For this we thank our friends and
patrons.
We are happy to announce that
our Spring and Summer trade has
been far ahead of any previous years
business in our history. We presume
that by keeping up the same line of
fire, by our crack shots and hard
hitters, solid value for your money
down, our trade shall still grow better.
On this basis we are laying our
plans for a tremendous Fall trade.
We have already bought some Bar
gains that pleasing prices will be
made on.
We are determined to make this
the banner season in prices to you
and business tor ourselves.
To this end we are working in the
day and thinking in the night. Six
days hard work and six nights hard
study will surely make telling weeks
work.
That's the kind of work we shall
put in from now till Santa Claus
comes with the good tidings of joy,
"Well done thou good and faithful
servant"
Do you catch our idea ?

The Mud EAn's Nest.

In San Diego, California, writes a
correspondent, l recently made &C.
quaintance with the mud hen Of the
grebe family. / had met her before,
but never had opportunity to study her,
and knowledge of her habits is exceed
ingly interesting. Here, under the
trees on a little lsguna's bank, I have
watched for hours as she has been swim
ming, diving, splashing, darting. dut-
tering and splatteriIg from her lifted
wings, and budding her young up on
the bank to eat grass in the sun.
The mud hens nest is a weedy, reedy,
fbrous structure, composed mostly of
dead grass, gray ends of tules and mis-
c%ellaneous matter, and il usually placed
far out from shore, without anchorage,
where it drifts to and fro, grading its
eggs easily. It presents to the eye SIM
ply the semblance of a mass of wasting
vegetation. One who knows birds we'll,
and who has made them "a study from
these same trees on the laguna's bank,
tells me that he has many times waded
out to search for a nest, and espied IL
only when sweeping away with his hand
what he supposed to be accumulated,
rubbish of leaves, but that proved tho
cradles counterpart with. which the
careful mother had shielded her trea-
sure.
Here eggs, or young, deposited on the
bottom, were usually half submerged,
the water oozing through every inter.
stice as through a sieve, and no sign OF
g parent bird near. Retreating TO .
distance, it was often necessary to watch
closely and through q glass, when pres
emily the mother grebe might be dis
covered sailing up swiftly, uncoverine
the floating cradle and s6yyly settling
down to breast its contents. Wien they
were evidently sufficiently warmed she
covered them again carefully with more
debris and sailed away as swiftly among
the water weeds.-New York Telsggama

The Labor of a Watch.

The little balance wheel of a watch
vibrates five times per second. Imagine
that this wheel instead of swinging
back and forth like a pendulum, should
roll on continuously ove a given sur
face. It's circumference in a gentle
mans watch of ordinary size is ala
inches, and it makes a sweep in each
direction of about three-fourths of its
circumference. In otheh words, it
would traverse in one second a distance
measuring about s1-2 inches. Accord
ing to this computation the balance
wheel of a watch would travel i'll a year
over a distance of 3577 miles in round
numbers, and it would take the little
wheel just six years and eight months
to circumvolve the globe by way of the
equator. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Life tables have been compiled from
the mortality returns of various periods
OF time showing that at birth the ex.
pectation of life covers more years in
the q s of the female than in that Of
the male. These tables also show that
at succeeding ages the female lead il
maintained. But o tabulation has Just
been made that viii interest Others
than scientists, sta~tissicians and life in.
surance agents, and which, though the
data are not very extensive, goes to
confirm the results reached In the SO
called standard life tables. A leadina
journal has compiled all the cases Of
notable longevity recorded in Its own
columns during the year 1892. Of II51
octogenarians 646 are women and only
900 are men. Above eighty ut nearl,
all ages the returns continue to favo,
the women; and of six centenariansaU
out n are women. This does not
prove that ONE are happier than
men, bat II is . good Indication that az
2 rule they live longer. And though
the most reasonable presumption il
thas this i because they sniov ID
easier life than men, the average
woman will donbtless continue to wish

who was in q crowd watching the er
rival of people to be presented at tho
Queens drawing room at Buckingham
Palace, London, was overcome by

he was drunk, but Miss Mary Burch,
of Ashford, Kent, saw that he was i'll
and helped him to a bench in the park.
She sent a boy for a cup of water,
which quickly revived the old man,
who asked for her card. Miss Burch
heard nothing more of the occurrence

Of additions that he can make to the
laws, when in fact that Is usually the
poorest form Of service to his constitu-
ents. The legislator who makes it his
business to prevent the passage OF bills
for which there is not an absolute neccs-
sity is public benefactor; but. unfor-
tunately, there are few who ever try to
gain reputation in that way. Over 500
bills were introduced in the Oregon
legislature during the first ten days Of
the present session. II is not reasonable
to suppose that one in dozen OF these
measures would be considered meritori-
GUS by any competent and disinterested
Judge of such matters. They pertain
mostly to things that should never be
touched by legislation. In some cases
the object is to promote certain local i'm
provements; in others there is desire
to obtain personal advantage in pending
legal proceedings; and in others the mot
i've is simply that OF angling for votes in
the next election.
