AS TO HAPPENING CLANS.

Captain Absalom Bonfanti Brannan, | formerly one of the stars which corrus-
 cated in the galaxy of the Portland po- lice force, but for a number of years a citizen of Long Beach, where he is chasing after the phantom good health, was in the city day or two ago. and was speaking of the fine fat clans which form a large part of his diet, He mentioned especially the large New York or paper shell or mud clam
 which is so plentiful in the bay back of Long Beach, and which he pro- nounced the best of all clans. The friend to whom he was talking re- marked that he had lately received q lot of these clans and that they were nothing but skeletons" and not worth eating,
 But I put up my clans and fatten them before eating then," said Bran nan.
 You do, hey?" was the response. How do you fatten them?"
 "Oh, l just sprinkle meal over them and they get as fat as butter in a day or two"
 T have heard of clans and oysters being fattened in that way" answered his friend, 'but l never took any stock in it. In fact, I have seen sacks of oysters lying in front of restaurants in this city with oatmeal thickly sprin- kled over the sacks to give on idea that the oysters were being fattened. My idea is that it would be just as sensible to nail you up on box and throw mush at the box with the idea of fat tening you as to sprinkle meal on the shell of an oyster or a clam to fatten them
 Grammar insisted that the theory was all right and offered to leave the matter to any biologist or psychologist or any other ologist in any school in Oregon. If any one knows the true inwardness of this old theory of fattening clans and oysters, he will please make it known and settle the dispute. Morning Oregonan.

CAPTAINS DINNER ON BOARD HAMBURG AMERICAN LINERS.

iIfahIb bItI AM EttltAN LIN ERS.
 After all is said and done the Ger mans can give us points when it comes to real fun and jollty in entertaining.
 There is jovial little ceremony that is feature of every trip of the Hamburg Americas steamers, which might we'll be adopted as pleasant innovation at a dinner for young people during the holiday season. It follows the captain s dinner, and takes place on the last night or the voyage. The tables are beaut- fully decorated on this occasion, the center piece being always an immense case in the form of castle, in the mid de of which an electric light is con- cealed. From the steeples, turret and battlements float miniature flags of all nations, while favors of every sort and description fill up the interior of the castle Suspended in the center of the saloon is huge shore shoe of ever- greens, studded with multicolored cleo trlc lamps, and framing the message "Auf Wiedersehen.''
 At given signal the room is plunged into darkness then the lights in the harse-shoe and the cake castles are turned on, one by one, the band strikes up lively tune, and the stewards wearing false faces and fools caps march in slowly with Chinese lanterns and bearing each a huge platter on which is roughly-hewn block of ice re- sempilng an iceberg, i'll the hollowed center of which burns a colored light. Ice cream moulder into the forms of hsh and sea-serpents form the base of the miniature icebergs.

REMA RkABLE CURE OF GROUP.
 A Little Boys Life Saved,

I have a few words to say regarding Chamberlain's Cough Remedy It saved my little boys life and I feel that I cannot praise it enough. I bought a bottle of it from A. F. Steere of Good win, S. D., and when I got home with it the poor baby could hardly breathe gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until he threw up" and then I thought sure he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out of his mouth in great long strings. I am positive that if I had rot got that bottle of cough medicine my boy would not be on earth to-day.

MANILA IN THE YEAR 1902.
Features at Present of the Metropolis
of the Philippines.

From the Manila Justicia,
Manila has u population of some 800 COO
people, divided as follows; Natives, 22;-
900; Chinese, 65WO, and others, princi-
pally Americans, 10000. 1t is Il quaint,
old fashioned city, built upon the north
eastern shore of the bay. which Is nearly
round and about twenty-four miles
across. The houses are principally built
of manufactured stone and are one, two
and three-story structures. The walls are
from two to four feet thick and built 10
withstand the earthquakes, and do-that
Is, the less severe ones. The streets are
tolerably straight and from thirty to SIX
ty feet wide, with the majority of them
about thirty-fve feet.
The city Is lighted very poorly with
electric lights. There is II street car line.
the ears being drawn by small ponies.
The telephone system is poor. Manila has
a very good waterworks system, pre-
sented to the municipality by u Filipino
who has departed this life, the condition
of the gift being that the poor people
should always have water free, and pub
lie hydrants are accordingly well distrib-
uted about the city. The Pasig River
courses through the city from the north
east TO the southwest. Below the first
bridge, above the mouth of the river, at
the famous "Bridge of Spain," the river
Is wide and deep and is constantly crowd
ed with commercial boats of all descrip-
tons. 1t is sight worth long journey
to see.
The churches and cathedrals are q
marked feature of Manila. Their gran
deur, and in many instances elegance. is
wonder and surprise to the stranger.
And the bells, the beautiful BELLS" the
devotion of the people their music fore
tells. Those who do not like them think
they are awful" On feast days, and
there are many, business in the immed-
late vicinity of a church has at times to
be suspended during their ringing, and
that Is many times during the day, and
II Is not unusual for them TO be heard
at midnight, and they always mingle

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
An Experts Statement of It's symp-
toms and Effects.

DR.. Salmon, in Public Health.
Foot and mouth disease appears
among cattle as a high fever with YES
icles on the inside of the lips, tongue,
cheeks and roof of the mouth, and also
upon the feet, just above the horn and
between the toes. These besicles soon
rupture and leave an liberated surface
which interferes with eating and causes
more or less lameness. Few animals
die, but the fever causes the suspen-
sion Of the milk secretion and great
loss of flesh. 1t is estimated that ami
mails lose fifty per cent. in value by an
attack.
The most marked characteristics Of
the disease are that nearly every bov-
inc animal exposed contracts the dis
ease, and the contagior spreads with
most remarkable rapidity, and is easily
carried from place to place by people,
dogs, and other animals, or infected
cars. 1t affects hogs, sheep, goats and
other ruminants and possibly also
horses to a slight extent.
The milk of affected COWS is infec-
tious and liable to convey the disease
to children and others partaking of it.
The great loss on account of the dis
ease is not from it's fatality, but from
the loss of milk and flesh, and as the
shrinkage in this way equals half the
value OF the animals the disease is, as
you can see, as bad as those plaques
where only half the animals are af-
fected, but where practically all the
affected ones die.
] do not know how the contagion was
introduced, as it did not come through
ts,,n tati se,fa
of the contagion in this country is a
great calamity, and threatens our
whole live stock industry. The federal
government will do everything practic-
able to confine the disease and stamp
