Frult as a Corrective Diet.

Common fruits are not properly ap-
preciated as food. They have dietic
value and plenty of il. Fruits supply
a diversity of sugar acids and the ne
cessary waste of bulky material for
the aiding of the intestinal movement.
Fruits and fruit juices keep the blood
in healthy condition.

Killed by a Tran,

W. X. Coughlin was killed on the
railroad track Saturday night just be-
low the freight depot by the passenger
train due here from the west at 10 .lO.
The engineer Of the train reported
to the night operator that he thought
chat perhaps he had struck someone,
but was not certain, and the operator
went down and looked around, but
saw no one. The next morning he in
formed Agent Boyle, who summoned
Undertaken Nichols, and the two went
down the track at six O'Clock and dis
covered the body of W. X. Coughlin,
section foreman at Viento, lying about
30 feet from the main track, where he
had been struck and thrown by the
engine. The body was badly bruised,
the right thigh and wrist being brok-
en- and the chest bruised. The man
evidently died from internal injuries
received.
The BODY as taken to Nichols un-
dertaking rooms and put into casket,
and then taken to the home of the
family at Viento. Monday morning
the remains we're brought here and in.
tered in ldlewild cemetery. The 10,
cal camp of Nj. W. A. held services at
the grave under their ritual. The de
ceased was member of the order, but
not of the local lodge.

Nav York Fruit Man NIs.ln Hood Rlyer.

Horace W. Day, of Sgobel ~ Day,
New York, visited Hood River Friday.
Mr.. Day has been making tour of
inspection over the various fruit sec.
tions of the country, and came here
from California He reports that there
will be good crop of apples all over
the country. Watsonville has a big
crop. The Rogue River valley has a
good crop, and a large irrigation
ditch is being put in at Medford that
will irrigate the orchards and no
doubt increase the size of the apples
The Rogue River Newtowns have al.
ways been rather small in size, and
irrigation will no doubt help them.
PSaIs in California promise good
crop, but will be more or less affected
with scab. Peaches will be a short
crop in all the peach districts. The
strawberry crop in Missouri is about
the average.

Comic Opera Under Circus Tent.

Among circus owners it has come to
be tradition that Norris Il Rowe,
the young western circus owners,
never do anything that some one else
has done if they can possibly avoid it.
They have gone into new territory and
strange places that no other show had
the temeIity to attempt. They we're
the first American circus to invade
the Republic OF Mexico and now they
introduce for the Sery first time a
complete little comic opera under can
vas. 1t is given upon the elevated
stage by thirty demure young women
headed by the clever singers Alice
Bradner, NJ lie Glover and the Dewar
Sisters. The title of the one act oper.
etta is called "Ihe Serenaders. " The
costuA es and special scenery are pic
turesque in the eXtreme the music
catchy and tuneIul, Slgnor Gelsler
the clever equestrian director has
shown his ability also as ballet mas
ter and has arranged series of pretty
dances for the young women, and
they seem to enter rs heartily into the
enjoyment of the mazes of the dance
and the catchy music as the large au
dianoe. At the night performance,
a new operetta is given. This time
the girls appear in a one act cOmedi-
eta entitled, my Lady Nicotine. "
1t is just as attractive as 'The Seren-
aders. " Norris a. Rowe deserve CON
siderable credit in getting away from
the beaten paths and introducing
something new and stirring in the
world of the arena. The new and
q eater Norris & Howe circus will ex-
hibit at The Dalles on Saturday, May

The first nails were undoubtedly
the sharp teeth of various animals.
Then, it is believed, pointed frag-
ments of flint followed. The first
manufactured metal nails were Of
bronss. The nail with which Jael
killed Sisera was q wooden tent pin,
probably pointed with iron. Bronze
nails have been found in the Swiss
lake dwellings in several places in
France and in the valley Of the
Nile. Until the last century iron
nails were forged, a blacksmith be-
ing able to make only two or three
dozen a day. The first cut nails
were made by Jeremiah wilkinson
in Rhode Island in 1775. The first
pabented nail machine was by Per
kins, 1895, and its product Of 200,-
900 nails a day was considered so
enormous that some persons deemed
the result due to supernatural
agency. Many improvements in
nailmaking machines, greatly in
creasing the quantity and quality
of their output, have been made in
recent times.

