NOT TRUE TO THE POLE.
The Variation. In the Pointing OF
the compnss.


We commonly say that the pole OF
the needle points toward the north.
The poets tell US how the needle is true
to the pole. Every reader, however, Is
now familiar with the general fact OF
q variation OF the compass. on our
eastern seaboard and all the way across
the Atlantic the north pointing OF the
compass varies so far 10 the west that
ship going 10 Europe and making no
allowance for this deviation would find
herself making more nearly for the
North cape than for her destination.
The ''declination,r as 1t is termed In
scientific language. varies from one re-
gion Of the earth TO another. In some
places 1t is toward the west, in Others
toward the east.
The pointing OF the needle in various
regions of the world is shown by means
OF magnetic maps. Such maps are pub
lished by the United States coast sur
yey, whose experts make n careful
study of the magnetic force all over the
country. II is found that there Is a
line running nearly north and south
through the middle states along which
there is no variation of the compass.
To the east OF 1t the variation is west.
10 the west Of 1t east. The most rapid
changes in the pointing of the needle
are toward the northeast and north
west regions. When we travel to the
northeastern boundary OF Maine, the
westerly variation has risen to 20 de-
grees. Toward the northwest the east
erly variation continually increases un.
til in the northern part of the state OF
Washington 1t amounts to % Degrees

 "Peruna was recommended to me about year ago as an excellent rem edy for the troubles peculiar to our sex, and as found that all that was said of this medicine was true, 1 am pleased to endorse it.
 "I began to use it about seven months ago for weakness and nervous ness, caused from overwOrk and sIeepIessness, and found that in few days began to grow strong, my ap- petite increased and began to sleep better, consequently my nervousness passed away and the weakness in the pelvic organs soon disappeared and l have been well and strong ever since."

WEST AFRICAN BALS.

Tie ultivate Their Fields, but Flow
 Fully Armed.
 An Interesting story is told by the commissioners who have been engaged for the last eighteen months in fixing the Anglo-German frontiers in West Africa between the Town of Yola and Lake Tchad. The region traversed is little known, owing to the hostility of the tribes. The Fuani villagers were found quite friendly, but beyond Lau. a large town on the Bernu, there lay q mountainous region inhabited by pa gans, who in many cases were canni- bals. They were found to be a most industrious people, who cultivated their fields with good deal of meth cd. In most cases, says Reuter-, they were practically naked, but were all ways armed. Even when at work in the fields blowing they carried full kit of spears, shields and poisoned ar rows.
 The arrows are much dreaded, for they are tipped with a deadly poison extracted from vegetables and from dead bodies. This is carried in small bottles, and when fresh it proves fatal in few minutes. These people arc adopts at game stalking, and disguise themselves as birds and animals in order to approach their prey. They are smaller than the Fulani, being often quite dwarfish, and they live in flimsy grass huts perched ill inaccessible hooks among the mountains.
 At Kuba the sheikh of British Bornu rode out to greet Colonel Jack son, at tue head of 300 hOrsemen and large number of men on foot. He was accompanied by band and danc- ing girls. His people carried enormous spears, and some wore old armOr while the horses were caparisOned with housings like those of the cru saders. The survey has proved that existing maps are to large extent in accuate, and has placed the boundary farther to the east, thus enlarging the British sphere.-London Express.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an unframed con. dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which ie nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucous services.

"Esprit de Corps"

All the tiny crlpples in the nefghbor- hood of the settlement house, together with few able-bodied children, had been feasted on cake and lemonade. When one of the deformed mites was ready to go home he missed his coat, which search failed to find. The young woman who had been ministering to the wants of the company had seen one of the able-bodied girls go out with something under her shawl too bulky to be secreted cake.
 Run, my dear, to Jenny" she said to one of the lads. "ln picking up her shawl perhaps she got hold of some thing else by mistake"
 The boy moved off on his stumpy crutch, and when he returned he held the coat up in triumph. The accident had happened; Jenny had picked it up with the shawl.
 The crippled children crowded close round the young woman in great per turbation. Their self-respect had been wounded. and they looked disdainfuly at the few sound children among them. Finally one of the lads said:
 Miss Martin, it ain't one of us that did it. Jenny ain't cripple; she's on'y a Sunday school!'

