covRrsnlp foR HEALTH.
The Outdoor Exercise and Air Dur
Ing the Love-1Gaking Period
Il Good.

An old physician recommended what
he humorously termed the "courtship
cure," relates Casselps Monthly.
Many married folk, he pointed out,
look back regretfully to their bright.
active and buoyant feelings when they
were young lovers. They do not real
ize that their robust health In those
days was not merely question OF
youth, but was due in great measure
to their daily walks and pastimes In
each others company, and to the fact
tfat they had then sympathies and
interests in common.
After marriage many couples aban.
don their healthy outdoor pursuits
and neglect to entertain and cheer
each other up, A. they did in court
ship days, and this has prejudicial
effect upon the health.
The benefits of courting were SO
thoroughly realized by certain young
health seeker that, 1t is said he in
drlged in no fewer than seven coart-
snps, in order to have the advantages
Of female companionship on, his walks.
When the young ladies' eventually
found out the real motive of his at
tentions they dropped him, the damsel,
in one case, sarcastically remarking
that she wished to qualify for wife
and not a nurse!

GAVE the RICH RIGHT | NAME.
Curious One for a ship, and It Brought
Ridicule Upon Those Who
Questioned It.

Boats trading in the Medway In
former years rejoiced In rather Gu
rious names, and the following, says
the New York Tribune. was only one
of the many amusing incidents result
ing from this:
A boat named What's That to You?
passing q dockyard at night time was
hailed, as usual, by the coast guards
man.
Boat ahoy! Your captains namef'
Capt. e."
"And what are you laden with?"
Goals"
Where hound for?"
Chatham"
Ships name?"
What's That to You?"
II asked you the name of the ship?''
whats That to You?"
"You shall be reported for your in
science" roared the coast guardsman.
Again he put the question, and. receiv-
ing the same reply, the boat was COM
manded to remain where she was.
In the morning two boats were seen
keeping guard. The officials, as they
boarded the vessel with full authority
10 seize the offenders, observed for the
first time the name painted In large
letters. Amid the laughter and jeers
of the crew of the What's That to
You? they pulled moodily away.

A CROCODILE SUPERSTITION
Washing Of Mosquito Net in Borneo
River Followed by One or
More Deaths.

The superstition that deaths by
crocodiles are the inevitable result
Immediately after curtain has been
washed in the river has been constant
ly confirmed, says the North Borneo
Herald.
A curious note upon this supersti-
ton appears in the monthly report of
w. B. Smith, district officer at Tim
bang Batu, North Borneo. He says:
1.-TWO crocodile fatalities have been
reported, and there have been several
narrow escapes. Toward the end of
December the enlightened authorities
at Pangkalan Bandau sent up an aged
Chinaman to Timbang Batu under ar
rest for having washed his mosquito
net in the river. A woman was taken
in the same place by q crocodile few
hours later. a coincidence which great
ly enhanced his guilt while adding,
| am afraid, fresh authority to the
sI Derstiticn."

sTINoY WITH DOLLAR SIGN
Mutilated Character Finds Favor
with Some Writers, But
Is Wrong.

II was reading q magazine article
the other day in which the cost of
certain staple commodities was quoted
in every other line," said the man Of
experience, relates the New York
Press. LAS soon as I began to read
I was struck with some popularity in
the type that made me feel uncom-
Portable, but worried through half q
dozen pages before I found out what
1t was. Finally discovered that
somebody had been experimenting
with the dollar mark. Instead Of
using the two vertical lines that con-
stituted the framework of the dollar
mark l had been accustomed to, that
magazine had grown stingy and had
limited the sign to only one line.
"Since then have seen our most
precious symbol thus mutilated in sew
eral publications. wonder II 1t is
going to be the style to write it 50
hereafter? l hope not. I don't like
It, Typographical eccentricities Of any
kind are seldom welcome; a dollar
mark minus one Of its familiar props
would be least popular Of ALL"

TIE BRloANos OF ITALY.
Are Not Quite So Bad as Some Ex-
citable Tourists Try to. Make
Them Appear.

