Footprints of the Worlds History

Footprints of the Worlds History
1t is relief to pick up new book thai
is at once thrilling, romantic, wholesome
pure and true. Such a work is "Footprints
of the Worlds History" the latest and
greatest work of the two celebrated histor
ians, John Clark Sidpath and VIM S.
Bryan. These distinguished gentlemen,
having won their laurels by independent
writings, have co-operated on this work,
and produced a gem ''of the purest ray
serene" 1t is not dry uninteresting
statement of the plain facts, but rather
each of the most important events of his
tory has been taken up and described by a
master of language, who holds the reader
entranced as he wends his way along the
path of history, following carefully in the
footprints of progress.
We are delighted with this superb vol
ume. Perfect in thought, superb in STYLE
and magnificent in execution. The bind
ings are sumptuous, are also the many
illustrations and colored plates. The Pub
llshers have rightly concluded that such q
gem should have a rich setting
1t is valuable addition to literature. It
is a book for the old as we'll as the young;
the married as well as the single; the gay as
well as the grave. Everybody will read it
with equal eagerness and profit. 1t is sold
only through agents, and the publishers ad-
vertisement appears in another column.

CORVALLIS has made a long
stride forward in the establishment
of the carriage factory here. AL
ready other manufacturing enter
prises are being talked of, some of
which are assuming a definite
shape and will no doubt come in
due time. Many of our farmers
are beginning to see the need Of a
cannery here, and are falling into
line and are wlllingto to take stock in
such an enterprise. Ere another
season rolls by it is safe to say
say that this enterprise, on solid
financial footing, will be establish
ed in Corvallis. An ice factory,
and starch factory are talked Of,
and there is reason to believe that
before many seasons pass large
agricultural implement manufac-
tory will be established here.
Manufactures is what we need to
make Corvallis a live and pushing
city. They bring outside money
here, furnish employment to la
borers, furnish openings for new
business, and enhance the value of
our property. Hence every citizen
and every business man should
lend a helping hand to every le-
gitimate enterprise that offers to
come here. If you cannot aid it
financially yourself, you can speak
a kind word for it and use your
influence among your friends who
can helpit along.

TORTURING ECZEMA!
Editor Iowa Plain Dealer Cured of In
sufferable Itching and Pain by the
Cuticura Remedies.
No Less Than Five Physicians Consulted.
Their Combined WiSmom Followed
Without Benefit.

I am sixty-six years old. In August,
1889, was troubled with the peculiar skin
disease to which people of my age are sub
ject, known among medical men as eczema.
Its first appearance was near the ankles.
1t rapidly extended over the lower extremi-
ties until my legs were nearly one raw sore;
from legs the trouble extended across the
hips, shoulders and the entire length of the
arms, the legs and arms greatly swollen
with an itching, burning pain, without ces-
sation. Although the best medical advice
attainable was employed, no less than five
ply sicians of the place being consulted and
the prescriptions being the result of their
combined wisdom, the disease, though ap-
parently checked, would recur in a few days
as bad as ever; during its progress my
weight fell away about twenty-five pounds.
AS an experiment 1 began the use of CUTI-
cURA. following the simple and plain in
structions given with the REMEDIES, and in
four weeks found myself well, with skin
soft and natural in color. the itching and
pain entirely relieved. w. r. MEAD,
Editor Iowa Plain Dealer, Cresco, La.

In the death Of Hon. T. T..
Cauthorn Corvallis loses an honest
and respected citizen. A man
who has devoted his entire life as
a public benefactor. He was one
of Oregon's most able and useful
citizens. A staunch and true
friend to the State Agricultural
College, and every legitimate pub
lie enterprise for the good of the
community in which he lived.
Although his political views diff
fered from those of the GAZETTE,
his place at the wheel of action
which moulds our city, county and
state government will be hard to
fill.

