Mis-. Br.ddon a. ..n1y Lady,

Among the new knights are the broth
ers of two novelists, Miss Braddon and
Miss Olive Schreiner. It has often oc-
CURED to me that it would be well to
found an order for women which would
give those possessing it the right to pre-
fix Lady to their names. "Let me
make the peoples songs and will gov
ern them with ease" said somebody.
And if any minister had the power to
create Ladies' my impression is that he
would remain minister for very con-
siderable time. What peace would
Jones, M. p, have if Mrs. Jones knew
that it only depended on his submissive
ness for her to blossom forth into Lady
Jones?
Putting, however, aside this political
advantage, why should disting guished
men be made knights and distinguished
women not be made ladies? IF we are
to have knights with ribbons round
their necks and across their breasts. it
would be only fair II these ornaments
were also conferred on their wives.
am entirely against woman suffrage, but
see no objection to women sharing in
all this sort of decorative adornment;
and assuredly, if they merit title, it is
absurd that the only way for them to
obtain it is to give one to their hus-
bands. Mr.. Braddon, l make no doubt,
is deserving of the prefix of Sir" But
his sister, Miss Braddon, has at least an
equal right to the prefix of Lady

A Pioneer Passing AWAY.

MIR. and Mrs. J. H. Shearer left this
city last night on their way to Hunting
ton to visit their adopted daughter, Mrs.
Grimes, who is reported to be danger
ously i'll from nervous rheumatism. :"
During short conversation with Mr..
and Mrs. Shearer yesterday afternoon we
learned that an old and respected citizen
of The Dalles and of this county, L. Tir-
ril, also lies at the point of death at
Huntington. In fact SO little hope is
entertained of his recovery that Mr..
Shearer expects to be accompanied by
his remains on his return. He is suffer-
ing from verulent form of typhoid
fever. This will be sad news to many an
old friend and acquaintance. The severe
and protracted winter of year ago left
Mr.. Thrill penniless, it having destroyed
$10,0 900 worth of his sheep-all he had.
Poor Tirrel! A bigger-hearted, more
generous, kinder or honester fellow never
lived. If indeed he should leave us, we
shall not soon see his like again. He
was one of natures own noblemen. His
stricken and distressed wife will have
the warmest sympathy of all who ever
knew them both.

A Few Gems.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,
Bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
With gold of obedience, and incense of lowlincss,
Knee1 and adore him, the Lord is his name.
Low at his feet lay thy burdens of carelessness,
High on his heart he will bear it for thee,
Comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerful-
ness,
Guiding thy steps may best for thee be.
Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness
OF the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as
thine:
Truth in its beauty, and love n,its tenderness
These are the off rings to lay on his shrine
These though we bring them i'll trembling and

He will accept for the Name that is dear;
Mornings of Joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear

A BROAD MEANING.

The opening sentence of the Bible:
"In the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth,'' contains five
great universal terms, and speaks of as
many boundless totalities-God, heaven,
earth, creation and the beginning. 1t is,
perhaps, the most weighty sentence ever
uttered, having the most gigantic mem
bers.. In its comprehensive sweep it
takes in all past time, all conceivable
space, all known things, all power and
intelligence, and the most comprehensive
act of that intelligence and power. This
sublime sentence is a declaration on all
the great problems that have exercised
scientists and philosophers for sixty
centuries.
The pastors of The Dalles are very
careless about sending in notice of their
church services. This journal is always
ready to publish such notices when they
are sent in. The reason for the nom
compliance of the ministers may be
from their disinclination to preach to
large congregations and if such is the
case they are excusable. We cannot
say that there will be any preaching in
this city to morrow but presume there
will be. We except Rev. DIR. Brown

Eating Gala Roots.

A new vegetable is about to be intro
duced 10 the people of the United States
through the Department of Agriculture.
1t is the root of the sacca lily, which re-
sembles somewhat in appearance the or
binary Irish tuber, with the addition of
q few whiskers that have nothing to do
with the quality of the article as an escu-
lent. 1t is moro elongated and when
cut the interior is trihe more viscid.
But section of it is so potato-like you
would not be likely to distinguish any
difference. In cooking it has first TO be
boiled in order to destroy certain acrid
properties, after which it may be fried,
roasted, baked, or what not, according to
taste.
Farmers in Florida have begun to raise
these Gala roots for market. The plants
grow readily in swamps, and so thickly
that the yield Of single flooded acre is
enormous. They reproduce themselves
by the multiplication of their bulbs
under ground, so that the grower has
simply to dig up the ofshots and leave
the parents to propagate anew. For
centuries the Egyptians have cultivated
a similar crop during the season of the
Nile overflow, and at the present time
Gala lily buds are common vegetable
in Japanese markets. So prolific and
palatable are they that their propaga-
ton in many parts of the United States
where conditions are favorable may rea-
sonably be looked forward to as an agri-
cultural industry of the future Port
land Oregonian.

Feather Beds Are Scarce.

Feather beds are rapidly becoming
thing of the past" said dealer in bed
ding to The Man About Town. THE
double action, patent twist wire bed and
the cool, hard, hair mattress have
usurped their place, and few of them
can be found in this city outside the
German families. who used feather beds
i'm their native homes. The bed of to-
day is the hair article. All sorts of
mattresses are on the market-husk,
spring, cork, and fine wire mattresses
have been introduced. Various compo-
sitions have been invented, are calcu-
lated TO take the place of the feather
bed, and after long years of supremacy
it has at last given way and, save among
foreigners and old people, il has no
friends. Young people will not have
feather beds. Many of them want hair
mattresses, hair holsters and even hair
pillows. In the summer these are GER
tainly preferable to feather bedding, be-
cause they are cooler. II has been said
that feathers arc unhealthy, but this is
fallacy. They have not been discarded
for sanitary reasons. but merely as a
matter of preference. LIST. Louis

A Michigan Man Falls to Awake from n
six-Months' Nap.
Two young people, George A. Wyard. of
Montague. and Miss May White. OF Stock
bridge, Mich, have been sleeping six
and Eve months respectively. Wyard
died recently. His prolonged slum-
Der followed an obstinate case OF
the grip. For four months he never
spoke word or left his couch. About
Aug. he moved slightly and murmured
few incoherent words, but never
fully regained consciousness. He suf-
fered from a pain in the back of
the head. At death he weighed less
than fifty pounds, although when in
health he weighed ITO pounds. Miss White
has brief intervals OF waking nearly every
day. when she cheerfully predicts her re-
covsry. Her sleep is SO deep that a pin
puncturing her arm produces no effect

followed by spinal fever.

Economy in Steam Power.

One of the modern ideas Of the eco
nomical use of steam power is the use of
number of small engines located at
various points in large shop, instead of
single engine of sufficient power to
drive all the machinery. Professor Cole
man Sellers asserts that with the best
shafting that can be made hardly one
half of the power generated by the engine
reaches the machines when distributed
by means of long shafts. So great is the
ffictIon mar lsnurr TWO mrfes rong
could not be turned by any amount of
power applied at one end, as the shaft
would be twisted off before it would turn.
In the new shops of the Pennsylvania
Railroad at Altoona and Walls Station,
this idea of subdividing power has been
admirably carried out. In the Altoona
shops there are seventeen small engines,
ranging from FIVE to eighty horse power,
and there are five engines in the Walls
shops. The same idea has also been
carried out at the Newport News VA
shipyards. New Orleans Times-Demo-
