OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1903, WHEN' WOMAN PROPOSES. vietboda of tlie Hungarian Gypsies and Burmese Muldens. In England )ap year is supposed to infer upon the fair sex the privilege choosing her life partner for better for worse, but the custom is more ionorcd in the breach than in the ob ivrvance. The gypsies, especially in "angary, enjoy and make a very exten sive use of the right at all times in ac i .rrdance with an ancient custom. Thus marriageable young gypsy girl in the t;ud of the Magyars as soon as hei i.aart is smitten takes good care that rje smiter shall hear of the havoc he i-.ss wrought and have a chance of con-.-'.iling her. With this praiseworthy ob . 'ct in view she has a love letter in Otcd, places a coin in a piece of dongh, ...ikes it and throws the cake and billet ,;,ux during the night into the bed i Camber of her bridegroom elect Then '".e possesses her soul in patience and -.waits developments. The Burmese maiden begins her mar :.ige campaign at a much curlier staye. la order to get together a goodly gath- . rinir of voting men from whom to i iioose she places a lamp in her window . I night it Is known as "the lamp of ; ve" and entices all those youths who .:fe candidates for the order of Bene dict. In sunny Andalusia the peasant :'.v whose heart hns been stolen by a 'ialwart young husbandman prepares !: tasty pumpkin cake and sends it to '. is borne.

In Styria and Carinthia It Is known Mat nn iivr"tiIc enter-ean never be bro of the habit and that If arsenic be . .nnpulsorlly kept from the eater death ""lpidly ensues. It Is believed In the "Timir n ml tills Is perhaps true that "uV arsenic worker Is fit for no other iork. lie must remain at this occupa Ton. Health and breath fail him at writer employments. Eventually it may '' that chronic arsenical poisoning en- j es. But this may be staved off, If not ; -holly prevented, by scrupulous clean-: Ilness, by care taken not only to wash i.i the "changing house," but to bathe j .'recly at home. As one of the foremen :iid to the writer, "Against arsenic the iest antidote Is soap taken externally." -Chambers' Journal. The fore part of the week was warm and showery, while the latter part was clear and cool, especially at night. Ti e showers weM not heavy enough to be of benefit to corn and pastures, and in some of the coast counties they interfered with hayin?. Tha bay harvest is now well advanced, and in the southern sec tions many farmers have finished cut ting their second crop of alfalfa. The hay crop, as a whole, will be less than last year, and it will iall slightly below the average for the last ten years, l'aa ture on the ranges is drying up,, but it continues ood in the mountains The weather has been very favorable for tilling and ripening grain. The heads are of good size and '.be berry is plump,'! ut toe stand is thiu, and consequently j the yields are lulling below the average, j The grtiin harvest has become general i ! the Columbia river valley a din south- em sections, arid well started in the j Willamette valley. Oats promise bet ter yields than either wheat or barley. The cloudy weather during the fore part of the week :au-ed lice to increase in the hop yards, and some spraying has been'done. Hops continue thrifty and no serious damage from vermin has yet occurred. The crop is not bo Jar ad. vanced as usual at this season ot the year, and, and Borne fears are enter tained that it will not mature oeiore me fall rains begin. Potatoes and gardens are doing finely, but the nights have been too cool for corn to make rapid growth, and this crop now neeus rain, r ieiu onions are reported to be generally in goon conui tion, although in a few places they are affected by blight. A short crop of peaches is being mar keted, and plums are beginning to ripen. Prunes and pears continue to make ex col lent progress, and theea crops prom ise well. Apples are, uneven, and an av erage crop is not expected. During the past week high winds in the (rande Konde valley have caused considerable green fruit to drop. Paine's Celery Compound Permanently Cures Sick and Nervous Headaches that Make Life Miserable. Sick and nervous headaches are amongst the worst ills of life. The man or woman who is subject to headache at irregular intervals, goes through life boring a load of misery i and wretchedness that is terrible to tninK i of. ' Headaches as a rule, result from a dis ordered condition of the nervous system. I Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily j fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting ! causes. When the brain becomes tired and debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak ened, and headaches result. If the liver is sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion deranged, headaches invariably follow. To cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys tem must be strengthened and vitalized. The most persistent cases of headache, nervous feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently cured by Paine's Celery Compound ; it is the great reconstructant of the nervous system. Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich., tells of her release from suffering as follows: " I have been troubled with dyspepsia and sick headache for a number of years. About every week I would have' a bad spell of sick headache, but since I began using Paine's Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and I do not have any more headaches. I feel better than I have for years." l TAIL PANY, 285 287 Washington Street Challenge Sale Continues 33 100 000 Worth of line un-called-for tailor-made clothing, on which de- f t ' J 1 1 i ri . t t pusiis nave vecu paiu, purcnasea oy my nicago Duyer, joe U Godfrey, at -TV 5 "7T B T& R I ii weoiy enT on No Need Soiling the Hands with DIAMOND DYES GRIMM PROTESTS.
