would on no account have forgiven him.
I looked at Silvio with surprise. Such
confession completely upset me. Silvio
continued:
Precisely so; 1 had no right to endanger
my life. Six years ago received slap in
the face, and my enemy still lives"
"Did you not fight him?" inquired.
Circumstances probably separated you?"
II did fight him." replied Silvio, "and

He rose and took from a cardboard box q

From my youth this has been my passion.

too sharp and experienced not to notice this

him, for I observed that once or twice he
hinted at an explanation. But wanted

The busy occupants of the capital have
no idea Of the emotions so frequently ex-
perienced by residents in the country and
in country towns; as, for instance, in await
ing the arrival of the post. On Tuesdays
and Fridays the bureau of the regimental
staff was crammed with officers. Some were
expecting money, others letters or newspa-
pers. The letters were mostly opened on the
spot, and the news freely inrerchsnged, the
Office meanwhile presenting most lively
appearance.
Silyio's letters used to be addressed to our
regiment, and he usually called for them
himself On one occasion, letter having
been handed to him, l saw him break the

Right in the midst of the busiest part

GOOD GRAVEL PAVEMENT.

Those who represent the prop sed
paving improvement as taking up
of foot of solidly packed gravel
and hauling 1t of, only to have
foot of loose gravel put back, either
have not read the specifications and
do not know what is proposed to be
done, or they wilfully misrepresent
the facts as to gravel roads and
gravel paved streets. To begin with.
the streets ~ Salem were never
made of good clean gravel, The
material now on the streets Of Salem
Is half gravel, sand and mud, mixed
in with the filth of years accumulat-
ell thereon. The streets of Salem
were never covered with layers Of
perfectly clean sifted gravel, rolled
down solid.
1t is not proposed to haul on the
same material that 1t is proposed to
take off. 1t is not proposed to
dump on loose gravel. Those who
make such representations do so for
a purpose. 1t is proposed to build a
well-rounded, well-drained sub way,
put the clean sifted gravel on in
courses and roll each course. TIE
result would be a street such as
Salem has never had aud never can
have with present conditions. Those
who imagine that clean gravel laid
on a drained surface will not make
a smooth, hard, dry street, can be
convinced otherwise by going over
the gravel road at the asylum, or
the gravel roads to Mr.. Wal|ace's
farm. Good gravel pavenents can
be huilt.

Strychnine as an antidote for snake
poison has long been known in Aus
tralia, but it has been reserved for DIR.
Mueller, of Yackadandah, in the col
ony of Victoria, to explain in definite
fashion the theory and practice of that
rather formidable remedy. This ex-
perienced practitioner-who assures us
that out of about 100 cases, some of
them at the point of death, treated by
this method only one has been known
to fail-dissolves one part of nitrate of
strychnine in 240 parts of water min
gled with little glycerin. The mix
ture is injected under the skin in any
part of the body-the neighborhood of
the bitten part, however, being pre-
ferred.
Strychnine and the poisonous secre-
ton which the snakes fang injects into
the wound are described as Thorough
ly antagonistic, and Dr. Mueller as
sures us that no hesitation need be felt
in pushing the use of the drug to guam
titles that would be fatal in the alb
sence of snake poison. The Zone fail
ure" referred to above is attributed to
the mistake of discontinuing the opera
ton after a grain and a quarter Of
had been injected. London

hibit was a great attraction at the

inspection of all exhibits placed the

was attracted by the fine textures
of the woods used, the combinations
of colors and their artistic arrange
ment. The samples Of chevoits

and broadcloths were the peer of
any goods produced in the civilized
world and Oregonians might well
be proud of them.
The display of ready made cloth.

important Trade Name Decision.


Judge Thayer, of the United
States Circuit Court at st. Louis,
has recently handed dowu an opiu
ion, aud granted a perpetual injunc-
ton against the defendants in the
case of The Hostetter Company
against the Bruggeman, Reinert
Distilling Co., alias "Gold Spring
Distilling Co.." prohibiting the ad-
vertlsing, manufacturing or selling
of any article of stomach bitters,
either in bulk, by the gallon or 9th
wise, or in auy way making use of
the name of "Hostetter" except in
con nectiOn with the sale of the gen
uine bitters, which are always sold
in bottles securely sealed, and also
prohibiting the sale of any bitters
in bulk, though the name "Hostet-
ter" be not used, but the suggestion
made to the purchaser that he can
put them in the empty Hostetter
bottles, and purchasers would not
discover the difference. His decis-
ion supports The Hostetter Com
pany in the exclusive use of the
name "HOstetter" in connection
with either the manufacture or sale
of stomach bitters in anv manner
or form whatsoever, and firmly
establishes its ownership in the
name of "Hostetter" as a Trade
Name"
