Don't Drink wine with Haaanas.

The statement made in connection
with tho death Of Colonel Gilmore that
wine and banana Juice combined made
o deadly poison has caused much COM
ment and much more comparing Of
notes. That to eat bananas and drink
wine immediately afterward is to court
certain death, as was stated by a gentle
man of some experience, is not correct,
or would have died a score of deaths
from poison before this, and the inhabit-
ants of the West Indian islands would
have been decimated time and again,
for the combination is common among
those who can secure wine.
1t is possible that some particular
wines are dangerous in combination
with bananas, but the rule does not ap-
ply either to champagne or sherry. The
suggestion, however, that bananas are
Injurious in connection with anything
is rather novel one to me, because
there are few fruits which will preserve
life and health like the banana. When
properly ripened the fruit is at once de-
Iicioas and nutritious.-St. Louis Globe

Fe,v Men Die of oyerwork.

DR.. Pye Smith holds that there is no
fear of the ordinary man using, his
brains too much for health, and he does
not believe that mental labor or honest
work of any kind interfores with health
or shortens life day. He maintains
that excessive eating is the abuse that
tends to the injury of brain workers
more than any other cause.
Many active brain workers have sud
denly broken down and fancied that 1t
was due to brain fatigue, when, as a
matter of fact, it was due to over stuff
ing their stonachs. The furnace cen
nection with mental machinery became
clogged up with asfes and carbon in
various shapes and forms, and as re-
suit disease came, ard before the case
was fully appreciated demoralized con
dition of the nervous system was man
ifested and the prosaic cause for the
collapse was suppressed under the eu-
phernistic mental overwork. Pitts

THE SAME OLD CHARGE.

Uncle Sans minions seem to have been
driving lively business in this section dur
ing the past few weeks. Deputy Marshal
Sinuott was in this city again Wednesday
evening on business connected with two
men under charge of selling liquor to In
dians. Hoxie Simmons, a halt breed of the
Siletz reservation, who had been taken be-
fore tho U. 3. court and committed to the
county Jail of Benton for six months, was
accordingly brought back and imprisoned
here by the officer. Fred Dennis is the
name of another man who got into the tolls
Wednesday afternoon. He had an examina.
tion before Justice Davis and was taken
Thursday by Marshal Sinnott to Portland
for further prosecution in the U. s. court.
P. McDougal. of Toledo, and one Hunsaker,
who runs whisky scow on Yaquina bay,
are each doing penal servitude for this same
old offense of selling liquor to Indians. Two
men of Albany recently shared like fate,
and the end is probably not yet. No doubt
the Indians have caught onto the great.
American penchant for specializing in this
business and that many cases, outside of
that motive, are based upon grounds too
trivial to be worthy of notice, if the duty
could be sifted down to real justice.

Swallowing Abilities Of Snakes.

The jaws of the chicken snake are
hung on hinges that can be taken apart
or displaced for the time being, as tho
case may be, and an entire Texas cot
tcntaI rabbit can be persuaded to enter;
head and all, with little effort, and the
body being made of india rub5erlike
material and very stretchable the kick
ing little animal soon finds lodgaent
in the stomach. His snakeship then
carefully resets his jaws so that his
mouth assumes it's normal size and
blissfully reposes for the succeeding six
hours. The powerful gastric juice does
the balance, and no Texan can testify
that Ire ever heard Of a chicken snake
suffering from indigestion or chronic
dyspepsia. The capture and digestion
of chickens, song birds, turkey eggs and
rats constitute simple pastime to the
chicken snake and does not call for a
six hour layoff in feeding ti1ne.-Port

UNCLE TOMS CABIN.
AN IMMORTAL PLAY, NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT.
JANUARY l7Tu.

One cannot hslp but wonder why it is
that ''Uncle TOMS Cabin" always proves a
drawing card, and yet there Is rothing very
wonderful about ii when once the plot aud
presentation of this realistic drama is taken
into consideration. We have read "Uncle
Toms Cabin" as many rs twenty times and
always with absorbing interest, and so, too,
we have seen it presented on the stage forty
times, and it seems as if we enjoy the last
better than any previous rendition. There
are some plays like "Uncle Tom" and Grip
Van Winkle" that will never wear out.
There is that about the plot ofs' 'Uncle Toms
Cabin"-a combination of drama, comedy,
wit, humor and pathos, all blended 30 nat
urally and realistic--that the audience lives
through it all, become part of the players
ON the stage and have their sympathies
aroused 10 q degree that makes them feel
as if they were witnessing real drama of
everyday life.-Ingersoll.

a Pathetic peasn ON Pixies Peak.

Il
Several years ago, when the summit
house ON Pixies peak was used as sig
nal station, the occupants of the hut
were a telegraph operator and a COM
panion. Winter had set in with more
than usual severity. Unexpectedly the
telegraph operator was taken sick and
failed SO rapidly that the first day of his
illness plunged him into dclirium. The
companion of the operator was not fa-
uiliar with telegraphy. Their provisions
were growing short.
The second night brought no relief.
The sight of his raEing, half starved
cornrade grew intoierable to the weary
surse, who ono night went out on the
mountain tops> Scarcely had the door
closed behind him than reason returned
TO the dying operator. With tho little
strength that he had retained he dragged
himself to his instrument and flashed
over the wire, down tho mountain eide,
that his companion had been lost on the
mountain and that he could live but
little while, but that they might yet be
rescued if assistance started at once.
Crawling back to his pallet tho sender
tof tho message died. The wanderer at
length found his way back to tho hut to
have added to his cheerless surroundings
the presence Of death. At the sight of
his lifeless comrade the last ray OF hope
faded, and he sank unconscious beside
the dead operator.
With the first intimation that there
was distress on the mountain top party
Of willing men, mostly miners wintering
at Colorado Springs, started for the sum-
NIT. They reached the top after days
weary travel, and just in time to resus-
citate the still unconscious man, who In
the end recovered Chicago Tribune

A LETTER FROM DOVER.

DOVER, N. H., Dec, END, lS92.
As informed you in my last epistle, II
am here" and after looking about me to a
limited extent, and having taken the deposit
tion of various learned, intellectual parties
and having given the matter due considera-
ton, have finally arrived at the conclusion
that the New England states have been
grossly Eraisrepresented. I have been told
many times within the last few years, by
people whom thought were well informed,
that this section of the country was being
Idepopulated; that great inducements were
beingI offered for Immigration. Now, while
it Il Sue that some of the yoang people, act
ing upon the advice of Mr.. Greedy. have
followed the ''star of empire" to the west,
still there are seough left to scratch around

lreal or personal forsmet cast my lot here,
and become one with them, as it were, and
this itself is saying nuch-yea, very much
for old New England, and to my mnid is
tproof conclusive that immigration is not
the great want of the country.
