TO TAKE A TITLE
It's ACQUISITION Forbidden by
Law.
CONTRARY TO The CONSTITUTION.
How 1t Has Been Fastened
on a Newspaper.

The Constitution of the
United States forbids the
acquisition of titles.
In the far west not much
respect is paid to titles.
Neally every man is a "Col-
onel." or an Honorable"
1t is so little thought of
that many men prefer to be
called plain John Smith, Til
Ford, 10 Simon.
But titles are sometimes con-
ferred by accident, and become
a really good handle to catch
hold of. In that case the peo-
pie catch on and use the handle
right freely aid properly.
A CURIOUS CASE.
A stack of letters is received
at this office in every mail and
while many of them are printed
in large letters "The One Cent
Daily, Salem Oregon" a great
many are written and there is a
great variety of ways of writ
ing it. Here are some of the
forms:

"1ct. DAILY, Salem, Or"

"TuE ONE CENT DAILY, sa-

That's o queer title for a
newspaper to get isn't it?
About the last on earth, any
one would think Of
"THE HONORABLE"
Just think that over, what it
means in connection with jour
nalism.
Honorable with itself.
Honorable with the people.
Honorable with it's readers.
Honorable in it's politics.
Honorable with it's contem-
poraries.
Honorable in all it's dealings.

BEWARE oF FRESH OLIVES.

How a California Planter Amuses Himself
at the Expense of Innocent Travellers.
Eastern visitors in California are al
ways much interested in the olive plan
tations which, in recent years, have be-
come feature of the most southerly
counties of the state. The lovers of the
succulent fruit when picked and bot
tied for sale in the east and north are
always anxious to taste the olive fresh
and ripe. There is popular impression
that it Is sweet and delicious; but, like
many other popular impressions, this is
q delusion and snare.
A few miles south of San Diego
where the railroad makes junction
with small one track road leading into
Mexico, a large planter has taken ad-
vantage Of this delusion for his own
amusement On the arrival Of each train
from the north numerous travellers dis.
mount TO wait the starting Of the train
across the Mexican border. For their
benefit the planter has nailed box out.

An odd character 10 now In Win
ona. Mimi, in the person OF George
Burns, who has good reason for his
eccentricity. He has papers to
show that he was head engineer on
the steamer City of Savannah, which
was wrecked on the coast OF Massa-
chusetts on January Is, 1884, while
en- route from Boston to Florida. He
was reversing the levers when the
steamer struck the rocks, and he was
thrown into the machinery, receiv-
ing injuries which crippled him for
life. There were 118 lives lost In
the accident, and Burns was one of
the thirty-seven surviving. For q
long while he lay on cot in the
death row of Bellevue Hospital, New
York. DR.. Hayes Agnew attended
his case and removed five ribs from
his left side. and trephined his skull.
using six ounces of silver sheeting
for this purpose. He was compelled
to wear plaster Of paris jacket for
four years after the accident. A
portion OF the lower end of his spine
and both elbow joints are gone.
One knee cap Is on the back OF the
leg, and his heart Is on the extreme
right side of his body. He Is now
GA years OF age. and walks very we'll
and has cheerful disposition. He
is q member OF the Grand Army Of
the Republic, and served during the
war on the gunboat which was sta
toned at Cairo during the early days
of the Civil war.

Great Bread Eaters.

Bread is one article of food that
is cheaper in England and Scotland
than in this country, said Mr.. John
Stephenson, of Glasgow, Scotland.
Mr.. Stephenson and brother con-
duct bakery establishments in Glas-
gov and London, the largest, per-
haps, in the world, certainly the
largest in Europe.
''The people on our side" he con-
tinued, "eat more bread than do the
citizens of America, and not so much
meat or vegetables, which are dearest
in Great Britain than in this coun-
try. We make two-pound loaves of
square form, the weight OF which
must be stamped on each loaf, and
the law against lightweight bread Is
very rigid. Every week we consume
$500 barrels of -four, the biggest
part of which comes from the United
States. OF late we have been getting
good deal of Argentine wheat, and
a little from Australia. About the
best wheat in the world is grown in
Hungary, but Of that there is no
great quantity imported into Eng
land.

Short Work With Patients.

To diagnose patients at the rate Of
two and half a minute seems pretty
quick work. According to German
contemporary, this is about the aver
age performance of Pastor Kneipp of
cold water fame, at Woerrishofen.
When receiving patients on busy
day the pastor sits at long table in
q large plainly furnished room, smok-
ing a hugh cigar. He dictates his
prescriptions to an assistant in Q
solemn tone, as il he were presiding
at a religious ceremonial. Men,
women and children of every station
in life file past him. In an hour and
a quarter he gets through $50 with.
out difficulty. There is no examina.
ton, and few questions are asked.
Indeed, there is little necessity, for
cold water baths and bandages and
walks on wet grass with bare feet ex-
haust the worthy pastors pharmaco-
paeia. There is one exception-an
ointment composed of honey and
medical herbs for those who suffer
from diseases OF the eye But then
the ointment is a sovereign one for
everything, and 30 Pastor Kneipp
manages to break the record as an
oculist as well.

Measuring Starlight.

An English astronomer named Min

which accurately measures the guam
tity Of light given out by star.
Stars are designated as being of the
first down to the twentieth magni-
tude, according to the intensity of
the light given out. The magnitude
of a star has hitherto been judged by
the eye, and anything like exactitude
could not be obtained. By the new
invention the rough designation of
magnitude is represented by num-
bers which give the exact ratio Of
one star to another. in light-giving
powers. The star Arcturus, for ex-
ample, is estimated by the new pro.
cess to give 754 times the light Of
Regulus.
This instrument will be of great
use not only in astronomy, but in
meteorology also. The amount Of
light which reaches the earth from
the stars varies according to the
state Of the atmosphere, aud the in
ventor claims that forecasts Of
weather eau be obtained in this way
which will be far more accurate than
those obtained at present.
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1895-11-14

Cats may not be superstitious, but they
object to being startled just as strongly as
any nervous old maid, particularly by a
parrot. When parrot in large cage
arrived in a passengers baggage at the
Great Northern depot yesterday morning,
Baggagemaster Miller set him on the floor
of the baggage room. There he stood for
two mortal hours in dead silence, and no
coaxing of the passengers could arouse
his loquacity.
When the crowd had left the depot Q
large sleek cat appeared on the scene, and
spying the bird, marched majestically up
to the cage and sat down. He poked his
nose between the bars and sat contempla-
ting Poll, thinking what dainty morsel
he would make if those pesky bars were
only out of the way. He had sat thus for
an hour, and the silence had gradually
grown denser when Mr.. Miller was
aroused by the unearthly screams from
Polls directions:
"Ha. la! ONE on, boys"
The cat did not care to continue the
conversation; he just went, his tail up,
lifted and swollen with fear till it looked
like feather buster. The parrot smiled
geeful smile, and the cat did not come
back to trouble him.
