OUR COUNTY v ' J 1 vurrtsponaenis ji 1 Eagie Point Eaglets, UV A, C. HOWLETT, J. W, Connor haB ereuteu a tent ou the Suuny Side of Eagle Point and opened a photograph gallery. Messrs. Stopps and Isiler, two of the proprietors of the Hound Top mill, ciimo out last Monday on their way to Med ford ou business. Jalea Edna Whitney, of Flounoe Hock, who has been the guests of Mrs. Win, Von der Ilel'en for ti few days, was a ploueaut caller at the Sunny , Side lust Suuduy. I unintentionally omitted to state in my last that J. B. Gay had sold his billiard saloon and stook to fJ j Watkins and Mr. Gay has gone to i Central Point to live. I Miss Boulah Kinoaid, who has baen i engaged touching school ou Poorumusj rooek, has beon so uuwell that she; was obliged to remain at home with her parents some time after the holi-! days. She returned to her school lust Monday morning. Last fail when our merchants had such piles of cedar posts stacked up, the remark was made thut they had enough to lust for two years, but now it begins to look us though there will not be enough to last until the roads get dry enough to haul out an other supply. Notwithstanding the extra dry fall and wiuter, so far the stock on the xunge ib looking line and the appear-, auoo now is that tliere will be an other surplus of hay on hand in the spring. This is the Italy of Oregon and Oregon is the Italy of the United StateB. Messrs. Jackson, Grover and Dale ! commenced to make a preliminary survey for a ditch to supply the south 1 Bido of Uutte creek with water for ir rigating purposes. They think they can run the water high onough to go twenty feet higher than the old Ellis ditch. There will be an entertainment giv en here next Saturday (tomorrow) night. A tine play, uct?d by adultB eutirely, the proceed to bo applied to pay the balance ou the organ for the school and if there is anything loft to go toward buying a Hag for tte school house. I should have remarked in" my last that that article in Tho Mail with re gard to u railroad from Medford to Joe Bar created quite a seusatiou in the Sterling mine and in fact all through the Applegate country. For a railroad tapping that region would open up a vast section of farming and mineral land and be the means of bringing a large amount of wealth into circulation. W. W. Parker and wife came out from Big Butte last Fiiday and on Saturday went to Medford and from there Mr. Parker went to Jackson ville to meet Superintendent P. H. Dailey and Ira Tungate, to arbitrate a dispute between the Sugar Pine and Mt. Pitt school districts, over the buudary lines. Ernest Smith, son of Prof. E. E. Smith, accompanied them as far as Medford and took the train for Ashland. Our school is constantly filling up and last Monday the principal's room was so crowded that there waBnot a vacant seat und he had to surrender his chair for the accommodation of one of the pupils and now the talk is that we will have to finish up the up per room and employ another teacher for next year. That will necessitate levying a Bpeoial tax for school pur poses, a subject tnat is being agitated to some extent in our town. Arrange ments have already been made to or .der more seats and desks. There are now nearly one hundred ohildren on the school register and when we have our church building finished, so that when strangers write and ask about our schools and ohurches, we can say truthfully that we have as good a school as there is in the county and a neat church to worship in, they will not hesitate and say that they do not want to settle where the people have bo little energy that they will not live where there is no church and poor schools. The time is noar at hand when the old moss-backs who are af raid of a school tax will be delegated to the rear and more enterprising ones placed in position to transact the business of the district. Lake Creek Items. W. D. Wilkins visited Brownsboro and Eagle Point oone day last week. Wm. Martin visited W. T. Kinney, of North Butte, one day last week. The Xmas tree given by Mrs. J. N.

Kinney and Wilkins famillies, of North Butte, got up a fine Xmas tree at the home of your correspondent. A few of the neighbors were present.

