Telling Secrets TO Men.

1t Is the mistake Of a lifetime to
give man any liberty which you
would not want known, and to expect
him to keep the matter a secret, says
Ella Wheeler Wilcox IN the Ladies'
Home Journal. The exceptional man
will sometimes hide the indiscretion
of young girl whom he be-
lieves spoke CT acted from Ignorance;
but the average man, in the
highest the same as in the lowest
walks of life, boasts of his success
with foolish women, and the rendez.
vous, the letter, the embrace, or the
souvenir which she has given him,
thinking it will never be known to
others than Themselves. is shortly the
matter of gossip among a dozen peo-
pie.
Women hide their secrets far better
than men do. They rear the cepsure
Of the world too much to share their
errors or indiscretions with conf.
dantes. But men are almost inva-
riably vain and proud of their con-
quests, and relate their achievements
with the fair sex to one or TWO admir-
ing friends. They may not use
names, but let the incidents once be
told, it is an easy matter to discover
the personages if one is at all curious
to do SO.
The only way to keep men from be-
traying our indiscretiOns Is not to
commit them. once made these re-
marks in the presence of several
ladies. and one of them replied, "that
she was glad she had never been ac-
quainted with the class of men /
knew" At the same time that lady's
name had been used lightly in a
club room not week previous, and
her indiscreet actions had been COM
mented on by 1.-THE class of men" she
did know.

HOW TO SET A TABLE.

DelmoDicO Tells How Table Should
Be Set and Arranged.
Learn first" says Delmonico in an
article in the November Ladies' Home
Journal, how to set table. a round
table is better than a square table, if
the dining room is large enough to
permit it. If no., then the ordinary
OblODg extension table must be used.
The round table is much more prefer
able and easier to seat people at, be-
sides it gives a suggestion of the
famous King Arthur and the
Knights of the Round Table"
A few prominent society women
still cling to the old-fashiOned,
narrow table. Mrs. Astor, for ex-
ample, still uses that stile of dining
table in order that her famous gold
dinner set may be placed to the best
advantage. Mrs. August Belmont,
on the contrary, prefers an oblopg
table, and the decorations for an elab-
crate dinner are carried out to make
the shape more pronounced. Flow
ers should never be absent from the
dinner table. No matter how homely
they add to the picturesqueness of the
faest.
Let US ses how a table is set for a
fashionable dinner-party. On the ia
BILE is first placed thick flannel cloth,
the thicker it is the better as ii pre-
vents noise of the dishes as they are
placed on 1t. Over this il spread
u snowy white demask table cloth,
bearing the family crest or coat-of-
arms. Sometimes over this is placed
still another, of elaborate embroidery
and lace. lined with pink or
yellow satin, as taste dictates,
or whatever color is to predOmi-
nate at the dinner. The plates are
first p aced upon the table. AS these
are To remain until after soup is serv-
ed, they are always the handsomest
in the gold or china sets, as the case
may be. Don't crowd. Each guest
should be allowed a space of two feet
or twenty-siX inches, if the table will
admit of il, and the plates placed at
equal distances apart. Place two
dinner forks to the left of
each plate; also an oyster
fork with prongs resting on the
edge of the plate. On the right
must be dinner knife and a spoon
for soup. The glasses are arranged at
the right of each guest on a line with
the inner edge of the plate. The
water glass is set next to the plate.
Then glasses for whatever other bev-
erages are intended TO be served. A
glass, whether of water or any other
liquid, should never be filled more
than three quarters full.

ALBERT EDWARD, Prince of Wales,
has grown to bald headed, no hair
apparent heir-apparent to the British
crown, but there is no crown yet in
sight for him but the crown of his
smooth old head. Fifty years old,
still waiting for the crown that may
never be his to wear. A man grow
ing aged in years, and yet in political
leading strings, a boy in political fact,
mere minor with all his half CEN
fury of experience and waiting, his lot
is not one very much to be envied.

Is Disease q tournaments

The following advertisement, published
by prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as punishment for sin:
A''Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a sever cold? We will tell
you. To cure cold qickly, 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 warning
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as a punishment for some indiscre-
ton, you are to be afflicted with 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 expectoration and
the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is a thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? 1t is only necessary
to take Cham berlain' g Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
most cases will effectually counteract it,
and cure what would have been a severe
cold within one or two days time. Try ii
and be convinced" !" Fifty cent bottles fo1
sale by Snipes & Kinersley, druggists.

