Al SALEM CHURCHES.
Near y every Salem church was
crowed to the doors Christmas night.
The small boy was there and so was
the small girl, and the larger ones, and
the older ones, and all got bag of
candy or a brick of popcorn. Itwas a
hard times Chsistmas, but none the
less a merry one. Then free enter
tainments left no one to attend the
theaters.
Mr.. and Mrs. Santa Claus occupied
the throne at ST. Paul'S Episcopal
church, Mrs. Santa Claus found a
splendid representative in Mrs. w. B.
Magnan, who claimed as much atten-
tion as Santa Claus himself. The
Sunday school children then marched
up to the large tree, dropped their
mite on the plate, the amount to be
donated to the Portland Good Sama-
ritan hospital.
A musical and literary program was
carried out at the First Christian
church, Thursday evening. Gifts
were distributed among the members
of the Sunday school.
There was no tree at the NJ. e.
church, but Lgood program aud the
cantata "a Good Time With Santa
Claus" by the little ones. The fam.
lily tableau with angles in the back.
ground, and the Brownies work shop
were especially good. Prof. r. A..
Heritage'sang "a Ship on Fire" The
professor had TO respond to double
encore. At the United Evangelical
church Santa Claus entered the
church like burglar through near
window. The bold man actually
talked to the Sunday school children
for fifteen minutes and got away
alive. Presents were distributed
among the members Of the Sunday
school.
At st. Joseph's church Frida
morning High mass was observed and
Rev. ]. S. White delivered short ad-
dress full of happy thoughts sug'
gested by the Christmas time.
A Reception to Mother Goose, "
was given by the members of the Uni
tartan Sunday school in Claiming
hall Friday evening. Mrs. W. e.
Copeland superintended the affair.
Many of the familiar characters
associated with Mother Goose
melodies were represented. Mr.
Fl. B. Holland, the most natural
and royal good-hearted Santa Claus
put in his appearance at the proper
time, paid his respects to Mother
Goose, and distributed candy among
the members of the Sunday school.
Seating capacity at the First Pres
byterian was limited. The rostrun
was filled with merry children full o.
expectancy and the other bursting
contents appropriate to the day. OI
one side was a Christmas tree, on tn
other a we'll constructed fireplace
The exercises were songs choruses ant
recitations. Bulletins were received
from Santa Claus every few moment
announcing his approach to our city
He reached Portland by sleigh, wher
he had to mount wheel and arrives
at the church on time astride his ol
cycle. At the same time hl
and children arrived dow
the chimney. Candy etc. wa
IliberaIly distributed among the men
bers of the school.
Christmas exercises at the Baptls
church had as a main feature in a
appropriate Christmas dialogue,San
Claus arrived in a boat accompanle
by merry group Of sailors. and al
tributed confections among the SUI
day school children.

The pieces Of glass which are to be
made into lenses for spectacles, for mi
croscopes, small telescopes and the like
are first ground into shape roughly by
being held against cast iron tool like
a grindstone. This. Of course, is curved
to give the lens the concavity or con-
vexity desired. From this tool the glass
passes to fine tool, so called, of
similar construction, but made of brass
and covered with fine powder of sui
phate of iron, calcined and ground.
Jewellers call it rouge. Then third
tool, like the second, but covered with
cloth which is thoroughly powdered
with rouge, is used for polishing. After
both sides have been treated thus the
lens is cut to the required shape, oval
or round, with a diamond glass cutter
and steel pinchers, and the edges are
ground smooth OH metal wheels.

"A Ministers Sufferings
FOR Fifteen YEARS REV. JOSEPH
SECklER was I'm TORMENT.
Tried all Sorts Of Medicine but None Afforded Relief.
Somewhat Discouraged but with Faint Hope
He was led 10 try a New Remedy.
Read what He now Says.
From the Gazette, Galena, Illinois.

There is probably no malady to which the
human body is liable so painful or aggravat-
ing as rheumatism. The person so unfortu-
nate as to be afflicted with this insidious dis
ease has no outward indication of inward tor
ment Unlike other disorders it does not
often affect the appetite nor does it in most
instances reduce the flesh.
Often a certain flush in the face accom-
panies the ailment and leads the friends OF
the patient to congratulate him on his
healthy appearance with the familiar ex-
preston, f" how well you look" while he is
suffering the most acute torment. Not often
being the direct cause of fatality, the patient
does not generally receive the sympathy OF
friends as is the case of other complaints.
Often during the day there is marked sub
sidence of the pain andgth sick man is able
to get around with considerable comfort only
to feel the most excruciating agony on retir-
ing and the night is spent in the most pain
full sleeplessness. Sometimes the disease as
sumes a migratory character moving from
limb to limb. This is the most alarming
symptom as it is apt to locate in the vital
parts in which case it is liable to prove fatal.
Under the most favorable. circumstances an
otherwise healthy body may wear out the
disease, but the cases when once seated and
recovery follows are few. Frequently it
does not succumb without leaving the ex-
tremities in q deformed condition and the
hands often remaining permanently out of
shape After seeming convalescence 1t is
liable to return on the slightest provocation.
The application of embrocations and other
outward remedies may, in a slight degree,
alleviate the suffering but are powerless to
give permanent relief.

Bryan. Ito raise the value of every
ounce of silver. here and everywhere.
to 1929" Why do they know this to be
Impossible?
Because this same statement was
made in congress prior to the passage
OF the Sherman act of 1890. But what
are the facts? Speculation forced the
price of silver up from SO cents to $1.19,
but before the year was out it had fall
en- back so far that the average for the
year was only $1.04.
Silver production increased in the
United States alone from 100000
ounces in 1889 to $4,000, 900 ounces in 1890
an increase of 100000 ounces. In
1881 the worlds production of silver
increased 11.075,S47 ounces over that of
1880. and the price fell to an average Of
worlds production increased 1890. S43
ounces over that of 1891, and the aver
age price for the year fell to 81 cents
In 1893 the production again advanced
by 12,940,2 85 ounces, while the average
price was only IS cents, the treasury
purchasing it's last quota at SO cents.
1t must not be forgotten that during
this period (1S90-93) India took a29,-
920,S75 ounces of silver for coinage
alone, thus aiding enormously in sus-
tanning the market, and in spite of this
unprecedented demand for coinage, a
total of 1875 tons of silver in less than
four years. the price, after touching
$1.19 dropped like lead to 60 cents.
After such an experience as this it is
evident that the silver miners cannot an
ticipate any considerable rise in the
value Of their product, for they know
that the offerings of silver to the treas
ury were largely In excess of the guam
tity the secretary was authorized to
purchase every month during which
the Sherman act was in operation. AL
though Mr.. Bryan does not seem to
have heard about 1t, the minis of In
dia have been closed to silver ever
since $685. and that vast market is now
barred and barricaded against the
mine owners. It is quite evident, then,
that rise in the price of their
products is not the object they have in
view. Then what is it? There is a
woodchuck in the hole. Let us see If
we can smoke him out.
In the Anaconda copper mine at Butte,
Mont, and in other localities, they find
large quantities Of silver mingled with
the copper ore. AS the copper alone