The use of poisoned arrows in primi tive wtirfu.ro la undoubtedly of verj ancient origin. The custom Is men tionod by Strubo, Pliny nod Aristotle, all of whom agree that It was wel! known In both prehistoric Europe nufi Asia. In later tirae3 the Cells and G aula envenomed their arrow and spear shafts with tho Juices of th hellebore, and the American and Aus tralian savages with serpent venom and virus from decaying flesh. The very earliest mention of the Scythians refers to them as u people who prepare arrow poison by mixing serpent venom with the virus of putrid blood Berum." At tho time of the dis covery of America the Indiana wero aa woLl skilled in tho science of preparing arrow poison as tlw Scythians or any other oarly tribo of European or Asi atic people. Tho favorite mode' as practiced by the American aborigine was to kill soino wild animal, a deei or buffalo preferred, remove Its lrvei nnd couso a heavily envenomed rep tile to strike Its fangs Into It until the meat turnod green with poison. If onu serpent did not supply enough, other: wore obtained, and Ue work of enrag ing tho creatures and causing them to etrfke the liver was kept np until the desired results wero obtained. One largo llvor thus prepared would furnish poison enough to coat the shafts of 10,- 000 arrows. Tho Smithsonian institute has hundreds of these poisoned arrows the microscope showing that most oi them have been poisoned with rattle- snako venom. A CITY OF MUD. Pooullarltica of Yelt Its PeoxOo and Its HonfiBH. "Ono of the most extraordinary cities la tho world Is Yezd, In central Per sia, writes a traveler. "It Is situated In tho midst of a vast salt desert whlcb stretches for hundreds of nrltcs In all directions. The nearest Inhabited place of any size Is Ispahan, and that is 200 niltes away. The Inhabitants of Yczd who have been away from Yezd dur ing their lives number perhaps two oi throe score, and the bulk of these have not extended their travels farther than to Bhtraz or Rinnan In tbe one direc tion or to Ispahan In the other.

THE FLYTNG'FRdQ! 'It- A l?our Wlxiffotl Uvptlle That Inhnb lm Tropical Afrkm. Tho curiosity of tropical Africa Is tlw wonderful flying frog, llrst described by Bltihoflf of tho equatorial African expedition, which returned to Europu In tho full of 160-1. This oddity of tho reptile family is about tho size of b common bullfrog and resembles other members of the order of batnicmims fn everything but its feet, each oi which is Y.-tfhbed and enormously en larged, so much so as to form splendid substitutes for true wings. The crea ture has tiro toes on each of tho other two, which makes four separate mem branes ou each of his hind feet and three on each fore foot, or fourteen lu all. In his description of It Bishofl says, "Each leg terminates in a sort ol fan, and with these tho little reptile paddles the air like a locust or like o partially fledged bird testing its pin ions for the Urst time," Although somewhat awkward In Its flight, the winged frog can dart through lue air at a speed of about ten yards per second nnd can keep itsolf going forward at that rato for from ten to fifteen seconds. The nvorugo distance covered by theso spurts of grasshopper like flight is from 75 to 125 yards, but BIshofF mentions instances whom the flying frog cleared sandy stretches 20C yards la width. A PAIR OF RUBBERS. Wear Tbera Itarlns Tli under Mtornm if You Poor Lttftitiilnff. The one thing which a woman most dreads barring, of course, a mouse and being out of styles-is a thunder shower. Many most estimable wo men of character nnd forco who car lead great crusades nnd rovohitlonlzo society go all to pieces at a clap o! thunder, nnd a good many men, too. for that matter. It Is not agreeable to be struck by lightning. Nor Is It at all necossnry. There is a sure preventive as sure ns it is Bhnple, Inexpensive and always accessible a pair of rubbers. If a wo man will simply put on a pair of rub bers when the lightning begins to flash and the thunder to roar and will stand on tlie floor .so that she touches noth ing else she will be as safe as if she wero scaled In a glass cage. Rubber Is a nonconductor of elec tjictty, nnd If the lightning has to gc through a sheet of rubber to get at you it will leave you alone and take some thing else. In other words, when you have on a pair of rubbers and nro not In contact with anything you nro per fectly insulated. This Is not a theory merely. It Is a fact proved by Innumerable experi ences. A pair of rubbers has saved many a life in a thunderstorm. THE HOMER OF PORTUGAL. Cntuooun, tbo Gifted nnd Unfortnnute Author of "Tlie laslad." 'The Lusiad" is ono of tho noblest records ever written of nntional glory and success. Oamoens, Its gifted au thor, determined to do for Portugal what Homer bod done for Greece, The great poem was written In the six teenth century, which has been called the heroic age of Portugal, and Its main feature is the rounding of the Oap of Good Hope by Vaeoo da Gamn, while a most interesting eptsodo Is the crowning after death of Inez do Cas tK as queen of Portugal. "Tho Lu siad" took its namo from Lusiua, who was said to have founded Lisbon. Its author was born about 1520, and his career, which began brilliantly, was blighted by tbe death of a broken heart of the lacly of his love, for whoso snko he was banished from the land. He wrote "The Lusiad" In his banish mcnt and was recalled in 1071, losing on the way all -his property oscept his poem. Pensioned at first by the king, this great epic poet of Portugal died In great poverty In 1570, when his patron was also dead. Every Two Minutes Physicians tell us that all the blood in a healthy human body passes through the heart once in every two minutes. If this action be comes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott's Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT'S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly di gested before it enters the stomach ; a double advan tage in this. Less work for the stomach ; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least pos sible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health. Scott's Emulsion does just that. A change for the better takes place even be fore you expect it. We will lend you a umplc free. Be ture that thti picture in the form of i label U on the wrap per of erery bottle of Emuliion you buy.

