Our Future Trade with Asia.

The commercial outlook of Oregon is
westward. 1t is nearer by the breadth
of continent to the markets of the old
east and of the Pacific islands than are
the Atlantic ports. No just estimate
can be placed upon the future volume
and value of the trade with Asia. No
one nation can control it, but the strug-
gle to possess it will be mainly between
England and our Pacific coast states.
British statesmen, with proverbial sagac-
ity, foresaw this struggle, and 1t was not
the result of accident that in settling thu
Oregon boundary we lost the island Of
Vancouver and half of Puget sound.
In this struggle the new northwest
will have an advantage over California
in distance, and in the fact that the
ocean stream which rises off the coast of
Asia and flows eastward to the American
continent gives to every ship bound for
northwestern port gain of twenty
miles in every twenty-four hours. The
region will have an advantage over
Great Britain in the local production of
hestaple articles required for the Asiatic
trade. He who should now undertake to
estimate the commerce of the Pacific
coast with Asia and the Pacific islands
twenty-five years hence would find few
who would not consider his estimate ex.

CIimpses Backward.

Through that long dark stretch of a
thousand years lying between the Fifth
and Fifteenth centuries the greatest
Injuries were books So costly were
they that it was next to impossible for
any but the richest to procure such ex-
pensive treasures, the more's the pity,
since but inches of information, SO to
speak, remain to tell the story of their
worth and the tale of wonderful gar
niture, both binding and ornamentation
revealing the peculiarly rich and varied
handicraft then in vogue.
Much of the transcribing of the period
was done by residents of religious
houses; boards of hard wood, over which
leather was stretched, inclosed these
precious treasures, and further protec-
ton by metallic corner pieces and mass
i've clasps preserved the leaves from in
jury.
Literary treasures intended for royal
households and ecclesiastical dionitaries,
and copies for churches and monasteries
had side castings of ivory on which APP
propriate subjects were carved in silver,
of quaint fretwork pattern, and other
wise distinctively honored by the ad-
dition of gold plaques, studded with
gems and jewels. Both sets and single
volumes were carefully incased in boxes

OUTLAWS that Bring incomes.


An advertising agent gave me some
interesting items today about the
amounts paid by some of the leading
houses here for advertising. The com
pany who is supposed to lead the list is :
baking powder company which spend,
100000 yearly in making their ware.
known. Following them the Pearline
people come, spending $500, 900 annually.
The Sapolio company is credited with
spending $4,000. Among the dry goods
people, who are about the largest adver-
tisers in the daily papers, E. j. Denning
81 Co. stand first They lay out 800, 900
year in newspaper advertising. Lord
g. Taylor are reckoned next, with an ex-
penditure of 100000. The big Sixth ave-
nue. bazars run anywhere from $40, 900 to
100000 a year, and the merchant who
does not spend $25, 900 year nowadays
simply isn't in it," 30 far as heavy adj
vertising goes.
OF course where such large sums are
expended there is a great deal of thought
put upon the subject and the advertis.
ing man is an important parsonage. Sc
deeply interested, indeed, are advertisers
in the art that distinct literature is
rapidly springing up, publishing the
latest ideas by the best experts. Who
knows but talented writers OF advertise
ments will yet be admitted to the Au.

MacauIay as a Speaker.

Men listened to Macaulay with respect
weighed his arguments, reflected or
what he had said, were often convinced
sometimes converted, but nowhere did
crowds of eager listeners and ardent ad.
mirers bend beneath the music of his
voice or the lightning glance of his eye.
An old friend of mine, recently dead,
who had often heard him and remem-
bered him perfectly, assured me, how
ever, that he was great power fifty
years. ago, and he believed that his
oratorical triumphs hardly received full
credit in those days.
Macaulay himself said that one of his
chief defects as public speaker was his
extraordinary rapidity of utterance,
which spoiled the effect of his words.
His speeches resembled carefully pre-
pared essays, delivered with incredible
rapidity and some want Of impressive.
ness, rather than the spontaneous out
burst OF the orators full heart. Fluency
and great facility in finding the right
words are not an unmixed gain to the
speaker. Appropriate pauses and en-
phasis are even more important, other
wise torrent of words lacks impress
iveness.
Then the management of the voice
counts for very much. A speech that
flows on like a rope unwound from CYL
inder is not a good one. Again, to be
successful speech must be enlivened
with anecdotes or humor. People can
always read for solid instruction, but a
platform speaker must amuse and please
rather than teach

Mr.. Sturgeon has strong partiality
for the fragrant weed. On Sunday even

he may be seen reclining in the cushions
of his carriage and putting away at his
pipe as he is driven home. He says that
after hard days work he finds a smoke
has soothing and restful effect upon his
nerves. Westwood, his home at Beulah
Hill, Norwood. is perhaps the finest place
owned by a dissenting parson in this
country. He has magnificent collec-
ton of plants, shrubs, etc., from all
parts Of the world. The grounds are
laid out on a most lavish scale, and all
the appointments of the place are in
keeping.
Mr.. Sturgeon has sometimes been re.
monstrated with by persons more ortho.
dox than himsef-if such can be con.
ceived-for driving on Sunday. His re.
tort Is that he is under grace, while his
horses are under the law, SO that their
Sabbath comes on the Saturday and his
own on the Sunday, which is most con-
venient arrangement. But it is a fact
that he takes cares the animals shall have
at least one days rest in seven, which Is

APARTY OF SIX GET DUCKED.
Mr.. Thomas Smiley, of the we'll known
firm Of Smiley Bros, prominent merchants
of Norway, had narrow escape from
drowning the other day. With his wife and
Miss Minnie Smiley, his sister, he has been
visiting his old home in Benton. One day
last week picnic was arranged at Pattes
Pond, In Winslow, in the course of which
Mr.. Smiley, with his wife, two sisters, his
father, Mr.. d. 0. Smiley Of Benton, and his
brother. David Smiley, well-known sales
man for Milliken, Cousins & Short of Port
land. attempted to cross the pond in a small
boat. They had gotten but few feet from
shore when the boat. suddenly and without
warning, capsized, and precipitated the en-
tire party OF six into the water, which was
very deep. The boat, to add to their peril,
sunk In such way as to afford no refuge.
But all three gentlemen could swim, and
after much danger and trouble, man aged to
get the three ladies to the shore safely. The
whole party were thoroughly drenched and
much frightened
