chasing a rabbit on bis bicycle. He
was out Sunday back of the city, taking
a spin all by himself and imbibing the
mountain air, when he saw a rabbit in
the road a short distance off. He started
after the rabbit in a playful way, not
-expecting to catch him. The rabbit
shook bis long ears at Mr. Eleeman, as
if to say, "You ain't in it." Mr. Klee
sian put on more steam, and was rapidly
overhauling the creature when it jumped

man had been so intent in the chase
that he did not see there was a bill
ahead of him, and, when he did, it was
too late, and down he went, and, as he
reached the bottom, he encountered an
Eastern Oregon sand bank, which
stopped the bicycle, but not the man on
it. Mr.
Kleeman plunged over his
wheel
.and plowed in the sand some
distance. When he did stop he found
his left arm badly bruised and his
clothes cearly torn off. He limped back
borne, considerably domoralized. No
bones were broken. Oregon ian.
Xha Sclo Colonists.
A. W. Lang, business manager of tbe
Scio colony, speaking to a representative
. of the Silverton Appeal of the proposed
methods of the colony, says that there
will be about 200 families or about 1000
people In all, who will come from tbe
Eastern states and settle on the tract of
land two and one-half miles from Scio,
in Linn county. It is a company in
which all are owners. .
Mr. Lang has just completed tbe sur
vey of tbe land. The company owns
16. miles square of level farming land,
Almost all in cultivation.
Each family will be alloted a certain
portion of the land to cultivate. Tbe
company will operate two large sawmills
of their own, to furnish lumber for
building purposes. The colonists will
plant 1000 acres in hops. They will set
out 800 acres in prunes, all of one va-q
riety, and will have 100 acres in straw
berries, 100 in raspberries, beside a large
amount of other small fruits and vege
tables. They intend to purchase 500
choice cows for a dairy, and expect by
extra care and nrooer feeding, to mike
an article of cheese that will command
the top price in the markets.

In Praise or eills.
The following which is clioped from
theOregonian, is a remarkable utter
ance for that paper. It is the first words
of praise for Ellis we have ever seen in
that paper:
The persistent work of Representative
Ellis was fruitful fn securing for Oregon
cattle and sheepmen the privilege of
pasturing their herds and flocks on the
forest reserve in that state and in stop
ping prosecutions of those that had been
pasturing until it was 'determined what
could be done under the new law gov
erning tbe forest reserves passed by con
gress in tbe sundry civil appropriation
bill. While tbe committee of the Amer
ican academy of sciences' has pointed
out that pasturing doeB a great deal . of
damage to the forest reservations, yet it
has not been determined that all
the damage or even a moiety of it is
from this source, and it Is possible that
the damage is not so great as has been
claimed. At all events, the Oregon
sheep and cattlemen wanted very much
to utilize tbe reserve as pasturage, and
Representative Ellis bent every effort to
secure it for them. He went to the sec
retary of the Interior several times, and
nnaiiy got the uregon derogation to go
in a body and made representations to
the secretary that until tbe new legisla
tion was passed and interpreted he
wished to have the pasturing privilege-
allowed. Secretary Bliss decided that
the Oregon representative was not ask.
ing any more than he was entitled to,
and directed that an order be issued in
accordance with his request.

"SAILOR" TO THE RESCUE.
An Entire Crew Saved by the Intelligence
of a Dog. .
About twelve miles from Halifax,
writes a Canadian correspondent, lies
Cow bay, a picturesque inland sweep of
sea, where on the calmest day the
wares break in long1 Knes of surf and
foam, rushing shoreward with a tumult
and an exhalation of strong, invigorating-
sea air. But under the lash of a
southeast storm the waves come tum
bling furiously landward, towering
mountains hnrh and thundering upon
the sandy coast with a roar that can
be heard miles away.
It was in such a jrale in October, 1891,
that the schooner Dora, laden with
codfish and bound for Halifax from St.
John's, Newfoundland, was driven into
Cow -bay, and on the dangerous shoals
lying some way out. There she lay
laboring heavily, disabled by the loss
of her main topmast, with the sea sweep
ing her deck, breaking- the deck-houses
and bulwarks and smashing the boats.
The crew, fearful of being washed
overboard, lashed themselves to the
standing rigging. They had nothing
on board to signal the shore except a
pneumatic fog-horn, which was kept
moaning out the sounds of distress.
They were heard by a family named
M , living- close to the beach, and by
some fishermen, who all hastened
down to see if anything could be done.
But tbe rope that was flung out time
and again only fell far short into the
sea.
At last, when all efforts seemed in
vain, Mr. M thought of sending out
a line by his dog "Sailor," a fine New
foundland and a powerful swimmer. A
cod line was fastened to his collar.
The noble animal seemed to understand
what was required of him, as with a
bound he bravely answered tbe guiding
hand and voice of his master.
He plunged into the sea, and, though
swept ashore several times by the im
mense waves, at last reached the
schooner, where he was hauled on
board by the shipwrecked crew.
A small rope was fastened to the linr
by those on shore. Next a hawser wa'
sent out and made fast to the main
mast, and then to a tree some way ur
the beach. A cradle made by the crew
was then placed on the hawser, and by
its means all the sailors reached th'
shore.
Deafness Caunut be Cured
bv local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafnese,
and that is bv constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the resnlt, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine casjs out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

