THE PORTLAND EXPOSITION.
Corporation Held Responsible for Dis
tribution of Funds.

PORTLAND, Ore, December 27.-The
Oregon state commission has formally no
titled the eLwis and Clark Exposition cor
poration that it will hold the officers and
directors of the fair responsible for the dis
trfbution of money which, 1t has been an
nounced. may amount to about 25 per cent
of the original investment of the stock
holders, or 100000. The official communica-
ton states that the commission claims a
pro rata share of the funds now in the
possession of the corporation after all lia-
bilities have been settled.
The Oregon state commission also de-
mands an accounting of the money which
has been expended by the corporation. The
communication states that the commission
Is acting under the direction of the attor-
ney general of the state of Oregon. The
officials of the corporation say that the
action of the Oregon state commission Is
absolutely without precedent, and that they
know of no similar occurrence in the his
tory of eXpositions. In returning the sur
plus money to the stockholders they say
they are only following a precedent which
was established years ago by other EXPOSE
tons.
The one exception to the general rule was
the Chicago fair, when the city appropri-
ated a certain amount. The, surplus was di-
vided between the stockholders and the
city pro rata. But the officials say that
there was a previous agreement to this
effect, which they allege does not exist
between the Lewis and Clark Corporation
and the state commission.

Pelf in old Newspapers.

The personal attendant of the head of one of the large banking houses downtown has an unusual system of accommodating revenue. In day many newspapers are left in the bankers office, and not infrequently magazines. These the attendant carefully takes, rescuing from the waste baskets ut night any which escaped him in the course of the day. He folds them, takes them home and puts them in storage until he has enough to sell.
 You'd be surprised at the way they accumulate" said he. "When I first began to save them thought I'd nev- CT get enough to sell, but it didn't take long until my cellar shelves were full of papers and magazines. l keep each kind separate nicely done up in pack ages, which I weigh, so I know at any time just how much stock l have on hand.
 After I'd been saving the papers for about nine months 1 found I mad more than ton. so l thought I'd sell them I got different prices for the different kinds of papers. The maga- zines brought 30 cents a hundred weight. I got more than $15 for that ton of paper. That was quite an item, you see, for it never cost me anything but little time. If ever l get out oc work I'll make business of collecting napers and selling them,"-NeW York Tribune.

Care of the Feet.

People who suffer from tired feet may note that good deal of their dis comfort is caused by the fact that they wear stockings that do not fit. h. deed, the fit of stockings is almost as important as that of shoes, and, in order that they may fit, 1t is necessary that they shall have a right and left to the pair. They should have as few seam0 as possible, as these cause corns. The feet should be bathed at night, and this treatment is an excel lent sleep producer. The water should be salted. The feet should be scrub bed all over with nail-brush, which will often prevent the formation of corns; whilst hard spots on the soles may be reduced with piece of fine emery paper or fine file before the feet are placed in water.

The Beautiful Flowers.

Flowers, of all created things the most innocently simple, and most su- perbly complex; playthings for child hood. or2aments of the grave-fowers, beloved by the wandering idiot, and studied by the deep-thinking man of science.- .-fowers, that, of perishable things. are the most heavenly!-how- CTS, that unceasingly expand to heaven their grateful, and to man their cheer full, looks; partners of human joy; soothers of human sorrow; fit emblems of the victors triumphs, of the young brides blushes; welcome to the crowd ed halls, and graceful upon solitary graves! flowers are in the volume of Nature, what the expression, God is love-" is in the volume of Revelation. What a desolate place would be the world without flower! It would be a face without q smile--a feast without welcome. Arc not flowers the stars of the earth, and are not our stars the flowers of heaven? One cannot look closely at the structure of flower without loving it. They are emblems and manifestations of Gods love to the creation, and they are the means and ministrations of mans love to his fellow creatures: for they first awaken in his mind sense of the beautiful and good Their growth is always over their grave; the spot of their bloom is so quickly the sepulchre of their beauty!

Chostnuts a Paying Crop

The boys may be interested to know that chestnuts prove very profitable crop. Experts claim that an orchard of chestnuts will bring greater returns to the owner than an apple orchard of the same size, as the nuts are retailed on the street corners at about six dollars bushel, while the Italian who sells roasted chestnuts receives pay for them at the rate of at least eight dollars a bushel. The tree is one of the most rapid growers, and has been known to bear fruit at five years of age.- St. Nicholas.

 ''I have had poor health for the past four years, pains in my back and groins, and dull, sick headache, with bearing down pains.
 "A friend, who was very enthusi- astic about Peruna insisted that try it.
 "I took it for ten days and was surprised to find that l had so little pain.
 "I therefore continued to use it and at the end of two months my pains had totally disappeared.
 .I have been in the best of health since and feel ten years younger. l am very grateful to you"
 Catarrh of the internal organs grad ually saps away the strength, under mines the vitality and causes nervous ness. Peruna is the remedy.
