New York, Feb. S.--The decision OF

MARINE NEWS.
Many Vessels Are Clearing Lumber
Laden from This Port.

A large number of vessels are clear
ing weekly with lumber for domestic
and foreign ports, many going to the
orient. Three left out yesterday with
lumber and two schooners were towed
up the river for cargoes. The claim is
frequently made that there is moth
ing in shipping lumber by water, and
that the only profit is in railroad ship
ments. but this is discredited by the
large shipments going to the west coast
and to China daily since the first of
the year. The recent advances In the
prices of lumber is improving the ship

Large Number Of Bills introduced
But Few Passed.
HON. Mr.. SMITH OF JOSEPHINE
indications That Very Little lesisla'
tion Will Be Transacted at This
session-No Probability That
the Charter viii Pass.

Only eight days more remain OF the
legislative session. Both houses have
decided to adjourn at IL o'clock Fri
day, February IL. After this week no
new bills will be introduced and all
bills that have not passed either one
house or the other win be considered.
During the session Ss4 bills have been
introduced in the house and s4o IN the
senate. making a total of STi bills. OF
This number not to exceed 10 will be-
come laws and large majority OF
these are local bills Incorporating cities
and towns. Some of the most friviious
bills, and bills without any merit have
been introduced by Smith of Josephine,
He has introduced So bills, or one-
tenth of all that have been introduced
in the house. OF this number 10 have
been killed in the committee, as pos
sessing no merit and not worthy of
consideration: Is have been inden-
nitely postponed; have failed to pass
and the remainder will be killed in
the senate.
The bill recommended by Governor
Chamberlain. abolishing the health
officers at Astoria, Gardner and va
auina has passed both houses and has
been approved by the governor. The
M fhrAa
will go out of Office on May l.
A bill introduced by Senator Brow
nell making eight hours a days work
in all employments in the state, failed
to pass. There are some employments,
such as farm hands, hop pickers, fruit
pickers and other similar employments
that is hard to regulate under such a
law and this was the cause Of its de-
feat.
The Jayne bill amending the local
option laws mas passed the house and
will no doubt pass the senate. In Its
amended form it is an Improvement
ever the existing laws. Every precinct
win be given an opportunity to vote as
TO whether it desires saloons in the
precinct or not. 1t changes the num-
Der of persons required on a petition
from 10 TO 80. and all elections mus'
be held on regular state election days
The bin increasing the salaries OF

both houses and win become a law or
May /. 1t Increases the salaries Of the
county clerk ami sheriff from 1880 tc
$1,000 year and the county Judge from
5000 to $1,000.
Up to the present time no material
changes have been made in the fish,
ing laws, but the bin agreed upon by
the joint conference of Washington
and oregon will probably pass. i
makes the spring close season Marcf
Is and extends the fall season to Au-
gust 25.
The Astoria charter bill has no
passed and probably viii not. Ever
lf,it should pass, it would be vetoe,
by the governor. and there will no
be time enough to pass it over mis- vett
If It should pass.
There has never been a session o
the oregon legislature where so many
foolish and absurd bills have been in
trodueed. A large majority simply rep
resent the personal hobbies Of the au
thor of the bill. Some seek to regulate
existing evils, for which there are al
ready adequate laws. The appropria
ton bill will amount to about $4,000.

Fashion and Consumption.

In all American cities and most of
the larger towns promiscuous expec-
toration is prohibited. There are or
dinances and rules against splitting in
public conveyances, on the floors of
assembly halls and on the sidewalks
OF necessity, however, this cannot be
prevented in the cutters and on the
pavements.
BY educating the tuberculosis pa
tient himself in regard to his duty to
his fellow citizen much more can be
done. A careful consumptive is
good citizen; careless consumptive
is an enemy to society and the state.
Even with the civil and self-imposed
precautions, the dust of the highway
and crossings is teeming with various
disease germs. 1t is practically i'm
possible to eliminate these beds of
filth. In the cleanest streets such col
onies Of germs are present.
The use of long, dragging skirts on
the average highway is the height of
folly. 1t is worse. 1t is absolutely
dangerous. The sweeping cloth picks
UP dust and dampened particles car
rying tubercular germs. They are
thus transplanted into the very house
hold. In this simply yet sadly effec-
tive way, the children, so carefully
guarded, are exposed to the dreaded
plague. The entire family, satisfied
with their fancied security, are
stunned when tuberculosis claims one
of their loved ones.
1t may not strike the family circles.
The household servants may be ar
fected. Many of the deaths of domes-
tics have their explanation. The mis-
tress, after a shopping tour, leaves
her mudborderad skirt for the maid

GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL.
KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS,
RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART.
Mrs. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerous
After Effects from Grip and Learns
Value of a Blood Remedy.

