manuf factnre is interesting. The width
of the paper Is equal to the length of a

through molten asphalt and is then rolled
upon mandred of wood, the size Of which
determines the diameter of the pipe.

A FREE. FERRY.

We believe that the time has come
franchise of the ferry boat running be-
tween this city and Rockland and make
it free. We understand the owners are
willing to sell on very reasonable terms.
The coast would be a mere cagtelle,
when the advantages that would GER
tainly ensue are taken into account.
The Klickitat valley is naturally trib-
utary to this city. 1t is immensely rich
in agricultural resources. With all the
disadvantages arising from the present
cost of ferriage the merchants of The
Dalles derive large revenue from the
farmers of Klickitat comfy and free
ferry would greatly increase this traffic.
The people of The Dalles will remember
the immense amount of wheat that was
hauled to this city last fall when Mr..
Curtis offered the inducement of free
ferriage to all that sold their grain to
him. The merchants and hotel men
will remember that great deal of the
money paid out by Mr.. Curtis was spent
in this city. The farmers of Klickitat
county are most desirable class of GUS
toners. In fact they are, as every mer-
chant in this city knows, exceptionally
SO. They buy freely and largely and
are remarkable for prompt payment.
A Dalles merchant would rather credit a
Klickitat man, other things being equal,
than one from any part of the country
tributary to this city. 1t is the part OF
wisdom to cultivate a trade like when
it can be controlled at so little cost.
The Centerville Leader has been plead.
ing for free ferry for some time. From
an able article published in its last
weeks issue we extract the following:
1t is certain that a free ferry will helI
the merchants of The Dalles, as well a.
the merchants and farmers of our coun
ty, by putting money in the pockets o
the farmer. 1t is also certain that if Tht
Dalles does not help to maintain thii
line there will never be one run and i
is also certain that if The Dalles is no
brought to see this, and act, that som,
besides her men will buy our produce a
cheaper rate, and that't money vii
pass through other banks than those il
her limits% Th
Leader is run in the interest of the farm
er and does not believe in 1000 farmer
selling 100000 bushels of 65 cent grail
to one or two Klickitat merchants for 81
ST., *We want a fre
ferry and depend on the good judgmen
of the citizens of The Dalles to help u
out.

A Wonderful Frog Story.

While large pine log was being sawed
into lumber at Brown & Halls sawmi1l
near Acton, Ont, after the outside slab
and one board had been cut off, and
while the workmen were turning over
the log preparatory to 'ssquaring" it,
they were surprised to see large toad
poke his head out of hole, where he
was imbedded, and where he had barely
escaped being cut up by the saw.
How the creature ever got there is a
mystery, as he was completely encased
in the wood, with no possible means of
ingress or egress., AS the log was the
fourth or fifth up from the butt of the
tree, his position must have been at least
fifty or sixty feet from the ground.
There is but one way of accounting for
the fact that he was found in the posi-
ton named. He had grown up with the
tree from infancy, and was probably
hundreds of years old when the saw
awoke him from his long nap.
The animal was quite fat, and nearly
as large across as mans hand. The
tree in which he was found was perfect
1y sound, with the exception of a de
cayed spot about a foot in length below
the hollow place in which he was i'm
bedded. Louis Republic

Have Plenty Air in the House.

Itin't drugs or medicine that is needed
at all;i it is plenty of the purest air that
can be had. Open the windows and the
doors, clean out the cellar and ,ventilate
it thoroughly, remove the dampness, the
mustiness, the ancient odor, the smell
of decay which greets the nostrils
when one enters from the health
giving atmosphere out of = doors.
Never mind if the outer air bears the
taint of the gas house, the manufactory
on. some other unpleasant thing; it is also
mingled with the health and strength
giving forces of nature, and is certainly
better for. the human system than the
same air which has been shut up and
contaminated for an indefinite period
with no chance for purifcation.
Don't mind, even, if a little dust il
brought !. in; a few. minutes with the
duster will put the whole house in per
feet order again, and even at the worst
dust is not half so bad as disease. And
as for the fear Of drauGhts, with cold.
and a thousand resultant evils follow

twentieth is easily avoidable.- = Good

The following advertisement, published
by prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as punishment for sin:
'Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a sever cold? We will tell
you. To cure cold qickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in, her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as punishment for some indiscre-
ton, you are to be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is a dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by a profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? It is only necessary
to take Chamberlain Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
most cases will efectually counteract it
and cure what would have been a severe
cold within one or two days time. Try il
and be convinced" Fifty cent bottles fol

venerabre vanity.


The vanity that survives the dscay Of
every personal charm is, of all foibles,
the most ridiculous One can hardly
blame beautiful woman for rejoicing
in the admiration to which her mirror
tells her she has Alright, or for setting of
to the best advantage the physical per-
fections with which heaven has endowed
her; but the withered grandam who was
once Hebe is not excused by her ante
cedents for attempting the role of Hebe
in spite of faded cheeks, lack luster eyes
and hair that has deprecated from gold
to pewter and is lacquered over to con-
ceal the change.
Looking glasses tell the truth to three
score as to sixteen. They reflect saffron
as faithfully as rose, and when the saf-
from is overlaid with manufactured
bloom they tell the enameled elder to
her face that it is unnatural. And what
the mirror says silently society repeats
with a sneer. 1t is impossible to mistake
rouge for the tint of nature. The inn
posture is as apparent to every observer
as if Beware of paint were written on
the forehead of the pink saucered Lady.
Pale young women as well as sallow
old ones are much given to coloring
their cheeks in this age of personal
artifice. Hundreds of girls between the
ages of 16 and 20 paint their faces at
least as often as they clean their teeth.
Never were there more counterfeits of
nature in circulation than in this our
day. 1t seems TO be the fashion to be
spurious. York Ledger.
