Destruction By Gntaiihoppera.
Chas. Chapman, of McKay creek, to
dny informed the East Oregonian that
the grasshoppers are eating the crops
in his neighborhood.. He says they have
eaten a 30-aere field of alfalfa for Perry
Hoaser and destroyed crops for others.
Uron Stewart creek the damage is quite
as eerioui. Mr. Chapman says also that
the grasshoppers are not so large as
those he saw in Kansas, but are very
email and cannot yet fly. The amount
of damage done will be considerable,
thinks Mr. Chapman, and a large
amount of hay will not be cut, on ac
count of the alfalfa being eaten by the
peats. La Grande Chronirle.
JUDGING BY APPEARANCES.

' Slurried Women.
' He was still young enough, to know
everything-, and while they waited for
a oar he was giving her his opinions on
various subjects. As for her, she was
so interested that she didn't know her
feet were cold and forgot that the wind
was blowing her hair out of curl.
"Yes," he was saying, "you may talk
as you please about your bachelor
maids, but I can tell an. old maid from
a married woman by a glance. How do
I manage it? Oh, it's easy enough. I
can just tell her by her looks, and I am
never mistaken."
"Yon were always bo clever," she
murmured. "Now, I am sure I aevei
could doit. To be sure, a married wom
an usually r puts on a bonnet sooner
than an old maid does, but then some
old maids affect bonnets, and I have
seen a grandmother in a Bailor hat, so
that isn't a sure test." t
r "Oh, it isn't a matter of headgear
with me, I assure you," he replied, in
a patronizing tone. "Here, Til let you
see me do it. Look at the two women
yonder, now. That tall one is an old
maid beyond a doubt. In the aggressive ;

of her mouth. I know, as well as if 1 1

LIVING
Tha Physical
TOO r-ASi.
Condition of the American
People.
There are two most undesirable
things that belong to' the physical side
jf our nation, and one is very largely
ieiwndent upon the other if not the
jutgrowth of -it. Theso are the iis
sase called neurasthenia, better under
itood if we call it tired-out-nerves, and
the other the serious defects of vision
which we all recognize indeed the oc
olists (and they are not ' responsible
for it) aro fast transforming us into a
spectacled nation.
The rush and bustle of this American
V.fe is too much for us. We live too fast,
;at, sleep, and die too fast. Our civili
zation u ttikes us live fast. We are -i
quick-fort u no-making people. Wall
street has shown us how fortunes can be
made in a day and lost in a day. To ac
quire the one and avoid the other has
made many men of 40 assume the ap
pearance of men of 80. It is safe to say
that Wall street end the peculiar kind
ol fever generatea in simitar localities
affords one of the most serious menaces
to the people of this country and I do
not except social vices and the evils of
liquor.
And yet every college gymnasium in
i the country, every Young Men's Chris
tian, association, is at, worK measuring
and testing its members, and theTesults
of these measurements and tests will
return to us much of value. From
them we shall learn what we. have ol
physical value in certain classes of our
population. True, they come from se
lected classes and do not by any means,
cover the whole ground, and yet- they
iro most important to the student of
anthropology. Our police records, too,
are becoming of more value in that
from them we learn more of the
physical make-up of the criminal class.
In many of our large cities, pursuant
to a plan adopted in France and Bel
gium and other continental countries,
exact measurements as well as photo
graphs of all criminals are made.
While this is done largely as a means of
identifying later, still it is giving to us
sertain physical characteristics which
oan, almost be called constants of the
criminal class. Prof. E. Hitchcock, Jr.,

It Requires Tact to Boy Timber Land la
the Mountains. '
It requires time and tact to buy moun
tain land. The, following is a typical
experience as rec ted to a Star reporter
by a timber land buyer:
"I was riding along Tug river, in Ken
tucky, when I saw a tract of land upon
which I concluded ; t would pay to erect
a small sawmill. I hunted up the owner,
finding him seated on a log fishing.
"'Do you own this land?
" 'Sh, stranger fust bite I've hed.'hs
answered, in a stage whisper. In about
a minute he caught a Ash, and 1 repeat
ed my question.
" 'Got any baccer?' he asked. I gave
him a chew, and in a few minutes he
said: 'Which land?'
"'That along the road for a mile
.back.' i - ' ,
" 'Yaas.' ' -
"'How much have you? '"'--
" Whar yo' frum?' ''-':-
."'Chicago. How much land have
you?' "'"'.' '. ' ;
" 'Five thousand acres., :
" 'What do' you ask for it?
" 'Waal, it's worth $20 an acre, but fer
'cash I'll swap fer $10 an acre. Kain't tal k
about it now. Hev ter ketch fish ' fer
supper.' ' : ' . " ; ..:
"I sat on the log beside him for three
hours, neither of us saying a word, un
til he rose and started forhome, while
I mounted my horse and followed.
That night I got so far as to see his
deed for the land and get a description.
" 'It may be a leetle short, he" said,
'an' I reckon I'd take $40,000 fer it with
out surveyin'."
' "No inducement would move - him
from that figure', so I went on to the
rat tract, which I did not want, the
timber being too thin. : ' - -::
" 'How much does Phillips want for
his land ?' I asked. .

