SPRING HILL.

SPRING HILL, Dec. H-Rev. Sam Sing
Ruah, a student of Theological Depart.
ment Of Cumberland University,
lectured Sunday night to very large
crowd at the G. p. Church. Mr.. Sing
Quah's former home was Canton,
China; consequently, very great inter
est was manifested by the attendants of
the lecture, which was very instructive.
If more of our missionary money were
used in assisting those who come here
to be educated, and then return them to
their former homes, very much more
good would be accomplished. This
Chinaman has been in America eight
years, spending five or these years at
Cumberland University; so in one or
two years he will be able to return to
his own people and address them with
the sweet Gospel truths of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
On next Sunday afternoon a nice pro-
gram-a Christmas song service-will
be rendered by the Junior Christian
Endeavorers.

Americas Rarest Owl.

A specimen of the rarest owl in
America was obtained by Henry H..
Hindshaw, curator of the University
of Washington's museum, on his re-
cent natural history expedition to
Eastern Washington. The first and
only other specimen Of this owl was
was taken in Idaho in 1898. 1t was
cent to DR.. G. Hart Merriam, of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, who pronounced it distinct
geographical variety of Megasoops
flammeola. He thereupon described
it as q variety new to science, and
called it Megascops Idohoensis. This
only specimens of the new variety is a
male. On May 25 Mr.. Hindshaw saw
a strange little owl on Snake river
about twenty-five miles from its mouth
and after great difficulty secured it.
Now it appears that it is female OF
this rarest of American owls. Its
common name is the Idaho dwarf
screech owl. Megascops fammeola,
the type of this owl, is Mexican
species, and found only occasionally
in Colorado and New Mexico. This
little owl is one of the finest speci'
mems obtained by the University o.
Washington collectors in years.

AN appropriate song for Fourth-of-
July celebrations appears in the July
Review OF Reviews under the caption
"Stand by the FlagW The story of
the song is told in the Review by Mai.
Marshal Fl. Bright, of Christian
Work, who is entitled to credit for it's
preservation and revival. 1t seems that
the words were written by Mr.. John
N. Wilder and recited at a patriotic
meeting held in Albany, N. Y, July 4,
1858. During the Civil War the song
was repeatedly sung to the familiar
old air, "Cheer b $ Cheer" but Mai.
Bright has since composed music es-
pecially for the ode, and this music is
published, with the words, in the Re-
view. The author of the song, Mr..
Wilder, died ut Albany jnst eleven
days after the recital of his poem.
His cameo portrait is reproduced by
the Review, through the kindness of
his daughter, Mrs. Malde Wilder
Goodwin, author of "rhe Colonial
Cavalier" I'D lily Madison," and other
works of historical interest. The first
lines of the song ran as follows:
Stand by the Flagl IS Stars Ike meteors gleam-
ing,
Have lighted Arctic icehfgs. southern seas,
And shone responsive 10 the stormy beaming
OF old Arcturus aud the Pleiades.

Just What's Needed

Exclaims thousands Of people who
have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla at this
season of the year, and who have
noted the success OF the medicine in
giving them relief from that tired
feeling, waning appetite and state of
extreme exhaustion after the close
confinement of long winter season,
the busy time attendant upon a large
and pressing business during the
spring months and with vacation time
vet some weeks distant. It is then
that the building up powers of Hoods
Sarsaparilla are fully appreciated. It.
seems perfectly adapted to overcome
that prostration caused by change of
season, climate or life, and while it
tones and sustains the system, it puri-
fies and vitalizes the blood.

Free Trade in Lumber.

The q. S. district court of Vermont
has reversed the former rulings in re-
gard to what constitutes dressed lum-
Der, and practically admits all lumber
from the Canadas to the United States
tree, without any compensating fea-
lures. Already great deal of lumber
is finding its way into the Atlantic
states and 100000 feet of Canadian
lumber was shipped to California in
1898, in direct competition with the
Puget Sound product. Speaking of
this the Pacific Lumber Journal says:
"The above is not large showing,
but there can be no doubt that if the
manufacturers of lumber in British
Columbia were sure of permanent free
trade they would establish yards in
California and therefore cut seriously
into the trade of the big mill firms on
this side of the line. But they arc
not. Every presidential election, they
lear, may reverse the order of things
md change the tariff entirely, AS
lar as prices are concerned, there is no
lear, as far as the cargo trade at least
is concerned, so long as the Central
Lumber Co. is in existence, but there
is fear as to rail prices. The territory
is limited at present, but under the
decision the field will be widened, and
IN order to gain new customers prices
will of necessity be sacrificed to some
"xtent. In fact, some very low quo
tations have already been made to
Puget Sound dealers, and good deal
# rough cedar has found its way here.
Another interesting item to British
Columbia is the agitations anent free
trade between the British colonies.
We confess we are surprised that this
proposition hasn't been pushed before,
but if it is accomplished the lumber
men OF Washington and Oregon will
lose the Australian trade, which is the
the largest foreign market we have at
present"

Sour Sap.