Didn't Bother Them.

During the campaign of 1892
Senator Vest spoke facing the
grand stand on the Moberly fair
grounds. The management was
conducting horse races, and be-
tween the cheering of the winners
and for tho laboring orator things
were lively. At the close of a par
ticularly exciting heat, during
which everybody howled himself
hoarse, Vest mopped his brow and,
turning to the tumultuous crowd
about him, remarked, with mild sar-
casm:
Gentlemen, perhaps I'd better
wait till the racing is over"
A big stalwart son Of Missouri,
who was clinging to post and wav-
ing his hat frantically at the win
ming rider, happened to hear the
observation. Then his generosity
beamed.
"Go ahead, senator, with your lit
tie talkp he yelled. "Yoa amt

A Suhstitute.

Little Helen, aged four, was IN a
frightful predicament. The nurse,
carrying the cherished two-weeks-
old baby up and down before the
house, had paused to show the new
infant to the bishop, who had asked
to look at it. And then the tall,
grave bishop, of whom Helen stood
greatly in awe, had Unexpectedly
asked the little girl to give him the
baby. How in the world to refuse
a request made by such an awe in
spring person as the bishop the
child did not know. But presently
she wrinkled her small countenance
shrewdly, moved closer to the petit
toner, and said, ingratiatingly, "Tll
let you have the next. "-Harper's

The Forbidden.

A noted clergyman and author
was talking to a group of young
men.
"Half the wrong things you chaps
d." he said, "you only do because
they are forbidden. If you didn't
know they were forbidden, if you
didn't know they were wrong, they
would only seem to you disgusting
and repugnant.

a beautiful park.
"Iook here l said to one Of the
guards, why do you have "Keep OF
the Grass" signs all over the park !?
You don't seem to enforce the rule
"No, SIR said the guard. The
object of the sign is to cause the
people to more thoroughly enjoy be-
ing on the grass"

NATURE AS AN ARTIST.
Some Wonderful Pictures That Have
Appeared on Stone.


Pliny, a well known writer OF
about the time of Christ, mentions
having seen an agate the lines and
markings of which formed per-
feet picture of Apollo and the nine
muses.. Pliny says that the little
children recognized it on sight. In
this wonderful natural picture as
well as the artificial drawings Apol-
10 was represented seated in the
midst of the muses. harp in hand.
Majolus, another writer of high
standing, saw an agate in the collec-
ton of a joweler at Venice which,
when polished, showed perfect pic
ture Of a shepherd with a crook in
hand and cloak thrown loosely over
his shoulders.
In the Church of st. John, at Pr
sa, Italy, there is a piece of stone
heavily marked with red, blue and
yellow spar, the lines representing
an old man with heavy white beard,
with a bell in his hand, seated be-
side a small stream. To the wor-
shippers at st. Johns it is known as
the st. Anthony stone, the picture
upon it being a perfect likeness Of
that saint, even to the minor details
of tunic and bell.
In 1905 some quarrymen in italy
burst open a slab Of marble both
sides of which contained an image
of St. John the Baptist covered
with the skin of camel. Every
thing was true to nature-a single
exception, the saint having been
provided with only one leg and foot.
How, when or upon what pretext
the Turks were allowed to gain pos
session of the wonderful relic the
writer's authority fails to state. 1t
only adds that the miraculous pro-
duction is now in the temple Of St.
Sophia at Constsntinople.
Directly after the great Johns
town food D. S. Wingrove, superin-
tendent of the marble yard at the
penitentisry at Baltimore, found a
slab of marble with lines and veins
which made perfect picture Of the
fated city Of Johnstown and the
surrounding country. The sky Is
plainly marked, as are also the hills
and mountains surrounding the
town. Piles upon piles Of ruins are
marked, with an occasional steeple
or topping wall oyerhanging the
scene Of awful destruction. Taken
all in all, the scientists consider 1t
one of the NEST wonderful natural
formations ever found in America.