A German gentleman was one evening
riding along the public highway near
Imola, when his horse threw him and
bolted. says Rome letter to a Pail
Mall Gazette. He picked himself up
and lighted match to see what time
It was, but found that his watch had
stopped. Just at that moment two bi-
cyclists hove in sight, and he went
forward, making signs for them to
stop, but the men pedaled furiously
out of sight. About two months after
the gentleman was reading an account
of travel in Italy, when he came across
the following passage:
"One evening we had an adventure
with a brigand. We were bicycling
near Imola. when az .cdividual in a
long dusty cloak suddeniy sprang from
the ground and with small lighted
torch, which he fourished with furious
gestures, demanded our watches. We
with great agility, but by the skin Of
our teeth, avoided the ill-intentioned
fellow, and shouting that we had no
watches made of as fast as we could,
whether followed or not we did not
wait to see."

4 LONG MOVING TRIP.
HOUSE MovED fkoH oHIo TO
INDIAN TxRRIToHy.
Doctor Much Attached to Domocile
and When Changing Residence
Transplants 1t Also--Was
Torn Down.

Cleveland, O.-Dr. C. e. Bryant, 10.
cal physician, has just completed a May
moving job that is perhaps without a
parallel In this part of the coNutry.
He has moved l5-roomed house
from Cleveland to Indian territory. His
wife's mother was moving to his new
home with him, and she wanted her
old homestead to go with them. So 1t
went. ,,4.
This feat was accomplished quietly
and successfully. There was no demon
stration, no delaying of traffic and no
creation of excitement. This task which
seems so Herculean was performed so
easily as to destroy the romance that
one feels ought to belong in the picture.
The house that travelled from Ohio's
metropolis to the southwest stood in
Harkness avenue in the East end. II
belonged to Mrs. Austin Beckwith,
widow of Wells Beckwith. and was her
home 35 years. She bought it when the
original Hardness, now dead, laid out
his farm in lots.
When 1t came to moving the house
was torn down with as much care as
marks the moving Of piano out of a
fiat. Its fragments were indexed, classi-
fed, tied together and packed.
Only two men were employed on the
work. They worked slowly, but with pre-
cision. Finally the debris" stood
about the premises ranged in neat bun
dies of boards, timbers, joists, frames,
etc. These were bound with straps OF
metal. wire and in the conventional
packing case methods. AS each came
out of the house 1t was numbered.
The lumber was hauled to the rail-
road and packed into freight car.
Then it started for its destination, ac-
companied by car which was loaded
with the household effects.
Mrs. Beckwith. at whose request this
strange form of moving was adopted
explains it in this way:
I'VE liked the old house, of course.
| but It wasn't sentiment alone that made
| us move 1t. DR.. Bryant was moving
to Indian Territory 70 live permanently
and we wanted TO dispose of the prop
erty on Harkness avenue. We sold the
lot, and the people who bought it did
not want the house. Of course they
| offered to buy it, but they would have
had to tear it down and sell 1t for old
lumber They were not willing to pay
for it what 1t was worth as house.
80 we decided that we would take
it with us. II 1t was only good for lum-
ber anyway and had to be torn down by
somebody we thought that we might as
we'll be the ones to tear It down. The
house will be rebuilt in Muskogee pre-
cisely as II stood in Cleveland. We
! will modernize it somewhat and add a
few improvements, but otherwise II
will not be changed"
1t is stated by the Bryant family that
their new" home will have cost them
less than had they bought new lumber
and built a new house in their new
home.
when we are settled in our new
home 1t will be some satisfaction to
| know that we are still in our old house,
said Mrs. Becliwith.

Britain's Loss by Emigra tion.

During the half century from 1853
to 1903 over 100000 people emf
grated from the British Isles, and of
this immense number the great ma
ority went to swell the population OF
the United States. Happily, in quite
recent years the tide Of emigration
has set in more strongly toward the
Dominion of Canada; but even last
year $4,000 people from these islands
entered the United States, carrying
with them at least e1.0O0,0O0 In hard

twice that amount.-LondOn Post.

Dinner and a Little Change.

