The care of the complexion has be come an accomplishment that no lady of refined tastes can afford to ignore, and in leading society circles it claims asmuoh thought as do tho fashions, It is an acknowledged fact that the variations of our climate are very se vere on the complexion, noticeable by a roughness and dryness of the skin, and to counteract this effect it be comes necessary to call in the aid of art. In the selection of this agent too much care cannot be exercised. It is well known to the chemist that many of the so-called "blooms," "balms," 'creams," etc., "contain lead and other poisonous substances, the long-continued use of which is dan gerous. Wisdom's Bobertine is guar anteed under forfeiture of S1.000, to be absolutely free from poisonouB substances. If you have not yet tried it, do so at once, and bo ono of the hundreds who pronounce it -the most delightful 'toilet 'article ever pro duced. Wisdom's Bobertine is sold at fifty ccns per bottle. Sold by W. E. Dement & Co. Emptv Ih the Grave; The Body's Gone. In the Hillside cemetery is a grave which is doubtless the oldest marked of any north of San Francisco. Tho me morial is a sandstone slab, on which is recorded that he who sleeps beneath bore the name of McTavish, and that he was buried there in 1814. Astobian. The gravestone bearing the name McTavish and date 18U was taken to Hillside cemetery in 185L An ac count of the removal is furnished by Mr. A.B. Phelps, who at the time was a soldier under Major Hathaway and went to Astoria from Fort Van couver in 1851. $he Officers' quarter werethen in what is now known as the Welch neighborhood, Ihen the location of a small cemetery. More room being necessary to accommodate the troops, it as decided to move the bodies and headstones to what is now Hillside cemetery. When the Mc Tavish stone was reached, excavation discovered no remains or appearance of any having been buried beneath or very near the stone. As a coffin had been provided for the remains and a new grave dug, the officer in charge ordered the coffin filled with earth, placed in the grave- and the stone moved over it. This was done, and since 1851 the stone has been over a grave containing earth and pine boards only, yet the visitor has shown all the respect to the empty grave that would be shown one 'known to be filled. Mr. Phelps savs McTavish was a Hudson Bay man, the name be ing quite famliiar in connection with that company. That he died and was buried there in 1814 is not ques tioned. No doubt the body was af terward taken up and sent to rela tives or friends. Oregonian, 14. Excitement in Texas, Great excitement has been caused in the vicinity of Paris, Tex., bv the re markable recovery of Air. J. . Corley, who was so helpless he could not turn in bed, or raise his head; everybody said he was dying of Consumption. A trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery was sent him. Finding relief, he bought a large bottle and a box of Dr. Kings's New Life Pills ; by the time lie had taken twp boxes of Pills and two bottles of the Discovery, he was well and had gained in flesh thirty-six pounds. Trial bottles of this Great Discovery for Consumption free atvY. E. Dement &Co. Anything to Amuse the Baby. A few days ago two ladies, one of whom carried a baby, entered a car pet store and signified their desire to look at some carpets. It was a very warm day, but the salesman cheer-' fully showed roll after roll, until the perspiration literally streamed from every pore in his body. Finally one of the ladies asked the other if she did not think it was time to co. "Not quite," was the answer of her companion, and then, in an under tone, she added, "Babj likes to see him roll them out and it is not time to take the train yet.'' Ex. Tlie Verdict Unanimous. V. D.
