She Married a Flower Vase

We often hear of queer marriages. But
damsel of Sooehow, one Miss Hsu, a
young lady belonging to one of the aris-
tocratic families Of the city, has evolved
new idea. She has married a red
flower vase, this vase being made a SUBJ
stitute for the son of Lu Jen-hsiang, lib
ationer or vice chancellor of the I'M
perial academy of Pekin, and 6
former opimus of the Hamlin academy
1t apperaed that the son of the libationer
died last winter, a few days before his
contemplated marriage with the young
lady, and the latter vowed that she would
never marry but be an inmate of her be-
trothed's family, where she could observe
her widowhood. Hence the marriage
ceremony in question. There is sug-
gestion to memorialize the throne for
a granite arch to be built in Soodhow to
commemorate the virtues Of Miss Hsu.-.

BLACKHEADs
How They Come Out and How to Get
Rid Of Them

The skin is continually giving off a
perspiration which Is acid. This acid
coming in contact with the oily sub
stance thrown off by the sebaceous
glands forms a substance which, il not
removed by proper bathing chokes the
pores. Dust settling in these pores,
blackheads are formed. The pores are
enlarged, the skin becomes irritated and
inflammation results in pimples or
small sized boils. The reason these ap-
pear more frequently on the face and
neck than any other portions of the body
Is quite evident. Next to the hands,
they are more exposed, and being
washed less frequently than the hands,
are more liable to retain deposits Of
dust.
AS to the cure, It consists entirely in
thorough bathing. Many persons never
thoroughly wash their faces. This may
seem a broad assertion, but it Is never
theless true, and fault of which women
are, as rule, more often guilty than
their less particular but more sensible
brothers and husbands and fathers. The
reason appears to be the dread women
have Of running their skins by the use
Of soap. Now soap is absolutely es-
sential for properly cleansing the face,
and should be used at least once every
twenty-four hours. When soap is used
warm water is better, providing Of
course that the face is thoroughly
washed afterwards with cold water to
counteract the relaxing effect Of warm
water on the skin. OF course where per-
sons are very much exposed to dust the
face should be washed with soap more
than once, care being always taken to
rinse off the soap. This is one point to
be remembered: it is the improper rims
ing of the face and not the use of soap
that Injuries the skin. In instances where
blackheads have already formed and ap-
pear hard to remove by the use of soap
and warm water, it is well to supple
ment soft flesh brush. This should
be used on the part affected, but on no
account should the skin be scrubbed
harshly. Persistent use of warm water
and soap will cure and prevent the worst
cases of blackheads. A thorough rims
ing will remove the Ill effects of soap,
and the after application of cold water
will always counteract the relaxing in
fluence Of warm.-American Queen.

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-Chiefiy on account OF
an early display of strength at Liverpool
opening bids for May wheat were at figures
a shade above Saturdays closing prices
May starting at 95@951s; Liverpool showed
hqAd advance at 1:30 p. m. Besides this
falling Off, the total for last week being
5,5ls.0o0 bushels. compared with 1886, 200
bushels the previous week. Another fea-
ture which helped in the opening firmness
was the strong cargo market at London, a
sale of Oregon wheat being reported at
the equivalent Of 115Q1.151a bushel Liver
pool warehouse stocks also showed a
reduction of 10000 bushels for the week
News bearing on the future crops here and
in foreign countries was SO favorable, how
ever, that a selling movement started al
most Immediately after the opening, and
the pressure finally became so hard that
the market for some time lost all appear
ance Of strength. May dropped to 94A in
a, few minutes, and though seaboard re-
ports Of good foreign inquiry caused a
few of the more timid shorts to cover,
which sent the May price back to 941aQI
9ats, the price dropping Immediately after
this demand was satisfied to 41s. Califor-
MIA reported an abundance of much needed
rain. Indian crop prospects, reported as
ulifavorable Saturday, were said to be
splendid today; and Australia, 1t was said,
would have more wheat for export than
was expected. Rosario cables stated that
both receipts and shipments of Argentia
wheat were increasing. Northwest re-
ceipts were heavy.
Increased country offerings and westeren
selling was the feature in the corn market
today. May closed unchanged.
Oats were weak and lower early, but
became quite firm toward the close, and
closed Ac. higher.
Provisions were fairly active and strong,
and prices reached new levels. Higher
yard prices were responsible for a higher
opening In provisions. This induced con-
siderable realizing, and part OF the ad-
vance was lost. but later a strong buying
movement set in which carried prices
quickly upward. The close was strong,
with May pork 121tc higher. May lard 10c
higher, and May ribs &c higher.

