' I unintentionally omitted to state iu my last tbat Miss Juuer Lewis, of Washington, a neice of James M, Lewis, us a guest at the Sunuy Side hotel with her uncle and auut. She is making an extended visit here among friends and relatives. Owing to a oompany of traveling pmedioiue men having the ball en gaged for the night of the lOtb of Marob the soohool entertainment will be given on Friday night, the 16th or Marob, The children of this school have taken a great deal of pains to prepare for the ocoasion and we are anticipating an extra good time. Come out and help along the good cause. George W. Daley, Sr. , who has-been getting out stone for the foundation of a large house on the Sunny Side of the oreek, oontemplatea putting up a store house about 30x00 aud 1 un derstand that there is talk of one of the ex-merobauts of Medford, who has a good oapitai, opening up a general mercantile store in our town. There has been two in particular among them who have bad such an enterprise in view. Let them come, the more the merrier. Last Sunday Walter and George Parsons, aooompanied by Chas. .H. Webber and H. P. Marble, oi Fort land, stopped for dinner here. They were returning from a trip to Butte Falls, where tbey had been locking over the prospeot there. They are very 'favorably impressed with our country, but think, like many others tabt come from a distance, tbat we are considerable behind the times here. One of them remarked tbat tbat he could take twenty sores of land of some of the land in this vnl lev and make more money off of them than the present owners do off of their 1U0 aoies, by diversified farming. While I was in aledford last week I had a talk with one of the leading capitalists of that town and he as sured me tbat the work would be re sumed in the spring on tbe railroad to tbe big timber and pushed right along, aud whenever the oars run regularly to Eagle Point then business will be gin to look up in earnest and a new store will do well, aud we will begin to see tbe effect by having the large tracts of farming land divided up into small farms and our sobocis and ourcbes will prosper iu proportion. Speaking of schools 1 see in the last Mail a very interesting artiole on tbe subject of the Medford sohool--speak-irnr of the congested state of affairs on account of te growth of Medford, but that condition is not confined to Med ford, for in our quite little villiage our sonool is so orowaea tnac every seat is oooupied and there is no room fnr visitors and bv the next fall term we will have to employ three teachers and finish up the upper story of the school bouse.

The frieuds of Mi3s Leila Stimpson gave ber a pleasaut surprise party on Saturday night, February 10th. The party was well attended and the even ing was spent very pleasantly in games aud social chat, which was fol lowed by an appetizing baskft snppor. Why can't we bare rural mail out our way? Tbe big Stioky iaue, that dreaded bug-bear iu former years, is now a good winter road. Loads of wood, lumber and hay are being haul ed over it almost daily, besides a great number of light vehicles aud it seems as if it would not be a very dlfHoult matter for a mail carrier to ..make regular trips out here. One of tbe meat enjoyable events of the season was tbe farewell rarty tendered to John Griffiths, foreman of the Jackson County Improvement Co. 's ranoh, and his estimable wife, when fifty-six of their friends and neighbors quietly slipped in on them last Saturday evening. Not only were moBt of the neighbors present, but Ashland, Medford and Central Point were well represented. Various games were ludulged iu and Mr. Griffiths related some anecdotes and sang a couple of solos In his own Inimitable style. Miss BeBsie Turpin and Mrs. W. O. Danlelson, two of Medford's oharming young ladies, favored the oompany with a duet. Lee Watkin furnished some exoellent musio and those so disposd tripped the light fan tastic toe for several hours. While tbe grown-ups were enjoying them selves so hugely, tbe small lads and lassies were having a good time as well. Mrs. Griffiths kindly oleared a room for their own especial use, and they played games, popped corn and ate oaudy and nuts to their heart's oonteut. Wbat made tbe party still more enjoyable was that Febru ary 17th was Mr. Griffiths' birthday, (a faot of whiob his neighbors were aware) and also the anniversary of tne blrtn of W. J. Gregory and his youngest daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Owens. Mr. Gregory, who is one of tne oldest and most respeotable oitizeuB of tbe valley, having reaohed the throe soore and one mark, most of whioh has been passed on Uig Stioky. Promptly on tbe stroke of twelve a sumptuous basket supper as served to whioh all did ample justiae. It was not uutil the wee small hours that the guests reluctantly bade their kind host and hostess good byo with many good wishes for their suooess in their new home.

