The rain last Monday and Monday night raised Uutte oreok so as to strikc the railroad bridge und on the south aide it raised with suoh foroe as to raiBe one beam'about four inches and still the water was not so high as it was two years ago by about four feet. Some of our citizens went down Tues day morning and Frank Lewis made the above report. MeaBrs. Harris and Ott stopped at the Sunny Side Tuesday on their way to Butte Falls. Mr. Ott sayB that he has traveled through eight diffreent states on business and finds that every thing taken into aeoount Oregon is the best one of the eight, for health of family, business, pleasure and gener al oomfort and that Rogue river val ley is the best part of Oregon, as here we have health, wealth and general prosperity. Dr. J. I.

TALES OF TAMAQNO. Sojue ot the Oi'eat Stnarer's Poarliud- tl In Money Blotter!. Despite the fabulous sums Tamagn? recelvod tho great singer had a reputa tion for extremo parsimony. When staying in Moscow he noticed that the waiters in the hotel furnished him dally with fresh candles, although the old ones had been barely used. This vexed htm, and, seeing that remon strances were of no avaO tbe candles, ho learned, formed a waiter's perqui site he began to colleat the candles himself. On leaving the hotel he gath ered up tho whole collection .and dis tributed them among the waiters when they lined up to rocelvo their tips. Tamagno's one Interest ofC the-stage was his only daughter and her chil dren. It was for her that he boarded his wealth, which be appears to have feared might slip away. With his daughter near him, however, he kept open house at his villa In Varese, near Mllam Onco, In St Petersburg, be dis puted a fee of 8. francs for the for warding of a telegram, but on hearing that his daughter was ill he left St Petersburg and 40,000 rubles ($20,400) to hurry to Milan. In a Berlin hotel, after appearing in "The Prophet," for which he received $1,230, he ordered far bis supper two poached eggs and a bottlo of mineral water." Eventually he drew fom one of hla pockets a bottle ot wine, some of which he pourod into tho mineral wa ter. It was a bottle which be had con trived to secrete at a banquet given in his honor two days before in Prague. SUPERSTITION AND GEMS. leio PoJule About tha Vqimo, the Itabr and tbe Opal. A Maiden lane jeweler speaking of the trade in Jewels said the other day that superstition with reference to them bad a Berioos effect upon the trade. Borne people will not buy or wear topu unless they were born ill November, and others oannot be Induced to buy rubles unless they were born In July. It doesn't eoacern many people about rubles, because their price is too high for most persons to wear them. There are not two hundred good rubles of any size worth speaking of In New York, but the topaa is abundant and is not dear. Then there Is the superstitious objee tion to opals, which ore regarded as unlucky all the year around and have no saving natal month to lift their op probrium. They do not need the su perstition to make tbem objectionable, however, because while they are very beautiful they are also very fragile and should be very cheap. Out in Austra lia you can go out with a pick and dig a wheelbarrow load In an hour. The cutting and polishing give them some value, but it is something like that be stowed upon cut glass. Still they rank as jewels, and when they are sold It is for a price. If, however, you want to And their value offer one to your jew eler either for a cash sum or in ex change. You will then learn what they are Intrinsically worth or something near it Mow York Press. HABITS OF HARES'. "" SSaltlnflr the Toilet Is a lrfma nx.6 Oareful Prooeen. A clover observer writes: MA good many bares find a secure retrent in the sand hills during tho daytime and feed on tho marshes In the morning -and evening. The hoar at which most ol them leave the marsh varies, but it is any time before 0 o'clock. All the bares, however, do not return, some preferring to lie out all day and make their "forms" in any standing clumps of grass in the tnclosures. I found this out one day while taking shelter among tho fir trees from a downpour of rain. As soon as the rain got really heavy I saw first one and then another hare appear, as it were, out of the ground in tho middle of tho fields and race for the shelter "of the sand hills. "On their return to the hills In the morning many of them take up their station on tho sunny aide of a fir tsee, generally an n"siope, and alt there, ei ther among tho flroeadles or else on the bare ground or sand, without any sort of form apparently. They like a warm, sonny seat out of tho wind, or, In wet wtrather, sheltered from the rain. Here they sit and sleep, unless dlstarbed, until an hour or two past midday. "At some ttmo between 1:30 and 8 o'clock they wake up and begin their toitot which Is a long and very care ful process. I nave seen them roll In the sand, then get up, shake them, solves and finally Qck their bodtos all over, for the most part directly with their tongues, but those ports of their bodies which they cannot reach so lace, back of bead, ears and nape of neck are dressed by the fore limbs ex actly m the some way thai a oak does IV. These toilet operations often take half or three-quarters of an hour. When complete, there is a Bhort time of rest then a kingstretch and a yawn fore legs first, then the hmd legs; finally, the whole body is raised lntc an arch, after which the animal bo gms to move off for another teed."

If you must worry, take a big thing. The little things will knock you out Keep your children, your dogs and your troubles away from your guests. The dlulng room should always be sacred. That is the one room where no scraps should bo allowed. Have the same standard of morals lor yoursolf as for your children.- You need it as much as they do. There are three standpoints to every home your own, your wife's and tho cook's. Try and forget your own. Put over the front door, for every iTMinher of the famllv to read.

Oold baths in the morning ore un doubtedly beneficial, but only to those persons who have sufficient vital ener gy and nervous force to Insure good reaction with no subsequent languor, or lassitude. Many persons who ore great ly refreshed by their morning both feel ureu or languid two or three hours art' er it. When this occurs It is conclusive evidence that the practice is harmful, Persons who have an abundance ot blood and flesh, who are lymphatla or Blugglsh in temperament nnd whose nervous force is not depleted, can take a cold morning bath to advantage. Others who ore' Inclined to be thin, whose hands and foot bocomo .cold anil clammy on slight provocation, who dl gest food slowly and nsslunlato ti with difficulty, who are nervous aud who havo moeh on their minds should avoid early morning cold bathing. For such the bath beroso retiring at night Is rec ommended, as it should be fallowed by rest of brain and body till equable con ditions of clnulatkm are re-established. Some persons who are weak in nerve power have such excitable nerves thai they got at onae a porfeot Benetton from oold bathing, but toss in otter ef fects mone than the value of the bath. This class of Individuals should not bathe .too often and should always use tepid water, choosing- the time prefer ably before retiring. .
