tenance of any kind of life or soul
saving means; but when it appears that
TAO men out of ISL through this agency
have in two years attained to physical
salvation, have been released from the
bonds of the drink fiend and have be-
come sober, thrifty and industrious
members of society, the regions of the
miraculous seem to have been reached.
Any civilized community would hail
the proclamation of this ratio of reform,
or even much lower ratio, with such
expressions of Joy and delight as the
saints in heaven greet the redemption
of sinners. Consider the matter in its
lowest aspect, that of the pecuniary ad-
vantage to each individual community
benefited and the state at large. Here
are TAO men whose average annual
earnings are, at the lowest estimate,
$500 each, or $4,000 in the aggregate.
Look on this picture, then on that:
100000 spent for rum, and 100000
expended for bread, clothing, boots
and shoes, churches and schools, the
residue deposited in the savings banks
for day of need. The details need no
celebrating. Even a child of tender
years has marked the difference be-
tween the inebriate's home and the
Preside of the man of thrift and
sobriety.
But there is the moral side TO this re-
form of the individual that far tran
scends, in the Importance of its results,
the material side. Seven hundred
forty men withdrawn in two years from
the ranks of the drinking, and the vices
and crimes that attend inebriety, is a
vast accession to the moral forces of
society. Their vicious and demoraliz-
ing example is banished they become
examplars of the moral advantages of
temperate and well-ordered lives. Each
is living apostle, not of temperance
merely, but of total abstinence also
Seven hundred forty men added to the
ranks of a community's good citize H.
ship in two years is an increment to
the moral forces of the state whose in
6uence is widely felt at the state cleo
tions, at town and school meetings,
and in the legislative department of
the state government. They constitute
a new force interested in choosing bet
ter men for office, in making better
laws, and in the better enforcement of
law. But it is almost reflection upon
human intelligence to undertake to set
forth, in formal way, the advantages
accruing to society from this wholesale
redemption of men from vicious habit
and the crimes that too often have their
source and inspiration in the cup. No
man 80 stupid that he cannot see and
understand these advantages; and we
trust the number is small, and growing
less under each years accommodating

the men engaged in administering it a
most devout Godspeed.

TO old-timers, those who lived in the

something very suggestive in the Argus

Hence these tears.

house AMI the fOlkeSthing the popular
house, corresponding to our house of
representatives. In 1871 the king and
cabinet decided to build Notifications
which would cost large sum of money
and involve increased taxation The
folkeSthing refused its consent TO the
project, and insisted upon its right to
initiate financial measures It de-
manded the reSignatiOn OF EStrup be-
cause he could not command the sup
port of the lower house. The king re
fused to assent TO this, claiming the
right to choose his ministry. but IL
nally yielded every other point. In
1881 the quarrel broke out anew. The
king dissolved the fOlkesthing four
times, but the liberals gained strength
at each election. In 1898 a vote of
want of confidence in Estrup was
passed and supplies were largely re
duced. Estrup went on administering
the government and the house threw
out every measure he proposed. Then
1t refused to vote the budget and the
ministry was left without means of
carrying on the government The
king dissolved the diet and empowered
the ministry to collect taxes and make
all necessary expenditures, and this
condition of things prevailed until the
resignation of EsTup. The king and
his ministers would frame provisional
budget. the landSthing. or house of
lords, would approve it, and the folkeS-
thing would reject it. But the execu-
tive would put it in force all the same.

government, while the fOlkesthing
could do nothing but protest, they
could not see their way clear to en-
force their protest, as the commons of
England did against King Chales. by
an appeal to arms. Perhaps they
were afraid that his two powerful
SOnS-in-laW, the car of Russia and the
prince of Wales, might assist him in
a war of that kind. King Christian
seems to be a reactiOnary monarch.
His course in this struggle somewhat
resembles that of the British king
who lost his head--but it must be re-
membered that Denmark has been
plagued of late years with an extrava-
CANT growth of cOmmunistic opinion.
and the king has doubtless deemed it
his duty to take a firm stand against
this element. Now that the objection

may be expected to go more smoothly

Hitherto the cremator has been deem
ed a nuisance and an unpl otitable

payers; but changes are now in prog
reSS which may turn even the Gre
mator to useful account.
Much heat is necessarily evolved in
the cremation of the refuse; and the
idea is now gaining ground that such
heat my be largely and advantageously
utilized in the production of steam
power and electricity, instead of being
permitted to run to waste The pro
auction of a furnace suitable for the
most economical combustion of all
kinds OF refuse has necessarily re-
qulred much time and skill: and IT
was only after % years of close ap-
pI1cation to the problem that the late
NJ. Fountain de Iivet, a French en-
gIneer, succeeded in securing a DOW
ertul natural draught without artif-
clal means, and in consuming rubbish
without smoke or noXious fumes of
any kind.
1t is, of course. hardly necessary to
add one word of caution in regard to
the invention. 1t is not to be assumed
that because rubbish is burnt the~elec-
u1clty necessarily costs absolutely moth
ing; the cost of plant, distribution of
power, and many other expenses. must
not be lost sight of, to say nothing
OF the labor expended in collecting the
refuse. Allowing, however, for all
this, it is quite clear that an invention
which ridS the community of a great
nuisance, and does so without creating
a further one in the shape of nOXOus
fumes and smoke, and at the same
time turns to good account the heat
generated, must confer benefits on the
community at large; and that the
keen interest aroused in the new adap-
tatiOn is amply warranted by the
sound economic principles on which
it is based.

