CHEESE TAKES A DROP.

An amusing incident has occurred in
connection with Canada's mammoth
cheese now at the Worlds Fair. 1t
appears that the floor of the dairy
building is ten or twelve feet above
mother earth. Evidently the mite"
scorns the class of building which the
Worlds fair commissioners have err
ected to house it. On Saturday, de-
termined to reach terra flrma the man,
moth concentrated its weight of eleven
tons steadily towards the center of
gravity and brought the whole floor
down until the cheese rested on solid
earth, The mite" was not hurt. but
the tioor was. Prof. Robertson. when
he heard of the catastrophe. bore the
news with equanimity. 1t is expected
that when the cseese has been raised
specially strong flooring will be con-
structed in order to support it.

SKIN DISEASES.

What spectacle is more disgusting
than that of man or woman with a
skin disease which shows itself In
pimples or hlotches on hands, arms,
face or neck? 1t Is simply impure
blood. See what Brandredth's Pills did
for chronic case:
George Chapman. Pincening, Mich,
says:
For four years ! was In the mount

during that time principally In Texas
Almost all of that time i had a chronic
skin disease, characterized by an erup-
tion over the entire surface of my legs
and thighs. arms and chest. The doe

The Progress
Of Vegetation.

The appearance of the vernal season
has been so backward, that 1t becomes
matter of universal interest to OBJ
serve and register the development OF
vegetation. AS a general rule 1t may
be stated that such retardations in
early development do not affect the
time of maturation of fruits or grain,
for the reason that the sun is steadily
approaching his summer solstice, and
when the reign of late storms and
winds subside the increased light and
heat are such, that very rapid progress
naturally ensues. Along the entire Pa
has had much the same effect, in re-
tarding vegetable growth. In Califor-
MIA flowers and fruit trees have been
from six weeks to two months behind
their usual inhoresence, and judging
from appearances and the testimony of
others, 1t has been much the same in
oregon. The following list, for which
The Astorian is indebted to the cour-
tesy Of DIR. w. p. Gibbons Of Glenwood,
comprises plants observed in bloom up
to date annexed.
April 18-The modest and beautiful
little Claytoria Siberica Is among the
first flowers to hail the appearance of
spring 1t is at home in every shelf
cred nook where a ray of sunshine can
have access.
April 22-Stellaria media, chickweed, |
and cerastium pilosum, mouse-eared |
chickweed, closely allied to each other, |
are among the garden weeds which
take early possession of the soil.
April 23.-Senecio vulgaris, a common
garden pest, the groundsel of Europe,
which possesses good provocative pow
ers, sending forth its seeds by every
breath of wind, to perpetuate its un-
desirable race,
April 24.-Oxalis Oregana, springs up
Is If by magic and hides the dingy soil,
lrst by foliage, making fair carpet
with snow white blossoms,
worthy to be pressed by the footsteps
f passing beauty.
April 24.-Rubus leucodermis, salm-
n-bery, now comes bedecked with I
preading and ostentatious flowers of
I'd, like some proud belle that claims
le admiration of passing youth, and
ccepts the smile Of flattery as a right 7
IL tribute. Yet like true virgin it is
ell armed with thorns, which repel /
lde or unfriendly approaches.
April 25.-Spergula arvensis, corn

lie locust of Egypt. 1t is 4
he Of those European emigrants that

;oil. It's small and inconspicuous

waited plants, and it has acquired the v
ame of "devilweed" among our rural
Ihabitants. ,

ut its snow white flowers to adorn

BASEBALLIST AT PRAYER.

His nose was knocked little awry,
But his eye was straight and true,
And the three fingers left on his big
right hand,
Clutched hard on the back of the
pew.
And he said, my friends, 1 am of. my
base
While standing here like this,
But 1 feel when the umpire says
play bali.
We all ought to play, hit or miss.
(!
When we sign with the church
We're expected to play every day,
hot or cold, rain or shine,
And l tell you my friends, a very hard
game
Is put up by satan's nine.
When we go to bat in the strength of
Lord
Grip the willow for giving hard
knocks,
We will just get on to the devils curves,
And knock him out of the box.
Sometimes when we line out for two
bags,
Steal third in most elegant shape,
Get stuck on ourselves. take too many
risks
And get nipped by Old Nick at the
plate.
And sometimes when our sides about
out,
We seem doomed to die on our base,
But whenever you hear our captain
cry go
Get away at your very best pace
Never mind what the crowd says, run
hard for Home,
Slide in on your face-darn your
clothes, ~
There's an umpire above who knows
when your in,
And his judgment is right-and it
goes.

CHICAGO. ILL., May 16, 1893.
 It is not our object to give a description of Chicago or of the worlds fair, as both are be- yond the power of the pen. As one of our party expressed it, You can't see the city for the houses," The exposition grounds and buildings are the acme of American genius Much has been said and written about visitors being Chcagoed," but we fail to see wherein they have been victims, unless they were so green as to be taken in by fakes of the slowest kind. Tho first consideration coming here is securing board and lodging. Having made a careful canvass of the city, have come to the conclusion that rooming and board wherever hunger over;akes you is decidedly the bcst plan. Your correspondent has secured the most comfortable room in the city ut No 4200 Lake avenue, within easy distance of two lines to the worlds far. The building is new, of the most improved modern style, with bath rooms, etc Those contemplating a visit 10 Chicago would do well to correspond with Mrs. Virginia Sneed, No 1900 Lake avenue. To the contrary of all reports, meals can be had from fifteen cents up. A lunch carried 10 the fair grounds will handicap tho little ex trs charged there. So general is this custom be- coming that some of the restaurants on the
 
 want to be gouged. try the restaurant ruA in the interest of the French government Bouil- lon, poisson, fromage d bric, etc, fetch the ducats every time. The admission to the grounds and buildings Is fifty cents, and all. though but few of the buildings are com pleted. and still fewer of the exhibits un. packed, yet you can get your moneys worth of sights that never will be seen again. The Arkansas building is still unfinished and is conspicuous for it's numerous signs which confront one whichever way he may turn bearing the device. '' Keep out of this build ing" From the fact that they are the only signs of the kind in the fair, they excite con siderable comment. It will be fully two months ere this fair will be in full blast. aud from reliable hearsay the numerous side. shows of Egyptian dancing girls. Chinese theater, the harcm and other foreign novel, ties will then be inaugurated, and the cost of indnlging will add materially to the expense account of the visitor who takes them in. The suggestion of tine cranks that the nude statu- ary be dressed in store clothes is a good one. for their little noses and toeses are turning blue from the chilling winds that make over. coats comfortable and the Venetian aondoliers hide their mardi gras suits with an ulster. If you arc not satisfied with the fair, tue night brings with it the opening of theaters, dance halls, snake shows, etc.. on every corner. One can spend as little or as much as he wants to. Come and try it on. L.
