Bridget's Dilemma,

A newly arrived domestic was secured
to do housework by an up town family
in Lewiston. In the course of her duties
she was told to iron some clothes and
hang them upon the horse. A little later
the maid appeared before her mistress
with the clothes in her hands and look
of manifest perplexity on her face.
"Why didn't you hang the clothes
upon the horse, Bridget?' inquired the
latter.
'.Sure, an / tried to, ma'am, but he
kept movin, SO he did, an they wouldn't
stay"
Sure enough, knowing no other horse
in her native land, she had gone to the
stable and endeavored to hang them upon
the restive Dobbin, with the result indi-
Gated. The above is fact.-Lewiston

Cures for the Blaeg.

Do you ever have the blues: OF course
you do. for there never yet lived q man
or woman whose soul cast no shadow.
These times of depression, from which
we all of us suffer more or less, arenoth-
ing more than the shadows cast by our
souls in the road along which we are
walking heavenward. Sunshine rays
produce shadows. and the fact that our
souls go into eclipse now and then
proves that there is sunshine just behind
US. But what do you do when you get
the bluess Do you cry or scold or NOPE?
Is it hard to live in the same house with
you while the shadow falls athwart
your way? Do the children get out of
the road when they see you coming?
have found one excellent cure for the
blues which l mean to tell right here.
Go straight to work and do something
for some one more miserable than your
self. Whatever your trouble may be,
there is always some one to be found
who has harder lot to bear. The other
day young wife was deserted by her
husband and taken to the hospital to face
terrible illness, without friend to
stand by her in her hour of need, and
with not cent to defray expenses or un-
lock the door Of the future. Suppose you
so hunt her up and offer a helping hand.
Such betrayal and desertion discounts
your puffs of vapor. A mother watched
the coffin lid close the other day forever
and forever, SO far as mortal time
counts, between her yearning eyes and
the face of her only boy. What is your
transient depression compared to the
heart anguish of such grief as hers?
Don't you think it would. help cure you
of the blues if you sat down and wrote
that mother letter, or dropped in for
an hour or two to keep her company? 1t
seems such q selfish thing to be so exc;u-
sive in bearing trouble. A load shared
is load lightened, and the deepest
gloom takes on a bright tint now and
then if overshone with the sunshine
of love.-Chicago Herald

The cultivators of this coast, on lands
without irrigation, have net found
much use for barn yard and stable man
nres, especially when fresh. They have
found that its application generally di-
minished crops instead of increasing
them. The heat Of the manure and the
openness of the soil caused by it's
coarseness, causes the loss of too much
uoistnre. On quite sandy soils, even
well rotten manure has not always
given satisfaction. The indications are
that manures should be spread late in
autumn, and for grain and hay, after
sowing. Spread it evenly and thinly, so
that the rains will soak its strength into
the soil. The coarse portions act as a
mulching. In orchards the manure, if
used, should be spread broadcast over tie
whole surface in autumn. It is true, if
there is much rain, much of its strength
will wash away.

A High Priced Stamp.

The highest priced postage stamp in
existence is the famous Dundee stamp,
worth $500, and not purchasable at
that price. James Chalmers, of Dundee,
was the inventor of the adhesive postage
stamp in 1884. The stamp is in the pos
session of Sigmund Friedl, an extensive
postage stamp merchant of Unter Dol
berg, Vienna. It was exhibited at the
Vienna Jubilee Stamp exhibition. The
postage stamp museum, held on May IS.
1891, at Vienna, displayed this gem as
the greatest attraction among 8, 200, ,000
stamps and other objects exhibited there.

treasured Hoof.

A very interesting relic has fallen into
the possession of the well known Bir-
minghan physician, Sir James Sawyer.
It is one of the hoofs of the identical
horse that Lord Cardigan rode in the
charge of the Light Brigade. Lady
Sawyer's father, who was Lincolnshire
rector, received this precious relic Of the
historic charge from Lord Cardigan, and
it bears an inscription to this effect. The
four hoofs are now disposed Of as fol-
lows: The Prince of Wales, an honor
airy colonel of the Tenth Hussars, has
one; another belongs to the officers Of
that famous regiment, and it Is brought
out at mess on state occasions; the
Countess Of Cardigan owns a third; and
the last, which is the off hind hoof,
graces the sideboard Of Sir James Saw
yer. It is beautifully mounted in silver,
aud is naturally highly priced by its
owner.-London Tit-Bits,

Tho A1e Of Trees.

