A Scotch divine had risen up in the
pulpit to lead the congregation in
prayer when a man IN the front row
OF the gallery took out his handker-

a pack of cards was wrapped up in 1t.
Noisily the whole deck was scattered

INDIcEsTIoN's RECORD


indigestion is making an awful record
as cause of sudden deaths. 1t is beat
ing heart-failure in its CHASTITY harvest.
qYou read in the papers daily Of appar.
emily healthy and even robust men being
suddenly attacked with acute indigestion
after enjoying hearty meal, and Of their
dying in many cases before a physician
could be called in.
QThis should be warning to you who
suffer with regular or periodical attacks
Of indigestion. If these unfortunate vic
tins of acute indigestion had taken a
small dose of Green's August Flower be-
fore or after their meals they would not
have fallen prey to such sudden seizures.
qAugust Flower prevents indigestion by
creating good digestion. 1t also regulates
the liver, puri6es the blood and tones up
the entire system in natural way.

Phil May, the English artist "of most
dear memory" had promised to do n
coiored design for the Christmas num-
Der of an illustrated weekly publica-
ton. The date fixed on for its delivery
passed by, and no design had been
forthcoming
Letters and kilograms were unan-
swcred, and when n messenger was
sent to Mays house it appeared that
he had gone to Paris without leaving
any address. This. according to Lon
don NJ. A. p, is what happened next.
The publishers We're at their wits
end, but one Of them, paying days
visit to Marsate, was overjoyed to see
May basking in the sunshine by the
water. The publisher did not make
himself known, but cannily ascertain
ed where May was staying. Then he
hired six sandwich men to parade up
and down before the artists window
with boards bearing different legends.
This was their tenor:
"What about our Christmas Govern"
1--WE are waiting for that cover"
1t was delightful reminder, and in
a few days the publishers received enc
of the most brilliant designs May had
ever executed.

Dame Nature was a glassmaker long
before man was created. Natural glass
resembled the glass of which beer bot
ties are made, and it is to be found in
Iceland, Spain, Italy, Sardinia and al
most every locality in which volcanoes
have been at work. Its proper name is
obsidian, and there are enough cliffs of
glass to fill all the window frames in
Great Britain.
Mica is another form of natural glass
and is largely used in the making of
chimneys for incandescent gaslghts.

Old brown Windsor soap, so common
ly used for the toilet, is not the real
thing Mt all, but merely an imitation.
The only soap of that name is not
made but comes from the bulbs Of the
Porto Rico soap plant, and 1t was used
for washing purposes long before man
thought of manufacturing soap from
i's "'i" oe'Ni oupSt''hSS'. AtS siieii ~
exactly the same as London made old
brown Windsor, and there is no doubt
whatever that the latter is an exact I'M
itation of the natural soap.
AT one time the world was lighted at
night with "farthing dips" long sticks
of compressed fat with thin string
through the center. Before this the
seeds of the tallow tree, which grows
,, in Algeria, Sumatra and China, were
used for lighting purposes. The seeds,
which are of II good size, need but
wick to burn with n clear, white flame.
1t will therefore be seen that the idea
for both ancient and modern candles
was stolen directly from nature.--Pear-

Something in the Wind.

Many of us are hopeful of see
ing the day when steamers will
again be on regular runs to va
quina Bay. That it will come
to pass goes without saying, for
it naturally follows in the course
Of affairs. Although of late years
there has been little trade to call
ocean-going craft to this harbor
it is noticeable that the demand
for boats at the bay is increasing
as time passes.
During the past year many
steamers have visited this harbor
and there has been aeerapid in
crease of trade. Only last Satur-
day the Arago arrived from Coos
Bay and spent "a hours in our
nearby harbor. Business brought
it there of course. A few days
before the steamer Newport visit
ed Yaquina and departed with a
good cargo. The Robarts is now
more or less regularly on this
run.
From the above it is readily
apparent that things are looking
UP quite bit over at the bay.
Possibly the renewed activity in
railroad circles may have a bear
ing on the matter and few of
the steamship companies are fig
uring on getting into business
over there while the field is yet
green-on the ground floor, as it
were.
Whatever the reason may be,
there is noticeable change for the
better. With heavy traffic over
the c. & E. to Yaluina, and a
good, live line of steamers max
ing regular trips to that harbor,
we would all feel the benefit that
would naturally follow. That we
are on the eve of developments
that will result benehcia1ly there
is every reason to believe, so lei
us hope for the best.

