Interesting Facts Showing Its Great
importance in Many Branches
On the ordinary thermometer may
be read, opposite the figures, two
statements of opinion and two Of fact.
The former are Of little importance;
whether rs is summer heat and a
few degrees lower temperate de-
ponds largely on the locality. But the
two fixed facts that water freezes at
SO degrees above zero. and that the
temperature of the body is $50, says
the Youths Companion, exercise a
controlling influence over many of
the affairs of life. And while the
whole face Of the instrument might
be dotted with other interesting signs,
such as the boiling point Of water and
other liquids, and the freezing points
of various liquids, these facts con-
corning blood and water are the prime
essentials.
The freezing point of water is at
the basis Of many industrial processes;
it must be constantly watched. When
freezing weather is threatened the
familiar suction pump is allowed to
"run down." or the valves in unpro-
tected water pipes are closed In

IApAns LEADING ACTOR.
Psculiarities Of the Stage in the FIowery
Kingdom.

Pscullarities Of the Stage in the Flowery
Kingdom
Japan has a leading actor whose
place at the head of his profession is
as indisputed as Sir Henry lrving's
in the theatrical world in England
Ichiwawa Danjuro is now GO. HIS
ancestors were on thestage more than.
200 years ago, and theater folks in
Japan accept him as worthily uphold
ling the family traditions
On Broadway theatrical prece-
dence regulates itself. They order
these things differently in Japan.
There is a real theatrical aristocracy IN
the Flowery land
Its members are called "nadai."
None may be Of their number who has
not had the good fortune TO inherit
a grea. name, like Ichiwawa Danjuro,
or to have been adopted into some
famous theatrical family.
Middle class actors may have their
merits, but they cannot hope to be-
come nadai on them, and 10 enjoy the
attendant privileges. The principal
of these are that they are entitled to
advertise their names on the play
boards over the theater doors, and
there are only five actors who have it.
Danjuro is easily head Of the five,
SAYS the New Y ork Sun.
For a centuryand quarterth this has
been a stock play sure TO draw full
houses when all others fail. Danjuro
has played the part rs times, which,
in Japan, where audiences demand
variety in repertoire and lots Of it, is
considered a remarkable record
Acting in Japan isn't easy either

DRAWING THE COLOR LINE.
White and Brown Deer Have Little to Do
With Each Other.

White and Brown Deer nave LltlIe 10 DO /
With Each Other
Do animals draw the color line? |
From the clannish way il which the
fallow deer in Central park menagerie |
have lately conducted themselves,
SAYS the New York Times, this would
certainly seem to be the case.
About six weeks ago a new brown
buck was added TO the fallow collec-
ton, which consisted of two or three
brown deer and some half dozen al
binos. Through inbreeding the flock
had deteriorated until only few re-
NAMED to remind one of the fine buck
who was master of the flock up to
about five years ago. AT that time the
herd became too numerous, and the
| lordly buck, with about dozen of his
consorts, was removed to Van Cort-
landt park. From the advent Of the
new buck up to about three weeks ago
all went well. Then, however, the
director of the menagerie decided to
weed out the poor stock and replenish
the herd from Van Cortlandt park,
and brought down some half dozen
fine brown does.
The brown buck seemed at once
to take to his new subjects and to
build up a kingdom among those Of
his own color, and the stock of the
white, or albino, deer took a sudden
drop. Many times a day now the
flock can be seen divided, the white
deer standing by themselves at one
end of the paddock, and the brown,
in company with the lOrdly buck at
another This is particularly notice
! able when the approach Of keeper
/ or anything to attract the attention

!! The brown deer at once flock
D around the buck, and the white ones
G crowd together at a distant part Of

HIS SUDDEN DEATH
John Barnhart Passed Away While
His Wife Was Conversing
With Him.

