The Roseburg Review sets up a
cry that Pennoyer is about to cap
ture the leadership of the demo-
cratic party of the state, and vigor-
ously protests against the threat
ened capture. The Review may be
right or it may be wrong in its sur
misses of what Penuoyer's iuten-
tons are. Whether he wishes for
more political honors or moi we do
not know, but we do know that
Pennoyer is a power in the political
field of Oregon, and we consider it
very poor policy to raise a fight in
the reform ranks until there is
something tangible to raise a fight
over.

To Prohit Footbindine.

Women's craving for small foot has
run mad in China, and they willingly
submit themselves to tortures as hor-
ribie as any to which prisoners in the
Jalls are subjected rather than be ex-
posed to ridicule because their feet are
large.
Now the custom is assaulted from a
powerful source-from a group of pro-
gfessive scholars, which the Chinese
people hold in the greatest reverence.
The anti-foot binding agitation, which
is now spreading all over China, was
recently started by a prominent mem
Der Of the Chinese litterati in Suifu,
which is great city Of Szechuan.
The leader Of the movement is Chon,
a literary graduate and a scholar of
wealth and influence. While the liter

Saved Dy IFS Song.

A little thistle bird in Monmouth,
Me-. owes it's life to it's perseverance
and habit of singing while in TROUBLE.
A man in that village had heard the
small songsters persistent notes near
his window for nearly a month, and at
last called the attention of friend,
who makes a study of birds and their
ways, to it's song. This friend soon
made the discovery that the bird was a
prisoner to it's nest. A ladder was
brought, and the bird and nest were
taken down and examined. One leg of
the little sufferer had become ensnarled
in the wool with which the nest was
lined, and it was only after twenty
minutes Of painstaking effort with
sharp instruments that the limb was
losed from the snarl This done, the
spectators were surprised to see birdie
fly away, apparently as we'll as though
never tied to nearby apple tree. The
birds parents. or some other of it's
feathered friends, had kept it supplied
with food during it's Imprisonment.

at the appearance of large posters on
all the dead walls containing an appeal
to educated Chinese to abandon the tor
ture Of their young daughters by foot
binding.
1t contained many quotations from
Confucius, but it's main point was di-
rected to the edict of Emperor Shun
Chih in 1862, pronouncing the binding
of girls feet to be illegal. Chon declar-
ed that this edict had been obeyed for
a time and then ignored.
He describes the tortures which
young Chinese girls Of the better class
are forced to endure, and the misery
and tears that are their portion for
months and years. Even the worst con-
victs, he says, are never called upon to
endure what foolish custom imposes
upon the tender frame offyoung girls,
who are beloved by their fathers.
The deformity is produced in the feet
of young Chinese girls by narrow cot
ton bandages about three yards long.
These are applied when the girl is 6
years old. One end Of the strip is
placed beneath the instep and then car
ried over the four small toes, drawing
them down beneath the foot.
Another twist draws the heel and
great toe nearer together, making an
indentation beneath the sole. When all
the cloth has been used the end is firm
ly sewed down and the feet are left for
a week or two in that condition. Clean
bandages are now and then put on, but
the change has to be rapidly effected or
blood begins to circulate in the be-
numbed feet and the agony becomes
unbearable

Manufactured Ice.

The question "can manufactured ice
be called artificial?" is one which the
dictionary makers must lend assistance
in solving. The word artificial, accord
ing to the dictionaries, means mot nat
ural," made by art or skill" Accord
ing to this explanation, manufactured
ice may certainly be termed artificial,
although, as a, matter of fact, it is just
as truly ice when frozen in a factory
by chemical means as when formed by
the processes of nature on the surface
of lake or river.

ere Old yellow Almanac"

When Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote the

vibrated in thousands of hearts. For
Ayers Almanac, "The Old Yellow Alma
nae" of the poem, is intimately associated
with the days and deeds Of large part OF

of the population this general statement
may include can be gathered from the
fact that the yearly issue of Ayers Al
manac is from 100000 to 25,O0O,OOO

tons and in some eighteen languages, in
Guiding, besides English, Spanish, Portu-

Norwegian, Bohemian, Welch, Italian,
French etc. The old Style almanac is

first appeared. But there are almanacs

in the letters, referred to the almanac de-