WIZARDS OF THE PosToFFIue.

fective Addresses. The staff of men in the New York
 postof1ice who are called upon to guess
 out defective addresses are wonderful. ly successful at their brain-torturing tasks.
 One absent-mnded person addressed
 a letter "2,242 Bronchitis" and 1t was promptly delivered to 2,242 Broadway, to correct address. Not long ago O..

 "Vincenzo Marchese, Harpon Haraad,

 Applying the phonetic method, he quickly wrote in red ink at the bot tom of the envelope, "Quarantine Sta ton WospitaD, Hoffman Island" The
 next day the letter was placed in the
 hands of the immigrant for whom it
 was intended
 The Italian, Russian, Hungarian and Greek mails bring most of the blind" addresses, which are worked out pho
 netically. A few recent examples of the originals, with the translations by
 the postal experts are: "Sirianostrt, Tomsville"-Sarah Ann Street, Tompkinsvile. "Merryone"-Matteawan, N. Y.
 Tstochinchistommo"-East Kings ton, N. Y.
 "Soccioples"- Plains. Under the name of one address ap-
 peared the following: "Chaipil Pon-
 milcan." After some study the guess
 CT" wrote across the envelope Care j..
 Pierpont Morgan" and the letter was
 duly delivered to an Oriental in the financier's employ.
 A tougher problem was presented by
 this: "Hop Lee, 10 Colock, Complce,
 Texas" Long and hard study led to the conclusion that the correct reading should be 'IIop Lee, Fort Hancock, Camp Rice, Texas" The letter was
 sent there and Hop got it. A letter addressed to "Mr. Frederick

RETURN
FROM
THE EAST
Mr.. and Mrs. COnditAre Home
After a Six Weeks
Tour

Mr.. and Mrs. A. o. Condh, who have
been spending a couple of months in
the East returned to Salem last even
ing, and are very happy to be back in
their Oregon home The trip was one
of pleasure, and was a success in ev.
cry way They went East over the
Denver & Rio Grande, making their
first stop at Salt Lake. Denver and on
to Chicago. After a few days in the
great pork packing metropolis, they
went by the Lake Shore to Buffalo,
thence by the New York Central to
Albany, and down the Hudson by
steamer. Thus they travelled over
some of the finest railways in the
world, and down that historic stream
which has so much of interest con.
nected with it. After a short visit in
New York, where they visited the
great parks and other points of inter.
est, they went to Boston, where they
likewise had several pleasant days
Washington. On their return from
the national capital, they visited
different points in Ohio and Illinois,
thence to st. Louis. Here they saw
the great fair, which is marvel. They
had previously visited the remains of
the Philadelphia, Chicago and Buffalo
expositions of the past quarter of
century, and gained a magnificent idea
of the great fair projects of the world.
In New York they met DR.. Frank
Matthews, son of the late H. V.
Matthews, of this city, who is now a
hospital physician on Blackwell's
Insland. In Boston they saw Mis-
Hortense Kimball, who is finishing
her musical education there, and
numerous other old acquaintances
were seen along the line.
After leaving St. Louis, they took
the ride up the Mississippi river on
the Burlington to st. Paul, which goes
through a magnificent stretch of coun'
try. Mr.. Condit confesses a disap-
pointment ii many ways concerning
the East. In fact, he thinks there are
many advantages out West over the
in the older sections of this
country. From st. Paul they took the
Canadian Pacific home, and thus
closed a tour of 1000 miles in a most
manner.
It is unnecessary to say that Mr.. |
Condit, who is member of the school
board, is more than pleased with the
results OF our late school election, as
he Is a firm champion of the high |
school. He made many observations |