COMMERCE. OF THE LAKES
Remarkable Increase Of the Business
of the Chief Ports in Ten Years

There are 10000 vessels, including $500
steamers and 1880 sailing craft Of all
classes, under the American flag. While
American shipping in salt water dis
trfcts has not been increasing materially
there has not been very large gain in
the commerce of the lakes, gain so
large that the figures are surprising. In
ten years, for instance, the lake COM
merce Of the city of Buffalo has almost
doubled, increasing from 9S,00O,OOO to
l9e, 100000 tons. The shipping business
of Detroit has increased from 100, 900, 900
to 175,00O.00O in ten years. The shipping
business of the Michigan peninsula has
increased from 45,000,000 to 100. 900, 900
tons in the same period. Chicago's busi-
ness has fallen off somewhat, the gain
being made up In Duluth and Milwau-
kee. The lake business of Milwaukee
and Duluth ten years ago was $4,000, 900
tons; last year 1t was 1SO,O00,OOO.
But, compared with these increases,
large as some of them are, the growth
of Cleveland as the chief lake port of the
United States has been almost phenom-
email. In the year 1887 the tonnage Of the
port of Cleveland was 125,000,00O; last
year it was 100000, 900, and there is every
Indication that this increase, based on
geographical grounds, has come to stay.
The position of Cleveland as shipping
port is certainly remarkable. 1t is a
shipping center for bituminous coal. 1t
is the receiving point for the largest
share of the iron and lumber business of
Michigan, and it furnishes safe and ex-
cellent harbor for vessels of all sizes
The commerce of the great northern
lakes is largely in the hands of Ameri-
cans, and the profits arising from the
business are increasing year by year.

THE ELECTION.

Another election has come and
gone in Lincoln county, and has
left the usual number of scars and
wounds that will take time to heal.
On the state and congressional tick
ct the republicans have been Sue
cessful in this county, and seem to
have been throughout the state.
Their fight was backed by ample
means, and that seems to have been
a great advantage. The war in
which the country is now engaged
was also a very great help to the
republicans and their appeal to the
voters to stand by the administra-
ton and hold it up, right or wrong,
on account of war, was very sue
cessful. The county Offices have
have been distributed among both
parties. The Union ticket secured
the judge, clerk, commissioner, SUR
veyor and coroner, and came within
eight votes of getting the assessor.
The republicans have secured the
sheriff, treasurer, school superinten-
dent and assessor.

Now my friend, yon and every

DEALING IN FUTURES

Again we have new outgivings
from WashiDton as to when Spain
is to get the solar "solar plexus"-
the smashing of Havana.
When Mr.. Mckinley and lawyer
Long, in charge of the navy, and
lumber-dealer Alger, in charge of
the army, discovered that Blanco
could live longer without food than
the Cubans, they said they would
invade Cuba livery soon." Then
they gave out that the invasion
would be put off until next week
or the week after" Next the wait
ing people learned that twenty
days more at the least would be
necessary for preparations" Then
they learned that Mr.. Mckinley
and his advisers in their wisdom
Thought that next fall would be
about the earliest advisable time. u
And now it is "defnately decided
after carefully considering all tn,
conditions and difficulties" that
Havana cannot be attacked unit

A dispatch from Washington, D..


c., to the Oregonian, says:
The house this afternoon refused
10 concur in the senate amendment
appropfiatirg 500, 900 for carrying
on the Improvement at Yaquina
Bay. When the vote was taken
on the amendment most of the re-
bublicans were not in their seats,
and the democrats voted solidly
against the proposition, in this way
managing to send it back to con-
ference. Tongue is still hopeful of
securing its adoption, for the entire
Oregon delegation favors it, and is
pushing it with will.
There are two ways of opposing
the passage of bill; to vote openly
against it, and to be absent when
the vote is taken. AS between the
two, the most honorable one is to
vote openly.
But il strikes us as being ex-
tremely ''fishy" that jus, at that
particular time that so many of the
republicans should have happened
to have been absent. We think
that the excuse is a trumped up
one to say the least.
We really do think that it would
have been better to have waited
until the official returns were in be-
fore the ante-election promise of
Tongues was broken.
We never have believed that Tom
Tongue was in earnest in his sup
port of the Yaquina bay PROPOSE
tion, and we do not believe that he
is now. But he worked the peoble
in this county all right on it.
