A FEW HINTS.

The eye is window of the soul.
abuse it. Wien should spectacles
first be used, and those in use aban-
| doned?
First-When you are obliged to
move small objects to considerable
distance from the eye, in order to see
them distinctly.
Second-If you find it necessary to
get more light than formerly-as for
instance, to place the light between
the eyes aud the object.
Third-If, on looking at and at
tentively considering a near object, it
becomes confused, and appears to have
kind of mist before it.
Feurth-When the letters of book
or paper run together, and appear to-
have doubled or trebled.
Fifth-If the eyes are fatigued by a
little exercise, so that you are obliged
to shut them from time to time, or re-
ieve them by looking at other objects
Sixth-If black spots or flakes appear
before the eyes or seem floating around
the eyes. ;"
Seventh-If the eyes become infiam-
ed or heated in reading, or any other
exercise.
If you observe any of the above signs
or signals of distress it should claim
your immediate attention. The eye,
like the rest of your body, slowly, but
surely reaches the acme-the meridian
of it's strength ard professionalism
passes into condition of weakness
and decay. When this stage arrives,
we should avail ourselves of the aids
that science and patient research has
thrown in our way at so small an ex-
pense. When you find your old spec
taeles should be replaced by a new
pair, it is always for a stronger pair.
for our eyes never grow younger until
we reach the stage of "second sight"
in the sombre twilight of old age. I'm
mediate attention to the eyes, when
we find they need it, means many years
of sight saved and better vision. 1t is
no more or less than a duty you owe
yourself, for careless delay results
finally in vain regrets and useless
complaints.

Fire Narrowly Ayerted.

About 10 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing aman came out of the restau.
rant, opposite the recorders Office on
Court street, yelling fire. City Mar
shal Lauer and Recorder Sinnott i'm
mediately ran across the street and up
stairs, where they found quite blaze.
They procured few buckets of water,
and put out what, in few minutes
more, would have probably resulted
in a disastrous confagration.
A man had been sleeping in the
room during the night, and on arising
this morning lit cigarette, smoked
a while, and then carelessly tossed the
stub on the floor. A boy going to the
room later on discovered the fire,
and as he supposed, put it out, and
then swept the debris through an
opening in the floor above the ceiling.
There was still spark left and this
caused the second alarm, which, had
it not been for the prompt action of
our city officials would have resulted
in q general call being sent in for the
department. No damage was done to
speak of.

DOLLARS DAILY DESTROYED.
Women Experts Who Can Detect tn,
Dest-Made Counterfeits,

Women Experts Who Can Detect the
Dest-Made Counterfeits.
Every working day in the year Uncle
Sam destroys million dollars; de-
liberately tears up and grinds to pulp
s1,OOO,OoO worth of paper money
genuine bank notes and greenbacks.
A million dollars in one, two, five, ten,
twenty, fifty, one-hundred, and one
thousand-dollar notes are daily punched
full of holes, cut into halves and thrown
into machine that rapidly reduces
them to mass of mushy substance.
Whenever piece of paper money be-
comes soiled or torn it may be presented
to the United States treasury and re-
deemed. Sooner or later every note
that circulates among the people be-
comes unfit for further service, for it
is bound to become dirty or mutilated
by constant handlings and the United
States government stands ready to give
the holder of such a note new note in
exchange for it; or, in other words, the
government will redeem it.
The majority of the clerks employed
in this important department of the
government are women, many of whom
are the most expert money counters and
counterfeit detectors in the world. In
fact, only experts can properly perform
the work that is required; for not only
must the soiled and mutilated money
be accurately and rapidly ccrHted, but
all counterfeit notes must be detected
and thrown out. When we coL<1er
that some counterfeiters can so cleverly
initiate genuinemoney that their spuri-
Gus notes will circulate throughout the
country without detection, and are not
discovered until they are finally turned
into the treasury, some idea of the
proficiency of these experts can be
gained, especially when u.s bear in
mind that these notes are eoften so worn
that the imprint on them can scarcely
be deciphered. 1t not infrequently hap
pens that these bad notes are detected
simply by the feel of them, which, in
some cases, is really the only way of
discovering the fraud; for while a
counterfeit may occasionally succeed
in so perfectly initiating the design of
a note as to mislead even an expert, it
is next to impossible for him to counter
felt the paper used by the government.

