SOME TYPICAL. DALLEsrTEs
Old, Middle ged and Young Folks, and
ALI the Right Sort.

The Dalles, compared to Eastern
towns, is not yet old. yet it has history
or rather is part of the history of the
coast. In the earliest days an Indian
trading poiut, then the supply town for
the vast mining regions of Southern
Oregon. Always great shipping point,
and of late years depending for its steady
prosperity on the products shipped out,
and the merchandise shipped in and di-
vided among the four or five counties
tributary TO her. Consequent on her
favorable situation, there are more we'll
to do men who here laid the foundation
of their fortunes, than any other town of
its size on the coast can show. Many
have gone away, had gone before our
time, and many have gone oyer to the
majority, but of those here, The Dalles
may well fell proud. They are of that
energetic, thrifty, industrious class,
who saw their opportunities and took
advantage of them. We venture to
name few. aud point them out as
examples worthy of the consideration of
the generation growing up, as showing
what may be accomplished by thrift
and application, and pointing out the
fact also, that all these men started here
with very small meant, and many of
them with nothing but stout hearts and
willing hands.

For Women Who Work.

| A project which will interest women
everywhere Is being started in New
York and the Herald tells about 1t. 1t
is to be entitled 1.-The Woman's Trust"
and the object Of those interested in it
| is to collect funds for the purpose Of
building a home for workingwomen Of
good reputation who may at times be
in need Of shelter and home. 1t is
proposed to raise this money by public
subscriptions and also to ask Congress
to contribute funds. 1t is pointed out
that Congress has frequently appropri-
ated money for the erection and sup
port of soldiers and sailors homes, and
it is maintained that there is no valid
reason why Congress should not ap-
prOpriate money for the support of
needy women, many Of whom may be-
come or already are the mothers Of
soldiers and sailors.
The building, which 1t is proposed to
erect will occupy whole block and
will be Of approved architecture, most
probably in the Moorish style. On the
first floor there will be stores and an
arcade. There will be a court yard in
the centre and four entrances, over
which are to be inscribed the follow
ing lines, which the Athenians former
ly placed over their gates:-''We wish
ed, we saw, we loved and we adored."
The building will consist of sixteen
stories of about one thousand rooms.
The rooms will be divided into suites
and will as rule be furnished as par
lors with folding beds. The second
floor will contain dining room for the
guests, and n separate restaurant for
outsiders. There will also be reading
rooms, class and concert rooms, where
organ and other recitals can be given
and where all the minor crafts can be
taught to women. Spacious grounds
will surround the home and will be laid
out in an appropriate manner.
The building will be run on the CO.
operative system, and is intended only
for self-supporting women, who will be
charged the nominal sum of SO a week,
in return for which they will obtain not
only board and lodgings, but also all
the advantages Of reading and music
rooms. No restraint will be placed
upon the inmates, as 1t is desired to
make them feel fhorouOhIv at homo

Surgery In the Middle Ages.

In the middle Of the twelfth century
priests were the only doctors. BY an
edict of the council of Tours, surgery
was separated from medicine, and the
practice of the former forbidden to the
clergy. The latter then employed their
BARRIERS to perform surgical operations
This arose from the fact of the monks
having their heads shaved frequently,
and observing the dexterity acquired
by the BARRIERS in the use Of edge tools.
The knights Of the razor, from cupping
and bleeding. passed on to tooth-draw-
ing, and finally to other operations re-
curing skill and deftness, II not much
knowledge. They knew practically
nothing OF anatomy. 1t Is said surgery
was denied by the clergy by canon OF
the church which forbade them to shed
blood. This was considered the dark
age OF medicine, and somber, indeed, 1t
must have been to the worthy citizen
who, perhaps, placing himself in the
hands of the barber for relief, might,
Mt the same time that he was getting rid
Of a tumor, also part company with his
head.

A woman juror is the latest novelty
In Denver Col. Mrs. Nj. ID. Warren,
who was accidentally drawn to serve
because she never uses her full name,
was dismissed by the Judge when he
discovered her to be a woman. Mrs.
Warren, however, who is said to be
young and attractive, and not without a
good deal Of determination, insisted
upon her legal rights and was finally
sworn In. The case was of little i'm
portance, but the jury, including Mrs.
Warren, who had been CALAMITY ap-
pointed forewoman. dellberated all
night and had to be marched out to
breakfast In body In the morning.
The forewoman's report, upon inquiry
from the Judge, was that no verdict
had been agreed upon, and that, fur
thermore, the jury was all mixed up
over the evidence and would not agree
in month. The jury was accordingly
discharged, and yet Mrs. Warren
emerged from the court with an air of
positive triumph. She felt that, how
ever much time had been wasted,
woman on jury was an excellent
thing, and that IL all-night judicial de-
alterations became an established fact,
wOman's influence on the law would
soon become beautifully obvious.