Value of Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prev to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, and even con-
sumption.
The story told by scores OF victims OF
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and in every way wretched from
anamia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:
81 had severe attack of grip and, be-
fore had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. I was in badly rundown
state. Soon after it began was SO lame
for week that I could hardly walk. It
kept growing steadily worse and at last
I had to give up completely and for
three weeks I was obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were SO stiff couldn't
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.
"While was suffering in this way
CHANGED to run across little book that
told about the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements in it inn
pressed me and led me to buy box. These
pills proved the very thing I needed
Improvement set in as soon as I began
to take them, and it was very marked by
the time had finished the first box.
Four boxes made me we'll woman"
Mrs. Laura M. Van Scoy lives at No.
20 Thorpe street, Danbary, Conn. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are equally well
adapted for any other of the diseases that
follow in the train of grip. They are
sold by all druggists.

SOME WHOLESOME RECIPES.

Vegetable Soup.-Simmer together
slowly for three or four hours, in five
quarts of water, quart of split peas,
slice of carrot, slice of white tur-
nip, one cup of canned tomatoes and
two stalks of celery cut into small
bits. When done, rub through col
ander add milk to make of proper con-
sistency, reheat, season with salt and
cream, and serve.
Roast Imperial.-Mix together one
half cup of lentil pulp prepared by
rubbing well-cooked lentils through a
colander), one-half cup of pease pulp,
one-half cup of English walnuts, and
season to taste with sage and salt.
Line an oiled baking dish onehalf
inch deep with the mixture. Pack in
loosely dressing made from the fol-
lowing ingredients: Four slices of
zwieback, steamed until softened, one
half cup of hot cream, sage and salt
to taste, and one well-beaten egg Mix
together lightly with a fork. Cover
closely with peas, lentil and nut mix
ture. Spread over the top thick cream,
bake in moderate oven until firm
enough to cut into slices. Serve with
cranberry sauce or fruit jelly.
ScaIoped Potatoes.-Pare the pota-
toes and slice thin; put them in lay
ers in an earthen pudding dish, dredg-
ing each layer lightly with -four, add
salt, and pour over all enough good.
rich milk to cover well. Cover, and
bake rather slowly till tender, remov-
ing the cover just long enough before
the potatoes are done, to brown nice
ly. If preferred, little less milk may
be used, and cup of thin cream add
ed when the potatoes are nearly done.
Macaroni With Tomato Sauce
Break macaroni into inch lengths,
enough to make one cup, and drop
into boiling water. Let it boil until
perfectly tender. In the meantime,
prepare the sauce by rubbing a pint
of stewed or canned tomatoes through
a colander to remove all seeds and
fragments. Heat to boiling, thicken
with a little -four; tablespoonful to
the pint will be about the requisite
proportion. Add a half cup of very
thin sweet cream and one teaspoonful
of salt Dish the macaroni in indi-
vidual dishes. and serve with a small
quantity of the sauce poured over
each dish.

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas for the
Decoration of Homes.

The styles of home decorations have
completely changed in the last few
years, and 1t Is pleasant to say that
they have changed for the better
Time was when we hung monstrous
patterns printed on paper against our
walls, and considered them more or
less pleasantly. 1t would hardly be fair
to say that we considered them beau
tiful or artistic. But they were the
vogue and we're put on. The time
has come when, with our better meth
DDS for interior decoration, better ef-
fects can be secured.
In wall coverings, whether they be
of paint, or of kalsomine, or of Ala
bastine-whatever the material used
to cover the wall-the thing desired Is
that which has the greatest covering
power, as well as permanency and
beauty of color. Alabastine, wall
covering ground from Alabaster rock
which means a hard white rocks
the ideal covering for a wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
in our large public buildings, and the
frescoed designs in the large cathe-
drals and churches, have perma-
nency and an art of which wall paper
is but cheap imitation, These mural
schemes and frescoed designs can be
brought within the reach of the every
day home. They can be done with
Alabastine, which is permanent in it's
coloring. 1t does not rub off, and 1t
has the soft effect of pastelle.
A great many people defer the re-
decorating of their rooms not only
because of the expense but because
of the discomfort of it. With Alabas-
tine there need be no discomfort and
there can be no muss, for all that is
needed is to lay sheet or canvas ON
the floor, have your man come in with
a pail, make the solution and simply
brush 1t on the wall. That is all there
is to 1t, and the room Is perfectly
clean and thoroughly renovated.
