I Apropos of the proposed new public school which must, ere long, be built in this city the following may not be amiss to those having that matter at heart and especially to the citizens of St. Johns. Tub KBVIBW, having the best interests of this city's future, closely woven into itself, solicited this ar ticle from Messrs Goodrich & Goodrich, architects, of St. Johns and Portland. "The influence of color upon the optic nerve and upon the eye in general is never more marked than in cities, where the predominant color is red," said Capt. Goodrich. "All forms of defective sight are extremely prevalent where red is paramount in the facades of build ings. The ever sensitive optic and its primary organism, the brain, should be the first thought in all building operations, that they be not injured by prejudicial colors. "Red produces many optic and astigmatic malformations. Again we notice how soothing to the optic nerve is a change from red brick- fronted street facades to a yellow or huff or drab street facade ill brick or stone. "There seems to be a latera convoluted concentric lay, ever active where red is in mass. The sensation is n twisting or rendering of the nerves that focus the sight rays, so that they cross and recrov. each other 111 irregular circles. They then tangent into space. If not remedied by the absence of the cause defects and deformities are produced that engender myopic and astigmatic ontics. "We notice in cities built of rc brick the more wearing of glasses than in any other other city. es little children not yet in their teens are spectacled an unheaid of thing 111 the country where tne miner ctit) and violets bloom and the da sies and iiolden rod 'howdy to the sun. "Ill nature, how sparingly is red I As if nature repudiated this color in her wonderful inanipula Hons of color. Again red is the most iinfragrant of colors of all the blossoms. Seldom has it any remedial audit ill the coll. -tic o tiharmacv. "Hut in old glory, its .strips blending with the white and blue it calms the beholder. Net, wliere tile red rose and the white rose nestle side by side the white carries off the honors. "The architectural change now going 011 in the building world wherein shades mellowed of buff drab, old gold, colonials 11111 K.-iirls are changing the streets from sordid (llsagreeaolcness to licuiiliiy colorings and give a certain luxury and leniiement ml can never as sume nor revive, let alone survive "The white stripe of the mortar joint does not blond in the lirim hut only intensifies the general de sire to avoid the facadeVaud pass it by as scedily as ov.tlilo. "A case at Miut, wherein Paris laudloid painted his store ft out a glaring red. The renters across the street had a dry goixh store; the glare of the red facade of the opposite side of the street so detracted liom tne show w indows, and caused such a glare in refrac tion that the judgment of the court was for heavy damages against the owner of the ret fronted facade. At the trial it was clearly proven, that the flaming ret was a detriment to the showing o the colors of the dry goods in the show windows 011 the opjxsite side of the stieet, and that the painting was 11 spite job, to injure the dry goods landlord, and his lessor. In I'raise of Cliaiiihcrlalu's Cougl Ucincdy. There is no other uu-diciue iitatut facturtd that has received so much praise ami so many expressions of gratitude as Chamberlain's Cough Kviucdy. It is ettective, am prompt reltel lollows its use, (iiateful patents everywhere do not hesitate to testify to its merits for the benefit of others. It is a certain cine tor croup and will prevent the attack if given at the fust apear- ancc ot the disease. It is esjHx'ially adapted to children as it is pleasant to take and contains nothing injurious, h. A. Humphreys, well known resident and clerk in the store of H. l.ock. of Alice, Cain? Colony, boiith Afriesi, savs: have usetl Chamberlain s Cough Ueuuuly to ward off croup and colds in my futility. I found it to Ik? very satisfactory and it gives me pleasure to recommend it." I'or sale by Jackson's Pharmacy. Couldn't Agree. A jury was out from Portland on . Friday to appraise the Gattou tract I not th of this city, over which the O, K & X. aio socking a right of I way, The jury was impanelled by I judge i razor s court and spent some hours in looking over the city, after seeing the tract.

McGratu, 66 j North Third, ttetween Davis and j Iwerctt streets, Portland. 3 -a few- THORNS Siwaking of Christmas all the children. Many a pair of half hose is mere a pair of half holes before the week is over. Many a woman calls herself "even tempered" merely becutise she's mad all the time. When fellow swears off out loud he generally swears on again in a very low whisper. The man who swears off swear ing on January 1 is about the only fellow that has a cinch on the whole game. Show 1110 the ordinary man who takes a "cold plunge" every morn lug before breakfast and I'll show you 1111 extraordinary liar. Merely becauv. o-u-s Sells "us" and r-y-c spells "ri" and (pu-e-u-e spetls "cu" is no reason why -u-e-u-e-r-y-e-o-u-s should spell "cur ious," is it? It makes no difference in which hand a woman is carrying her bun dle nine out ol every ten gets off a street car backwards. Notice it and count them. Since car 110 came from the paint-shop it resembles n big yaller coon having a red waist and black stockings wearing scctMclos. It is quite mi improvement. The man who accepts $2 for his vote is too low. too grasping, too mercenary, too unmanly, to have the right of franchise. It's worth $3.50 if it's worth 11 cent. California has sprung a new one in place of the "each-crop-kilIed-by-frost" story. Her oranges are now blown from trees. This will help mise the price for Christinas. "Tabucco Factory Owned by Women blown up in Kentucky." Well, who cares whether the woman was blown up in Kentucky or Central Asia? What about the factory, nuy way? Uev. J. W. Hrotigher says "that old maids here will be angels in heaven." I'd like to ask Mr. Ilrougher if he ever found a line in the bible that mentioned a "she" angel? If so, where? The greatest trouble with these full dress, sawcd-off-co.it affairs is that one can hardly distinguish himself from the waiters. He's very liable, when he hears a bell ring, to say "Coming, sir." One of our citizens who lately bought realty now asks tin preacher, when he attends prayer meeting, not to start that beautifu hymn "When I Can Read My title Clear." It awakens too many memories. At Kino, Nevada, a dogcatcher has been doing business-. A crowd of women started out the other day mad as wet hens, ami they made that dog chaser look like a . - 1. . gone eu-iser oeiore mey were through with him. A good woman recently called 011 me to write an ad for her estray cow. Alter telling about the animal she said, regarding the color, that the cow "was virtuously white." Any good cow that is "virtuously white" is worth ad vertising for. Some men have lots of luck If I'd iHHight that half block that audermeer bought and had naii Mooo tor it 1 couldn't nave sold it in a year for more than 5; oo! auderiuoer ivud 7ooo and be- fore throe days jktss he is offered ?.sooo" iiully lor the Dutch! "Hun as has, gits," reminds us of a grocer back in South Dakota. A women went into his store and asked for eggs. Yes, he had them they wore 20c a doen.
