A PRETTY FRONT FACE.


terminates in very broad and very fiat
tail, which forms an admirable propeller.
Its front limbs are simply big, flat pad
dies. 1t has no hair, or at least none to
speak of, "a smooth but very thick and
tough skin, small, weak eyes and blunt
nose. 1t lives solely on aquatic plants.
Unlike the seal, it is quite unable to come
out on land.
The manatee belongs to mammalian
order called sirenia, or sea cows, which
contains only three spccies-our manatee,
that of west Africa and the dugong Of
Australia.
For some particular reason, probably the
abundance Of good food combined with a
good depth of water, number of mana
tees have chosen to inhabit the st. Lucie
river, Florida, which flows into Indian
river. Their presence there has been we'll
known for 20 years or so; but fortunately
for them, they possess neither the check
cred leather hide Of the sad eyed alligator,
the spun glass plumes of the unhappy
egret or the delicious flesh of the wild tur-
key, and so rs yet they have not been en-
tirely exterminated.
The bones of this animal are massive
solid and quite heavy--some hunters will
tell You its bones are 'solid ivory and
its skin is as thick and tough as that of q
hippopotamus Very good canes have
been made of strips of manatee skin twist.
ed like lightning rod and dried. Its
flesh is very good and tastes quite like lean
pork. Curiously enough, this strange crea-
ture actually sheds it's outer skin every
year as does a serpent.
THE feeling is foolish one," remarks
Professor Hornaday, but for all that, az
patriotic American have always felt pos
itively proud Of the fact that we can count
the manatee as belonging to the mamma
liam fauna of the United States"

Among Other Things 1t Is an Animal For

Although this strange creature is OF
goodly size, often reaching weight Of
several hundred pounds and sometimes
attaining length of 10 feet, yet Professor
Hornaday ventures to assert that not
more than one person out of every 1000 in
the United States could now arise and cor
rectly answer the question, "What is q
manateeY" The answer given in st.
Nicholas by this naturalist is in brief as
follows:
The manatee is an animal that lives ex-
olusiyely IN the water and while it is
shaped somewhat like a seal, it is very far
from being one. Instead of having hind
dippors like seal, the body of the manatee

! The Story of
! Puritana
s. Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., IL. D.. who
q for thirty-two years was a, the head Of
Dartmouth Medical College, belonged to
the famous Crosby family of physicians.
i which for several generations has furnished
s more distinguished medical men than any
) other family in America. His father was
DR.. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who PRO
cured the charter OF the State Medical
Society, OF which he was for thirty years a
5 conspicuous member one brother, Dr. Josiah
Crosby, invented the invalid bed and the
i me:hcd OF making extensions of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another brother,
DR.. Ihos. X. Crosby, was chief surgeon in
Columbian College Hospital during the war,
! and later professor Of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth College; while DR..
DiXi Crosby himself was the inventor and
3 disooTerer Of various importan. improve
ments in medicine and surgery, including
! new and unique mode of reducing metacarpo-
phalanseal dislocation, opening of abscess 1t
hip-joint, etc, etc.
At the carly age of twcntyfour his ex-
! traordinay skill ard success in overcoming
disease had already attracted the attention
of medical men throughout the world, and |
won for him the highest honors. His great
est achievement was the discovery of an |
original method for pertecting and com.
pounding in permanent form what has be-
come known IS his "prizc formula" and |
which, under the name OF Puritana, is |
! legally protected
determination OF this remarkable medical |
discovery consists Of simple New England
roots and herbs, and the original family
recipe for it has descended to the long line
Of Grossly physicians from their Puritan
ancestors. rs peculiar vegetable compost
ton rendered it necessary to brew it when
ever needed in the early days OF its history,
| and after the scattering Of the Puritan
families 10 remote localities, where the !
. necessary ingredients were not to be found,
!, many attempts were made to put i; up in
permanent form, all Of which failed until Dr. |
Dixi Crosby discovered means and methods,
The result of which is Natures Cure COM

Il The prune industry of Wasco county
is just beginning to be developed and q
ffew years will see our present acreage
greatly increased. A visit was made
yesterday to the new prune perforator
and grader at Young's wagon shop and
an examination shows that the machine
will probably be- of great aid in the
prune business. INSTEAD Of dipping the
fruit in lye, in order to break the skin,
as is done IN California, the prunee are
placed on narrow Sits covered with fine
nails almost like needle points. A shak-
ing process is then undergone and the
nails make small punctures in the skin
of the fruit, not large enough to lacerate
it but just 80 the heat can enter the
prune. The fruit paeses over sieves
which act as graders, the smaller ones
falling through in one tray while the
larger ones pass on to another. Fruit
growers may possibly find an examina-
tion of the machine interesting.

go. But no jury in Oregon would con-
vict under these circumstances.

It is reported that wool is selling in
Salem at 1216 cents. We are not sur
prised; the local supply is limited and
they have wooden mill; that is what
The Dalles should have. Our hourinR
mills pay from one to two cents more fol
wheat than other buyers; they thereby
get the choice OF the crop, make the best
-four in Oregon and are compelled to run
to their tnll capacity. The same condi-
tions would exist with q good woolen
mill.

THE HOMESTEAD ExEMPTYoN.

1t is now pretty well settled that the
homestead exemption act of 1898, is in
valid by reason of change made in the
act in one house which was never ac-
quiesced in by the other. Whether the
defect was intentional on the part of the
enemies of the act or was due to the
careleesness of some clerk will never be
known; whatever the cause the law is
useless. This is not the first time legis-
latioR has been thus thwarted. Incom-
potency is more frequently the cause of
the trouble than dishonesty, and yet we
continue to send men to the legislature
because of their political popularity
rather than because of their fitness to
make laws, and the legislators continue
to appoint clerks because of their polit-
ical pull rather than because of their
clerical ability. Imperfect legislation
makes business for the courts and courts
make taxes for the people to pay and
payment of taxes makes us grumble; !;
but ali this does not make us better
voters. We will continue to vote for the
politician and the politician Will con-
tinue to create clerksbips and I'LL them
with careless or incompetent vote getters.

Cornell dudes at Henley the other day
and therefore conclude that the United
States is of little consequence, and pos
sibly we are of little utility to the nohil-
ity; but we are ahead of the world.
We taught the world to run chips by
steam and we have in the st. louis,
City of Paris and City of New York the
finest steamships a6oat. We built and
operated the first railway locomotive
and we have the best equipped railroads
in the world. We first transmitted
messages by the telegraph and taught
the world to converse with people miles
away by the telephone. The phono-
graph, electric light. electric motor were
our inventions. The sewing machines
and typewriters; the agricultural ma
chinery and appliances which SOW, reap
and thresh the crops of the world were
largely, if not wholly, developed here.
Our trotting horses and our bicycles
have the worlds record.
In all there and in thousands OF other
matters of consequence in the world of
commerce, science and manufacturing
we are ahead; but these are of no in
terest to the English victors at Henley
and their friends. They can beat as a
race between dudes. who never worked
and they are satisfied. So are we.