Isle of Wright, and telegraphed
also across the river Severn with

Now the South comes to the
front with cyclone that wiped
out a part of Baton Rouge, La,
and blew down the state peniten-

rest in perfect security from such
disastrous disturbances Of the ele-
ments. 1t seems that no section
east of the Rockies is safe from

TRACING BEEF CA TILE.

The efficiency with which the
Bureau of Animal Industry of the
United States Agricultural Depart
ment is now conducting the super
vision of the live stock exported
from this country has been re-
Gently very strikingly illustrated.
Some weeks since the British
authorities at Liverpool condemn
ed two steers shipped to that port
from this country, giving thefacts
and stating the numbers on the
tags borne by the animals. The
bureau at Washington at once set
about tracing the steers. Both Of
them were shipped from Baltimore
One was traced to the Pittsburg
stock yards, and thence to the
farm where it was bred in Ohio;
the other was also traced to the
farm where it came from in Mary
land. The promptness with which
this was done shows that the
bureau has now more thorough
watch upon cattle shipped from
this country to Europe than Eu-
rope has upon anything which she
sends to us. 1t may also be noted
that upon investigation no conta-
gious diseases were found among
the cattle on the farms where
these steers came from, nor has
there been any such disease known
in the sections where the farms
are for many years past.-San

THE.frst work in the actual con-
struction of the Worlds Fair build
ings at Chicago was begun on Fri
day. Some people may think this
was unlucky but it is worth noting
that the building on which the
work was begun is to be the wo-
mans building and was designed
by a woman. This is another proof
that women don't let a superstition
interfere with them when they
make up their minds to get ahead
of men. Any day will do for them
so long as they get there'--San

CAUGHT A TARTAR.

Unpleasant Experience of a Rector Who
Rebuked His Daughter.
A London papeS relates a queer in
cident that happened in a Welsh church
the other Sunday. The rector began to
rebuke his people in severe terms for
not attending Sunday morning service,
and impartially included his own
daughters in the rebuke. ''Wherenpon,
to his establishment, says the story,
cup jumped one Of his daughters and
told the people that her father was a
man who, when he first awoke, could
not rise unless his hot water was
brought and the towel was placed
under his nose. She related how boots
had to be cleaned, fires lighted, and the
breakfast prepared, and then went on
to describe how the worthy clergyman
required his book and his coat and his
gloves and his hat and stick and-his
cake and his wine before he was ready
to start to his work. This was all de-
tailed with minuteness and volubility.
The reverend father kept no servant,
and there was the household work to
be done, and, besides, he insisted upon
q hot dinner served with punctuality.
Under these circumstances, the lady
pleaded, was it possible for her to get
to worship on Sunday morning. The
sympathies Of the audience were with
the daughter"

A MAGNETIC PLANT.
An Indian Plant That Shocks the Human
System.


There has been discovered in the for
est of India, according to The Weeks
Sport, strange plant, which possesses
to very high degree astonishing mag
netic powers and which is a great
source of annoyance to hunters and
tourists. It has been named the Philo-
tarea electrical. The hand which breaks
leaf from this plant Immediately re-
ceives shock equal to that which is
produced by an induction coil. At a
distance of six yards magnetic needle
is affected by it and will be deranged
if brought near. The emery of this
singular influence varies with the hour
of the day All powerful about two
O'Clock in the afternoon, it is absolutely
annulled during the night. At times Of
storms it's intensity augments to strik-
ing proportions. During rain the plant
seems to succumb, and bend it's head
during a thunder shower. 1t remains
there without force or virtue, even if
one should shelter it with an umbrella.
No shock is felt at that time in break
ing the leaves and the needle is unaf-
fected beside it. One never by any
chance sees birds Or insects alight on
the electric plant; an instinct seems to
warn them that they will find certain
death there. It is also important to
remark that where it grows none of
the magnetic metals are found; neither
iron, cobalt nor nickel-an undeniable
proof that the electric force belongs ex-
clusively the plant.
