The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1893-11-24

Messrs. E. L. Hammack and e.
Keebler are in Portland this week,
having been subpoenaed as U. S.
jurors.
Atty. ]. M. Somers left Monday for
Grants Pass, He has been employed
to assist in prosecuting Thos, Black for
the murder of J, d, Rice, and goes
down to work on the case.
Atty. Somers and w. G. Peterson
will occupy an office together, S. P.
Bach will build a new office for them,
between DR.. Lamberson's office and
Mrs Rice's building.
The reading circle met at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. f. M. Miller,
last Friday evening, in honor of the
eighteenth anniversary Of their mar
riage. A very pleasant evening vas
enjoyed.
1t is said that an interesting time is
looked for SATURDAY. night, at the Pop
ulist meeting, at which there will be a
debate. G. B. Montague, f. M. Miller
and S M. Garland are said to be the
principal speakers.
Mr.. w. M. Terry, who has been in
the drug business at Elkton, KY, for
the past twelve years, says; Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy gives better
satisfaction than any other cough med
icine ! have ever sold" There is good
reason for this. No other will cure a
cold so quickly; no other affords SO
much relief in cases of whooping
cough. For sale by M. A. Miller,
druggist.
The BEST PLAsTER.--Dampen a
piece of flannel with Chamherlain's
Pain Balm and bind il on over the seat
of pain 1t is hetter than any plaster.
When the lungs are sore such an APP
plication on the chest and another on
the back, between the shoulder blades,
will often prevent pneumonia, There
is nothing so good for lame back or
a pain In the side. A sore throat can
nearly always be cured in one night
BY applying flannel bandage damp
ened with Pain Balm. SO cent bottles
for sale by M. A. Miller, druggist.

GREETINGS on the Street.

Etiquette desires the following in
formation: o. In meeting acquaint-
ances on the street should q lady nod
or make a slight bow: co. If when
in company lady asks for glass Of
water, she receives it should she offer
it to any one else? 3d. How should
one take cheese from the plate and
convey it to the mouth: Answer /:
o. In meeting persons with whom
one is but slightly acquainted it is well
to merely incline the head slightly; one
need not moye the body. If elderly
people of consequence, one may make
a slight bow. With those who are on
friendly footing it is pleasant to smile
and say ''good morning. or "even-
ing" as the case may be. OF all things
avoid extremes. Be easy and natural,
and let your street recognitions be free
from either tlippancy or stiffness. (2)
Your hostess or the servant who brings
you the glass of water will ask those
who are near you if they would like a
glass of water. g. 1t is allowable
to take cheese from the plate with your
fingers, break it in pieces, and convey
tito your mouth in the same way. There
are scoops for serving cheese, but all
persons do not use them.-New York
World.

WHY IMMIGRANTS SHUN
THE SOUTH.
Manufacturers Record. |

The editor OF the American artisan picked
up a phrase-book for newly arrived
Swedish immigrants some days ago and
ran across the following Scandinavian
American dialogue:
Q. "After land in New York shall |
there stay?"
A. "No. You should take a train
and 90 West to Minnesota or Dakota,
where you can get big farm with little
money!
Q. "Why shall not go to Texas
A. Texas is not a good place for the
Swedes for to 90. The people are not
good like in Minnesota, but bad and
fierce The people live in second stories
and pull up their ladders at night, or
else the cowboys would rob them. No
Swede must 90 to Texas.
This is no Joke, but a verbatim quo
tation, bad grammer and all, from
gudc-bOok, with Swedish and English III
parallel columns, and distributed broad
cast over Sweden by the agents OF a
steamship company Concerning its
utter falsehOOd there can be no doubt at
all. We give it merely as straw to
show that the trend OF immigration is
toward the Northwest.
We invite the attention of the South
ern governors and all others who are
interested in the Southern immigration
movement to the above extract from a
a printed editorial in the american
artisan of May 20. This will give
hint as 10 the obstacles that must be
confronted in stimulating Southern
immigration, and it will serve to show
how unfairly, how unjustly, yes, how
dishonesty, the South is being treated
by those who handle Western and
Northwestern immigration. BY syste-
matte Misrepresentation a widespread
impression has been created to the
effect that the South is no place for an
honest, inoffensive and industrious
immigrant. 1t is to counteract this
SANDER and to spread the truth about
the South that calls for vigorous work
of most practical character on the
part OF all who are interested in peo
ping the vast unoccupied areas of the
South with desirable foreigners,
This text, furnished by the artisan,
gives another illustration of what we
have endeavored to impress upon the
minds of the people of the South,
namely, that effective work in the
immigration movement can be put
forth only across the ocean, among
the people who are the most desirable
immigrants. Impressions created in
the minds of immigrants before they
leave their homes are of the utmost
importance, and a falsehood lodged
there cannot easily be removed by any
amount of argument when the immi-
grant has reached our shores.
Upon such lines the mi ghty move
ment into the Northwest was started
and still is maintained, and if the
South desires to reap the benefits of
such an influx of settlers it must be
accomplished by methods that have
already demonstrated their success,
namely, missionary work abroad.

Frances Great Canal System.

Interior navigation has long held a
prominent place in the traffic Of France,
and it is not surprising to learn that the
length of navigable waterways in that
country is 5000 miles, of which $50 miles
are returned as tidal, 2, 100 miles naviga-
bic without works, $3.50 miles canalized
rivers and 5000 miles canals The state
looks out for all but 7 per cent of this
network, which is therefore practically
free from tolls. This system of inland
navigation has cost about $500, 900 900
for construction and purchase and $685.
100000 for concessions. The annual cost
of maintenance is about $2,6OO,O 900, or
1925 a mile, which covers all expendi-
lures whatsoever. The number of YES
sells employed on the waterways is be-
tween 5000 and 10000. About &c per
cent have a capacity of 300 tons or more,
while more than half have a capacity ex-
ceeding 100 tons
Moreover, about 1000 foreign boats
use the French canals each year. The
motive power is now almost entirely
furnished by Graft animals, although a
few steam tugs are used on the Seine,
the Disc and some other rivers, and
steam cargo boats are occasionally met.
Cable towing and tow locomotives are
also used i'll few places. The average
cost OF moving a ton of freight one mile
Is stated to be .vji cents on the rivers
and % per cent less on the canals.-Paris

Position of the Feet In Walking.

There is but one opinion among physi
ologists as to the proper position Of the
feet, and that is thoroughly opposed to
the opinions of the dancing master or the
drill sergeant. A study of ancient sculp-
turo will show that no such conventional
method of standing or walking was
known among the Greeks. Here the feet
are turned straight ahead, with no in
cination to the right or left. This is the
position which our sculptors prescribe
for their models as the most natural and
graceful one in standing and walking.
DR.. Thomas Ellis, one of the highest
authorities, in monograph on this sub
ject names the fair, square" position in
walking as the most easy and natural one,
giving the greatest support to the body
with the least e0ertion. In this position
the feet are placed straight ahead" and
the lines of the footsteps are slightly apart
and are parallel. This is the light, alert
walk of the Arab and is different from
the stealthy step of the RED Indian"
While the Indian holds his feet straight
out, he steps SO that a single line could
be drawn through his footprints.
DR.. Ellis goes SO far as to attribute the
deformity Of fiat footedness to the habit
ual turning out of the toes. He calls
attention to the arched foot and fine car
rage of the Arab as the result Of his
manner of planting his feet on the
ground.-ChicagO Tribune,
