M. A. Stream Drowned.

Marshfield, Or, Aug. l5-H. Built
man, of the Umpqua life.saving station,
came to town early this morning and
brought the sad intelligence of the
drowning of M. A. Stream, keeper of the
Umpqua lighthouse, yesterday afternoon.
He is an excellent swimmer, and went
out through the breakers. After diving
through the fret breaker, he was heard
to cry for help. 1t was on the open sea
beach, and it was impossible to render
any assistance before he was carried off
ehore by the undertow. He was accus-
toned to going in swimming in the surf,
and the theory advanced is that he was
taken with cramps. He had been in the
service for thirteen years, and was 46
years OF age. He was brother OF Cap
tain AL Stream. He was member of the
Maccabees, and also carried life insur-
ance amounting to about $4,000. He leaves
awidow and Ave children.

But don't see any. Who are

But I don't see any. Who are
theya"
well, said the conductor, speaking
slowly, as If he were reckoning them up
by process of recollection, 'sthere's
the telegraph operator, the booking
clerk, the cloak-room clerk, the signal
man, the storekeeper, the accident in
surance agent, the postmaster, and one
or two other officials. You'll find 'em
inside the station"
That isn't so bad" the traveller
thought, and as the train started he en-
tered the door. The station was dimly
lighted, with no one in sight but
sandy-haired man at the telegraph in
strument.
Where are the others9" asked the
traveller.
What others2" answered the tele-
graph operator.
why, the cloak-room man, the book
ing clerk, the postmaster and the rest"
The man began to grin
'Oh, it is that conductor again." he
said.
well, where are they2" repeated the
traveller, with. some asperity.
The sandy-ha red man tapped him
self on the chest.
"Them's me-" he said "Come in and
sit with us"
And the traveller, appreciating the
joke-a sort of e pluribus unum re-
versed, accepted the invitation, and
found himself in pretty good company.
"In that country once known as the
Great American Desert embracing a
portion of Texas and Arizona, there are
no odors," said citizen Of Dallas to a
Cincinnati Enquirer reporter. saThere
luscious grapes and many other fruits
grow, especially near the cross timber
country, but there is no perfume; wild
flowers have no smell, and carcasses of
dead animals, which in dry seasons are
very plentiful, emit no odor. 1t was
always supposed TO be treeless plain,
upon which no plant could grow or
breathing thing could live, but large
part OF tits now successfully cultivated,
and but for the rarity of the atmos-
phere, causing the popularity / have
named, and the mirages, which are
aven more perfect than in the Desert of
Sahara, no one would look upon it as a
barren country now. Another singu-
lar feature common to the desert land
is that objects at great distance APP
pear greatly magnified. A few scraggy
mesquite bushes will look like noble
forest; stakes driven into the ground
will seem like telegraph poles"

pavements are a failure, while Constan-

A sARsER SHOP SURPRISE.
A Fsshionably Dressed Young Lady Non-
ohalantly Takea n ahava

n rashlohaDIy dressed Young Lady Nom
ohalantly Takes Shave.
But one of the dozen chairs in pop
ular Cincinnati barber shop was vacant
about ten o'clock the other morning,
when fashionably dressed young
woman entered, removed her wrap,
veil and hat, handed them to the open
mouthed boy, walked to the vacant
chair, sat down in it, threw her head
back on the padded rest, and placed
her daintily shod feet on the foot
bench.
Bangs trimmed9" asked the bar
ber.
'Nope, shavep she said, gazing COM
posedly at the ceiling.
"HuhI" grunted the wonder-stricken
barber.
Shave" !" she repeated, without wink
ing, "here and here" pointing to her
upper lip and to the skin in front of
her ears.
The barber, says the Tribune, keep
ing his eyes on her all the time, tucked
towel under her chin, lathered the
places she had indicated, stropped the
razor and went to work. A few strokes
and it was over, and when her face
had been washed and powdered, she
left the chair, allowed the boy to put
on her wrap, adjusted her hat and veil
with much deliberation, and, throwing
a half dollar on the cashiers counter,
walked out.
The effect of this visit on the other
BARRIERS and their victims was to cause
the BARRIERS to forget, for the first time
in their lives, to tell the victims that
they needed shampoos, and the victims
to fail to notice the cuts in their faces
when the lady said shave"
The barber who shaved the pretty
lady, when he recovered, said there
was fine growth of hair on her face,
just enough when it got long to give
the skin a Slightly dark hue.
"She'd been there before" he added.
