CouIdn,t Dance,

One of our northern friends who has
been travelling in the south found him
self at railroad station at which quite
a crowd of negro boys were gathered.
Some of the passengers amused them
selves by tossing nickels out among the
crowd to see the urchins scramble for
them. One strong fellow managed to
get the lions share of the contributions,
using his superior skill and muscular
power to good advantage and imposin ng
upon the weaker and more awkward.
With his mouth, which answered the
purpose of a pocketbook. full of coin
obtained thus by hauling, pulling and
showing, he was invited to dance for the
delectation of the company, whereupon
he unhesitatingly declared that it was
impossible, for, as he said, Use got re-
igion." That was where he drew the
line. He could pound and shove and
misuse his superior strength to obtain
money from his weaker companions, but
he couldn't dance.-Richmond Religious

To Cure Corpulencx.

To open the sewerage system of the
body and expel the waste matters which
have accumulated is of the first impor-
tance in the treatment of corpulence.
Hot water and exercise will largely do
this. That the overworked digestive or
gans may be relieved the quantity of
food should be the smallest possible con-
sistent with strength. Foods which bur-
den digestion or favor the production of
fat should be excluded from the diet.
Every corpulent person who observes
these simple rules will soon find himself
growing lighter in weight and his gen.
eral health improving, physical as well
as mental His gain will correspond to
the degree of faithfulness with which he
adheres to this regimen. And once he is
back to near the standard of weight he
will need no urging to ever afterward
obstruct threatening corpulency.-Bos-
ton Herald.

We believe an open river to The

further believe that the owners of the

patronage of such farmers, but when we
CONSIDER that Klickitat county extends
nearly one hundred miles above The
Dalles we can see at glance that it is
impossible for all farmers living in this
country to haul their grain there. What
we are working for is to procure boats to
haul wheat from Columbus and stations
above the river to Pasco, where( e(provided
reasonable terms cannot'be made with
the U. P.,) it can be shipped by way of
the N. P. to market. The management
of the N. P. is at present taking steps to
reduce rates on these lines so that ship

The lawn and the chambers have been tidied up, Miss Parloa's meth ods of broiling chicken have been put in practice, the air of socially has driven | away the air of exclusiveness, in rare in- stances $5 extra has been left within the calloused palm, and so even if our beef baked more than three minutes to the pound, our mead and our roads have | been under fire of criticism, the summer transient has escaped this time without mourning the accusation of being an lln- mannerly brute.

 He did not live long enough; and it is strange to reflect that this brilliant artist, who, from the age of fourteen until his early death, enjoyed renown beyond l that of any other American virtuoso, is now almost forgotten by the public. A quarter of century ago he was unriv- alled in his vocation, and the first of so- cial favorites. Wherever he went he en- deared himself alike to old and young, yet the rising generation of to-day scarce | ly knows his name But his rare and beautiful compositions will long be cher ished by musicians.
