81 was in such d condition that when
ever I took a little cold it would settle on
my chest and lungs. I was troubled in
this way for several years. I tried many
kinds of medicines but did not get any
relief, and seeing Hoods Sarsaparilla ad-
vertised I thought I would try it. I took
about four bottles of this medicine, and I
began to improve after the first bottle.
When I had finished the fourth, I was
entirely relieved. Ihave kept Hoods Sar-

The wife of a minister of the Gospel in an Iowa
town suffered for years from constipation, dyspepsia and
headache. Her ailments were identical with those Of SO
MANY other women. Her husband spent many dollars for
medicines, but his wife5s troubles continued right along
until he bought her some Ripans Tabules at the drug

Bismarck has had some odd experl-

lowing perhaps was the queerest:
He had been invited to court din

that he could not reach the palace in
time, and that the delay i'll heating
up a locomotive would be very great.

ton master and a couple OF work
men assisted the prince to work the

expressed his thanks to the men with
80 rubles while to the station master
he sent 1000 fine cigars.

membered her engagement, excused
herself from the first young man
and walked with the second. They
came to a confectionery store, and
she remained outside while he went

What Sleep Is Sclentiflcally.

The great German scientist, Herr
Rosenbaum, says that the anemio
condition of the brain is due to an
excess of water in the cells Of that
body-a sort Of water on the brain.
Sleep, according to his theory, is es.
pecially a matter Of nervous action
the fatigue Of the nerve cells which
communicate with the heart and
bring about change in the circular
ton. The nervous cells are full OF
water when sleep comes ON, which
during sleep passes into the venous
blood as waists, while the nerve cells
receive nourishment from fresh ar
terial blood. When the process Is en-
tircly, over the sleeper s~akes, unless
he is disturbed sooner.
According to Rosenbaum's theory,
sleep is not only healthy because OF
the rest it gives the entire body, but
actually invigorating in itself. Those
who have imagined that slumber was
simply quiet and rest for an over
worked and fatigued mind or body
will be surprised to learn that the
scientists arc divided in opinion as to
whether it is pressure on the brain,
similar to vertigo and other attacks
which produce Inconsistencies, or a
mild form OF hydrocephalus. Now

A Luminous 'l'rco

One of the most remarkable of trees
or shrubs grows near some springs
about 12 miles north of Tuscarora.
1t is six or seven feet high, with a
trunk which at it's base is three times
the size of an ordinary mans wrist.
It has numberless branches and
twigs, and resembles somewhat ths
barberry. Its truly wonderful char
acteristic is its luminosity, which is
80 great that on the darkest night il
can be plainly seen a mile away. A
person standing near could read the
finest print by its light.
Its foliage is extremely rank, and
it's leaves resemble somewhat thosa

to be buried in woolen shrouds. Two
amending statutes were passed-167s

affidavit to be delivered to the priest
stating that the requirements Of the
law had been carried out; otherwise
penalties were incurred. These acts
were repealed by 81 George III, al.
though long before that time the
penalties for noncompliance with
the law had ceased to be enforced.
During the operation of the acts for
burying in woolen the law was some
times evaded by covering the corpse
with hay or flowers, notification OF

How to Get Warm.

It may not be generally known
that when exposed to severe cold a
feeling of warmth is readily created
by repeatedly filling the lungs to
their utmost extent in the following
manner: Throw the shoulders we'll
back and hold head well up. In
fate tho lungs slowly, the air en-
te1ing entirely through the nose.
When tho lungs are completely
filed, hold the breath for 10 seconds
or longer and then expel it quickly
through the mouth. After repeat
ing the exercise while one is chilly a
feeling Of warmth will be felt over
the entire body, even in the feet and
hands. 1t is worth while practioing
this exercise many times each day
and especially when in the open air

A Remarkable Case Of Psychic Power.

A friend of mine who is quite we'll
known in literary circles, but who is
not willing that her name be given,
related to me a short time ago q
striking experience. She requested
a friend in whom she had great con-
fdence and who possessed a certain
degree of physic power to try and
see where she was and what she was
doing on certain evening. The two
individuals were many hundred miles
apart. The friend in striving to 40
complish this feat fell into pro-
found trance, in which he was found
by friends, who thought him deed
and had him medically treated.
When he recovered, he wrote his
friend, saying: "Atsuch an hour you
were in your room. A visitor was
announced. He was person l had
never seen, but | will describe him
to you" He then gave detailed de-
scription of the caller. All the facts
were exactly as stated. Arena.