Ihere are many reports of sour SAL
this season in Washington and Ore
gon. In view of this fact the Rura,
Northwest makes the follow ing timely
extract from the last report of the
California Experimental Station:
Sour sap is a disease due to num-
Der OF bacteria. Like the gum disease
OF the orange, the organisms are not
properly parasites, but rather decay.
producing forms which from peculiar
conditions have become parasitic.
Two forms of sour sap may be dis
tlngulshed-the root and the top sour
ing. The former commonly follows
standing water, and is particularly
common in hollow lined with hard
pan. The latter Is most abundant in
spring, and follows late severe frosts.
"Mr. P. HI. Atkinson, of Sebasto-
pool, Sonoma County april Is, 1S94),
writes in reference to the disease in
his prune orchard: The trees recent
ly budded out some OF them bloomed
and about 20 to % percent began to
wilt and dies - you will notice
that there is quite a sour smell. !
have had one or two cases in former
years, but nothing like the wholesale
destruction now going ON. People
here call it sour sap, but do not know
what is the cause of it, nor what
remedy to adopt. Ii the tree is cut
back (nearly all the top being taken
Off it sometimes revives; put gener-
ally dies altogether lat other times the
top dies and the .Myrobolan root sends
up suckers. The trees affected are in
all kinds of positions. = & / have
had the same thing happen to peach
es, but not to any extent
"When the disease is noticed the
tree is generally beyond help, though
it sometimes revives. The treatment
if on the roots, is drainage of the soil
if above ground, severe pruning.

Last summer one of our grand child

Last summer one of our grand child
rem was sick with severe bowel
trouble. Our doctors remedies had
failed, then we tried Chamberlain 8
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which gave very speedy relief. We re-
gard it as the best medicine ever put
on the market for bowel complaints.

cine ever put on the market for dy-
sentery, summer complaint, collie and

ed directions are followed. Many
mothers have expressed their sincere
gratitude for the cures it has effected.

IT is easier to do well, as it is easier
to do i'll, when we have the habit of
so doing, But the habit of i'll doing
requires less effort than the habit of
well doing. Even without effort We
fall naturally into the way of being
wrong and doing wrong. Going down
hill is always the easiest way of going.
But well doing revuires effort; for it is
uphill work. AS old says: "Tbe
constant habit of well doing is not
gotten without the custom of doing
we'll; neither can virtue be made per-
feet but by the manifold works of vir
tue often practiced.-Trade.

j. r.. Libby.

The logical reasoning of many Port
land ladies has been that at some time
before J. r. Libby moved into his new
Baxter Block store he would have one
grand mark down sale Of Dress Goods.
That, rather than move these goods to
the new store he would make great
sacrifice sale and close them out remark
ably cheap, and many have delayed their
Dress Goods buying until that event was
announced.
The result has proved tleir shrewdness,
for the looked for announcement is In
our advertising columns. The goods are
classified into seven classes, at seven
prices and are conveniently arranged on

THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY
Of DIR. Fenn'S Passionate at High st.
Church.

Historical Sermon by DIR. Fenn-Addresses
by the Different Portland Pastors
Fine Music by the Choir.
At High Street Congregational church
on Sunday occurred exercises in honor of
the thirtieth anniversary of Rev. William
H. Fem, D. D. There were services in
the forenoon, afternoon and evening, the
latter being participated in by several
clergymen of the city, pastors Of sister
churches.
An interested and sympathetic oongre-
CATION gathered Sunday morning to
greet the honored pastor whose presence
in the same pulpit had to many of them
been one of the earliest memories of
childhood. DR.. Fem came here in 1866,
young man of Huguenot ancestry,
whose childhood had been passed in the
South, although his late training had
been at Yale. It would hardly be ex-
pected that young man coming from
that portion of the South most radically
opposed to the ideas OF New England
would in 1866 have been able to lay in

exercises of Sunday, told some of the rea-
sons for DR.. Fenn's long success in this
community. The programme of the fore
