Price of silver.

A Correspondent asks: What is
the lowest price silver has reached?
On the 18th of March, 1892, 1t
was worth only $50 cents an ounce,
fine; a decline in nineteen years Of
AZ cents an ounce, or over 80 per cent
Forty years ago England and Portugal
were the only European countries
which maintained a gold standard.
Silver was really the money OF Eu-
rope. To-day the situation is re-
versed. The worlds product of silver
for the year 1891 was 143, $50, 900
ounces, which had commercial value
OF S141, 1927 900, or coinage value
here of S1s5, 800, 900. The real value
of the silver in our silver dollar rs
only about two-thirds its face or legal
tender value. The only minis now
open to the coinage OF silver for in
dividuals are those OF India, Japan,
Mexico, and few OF the South
American States. Fluctuations in
the value OF silver are an embarrass-
ment to trade.

We do not intend to perpetrate slang.
IN this case the bacllli infect the soup.
We quote from q writer In the British
and Colonial Druggist: -The danger Of
eating certain kinds OF timed and pre-
served meats, especially those liable TO
rapid fermentation. is now we'll known.
Several deaths have been recently re-
ported due to this cause, and too much
care cannot be exercised in eating this
kind of food during the present season
OF the year. Another damage has re-
Gently been brought to light. and one
that cannot be TOO widely known. The
preparation of the compound called
stock Is we'll known to most house,
wives and those who know anything
about cooking. It Is usually composed
OF odds and ends of all kinds OF food
that have been left, which are put away
by cooks and preserved In large jars.
These are occasionally not used up for
some length of time. The compound is
largely employed in the kitchens OF
hotels and restaurants for making soups,
gravy and other savory adjuncts to the
gastronomic art. From recent invest
igation of certain samples OF pork and
gravy stock. DR.. Klien has discovered
that bacillus Is found In the latter.
He succeeded In obtaining the organ
isms from the lungs of mice that had
been fed on stock, which on the second
day had developed severe intestinal dis
turbance and col gestion Of the lungs
He describes the bacillus as being In
the form of threads or rods of various
lengths, OF which he was able to make
civilizations. Cooks should be warned
that stock ought to be kept in jars from
which the air can be excluded, anc
should not be used after 1t has beer
kept longer than three or four days
The very composition of the compound
renders it a suitable medium for the de-
velopment OF organisms, which
when taken into the system, may do ar
incalculable amount of harm" This
caution is important and deserves heed
ing.

The I.axatiYe Gum Drop.

The Laxative Gum Drop is new
form of laxative that has just been
placed upon the market. 1t resembles
in form and taste the gum drop of the
confectioners, but it has no medicinal
taste. 1t is, however, an effective
but pleasant laxative, without gripping
or discomfort. These drops can be
carried in the pocket or the valise
without danger or injury. They can
be given to the children without their
suspecting that they contain medicine,
for they will never find this out from
the taste, although they will from the
effect. In short, they contain the
elements of a perfect laxative with
out any Of the unpleasant accompani-
ments that usually surround this class
of remedies. There is no spoon, no
liquid, no bottle, no unpleasant re-
minders that there is such thing as
medicine. They can be taken at any
time. Ask your druggist for the Lax
alive Gum Drop, and IL he will not
order them for you write to us. Small
boxes 10 cents, large ones rs cents.

Pictures Of Indians In the Weird Danes
That They Affect.

Pictures OF Indians In the Weird Dance
That They Affect.
Among the latest work OF the Blu
reau OF Ethnology which is being pre-
pared for the Chicago exhibition is
set OF six large transparencies, en-.
larged from kodak pictures OF the
ghost dance.
There have been many accounts OF
the dance given OF late in the papers,
and some spirited Illustrations, said
to have been taken from life, but IL
can be safely said that they are all
the work OF a vivid Imagination, and
that these pictures are the only ones
that have yet been taken from life.
They are the work Of Mr.. James
Mooney, of the bureau, who has for
two years past made careful study
of the dance In all its phases, and
has seen il enacted hundred times
or more, says the Washington Post.
The ghost dance is a purely re-
ligious performance, and being par
ticularly secretiye IN all matters con-
ected with his religious beliefs and
observances, the Indian was natural
ly loath to admit outsiders to view
of this important ceremony; but by
discreet and diplomatic approaches
this opposition was overcome, and
the result is an invaluable COLLECTION
of snapshot negatives, taken directly
in the dance circle, with hundreds OF
Indians in all stages of dress and un-
dress leaping and shouting around.
Some of the pictures show the
dancers in the state OF mesmeric
catalepsy into which they are thrown
by the nervous excitement Of the
dance. Both the messiah himself
and two of the dance leaders, Sitting
Bull (Arapahoe) and Cedar Tree, are
expert hypnotiZers, and five minutes
work with black handkerchief or an
eagles feather can throw almost any
of their followers into trance, leav.
ing them standing motionless, with
arms outstretched, for half an hour
at time, until they fall unconscious.
Others of the transparencies show
the dancers in the state of collapse
that follows their exertions, and
Others again illustrate the attitudes
of prayer and duplication.
The pictures are altogether a most
unique collection. With them will
be sent to Chicago many life-sized casts
of the Indians in costumes and va
rious utensils and ornaments con-
nected with the ghost-dance cere-
mony. There is in the possession OF
the bureau an original letter from
the messiah, explaining the methods
and object Of the dance to delega-
tion Of Arapahoes and Cheyennes,
who carried back the information
and spread the dance among all the
prairie tribes.
The messiah, or Jack Wilson, as he
is called by the whites who know
him, 10 full-blooded Piute and
speaks no English. The credit o.
preparing the transparencies from
the kodak negatives belongs to Mr.
J. X. Killers, the photographer o.
the bureau.

