Honnst- In War.

The Frsnoh marshal. Turenne, was
great general. and his character bears
examination for nobility. He was a
great nam. Many incidents which are
related Of him show his modesty. gener-
osity and honesty as we'll as his courage
and military ability. A little story of
one of his German campaigns illustrates
his rare sorupulcusness even III time Of
war.
The authorities of Frankfort believed,
from che movements Of his army, that
he intended passing through their terri
tory. They sent a depatation to him
which offered him a large sum Of money
if he would alter the direction of his
march and leave Frankfort unmolested.
They were surprised III more ways
than one by his answer. Gentlemen, "
he said, my conscience will not pHr-
NIT me to accept your money, for have
never intended to leaa my army through

How to yvhiten the whiskcrs.

A farmer in Bucks county, with black
hair and rnustache and three days
growth of snow white whiskers, drop
ped into Ninth street barber shop, and
in the course of conversation with the
loquacious artist it appeared that the
farmer had for years shaved himself with
o jaokknifc. He thought that perhaps
that had something to do with the pc
culiar hirsute contrast, and the barber
promptly confirmed his opinion. 'The
pulling of dull razor on the roots of
the whiskers,'' said the barber, ''de-
stroys in short time all the oil and
pigment that gives color. Most men
have too much regard for their nerves
to keep it up long enough to turn tho
beard entirely white, but many partial
ly gray ones are due to that cause. A
keen blade improperly handled is equal
ly harmful, as close scrape of the skin
results i'll mum berless seed warts, which
can only be removed by surgical oper-
alton. "--Philadelphia Record.

SIMPLE MEANS.

The Novel Implement Used to Remove
Gas from Well.
A good workman likes good tools,
but in IAN exigency he can get along
with very simple and homely contriv-
ances. The st. Louis Globe-Democrat
cites striking example.
A well was to be cleaned, but the
man who had undertaken the job was
afraid to go down until he had tested
the quality of the air at the bottom
He let down lighted candle and when
it was about si2. feet from the bottom it
went out as suddenly as if a Whit of
wind had struck it.
That told the man all he needed to
know. The well was full of poisonous
gas. He took small umbrella, tied
string to the handle and lowered it
open into the well. Then he drew it
up, carried it few feet from the well
and upset it. This operation he re-
peated twenty or thirty times, with
the bystanders, who are never absent
on such occasions, all laughing at him.
After this he let down another can
die. 1t burned clearly even at the bot
tom. Before going down to his work
he explained to those who had been
making fun of him that the gas in the
well was carbonic acid gas, which is
heavier than air, and therefore could
be drawn up in an umbrella as if it had
been so much water.

a GREAT BEAR HUNTER.

Five Hundred of the Animals Slain by
Gen. Wade Hampton.
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, in his evil
derness Hunter" speaks of Gen. Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina, as the
man who, with horse and hound, has
been the mightiest hunter America has
ever SEEM His special game has been
bear and deer, but he has also had the
fortune to kill some sixteen cougars
the panther of the east, the mountain
lion of the west, and the lion and puma
of South America. OF black bears, ac-
cording to Mr.. Roosevelt, he has prob
ably killed more than any other man
living in the United States. Thirty or
forty of these he has killed with the
knife.
His plan was, when he found that
the dogs had the bear at bay, to walk
up close and cheer them on. They
would instantly seize the bear in a
body, and he would then rush in and
stab it behind the shoulder, reaching
over so as to inf1ict the wound on the
opposite side from that where he stood.
He escaped scathless from all these
encounters save one, in which he was
rather severely torn in the forearm.
Many other hunters have used the
knife, but perhaps none so frequently.
Gen. Hampton always hunted with
large packs of hounds, managed some
times by himself and sometimes by his
negro hunters. He occasionally took
out forty dogs at time. He found
that all his dogs together could not
kill big, lat bear, but they occasion
ally killed three-year-olds, or lean and
poor bears.
During the course of his life he has
himself killed, or been in at the death
of, five hundred bears, of which at
least two-thirds have fallen by his own
hands. In the years just before the
war he had on one occasion, in Missis-
sippi, killed sixty-eight bears in five
months. Once he killed four bears in
a day; at another time three, and fre-
quently two.
The two largest bears he himself
killed weighed respectively four hun
dred and eight and four hundred and
ten pounds. Most of his hunting for
bears was done in northern Mississippi,
where he had a plantation.

vITIATED AIR.
Impurity of the Atmosphere of Steam
Heated Buildings.

Impurity of the Atmosphere of Steam
Heated Buildings.
In an article contributed to the
Philadelphia Record by DIR. F. A. Ad-
ans, the inquiry is propounded
whether the immense increase of
steam-heated Office buildings, in which
the great majority of rooms have no
adequate means for the renewal of the
air to be warmed, may not in a large
measure account for the prevalence of
pneumonia among middle-aged men.
Many of these buildings, DIR. Adams
says, are admirably constructed to
keep out-air, whether cold or not; this
very perfection contributing to their
insalubrity. In these Theoretically
sealed Office rooms that abound in
business buildings the steam heats the
atmosphere to a delightfully."- comfort
able degree, and the occupant breathes
and rebreathes the air during zero
days when an open window cannot be
endured, the effect being to silently
undermine his powers of resistance, so
that when he goes forth, exchanging
such tropical air for the keen breeze
of unrestricted nature, it happens
that, through some subtle change in
his system which has robbed his lungs
of their power of resistance, their ca
pacity to endure the onset or transi-
ton is gone and the subtle poison of
unrenewed air does its deadly work in
the form of pneumonia.

THURSDAY, FEB. 8, 1884,
a SKIN MONEY STATE.

Everyone knows that among the pio-
neers of this country charter" was the
usually accepted medium of exchange.
money was received with great distrust,
and the settlers had to make shift with
whatever substitute for money came to
hand.
In those days when game was still
plentiful, skins were the most available
articles for this purpose. When dressed
they occupied little space; they could
easily be carried long distances, and they
were readily exchanged at the trading
posts for ammunition and other "store
goods" But it seemed very quaint that
any legislature should have established
q system of currency on pelt basis, as
that of the short lived state of franklin
did.
The territory now embraced in the
state of Tennessee once belonged to
North Carolina. The settlers in this
then wild interior section fell out with
the North Carolinians, and the result
was that they seeded and, constituted
themselves into separate state, called
the state of Franklin. One of the first
legislative acts of this upstart govern
ment was one reciting that whereas
the collecting of taxes in specie was op-
pressive to the good people of the COM
monwealth, the civil officials should
draw their salaries in pelts." The gov
ernor was to have 1000 deer skins
year; his secretary 500 coon skins, and
each county clerk 300 beavers. The JUS
tice's fee for signing warrant was one
muskrat pelt, and the constable's for
serving it, mink skin.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1894-02-08

There is room for great reformation
in the matter of salaries of state officers.
If the stated salaries are not enough,
they should be raised. and the fee sys-
tenn abolished. The present salary of
the governor, 81 800, is such as to pre-
clude a poor man from occupying that
position, and while the other 81 800 or
$4,000 earned in various ways by the
overnor is nothing to be begrudged,
the principle is wrong in occupying the
mind of the chief executive of the state
with such matters. The secretary of
state also helps out his salary by COM
mission of g of 1 per cent on the in
vested capital of all insurance compan-
les within the state. Such petty busi-
ness should not be applicable to these
leading state officers, if indeed officials
in any capacity.
