edly be instructive, enjoyable and mirth-
provoking. Prof. McEwen has displayed
his powers in nearly all the principal
cities of America, and In no place has
he failed in having crowded houses.
Prof. McEwen has hundreds of testi-
monials from leading professional men
all over the country. and there is little
doubt that one coming with such rec
concentrations can be other than fret
class artist in his especial line. During
the time that he performed in Reeds
opera house in Salem and Cordray's in
Portland, the press and the people went
wild over him, and there is little doubt
that the same will be the case in our
city. His performances are genuine,
clean, elevating and wonderful, and are
worthy of our very best patronage.

Furnishings of a Redroonn That May

Furnishings of BEDROOM That May
BE Packed in n BOx.
The old saying about living in band
box may come to be reality befort an
other decade, for now the complete
furnishings of a sleeping or sitting
room may be packed in a box six feet
long by two and one-half wide and a
little more than two feet in depth. A
clever Englishman is the creator of
this folding furniture. With it persons
travelling will not be obliged to lament
the absence of their own beds and bed
ding, but may carry sRch things with
them as personal baggage.
One of these boxes contains wash
stand with tiled back and shelves un-
derneath, q dressing bureau with a
swinging mirror, cane-seated chair
aud one rug upholstered chair, together
with bed, bedding. draperies. toilet
set, and a wardrobe of comfortable
size. This furniture is made of we'll
seasoned hard wood. Each part fits
into it's place and fastens without the
aid of nails or screws. In the dressing
bureau drawers. for example, the bot
tom is drawn out and the sides fold to
gether. What a boon this furniture
will be for frequent movers who are
never satisfied with one place for any
length of time, while the camper out
may carry his home with him.

The strength which comes to us from
eating nourishing food is better than
stimulation, because it is ne1O strength.
The health which belongs to strong
body. well nourished by proper TODD
(properly digested,. is the only health
that is lasting.
The difference between Shaker DiSes
tive Cordial and other medicines isSsim-
ply that it helps nature to make
strength. 1t does not profess to cure
sickness, except as that sickness is re-
suit of weakness caused by food not
properly digested.
Shaker Digestive Cordial will relieve
the pangs of indigestion, and make thin,
sick, weak people as we'll as if their
stomachs had never been out of order.
It is gentle aid to the digestion o.
natures strength maker, food.

ENGLISH GOOD ENOUGH. +
There Is seldom Any Reason for Em-
plOying Foreign Words.


plOying Foreign Words.
Is there any reason for using for
eign language when the idea can be ex-
pressed with equal clearness, brevity,
and force in our own Anglo-Saxon? Is
there any sense in saying that a man
has 81 900 per annum when we mean
81 900 year? Why should we say that
the people of the United States drink
on an average every year so many gall
Ions of distilled spirits per capita when
may say, a head-we may add that the
ing by heads. If we are to use Latin in
the premises, we should consult cor
rectness and say per caput.
What earthly reason for calling a
popular hymn and tune book ''Laudes
Domini?" 1t sometimes happens that
there are ideas conveyed by a foreign
word which hardly have an equivalent
in English. In these cases it is perhaps
permissible to borrow the foreign word
or phrase. For example, we possibly
have no single word which is the equiva-
lent of the French persifage. That,
however, has been adopted into our
dictionaries and may be considered an
English word of French parentage.
But does mauvis honte express any
thing not conveyed by false shame
And is sang froid anything more than
cool blood?
The use of foreign words and SEN
tences is peculiarly inappropriate in
inscriptions which are to be read by the
plain people. When the friends of the
departed DR.. Goldsmith appended their
signatures to a round robin begging
that the epitaph upon the poet might
be in English, and when the car of
literature, with wonted absolutism,
said: "An English inscription would be
disgrace to Westminster abbey" he
was wrong, as positive people are very
apt to be. Ofthe millions who have read
with delight "The Traveller" and the
Deserted Village" and ''The Vicar of
Wakefield how small fraction of one
per cent. are those who know aught of
any language but English?
When the fathers and mothers, the
sisters and sons of the men who died
in the war for liberty and union read,
with dimmed eyes, upon the monument
erected by grateful countrymen the
story of the virtues and sufferings of
their heroes, it is hard that they should
be confronted by Latin sentence which
reminds them of their ignorance of
classic tongues. It is possibly well
enough to have Latin Or Greek in
scription in Memorial hall of Harvard
university, for those who read it can
look as If they understood it, but what
reason for putting over the memorial
of Col Shaw and his black soldiers the
Latin motto of the Cincinnati, which
mocks his surviving comrades and sons
of those who fell at Fort Wagner with
their enforced illiteracy? AS if to add
to the infelicfty of the situation,
scholars tell us that the inscription is
not even good Latin. "Reiquerunt
omnia conservare rempublicam" should
be 'ut conservarent rempublicam.' The
neighboring monument on the common
erected by the state of Massachusetts,
to the heroes OF the war, bears, f1ttingly
an inscription that is English through.

HOW TO Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid OF some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know OF

than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
We have used it quite extensively and il
has always given entire satisfaction

The Growth of the Corset-Corsets are not on inve ntion of modern days as many people fancy, but were adopted by the ancient Greeks and Romans, if in a slightly different style than those of the present period We hear of Mark An tony wearing corsage, to repress his tendency to stoutness, for in those days men wore them as we'll as women. The name "corse tus" began to be used about the time of the Renaissance, and Gather inc de Medici is accerdited with the first introduction of whalebone. From that period until the French revolution the stiffest corsets were worn, but under the empire a change was effected and waists began to assume more natural proportions. As in all other customs, the use became abused for aw file, until the novelty wore off, and the happy me- dium was reached, which, fortunately, prevails at the present moment.
