Business EnterDrise,

Talk abo.:t business enterprise" said
Frank L. Perley, a circus man. away
back in 1885 we had a young fellow with
us who was getting $l5 and his board.
The night Jumbo was killed in st.
Thomas this boy developed himself. We
were all sympathizing with poor old
Jumbo and wondering how we could re-
place him. The youngster was thinking
of something else. You know the tail
of an elephant has at the very tip "a
bunch of thick hair very much like a
brush. This boy got under the fence and
had pulled every hair out Of Jumbo's
tail. His business at the circus was to
sell balloons to children. Well, there
were IS of those thick hairs. and at the
show the next afternoon he was selling
them for 81 apiece as relics of the great
giant. He sold IS of them and practi-
cally found $75. The other one he kept
for himself and still wears it as his mas
cot."-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Most Despicable Man,

The man whom ! thoroughly and pos
itively hate. and against whom as a type
/ would warn young women. as the
board of health officers warn the public
against infection with a scarlet fever
card. is the domestic tyrant, the man
who is a bully in his own family. the
man who is a hero at home and a coward
among bigger men than he. When he
was a boy, he loved to torture kittens,
trap rabbits and tease birds by breaking
up their nests and cracking their eggs.
But ayearling calf or a sitting hen would
always make him run. Now he is a man,
he swears at his wife and nags her life
away. He sends the cold chills down
the children's spines whenever his steps
draw nigh and is as pompous and big
feeling among the women folks and the
helpless boys and girls as a fussy old
turkey gobbler with his hens.
Fun can no more thrive where he ia
than pansies can live in coal gas. He is
civil to the black man who gives him his
dinner, to the boy-rrovided he is full
sized-who blacks his boots and to who
ever is richer and stronger than he, but
p~oliteness for his wife was laid away
with his wedding garments, and he curses
his daughters and his sons for every
trifing misdemeanor in a way that would
rouse q newsboy to thrash him if he
spoke to the lad with equal insolence.-

NJ. Berthe,ct. the well known French
Academic DIES Sciences. states his belief
in the some time existence of an age of
copper in addition to the three recog
nized archaeological cons of stone, bronze
copper and TIM and iron. He bases his
opinion chiefly upon an analysis of a
piece of copper which had been found by
NJ. de Sarzec III the course Of antigua.
rian Investigations in Mesopotamia, OF
Al Jezira, as the Arabs designate the
lannon's stretch Of country between the
Euphrates and the Tiyris. The fragment
thus chemically determined proves to
have neither tin nor zinc entering into
its composition. there being simply traces
of lead and arsenic.
Water and the atmosphere had made
ravages into the specimen. which was
practically IA suboxile or a compound of
protoxide and metallic copper. As the
ruins from which the piece of metal was
taken are a1t~horitativeiy considered to
be more ancient than w those of Baby
lon, NJ. Berthelot does not hesitate to
promulgate the theory that an age of
copper preceded the bronze and iron
periods, especially as the examination OF
the component parts of a portion of a
metallic scepter which, it is alleged, he
longed to a pharaoh who reigned in
Egypt some $500 years 3. c., showed 70

The Captains Sight.

1t is sometimes a fault of young peo-
pie to rely too fully upon their own opin-
o n or impressions. and there are grown
people who are quite too sure regarding
matters to which they have given little
attention. 4 passenger o a French
steamer tells this story:
The wind was fresh. and we were run
! ming at the rate of u knots an hour.
Our mariners We're deceived in their cab
c~ulations. and as the lead did not indi-
cate the proximity oI the coast they were
expected T. approach they concluded
that the currents had carried us into tho
channel. One morning at break of day
| heard the captain exelalm:
81 see breakers through the mist"
NJ. de IA mile. an officer Of superior
merit. who nevertheless displayed some
times too iat!ch of TIE confidence of
youth, replied with IA smile, Those
breakers, captain. are nowhere but in
your glass"
Young man." said our old captain,
with a tone OF anger. You are major
general TO the squadron and may give ii
the orders you think proper. but l know
what | have to do. 1t is | who answer
for the safety of my ship. shall there
fore give orders to tack. for there is not
a moment to be lost"
He accordingly gave that order. and
during its execution. the fog having sud
denly cleared away. we perceived a:
about 200 yards from as the rocks against
which our feet would inevitably have
persisted. Fortunately the whole squad
ron initiated the movement of our YES

The Young officer lost no time in thank
ing the captain for his wise reproof. and
for his adheonce to the duties of his po-
sition.-Youih's Companion.

