THE SESSION ENDED.
The Appropriation Bill Passed But
Conference Was Necessary to
Settle Differences.

The special session of the Oregon leg
islature came to an END Saturday even
ing at $3.50 O'Clock.
The general appropriation bill was
the subject of sharp contention, and
for time the prospect seemed good for
a deadlock upon it.
At this stage a conference committee
was agreed upon, and it took up the
matter of harmonizing the differences
so as to be acceptable to the two
houses. After more than an hour OF
hard work the committee. reported and
the report was adopted in both houses
without debate or question.
By the amendments of the conference
committee, $3.50 were added to the
appropriations in sundry small items,
concerning which there was no dispute,
and $32, ,237.75 was stricken out, leav-
ing the total of the bill about $l,222,-
900. This is about 800, 000 less than
the appropriation bill passed in 1895,
and there is included in it a large
amount of interest and all the expenses
of the attempted session of 1897, in
cluding full pay for the members.
One section was added to the bill di-
recting that the state printer should
not hereafter print for the agricultural
societies, etc, TO an extent that would
cost more than the appropriations
should previously have been made for
the purpose,

DR.. Thomas F. Rumbold, in a paper
on this subject, attributes the nervous
prostration commonly attributed TO
"overwork' to chronic nasal in1amma-
ton, the most potent and frequent fac
tor in the production of which he as
serts to be the result of excuses OF
alcohol, tobacco, and colds" induced
thereby. These practices. he says, in
crease the congestion of the nasal mu-
cous membrane, producing a tendency
to colds, causing vascular paresis,
which, commencing at the periphery,
gradually travels to the brain vascular
system. and the author holds that this
disturbance of the cerebral circulation
is the real reason of the irritability OF
temper. inability to hold the mind con-
tinuoasly on definite subject, sleep
lessness, forgetfulness, desire for
change and excitement, accompanied
by physical exhaustion and loss of a9l-
bition, which are commonly attributed
by the physician to the continuous ap-
plication of the mind to business and
professional duties

According to the British Dairy
Farmer, M Dancel principal of one
of the dairy schools in France, reports
feet of the quantity of water cows
drink upon quantity and quality of
milk. He says that. by inducing cows
to drink more water, the quantity of
milk yielded can be increased without
injuring its quality. He asserts that
the amount of milk is proportional to
the quantity of the water drunk In
experimenting upon cows fed in the
stall with dry fodder that gave only
9 to IL quarts of milk day when this
dry food was moistened with from Is
to % quarts of water daily, their yield
of milk was increased up to II to IA
quarts a day. Besides this water taken
with the food, the cows were allowed
to drink the same as before, and their
thirst was excited by adding a little
salt to the fodder. The milk was of
good quality, and the amount of butter
satisfactory. He found, by series of
observations, that the quantity of wa
lci HdDiludiiJ VI uhh ~ cdCu COW was
a criterion to Judge Of the quantity Of
milk that she would yield. A COW that
does not drink as much as II quarts
of water day is poor mixer, giving
only 51a to Z quarts day; but all
COWS which drink as much a. so
quarts of water daily gave from IS to
23 quarts of milk daily. He believes
the amount of water drunk by a COW
is a test of her value as a mixer.

ugly, except when they are gracefully

sharp angle may be stylish, but it is
not graceful, and crossing the arms
over the chest is unlovely to a degree.
Watch closely the next woman whom

ugly curve of the back and the forward

may look jaunty and attractive when
they carry their hands in their jacket

does satisfy the eye you will see scores

The two tone seal in wax on an en-
velope made to match the two tone
monogram on the paper is mystery to
any one not in the secret. For instance
a silver monogram and raised orna-
mentation on a blue background is
easily duplicated in the seal. The
background is of wax to match the
background of the monogram. When
ready to seal the envelope dip the seal
in the oil and wipe it quite dry, except
the engraving, where the oil remains.
Then dip the oily seal into the silver
powder and brush across the seal, leav-
ing no silver except in those same in
dentations of the engraved monogram.
Melt the wax and drop it on to the
proper place and seal as usual. The oil
will have taken up the silver powder