Escape Through Science. Science comes aloug, adjusts Its spectacles, nnd In a solemn voice tells the people of Porto Rico that what nils them la that they have been bitten by the lazy microbe. That being tho case, there is nouioro reason for being Impatient with them for never doliiK today what they can put oil' till tomorrow than thcru is for scolding a man because ho has rheuma tism. Of course tho doctors are right, and it is a great comfort to a lazy umu to know that it isn't ills fault, but while they are about it why not carry the thing a little farther and discover tho lle-iu-bed microbe for the man who can think of several things he would rather do than got up in tho morning? Also, If the doctors wont to be real clever and earn the everlasting grati tude of mankind, they should uulimber their microscopes and discover a germ that makes men want to stay out until early in the morning.

Some Thliiu; IliirnUean Hero Would lie Und Form Abroad, There aro some points of foreign eti quette which tire absolutely Inexplica ble to the British mind, and, Indeed, il Is very doubtful whether the nations it: which they are peculiar can themselves niter any explanation. Why, fur in stance, Is It had form if you visit n Frenchman In his own room to lay your hat on the bed? The fact remain that It is universally considered tin worst of manners.

London Mail. MARINE LEAPERS. The Tuna In (he Motit (irnccfnl of ttir Jumper of the Sen. Many of the inhabitants of the se:: are good jumpers nnd some have be come famous. Among them should hi mentioned the tarpon or silver king, huge llsh with scales that gleam like silver, which constitutes tho ftimom game fish of Florida. The leaps of this beautiful creature are often astonish Ing. Several years ago n steamer was rushing down the St. Johns river. The captain was sitting on the fore dock, leaning against the pilot house, when suddenly tliere rose in tho air a beauti ful shining llsh four feet In length. II came ou like an arrow and landed hi tlie lap of tho captain as neatly af though It had been placed there. In tlie Fuel lie. waters the tuna, an ally of tlie horse mackerel, is noted for its leaps. Sometimes a sehoo. sweeps up the coast and tho powerful fish, often weighing S00 pounds, are seen hi tlie air in every direction. They are like an arrow, turn gracefully livi or six feet lu the air nnd come down keeping the water for acres in a foam and If not the greatest Junipers they ure certainly the most graceful of the leapers of tho sea.
