To Exhibit Aborixines.

Anthropo1ogists all over the world are
said to be aroused by the proposition of
Professor Putnam, of Harvard, to gather
At the Worlds fair in Chicago living rep
resentatives of every race of aborig-
ines to be found on the American con-
tinent, in their own houses and costumes.
Should the proposal be carried out, stu
dents of man from all over the world
will flock to America for the occasion
and seize eagerly this only opportunity
ever offered. The cave dwellers, whose
mode of life Walt McDougaH treats with
much historical correctness in fiction,
will then be either demonstrated as ac-
tually existing or proved to have died
out.-New York World.

A lovely woman who was talking with
= friend one day about the enjoyments,
disappointlnents and heartaches of child
hood, said: The sufferings / endured
when a child were more acute than any
/ have known in later years, and the
pleasantest remembrances l have of
those far away times are of the bedtime
hours, when my mother sat by our beds
In that low rooted chamber and taught
us the songs she sung as a child, told
stories, some of which were of her child
hood, while others We're conjured up in
her own head. Some of the sweetest
hymns and sacred stories 1 learned then,
and there ever comes to me when close
my eyes faint picture of my devoted
mother sitting there in the twilight.
think the only reason that the darkness
had no terrors for me was that it nearly

An Aerohaf..Fa1I.

An act was given at, g CoEdray,s audito-
rum performance recently that was not
printed ON the programme. Stanley and
Mason do a perilous act in midair on the.
trapeze. There are two bars suspended
by ropes from the ceiling, one large and
one small Stanley was on the small
trapeze near the ceiling, and Mason on
the lower one. The man on top was
preparing to hang by his legs, let go,
drop, and, falling, catch his partner by
the feet. Stanley, who had boil on the
inside of his leg, slipped and fell. His
partner could not save him.
Every eye was riveted on the falling
acrobat and every heart stood still. To
the man himself it seemed an age. Ma
son. who was below, as quick as fash
measured the distance, and saw that if
his partner fell in that position nothing
could save his neck from being broken,
SO, as Stanley descended. he gave the
falling man a quick turn, somewhat
broke the fall, and the performer fell to
the floor with hard sound and struck
on his back.
A dozen men rushed up the aisle to
pick. up,the man, and for moment quite
an amount of excitement prevailed. He
was picked up and carried behind the
scenes.
He had fallen twenty-five feet, and his
only injury was a rough shaking up and
bruised back. Two minutes later
George Stanley appeared before the foot
lights and bowed.-Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer.

The ZodiacaI Light.

The curious phenomenon of the zodi
neal light may now be seen in the early
morning skies little before sunrise In
this latitude it takes the form of por-
ton of an ellipse whose longest diameter
is. inclined somewhat from the perpen-
dicular, and may be looked for in that
part of the sky where the sun is about to
appear. Its pearly gray light is caused
by the reflection of the suns rays from
countless swarms of meteors which re-
volve about him at different distances.
1t has recently been suggested that these
ineteors are the medium by which the
electrical connection between the sun
and the earth is established; in fact. that
they play the same part in the solar sys-
tenn that the copper wire does in the con-
veyance of electric energy from the
dynamo to the electric lamp.-New York

bidding Texans to a wedding.

This morning an unusual sight was
seen on Brenham's streets. 1t was a
horseman gayly decorated with ribbons
of every hue of the rainbow. These rib
bons were hung in clusters and festoons
all over the rider and horse. The horses
ears and forehead were covered with a
sort of cap in which were stuck feathers
of bright colors, surrounded with rosettes
and knots of ribbons
The rider was Fritz Wiesepappe, and
questions about his startling decorations
elected the information that he was the
inviting agent to MARRIAGE sort'of
animated wedding card. His brother,
Herman Wiesepappe, and Miss Bertha
Schultz are to be married next Thursday
at the home of the bride, in the Post
Oaks, five or six miles east of here, and

Art in Telling Lies.

Telling the truth is an art, but not
nearly so difficult an art as telling lies.
1t is within reach of any mans power,
If he will take time and pains, to relate
the thing that is. 1t takes man of i'm
agination and strong memory to bring
forth the thing that is not. Besides, the
har cannot carry his He all over the
world and hack 10 the creation; at some
point or other he must piece it on to the
universal truth, and to do that neatly he
must be good workman, but this is
only part of the greater question as to
vice and virtue generally. Virtue is for
all who love it; in order to become an
accomplished villain man must have
natural aptitude, careful training and
immense powers of application, and at
any time the william may be ruined, as a
villain, by the unexpected coming to
life of conscience.-All the Year Round.

