THAT'S THE PLACE!

Were ! to seek place to dwell,
More like heaven and less like HE'LL
Where roses bloom the year around,
And where the finest girls are found,
A place that knows no cold or heat
And where the climate can't be beat,
Where epidemics are unknown
And courtesy is strangers shown,
Where the harbor is wide and deep,
And Herman Wise sells clothing cheap,
Where fair play rules tween man and man,
And everyone does all he cans
There's no other place meath the sun
Such as Astoria Oregon"

Danger in Feather Spring Riil 8.

Army authorities are in great fear tnat
the new magazine rifles now in use IN the
British army will be the cause of the
death of many soldiers, because it goes
off so lightly that a man, after being
shot, may in the death spasm pull the
trigger and shoot some of his comrades,
or that even the moving OF the body may
discharge the weapon. 1t Is therefore
ordered that two men shall be detained
from each company to follow the line in ac-
tion, and when man falls to Immediately
remove the magazine from his rifle and
carry it away. The opponents to the use
of the new rifle say that this looks to
them to be very clumsy arrangement
and one likely to counter balance the ra-
pidity of firing gained by the use of
these feather spring weapons. - New

Anti0uity of the Saw.

The saw is an instrument OF high an
tiouIly, its invention being attributed to
either Delalus OF to his nephew Perdix,
also called Talos, who, having found the
law of IA serpent and divided piece OF
wood with it, was led to initiate the
teeth in iron. In bass-relief pub
lished by Winckelman, D@ @1alus is rep
resented holding saw approaching very
closely in form to the Egyptian saw. st.
Jerome seems clearly to allude to the
circular saw, which was probably used,
as at present, in cutting veneers. There
are also limitations of the use of the CEN
tire bit, and even ip the time of Cicero it
was employed by thieves. Pliny men
tions the use of the saw in Ancient Bel
eium for cutting white building stone;
some of the oolitc and cretaceous rocks
are still treated in the same manner, both
in that part of the Continent and IN the
south of England. In this case Pliny
must be understood to speak OF proper
or toothed saw. The saw without teeth
was then used just as it is now by the
workers in marble, and the place OF
teeth was supple according to the
hardness OF the stone, either by emery
or by various kinds of sand OF inierior

Has a Finger-Reducins Patent.

The Patent Office has granted pat
eut on device worthy of the ancient
Greeks. 1t is system OF fnger-taper-
ing aud joint-reducing bands. The idea
is to make thimble- shaped bands of thin
aud plant aluninum in sets OF various
sizes to lit the fingers and thumbs, and
by wearing them at night gradually pro-
duce the slender and tapering digits so
much admired by the fashionable half OF
the world. The aluminium bands are
provided with rings which are crowded
down on the outside so as to compress
the fingers aud drive the blood back to
any desired state of diminutiveness. The
letters patent do not state whether the
use of this new device is attended with
pain or not. 1t is said these bands have
been thoroughly tested by several of the
best known women Of fashion in Wash
ington and New YORK, aud they speak of
them in the highest terms OF praise. The

articles ia Chicago is forming stoc k

THE CHILDHOOD OF THE HEART,

Oh, the rosy days of childhood,
How blissfully they sped,
When not charm had vanished,
And not wonder fed
The year was full of promise then,
The tongue was full of praise
Eut think the cup is sweater now
Than in the childish days.
Oh, the laughing world of childhood,
Or ignorance and ease!
The lightest touch could quicken,
And the least pleasure please;
Yet the upward paths are dearer,
With all the thorns they bear,
Than a garden of a hundred flowers
When Ignorance is therel
Oh. the beating heart Of childhood
That little heart of show,
That doubt has never entered,
Nor sorrow has brought low!
Trust me, not all the rapture
Its eager life can span
Can shadow forth the perfect love
That warns the breast of man.

Collections being made in Idaho afford
unusual opportunity for studying LIE

exhibit for Custer County contains a
beautiful specimen of onyx. Indications
are that an agate field exists in the
county. Sapphires have also been found

from Lewiston, the exact character OF
which has not beea determined, but

ten minutes grinding on an emery wheel
has scarcely any effect on it. 1t is varie-

tints. 1t is quite small, and efforts are
being made to secure larger one. The
value of the rock is not known.
