ASTORIA, OREGON: FRIDAY. .MARCH 23. lhSS The curvature of the earth is such that a straight lino ouo mile long would be two and our-hundrcths inches from tho surface at either end. Tnn average time of 3,000 business men at their down-town luncheon, is eight minutes. This is a matter of record in a leading restaurant in New York. Phiiadelphia has a new Church called "The Socialist Church,"' Every member takes the following cevenant: "I hereby solemnly swear that I will not rob, cheat, strike, tell lies about, communicate disease to, norinjure in any way, a fellow member of this Church. I also swear that I will drink distilled and fermented liquors with ereat caro and moderation. I also swear that I will not lend money to nor borrow money from any mem ber of this Church, except as a regu lar business transaction. I also swear that, as far as I am able, I will keep my body, clothes and dwelling in a cleau and healthy condition." But why to '-this Church," and not to ev erybody? It is curious that so little attention has been paid by the press of this country to the burning question which is at present agitating the peoplo of Scandinavia. It is not exaggerating matters to stato that the country is on the verge of a civil war, tho nation be ing divided into two hostilo sections, tho question at issuo being whether polygamy shall be recognized as a legal institution. Tho liberals, under M. Nisscn, who is a divino and prcsi dent of the National Temperance union, are agitating in favor of the adoption of polygamy; tho conserva tives arc striving as resolutely against its recognition. A very strango fea hire of the struggle is that tlio peas ant women have, as a rule, ranged themselves with tho would-be polyga mists. Tho king and the aristocracy are doing all they can to put down tho agitation, but M. Nisseu has tho masses with him, and it is certainly difficult to see how tho afiair will end. Mean while the country is flooded with lit erature bearing on the subject, of the most realistic character, and little elso is thought of or talked about Senator Vance's Little Story. At a meeting several weeks ago of tho Gridiron club, senator Vance was called on to spea, and ho spoke. He referred to the press, of course, and the boys tried to choke him off, but ho wouldn't be choked. Ho said ho had heard always of tho power of tho press, but until now had never been behind tho scenes and looked upon what tho real power was, and it re minded hira of a story. On ono occa sion a farmer in North Carolina took his boy to a railroad station to let him see, for tho first time, a train. The boy looked at it in open-mouthed wonder, and the old man showed him all tho main features. "Look thar, ho said, "thar'a all them cars, any of 'em bigger'n the honso we live in, and all loaded fall, and weighin' inore'n forty haystacks, and that iugine up thar swirls 'em along about fiftv mile an hour and don't half try." "Yes, dad," murmured tho boy, about halt frightened. "And thar's more power than a hun dred boss teams, and it goes on er it stops, jist a3 they want it to." "Who handles it, dad?" The father took tho boy up to the engine and showed him the engineer, a little greasy, dirty, good-for-nothing looking chap with a skull cap oil his head and a cigar stump in his mouth. .The boy looked him over carefully, looked at the engine, tho long train, and then at his father, and giving a hort of sniff, he said: " ell, it don t take inncli of a man to run it, do it, dad?" A Boy's Trne Heroism. In the Bodleian library at Oxford is a most touching record of heroism and a self-sacrihca on the part ot a child a record to tonch one's heart with pathos. Tho tower door of St Leonard's chnrch, Bridgewater, En gland, was left open, and two young boys wandering in, were tempted to mount to the upper part and scram ble from beam to beam. All at once a joist gave way. The beam on which they were standing became displaced. The elder had just timo to grasp it when falling, while the younger, slip ping over his body, canght hold of his comrade's legs. In this fearful position the poor lads hung, crying vainly for help, for no one wa3 near. At length tho boy clinging to the beam becamo exhausted. Ho could no longer support tho weight He called out to tho lad below that they were both done for. "Could you save yourself if I were to let go?" replied the little lad. "I think I could," returned the older. "Then good-bye and God bless you P' replied tho littlo fellow, loosing his hold. Another second and he was dashed topieces on the stone floor below. His companion clambered to a place of safety. All the patent medicines advertised In this paner, together with the choicest perfumery and toilet articles, etc-can be bought at