Hinkle's Drug Store. Webnter'a Portrait. Daniel Webster once sat for his por- rtalt to G. P. Healy, and the senator's remark when he surveyed the complet ed picture became one of the artist's favorite anecdote In after years. "I tbinli," said Webster as he looked at bis counterfeit presentment, "that Is a face I have often shaved." Healy found Andrew Jackson a disagreeable and unwilling "subject," and he compensat ed himself by painting Old Hickory with absolute fidelity to nature, not glossing a single defect. The portrait gives Jackson an ugly, savage and pal lid face. Napoleon's Poison. A curious detail of Napoleon Bona parte's costume was the religious care with which he kept hung around hie neck the little leather envelope, shaped like a heart, which contained poison that was to liberate him In case of Ir retrievable reverses of fortune. This poison was prepared after a recipe that Cabanols had given to Corvlsart, and after the year 1S0S the emperor never undertook a campaign- without having his little packet of poison.

"Tobacco -workers are prone to dead- ly nervous diseases. I have never yot seen a tobacco worker who Is not a nervous crank, who Is not off In his head," complained the owner of a large cigar factory. "I don't know why It Is. I used to be a worker myself, and I have never recovered from the effects of the trade. Half the time my men are nway sick or dying, they are al ways 111 tempered and flighty, and a public agitation makes Idiots of them. don't know the reason, as I said." He was advised to consult a physician and find out. The foreman of a stonocuttlng yard, when questioned, was better Infftrmed as to the evils of his trade. "See those dust clouds nil over tbe yard?" ho said. "Consumption therel And Quick, at that." Technical Workl. Fortunate Pants, A Jewish newspaper tells tba story of a rabbi who expounded and interpreted the Jewish law to the faithful observers for a stipend which a junior clerk would scorn. Tbe learned man was asked by a friend bow be was. getting on. "Slowly," he answered, with a sigh. "If It were not for the numerous fasts which our religion prescribes I am snre my family would die of starvation," DESTRUCTIVE ARTISTS. The Ruin They Wrought Whit Sinnrtliitt" I'ndvr Crltlulmu. By no menus unusual was the de struction of tlio Borglum angels In the Cathedral of St. John the Divine by the sculptor himself whllo smarting uuder tbe criticism that there were no male angels shown. Cieromc, the famous French sculptor, hud been working for weeks on the clay uiv'cl '-f a frnv.ip reprosvv.iinjj Spring. It had .:::.!.; : .ashed co::;;. lotion when the uvtl.it L'W.iuie convinced that the treatment was wrong, and in a minute he hod beaten the entire group Into n tliuie!e.4 mas-i of dump clay. Iljaurth destroyed a picture which hud boon sauicwlint severely criticised by one of bis friends, but the most spec tacular destruction Is related of Char Iran, who for a time had n studio In New York, lie was visited by the hus band of an American woman whose portrait ho was painting, 55,000 being the agreed price. The husband, while admitting It lo be a splendid work of art. declared that he could see abso lutely no likeness to his wife In the pic tured face. Chnrtran laid down his brush and, taking out bis penknife, slit the canvas into ribbons, after which he bowed bis critic out. It afterward de veloped that the man wns disparaging the portrait merely in the hope of ob taining n reduction In the price. ERRORS OF SPEECH. Common Akaie of the Verba to Get, to Luy nnd to Lie. The-verb to get Is one of our much misused words. It means to acquire, win, obtain, nud primarily it signifies the putting forth of effort to attain something. Consequently it Is not only superfluous, but Incorrect, to Bpoak of a man as "getting drowned" or "get ting sick," nud you may unfortunately "have a cold," but It is impossible that you "have got a cold." At this mo ment no exceptions occur to the writer to the rule that got should never be used In connection with have, which alone sufficiently expresses possession. Say "I have the picture," not "I have got the picture." "The dog has a broken leg," not "The dog baa got a broken leg." Tbe Irregular verbs lay and lie are frequently confounded. Lay is an ac tive or transitive verb, and lie is pas sive or Intransitive, wo lay things down or bavo laid them down, but we and things lie at rest You lie down, have lain down, will He down or are lying down; she lay down yesterday and Is going to He down this afternoon. A frequent error Is to confound the past tenses of theso verbs. One should say, "Mary laid the book on the table aud lay down herself," but the book lies on the table. THE STOMACH. How 11 la Affected by the Cm f Mixed Fatty Food. The stomach never has the least pow er of digesting true fat This Is dis posed of In the intestines. When eat en in the ordinary forms, as fat meat, butter, etc., the fat separates out lu the stomach and does not In the least Interfere with the work of the gastric juice on tbe other food, but when a nonfatty food has been intimately mix ed with grease tho latter prevents tho gastric Juice getting at the food it could digest. Fish fried In oil or but ter is by no means the most marked example, as the fat does not penetrate very deeply. Potatoes mashed with butter are rather