At his home in this city at 1890
O'Clock yesterday morning, with
no sign or gasp, to attract the at
tention of his wife who was con-
versing with him, John Barnhart,
father of Theo and Charles Barn
hart suddenly breathed his last.
Death resulted from heart failure
and is supposed to have been as
painless as it was peaceful.
The afternoon preceding the
day of his death, Mr. Barnhart had
been out at Agricultural Hall. He
returned home about four O'Clock,
and complained somewhat of a
pain in the pit Of his stomach.
Later he retired and the night
passed without any manifestations
to suggest that death was SO near.
Yesterday morning he arose, and
passing down stairs into the kitch-
en- where Mrs Barnhart was en-
ployed about her household duties.
said that he was feeling bet
ter For sometime he remained
there, but later passed tip stairs and
into his chamber, where he went to
bed.
Sometime afterward, Mrs Barn
hart entered, and began to tidy
the room. Her husband was awake
and as she worked, they engaged
in conversation. AS they talked,
Mr. Barnhart moved to the side of
the bed, dropped his feet to the
floor and arose to sitting posture.
Her duties presently led Mrs Barn
hart to the chamber door, where
after busting a moment, chatting
as she wept, she noticed that her
husband was lying on his back On
the bed and that flies were on his
face. ''There are flies On your
face" she said as with motion o1
the duster she advanced to drive
them away. There was no answer
and a quick glanceat the husbands S
face showed that the spirit had
winged its fight. There had come
a peaceful end to a peaceful and
green old age.
John Barnhart was born in Lam
caster county, Ohio, in 1927. AT
the time of his death, he was aged
Is years. He lived in Ohio until
1889, when he came to Corvallis
where he has since resided. He
has been for 46 years a member Of
the Odd Fellows, having joined the
order in 1886. The funeral will oc-
cur at 2:3o Sunday afternoon, and
will be under the auspices of the
fraternity of which he was so long
a member. The survivors are, the
widow, and two sons, Charles and
Theo Barnhart, and daughter,
Mrs Clara Newman of Everett,
Washington.

SENDING IN FISH
The Beaver Greek Party has Luck
Richard, the Sprinter, is Himself
Again.

Friends In Corvallis of the John
SON. Ca1lahan-Rennie- Wilson ca mp
ing party have received tangible
proof that the latter are doing busi-
ness with the trout in Beaver
Creek, Several speckled beauties
of fine proportions were distributed
about town Tuesday, and numer-
Gus families remembered the party
with pleasure at dinner time. 1t is
supposed that Postmaster Johnson
has got his wind after the pyro-
technic race he made to catch the
train out of Corvallis, and thatssthe
vigor wasted in that unparalleled
feat has been sufficiently restored
by rest, mustard poultices, catnip
tea and Lydia Pinkhams pills to en-
able him to make a full hand with
the others at fishing at meal
time.
In the language Of the street, and
also of the Pink Tea, it is now up
to the party to capture a deer. as
the Johnson Burnett-Lester-W White
horn party returned home skunked
scoring the fourth record of the
sort made by Corvallis hunters
this season. The Beaver Creek
party killed three last year, Peter
Thomas Callahan having slain one
with shot gun and bird shot.

GRASSHOPPERS TOOK IT
A Small Field of Fine Oats a Few
Miles North OF Corvallis.

