Professional Men May Advertise.

1 am firmly of the opinion that there is
a profitable field for development in the
direction of advertising by professional
men. After giving the subject good
deal of thought and weighing the OBJ
jections already raised and to be antici-
pated 1 have a settled conviction that
the lawyer, the doctor, the dentist, the
architect or any other professional man
can call to his aid the hmitless power of
printers ink, and advertise in display
type in the advertising columns of the
newspaper or magazine to his advantage
and without loss of self respect or public
estimation. This question has received
the attention of professional men as well
as the advertising fraternity, and, with
due respect to those who have discussed
it, maintain that they have failed to
approach the subject from its true point
of observation.
am aware that custom and a sup
posed unwritten law, which is fostered
by the exclusive and super-dignified ele-
ment of all professions, frown upon the
mere mention of this subject. It does
not follow that their ban of displeasure
and sarcastic comments in any manner
reflect upon the enterprising and indie
pendent man, who, confident of his own
worth, his professional ability, moral
and social equality, trampling on Gus
tom, appeals to the common sense of the
public for the correctness of his acts and
motives.-A. L. Teele in Printers Ink.

APersian Barber.

A Persian barber works in a style
very different from that in vogue in this
country. A typical shop was square
room, with one side open to the street.
In the center was tiny bed of flowers
sunk in the floor, from the middle of
which rose an octagonsl stone column
about three feet high.
The capital of the column formed a
receptacle for the water in which
the barber dipped his hand IS he
shaved his customers scalp In Persia
they do not ha4her. The shop was very
clean. In two recesses stood four vasea
filed with flowers, and the implements

tract teeth, branding irons to cautexize
the arteries m axnputa*ing limbs, strong

tion of which to his customers is sign
that the job is finished and that the bar.

the heads of his customers, dyes theil

bleeds them when ailing, sets their
broken bones and shampoos their bodies.

Sea Serpeuty.

Mr.. Gaxman, in q lecture before ths
Boston Society of Natural History, gave
an interesting synopsis of sea snake or
sea serpent literature, besides exhibiting
specimen of the real serpent to the as
tonished audience. The professor first
gave an historical resume of the earlier
literature upon the subject. going back
to the time of Pontoppidan and review
ing it down to date. Further on in his
lecture he gave figures of some of the
queer marine monsters which have from
time to time frightened sailors and 9TH
ers almost to death, deftly drawing each
of the figures on q blackboard specially
provided for the occasion.
Mr.. Garman also spoke of most re-
markable recent discovery which has
brought to light species of shark gen.
orally believed to have become extinct
many thousands of years ago, the re-
mains of the animal being now found in
the rocks of the Devonian system. He is
of the opinion that this recently discov-
cred sea tiger is the original of more than
one blood curdling sea serpent story.
The length and general outlines of this
should be fossiled shark are such as to
cause any one except a born naturalist
| to take it for an immense serpent, an
opinion which would, of course, be
heightened by viewing dorsal exposure
of the creature through glass in q
troubled sea.
Professor Garman does not discredit
sea serpent stories, however, and is OF
the opinion that there are many Shiny
monsters lying far down upon the bot
tom of the sea, the like of which human
eyes have never yet beheld.-St. Loui;

is Disease a Punishmente

The following advertisement, published
by a prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as punishment for sin:
''Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure 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 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 a 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 thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? It is only necessary
to take Chamberlain's 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 severe
cold within one or two days time. Try it
and be convinced. Fifty cent bottles fo1

Pleased with Oregon,
Ochoco Review.

Hon. j. T. Payne, a former law partner
of Senator Vance, of North Carolina, who
is member of the commission appoint
ed to establish the north boundary line
Of the Warm Springs agency, expresses
himself as being well pleased with what
he has seen of Eastern Oregon. He says
the commonest land that is cultivated in
Eastern Oregon is superior to anything
in his state. There, in order to raise a
crop, they have to expend from $5 to $40
an acre, each year for fertilizers, while
here the land requires nothing but culti-
vation and moisture to produce a crop.
Mr.. Payne thinks this vast country is
just beginning to be developed, and that
there is grand future in store for it.
All, he says, that is necessary to make it
one of the richest countries in the union
is energy and push. And Mr.. Paine's
observation of Eastern Oregon have been
confined principally to Wasco county,
which is by no means the flower of East
ern Oregon. When he sees all the great
Inland Empire he will no doubt have a
more exalted opinion of our resources
and the future of the country. But
from what he has seen he is so well
pleased that he is desirio'ls of investing
in unimproved land as matter of specu-
lation, and will likely make some pur-
chases before he returns to the east.
When men of as much experience as
Mr.. Payne can see so much of attraction
in a country, the old croakers who have
spent their lives grumbling at nature
because money does not grow on bushes
should cease decrying the possibilities of
this country, and if they are not willing
to take advantage of what nature offers
in the way of fine climate and productive
soil, they should quit running down the
country in order to keep others away.
| If they do not want to avail themselves
of the natural advantages which are Of
fered they ought to keep their croakings
to themselves, for they are doing an in
justice to those who would come into the
country and develop it.
| We commend the reflections in the
closing paragraph of the above to the
editor of the es-Mour,taineer.

THE TYGH HILL ROAD.

An effort is about to be made by the
people living contiguous to Tygh hill to
raise the funds necessary to build the
county road already surveyed and laid
out and granted by the county court,
over that mountain. The grade is a
good easy one and if a good road were
made, heavily laden teams could wind
up the mountain with comparative ease.
The building of the road is of immense
Importance to the citizens of that neigh
borhood. The settlements on Tygh,
Wamic, Wapinitia and the newly set
tied plateau known as Juniper Flat are
already producing more farm products
than they can find a market for, and
with facilities for reaching The Dalles
these settlements are capable of produc-
ing much more. The present road is an
insuperable barrier towards reaching a
market beyond mere local consumption
and demand. Time was when the
greater portion of these settlements was
open range for sheep and cattle and
horses, and stockmen were able to use
all the surplus. That day is now gone
forever and the people must look for
another market. The Dalles is their
only hope and only natural outlet. To
it therefore they are entitled to look for
help to carry out work that they are
scarcely able to accomplish themselves.
We do not doubt that the people south
of the mountain will contribute to the
full extent of their means and ability to
the furtherance of this work. And we
have just as little doubt that the merch-
ants and monied men of The Dalles
will come to their assistance. AS mere
matter of investment, if the appeal were
to no higher motive, anything con-
tributed to this work by the citizens oi
The Dalles will come back to them with
enhanced interest. The subscription
lists are already printed and will be in
the field as soon as the parties to whom
they will be intrusted find time to give
them attention. 1t is proposed, when
the sum of $500 is assured to commit
the management of the work to the
charge of committee of three or foul
responsible citizens who shall have
power to let the work by contract anC
have it commenced forthwith. An ap
peal will very probably be made in due
time to the county court, for such assist
ance as it my feel justified in granting
and as the appeal will have the mora