The dispatches inform US that senator
Dolph is tracing the history of the ap-
plication for the right of way over the
government land at the Cascades.
Major Handbury had recommended that
the government construct the road, pro-
vided the state would agree to transport
over the road materials for the govern
ment works. With the usual delay and
red tape nothing has been done further
than that one official thinks it would be
all right, and another thinks otherwise,
and the boss of the red tape outfit and
high chief cockalorum of the circumlocu-
ton office has gone fishing or something.
The chief of engineers had recommended
that the work-be ordered done by the
government but the assistant secretary
of war in the absence of the secretary
referred the matter to the Judge advocate
though the secretary had no authority,
SO the matter is now referred to the at
torney general, or rather the assistant
attorney general. Senator Dolph hopes
for a favorable result. Meanwhile the
circumlocution office, is drawing it's sal
ary, while the Columbia river is slowly
rising every day.

G. Root and G. w. Hudson, yardmaster,
have givensus a aversion of the accident
that occurred to Jim Blakney's team yes
terday. which places the matter in a
very different light. They assure US
that the engine was stopped three cars
lengths from the team, and that engin-
eer Farmer waited, before moving, till
he received signal from the driver OF
the team indicating that he might back
up. After Mr.. Farmer started the en-
CINE he noticed that the team. began to
back again, when he promptly stopped
the engine the second time, and waited
until the team and wagon backed over

The Land once Rulings.
THE DALLEs, Or, April s,

1AE OALLh5, VI, "A APlih ., 1O"A.
EDITOR CHRONICLE: Please allow a
word in your columns in defense of out
ragged Justice. Your streets are crowded
with applicants to enter the forfeited
lands according to the provisions of the
forfeiture act which every school-boy OF
the land has read and understands.
Among the provisions of said act as
every intelligent man knows is one Civ
ing the eligible applicant the right to
purchase at $1.25 per acre not more than
32O acres, and make payment any time
within two years from the passage of
said act. Many have come from a dis
tance, intending to enter their lands
under this provision, not having brought
the purchase money with them, as the
law does not ask it and are very much
surprised, on presenting their purchase
applications, at having them refused on
the grounds of not being accompanied
by the cash. i assume that this is a des-
potic ruling of Captain Lewis, without a
shadow of an excuse. All the instruc-
tions they have had on which they
could possibly base their refusal of these
applications are contained in letter to
the La Grande office which states sThe
presentation of notice of intention to
purchase under said section will not in
sure the land from disposal"
1t certainly does not require more
than bushel of brains to enable any
man to see that this has no bearing in
the case whatever. and l challenge Capt.
Lewis to produce any instructions which
any reasonable individual can construe
as a justification of his refusal. And
further, if in his mental bewilderment
| he imagines he has right to refuse these
applications, he certainly does know he
has no right to refuse to officially reject
them, for the Goth rule of the Rules of
Practice(a copy of which every land Of
| fee should have)specifless that the reg
lister and receiver shall indorse upon
every rejected application the date and
the reason for rejection and note upon
the records a memorandum of the trans
action" But he has even assumed the
authority to refuse to reject these ap-
plications which would place them on
file for thirty days with privilege of ap-
peal consequently many parties are
held here away from important work, on
heavy expenses and puzzled to know
what course to pursue. =.
| iIclaim this is an inexcusable and jun-
just imposition on the right of settlers
and the facts should be known to the
public. .r
/ ] will say further that Col. Lang, act
ing in the absence of Capt. Lewis who is
sick u has at all times shown a willingness
to actin harmony with the original rul-
ings and in justice to the applicants, but
strict orders from Mr.. Lewis prevents
him from so doing. J. A. SoRsBE.

during the battle at Caldera five torpedoes

vessels, sinking the monitor HuAscar as
we'll as the Blanco Encalada. The dispatch
adds that President Balmaceda's feet, after

Further news received from Chile il to
the effect that the wsrship Florence, which,
up the present has been loyal to President
Balmaceda, has now gone over to the insur-
gents.
1t is also stated that President Balmaceda
Is in dread Of boiug poisoned. To such an