Telegraphers' stories are unique some
times, and they do not hesitate to tell
them to one another. It is said that the
operators in New Haven, having always
lived there, seldom hear of anything be-
yond the limits of the city and their oper-
ating rooms. The fact was illustrated
recently when an operator in New York
remarked to the man he was working
with in New Haven that Parnell had
just died.
.'Who!n was the inquiry.
'.Parnell." was the reply
After short interval. during which,
it is supposed, the New Haven operator
was in conference with somebody, this
message was sent: eff you mean P. T.
Barnum, we heard that long ago, but no
one knows who Parnen Telegraph

a Real Saving Farmer.

There is a farmer in Massachusetts
who got his corn husked this fall with
out cost. Last spring he sowed a guam
tlty of red corn in his field among the
yellow, and then incidentally mentioned
the fact to some of the,male pupils of a
neighboring high school. At once they
solicited the privilege of husking his
corn and furnishing the refreshments
besides, and he granted both. The young
people had a good time and found
enough red ears TO satisfy them. Phi1a-

The old idea of 40 years ago was that facial
eruptions were due to "blood humor," for
which they gave potash. Thus all the old Sarsa-
parillas contain potash, most Objectionable and
drastic mineral, that instead of decreasing,
actually creates more eraptiops. You have nc
6ced this when taking other Sarsaparillas than
joys. 1t is however now known that the stom-
ach, the blood creating power, is the seat of all
vitiating cleansing operations. A stomach
clogged by indigestion or constipation, vitiates
the blood, result pinples. 4 clean stomach and
healthful digestion purfes it and they disappear.

after the modern idea to regulate the bowels and
stimulate the digestion. The effect is immediate
and most satisfactory. A short testimonial to

Editor oft Chronicle:
We have been having nice winter 30
far, the days are clear and warm like
spring, with nights cold and frosty.
There were some fears entertained for
the safety of the fall grain, but 1 do not
think the freezing has hurt the growing
grain any yet, it makes little difference
with the farmers here if the crops are
light or good. five have more grain
than hong needs require we have no
market, for we are locked up as it were
without an outlet, and the county court
holds the key, and they are not willing to
assist us in building road up Tygh
Hill. so that we can get the products of
our farm to market. 1t seems to me
that the county court would loose moth
appropriation to assist in building good
road up Tygh Hill. The county would
get the money back again in the increase
in taxes. as then every available acre of
farming land would be put under culti-
walton, which would soon enhance the
value of taxable property to such an ex-
tent in this part of the county, that the
tax payer would scarcely feel the differ
ence after the road was built. But we
have been asking the county court to
assist US in making that road for a long
time without any effect, and forbearance
has ceased to be virtue, and it seems
to me, as the primaries are to meet soon,
the voters of Tygh Valley Juniper, Oak
Grove and Wamic, should instruct the
delegates whom they send to the county
convention not to vote for any man fol
a county Office, that will not pledge
himself, Ito work if elected, to obtain 8
reasonable appropriation from the

up Tygh Hill.

The saying that mans faith is
known by his works, though somewhat
trite, becomes apropos enough when the
works materially affect the pocket.
Little credit is due to one who says he
has confidence in the town who yet
neglects to exhibit his confidence by
something more substantial than idle
words. It is srdiferent with j o, Mack.
At an expense of more than a Thousand
dollars of cold cash he has just fitted
up, in connection with his large whote-
sale liquor business, by long odds the
handsomest sample room ever seen in
this city, and.swhat is still more to his
credit, not a dollar has been expended
for material or work that has not been
gwen to the merchants and artisans OF
The, Dalles, excepting only for some
material that could not be procured
here. The carpenter work has been
done by F. Ross, the decorating by Paul
Kreft, the plumbing by Mayss& Grove.
The iDa1Ies Electric Light Company
have furnished the chandeliers, PrinzI&
Nitschke the linoleum, carpets and
curtains and WILL E. Garretson
the bronze statuary. The counter
in ash top and cherry front and the side
board is antique oak is the work of the
Oregon Furniture Manufacturing COM
pany. All is as perfect as goodtaste and
mastery skill could make it, and yet at
the risk of invidiousness one can-hardly
refrain from saying that the decorative
work of Paul Kreft and the carpenter
work of Mr.. Ross will compare with any
thing of the kind to be found here or
elsewhere. Two handsome pictures OF
the horses Salvador and Firenze, the
king and queen of the American2turf,
decorate the walls. They are magnifi-
cent pictures of two of the fastest run
ners on earth. Two bronze statues oi
ancient knights in armor, as handsome
as anything of the kind could be, adorn
the side board. A very tasteful
marble lunch counter stands
against the south wall. The sample
room measures 231s by 10 feet. 1t il

light and by night by an aggregate o
eighty candle incandescents. There ii
