anticipated the slowness of the general
land Office and made ruling that ought
to, and we believe will be sustained.
ARIDITY AND POPULATION.

One OF the many significant facts to be
derived from the bureau of vital statis-
tics is that the increase of population
relatively is twice as great in arid re-
gions as in those which are more humid.
Commenting on this fact the North
american says: "This must not be tax
en- to mean that the birth rate and the
average term of life are twice as great in
the dry as they are in the moist climate
The birth rate must naturally be higher
i'll the latter, but the average term must
probably be longer in the former No
slight portion of the increase of popula-
tion in the arid regions if due to the
modern tendency to move back from
the seaboard. The interior of the conti-
nent has been converted into great
sanitarium of late years and the tend
ency of emigration from the seaboard
is to the central plateau. But the i'm
migration is not SO largely of families as
it is of individuals and hence the in
crease of population is due more to
emigrations than to births"

A SENSIBLE RULING.

Many of the settlers on the forfeited
railroad lands who are entitled to pur-
chase $40 acres are at a loss to know
what to do when their lands are not all
IN one body, as for example, when a
portion of the lands may corner with
another portion or where they NAV be
wholly separated, say in two or three
dlnerent sections or townships, and still
do not exceed in the aggregate 800 acres.
1t may be interesting for such persons
TO know that the register of The Dalles
land office, believing that he is acting
according to the spirit of the forfeiture
act has decided to receive applications
Tor the purchase or location of lands so
situated only requiring that each tract
shall be filed upon separately. That is.
II there are two tracts there must be two
h1ngs, and both can be done at the
same time. The Office here has no in
structions from Washington to this
effect aud there is a bare possibility
that its ruling in this matter may not
be sustained, but judging from the ap-
parent desire of the department to treat
1he seIIlers generouslyf such result is
far from probable. The evident inten-
ton of the law is to give the right to
purchase, to the person qualified, of the
full amount of 320 acres and the bill
says nothing about requiring the whole
to be in one body. Our readers may re-
member that Mr.. Hermann called the
attention of the commissioners of the
general land Office to this matter several
weeks ago and urged that the local land
offices be instructed to receive filings in
harmony with the evident intent of the
law but with the slowness that charact-
crises every movement of Washington
official nothing has as yet been DONE
Meanwhile We are pleased to learn that
the good sense of the register here has

The Average Man.

One of the most calling tyrannies OF
modern life is that of the 'saveraee
man. Who ever saw the average man
Is any one acquainted with any one who
ever did2 Has any one any reason to be-
heye that the average man ever existedi
The fact of the matter is that the aver.
age man is a myth. He never did and
never will exist. He is philosophical
abstraction, stage property Of the meta
physician, straw man set up to be wor-
SHIPPED or reviled, as the case NAV be.
Yet people always bow down to him and
talk in whispers about his thoughts, his
moods, his needs and desires They are
rejoiced when he is supposed to sDoile,
and are cast down when he frowns
Statisticians burn the midnight oil in
order to t'do sums" about him. States
men give up their lives to his service.
Political economists look solemn az they
take his measure. Physicians explain
how he may keep well, and preachers ad-
just the message of the gospel to his COM
prehension. Yet, of all the myriads of
men who have ever lived each one differs
more or less from the supposed average
man. Who will deliver the world from
the tyrannical rule of the average man?

Episcopal church on Fifth avenue. speak

good idea of Christ and his mission on
earth. They seem very apt at learning,

time during church services. Both of
them wear queues, though. and would
not part from them for any considera-
ton. 1t took me long time to make
them understand that Christ was divine.
They imagined I had reference merely
to his goodness. At first they imagined
he was an idol that had been found over
eighteen hundred years ago at BethIc-
hem, In Judea, and had been buried,
after being exposed on the cross, and
then stolen and hidden by those who
worshipped the idol. 1t was hard to get
them away from, the joss idea.
They speak English SO imperfectly l
think that is a drawback to their rapid
advancement. One of them asked me if
God was buried in Judea, as well as his
son. When explained that they lived
above the clouds an incredulous look
came upon the boys faces, and one said.

way to cure sever cold? We will tell
you, To cure a cold 1qickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. This can, ALWAYS be
done If you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warming
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as punishment for some indiscre.
tion, you are TO be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by profuse watery expectoratien and
the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? 1t is only necessary
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
most cases will effectually counteract il.
and cure what would have been a severe
cold within one or two days time. Try it
