A Man With Grit.

The Law of Moses gave to man and
beast weekly rest. The wholesome
laws of the country accord TO the
weary toiler the same privilege. Con-
porations without souls or consciences
take these privileges from their en-
ployees, and terroize good people by
discharging those who object to their
methods. Hence they force their men
to work seven days in the week, and
thus demoralize and degrade them.
Cowardly men, without faith in God
or care for religion, dare not resist these
impositions, and having no conscience
in the matter suffer themselves to be
bulldoZed and crushed.
If the railway men of the country
would strike for weekly day of rest,
they would get it; and the sympathy
of the people would 60 with them in
the struggle; and even little vigorous
and courageous resistance by few men
with conscience and backbone would
change the face of affairs immensely.
Such things have been done. The
Presbyterian says:
zone man stopped Sunday work in
the Reading shop at Williamsport, Pa.
HeIdeclined to work on the Lords day,
and was discharged, as man who had
too many scruples for railroad work
er. He quietly informed the men who
were in the shops that if they went to
work he would prosecute them for vio-
lations of the Sunday law of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania. Seven
ty-five of the men declined to work the
next Lords day. The name of the
sturdy upholder of the civil law was
Andrew Anderson"
State law creates these corporations
and State law should not tolerate
corporation of its creation in compell-
ing its employees to violate the laws
of the Commonwealth. 1t only needs
men of grit and grace to put on the
brakes, and rescue workers from the
grinding wheels of these corporate Jug
gernauts. But as long as the men
themselves do not care for God, but
will hire out to work seven days in q
week for the sake of extra wages, In
stead of staying Oh the soil where God
put them, and earning their bread in
the sweat of their faces so long they
have no moral power to resist corporate
encroachments, and must make brick
for Pharoah or grind corn like blind
Samson in the Philistine prison-house.

Moth Exterminator.---For moths
salt il the best exterminator. The
nuns in one of the hospital converts
tried everything else without success
and their experience is valuable, as
they have so much clothing OF the
sick who go there, and strangers,
when dying there, often leave quantl'
ties of clothes, etc.
They had room full OF feathers
which were sent there for pillow max.
ing, and they were in despair as they
could not exterminate the moths, until
thew were advised to try common salt.
They sprinkled it around, and in g
week or 10 days were altogether rid
of the moths. They are never trouo
led now.

For Skin Diseases. skin dis
eases that cause periodical flushing OF
purple, beetred, scarlet and yellow,
powdering is necessary. While not a
cure, it is great comfort. to be able to
subdue a blazing countenance. French
chalk, rice and msgnesia are among
the standard toilet powders. Properly
used they are as harmless as a veil.
The average gentleman who shaves
uses powder, and he is not subject to
soreness of the face. Some women
who powder have horrible complex
ions. The trouble is not with the
powder, but the powderer: She
doesn't keep herself clean. Powder
should be put on the skin when it is
dry. 1t must be removed for perfect
circulation before retiring.

A good furniture polish may be
made by putting equal parts of spirits
of wine, vinegar and olive oil in q
large bottle, and shaking thoroughly
every day for a week, when 1T will be
ready for use. This polish should be
applied to the furniture with a soft

in. If the furniture is very dirty, 1t
NAV be rubbed clean with a Woolen
cloth dipped in kerosene.

Some European who ladies passed
through Constantinople paid a visit
to a certain high Turkish function
ary. The host offered them refresh
ments, including great variety of
sweetmeats, always taking care to
give one of the ladies double the
Quantity he gave the others. Flattered
by this marked attention, she put the
question through the interpreter: ::
"Why do you serve me more liber-
ally than the rest? ?" because you
have a larger mouth" was the
straightforward reply.

The Pig and the Hen.

The pig and the hen,
They both got in one pen,
And the hen said she wouldn't go out.
"Don't yon be quite SO big"
And he gave her push with his snout
"You are rough, and you're fat,
But who cares for all that
will stay If choose" says the hen.
"No, mistress, no longer? ?"
Says the pig, I'm the stronger,;,
Then the hen cackled out
Just as close to his snout
AS she dare: "You're an ill-natured brute;
And If had the corn,
Just as sure as I'm born,
would send you to starve or to root!
"But you don't own the cribs;
So think that my ribs
win be never the leaner for you.
This trough is my trough,
says the pig. "why the better you'll do"
you're not bit fair,
And you're cross as bear;
What harm do do In your pen?
But pig ts pig,
And don't care fig
For the worst you can say" says the men.
Says the pig. you will care
And tear your two wings from your neck"
You have got I" says the hen,
Beginning to scratch and to peck.
Now, the pig stood amazed,
And the bristles appraised
A moment past fell down so sleek.
"Neighbor Biddy," says he,
'If you'll just allow me,
1 will show you a nice place to picd!'
So she followed him off,
And they ate from one trough
They had quarreled for nothing, they saw
And when they had fed,
Neighbor Hen," the pig said,
"Won't you stay here and rest In my straw !!
mo, thank you you see
That sleep In a tree"
Says the hen "but must 60 away:
So grateful goodbye"
make your home In my sty,"
Says the pig, land come in every day.
Now, my child will not miss
The true moral of this
Little story OF anger and strife;
For word spoken soft
Will turn enemies oft
Into friends that will stay friends for life."

