Tight Lacing OF Monkeys.

Some experiments have recently
been made as the effect OF tight lacing
on monkeys. Female monkeys were
put into plaster-of-paris jackets, to
initiate stays, and a tight bandage put
around the waist to initiate peticoat
band. Several died very quickly. and
all showed signs OF injury resulting
from the treatment. OF course, with
the human being generations OF use
has bred Il tolerance so that while we
do not find such immediate fatal re-
suits. those who are capable Of form
ing an opinion yet know that the con-
striction of the vital organs OF the
body caused by tight lacing is contin-
ually working mischief within. Brit

AnlnyenlOuS Invention.

An automatic machine which forms,
fills, weighs and seals packages has
been invented, and is intended for use
where large quantities OF tobacco.
SODA, starch etc, are put up. Its
operations while curious, are simple
the working gear consisting OF a
series of forming blocks, receptacles,
folders, gummers and feeders, which
produce the package smoothly and
continuously. The forming blocks
size the paper, which is aflerward in
stantly wrapped around them and
folded and gummed ut the end. The
paper sacks thus made are then plunged
into receptacles, filled. folded ON top
and sealed. The inventor claims that
if the machine is worked to its full ca
pacity it will pay for itself in 275 days.

A CAREFUL OBSER YER

When Hon. James S. Clarkson was
in Europe, he kept his eyes open and
his wits about him, as he always does,
and among other matters, which were
closely observed by him, was the con
dition of the working-peOpleo of the old
countries. Lately at a banquet, given
in his honor ia New York, on his re-
turn, he gave his auditors the benefit
Of his observations abroad, which,
being of general interest, have occa-
stoned much discussion since. Among
other things, he said this:
A Republican visiting Europe is doubly
pleased to find that an enlarged Ameri-
can trade with other countries is not only
possible under the system Of protection,
but most largely possible through the OPP
eratiOns OF protection and reciprocity.
All doubts that | had as to the practical
new Republican system OF reciprocity,
were removed by what | saw and learned
In Europe. The intelligent Europeans OF
all classes, not only see but fear the loss
to them and the gain to America, through
the operation of these two systems. The
admission OF the London Times ana thc
other great EHropeaa papers, which they
have already been forced to make in re-
gard to the tin plate schedule of the
American act, is the highest praise to the
Republican craftsmanship which gave the
American'peOpie that bill.
General Clarkson speaks as zone
having authority" He has been to
the homes Of foreign laborers, has con
versed with them, and has taken pains
TO put himself in touch with them
He has looked at the commerce of the
world and finds an enlarged trade.
Under the beneiicent and stimulating
influences of a protective tariff oul
trade is gaining on older countries Of
the world.
1t has been flung in the face OF
every protectionist, for years, that q
high tariff country could not compete
in the markets Of the world with free
trade country, and yesAmerican pro.
ducts are carried abroad in increasing
quantities each year. II this govern
mcnt made earnest in encouraging
American vessels, our export business
would increase still more.

wark between them and what they
think is danger. There is no
danger. The Oregonian is as
great st. Bernard compared TO one

uncared for-with apologies to the
"Over-bred" black-and-tan-and did
any body ever see a great st. Bernard
harm one of the trembling little ter
riers? We wot not.
Why should there be a desire to see
the Oregonian injured by rival, and
injured is what they really desirey
Simply because IL is a great success.
The men who established the paper
worked with all their might and main
for years against great odds. With
undaunted courage and never failing
energy, combined with intelli-
gence, patriotism, earnestness OF
purpose and business acumen,
they at last placed the Oregonian on a
solid footing, legitimately secured the
exclusive services Of news sources, and
now have what some people call a
monopoly in Portland. IL can afford
to be independent now. 1t has money
that IL has earned, and il is so strong
that il never has TO resort to that sort
of performance, known only to de-

LOOK AT THIS PICTURE

Once upon a time a river burst
through its banks and, blowing
through the adjacent lands, soon
formed a new channel, to the dismay
Of farmer whose farm was mainly
washed away, or OveriOwed and
ruined.
One day while viewing the wreck
which had been wrought and the old
bed Of the river, which was now nearly
dry, the farmer, with cast-down eyes,
discovered shining substance mixed
with the sand. At first he placed
little value upon the stuff, but upon
investigation it proved to be gold, and
the poor farmer had really discovered
a rich mine, from which later on he
realized ten times the wealth he had
possessed in the farm before it was
ruined.
This might illustrate the case OF
many men, and particular ly those who
for lack Of opportunity TO speculate
in town lots, or work in town, have
gone to the country and are making
homes and small farms that will give
a certain living, besides a good profit
on their Investment.
In the vicinity OF Bellingham bay
within a radius Of ten miles-there
are small farms and vegetable gardens
that will yield 800 to $500 per acre
this year.

Of land to raise good living upon in
this country. "a little farm well
titled" is mere profitable. Forty acres
is large farm, and ten acres will be
more profitable than you would think
at first glance. You do not need a
great amount of machinery. You dc
not need expensive teams. A yoke OF
cattle, with a pony and cart
to go TO market, and your
teams are complete. Your cattle
are always valuable for beef when you

it very much resembled sawed lumber
and In fact 1t was quite as good.
Such buildings can be quite cheaply

that people hang back and hesitate t.

After riding for few hours through
the rich untamed lands surrounding

would seem that the current of the

turned from its old channels to where

in these goats, aud the squaws gather
this wool from the goat walks on the
