A verso OF scrintnr..

At one of the Teachers institutes held
few years ago in Maine, rule was in
force that whoever entered the morning
session late should pause at the door and
recite a passage of Scripture, quotation
from some poet, or other expression of
an idea, for the edi6cation of those pres
ent at the session. There was present
at the session a plain little old maid,
who was continually saying and doing
inappropriate things. 1t seemed to come
natural to her. She was late one morn
ing, was this s'unappropriated blessing .
and pausing on the threshold she electri-
fed those within by remarhng suavely,

seek me early shall find me."-Lewiston

Self-conceit is q rope that the devil
never let's go off.
Don't try to kill a fly on your neigh
boris head with hammer.
Preaching that is aimed at the head
hardly ever strikes the heart.
Seeking happiness simply to have it is
a very bad kind of selfishness.
If it were not for hunger some men
would never do an honest days work.

There is no bigger coward anywhere in

Repeat same exercise, trying to hold

Try it again, and see if you can hold

One of the best times for taking this

from your work or studies. Hold your
breath while walking ten steps, then
twenty, etc. The advantage of being in
the open air and sunshine, is that the
air is fresher than is generally found
indoors.

will be found TO greatly help digestion.

The Washington state building to be
built in Chicago for the purpose Of ex-
hibiting the vast resources of the great
state Of Washington in 1893, will be
unique in structure and modern style.
The plans have been formally adopted

and they show marked individuality
and many features Of independence
which is so characteristic of our new
state. The building will cover ground
space of 220x14O feet and will be built
from Washington lumber finished in
hard oil. Every particle of the building
from the ground to the height OF the flag
staff, q distance OF It's feet, will be pro-
duced and sent from this state. The cost
of the building is estimated at $4,000

JEFF'S SHOE STORE.
B. j. Garman's Pioneer Boot and
Shoe Establishment.

Here in B. J. Garman's ON L street is
a place where you can &c: more solid
comfort to the square foot or any other
foot than any place on Grays harbor'
MIR. Garman's establishment is the old
reliable house in the boot and shoe line.
He is the pioneer in supplying the early
Aberdeenites with footwear, and his
success in filling the wants of his GUS
toners when the city was young has ex-
tended to the more recent corners, so that
today he has the patronage and goodwill
OF ali who like neat-ftting, comfortable
and durable boot or shoe. In addition to
his handsome stock OF fine and heavy
boots and shoes, rubber goods, slippers,
etc., Mr.. Garman makes a speciality of
manufacturing goods to order. Employ
ing only the most skilled workmen, whose
"work speaks their WORTH" he can con
shoes in the very latest styles, with the
best quality of leather, and made to ct
as snugly and easily on the feet as the
greatest tenderfoot could desire. Another
branch of the business that receives
special care is repairing, all of which is
done i'll the neatest and promptest man
ner. Mr.. Garman's reliable makes of
footwear have gained for him so many
customers that his present premises have
become entirely inadequate for his
business, and recognizing this fact he
will remove to larger quarters. After
the first of the year his many old Gus
toners will find "Jeff's shoe store'' on
the southeast corner of L and Heron
streets, where all will find it to their adj
vantage to buy footwear. Mr.. Garman
is gentleman of sound business reputa-
ton, good citizen of Aberdeen, and
pleasant and wideawake merchant withal.

The Men Women Want.

What we want is man who appre-
ciates the extreme value of water and of
soap, of flannel wash clothes and of big
towels.
A man who wears his clothes az if they
grew on him and has them made OF good
material that are quiet in tone.
A man who makes his scarf subservient
to his brains, and who doesn't wear either
pale blue or scarlet hybirds at his throat.
A man whose shirt is as Immaculate as
his honor.
A man whose shoes shine as brightly
as his eyes.-Bab. in N. Y. World

VIENNA RESTAURANT. !
The Neatest and Most Homelike il
the City.

TheVienna Restaurant and Bakery is
one of the leading establishments of it's
kind in Aberdeen, and has steadily won
it's way into popular favor by reason of
the excellent service and good and fresh

toners. The location and neat apart
ments occupied are most convenient for

times, day or night. The public will

respect, a first-class table and reasonable

( S. G. MITCHELL.
Aberdeen's Large Cash Grocery and
Provision Store.

The leading grocery establishment OF
which Mr.. S. G. Mitchell is the enter
prising proprietor, is at all times head
quarters for the very choicest OF staple
and fancy groceries. The immense stock
carried by this gentleman comprises
canned luxuries and Theoretically sealed
goods in tin and glass, jellies, jams, table
delicacies, tea and coffee, pure aromatic
spices the best the world produces, con-
diments, the best Of lard, hams, bacon,
choice creamery butter and cheese, ranch
eggs, fresh vegetables, garden and
orchard productions and country pro-
duce. In his well appointed establish
ment may also be found the choicest
-four, barley, shorts, bran and all kinds
OF mill feed, all OF which are put on the
market at prices that defy competition.
The special feature of this leading es-
Enlistment, and one which is of para
mount importance to the community is
the strictly cash system adopted by the
proprietor. By selling for cash exclusively
Mr.. Mitchell prevents the heavy losses
which are caused by the old credit sys-
tenn, thus enabling him to give his pat
rons the benefit Of the saving. The i'm
mense stock Of groceries carried is neatly
and Systematically arranged and presents
very pleasing and tempting appearance,
and patrons will find no inferior quality
of goods. Mr.. Mitchell is an enterpris-
ing and representative Aberdeenite,
always in the van OF progression, and is
highly esteemed by his fellowmen.

Far away beyond the plains of Meso-
potamia, on the banks of the river Tigris,
lies the ruins of the ancient city of Nine
veh. Not long since huge mounds of
earth and tor marked the place where
the palaces and walls of the proud capital
of the great Assyrian empire stood. The
spade and scraper, first of the French
and then of the English, have cleared all
the earth away and laid bare all that re-
mains of the old streets and palaces where
the proud princes of Assyria walked and
lived. The gods they worshiped and
the books they read have all been revealed
to the sight of a wondering world.
The most curious of all the curious
things preserved in this wonderful man
ner are the clay books of Nineveh. The
chief library of the city was contained in
the palace of Kanyunjik. The clay books
which composed its contents were sets Of
tablets covered with very small letters.
T~he'tablets are all oblong in shape, and
when several of them are used for one
book the first line ofthe tablet following
was written at the end of the one pre-
ceding it. The writing was lone when
the clay of the tablet was soft; it was
her baked to hardenit. Each tablet was
numbered just as librarians of today
number the books of which they have

1t is all nonsense about "beauty sleep"
coming in the hours before midnight
and that the rosy cheek on the country
lass is the reward for retiring at the
time when the p~roverbially pale faced
city girls evening commences. The late
hours of fashionable life would not neces-
sarily scatter the roses from the cheek if
the late hour for retiring could be the
same every night without variation. It
is irregular hours and meals that cause
pale and haggard faces. The handsom-
est couple l eve saw retired regularly
at II 80, and always INDUCED in a light
lunch just before retiring, They were
both pictures of health.
The lady did not look over %, though
she never hesitated to say that she was
8s years old, and the husband looked at
least ten years younger than he really
was. They were both devotees to the
laws of health. For years they had al
lowed nothing to interfere with the reg
ularity of sleeping and eating hours.
Almost the midnight hour was chosen
for retiring, because it allowed them
evenings at the theatre and an hour or
so at even the most fashionable recep-
tons. When alone in their home they
-never INDUCED in an earlier hour.-Chi-
