Soldiers Yarns,

1t was in one of the soldiers homes
scattered over the country, and those
familiar with the spirit there prevailing
know that of all spots where questions
of military merit are tenaciously dis
cussed these are the most remarkable
Leaving out the earnestly fought argu-
ments relative to the abilities of partic-
ular generals, the doings of special
corps or regiments, the interest with
which many individuals insist upon
their personally having been more OIL
less of pivot upon which the fate Of
a battle if not the whole war turned,
must be seen to be appreciated.
In this instance, that it was just after
Decoration Day, when campaign mem.
ories are especially active and access
to the outer world with its mellowing
influences is easier, may have had some
thing to do with it. But it goes upon
record that never were three veterans
all belonging to different regiments
more strenuously self assertive regard
ing the parts they had played in the
whole unpleasantness.
1t had gone from simple facts to the
farthest kind of long bow shooting all
the way home. DO you know" finally

The Part THAT the bachelor Masters os

The Part THAT the bachelor Masters os
Ceremony rlay IN Japan
Whenever n festival came TO pass the
arrangements fell into the hands of a
special class of the community called
wakaishi. These were in fact the
bachelors of the community. They
formed sort of society or guild, and
no one could be admitted without
proper Endorsement and a vote of ac-
eeptance. They were rather a wild
set they could not be called indus
trious, and the wineshop was the fa-
vorite rendezvous of these pleasure low
ing youths.
A merchant who had an eye to his
sons future would seldom consent to
his joining the band; and it was thus
more numerous where artisans, whose
sons had greater liberty, were more
plentiful But Japan is marrying
country; very few men, and still fewer
women, continue long minated; and
no cho contained more than fifteen or
twenty wakaishi There were two or
three classes; one class was well off,
and was expected to spend money hand
soinely the others possessed less and
were called on for less. 1t was into the
hands of this gay company that the ar
rangements for merry making were al
ways placed. The occupation was a
congenial one, and this disposition of it
came about naturally enough.
There was one part of the duties,
however, which was not very pleasant
was, in fact, according to japanese
ideas, even little debasing. This was
the soliciting of contributions for festi-
val expenses. The wakaishi played the
disagreeable part in old japanese life
that the book agent and campaign
fund collector play with us. AS a
festival approached the wakaishi went
to the sahai-nin and the house owners
and received general directions about
the mode of celebration. Then a num-
Der went the rounds to collect sub
scriptions. Everybody knew how much
his neighbor was worth, and each was
asked to give a certain sum, according
to his means. j. H. Wigmore in Serb

NOlnhnA NhhCo III OOuEnhnshs
The arrival of woman in journalism
is not news of this year or last. Her
place in the world of newspapers is well
defined. She is there because there is
need for her in fields that man cannot
fill. She has come to stay, not until
somebody calls her off, " but until the
professional career of lifetime is over.
Think of some of the female press writ
ers in our own city-Mrs. Sangster, Miss
Glider, Mary Mapes Dodge, Miss
French, Marion Harland, Jennie June,
Mrs. Heaton, Kate Upson Clark, Midy
Morgan, Mrs. Chittenden, Nellie BLY,,
Miss Bisland and Mrs. Archer. Are
these ladies triflers in their profession
Are not their positions as well estab-
lished as those of male writers2
Do not many of them do work that
men could not do, which constitutes a
special province of female journalism
Fancy mere man undertaking to edit
the woman's page of daily paper. 1t
is necessary that there should be a
lighter branch of woman's literature,
as well as the more serious. Passe-
menterie ought to be well described as
one of the topics that interest the
household. Juliet Corson and her fell
low laborers in gastronomic education
have done not little for American
health. 1t is thoughtless cynicsm to
deny that there is in journalistic WORK
a growing demand for female talent. =

Underneath the brush is depressible

cages with a V-grooved wheel on the

of dust or dried mud very quickly, and
the blacking is applied in the usual
manner by a daubing brush, after
which the polishing process is quickly
completed. New York Telegram.

Ihs HIS oE LYNh.

We wandered down the hills of Lynn.
My love and together;
Cicalas chanting fine and thin
Made musioal the heather;
Within the vale the lamps, like stars.
Shone in the dusk, and ruddy Mars
On his high pennon noated;
o Lowell o Lowell a song bird there
Sang for us silver throated.
Oh, pleasant are the hills Of Lynn
In summer greenly growingl
When stars the twilight usher in,
The reapers from the moving
Come whistling homeward through thu
glade,
And each one watches for the maid
To him most dear and pleasing,
While down the lanes the loaded wains
Creak after, loudly wheeling.
The hills of Lynn. TO me so dear,
How shall tread them lonely2
My sweet love Is not with me here,
Yon moon marks one shape only
One shadow drawn across the grass.
Where once were two, dear love, alasl
I'd fain be here laid sleeping;
For wandering down the hills Of Lynn
Alone, sets me a-weeping.
The hills Of Lynn, oh, the hills OF Lynn,
Where we used to walk togetherl
wish me dead on the hills OF Lynn
At the end OF the golden weather.
wish me dead in a cold, cold shroud,
Beneath the withered clover,
For since he has gone has come cloud
The golden hillslopes over.

ANOTHER REDUCTION.
The Railroad Commission Reduces the
Rates over the Union Pacific.


The Oregon railroad commission
has denied the Union Pacific Go. an
extension Of time to make show
ing why reduction of rates should
not take place over its lines, and or
dered the new reduced rates to go
into effect September lst.
The reduction amounts To an
average of 10 per cent. on grain ana
mill stuGfs (aud not "f 3J per cent.
as erroneously reported, probably
for bad effect). The reduction in
live stock will average 15 per cent.
This action is of vital interest to
Eastern Oregon, but does not affect
Salem interests any. The commits
sion has entered up the same orders
in form as it made in the S. p. Co.
September 9TH the commission
will hear the Hunt system attorneys
and order a reduction of rates II

The Champion Bible Reader.

Robert Il. Barker of New Bedford,
Mass, has read the Bible through no
less than 100 times, it is reported He
began reading it in 1868, out of sheer
curiosity, and had it finished before he
scarcely realized it. Again he began
and again he finished, finding more en-
joyment in the perusal than the first
time. He read it again and again, un-
til, as the years rolled by, he found
himself reading it through on an aver
age of about four times year. At
length, having nothing else to do, he
conceived the idea of reading it through
100 times, and for the past few years he
applied himself diligently to the task,
He says he can read it through in a
month. He does not intend to cease
his reading now, but has begun on his
l0lst reading and hopes TO complete
200 times. Exchange.

Africans Wash but Never Wipe.

Great attention is given in most OF
the African tribes to the care of the
body The teeth are cleansed with a
stick which has been chewed into a
kind of brush. The hands are
washed frequently, not by turning and
twisting and rubbing them together
one within the other, as with us, but
by a straight up and down rubbing,
such as is given TO the other limbs
This manner Of washing is so character
istic that an African might Go distin-
guished by it from European without
reference to the color. The sun is their
only towel. Paul Reichard in Popular
Science Monthly
