That Paris accepts the horse as a

is but one of the gastronomic eccen
tricities by which she has won inter
national renown.

that it was in Paris which we have her
own authority for regarding as France
that hippophagy found its first artistic
introduction into modern civilization.
That horses have been eaten ever since
there were human beings to eat them
is as certain as that there are human
beings and horses.
The Frenchman, no matter what his
other weaknesses may be, is true
philosopher when it comes to his own
nourishment. No weed is too humble
for a salad, If it be but savory. Nc
experiment is too daring which holds
the possibility of a new sensation to the
palate. have always believed that
the man who ate the first oyster was at
least protoplasmically a Frenchman.

SALEM WHEAT PRICES.
Explanation Of Differences in Prices
Here and st other Places.

THE JOURNAL facts about the Sa.
lem wheat market attracted a good
deal Of attention among the business
men. Manager Holland, Of the Sa-
lem FIGURING Mills, was seen and
offered the following:
"wbeat you say was quoted Sl.55
per GENITAL at Portland Tuesday. II
that is a correct quotation, II would
make prices delivered there in sacks
% cents per bushel. We pay Oh a
12-cent margin for sacking, storage,
freight aud commission. That would
make the price 81 cents. We will
paw s3I to s4 If farmers will furnish
sacks. Sacks cost to 8 cents apiece
and we furnish them and pay 80
cents, now.
The above are the facts offered in
explanation, aud they speak for
themselves.

NOW FOR A eLuRIOus MOIdDAY.
Sells Brothers Millionaire Amusement
Alliance Coming.

Our old amusement friends, tn
popular Sells Brothers, are again ~
visit Salem August 10th, making
their twentieth consecutive annual
tour. The death Of Adam Fore
paugh leaves them with but one
rival IN the field which they have
now occupied longer than any other,
aud public opinion will heartily in
dorse the assertion that i'm many re-
spects their merit is surprising. To
their credit be it recorded that,
rich and enterprising as they are,
they have sturdily refused to "revo
lutionize the show business" by tn,
introduction Of licentious aud indie
cent spectacles, but keep within the
legitimate scope Of geological and
areuic displays, and do not sacrifice
the m 'st popular elements Of teut
exhibition to innovations" which
have usurped the legitimate aad be-
ion properly to Black Crook brass
and nudity. This makes their pres
ent enormous unity Of hippodrome,
menagerie, circus, wild Moorish
caravan and spectacular pilgrimage
to Mecca, tropical aquarium, aviary,
royal japanese troupe, Arabian
Nights entertainment and free street
parade altogether the best and most
satisfactory of its kind. Itincludes,
moreover, many exceedingly rare
and interesting sights nowhere else
exhibited; such as the pair Of huge
living hlpp 'potami, whole flock of
ostriches, the hairless horse, and
the pair Of liliputian cattle. Among
scores Of the greatest performers
also appears Cyrene, the eXtraordi-
nary Spanish dancer in long skirts,
whose picturesque and emotional
presentations have made her tie
public craze wherever she has ap-
peared. There are also lots offunny
performances for the special benefit
of the little folks.

We believe that St Bartholemew's
hospital is the only one in the netropo-
lis in which record is kept and stats
tics published of the number OF tunes
anmstbetics are administered during the
wear These statistics are both inter
esting and instructive, and become Vaiu
able as showing the current in favor OF
or against particular anesthetie
agent
Turning. for example, to the records
of 1879 we find that out of 2Oy4 an
estbetizations chloroforrn was given
g75 times. nitrous oxide gas alone liz
times ether alone % times and ether
preceded by nitrous oxide 9S3 times
In 1889 however, the records are a.
follows In 1906 administrations-
chloroforiu l.60l times, gas 6S6, ether
$40 gas and ether 500 times Thus on
comparing these figures the remarkable
fact becomes apparent that chlorotorm
has again come to the front us the most
popular anesthetic at st. Bartholo
new hospital
Not only does the mixture Of ether
and gas not maintain its position OF
superiority. as was the case in the year
1879. but in 1889 not even the total ad
ministrltions of ether alone. and gas
and ether combined. reached by long
way the number Of administrations OF
chloroforin. II is just possible that in
part this change of opinion may be
due to the results published by the Hy
derabad commission of which mem
Der of the staff of the hospital was the
shining light.
But investigations show that ether
has been declining in favor for some
years at st. Bartholomew's. In 1888 il
was administered l,003 times out oi
3. .78S, while. during the same year, ga'
and ether combined was only given "a!
times. What a contrast with this clever
years ago, as the records above quoted
demonstrates AS we see now, chloro
form takes the lead, then a long wa!
behind comes ether alone. while ga
and ether combined makes shockingly
bad third. Medical Press.

SINGULAR TRANCE.
SEATTLE, Aug. l0.-Professor J..
McIva Tyndsll, the mind reader,
who arrived from England a few
mouths ago, and who has performed
some wonderful feats, fell into a
trance at the Peoples theatre during
q performance at 2 O'Clock Monday
morning, aud he did not regain
conaclousness for thirty hours. He
was removed TO the European
lodging house on Washington street.
and the physicians who were called
could do nothing for him. Hi
respiration was regular, bis pulls
normal, the trance not taking tb'
casaleptic form generally peculiar
TO mind readers. However he had
no control Of himself His joint
worked like an automaton. Hi
arms If raised upright from the bee
would remain in that position until
pressed down. The fingers !
doubled up or pressed out would
not change t'eir place. Frequently
the sleeper'ss form would convulse
with shaking, and again he would
lie apparently resting as easy as
sleeping child. On his person was
found letter addressed to "atteDd-
ing physician,D stating that hs was
subject to frances, and that he had
at one time been unconscious for
thirty hours. He asked that he be
not buried until It is known for
certainty that he is dead, and If II is
proven that there is no life in his
body, he gives the physicians per-
mission to oexamine bis brain. When
TyndalI regained consciousness the
first thing he wanted was something
TO eat.
ANOTHER VENDETTA.
PuRvis, Miss, Aug ia family
feud which is likely to prove
bloody one opened here yesterday
Jesse Lee and William Boon, well
known citizens of Purvis, met at a
neighbours house and without vast
ing any time in words, b, gan firing
at each other. Boon WIS shot twice
through the heart, but before he
died, and while lying on the ground,
lie succeeded in wounding Lee, who
escaped, but is thought to be fatally
shot. Family troubles caused the
duel, and, as each man has many
connections with fighting blood In
their veins, 1t is not thought that
the trouble will end here.

Every bank in the city has had

perience have allowed them to pass
unnoticed. They bear the date of
1889. The coins have a sticky feel
ing, like soapstone, different from
silver. Many people have been
deceived by them. The perpetrators
are supposed TO be two women,
mOdestly attifed, who haNe made
trifiing purchases at several places
and, after paying for them in silver,
have asked that the dealer give
them bills for $40 or SIS in silver to
relieve the weight in their pockets.
The United States authorities are
making thorough search for the
offenders.
