MAGIC IN TIBET.
Feats of the Wonder Workers of the
Land of Mystery.

Feats of the Wonder Workers of the
Land of Mystery.
India and neighboring countries are
the home Of mystery and the black
arts. Even in the centers of civiliza-
ton there are fortune tellers and won
der workers to whom supernatural
powers are attributed by those who
scOrn superstitious belief. Says writ
ar: "Tibetan peddlers have affirmed
over and over again that, living in the
mountains near the city of Lassa. there
1-e men possessing extraordinary pow
ers, distinct from and far higher than
the ordinary lamas.
These men cure the sick by giving
them rice to eat which they crush out
Of the paddy with their hands. They
perform many other remarkable feats.
We are told that a young Bengali in
1852 testified before a number of re
spectacle witnesses that while travel
Ing in Tibet, in the neighborhood of
the lake Of Manasarawara. he met one
Of these men accompanied by a num-
Der Of chelas, or pupils. The master
saluted him and, finding that he had
nothing to eat, gave him some ground
grain and tea.
AS the BeIgali had no means OF OBJ
tanning fire the master called for some
fuel and kindled it by simply blowing
on 1t with his mouth. He also cured
a shepherd who was brought to him
suffering from rheumatic fever, then
and there, by giving him a few grains
Of rice crushed out of the paddy which
he had in his hand"

Not an Epiacopalian,

When Bishop Goldman was appointed
to the Episcopal diocese Of Maine he

pened to stroll into n woodman's cot
tage. Asking the woman Of the house
II there were many Eplscopalians
around there. she replied: well. I

thing out here In the woods couple Of

OUR IGNORANCE.
That II Is Very Real the Things We
Don't Know Prove.

Don't Know Prove.
After all are we not still ignorant
Of much which we feel we ought to
understand? Apart from the great
laws of electricity, light and heat
about which we know something. but
certainly not all, are we not almost
hopelessly ignorant of some of the laws
which govern the lives Of animals? Do
we know, for instance, what is the law
which makes it possible for bee car
ried five or six miles from her home,
blind In a dark box, to ind her way
back to the hive? What is the sense
exercised by the antennae of the vir-
gin moth which, set out In muslin
box on lawn, attracts sutors from
woodlands scattered away in all the
country round? What Is the attraction
felt or choice decided upon by the
tendril of the climbing plant which
turns aside from the smooth wall TO
catch at and wrap round the nail or
the ledge or the projection which Is to
help it upward? All that Is unknown,
hardly even guessed at, and If there is
so great an ignorance of what can be
seen. is it logically to be argued that
there is not greater ignorance Of
what is unseen? One thing at least is
certain-the reality of that ignorance

Texas Wants Canal.

Victoria, Texas, Aug. Sat a state

representatives Of the commercial as

interest the federal government in the
construction of canal for light draft
vessels extending from the Rio
Grande river below Point Isabel to
the city Of Donaldsonville on the Mis-

moters Of the project claim that the

Sponges are prepared for export in
the following manner: After being
bought in the local market they are
carted to the shipping yard of the pur-
chaser. where they are cut and trimmed
into proper shapes and sizes. They are
then washed and thoroughly dried, be-
ng generally spread in the sun for that
purpose upon canvas or old sails. Next
they are assorted according to varie-
ties and then packed by means of hand
presses into bales weighing from 20 to
150 pounds. Sometimes the sponges
are bleached by being passed through
4 solution Of white lime and water so
weak as not to injure the fiber of the
sponge.

Drouth.

The week, like the two preceding
ones, was warm and dry These con,
ditions We're excellent for harvesting Q
grain, and this work was pushed along
with unusual rapidity. Fall wheat
and barley yields continue good, both
i'm quantity and quality, but spring
wheat is not coming up to expecta-
uons, especially in the willamette val
ley, where rust and the aphides were
so plentiful earlier in the season. The
straw of spring wheat and oats was
heavy and the heads, as a rule. of
average size, but the berry in many
cases is shriveled, Which accounts for
the shortage.
Pasturage is very short i'm the val
leys, but it continues fairly good i'm
the mountain ranges, and stock keeps
I'm unusually good condition. All
streams are falling and the water sup
ply for irrigation is getting scarce.
Sugar beets, field onions and early po-
tatoes are making good advancement.
but late potatoes are at a standstill
and need rain badly. Corn is extra
good. Hops show improvement and
the lice have nearly all disappeared.
but growers generally expect yields
below the average, and also a return
of lice with the advent of favora BILE
weather for their propagation.
Early apples are small and the
yields are below the average. Peaches
are being marketed and the crop is
better than expected. The dry wealth
er is causing prunes and plums to
drop more than usual at this season
of the year.

Light on Female Diseases.

What used TO be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. IL has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases Of the
pelvic organs are the cause of most
cases Of femals diseases.
DR.. Hartman was among the first Of
Americas greatest physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to women
and long ago he reached the conclusion
that q woman entirely free from ca
tarrhal affection of these organs would
not be subject 70 female diseases. He,
therefore, began using PerunA for these
cases and found IL 80 admirably adapted
" their permanent cure that Peruna has
now become the most famous remedy
for female diseases ever known. Every
where the women are using IL and prais-
ing IL. PerunR Is not q palliative SIM
plyi it cures by removing the cause Of
female diseases.
PerunA builds up the nerves and re-
stores the appetite and digestion.
Or, Hartman has probably cured more
women OF female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend

Uncle Sam is a nickname given to

nickname, Uncle Sam" as applied 90

to have originated ss follows; Samuel
Wilson, commonly known 40 "Unele
Sam" was q Government inspector OF
meats in Troy, n Y, about 1912. A
contractor, Ebert Anderson, pur-
chased a quantity OF provisions and the
barrels were marked "E. A." Ander-
sons initials, and ~. s." for United
States. The latter initials we're not
familiar to Wilson's workmen. One Of

meant, answered: II don't know, un-
less they mean Uncle Sam" The
joke spread through all the depart
ments Of the Government, and before
long the United States was popularity