George f. Bailey Il Co. cashed two

to purchase liquor. the influence and
desire for which drove him to the
commission of these and other Grim

heretofore by Edward on forged
checks were always made good by
his father, who hoped by so doing to
keep his son from disgrace, and
thinking that it might serve as a
warning to any future attempt. But
it was of no avail. His acts were be-

A Small Cannery.


Messrs. Hemlow & Rice of Salt Lake,
who are conducting cannery at that
place, are here with view to instruct
ing a class in the art of canning fruits,
vegetables and meats. By the aid of a
camp kettle and soldering iron they
went to work Monday in the open air in
rear of Vests butcher shop and demon
strated what could be done in the way of
canning beef. We were shown sample
of their canned beef, which we think as
good as any Eastern brand we ever
tasted. 1t is generally supposed that to
engage IN the cannery business requires
considerable capital, but these gentle
men have demonstrated what can be
done by the simplest kind of an outfit,
and say that the cost of appliances nee
essary for putting up 5000 to 1000 cans
day need not exceed $50.-Glacier.

Baker, Col. E. w. Pike and the editor of
the Sentinel. Mr.. Burns stated plainly
that to rebuild q depot at Grants was
simply out of the question. The COM
pany was determined on new location
and its only interest was to satisfy the
majority of its patrons on this side of
the river. Three locations offered them
selves, namely, Rufus, Biggs and Muir
rays orchard, and the latter was ap-
venient and accessible to the majority
of those who will use it than either
Rufus or Biggs. It will be remembered
that the people on the Oregon side of
the river, offer in the event of the depot
being located at Murray's to build
good grade up the Jordan canyon, the
foot of which is nearly opposite the
proposed depot site. 1t is believed that
a grade in no way inferior to the PresDy
grade and possibly easier can be built
up the'Jordan canyon, entirely out of
the way of sand drifts, and possibly a
mile shorter, but certainly no longer to
the proposed depot than the present
grade is to Grant. The location of a
depot and townsite at Murray's will
be pleasant change to those who
have been compelled to live and do
business in the old town of Grant, as it
is entirely free from sand drifts, is well
protected with shade and orchard trees
and has abundance OF living water for
irrigation and household purposes.
The Hon. E. o. Mccoy, G. w. Smith
and Sam Carson have entered into a
bond with the o. R. & N. Co. to build a

The Cow.

We have received a communication on
the subject of the town COW, and though
it is well written and properly signed we
Go not like to give it space, and for sew
eral reasons. The COW question has
done more to embitter life, separate
families, and destroy the piece and quiet
ness of entire communities than all
others. Like all other questions there
are two sides to the COW argument; the
cows side and the other side. Those
who own cows are on the cows side /;
those who don't own cows, and do own
gardens and shrubbery, are on the other
side, and there to stay. Our CORES
pondent complains bitterly that while
life is made one Joyous round of pleasure
for the COW it is turned into gall and
wormwood for him. We don't own any
COW, and we don t own any city property.
but board at the UmatilTa House, that
gets its milk from Vanbibber, who keeps
his COWS out of town, and 30 neither
directly nor indirectly are we party to
don't propose to be. We battled once
in the newspaper columns against the
COW. An irate Amazonian, champion of
the fullest freedom to the COW COM
mensurate with her happiness, main
tanned the other side of the fight by
word of mouth, and the presence of a
club. We buy our butter. The cow
question is too deep for us. We buy
what milk we use too-frozen. Durn a.
COW, anyhow. Next to the horse the
COW is the noblest animal, except dog.
The COW does not give milk, she stands
still, sometimes, while it is removed
from her travelling reticule, being pulled
out by the handles. Still we never
could see why the COW so craved a diet
of choice roses and valuable shrubbery.
Her butter or milk always goes at the
same price. Columbia river water is
better than all the roses to enhance the
value of her yield. Why shouldn't she
run at large if che wants to? Some
people neglect their plants and bushes,
and the COW trims them up: She also
reminds the man of the house that he
has left the front gate open, and does it
delicately because she always wakes
the mans wife up first, or the hired
girl. and she tells him, and he, gets up
and exhibits his pyjama to the neighbors
by the light of the silver moon, also his
temper, the latter can be best seen on a
dark night.
OF course the COW can run at large at
night, why shouldn't she2 Doesn't she
chew gum and furnish it herself2 Then
why shouldn't she chews to do as she
pleases2 OF course she cud. If we
owned a COW it might be different, but
that's the way we feel about it now. A
man gets tired seeing the same old brush
and flowers in yard anyway, and if it
wasn't for the cow, there would be no
change-never. We like change; and
then the girls ought to keep the gate
fastened anyhow; that's what keeps the
COW and the other calf out. That's what
it doee, and that's where we propose to
stand on this question, till the dilap-
idated linen comes off the shrubbery.

Not for the Cause.

The Oregonian, in speaking of the
man Schupert breaking the windows of
the Umatilla House recently, gets the
story from o. P. passengers who were
here. The story is in the main correct
but as it came from people who. see
things and seeing tell, there is of course
an error in it and one that wrongs the
proprietors of the Umatilla. The man
broke the windows because Mr.. johnson,
the telegraph operator, whose Office is in
the Umatilla House, would not give him
