Ttn years ago there were only 15,000 residents in Jaffa; today there are nearly CO ,000. Mexico in tbe new world baa tbe largest standing army, with a war strength of 160,000, while Brazil is sec ond with 23,000 and 20,000 gendarme. The New York Tribune makes the timely observation that "the patience .of the disabled soldiers under their mictions is aa fine aa their valor was." The Argentine Republic has a peace force ot 12,000. Canada is garrisoned with 2,000 British troops, with an addi tional 1,000 Canadian soldiers, and a militia of S5.000. In tbe streets and suburbe of London there are now not only 712 fountains for human beings, but 23G large troughs tor horses and cattle and 476 email troughs for sheep and dogs. Burglar proof glass has been invsnted by a smart manufacturer. It la made by ponring molten glass over a network of steel wire. It is especially adapted tor skylights and jeaelers' windows. A new English pniale ie formed of a closed bet, with a transparent lid, in which a number of perforated balls are placed, with pins projecting from the aidea of tbe box, on which the balls are to be threaded. Pillowa and mattreesee tor ship bunks are being made ot rnbBer or other water proof material in a number ot separate sections tod inflated, tbe different sec tions having lines attached which can be used for life saving Host actressee are industrious. Tbe popular idea that they sleep till noon and (hen eat caramels and receive visit ors till it ie time to go to the theater is dissipated. One popular leading woman has a whole set of beautiful linen doilies she ties worked between ''waits'' last season, and another has made dozens ot ) sofa pillows tor her summer home. Under tbe name ol dynammon a new explosive baa been introduced into Austria lor blasting and other purposes, which is said to combine the explosive power of ay namite with absolute eatety during storage and transport. It is im possible to explode it by means of any ordinary mechanical impulse, such as an accidental blow or friction. News has been received at Berne of a number of fatal accident which occured la tbe mountains during Saturday and Sunday. A young man aged 20 fell over a precipict on the Ochs Alps and was instantly killed. Another young man met his death in the tilarus Alps. In tbe Goeachnnen region a man named Francois Gamma fell into a crevasse on the Qpitzburg while in search for rock crystals. His body was found mutilated almost beyond recognition. Another fa tal accident is reported from Saron. A French woman has collected for fifty years specimens of corsets worn at different periods and in herchateaa is a billiard room fitted up with glaaa cases in which are her treasures. Those who ehuader at tbe idea of an eighteen-inch waist would be ehocked at a corset of the Catherine De Medici reign with a waist ot thirteen aad one-half inchee and outside cover of steel bars to prevent stretching. There are to be seen tome leather siaye, worn by Charlotte Corday, - and a pair ot brocaded satin ones, which once belonged to the Empress of Austria, with only a fifteen and one-balf-inch waist. There are lots of nnxa housekeepers among the women of tbe stage. Kaie Claxton likes tj fuss around and put things awav in camphor and send cur tains off to the cleaners just as well aa to act. Rose Coghlan can cook, and so can Lillian Kaseell, Ume. Modjeeka is a great bonsekeeper, and May Irwin de lights in going about her boose dusting, with a towel about her head. Little Edna Wallace baa a most formidable apartment np town in New York, wbieb she looks after personally. She has a cook and butler and maid, who boss her around because she's such a mite of hu manity. When Mies Ida Work of Dallas, Tex. was graduated from Fort Worth semi nary in 1881 she received a gold medal in tbe form of a malteae cross. She lost the medal while out riding shortly afterward. Tbe medal turned np in the stockyards of Chicago tbe other day. It was found in the stomach c( a cow which had deen chipped from Dallas. Frank Shaw, superintendant of the mea'.uouee at tbe stockyards, wrote to the postmaster at Dallas, but learned that tbe Work family had left that city rears ago.

