Is stated that the Dammaras use no term
beyond three, and that when they wish
to express four they take to their fin
gers. Beyond five they cannot count at
ALL 1t is seldom, howey er, that they
lose in bargain through their inability
to count When bartering, each sheep
or oxen, or whatever they may be sell
ing, must be paid for separately. If this
rate Of exchange were at the rate of two
sticks Of tobacco for one sheep, it would
greatly puzzle Dammara to accept four
sticks for two sheep. Galton says that
he several times paid them in that way,
and that the Dammara forthwith set
aside two sticks for one of the sheep, and
even when he found that he had two
sticks left for the other sheep he still
had his doubts as to the genuineness of
the transaction and was not satisfied
until two sticks were put into his hand
and one sheep driven away, and then
another two sticks given to him for the
other sheep.
London's Underground Water.
The chalk under London can no longer
be looked upon as source of great addi-
tional supplies of water. This is already
utilized by upward of 200 wells, and
while at the commencement of the CEN
tury the water when tapped rose in
many places to the surface it stands now
at level of about 40 feet below Trinity
high water mark. 1t is considered that
the rate of depression now varies from
one to two feet per annum. The effect
of the continuouspumping of water from
the chalk has thus been to lower the
plano of saturation, whereby the fow Of
distant springs and streams has been
more OF less seriously affected Practi-
cally, the amount Of water pumped from
the chalk under London is so much taken
from the streams that are fed by the
natural overflow from that formation

The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1893-04-18

In an item last week we failed to pub
lish a very important circumstance.
The item was in regard to Cal Hedge
peth's ,nenagerie, and what we neg
lected to mention was series of sad
accidents which recently befell it. The
menagerie formerly contained two eagles,
specimens of those birds that roost on
the top rung of liberty and scream for
American independence; but sad to say,
one of them got hungry and devoured
his fellow bird as if he had been hand
out from a ten-cent lunch counter.
Then he died of ennui. A porcupine
that was formerly one of the crowd
shuffied off his mortal quilts and passed
away into history with the last day of
March. Cal thinks he died of measles,
and we are glad of it. We have no sym
pathy for it nor for man who would
make "playful little pet" OF a measley
varmint that is always trying to drive
carpet tacks with his tail.-Frineviae

A PLucKY BOY.
A Four-Year-Old Keeps His Head Dur
ing an Exciting Runaway.

A country team ran away last night,
starting from Mr.. Farley's house, and
had quite n spin before they were
caught. In the wagon was Billy John
son, 4-year-old grandson of R. B. Hood.
The team ran down the street, where an
effort was made to stop it without sue
cess, but turning it in the direction OF
the brewery. Up the grade it ran here,
and gaining the top of the hill ran along
the street until it reached Nays
stone house when it struck a tree, throw
ing the little boy out. He had up to
this time clung manfully to the seat,
and had not got excited in the least.
Men rushed quickly to the spot, expect
ing that the life had been crushed out
of him, but imagine their surprise on
asking him how he was, to receive the
answer:
"Oh, I'm all right, guess; haven't
lost Feeling in his pocket) my ball, and
here's my other things"
Any other little boy of his age would
have been frightened nearly to death
and jumped out of the wagon with ex-
element.

..Deestriok skule" Tonight.

The "Deestrick Skule'' which will be
given tonight is one of the funniest little
comedies ever presented in The Dalles,
whether by home talent or professional
artists. It is more than comedy.
While you are laughing at the pranks
and comical sayings such as only child
rem can make there comes with ii
memories of your own school days, you
become identified at once with the mis-
chief-makers and there is resurrected in
your mind incidents of the long age
which you supposed to have been for
gotten. The easiest way to make your.
self young again, if only for an evening,
is to attend the Deestrick Skule. Nc

A circular letter has been received

Should Live in The DalIes.

A girl has been arrested in Chicago
and fined $50 for hugging and kissing
men on the streets. She pleaded in
court that she had a desire for that sort
of thing that she could not control, and
when she saw man whose appearance
pleased her she just threw her arms
about him and kissed him as many
times as she could before he could es-
cape. If this young lady is good look
ing, we venture the assertion she could
live in The Dalles indefinitely and there
would never be a complaint made
against her.

The Mules Knew the Route.

a remarkable instance of the Stub
bornness with which mules retain
ideas once impressed upon them was
seen one day last week. A dairyman
who for years had driven his own
team and served his 300 or more Gus
toners in Cincinnati personally. died
suddenly before he could give his son
a list of the customers. The latter,
however, started the wagon to town
at the usual hour the next day, with
instructions to deliver milk wherever
the team stopped. The animals
trotted along briskly till they reached
Abigail street, where they pulled up
in front of a grocery. A maid with
a pitcher soon ran out, and taking
the name and order the driver con-
tinued. He simply started the mules,
letting Them pick the route, and
when they finally headed for home he
found he had list of over 100 Gus
toners. The mules had not only
stopped at all the regular places. but,
as was afterward learned. had re-
gained several former customers who
had changed milkmen recently, but
who, pleased with the queer method
of learning the route, again returned
to the old milk. Cincinnati Times

Necessary Formalities.

Husbands and wives who observe
the requirements of etiquette observe
q certain formality in speaking of
each other. A refined woman does
not use her husbands Christian
name, much less any abbreviation of
it. outside the narrow confines Of
their common kindred. He is "John"
or Jack" only among his brothers
and sisters or to very intimate
friends. When his wife has occasion
to speak Of him to others she says
my husband" or "Mr. Jones'" A
wife upholds her husbands dignity
by scrupulouslY speaking Of him with
respect, as well as addressing him
with courtesy, his position in the
social world being helped or hindered
by her practice in this regard.
Equally a man invariably speaks of
''my wife," or Mrs. Brown" when
quoting his better-half, as good hus-
bands frequently do. She is not
Mary or Jennie or Margaret to any,
body except her own people, and it is
bad form to make the outside world
familiar with her sacred home name.
To children father will speak OF his
wife as your mother" and in affec-
tionate families it is quite common
and by no means improper for par
ents to address one another in the
hearing Of the little ones as
mamma" and papa" Everyday
etiquette is trampled under foot in
grim and undemonstrative house
holds, where the pleasant custom of
daily greetings is unfortunately much
in allegiance. Where a grunt does
duty for a genial good morning, or
an inaudible murmur is all that is
heard when there should be tender
good night, politeness is plant of
slow growth.