A Harvest of the Sea.

along the northwest coast of Ireland,
on the border of the Atlantic, dwells a
hardy race of men whose chief occupa-
ton, when not engaged in fishing, con-
sists In the manufacture Of "kelp."
This is of great commercial import
ance, as from it is obtained nearly all
our iOdine-a body Of vast use In medi-
cine.
During the winter months the kelp-
burners set out in their frail little
"curraghs' (small canoe-like boats,
about twelve feet long, made Of can
vas) and, proceeding along the coast,
fill the boats with the seaweed, from
which the kelp is made. In this way
are assisted by the women, who, bare
headed and shOeless, take their turns
regularly at the oars, and are almost
as expert at il as the men.
After a storm is the time selected for
obtaining the seaweed, as by the force
Of the waves it has been torn up from
its bed, and is cast in along the shore in
large quantities.
Sometimes, in these excursions, the
boatmen come across valuable treas
ure-trove, and occasionally, alas!
mangled corpse cast in from some ill
fated vessel.
When the boats are laden the sea-
weed Is brought to a small creek, and
there placed In heaps out of the reach
Of the tide. From this it is carried in
creels on the backs of men and women
to point further inland, where it has
to undergo process Of drying.
The drying consists in exposing II to
the sun and wind, and the better to do
this, they have rows of large stones
laid, about twenty yards in length and
a few feet in height. Along the tops Of
these they scatter the seaweed.
The drying takes months, 50 that
spring is well advanced ere 1t Is ready
for burning. This does not matter, how
ever, as owing to the fuel-the peat or
turf got from the boys at hand-not
being yet cut and dried Tor Twin" as it's
termed) 1t is summer before the burn
ing in the kilns can commence.
The kiln is deep trench dug in the
ground. Alternate layers of turf and
seaweed are laid In this till fun, and
the whole is kept burning for about
three weeks, until 1t cakes together in
large black mass resembling coke,
but much more solid and heavier. This
IL the "kelp."
1t Is then broken into blocks about
fourteen inches square, and brought by
boat to the villages, where 1t Is sold, to
be shipped to more profitable markets.

The Bumboat Woman Supplies the Jack
Tar with luxuvios'


Tar with Luxuviss-
II Is not likely that TO the mind Of
the average man, as he looks at the
cruisers OF the White Squadron lying
in the Bay on Tompkinsville and sees
the decks alive with hundreds OF
hearty, healthy bluejackets, the ques-
ton would be suggested az to how the
Inhabitants Of these great floating
creatures are fed. Those who visit the
ships care only for the p0mp and dis
play Of things martial and warlike.
The vessels themselves, their mysteri-
Gus and complicated interiors and ma
chinery are far more interesting to the
generality of mankind than the in
terror of the sailor and the fuel that
keeps him running.
There are on the coast certain regu-
lar naval stations where the vessels
spend large portion of their time
when in home waters. At each Of
these ports the Navy Department has
standing contracts with certain firms
to supply food. This concern stands
ready to supply meat, that one yege-
tables, another groceries, as soon as a
ship arrives In port. The ships pay
master notifies the feet paymaster
what is needed In particular vessel,
and the feet paymaster sends the or
ders to the firms. Thereafter each day
the paymasters send In their orders for
supplies. If the feet or a particular
fntn N 10 mn n
regular naval station, he at once takes
bids for food supplies and makes his
contracts accordingly.
Every man on board an American
man-o'-war receives his days rations
or 80 cents In lieu of them. The OFF,
GERS, Of course, generally draw their
80 cents and have their stewards pur-
chase for them special supplies. The
sailors, however, form In messes, gen.
orally Of fifteen or twenty men, one Of
whom acts as steward. About one
half Of the men draw ships ratiOns
and the other the 80 cents per man,
which is spent in extras for the whole
mess. With this money, and few
dollars extra per man each month,
they purchase when in port some lux
uries, such as butter, sugar, radishes,
pickles and pastry.
When the vessel goes to sea the gov
eminent stocks her with canned and
sailed meats, canned vegetables, bis
cults and such foods, and in addition
each mess takes out its supply of ex-
tras.
An important factor In the sailors
comfort is the bumboat woman. Ev-
cry one of the cruisers now lying at
has it's own bumboat
woman. She alone has the privilege
of boarding the vessel and selling her
wares to the crew. This is valuable
privilege and one usually given to the
wives or widows Of sailors. When a
vessel goes on duty the commander ap-
points woman to manage the bum
boat This woman usually follows the
vessel from port to port and daily Wis
its it with her wares. She carries pies
and pastry, beer. cigars, cigarettes and
tobacco, and such odds and ends as do
not come under the supervision of the
and his general manager,
the paymaster's yeoman.
The bumboat woman loads her stock
in a boat, hired or kept for the pur-
pose, and visits the ship during the
mess hours. At those times and those
alone she is allowed to go to and fro
among the crew selling her wares.-

Armies and Debt. COMPARED.

According to figures recently shown
by the Peace Society Of England the
increase in the cost of armies during
the last thirty years has been equalled
by the increase in national debts. The
cost Of European armies in 1860 was
f116,0O0,OO0, and 1t increased to $780,
100000 In 1896. In 1872 the debts Of
European countries amounted to Ca

NEVER TOO lArE.


There Ia good and bad 10 the waysids
inns
On the highways OF our lives
And man can never be free from sins
No matter how hard he strives;
Yet even when down distinctions
grade
Our thorny pathways trend,
In spite OF a thousand errors made
1T is never too late to mend"
There are crosses heavy for men to
bear,
And passions to conquer too;
There are joys and woes that each must
Before the journey is through.
But men may be poor for honor's sake,
And truth and right defend,
And hope will never this promise break;
at is never too late to mend"
'Tis never too late for noble deed,
For, blessed by the angels tears,
IL plants In the breast Of men a seed
That will grow in after years;
A word of kindness, hope and cheer
Will always comfort lend;
We must live for love and Danish fear
1T is never too late to mend"
1t is never too late to mend, my lad,
No matter what people say,
And no mans nature is wholly bad,
Even If old and gray;
And in our journey toward the grave,
Until we reach the end,
There is time to change and time to
save
1T is never too late to mend"