No misgivings need apply to the case
of the new railway at Liverpool. In size
and power. as we'll as in the ingenuity of
its details, it surpasses the best American
models. 1t extends along the quays OF
the great line of docks on the Mersey for
nearly seven miles. Its carriages are OF
full size. not arranged like a tram car,
but like the ordinary passenger car of
the United States, each being in two
compartments and capable of seating 5;
persons. Beneath each car is an electric
motor of from 100 to 20 horsepower. and
the speed will he as high as 80 miles an
hour.
The power to work the trains, and
with them the accessories of signals and
light, is the same, and generated from a
single point on the system. The whole
runs upon an overhead railroad" or con-
tinuous bridge of iron. That is not. how
ever, of the essence Of an electric railway,
though the lightness Of electric rolling
gear makes such an arrangement cheap
and suitable for the rurpose.-London

Ruth Said Her Verse.

Position of Wood and It, Durability.

The problem has troubled many why
two pieces of wood. sawed from the same
section of a tree. should possess very
varied characteristics when used in diff
ferent positions. For example. a gate
post will be found to decay much faster
If the butt erd of the tree is uppermost
than would he the case it the top were
placed in this position. The reason is
that the moisture of the atmosphere will
permeate the pores of the wood much
more rapidly the way the tree grew than
it would if in the opposite direction.
Microscopical examination proves that
the pores invite the ascent of moisture,
while they repel IFS descent. Take the
familiar case of a wooden bucket. Many
may have noticed that some Of the slaves
appear to be entirely saturated. while
others are apparently quite dry. This
arises from the same cause.-the dry
slaves are in the position in which the
tree grew, while the saturated ones are
reversed.-London Tit-Bits.

Carving the COlOrS In Battle.

At Gaines Mill. where Gregg's First
South Carolina regiment bore the brunt
of an assault upon a certain strong posi-
ton while moving forward at q run,
young James Taylor, q lad of IS, was
carrying the flag and was killed after
being shot down three times, twice ris-
ing and struggling onward with the col
ORE. The third time he fell the flag was
seized by George Cotchett, and when he
in turn fell by Shubrick Hayne. Hayne
also was struck down almost immedi-
ately, and a fourth lad-for none of these
men was over 90 years old-grasped the
colors and fell MORALLY wounded across
the body of his friend.
The fifth, Gadsden Holmes, was pierced
with no less than seven balls. The sixth
man, Dominick Spellman, more fortu-
nate, but not less brave. bore the flag
throughout the rest Of the battle.-Cos-

An English Boys knowledge of Literature

An English Boys knowledge of Literature.
Every one who is not a schoolmaster is
aware that a young Englishman knows
almost nothing Of the literature Of his
own land. and what little he does know
he dislikes, because he has had at school
to translate it into Latin. It is most hu-
initiating to hear an American youth
discourse upon this matter while our
own sons sit mum and glum. Efforts
have been made of late to find out what
our boys do read for their own pleasure.
and the result Of these inquiries seems to
be that they read the accounts of prize
fights.
One headmaster tries to prove that
this is derived from the influence Of
Homer. but it is much more likely that
it comes from a perusal of the sporting
newspapers and the general devotion to
athletics. From whatever AUS it arises.
it is certainly true that while there is no
deficiency Of good poetry and good fc-
ton among us the rising generation
cares for neither. London Illustrated

A man just from New Orleans says
there is one popularity about that city

said, "a city of rats. New Orleans is be-
low the river bed. and it is at all times
low and damp. The city is not clean,
and large wharf rats multiply in the
business portion of the city in great num-
bers, and the pests swarm about in
droves. The people of New Orleans on
tend that the rats are good scavengers
and help to aid the city Of refuse matter.

not even New York or Paris, that has as
many rats to the square mile as New Or

DR.. CoIlyer,s E.planas1on.