the lowest prices, at J. W. Conn's drug store, opposite Ocildent he tel Astoria. FASHIOX XOTES OF HATS. Crowns arc lower, and broad and flat at the top. There are no more pointed crowns. Many turbans have bell-shaped crowns. These hats tur bans or toques, will be very much worn for general use. Some have up-rolling brims faced with velvet; others have a narrow rim lying close to the head. Theso last, trimmed with one and sometimes two broad Alsatian bows, make a very becoming, cap like coiffure. For more ceremonious occasions there will doubtless bo worn a great many picturesque broad brimmed hats. A favorite shape in this style leaves the brim straightand wide in tho front and on the sides, and narrows it toward tho back where the ribbon knots and feathers areus ually placed. An English braid in a warm tone of brown is trimmed, how ever, although of this shape in the front, and solely with ribbons of two shades of mordoro which are after wards drawn toward the back, where are more bows. A grey, also an En glish straw i3 trimmed very high on one side, in a modified Gainsborough with two large curving, ombra gray plumes, and larire knots piled liign nbove tho moderately low flat crown. Two Leghorns, for later ii the season call for a special mention, they are so pretty. Both are straight on tho side3 and over tho face, and bent fan tastically in tho back. One has start ed fromthe center of tho back, two long feathers, one yellow, tho other electric bine, which set tlos-a dos half way up divide finally over the top of the crown, one curving toward one side, the other toward tho other. Massed up uudcrncalh are ribbons of electric blue and yellow, nnd depending from the back long streamers of the two shades. The second hat has yellow feathers, shaded to the palest straw, toward the tips, which are bronght round one side of tho crown from tho base to tho front. In the back are bows of two shades of yellow. Yards upon yards are required to properly trim any of tho spring and summer hats. Colonel Steele'?. Prowess. Col. J. M. Steele, one ot Tacoma's councilmen at tho present time, is a bis man, physically speaking at least, and a prosperous one, too, since Washington territory began to boom. He was formerly a resident of Doni phan county, Kansas, and tho follow ing interesting story about him from tho Kansas Chief the doughty colo nel does not deny: "Where Col. Steele got the name of 'Jim' wo do not know. It was after he left here, nnd went to Wichita. His namo is John Marion always known as Marion Steele. Steele was perhaps the most powerful man, physically, that ever lived in Kansas, and with scientific training would no doubt bo more than a match for Sul livan. A friend of ours some time ago met a man who had been a cap tain in a Pennsylvania regiment, dur ing the war. to which Steele also be longed. At the close of the war they marehed to Washington to bo paid off and mustered out. Most of the boys in the army had grown a little tough, and when they got out were inclined to run the town and to scatter their money pretty freely. Ono night the captain had been doing the town as the soldiers often did. At a late hour he encounted in a public resort some half dozen men who seemed to be roughs from about town. They took occasion to insult him, and when he retorted, they all bounced him. There ho was, not knowing whether there was n soul in the house that he knew. He placed his back against the wall. ready to defend himself as best he could. They closed around him and just as they were about to make a dive for him he noticed the door of a stair way leading from above into the room slowly open, and the head of Marion Steele was poked out, and then the huge proportions of his body came into view. Ho seemed to take in the situation at a glance, for jumping in among them, he set the arm of his threshing machine at work, and in about two seconds that crowd were sprawling on the floor in every direc tion. 'I tell you, just at that moment l wonia rather have seen Marion Steele than the Supreme Being !' " Renews IlerYoiitli. 3Irs.rhccbc Chesley, Peterson, Clay Co., Iowa, tells the following story, the truth of which is vouched for by the residents of the tewn: "I am 73 years om, nave ocen trouuieu wan Kinney complaint and lameness for manv jears: could not dress myself without help.

Whv so many deviate from a graceful carriage may be accounted for in as many ways as there are mis shapen beings, ana even the common neglect of moderate exerciso by lazy mortals is often the cause of lame backs. MUSCULAR WEAKNESS. Lame Back. The spinal column is the main-stay of the body, which stiffens up the straight man or woman, and nature has provided muscular supports to hold it erect with ease.