WHAT THE BIRDS EAT.
Professor Washburn Divides tho Feathere
Tribes Into Three Glasses.

Professor Washburn Divides tho Feathered
Tribes Into Three Glasses.
Professor e. L. Washburn Of the
State Agricultural college read a pa
per before the State horticultural so,
ciety on Birds and the Hortic,,ltur-
list" in which, after showing the re-
suit of many painstaking expert
ments in examining birds stomachs.
ETC., he goes on to say:
Summarizing from what has been
done in this line elsewhere and from
personal observation, it would seem
that we might classify the commoner
birds In rather vaguely defined
groups, it is true, under four heads.
We would, however, reserve the
privilege of condemning any bird
when it became veritable nuisance
to the fruit grower.
Under Birds Worthy of Our Pro-
lection" l would place the robin,
bluebird, all the sparrows except the
English sparrow, bullocks, oriole,
oil fycatchers and virees, swallows,
most of the woodpeckers, most Of
the thrushes, the red tailed hawk.
the red shouldered hawk, Swainson's
hawk or buzzard, marsh hawk, spar
row hawk, long cared owl, short
cared owl, barred owl and the
ecreech owl.
Under Birds Probably Beneficial
we might place the following: Black
birds, red shafted flicker, kingbird
found in parts of eastern Oregon
cherry bird or cedar bird, the horned
lark, black winged yellowbird, or
"wild canary" China pheasants,
quail, ruftled grouse or native pheas.
ant" blue grouse and great horned
owl.
Under Doubtful" / would place
the jays, crows, meadow lark, black
headed grosbeak, ground dove"
golden eagle, bald eagle.
And under Decidedly Bad" i
should unhesitatingly place the pur'
pie linnet, or cherry thief" the
woodpecker called the ''sap sucker"
Cooper's hawk and sharp Skinned
hawk.
In considering the above arbitrary
divisions it should be borne in mind
that many birds placed in the Doubt
full" column may really deserve
better place, though the examina
ton of stomachs have not extended
through long enough time to show
this. The eagles, for instance, in 10
calities where their natural food is
abundant are undoubtedly beneficial.
1t is only when this supply is cut
off that they become injurious. The
China pheasant is reported to me by
some as consuming much grain,
feeding on fruit and garden stuff
and even pulling up young pear and
peach pits just sprouted. Yet tho
bulk of testimony seems to point to
the fact that all of our game birds
consume enough injurious insects to
more than balance their bad quail
ties. Gunners in this vicinity assure
mo that they find many grasshoppers
in the crop and stomach OF Denny
pheasants, and one man mentions
seeing these birds hunting a field for
hoppers much after the manner Of
turkeys.
OF the English sparrow I can say
nothing good and trust it may never
get q foothold in Portland or else
where in Oregon. 1t is noisy, pug
nacious and dirty, and though it has
q penchant for canker worms it
drives away other birds which prey
upon pests for which an English
sparrow has no hking.-Portland

Unreallxed Anticipations.

That Long Islanders are not wholly
devoid of hun.or, which has been
charged against them, is clearly
demonstrated by recent occurrence
at Riverhead, the Suffolk county
seat.
It seems that the local debating So
ciety had under consideration the
old topic, whether there is greater
pleasure derived from anticipation
than from realizationG' This weighty
subject was discussed at length and
was finally carried in favor of antici.
patton by heavy majority.
Now, it happens that a favorite
dish of Riverheaders is rabbit stew,
and that one of the losing faction,
Nate Downs, Is esteemed as tho best
concocter Of rabbit stew on the east
ern end of Long Island.
Not long after the fal nous debate,
Nate invited the whole company to
visit his house and partake Of the far
vorite dish. Anticipation ran high,
and at the appointed hour the club
assembled en- masse, but elias for re-
alizationl there was no rabbit stew,
only tho usual paraphcrnalia Of
serving it--dhshes, knives, etc.
Nate had sought by this practical
method to force the society to recon
slider Its hasty decision and was en-
inently successful. The company
left, very angry, but with the settled
conviction that so far as rabbit stew
was concerned realization would be
more satisfactory than anticipation.