PHARAOH.
Oondition of His Kingdom on HIa
Accession.
Egypt Is Desolated and Abandoned to
Invasion from All Lands," Was the
Picture lie Drew Building
Bp Ills Power.
'. Prof. Flinders Tetiie contributes an
account of his discovery of a tablet
which gives the first historic account of
the oppression of the Children of Israel.
Concerning the character of "Pharaoh
of the Hard Heart" Prof. Petrie writes
is follows: A melancholy xirospect he
had seen as he grew up. Ills father had
been active in the earlier years of the
reign; but after about 20 years he
ceased all personal labor, and seems to
have sunk in his fatuous pride into a
mere despot, devoted to perpetuating
his efligies on the monuments, and his
family in the harem. Tbe kingdom
went steadily into decay year after
year, and the old man became more in
dolent and more fatuous, while none of
his sons seems to Lave Been allowed to
take up the reins and save the country.
"Egypt is desolated, and abandoned to
invasion from all lands; the barbarians
overrun its frontier, the revolters in
vade it daily, every country is pillaging
its cities, raiding its dwellings in the
fields and on the river. They abide and
settle there for days and months seat
ed in tbe land; they reach the hills of
middle Egypt. They search
for the corn land, seeking to fiJU'their
bellies; they come to Egypt to "End pro
vision for their mouths."
Such is the melancholy picture drawn
by Merenptah of the state of the coun
try on his accession a striking con
trast to the work of the really great
kings of Egypt, of the Amenhotep and
Thothmes line, who bad handed down
the rule of Syria from father to son un
broken. The continuous record that
we have of Thothmes ni. shows that
every year regularly he went through
Syria to receive -tribute and maintain
his power, taking all the young princes
to be educated in Egypt before they
cairie to act as vassals in their own coun
try. Until he was over 50 this annual
outing was kept up, and his children to
the third and fourth generation re
ceived this dominion in peaceful sucees
sion. But under Rameses all this sta
bility had vanished; a few raids which
did not cover half the previous con
quests of Syria, a treaty on equal terms
with the foe, and the boastful king sunk
into an inglorious lethargy, in which
even Egypt itself was largely given np
to the foreigners.
And this decay was what had eaten
into the soul of Merenptah during all
his vouth and vigor; until he w-as at
least 40 nothing could be done by him
It was not until the old king had come
to that condition which we can now see
before our eyes in the Cairo museum-
a withered mummy, which seems as if
still dwelt in and half 'alive with the
spirit of insensate pride it was not
until this evil genius of the land was in
his tomb that a stroke could be struck
for the freedom of the country.
Then began careful preparation. 'For
four years Merenptah was consolidat
ing- his power, with apparently one ex
pedition to Syria, up the coast to the
plain of Esdraelon and Tyre; this re
conquest we have learned of only since
finding the new tablet. But it did not
do more than secure the principal for
tresses near the coast, and command
the corn districts of Philistia and Es
draelon, which were cultivated by the
people of Israel, among others. It is
evident that reorganization had been
going on, strengthening the resistance
of the country, by the vigor with which
the great Libyan invasion was repelled.
after the country had been long sub;
mitting to minor attacks. .
At the end of .March, in his fifth year.
Merenptah had a dream. Ptah, the
great god of Memphis, appeared to him.
and warned him to be ready a fortnight
hence. This is doubtless a priestly way
of putting some warnings from spies
or travelers who- reported the prepara
tions in progress. Then, early in April.
the great tempest of foreign invasion
burst in from the west, just when all
the harvests were gathered in, the
fields stripped bare, the whole land
naked and open, and canals dried up;
in short, just when the greatest facili
ties existed for invasion, and tbe full
granaries tempted the desert peoples
The warning had not been in vain. Mar-
enptah was prepared, and attacked the
assembled host with his cavalry; the
gods fought with them, and for one
long afternoon, from midday till dark.
they slew, and slew, and slew, for six
hours slaughtering the multitude. The
defeat was utter. The king, Maury,
son of Dad, escaped, thanks to the dark
ness; but he did not even secure a horse
or provisions, and fled from the fight on
loot, completely terrified. His wives
and his rich equipage, his silver and
gold and bronze vessels, the ornaments
of his wife, his thrones, his bows, bis
weapons, and all that he had were a
prey to the Egyptians. Some '16,000
bodies lay on the field of battle, and
9,000 prisoners were taken. Century.

