THE WORLD Is TOO MUCH WITH US

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending. we lay waste powers;
Little sec in nature that is ours
We have given our hearts away. a sOrtlid boon!
This sea that barcs her bosom to the moon;
The winds that will be bowling at all hours,
And up gathered now like sleeping flowers
For this. for everything, are out OF tune:
II moves us not-l;reat God! I'd rather be
A Pagan sucked in a creed outworn,

Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea.
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn!

0utterrl,k > Life saver.

A French medical man advises
people to drink buttermilk for long
life. He says that the Tactic acid
dissolves every sort of earthly depos-
It in the blood vessels, keeping the
veins and arteries SO supple and free
running that there can be no clog
ging up, and hence there is no de-
posit of chalky matter around the
joints or of poisonous waste in the
muscles. 1t is the stiffening and
hardening of the blood vessels
which bring on old age. Butter
milk is likely to postpone it ten or
twenty years if freely drunk. A
quart q day should be the mini
mum, the maximum according TO
taste and opportunity.

Civilized people when they listen

Captain Guy Burrows. A white man
one evening tried to explain TO
some members of an African tribe,
the Mobunghi, the wonders Of the
steam engine and steamship. He
drew diagrams on the sand, and the
audience listened and looked with
apparently intense interest. At last
he asked his hearers whether they
understood. YES" they repheds
they thought they did.

THE POST ROADS.

Under the provisions of the Road bond
ing bill on which the people will vote on
June s, there is provided II post road across
Malheur county to Burns, and one over the
divide and down the John Day river to the
Columbia highway. These post roads are
to be built in part by the revenues to be de-
rived under the proposed law, from automo-
bile licenses, and in part from the United
States government fund.
Not one cent of the money used in build
ing the roads proposed under the law in Nal
heur county will have to come from the tax
PAYERS. unless they happen To have automo-
bilcS, and only half of that will be derived in
the state. The balance comes from the Unit
ed States road funds.
And it is also well to bear in mind that
unless the state makes provision for match
ing this government money not one cent will
come to this section,