They should be fed on a variety Of

while giant trees and over 300 houses
became its sport.
The storm struck the city in the south
west and swept to the northeast, large
area of which is left in ruins. Here it
dipped to the ground, sucking up houses
and trees and carrying them away in its
giant embrace; again it skipped n block,
only once more to stoop as If with re-
newed energy and continue its course of
devastation and death. Trees, lamp
posts and telegraph poles were torn
from the ground and hurled through the
sides of buildings or were twisted into
fantastic shapes and crashed into the
roadway, while entangled in them tele-
graph wires formed network making
the streets impossible. The width OF
the cyclones path was about two blocks
and the brunt of 1t was felt in
the business part of the city and
in the northeastern end. 1t whirled
up Washington avenue, twisting like a
corkscrew, razing to the ground spleD-
didly built structures and leaving un-
touched rookcries almost unfit for hab-
itation. The First Presbyterian Church
was one of the first buildings it touched,
and this it blew to the four winds of
the heavens. Part of the building was
forced into the parsonage without in
flicting any injury on any of the occu-
pants. The Lutheran Church, frame
building, was picked up, turned com
pletely over, with the floor upward, and
left apparently as solid as though it
had been built that way. The Elliott,
Cole & Robinson block was totally
demolished and the ruins after
ward took fire. The scene here
was appalling lin it's sadness. In
one part OF the building lived a Mrs.

The diver, as the reader may mag
Inc, gets many scares when below,
says II. Whitemarsh in the Century.
A fifteen-foot shark, magnified by the
water, and making bee line for one,
is sufficient to make the stoutest
heart quake, In spite OF the assertion
that sharks have never been known
to attack a man in dress. Neither is
the sight Of large turtle comforting
when one does not know exactly what
it is, and the coiling of sea-snake
around ones legs, although it has
only ones hand TO bite at, is, to say
the least, unpleasant. A little fish
called the stonefish is one of the enc
mics of the diver. 1t seems to make
its habitati0n right under the pearl
shell, as it is only when picking them
up that any one has been known to
be bitten. remember well the first

learned that staying down couple
of hours after a bite will stop any
further discomfort, the pressure of
water causing much bleeding at the
bitten part, and thus expelling the
poison. One of the strange effects
that diving has upon those who prac-
tice it is the invariable bad temper
felt while working at the bottom,
and as this irritability passes away as
soon as the surface is reached again
it is only reasonable to suppose that
it is caused by the unusual pressure
of air inside the dress, affecting prob
ably the lungs, and through them the
brain. My experience has been that
while below one may fly into the
most violent passion at the merest
trifle: for instance, the lifeline held

or too little, or some imaginary

A Man of Adventure.

John Switzler, who now lives within
one mile of Pendleton, thirty-six years
ago saved the lives of thirty persons at
the Cascades, on the north side of the
Columbia River, at place at that time
called the Upper Cascades. John is now
old and well wearied with years. But
then he was young man and after max
ing thirty persons safe he ran the gaunt-
let for mile with other parties, some
OF whom were wounded, while others
were killed by the Yakima and Klikitat
Indians. Yet he arrived at the fort safe
and sound and in time to care for the
wounded in the fort, where twelve sol
diers were imprisoned three days and
nights.-East Oregonian.

Dairy Notes.

DAtTy
The United Kingdom OF Great Brit
ain has % people to one COW. We
have one for every 4.3 persons.
Only three OF the countries of Eu-
rope have more COWS In proportion to
population than the United States,
and these three altogether have only
3,l91, $50, while the United States
had, within the same decade, nearly
Is, GOO, 600.
The Pacific Rural asserts that the
butter from sweet milk or cream will
ripen to the flavor Of that made from
acid cream in forty-eight hours.
If the COW finds the mixer to be
her friend, she yields with pleasure
to the operation.
Dairying has a four-fOld advantage
over most other branches OF farming.
1t brings spot cash, it yields more
money for the feed consumed, it saves
the natural fertility Of the farm, and
it makes increased fertility easy.
By adding weak brine literally to
the churn before any attempt is made
to remove the buttermilk, one gets
an effect of water and brine that they
do not get at any subsequent period,
dissolying power that takes out
buttermilk and frees the butter from
the casein and albumen that In some
way does not seem to go afterwards.