TWO COUNTRIES.
Ingenious Arrangement for the
Thirsty
on the Mexican Border.
There is an ingenious saloonkeeper
who conducts a place in o little village,
on the border between this country and
Mexico.says the Louisville Commercial.
The village is half in California and
half in Lower California. There rre
two bars in his saloon, one on the south
and one on the north side of a large
room. .The dividing line between the
two countries bisects the house, and
one bar is located in Mexico and the
other is located in the United States.
The proprietor pays big license to both
countries, but still makes a handsome
living out of the. business. . He has
suspended all the way across the street
in front a unique sign. On the United
States side it reads, in letters a foot
high: "Your first and last chance."
On the other side, in Spanish, it ex
presses the same idea.
The saloon is known, by that name
for miles around, and many an eastern
tourist who has quenched his thirst
there will remember it. It is a great
resort for "cow punchers" of both na
tions who work in. that territory.
Hence many ia the bloody fight that
takes place there, and few are the ones
brought to justice whose crimes! are
committed there.
A Judge's Reply.
At one time a delicate question as to
the construction of a statute was dis
cussed before the venerable chief jus
tice of the New York court of common
pleas, Charles P. Daly, ' and after elab
orate arguments on each side the chief
justice decided the question in open
court, giving his reason;; In a few well
timed remarks . which caused a lull in
the courtroom. The silence was speed
ily broken by the successful attorney,
who stood up and said with an air of
patronizing approval: "May it please
your honor, I, for one, agree with you
entirely." The chief justice,, with
twinkle in his eye which betokened his
enjoyment of the joke, but a perfectly
grave face, quietly removed his glasses,
and, amid a breathless silence, said:
have, counselor, generally found in my
experience that the successful party
agTees with the court."

asps out arrainst the sons of the

difrhtly; there is then exultation in
ivory line of his face. His right hand

;vhile two keen eyes rivet upon a shift

MUST TELL THEIR AGES.
A Law That Is Not Likely to Trove fop a
lar with Most Women.
According to a recent decree of th
Austrian courts of law concealment o
age on the part of the bride is sufHeien
to invalidate the mariiagc. An Aus
trian baron has succeeded in cbtaininf
an annulment of his union in conse
quence of his wife's, having pretendei
at the time of its celebration that sh
was fifteen years younger than her rea
age.
Hitherto concealment of age b;
women has alway s been considered ai
to a certain extent defensible and cus
tomary, and no one has ever drcame
of regarding these departures from th-
strict truth in the light of a lega
fraud. It is, however, well ji any cas
to remember the old adage necordini
to which a woman is as old as she looks
says the New York Tribune, and if sh
be passe in appearance it is use1 ess to
iler to claim a fictitiously youthful age
There is an attractiveness atiachini
to each period of life, and the veterai
is often in her way quite as eharmin
as the debutante.
Eliot's Indian Biole.
Miss Frances H. Tribou, daughter of
Chaplain Tribou, takes exception to the
oft-repeated statement that no man
now living can read Eliot's Indian
Bible. She writes Zion's Herald that at
tbe Mohonk Indian conference of 1894
she heard Bishop Whipple say that it is
a mistake to say it cannot be read, be
cause the Ojibways of Minnesota, can
read it. As the bishop's remarks are
published in the proceedings of the con
ference, and as be is an authority or
such matters, Miss Tribou's exceptior
seems to be well taken.

CHICAGO HORSES AT LUNCHEON
Man's Faithful Servants Emulate Illm In
Taking a Hurried Meal Downtotvn.
Even the horses of this city take
luncheon downtown. Every business
man knows what this means, the hur
ried bite taken in the short hour about
noon every day, when business is aban
doned long enough to permit the de
struction of a piece of pie or a sandwich.
Everybody does it, so it is as fair for
one as the other, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
This same haste applies to the nap
which pulls the cab or the heavy draft
horses used as freighters. At the noon
hour on any of the downtown streets
the observant person can see these
faithful beasts with nosebags depend
ing from their heads quietly munch
ing their oats or corn with every evi
dence of satisfaction.
It makes no difference to the horses
that the passing throng sees them in
the act of taking food. They are ns
callous on this subject as their mas
ters, many of whom can be seen sitting -on
the wagon or adjacent sidewalk
with tinpail open, eagerly destroying
the luncheon which the wife packed in
the morning. It is all in a lifetime, and
the Chicago horse has learned that lie
must eat when he can, and not be too
particular about it. Hence he lays hs
ears back and munches away with
placid joy. ... :i
Do yon want your windows cleaned,
carpets taken np, beaten and re-laid, or