One day a well-dressed stranger
called at Lawrence hotel, relates the
Kansas City Journal, and told the land
lord that he was broke and very hungry.
The landlord took him to the dining
room and gave orders for the dinner
When he got up from the table $40 bill
dropped from his handkerchief which
he drew from his pocket. A waiter
picked 1t up and handed it to the land
lord, who confronted him with the fact
and at once took out rs cents (25 cents
is the regular price, and returned $l9.2'
to the stranger, who was apparently
dumfounded and speechless. Later or
the vigilant landlord learned that tb;
bill was counterfeit.

Thew Don't Advertise,

There have been complaints made
that Baker City merchants do not car
ry first-class goods. This is erron-
eous. The enterprising Baker City
merchants carry the finest goods to be
found anywhere in the United States.
But the complaints are not without
foundation. Strangers coming to the
city and there are many Of them, make
this complaint. That is because they
have, through ignorance, patronized
the establishments of sleepy merch-
ants, merchants who do not advertise
and of course the goods sold are in
ferior to what the public demands.
Strangers coming to the city are
warned as to these fossils. They are
merchants who impose upon the pub
lie and ruin the reputation of the
city as they do a great injury to the
country at large.-Baker City Herald.

Rug as a Parachute.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-A rug which
formed a parachute saved the life of
Mrs. Kate Getin today in a fall from
the fifth floor to a cement paved yard.
Mrs. Getin's arm was broken She fell
out of the back window of a flat into
deep, narrow area crossed by family
clothes lines.
A woman living in the ground floor
fiat heard a thud on the pavement and
saw the corners of large parior rug
folding down over Mrs. Getin, who lay
in it's center. The swaying of the
clotheslines above showed that the
woman mad fallen from the fifth to the
third floor level without striking any
obstruction until she hit a rug which
lay spread over two clothes lines.
From that point downward the edges
and corners of the rug had Topped
against clotheslines sufficiently to
retard the plunge which otherwise
would have proved fatal.

mented to $3,600,000O00 there is ample
room for the raising of revenue suffi-
cient for governmental requirements
without affecting the margin neces-
sary for interest on the public debt.
The whole affords highly interest
ing Russian economic summary, yet
one who has read the articles of Mr..
Dillon and other commentaries must
feel that Mr.. Del Mar has perhaps
put the favorable side out too strongly,
and some allowance must be made for
his evident pro- Russian leaning. There
remains however, sufficient proof that
Russia, despite humiliation on land
and sea, is still far from bankruptcy,
if her internal troubles do not over
whelm the government.

UNIVERSAL FRIENDSHIP.

The quality Of mercy is not finer
nor it's dimensions broader, than the
quality of Kaiser Wilhelms friend
ship these days. He is now preparing
for more cordial relations with Eng
land, according to report. His friend
ship for Russia was manifested only
week before last, when he had hardly
finished making up with France after
their little tiff over the Moroccan sit
uation. The kaiser, instead of a
militant ambition, may cherish am
billions to become the exponent of
universal peace, possibly stimulated
thereunto by the example of mis- imper-
ialistic twin, Theodore Roosevelt, on
this side Of the water.
Should a suggested alliance of Eng
land, France and the United States
into which self-interest would surely
draw Russia and Japan, come to pass
the kaiser would be decidedly out in
the cold-unless he chose to come in
like a very small and reluctant min
GRITTY, at the last minute, to make
agreement and peace unanimous. The
alliance between the three powerful
countries would leave him little
choice, and it may be that, perceiv-
ing the possible trend of interna-
tional relations, he prefers to be the
leader in the movement. To be sure
the big triple alliance is but a dimly
suggested possibility, but the logic OF
it is powerful; it could hardly fail to
insure world-peace. And the necessity
of it is strong. Looking to the end
of universal peace, it would be univer-
sally commendable-exce possibly tC
the country which might not be con-
suited. 1t would not be bad policy
for the kaiser to undertake the max
ing of world friendship, and he could
come nearer to achieving it than any
body. French diplomacy can be in
duced to meet him half way; Eng
land would pleasantly acquiesce after
debate. The United States would
not seriously hesitate to enter such ar
elimination of war.
But, shades of Frederick the Grea,
