Remedies That May BE Found In Ma
lures Drug Stores.
If chemists and druggists disappear
ed from the face of the earth humanity
could still worry along with the simple
remedies which nature yields, prac-
tically ready made. There is nothing
to beat rhubarb juice as cure for
govt or rheumatism except water from
medicinal springs. All kinds Of scurvy
and blood poisoning yield to the juice
Of lemons or of lines, which are the
greatest blood purifiers in existence.
Even doctors acknowledge that nat
ural, fresh cream from cows milk can
give points to cod liver oil and similar
nasty liquids in treating consumption.
Common mustard used as a plaster or
poultice is the best cure for a cold on
the chest, and the white of an egg with
sugar is the finest medicine for hoarse-
ness To cure burn an application of
the white skin that lines the shell of
an egg is unbeatable, while the raw
yolk is a capital tonic. In fact, gar
dens and roadsides are full of herbs of
which the juice or leaves afford rene
dies or palliatives for almost every dis
ease to which humanity is heir.-New

Taxes paid before March Is carry a
rebate of per cent. Half payments
may be made at any time prior to
June l. and second half payments may
be made before December L.. If no
payments are made taxes become de-
linquent on June 1, when they carry

date from June /,
In these days payments are made
more promptly and many people avail

Taxpayers will probably find but
little difference in the amount of their
taxes this year over those of last gear.
If anything taxes have been slightly
increased in the city and reduced cor
respondingly in the county, although
this may not hold good in all cases.
The change, in any event, is not very
great unless the assessor changed his
figures from those of last year.

Luminous Centipeds.

Lizard, snake and natural electric
light plant all rolled into one-this is
the luminous centiped. one of the most
interesting creatures in nature. 1t is
about one and a quarter inches long
and covered with short hairs. Its body
is very narrow and appears to be in
sections. In consequence of this pecul-
lar formation the creature appears to
move sidewise except when frightened.
Then the natural electric light plant
feature appears, and, with an almost
instantaneous wavelike motion, begin
ming at the tail, the color of the reptile
changes from orange to a greenish
phosphorescent shade. Then, sparkling
with tiny streak of green light, the
creature darts away to a place Of ref.
uge. When one of the pair is in search
Of it's mate, the color grows a bright
yellow, but at will the centiped can re-
sumo its darker color. and then. if ".

POWER OF PERFUMES.

Nerves and Brain.

The Way Various scents Act On the
Nerves and Brain.
Nearly all perfumes have antiseptic
nuaiities and are valuable in keeping
away infection.
The perfumes which are the most
agreeable to the sense are not always
the most helpful to the nerves. Am
bergris, for instance, is positively Of
fensive to many, yet it is said to pos
sess a wonderful power of clearing the
brain and driving away the blues. On
the other hand, altar of roses. with the
suggestion of glowing suns and gor-
geous eastern colors, predisposes to
tears.
A faint odor of musk acts as tonic,
for which the best antidote is the OdOr
of sandalwood. The fragrance of cit
ron is as soothing to nervous folk as
the sound of faroff music.
The scent of orange flowers is so de-
pressing to the action of the heart that
it is not safe for any one with disease
Of that organ to inhale it for any
length of time. Reviving perfumes
come from herbaceous plants largely,
from the odOrs Of mignOnette. rose
mary and lavender, and soothe the
nerves.
The perfumes of lilies, jasmine and
acacia are pleasant and soothing to a
healthy sense, though delicate Nerves
cannot enjoy them even in their garden

at the smell Of them and may be put
into heavy slumber, as if drugged by
their odor.-London Express.

His Seattle Record.
Creighton is known to the Seattle

last night as there was nothing for it to
connect with.
Besides the two washouts west of

tomorrow.

The w. & c. r. company is not as
great a sufferer by the floods. The
principal trouble on that line is in Van

the line. A serious washout occurred
there last night. A work train left
Hunts Junction this morning and it is
expected that the damage will be re-
paired by tomorrow night.
The train on the Oregon branch was

annulled tomorrow. All rail cOmmuni-

cut off today.

WOMAN BURNED TO CRISP.
Ghastly Corpse Greets Husband-N,
Fire In Her Room.

P1TTSBURG. Feb. ALBERT Houck
found the body of his wife lying on a
table of her room burned to crisp
when he returned home from work late
last night.
The police and coroner are making
a rigid investigation. but have failed to
reach a definite conclusion. Their frs.
theory of accidental death was ADAM
doned when it was discovered that
nothing else in the room was burned.
not even the table on which the wom-
an was found.
When the womans husband arrived
home the doors were all locked. all the
lights in the house We're out and he
was compelled to climb through n
cellar window.
Whether the woman met with foul
play or not, the police are reluctant TO
say. but considerable mystery sur
rounds the death.
