The Ailments of Royalty.

Of late there have been some sinister
rumors concerning the health of the
Prince of Wales eldest son, and every
one knows how strongly insanity pre-
walls in the house of Brunswick The
other day the cars uncle went raving
mad at the autumn maneuvers, and the
czar himself is suffering from some mys-
terious nervous complaint. From Ger
many again we hear of a return of the
chronic illness which af1icts the young
emperor and threatens to bring him early
to the grave. The practical separation
of the emperor and empress of Austria
is a proof of the unhealthiness of the
Hapsburgs.
We know at what an early age King
Alfonso of Spain died, and that his little
son is very delicate, and was short
time ago SO desperately i'll that every
one despaired of saving his life. The
present sultan reigns only because the
rightful heir to the Turkish throne is in
madhouse. Alone among the import
ant European monarchs King Humbert
of Italy can boast of sound health On
the other hand, his position on the throne
is anything but secure.-London Cor

Safety on Railroad Trains.

Some time ago railroad men engaged
in a discussion through the newspapers
about the safest position for traveller
to assume when on train, and it seemed
to be agreed finally that the person who
took a seat on the right hand side of the
middle car of the train, in seat as near
the middle as possible, would have a bet
ter chance of escaping injury in an acci-
dent than one who sat somewhere else.
81 never was satisfied that there was
anything in that theory" says A. D.
Martin, st. Louis travelling man, ''but
it is astonishing to notice how many
people believe in it, You see the effects
of the publication everywhere you go on
railway train. People crowd the mid
die car of a train, and get on the right
hand and as near the middle of the car
as they can. I have seen on the Iron
Mountain the seats on the right hand
side of the car crowded, although it YVES
sunny there, while the seats on the other
side were nearly empty."-St. Louis

P.nnsy,v.nia.s Bark Belt,


An interview with citizen of Ridg-
way, Elk county, develops some facts
of interest concerning the tanning in
dustry. Ridgway is the centre of the
hemlock bark industry of northern Penn
sylvania- ''The hemlock industry of the
state, !" said he, sis about 75 by 15O miles
in extent, and the tanneries located in
that district have extra facilities for Sc
curing bark. The cost of hemlock bark
at Ridgway is about So. per cord. The
tanneries located at that point consume
about 0,000 cords a year. Large GUAM
titles of their products find ready markets
in Europe" Said one of the leading tan
ners:
''The cost of bark transportation has
become of late years very important
element In the success of the tanning IN
dustry. Bark is bulky and cost of
transportation long distances adds very
materially to the cost of leather. Penn
sylvania has advantages over New Eng
land tanning centers by reason of its
nearness to West Virginia bark regions.
Tanneries located in the very midst of
the bark districts have, of course. special
advantages which count in these DAYS of
close margins. We have reached time
when all opportunities for reducing cost
must be watched, and the manufacturer
who fails to do so is apt to be left. -

sensible Remarks OF the Portland Even
ing Telegram.
The Telegran of Portland makes some
remarks in regard to the evening news
paper field which will apply TO The
Dalles as well as Portland and we re-
produce the article.
This is newspaper age in which COM
petition is SO vigorous that the principle
of the survival of the fittest controls the
field. Only a few years have passed
since the evening paper held a subordi-
nate position in the newspaper world.
Today the situation is entirely changed.
In every large city of the east and CEN
trail west the evening papers are equal
ing their morning contemporaries in local
sales, and in many instances surprising
them in both city and country circula-
ton, As mediums for all kinds of ad-
vertising they are eagerly employed by
business men.
The Pacific coast in general and Port
land in particular, offer even greater op-
portuDities for the development of even
ing newspapers than the east. New
York city is the leading news centre of
the continent, and the time of day there
is three hours ahead of Porrland's time.
Practically, the vital news in CONNER
cial, industrial, financial and congress
sional circles is on record by p. m,
which is received here at p. M, in
time for publication. In this way the
Telegram will give to its readers all the
news of the immediate day without COM
pelling them to wait until the following
morning. The subscribers in every sec
ton of the state will be accommodated,
as the trains to the south, east and
north, and the boats to the west all leave
in the evening after the paper is issued.
The province, however, of the evening
lished at time when people are at
liberty and glad to read bright, ener-
getic sheet that informs them of the do
ings and plans of their fellow-citizens,
the TeJegrom will make a telling effort to
cover the field in such a manner as to
insure its own permanent prosper
ity and subserve the best interests of
Portland.