worsefcand minced vegetables fried with batter are bad offenders. The reason advanced ex plains why pork Is difficult of diges tion. The muscular fibers are mixed up with fat cells, and by the liberation of the oil In each tiny cell the eaten pork Is made into an oily paste. A very strong stomach will do the work required, but it is not a fair task to Impose frequently, and a weak stom ach will refuse to do anything beyond reminding Its owner by a few stabs that it will not stand such treatment. Impoverished soil, like impov- Li-ished blood, needs a proper fertilizer. A chemist by annlyz ing the soil can tell you what fertilizer to use for different products. If your blood is impoverished your doctor will tell you wlml you need to fertilize it and give it the rich, red corpuscles that are lacking in it. It may be you need a tonic, but more likely you need a concentrated fat food and fat is the element lacking in' your system. There is no fat food that is so easily digested and assimi lated as Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil It will nourish and strengthen the body when milk and cream fail to do it. Scott's Emulsion is always the same; always palatable and always beneficial where the body is wasting from any cause, either in children or adults. We will send you a sample free. Bo sure that this pic ture in the form of a label is on the wrnpM.'i of every bottlo of Emul sion you buy. SCOTT & BOWNI CHEMISTS (09 Pearl St., New Yoik Eiowisp SSI DOc. and 1.00. All Uruggists. THE BEAUTIFUL HAND. A Decision Thnt Stood the Teat of All Time. There was a dispute among throe ladies as to which had the most beau tiful hand. ' One sat by a stream and dipped her baud into the water aud held It up, another plucked strnwber rles until the ends of her lingers were pli'.k and another gathered violets until ' r bauds were fragrant. An old, hng ,d womau, passing by, nskod, "Who v.:! give me n gift, for 1 am poor!" All -Vce (lenieil uer, out nnuuier who eia u.-nr. unwashed In mo stream, un tamed with fruit, unadorned with liowcrs, gave uer a little gut una satis fied the poor woman, aud then she ask ed them what was the dispute, -and they told her nud lifted up before her their beautiful hands. "Beautiful in deed,", said she when she sow them, but when they asked her which was ihe most beautiful she said, "It is uot the baud which Is washed clean in the brook, It is uot the bund that is tipped with red, It Is uot the hand thnt Is gar landed with fragrant flowers, but the hand thnt gives to the poor is the most beautiful." As she said these words ler wrinkles lied, her stall was thrown way and she stood before them an angel from heaven, with authority to decide the questiou iu dispute, nud that decision has stood the test of all time. STATE LOTTERIES. They Were Once Very Common nud Very 1'uiuilnr lu Europe. Lotteries were conm-.ou 111 ancient Rome, mill i'.;rlu:: the middle ages lot teries were utilised by tlio Italian mer chants for the uUposnl of tliolr gDod-s. Same of the ltallnu states then adopt the lottery as a moans of raising reve nue, and the institution of state lot teries afterward became very com mon aud very popular throughout Eu rope. The earliest English state lottery u; which there U stiiy record was in when -10.000 ch:iuco3 wore sold at 1:' shillings each, the drawing taliina place la the west door of lit. rnui s cathedral. Thu prizes consisted of articles u. plate, aud the profits were oiuplo.wj for Uie repair of certain harbors. Enrlj in the reign of yucea Anno private lot teries were su:pro.od "as public nui sances," but gjvcrn:.icnt lotteries, how ever, were still uuilutalucd, aud from 1700 to 1S2J considerable sums were annually raised In lotteries authorize! by nets of parliament. Tho average yearly protit to the gov ernment from 171)3 to ISC I was over 340,000. Ou the ground of Injury to public morals lotteries of all kinds were abolished lu England In 1820. London Saturday Review. FORGET YOURSELF. No One Can Grow While Hi TbouithtN Are Self Centered. Forget yourself. You will never do anything great uutil you do. Sejf con sciousness is a disease with many. No matter what they do, they can nev er get nwny from themselves. They become warped upon the BUhject of self analysis, wondering how they look, how they appear, what others will think of them and how they can enhance their own Interests. In othoi words, every thought aud every efforl seems to focus upon self; nothing rndi utes from them. No one can grow while his thoughu ore self centered. The sympathies oi the man who thinks only of himself are soon dried up. Self consclousne: acts as a paralysis to ull expansion strangles enlargement, kilts nsplratlon. cripples executive nblllty. The mind which accomplishes things looks out. not in; it Is focused upon Its object. not upon Itself. Tho Immortal acts have been uncou BClousryperfornied. The greatest pray ers have been the silent longings, the socret yearnings of the heart, not those which have been delivered facing critical audience. The dally desire is the perpetual prayer, the prayer that is heard and answered. Success. Whnt the Blind Sec. "1 can nlwnys toll when pc-oplo v. looking at mo." said a blind man. "1. deed, nearly all blind persons can I when people are looking at them, have always about me a soft go,;'i glow of light.