I once counted the annual growths OF
rings of an Arkansas cypress, Ga inches
in diameter, and found it had been
growing GAG years. or was two hundred
years of age when Columbus made his
little voyage of discovery. Our Coast
redwood runs-the larger specimens
from 1000 to 6,0OO years of age and over;
and one of the largest has been seen
growing directly over the sound log of
another monster, while the great red
wood of the Sierra is estimated to hang
onto life from 5000 to 20, 900 years. Now
who will tell us how long it has been
since the squirrels sported in the
branches of the great petriied forests
of Sonoma county, Cal. There they
lay just rs the great earthquake shook
them out of the ground. A man in
want of dry lot of wood would be
quite liable to spoil a good ak on them.

U.e of PIGEONS for Speculation.

In modern times the pigeons have been
used for purposes of commerce and spec

italian had the winning numbers in the
lotteries thus sent to him, and it is a
well known fact that the London branch
of the great Rothschim banking house

three days in advance Of the govern

by buying up government stock, then
very much depressed, and selling again
when the rise came.-Denver Repub'

Our Midget is little over three years
old. She was taken down to Coney is
land, and after an hour or two spent in
seeing the sights it was ordained that her
nurse should give her a dip in the salt
waters of old ocean. In the bathhouse
the object of her visit to the beach was
made known to her, but when she
reached the waters edge she fatty re-
fused to be taken in.

and the cares of house on her hands
could be called "a lady," She was talk
ing to her aunt-a young lady-one day
about certain friend of the family who
came up to Grace's standard of lady
hood. "And what do you think of mey'
asked her aunt. Without the least in
tention of being impolite but with very
decided ideas of her own, nevertheless,
Grace replied: "Humph! you're not a

A WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Electricity In a Surgical operation su,


cess.
One OF the most delicate surgical
operations ever performed in San
Francisco was that to which Nj. Baehm,
a patient at tho city and county hos
pitaL was subjected recently. The
operation was remarkable in that an
eudoscope, or small electric light, was
used during the process This was
thrust into the thoracic cavity. and
by its illumination the action OF the
heart and lungs was plainly visible.
This is the first case reported on the
Pacific coast where the electric endo-
scope was used in difficult surgery
with beneficial results
Baehm was afflicted with an abcess.
which had formed i'll the pleural cav
ity and attacked the left lung. The
operation was an exceedingly danger
Gus one. and in order not to shock the
paGent no mention OF the intention of
the physicians was made to him.
The sick man was quickly anesthe-
tized and the inflated breast was OK
posed 10 view. A discoloration on
the left side showed that the trouble
lay under the tissue in that direction.
and DR.. Ellinwooi began operatio MS
at once by making two deep incisiOns
cross-wise from which the blood
spurted in streams Several OF the
larger blood vessels were necessarily
cut but these were quickly ligatured
with DR.. Stillman's assistance. The
flaps OF flesh were laid to ono side ex-
posing the third rib to view. The
rib was resected for three inches,
and when it was cut away dark and
bloody opening was revealed. through
which tho thoraclc cavity and the
space between the lungs could be
seen. Dr. Hirschieder inserted the
endoscope through the opening in
Baehm's breast and the light was
turned on. illuminating the interior of
the cavity with remarkable distinct
ness.
The heart worked slowly owing to
the effect OF ether The aorta dilat-
ed and fell with every heart beat
The lung was also plainly visible
During the one hour and half con-
sumed in making the operation the
action of the heart was distinctly WISH
BILE. and the unusual sight was the
sub. ect of much comment on the part
of the operators and spectators
When the process was completed and
every vestige of pus removed. the
endoscope was withdrawn and the
opening in Baehm's breast closed.
The operation was a highly success
full one in every particular and
Baehm's condition shows that he is
gaining strength. Electricity.

SOLID SOUTH vs. SOLID NORTH

Horton Headlight.
ID. G.. Olinger, a strong Peoples
party man in this county, is hot, very
much so, since reading of the treat
ment given Weaver in Georgia. Last
Tuesday in the presence of a number
he said:
at is not American, and is treason
able to deny any man free speech.
The people of the south held out
promises to our party in the north
that they would break what has been
called the Solid South, but they have
proven themselves traitorOus; l do
not believe that the south will ever
be anything but solid Democratic
South, and the only way can see is
for the Peoples party to join forces
with the Republicans and make the
North a solid Republican North. 1
have thought that we might elect
Weaver with the aid of the silver
forces of the South and West, but
now do not believe the South will
ever be anything but solid Democrat
ic and | am i'm favor of making the
North just as solid Republican. L
would .ather see the devil elected
than to see Grover Cleveland elected.
Every egg thrown at Weaver was a
bloody shirt" and l would like to
go again and do over again what was
done in '6l-'65. The South said they
would shake hands with us, but they
have dene it by egging our candidate
and degraded themselves by their
acts. If it is to be a solid
South and it will never be
else, l am i'm favor of solid
North"
Mr.. Olinger's words are only those
of a number of other Peoples party
men in this county who not only
going to be rOped in to assist in elect
ing Grover Cleveland.
