Itself, OF what otherwise would have
been the greatest of crimes, except
by pleading the mandate OF that
which was, and is, the supreme law
of the land. That would be a good
defense, and SO good indeed that,
whenever it shall be honestly made
it will dispose at once of every other
contention that is involved in this
controversy. For it must be plain
to the dullest understanding that
no political party can, by an
Amendment to the Constitution Of
it's own making, UNDO NOW that
which it was COMPELLED TO DO
when framing the Constitution it's
elf. The memorable law of neces-
sity under which it then acted, and
which still governs this case, has
has lost none of it's original force.
That inex0rable law Is the 18th Ar
ticle of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States. 1t has not been remov-
ed, but still bars the way, and the
Democratic party is as powerless
now, as heretofore, to break it down
or to surmount it. And least of
all can it do this by a device SO inn
potent and SO puerile, as the pend
ing Suffrage Amendment. For that
is nothing more or less than an old
and worn out invention, borrowed
from the school Of South Carolina

The larynX has been compared to n
Wind, reed and a stringed instru-
ment. The comparison of it to a violin
gave rise to the not very accurate
phrase, vocal chords" as the name of
the two cushions which are its most
short as those vocal chords" could
produce musical bass note. In fact,
the comparison of the larynX to any in
strument which produces only musical
tones is inadequate, to begin with.
There is no instrument but the larynx
which produces both song and speech,
and as these comparisons view the lar
ynX merely as a producer of musical
sounds, we have no further concern
with them at present. Besides, the
voice can be trained for speech, elo-
cution and oratory without a knowl-
edge of the physiology of the larynx,
We have the power of adjusting the
larynX; of varying the tension of its
cords, cushions or ligaments, as they
have been variously called. We can
do these things without scientific tech
nical knowledge of how they are done,
without any knowledge at all of vocal
physiology; and it is the work of the
trainer of the voice to teach his pupils
or her pupils, we may be allowed to
say-how to do them. - Chambers

CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON.
A Letter From the Executive Office OF Oregon.

Pe-ru-na IS known from the Atlantic
TO the Pacific. Letters of congratula
ton and commendation testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh rem
edy are pouring in from every state in
the Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher--all agree that Pe-ru-na is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omuipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh. but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs. colds and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-

FLAVORS OF TEA.
Some Interesting Information About
the shrub in Its Different
Stages.

The many varieties of commercial
tea are the result of the different meth
oGs of treating the leaf OF the tea shrub,
which is a species of the well-known
Camellia family, whose large, cream
white blossoms were the fashionable
dollhouse flowers in the days of our
grandmothers. The tea shrub has the
same evergreen leaf and waXen bios
som as the Camellia japonica. 1t is
purely Chinese and japanese shrub.
All attempts 10 cultivate it in this
country have proved failures. Even if
the shrub should be raised in this
country, ii is doubtful if it will ever be
commercial success here, owing to
the Importance of the processes of cur
ing the leaf for the different varieties.
Green tea, once the favorite tea of fash
ionable women, is much less used now
than the black tea of Oolong, and mix
lures of the two. The difference be-
tween green and black tea consists
chiefly in differences in the age of
Ike leaf and in the rapidity Of the dry
ing process. Tea, especially of the fine
qualities, absorbs favors very easily,
and the Chinese take advantage of this
fact to impart the flavor of orange
blossoms or other fragrant flowers TO
their finest teas. The young leaf, or
green tea, seems to affect the nerves
more strongly than black tea. proba-
bly, because ii is cured more rapidly
and greater care is taken TO preserve
the flavor. One important thing for
families to know is that delicate teas
like young Hyson, and all delicate teas
made from the young leaves, lose their
favor rapidly after the package is
opened. St is not wise to buy them
by the quantity for family use. Coarser
teas, like English breakfast teas, seem
TO improve with age, and can be ad-
vantageously purchased in the original
boxes, of three pounds or more. No
tea, however, should be exposed 10 the
air, but should always be kept in air
tight receptacles.
The fashionable practice of adding
a few drops of vanilla to tea, though
it seems incongruous, is doing nothing
more than the Chinese do when they
flavor their teas in the process of cry
ing. The Russians, who are the most
aesthetic tea-drinkers in the world, not
even excepting the Chinese, flavor their
clear tea in various ways.--N. Y. Trib-