About Vegetables.

Vegetables of all available kinds
should always be found upon our tables,
as they have direct chemical and re-
medal action upon our bodies. Onions
and asparagus are particularly recon-
mended for rheumatism and rheumatic
gout; caulihower has tonic effect upon
the system, and boiled peas contain 93
per cent. of nutriment, which is almost
equal to the value of wheat bread. Po-
tatoes are certainly very desirable part
of our meals. and lettuces, carrots and
cabbages would be much easier digested
but for the artificial methods of cooking
and seasoning which are employed by
the modern civilized cook.
Vegetables should never be put into
the cellar, as many of them contain
acids which will absorb the poison of the
ground air, and, if eaten, will prove very
unhealthy, and if allowed to remain will
rapidly decompose and fill the air which
arises to the upper rooms with poison
that will undoubtedly cause much mis-
chief. Potatoes should not be exposed
to the sun, but kept in some dry place
where the light and air can always strike
them.-Halrs Journal.

Petty snoplir.ers.

Shopping seems to be as brisk this
year as it was last. The large shops up
town have been crowded almost every
day in the past week, and the extent of
the buying does not suggest any unusual
scarcity of money. Most of the great
emporiums find it necessary in the holi-
day season to double and sometimes
treble their detective forces. ''It is am
ateur shoplifting that causes us the most
trouble" explained the chief detective
in an extensive establishment in Twenty
third street. I'VE know nearly all of
the professionals and can spot them at
the door, but there are large number
of women who come in here without the
slightest intention of stealing, but who
yield to the temptation to pick up little
things that happen to please their fancy
''They see lots of pretty articles scat
tered about loosely and apparently un-
watched, and almost unconsciously they
commit petty thefts. Such women,
presume, do not realize that they are
stealing. and there are instances con-
stantly occurring where their consciences
compel them to return the pilfered arti-
cles anonymously. Arrests, did you
say2 No: we seldom cause an arrest to
be made. 1t is the policy of our firm to
avoid scenes and scandals. When we
detect any person in the act of stealing
a quiet word is generally all that is
necessary to secure the return of the
stolen article, and an amateur shop
litter is not likely to repeat the offense
after having once been found OUT

They Don't Live in Tenement Ho.ss,

They Don't Live in Tenement Houses.
A young woman who, as the mission
ary of an east side chapel, spends her
life administering to the physical and
spiritual wants of the poor people in her
parish, has hopeful view of the future
of the German immigrants, among
whom nearly all her work is done. She
says:
AS soon as the children learn to speak
English they pick up American ideas,
and before long a certain amount of
pride manifests itself. Acurious indica-
ton of this is that none of the English
speaking young people will admit that
they live in tenement houses. If you ask
them they will always tell you that their
home is in flat house, while few have
reached a pitch of refinement where the
dingy old buildings become apartment
houses.
If you went into some of the homes.
through the dark halls and up four or
five flights of rickety stairs, you might
ask yourself what tenement house real
ly is. The young persons there, how
ever, will tell you that the Hebrews in
Essex and Ludlow streets live in tene-
ment houses. This pride may be false,
but it is akin to ambition, and will make
good American men and women of the
grandchildren of the immigrants

Treatment of Factory Hands.

Superintendent of factories would do
well to regard attentively the regime
which exists in a wool spinning mill in
Norway. All the unmarried hands, both
male and female, are engaged for fixed
yearly salary, and get board and lodging
at the works. There is large kitchen
and a large dining room, where the en-
ployer and employed dine together. The
owners wife herself superintends the
cooking. The bedrooms and the other
apartments are roomy and well venti-
lated; the women sleep in one end of the
building and the men in the other. They
all look healthy and fresh, and very un-