A MILK DINNER.
\ Repast Warranted to Charm the
Vegetarian.

In the rural districts this season the
milk dinner is quite the fad-a good
substantial meal III which meat is
omitted. vegetables taking their place,
all we'll cooked, and pure milk being
one Of the principal ingredients. Cere-
ais, corn, potatoes, pOtcheese, good
bread and creamery butter,
with a dessert of bread or custard
pudding, for this interesting menu.
For the first course, oatmeal, rice or
small hominy carefully prepared is
the main dish. And served with cream
and powdered sugar it is "a dish fit
for a king"
For the piece de resistance, corn
prepared with milk, that vegetable be
ing now at its height, is a succuIent
tidbit
To prepare this dish to perfection
the corn should be freshly and care
fully picked and all ears should be
full grown and tender. After it has
been stripped of its silk split each
row of kernels with a sharp knife
Then cut off the outer edge of the en-
tire ear, after which with the point of
the knife scrape out all that remains,
leaving the dry cob. Cover with fresh
sweet milk and boil for fifteen min
utes. Remove from the fire and sea-
son with butter pepper and salt to
the taste.
If the corn is not quite fresh, as is
usually the case in cities, and has been
gathered for tWenty-fOur hours, add
a small amount of sugar to the milk
before it commences to boil This acts
as a substitute for the natural sweet
ness. While nothing can quite COM
pensate for corn fresh from the stalk,
yet this treatment greatly improves
this vegetable, which from necessity
the city folk indulge in every day.
Potatoes can be scalloped and when
done to a turn form a palatable dish.
Or they can be creamed and appear
on the table in all their snowy white
ness. Now it is not every one who
knows the best way to scallop pota-
toes. To make this dish all that lis
claimed for it. cut cold boiled potatoes
into small slices. Fill a pudding dish
with layers of these thin slices. each
sprinkled with flour and seasoned with
pepper and salt plentifully supplied
with. bits of butter. When the dish
is full pour over the whole one pint
of thick, rich cream. Dredge the top
with -four, cover with bits Of butter.
Bake in a moderate oven for a full
hour. When cooked the top should be
brown and all beneath the top layer
rich, creamy, delicious.
The dessert for this milk dinner
should be bread or custard pudding,
which, if rightly made, is excellent in
its way. Pitchers CT rich milk should
grace each corner of the table Pot
cheese made into small balls and rive
ing even the Neufchatel cheese, viii.
crackers and cream coffee, is the
charming ending of this palatable
meal.

HILL FOR GO YERN0R.

David Bennett Hill has been
nominated by the democracy Of
New York for the governorship.
1t had been expected that Mr.,
Whitney would be named for the
place, and as matter of fact he
was, but he peremptorily declined.
Hill did not seek the Office, nor
did he desire the nomination; but
the convention being denied by
Whitney went to him unanimous
ly, and would not accept any re-
fusal. Hill is forced into the fight,
and it is safe to say that he will
make the fight of his life. His
future depends on theresult of this
battle, for if he wins it he will be
the democratic candidate for presi-
dent as sure as the sun rises. He
has several times demonstrated his
ability to carry the state, and
should he again do so, the nomina-
ton for the presidency is his. This
is the natural logic of events.
The result viii be battle royal.
1t will draw into it the entire
strength Of the national parties,
and in New York will be concen-
trated the force of both parties.
David Bennett Hill has never been
downed, and if he is not whipped
in New York now, with the country
in arms against the Havemeyer
bill and the income tax, then in
deed is he invincible.-The Dalles
Chronicle.
The Eugene Guard says: The
republican candidate for governor
of New York, Levi P Morton, ex
vice president, was nominated on
account tof his money, and to pre-
vent the nomination of presi-
dental possibility. Hill is poor
man. IT viii be contest of brains

The Astoria Budget says: One
of the advantages of the new sal
ary system for county officials is
shown in the result of the findings
Of the grand jury. Up toSaturday
night the grand jury had reported
true bills or indictment against
nine persons, six Of whom on be-
ing arraigned pleaded guilty a
thing never before heard of in the
history Of Clatsop county. Under
the old law there was some object
for the sheriff and the clerk to in
duce the prisoners to plead mot
guilty" and stand trial in order
that said officials nlightget the fees
for issuing subpoenas and the mile
age for serving them. But now it
is different, the officials get no ex-
ira pay for serving these papers
and have no motive for using their
influence in that direction, but are
at liberty to induce the accused, in
cases where the evidence is SO
strong as to insure conviction, to
plead guilty, and thus the county
lis saved thousands ofdollars of un-
necessary expense.

There is no medicine SO often needed
in every home and so admira bly, adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
OF rheumatism or neuralgia quieted.
The severe pain of burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed
in much less time than when medicine
has to be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflammation sets
in, which insures a cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive irnme-
diate treatment before the parts become
swollen, which can only be done when
Pain Balm is kept at hand. A sore
throat may be cnred before it becomes
serious. A troublesome corn may be re-
moved by applying it twice day for a
week or two. A lame back may be
cured and several days Of valuable time
saved or pain in the side or chest re-
lieyed without paying doctor bill.

will never regret it. For sale by all

While the democratic and repub-

then again it may-many think
the indications point that way
