Divorce and OCCUPATIONS.

There has always been lower per-
centage of divorces among men en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits than in
any other calling, not excepting the
clergy. Soldiers, sailors and ma
rines, on the other extreme, show the
highest average of marriage infelicity.
Next among the high averages come
the hostlers, the actors, agricultural
laborers, bartenders, servants and
walters, musicians and teachers of
music, photographers, paper-hangers,
BARRIERS, lumbermen, and so on, dimin-
ishing in ratio until the lowest aver
age is reached, as before stated,
among the farmers.-Baltimor Amcri-
can.

JAPANESE Faith In Oku.

Apparently Marshal Oku is the most
admired of the Japanese generals. A
letter found in mail bag captured by
Gen. Rennenkampf contained the fol-
lowing: 1--WE our awe-inspiring COM
mander for the first time inspected
our battalion TIE new men shook with
fear, thinking he could see into their
hearts. But the general dismounted
from his horse and talked to the men,
giving sweets to the youngest He
tasted our food, examined our clothes
and ordered us to be given new boots.
Now that we have fought under his re-
nowned leadership we fear no defeat"

An "EstabIished" Business.

When a long business
is spoken of fifty or 100 years is con-
sidered very respectable continuity
in this country. In Strasburg, though,
they have just set about repairing a
building, "The Sign of the Stag"
which has been constantly occupied
as chemists shop, although not, of
course, by the same firm, ever since
before 1868, in which year a document
still in existence testifies to the fact
that Henri Phillippi, an apothecary
carried on his business there. The
old house, in the course of its present
reservations, has yielded up a treas
ure of old coins, dating, however. only
so far back as the reign of Louis XIV.

OId-Time Digestions.

Now and then one hears of lamenta-
tion that Americans are not the sturdy
race they used to be. The homespun
ways of the pioneers are contrasted
with the silken ways Of their descend
ants and the conclusion is reached
that the American of to-day is crea-
ture of predigested foods and skim
milk. Even out here in Oregon such
q voice is sometimes heard. Let all
such Jeremiahs glance at the bill of
fare for Senator Platts recent break
fast and be forever slenced. Here
is what a lot of politicians tackled
for their morning meal: Buckwheat
cakes and maple syrup, venison, sweet
and hard cider, and pumpkin, apple
and mince pie. Think of that, We pep
sin swallowers-hard cider and mince
pie for Portland Orego'

Arqentina's Live Stock Wealth.

A report from the United States
consul general at Buenos Ayres gives
an interesting indication of the great
live stock wealth of Argentina and of
the growth of the frozen meat trade.
Last year three refrigerating COM
panies were in operation and froze
100000 cattle and 3,42S,000 sheep.
Eight other refrigerating companies
have been formed and the total annual
capacity will now be $4,000 cattle
and 100000 sheep. But large as
these figures are, they represent only
per cent of the cattle and IL per
cent of the sheep of the country. The
quality of the Argentine cattle and
sheep is not at present up to the stan
dard required in Great Britain, though
apparently good enough for Italy,
Spain and Portugal. 1t is claimed,
moreover, that by the exercise Of care
in breeding the value Of the Argen-
tine herds can be quintupled