Robert Collyer, who goes around the
country preaching DIR. Talmage's SER
mons, which he creditably performs, has
made an explanation of his peculiar ac-
tion. We quote a paragraph from his
explanation, as follows:
''For the past fourteen years I have
been engaged in ministerial and evang-
elistic work, preaching and lecturing, EN-
ploying such methods as my Judgment
dictated, and have always been supplied
with the literature have described my
work has been successful; in a large de-
gree and thousands have been converted
under my preaching. During the past
year have assisted in organizing and
building two churches, and during my
ministry 1 have organized and built
about seventy-five and the number of
conversions runs well up into the thous-
ands. We are warned not to preach any
other gospel and the announcement has
gone forth, 'by their fruits ye shall
know Them In conclusion, Christ is
my guide and God is my judge. Who
accuses me of preaching anti-Christ? :?
Lastly, ask the public to take note
that it was the clergy who precipitated
these reports of plagiarism, not the
public, and, besides, my sermons were
more than one-half original as all must
admit. ROBERT CoLLYER."

right at the seat of difficulty, is accom-
p1ished by the sure and steady aim of
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Don't
fool around with a pop-gun, nor .
!" Flint-lock," when this reliable "Win-
chester . is within reach!
DR.. Sage's treatment of Catarrh in the
Head is far superior to the ordinary, and
when directions are reasonably well
followed, results in permanent cure.
Don't longer be Indifferent to the veri-
fed claims of this unfailing Remedy.
The worst forms of Catarrh disap-
pear with the use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. Its mild, soothing, cleansing
and healing properties effect a perfect
and permanent cure, no matter how bad
the case, or of how long standing. It's
a remedy that succeeds where every
thing else has failed. Thousands of
such cases can be pointed out. That's
the reason its makers back their faith in
it with money. They offer $500 reward
for case of Catarrh which they can
not cure.
It's medicine that allows them to
take such q risk.
Doesn't common sense lead you to
take such a medicine?
"An advertising fake " you say.
Funny, isn't it, how some people pre-
fer sickness to health when the remedy
is positive and the guarantee absolute.
Wise men don't put money back of
fakes" And taking" doesn't pay.

THE TICKET.

VoG pOpuli, UoE Del. Democrats, re-
publicans, mugwumps, populists, men OF
all trades and professions-a vast num-
Der of them, comprising great share Of
the actual voting population of The
Dalles, were in attendance at the court
house last night to determine who a
majority of them favored for their city
officials for the ensuing year. No studied
speeches were made, and there was an
absence of anything approaching trick
cry, coercion or undue persuasion.
DR.. w. E. Rinehart was chosen by
reclamation to run for mayor. Mr..
Rinehart will serve our city wisely and
we'll. He announced last night that if
elected he would make the health of
citizens the first great desideratum.
This work has been undertaken by the
present council, with the full approval of
a majority of citizens. The maddening
cry of reform has not as yet attacked the
health proposition. The election of
DIR. Rinehart will give stimulus to this
one great question that alone will make
his choice wise one. With the death
rate lessened and sickness reduced to
minimum, blessing is conferred that is
inestimable, and taxes will be easier to
pay when the money does not have to go
for doctor bills.
The selection of Douglas Dufur for
recorder could not have been improved,
and there were good men contending
against him in the convention. Mr..
Dufur is a young man of more than
ordinary intelligence, of exemplary
habits, and ambitious. He possesses
great native ability, to which is added
special training for his duties which
should be required of every incumbent.
Like his predecessor, Mr.. Menefee, he
will save the city many dollars for
lawyers fees. Possessing all these
merits, it will not be surprising if Mr..
Dufur leads his ticket.
Mr. 1. I. Burget for treasurer will poll
large vote, as it is conceded that he is
fully competent to attend to the duties
that are required, and is personally
agreeable.
Dan Maloney has filled the Office of
marshal fairly well, having proved him
self to be an industrious officer, though
lacking in judgement on one or two no
table occasions, but his methods IN pol
itics the last few days is at least ques-
tionable. Having secured the nomina.
tion on the regular democratic ticket it
is not strictly the part of wisdom to ac-
cept like honors at the hands of the cit
izens convention. He should repudiate
the latter, since it is now too late to re-
pudiate the the former. Geo. Herbert
who is his partner in misfortune, did
the honorable thing in refusing to be a
nominee last night, was wise as well.

The fast trains from New York to
Chicago have been pulled off because
they wouldn't pay expenses. A general
complaint also comes from the steamer
lines that travel to Chicago is so light
that they are losing money when they
expected to do a booming business.
The people of the United States are not
patronizing Chicago like they did Phila-
delphia in 1876. They like to be hum
bugged, but they don't like to be robbed
and then laughed at for their indiscre-
ton in going to Chicago. There must
be a great change made in the methods
of that city, and that soon, if they ever
hope to recover their money. Chicago
has overreached herself this time, and
has given US a reputation among neigh
boring nations of being people given
to extortion.
