Is at rest We have
no fighting for our army to do. But
the organization OF an army Is not an
easy thing and SO we obey the in
junction. In time OF peace to prepare
for war. just far enough TO keep up n
military organization OF two thousand
officers and the smallest number OF
enlisted men that will permit the
officers to keep in military practice.
n regiment OF infantry with 81 officers
and hardly 400 enlisted men seems
pretty top-heavy. but the 81 officers
form regimental organization around
which 1000 enlisted men could be
arranged as easily as 400.

Northern Prisons.

There were no prisons In the North
that at all resembled Andersonville and
the other rebel prisons. In all the
Northern prisons were substantial
warm barracks built, the prisons were
supplied with blankets and an abund-
ance OF wholesome food. The prisons
were kept under close surveillance. IL is
true. but every effort was made 10
have them properly fed and sheltered.
The fact that 20. rebel prisoners
died in prison Is explained by the
enormous number OF those who were
captured. In all we took more than
$50, 600 prisoners during the war. of
whom but 26, 600 died. On the other
hand IL never will be known how
many Union prisoners died In the
hand OF the rebels. The books OF
statistics put the number at 20, 1873.
but this only has reference to the com
paratively small number who wero
found on the imperfect rolls captured
from the Confederates Tho War De-
partment estimates that the total num-
Der was about $1,000. This was about
one-half OF the whole number cap
turcd. while the deaths of the rebels
In our hands made up less than 10 per
cent.

How the Former Got Square with
the Latter for an Injury.

How the Former Got square WIN
the Latter for an Injury.
There is monkey In the geological
gardens In Washington that has
gained considerable noteriety by his
ability to get square, on an adver-
sary. His particular enemy was
.cockatoo. and this Ia the way the strife
came about:
One day tho cage OF the cockatoo
was put on top OF the cage OF the mon
key. who Is very intelligent and a
great favorite with visitors. The
monkey undisturbed by the presence
OF his gorgeous neighbor went dying
about. as usual. most actively. In the
course OF his movements his tail went
through tho top OF his cage and lay
against the side OF Miss Cockatoo's
cage She Immediately caught IL with
beak and claws, and the poor monkey
screamed and struggled TO free him
slef. When he did at last free himself
the hair was torn from his tail, and
for some days no suffered. The cock
atoo was moved across tho aisle. and
the monkey seemed TO understand who
was responsible for his hurt.
Somebody had given the monkey a
small piece of mirror which he great
ly enjoyed. while at the Same time he
was greatly puzzled at the sudden APP
pearance of neighbor. who was evil
IDENTIFY OF his own race. but whom ho
could not coax from his hiding place.
One day as no held the mirror. a ray
OF sunlight struck IL and blinded him
for a minute. The reflection danced
about from place to place To the mon
keys delight and at last struck the
cockatoo's cage VINO gave frightened
scream. as IL struck her eyes. for IL
blinded her. The monkey by this
time had learned TO direct its rays and
for over half an hour the cockatoo was
chased from side TO side and from top
TO bottom OF her cage by the binding
fash. tho monkey evidently enjoying
her fright He could not be diverted
until passing cloud made the bit OF
mirror useless rs means OF torture,
and the monkey again found himself
confronted by the queer neighbor
whom he could not touch. but whose
face SO perfectly reelected his own
feelings.

rhe Flag ,ha, rrlpped up noo,h.

A handsome mahogany case con-
tanning silk flag with gold bullion
fringe occupies nearly oil the available
space OF the wall In the southern part
of the room OF Capt. Cobaugh at tho
Treasury Department. Every visitor
20 the Department Is shown the flag
and attention il generally invited 10 a
tear In one OF It's stripes. The flag
formerly belonged TO the Treasury
Guards, volunteer organization
formed during the war for emergen-
oies that might arise at the Capital
OF the Nation. After the fall OF Rich
mond, and the night that President
Lincoln went TO Ford's Theator. the
flag. which was then attached TO a
stout rosewood Flagstaff. was borrowed
by John T.. Ford for decorative use
about the box occupied by the Presi-
dent. When the assassin fired the
shot whose echo was heard throughout
tho civilized world. he leaped from the
box. and In doing so caught the rowel
OF his spur In the silken folds OF the
starry banner protruding from the
Presidents box. That slip probably
cost Booth his live. for the flag tripped
him and caused the broken leg which
impeded him In his efforts TO escape
and rendered him an easy victim for
Serg't Boston Corbett's rifle bali
subsequently, the flag was returned TO
the Treasury Department, and during
the few days that President Johnson
had his Office In the Department the
flag was In corner OF the apartment.
II was removed, however. by Capt.
Cobaugh TO It's present rcsting-pla
and the staff was made into three canes
and presented 10 officials OF the Treas
ury Department.

Elias n. Timm, LIST N. j. l.. A. says
that In December, 1868, after being in
the service more than two years, he
and his chum obtained "a furlough and
went to New York City 10 enjoy them
selves. Before leaving the camp he
promised the boys that he would bring
them some good whiskey. At the ex-
piration OF the furlough he bought n
gallon OF old Bourbon, put IL in his
valise. and took IL 10 Washington.
He also had with him tin bucket full
OF butter. When he and his chum ar
rived at the boat that was TO take them
10 Alexandria. they found that the
guard was searching every mans lug
gage. After considering n few mo-
ments the comrade took the butter
out of the bucket. wrapped IL up In
paper poured the whiskey out OF the
jug into the bucket and threw the Jug

Of the bucket on hard, he held IL under
his arm sidewise. and in this manner
succeeded la passing the officers.
When he arrived at Alexandria and
embarked on the cars for the front,
ney had TO undergo another examin-
alton. but he again succeeded in elud-
ing the officers. and reached the camp
safely with his whiskey, which all
evaporated about two hours afterward.

There are several measures not strictly
sanitary, but most necessary, to which the
sanitarian should give heed before his own
special work occupies his attention. If the
officers of the district have been lost or in
any way rendered Inefficient, ,astrong govern
ment must be st once organized, and the
district placed under efficient control, that
lawlessness and anarchy do not prevail.
At Johnstown the people named ''dicta
tor,n who decided all questions Of govern
ment and kept the region in order The
distress which lawlessness produces must
not be tolerated. The organization of re-
lief corps to suceor the injured and dying,
and to organize temporary hospitals, should
receive the next attention Of the santa
rian. So soon as the government is assured,
and temporary relief is progressing satis-
factorily, he may advise the proper com
mittee as TO what will beneedediu in the way

OUR GLORIOUS COUNTRY.
The sua Never Sets on the United states
of America.

The Sua Never Sets on the United states
of America.
BY study Of the latitudes and longi-
tudes on the coast one can see that the
sun never sets on the United States That
has been called the glory of Great Britain
and was immortalized in one of the
speeches of Daniel Webster. Now it is
the glory of our own country, too. Since
the purchase of Russian America, the
farthest Aleutian island, stretching out
toward Japan, is as far west of San Fran
cisco as Eastport, Maine, is east of San
Francisco If you will look at the map
you will see that our republic extends
through 1876 degrees of longitude, or more
than half way around the world. When
the sun sets on the Aleutian island it is an
hour high on the eastern coast of Maine,
and both the setting and rising sun shin
ing on American citizens of the republic.
1t was the Republican party, in its
thoughtful regard of the country and its
destiny, that thus placed San Francisco in
the center of the republic east and west,
instead of being on the extreme verge of
the western border The possibilities of
Alaska are wonderful. Already it has
reaped to us more than it cost, and thou
sands of millions more lie in its mineral
wealth and fisheries