According to the statement of
A T Locke, six acres of oats on the
farm Of Alfred Bickne1l, north Of
Corvallis, has been almost
destroyed by grasshoppers. Samples
of the ruined oats, together with a
spray of thrifty oats from an ad-
joining field were brought by Mr.
Locke to the TINES Office, where
they are to be seen. The heads of
the damaged stalks are almost as
bare of grain as if they had been
run through a threshing machine,
and indeed. look like they might
have been picked up from a straw
pile.
On one there was not a grain
and on another there was but one.
On third there were two or three
on what had been the middle Of the
head, and on still others there were
two or three at the extreme end.
In each instance the stripping has
been done SO efectua1ly by the hop
pers that all that was left of what
had been a fine crop Of oats was
hopeless wreck.
It was estimated by Mr. Locke
that oats in the adjoining field
would yield sixty bushels per acre
The handful of stalks from the
field now at the TIMES Office is as
handsome a specimen of grain as IS
often seen
Mr. Locke says the ravages OF
the hoppers are not confined to the
oats field. They are eating the
corn in the vicinity. The leaves
are stripped from the stalks, and
tassels are bitten from the ears and
dropped to the ground. The leaves
on potatoe vines were also disap-
pearing before the hungry horde OF
hoppers, and even milk weed is
stripped of its foliage as complete
1y as though done by the hand Of
an artist in such matters.
The instance is the first Of the
kind that has happened in the To-
cality, and the neighbors are wond-
ering if Oregon is to be Kansas
lied.

WOMAN DOES IT
Makes 25 Miles Every day in Rowboat
to Sell Vegetables.

Nearly every day small row
boat, pulls into the docks at New
port, and thereby hangs a story.
The boat is always heavily laden
with vegetables On arrival, and
when it departs, it sometimes car
ries sack or two of mill feed or a
few packages from the stores. 1t
generally arrives in the morning,
and departs with the first turn of
the tide, up stream.
The person who pulls this boat
backwards and forwards every day
is woman. Apparently she is in
the twenties, and though her size
is far below that of an average
man, she sends her boat through
the water as swiftly and handles
her oars as dexterously as the best
of them. With independence and
confidence, she pushes ahead with
her work and the long pull over
the Bay and river at which many
a man would shudder, she accom-
plishes with apparent ease and pal
pab1e grace.
The lady is Miss Minnie Dram
She lives near Toledo, and there
she cu1tivates a garden, the sur
plus vegetables from which she
markets in Newport. The distance
between the two places is IL or IS
miles, making about rs miles for
the round trip. Ordinarily. she
pulls her ..boat from one place to
the other in abont two hours. which
is as quick if not quicker than
horse could make it over the motn-
tain road.
For her industry and enterprise
the young woman gets snug
profit. Her example is one that
many man in Lincoln, in fact in
all other counties. except Benton,
might follow with profit to them
selves and the country.

-Flemington has recently discov-
cred that water is good to drink, and
fountain has been erected in front of
the court house so that the local editors
and others may be tempted to try it,
The local editor of the Democrat-Ad-
vertiser gave us special invitation to
attend the dedication of the fountain,
but as we have better water in Lam
bertville and more of it, we saw no
reason for going out of town. Now
the 'Tiser's local complains that while
every editor in the county, except
John Kearns, of the Wage Worker,
was invited, not one was there. We
do not think that they staid away so
much to resent the slight to editor
Kearns as to resent the imputation
that water was a novelty as a potation
in their part of the county.

There are some women who seem
to be perennially youthful. The grown
daughters are companions as well as
children, and the color in the mother s
cheeks, the brightness in her eyes,
the roundness of her form, all speak
of abounding health. What is her
secret? She is at the middle age of
life when 30 many women are worn,
wasted and faded, and yet time has
only ripened her charms. The secret
of this matronly health and beanty
may be told in the brief phrase, DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The
general health of woman is so inti-
mately related to the local health Of
the delicate womanly organs, that
where these are diseased, the whole
body must suffer. "Favorite Prescrip-
ton dries the debilitating drains,
heals liberation and inflammation,
cures female weakness and imparts to
the delicate female organs natural
vigor and vitality. Women who have
lost their health and their beauty have
been made "robust and rosy checked"
by the use OF this marvellous medicine.

The question has been asked,
'In what way are Chamberlain s
Stomach and Liver Tablets su-
perior to pills?" Our answer is:
They are easier and more pleasant to
take, more mild and gentle in effect
and more reliable, as they can always
be depended upon. Then they cleanse
and inyigorate the stomach and leave
the bowels in natural condition,
while pills are more harsh in effect
and their use is often followed by