| Republicans at Astoria are In merr
Row.
| ASTORIA, April 13.-Two conven
tions in session for second coHgres
sional districts results of efforts OF boil
factions to secure organization. Chair
man c. Fl. Carey called the convention
to order at 10 o clock E. L. Smith, o
Wasco, nominated T. G. Taylor o
Umatilla temporary chairman and pu
it on motion and declared it carried
i Carey refused to recognize Taylor anc
w. M. Rasmus, of Multnomah, nomi
pated Otis Patterson, OF Heppner
whose election was declared by Cary
amidst great confusion.
Division called for and refused by
Carey. Both chairmen took platform.
Chairman Taylor recognized nomina-
tion of c, E. Cochran for secretary
| and Patterson recog nized nomination
of F. w. Eppinger. Each was declared
| elected. Concurrent motions for COM
mittees of five each on credentials and
on organization and order of business
were entertained by both chairmen
and declared carried.
Motion to adjourn till 2P. NJ. enter
tanned by both chairmen and declared
carried by Taylor and lost by Patter-
son. Simon delegation and majority
of delegates outside MultnOmah
county left seats and others remained
sitting. Credentials handed by dele
gates to the different credentials COM
mittees, much confusion prevailing.
Preliminary to opening of conyen-
tion two petitions were handed the
chairman, one signed by 4S of the 80
delegates outside Multnomah county,
asking him to name Taylor as teEpor-
ary chairman, other signed by about
20 asking him to name Patterson. The
refusal of the first petition is the
reason why Smith nominated Taylor
and put motion himself.
The Patterson convention remained
in session while conferences were
being held between leaders of the two
sides. Two propositions were SUBJ
mitUed.
Taylor party proposed that Multno-
nah retire and let the 80 outside dele
gates settle the matter of temporary
organization, so that business could
proceed in the regular way. The Pat
terson party proposed that the whole
matter be referred to state convention
tomorrow, meanwhile candidates for
to be named by outside dele
gates alone.

{ JUST AS NE DREAMED IT.
A vision That Rendered an Engines

a Vision That Rendered an Engineer
~ Powerless to Avert Collision.
George Anderson, of Springfield, Ill.
an engineer on the Wabash railroad.
died of injuries which he received in =
head-on collision at Naples recently.
On the morning of the accident An
derson dreamed that he had been in q
collision, that he had been pinioned be-
meath his engine, and that the escaping
steam had begun to burn his flesh, when
lie awoke. Anderson was troubled by
the dream and told his family about it.
He said he felt that there was q warning
in the dream, and he was almost per-
suaded not to go out on the road that
day, but he went. Anderson talked to
his fireman about the presentiment.
II evidently preyed upon his mind, for
he became distracted in manner and al
most needless of his surroundings. The
nearer the train approached it's destina-
tion the more distraught Anderson be-
came, and he had the appearance of
dreaming again as he went about his
work in the cab. He did not give his
usual attention to the fireman, and the
latter felt that something was wrong
with the engineer.
At Bluffs Conductor Garrison got the
orders at the depot and took them to
Anderson. The engineer heard them
read and attended to the reading in the
same absent-minded manner that had
marked his conduct throughout the
morning. Taking the copies, he me-
chanically placed them under his seat
ha ato,- 4
from the cab Anderson called him back
and said:
II am going to have one of the most
awful wrecks you ever heard Of"
The conductor was startled, and asked
him what made him say this.
Il know it is So" replied Anderson,
because had trouble with my engine
all last night and could not sleep. lam
going to have a h :ad-on collision"
Garrison told him he had only suf-
fered nightmare. Anderson shook his
head gloomily and said he knew the ac-
cident would occur. Anderson's orders
instructed him to meet a local freight
at Naples and wait for that train to
take the siding. When the point was
reached Anderson gave no indication of
stopping his engine, and as the train
dashed by the switch the fireman saw
his engineer sitting as if in trance.
At the same moment he saw the local |
coming down upon them. A collision |
was inevitable and the fireman sprang |
for the footboard. crying to the en-
gineer to jump.
Anderson looked at the fireman in
dazed manner, but made no movement
toward the cab entrance. The fireman
sprang out and the trains rushed to
gether. Anderson was caught beneath |
his engine just as he had dreamed he
would be and the steam enveloped him.
He was finally taken from his awful po-
sition, but he had received injuries from
which he soon died. Every other man
on the train escaped.-St. Louis Re-
Dublic

BEES BRING BLISS.
An Unusual Train of Events at q
Country Funeral in Maine.

An unusual Train OF EVentn ot =
Country Funeral in Maine.
During a funeral in the town of Cut
Ter two days ago two lovers who had
been alienated from each other for q
month were brought together under
peculiar and painful circumstances, and
before the services were ended a COM
plete reconciliation was effected. The
chief mediators in the affair were
honey bees-n whole swarm of them.
After short services at the house the
body was taken to the family tomb in
another part of the town. Willis Smith,
the rejected suitor, one of the pallbear-
ers, rode in a carriage ahead of the
hearse, and Miss Milly Loring, the
woman in the case, occupied a top
buggy driven by Mr.. Clark, and brought
up the rear of the procession among
the neighbors and frienda. AS soon az
the tomb was unlocked and the coffin
taken to its resting place great crowds
OF angry bees swarmed out, stinging
kindred, friends and bearers, until
everybody howled with pain. Mr..
Clark, the man who was escorting Miss
l$OiihSb iiOAil
fled for stream of water 20 rods away,
whereupon his horse got up brisk
runaway right among the mourners.
The animal had made one circuit about
the cemetery and was boiling through
the gate for two-mile home run, when
it was caught by Mr.. Smith, who led
it to a place of safety, and did what
he could to alleviate the distress Of
Miss Loring. Meantime the men Of
the party had built fire, which
scorched the wings of the bees and
caused them to fall to the ground
When Mr.. Clark returned from the
stream he found Mr.. Smith and Miss
Loring sitting side by side applying
wet clay to their bee stings. Both were
eating honey and talking as if they had
always been friends. Mr.. Clark took
his horse and drove home without ask
ing any questions-N. Y. Sun.