Uovf tho Strouit Perfluuo In Ohtalned mill It. Vurloun I've.. Although pure musk Is uot usually relished by the dellcato olfactories of persons with cultivated sensibilities, there Is no odor so extensively used lu the compounding of perfumes. It Is obtained from the lunsk deer, whlcn Inhabits the mountain ranges of Tibet. Tills animal Is suiuller than tho deer of this country, being about the size of a calf. It Is of a dark gray color nud' has no horns. The odor for which It Is valuable is n fluid secretion In a snc on the underside oMts body. This Is exposed to the air and wheu dry Is sent to tho market. Wheu Urst obtained it Is about the consistency of honey nud has a bitter, pungent taste. is used as a medicine, but has more value ns u perfume. Ou account of the persistency with which musk retains Its odor It Is used ns tho groundwork for other, perfumes which are mora olntlle. It Is said that a single grain of musk will perfume a room for twenty yonrs. So strong is it that It has been esti mated that 3,000 parts of a substance itself devoid of i odor will become pormented with tho scent with one part of musk. It is in consequence ery valuable, nud ns it is dllllcult to procure on account of the almost Inac cessible haunts of tlio musk deer it Is quite expensive. Chemists have long endeavored to procure an artificial musk, but they havo not ns yet been successful. THE HANDKERCHIEF. It Hud It. Orlvin In Venloe In the Sixteenth Centnry. About the year 1540 an unknown Venetian lady first conceived the happy Idea of carrying a' "fazzoletto, and it was uot long before her example wns widely followed throughout Italy. The handkerchief then crossed tbe Alps Into France, where Its use was Immediately adopted by the lords and ladles of Henry II.'s' court. The handkerchief of that period was an article of the greatest luxury. It was made of the most costly fabrics and was ornamented with the rarest embroideries. In tho reign of Henry III. it began to be perfumed and re ceived the name of "mouchoir do Ve nus." It was not until 1580 that the handkerchief made Its way into Ger many, and then Its use wns long con fined to princes nnd persons of great wealth. It was made the object of sumptuary laws, and an edict publish ed at Dresden In 1505 forbade Its ase by the people at large. Slowly, but surely, however, the vul garization of the pocket handkerchief has .been accomplished, and today even the humblest Is superior lu one im portant respect to Petrarch and Laura, Dante and Beatrice, who, it is some what painful to think, lived la a pre knndkerchlef nge. London Standard. Soma North German Superatltlona. If you are superstitious there are many things you must not do. In north Germany you must not spin during tlio twelve nights of Christmas, lest you should walk after your death, nor aft er sunset on Saturday, for then mice tvIH eat your work. Speaking of eat ing, If you want to ImvOymoney and luck all the year round you must not fail to eat herrings on New Year's day, nor, If you wish to he lucky, must you rock an enwty cradle, or spill salt wautonlyi or cross knives, or point at the stars. If you leave a dirty cloth on the tahle overnight you will make the angels weep; If you point upward to the raluhow you will make tho angels' feet bleed, and if you talk of cabbages while looking at the moon you will hurt the feelings of the man In It, who was a cabbage stealer in his salad days. ABSOLUTE ZERO. The Llnu oh Unvaryliiff iih tlio Point- in T of the Pole Needle. The zero of absolute temperature hns long been Indicated ns a mysterious uud important point in two ways.' Tho first is the contraction of gases, which in all known gases operates uniformly ns tlio temperature is lowered. As long as they retain the gaseous state gases shrink in volume so uniformly with each added degree of cold that an ex act, unvarying line of diminishing vol ume is established. This line Is as un varying as the pointing of tbe needle to tho north pole. It clinnot be explalncLl any more than the action of the needle can be explained. As every gas Is cooled, however, degree by degree It points unerringly by the law of dimin ishing proportions to a point at which its volume would bo nothing. If the shrinkage continued, since tho propor tion of loss of volume never varies, the gas would shrink to nothingness. It could not do so, of course, and all gases sooner or Inter fall out of the line by becoming liquid, when the law ceases to operate, aad tlio proportion of contraction in volume ceases to bo tho same. As long as they remain gases, however and the law Is precisely tho same In all gases they mechanically point their figurative fingers in one di rection, and all theso flguratlva fingers Indicate a point which is 401 degrees below tho zero of the Fahrenheit ther mometer.