Matters For Discussion.

The health committee COM
posed of Councilman Avery,
Covell and Francisco, and the
street committee, Councilman
Irvine, Francisco and Cove1l, ac-
companied by Chief of Police
Lane, went over the city pretty
thoroughly Wednesday. They
were looking for defective side
walks aud many matters requir-
ing attention.
Perhaps the most important
item for consideration of the
councilmen was the matter of
condemning a couple of old shacks
that stand on Main street. One
of the buildings is at present
occupied by the Chinese as a
laundry. It is situated just south
of the steam laundry i'm the
same block. Besides being a
fire trap, the building and the
conditions attached are consider
ed a menace to health.
The other building it is pro-
posed to condemn was formerly
| operated as a laundry by Chinese.
1t is situated across the street
east of Horning's grocery.
The matter of SO modifying
the fire limit as to make it pos
sible for the owner of the last
named building to erect a wood
en- structure is talked of, and it
is argued that there are no fire
proof buildings in that block, at
least in that side of the street,
save one, which is of corrugated
iron. Moreover, the prevailing
wind would be from snch a quar-.
ter that this could be allowed
without endangering the build
ings across the street. The build
ing at present in use by th'
! Chinese on North Main stree
stands outside the fire limit, SO i
would be possible for the owne
to rebuild in any manner h
would desire.
These are simply matters a
present discussed by these com
mittees. who will report to th
t council when the matter will b
finally decided. Whatever th
council may do in the matter,
: is an assured fact that Chief Ian
) will have a lengthy report at tn
|, next meeting of that body.

out it appears that at the national
capital there is a growing feeling
in favor of strict justice in all
cases where there has been any
breech of trust on the part of
government officials, a feeling
i'll favor of punishment. The
following dispatch was sent from
Washington a few days ago:
Continued exposure of graft in
government officials who have
been manipulating public office
to their private gain is going to
have a marked effect upon the
trial of Representative Binger
Hermann when his case is called
here early in the fall term of
court. probably next October.
The jury which will try Hermann
will be composed of residents of
the District Of Columbia. The
public mind in this city has al
ready been overstocked with in
formation about official graft.
Indeed, Washington is thorough
ly sickened of graft in the govern
ment departments, and sympathy
is no longer expressed for men
implicated in any way. On the
contrary, the idea is spreading
that it is time to purge the entire
service and deal out justice to
every man who has betrayed his
trust.
The indictment of Hermann,
according to the officials who will
conduct the prosecution, is based
on strong documentary evidence.
These officials assert their con-
fdence in being able to show the
jury that Hermann when Com
missioner Of the Land Office, not
only violated the law prohibiting
the destruction Of public records,
but that he furthermore violated
the law prohibiting the sending
of private correspondence through
the mails III officially franked
envelopes.
In the face of the present state
of the public mind, it will take
comparatively little evidence to
convince the jury of the guilt of
any official charged with corrup-
ton in Office, and it is likely to
go pretty hard with every one
against whom the government
can make out a clear case. Even
!! before this strong sentiment de-
veloped in Washington, the
prosecuting officers expressed the
utmost confidence in their ability
to secure Hermann's conviction
in Washington. They are even
more confident now than before,
} for they declare they have ample
evidence to satisfy any jury that
I1ermann's indictment was well
founded.
! In case Hermann should be
, convicted, he would, like Senator
Mitchell, be deprived of his sea-
in Congress from the day the
sentence was imposed, and woule
likewise be disqualified from eve
again holding any government
!, office.

distinguishing the fire, although the root
