TEMPERED IN LIVING FLESH.
CORY Tale Of the Manufacture or ueh

CORY Tale Of the Manufacture OF den'
uine Damascus Blades.
TT has been long believed that
some if not all, high-grade ancient
tools Of steel were tempered in hu-
man blood, and a recent discovery IN
a ruin of Syria substantiates the pc
lief, says an exchange. In the re-
mains Of an arEaor's smithy was
found a parchment, written III foyr-
lac characters, giving directions for
making the famous "Damascus
b]adcs,' The recipe reads as fol-
| lows:

Portland. July 24.-Thc demo-
cratic state central committee Will
not call a convention to act on the
silver question. Secretary Davis has
received replies to his circular from
chajrmen Of II county committees
who are opposed to such action. IllIs
is majority of the county commit
tees.
Davis asked two questions in hi!
letter: "Should a convention b'
held and is your county for orr aga'ns
free silvcr?'
To these questions 20 Of the 3
committeeman have replied. Seven
teen of them are opposed to CONVEX
tjon and three favor it. AS sever
teen is majority in the state con
mitec the question issettled. Elcvc
members said their counties are ol
; posed to free silver and nine sal
their counties favored it.
Thus according to a majority
the members Of the state commute
= that have replied, the democrats
the state are opposed to free coinag
Twelve more members are yet to
heard from and their replies m

MIDSUMMER BUSINESS.
Some Suggestive and Seasonab1c
Thoughts for Business Men

Thoughts for Business Men,
A great many merchants cut down
their advertising in the summer
Some even stop it all together.
In everyday life, when thing IS
hard to do, it only calls forth greater
effort. If the ]aborer can't move the
stone, he gets crowbar and a block
Of wood. He makes a lcver-and
the stone moves. II the crowbar
isn't long enough he gets something
longer. He doesn't give up, because
the stone has got to be moved.
Same way in business. Trade is a
stone. The funny thing is that the
! LIGHTER it gets, the harder it is TO
| move. 1t can be moved, though.