" 'How much is there of iT-'
t "Thousan acres.''. : " ; ;

. AN AMUSING HAT STORY.
It Besotted In Heating the Heads Instead
of CooUnf.
' Necessity is the mother of invention.
and among those which this hot weath-
er has called into existence chapeaux a
glace are perhaps the most ingenious
and extraordianry. . This new article
"is neither more nor , less than a top hat
fitted with an inner apartment for the
reception of a fair-sized lump of ice,
wbich freshens the layer of air about
thchcad, and is yet so- thoroughly
waterproof teat you may wear it for
hours after the !jC' is thawed without
experiencing the slightest discomfort.
An individual wha, wise in his genera
tion, v. as provided with one of these
head-refreshers took his seat outside a
cafe on one of the boulevards the other
afternoon, shortly after the dinner
hour. -The scats on the sidewalk were
almost all taken, and he was about to
retire in dudgcoDi when the' waiter es-
nied a free table and invited him to
take it Aftcf he hod freely indulged
in bocks of Munich beer, it occurred to
him that now was the time to renew
the ice in his hat. No sooner thought
than done. He poursd cot the water
from the rcceiitaclc, and then noticed
that there was no ice about, whereupon
he replaced his hat on. the ground and
called , out to the waiter, who usually
takes a good deal of calling at that busy
hour of the day. lleacwhile another
individual.'whose luriosity was moved
by the strange spectacle of water issu
ing from a silk hat surreptitiously
took the headgear in his hand, inspect
ed it, and put it back, but not, as it
chanced, in exactly the same . plqpe.
Now, there wcrp many top hats on the
ground at the moment, for the heat was
excessive, and the bulk of the visitors
had indulged in abundant dining, and
were eager to l;e refreshed. When at
last the ice came, the gentleman for
whom it was intended was busy con
versing with - a friend ' who had just
arrived, 60 he took the ice in his hand,
and, without looking under the table,
temporarily placed it, as he thought, in
the watertight receptacle of his patent
topper, intending to arrange it proper
ly later on. ' ' ' .'
But the conversation 'was long and
interesting,' and might not have ended
as abruptly as it did bat for an unfore
seen accident. .-A neighbor of thp pos
sessor of the patent hat, havingpaid the
waiter, leisurely donned his own silk
headgear,-rose up, stretched himself,
and then exclaimed hurriedly to a
friend: "Tiens! . it is killing hot this
evening, the perspiration is coming
ofT my head in torrents!" "Ah, yes;
it's enough to make, a man melt where
he stands and leave nought but a stag-
cant pool to mark tho pla3e he occu
pied," replied the friend. "Do- -you
know what it is, mon ami?" said the
other, in a sepulchral tone, as he slow
ly resumed his seat. "I am seriously ill.
That accursed fever. that I contracted
in Greece is on me again, and I. feel
as if Good heavens, look at that?"
he exclaimed, as little streamlets of
icy cold water flowed rapidly over his
eyes, nose and chin on- to his white
pique waistcoat. Hisccopanion looked
in theer amazement r.t the horror
stricken face of his friend, which was
.nr. pale as a sheet. Then he said: "We
hud better drive heme at cnee. What
ever havcyou been eating for dinner?
Not imishrooins,'l hope? But first take
off your hat and unbutton your vest."
The moment the hat was removed -a
large chunk of bluish ice dropped into
the wineglass on the table, knocking it
on to the ground, where it Smashed
with a loud crash that aroused the at
tention of the, public. "Millie ton
uerres!" cried the white vested indi
vidual; 'what mauvais drole has been
trying to play his practical jokes on
me? What the is th's?" he contin
ued, looking at the ratcnt headeo'ver
ing; and then.ina fit of pnssibn.hecaved
in the unoffending crown against his
humid knee. "Xom d'une pipe," shout
ed the owner of the chapeau a glace,
"how dare you treat my property in
that unceremonious fashion? I . will
leach you manners;" and with that he
seized upon a hat that lay near the of.
fender, and reduced it to a shapeless
pulp. "Mais, mon Dien! that's my
property," exclaimed a.thin) individual,
putting his face provokirgly up beside
ihat of the other. '-What right have
you, monsieur 1 ?" "He is a madman,
who carries ices u:d soups in his hat

These guns are to be placed ou what is
commonly known as Lorg Island Head..
situated on 'the eastern end of Long
Island. The department has appointed
Lieut. Mcriwcc.hc-X. Wi'.lkcr to cstist
Lieut. Col. Mansfield in placing the guns
in positioj, and to aid generally in car
rying out the plans as fur as the fort'fy-
intj of tho harbor is concerned. '..Tor

the early 4iart of this year woik was al
rcody begun r!i i'i:ih the preliminary
arrangements for it, and tbi excavating
has alisoct' been completed.' There is
no doubt but that the department in
tends to push the work as rapidly as
possible, now that the necessary appro
priation is available. : :
The earrings for the first ten-inch
gun is tiemg built at tue otertown
arsenal, and will be ready in the near
future for shipment to Long Island.
Lieut. CoL Mansfield has advertised for
propasals for cement, sand and stone
for the buttery at that place, and they
will be opened at his oflicc in the post
ofiiee builuinpr at noon on August 13.
from present indications the work will
be completed on or about December 1.
It is stated that there is the same ac
tivity displayed, in other cities as well as
in Uostou; and at the present time all
the' government stations where gnus
and 'carriages can be manufactured are
in full operation. A large number of
contracts have ali been made with pri
vate, firms in different parts of the
cduntry for the manufacture of both
guns and carriages. There is no doubt
in. the minds of the ofliciais that I he
slight controversies that the f United
States governmnent has had with for
eign countries has awakened an interest
n the matter of strengthening the dif
ferent harbors for defense, and it is as
signed as one reason why there is so
much' haste in fortifying them with
modern guns. , ' ' ' .
- In the last six months, it is stated on
excellent uu'hority, the Watertown ar-
jeiial has shipped about 50 gun-car-
einj-cs to various harbors in the United
states. Among these arc the s:x or
eight that were placed in position at
Foit Warren in Boston harbor a' few
weeks "ago. Others were sent to San
Francisco, New York, Uhode Island and
u'ther places. There is other evidence
that the department is defirous of bav-
higlbe tarbois fortified as soon as possi