I here will gradually Issue out ot tbe recent war issues that will prooably form wide planks in the parties of ths country. Just now the? cannot bs de fined, but their shadows may already be seen.- Washington Lctttr. The government has been very unfor tunate in selecting camps tor tbe sold iers, securing some of the most unhealthy places in the whols country, so much so as to cause some to think there bave been ,obs. There has at lsaat been bad judgment. We need Mr. Dewey on tbe Atlantie caret to shackle Blanco and show him where his place is . The gentleman is acting rather rantanaerous and needs a muzzle. lie la not using bia typewriter as much aa he was, but be is using his underhanded Spanish tactics more and is liable to cause a great eeal of trouble and create some very unpleasant situa tions. He shonld be promptly polled down by the coat tall in Dewey t)le. The entire trade ot the nations of South America amounts to 1315,000.000. Ot this imports aggregaU $392,000,000, and xporta 423.000,000. Thie does not in clude tbe trade of tbe British, Dutch and French colonies of Guiana, bat it does in dude tbe trade ot the South America nations with one another as welt ae with other parte of the world. These countries sell to the Loited States products worth in the aggreaate about f 110,000,000, and boy from the United States only about $30,000,00), worth ot products. We have several good reasons for boo ing for a large increase in our trade with Son th America in the near future . Tbe annexation of Porto Rico to the United States will belp mcch to increase this trade. Tn the annual report of Pension Com missioner Evans it ie shown that on Jane 30, 1897 there were on the rolls 976, 014 pensioners. To this mast be added 6.S52 original claims granted but not re corded and 762 restorations. Commiss ioner Evans granted 63,6 1 original claima during tbe past year and restored ,S pensioner to tbe Deneota ol pens ions. The pensioners now aggregate 1,040,356. More pensions were granted last year than any year from 1869 np to 1S90. The Pension Office has done no thing with the claims that have been filed as a result of tbe late war with Spain. They do not think they will exceed a bond red, and most of them are for widows and next of kin of tbe boys who fell before Santiago. W aie a naton of coffee drinkers ac cording to Ibe treaory bureau of statis tics which has just issued a report show. ing that our imports of coffee for tte fiscal year reach 870,5 14.215 poncds.and that tbe anneal coffee bill for tbe coon try for tbe past ten years has averaged- 587,500,000 We have usually purchased tbe bulk of our coffee in Brazil, paying chiefly cash instead ot in goods ot otr own production, and attention is called to the fact that in the acquisition of Cuba Porto Rico and Havana we have secured euffic;ent coffee gtowing terrie troy to supylv our own wants in this di rection.

They are always pleased to have people call and see their goods, connuentot giving saumaction in quality and prices. The indications are that tbe United States in the future will have s perma nent etanding army of fully one hucd red thousand men, fonr times tbe long established size of oar army. This does not meet the approval of tbe Da hoc bat, nor probably a large number of the peo ple of the United States. As a peace nation of Christian character we should have a email army no larger than we have had. We can be a strong nation without this enormoui expense. Oar volunteers will be equal to any occasion that may ariee. A big army savors of imperailiam in the old sense In which it was applied to European empire, and we should guard zealously against any spirit ot the kind. A big standing army is not consistent with our free institu tions and democratic form of govern ment, and it ie to be hoped the govern ment does not take a revolutionary course in this matter of our army. Washinotok, August 22, 1898. "Let Admiral Dhwey dictate oar po licy towards the Philippins Islands.'' That is ths sum and substance ot the advici that some ot his most '.evel-head-ed friends, who bave observed the tact that Dewey has not made a single mis take from the day he destroyed the Spanish fleet to the day be forced tbe surrender of Manila, have been giving Mr. McKinley, who apparently la still without a policy of his own. It has been urged upon nim that Dewey daring ths foar months he has been In Manila bay, has throughly familiarised himselt with the condition of tbe islands, and would be better able than any man who la not there, to aay what relatione wt ought to maintain towards thsm. It baa also been pointed out to him that the public confidence in Dewey's judg ment and patriotism would cause his decision to be received wtihout question by tbs'people. All of these things Mr. McKinley baa acknowledged, and he would doubtless be glad to adopt and act upon the advice were it not that some ol his political advisers havs aroused his ea'.ousy of Admiral Dewey aa a possible rival in 1900, and told him tbat D -wry mast bs kept in the background if he wanted to keep him out ot tbe White Bouse. Not satisfied with reducing the salary of a man who was at one time consider ed competent to fill the position of Chief Clerk, tbe Civil Service Commission has dismissed tbe man for criticism ot bis superiors tn office, an awful crime, in the minds ot bis superiors. Gen. Blanco is showing a disposition to take advantage ot the published die inclination ot tbe adminatration to send an armyot occupation to Cab before cool weather, to carry things with a high band at Havana, and o prejudice the rabble against th- U . t. Blanco's Intention to make tuturs trouble lor ns Is so plain that it is worrying the admin istration no little, and demands that Blanco be peremptorily called down, are reaching Mr. McKinley from all sections of tbe country. That there ie no limit to Spanish gall was shown by the unofficial objection made by tbe government of Spain to tbe selection of Senator Davis, ot Minn., Chairman of ths Senate Comrrittee on foreign relatione, to be one of the Amer ican Peace Commissioners, because bia an U-Spanish views were too strong and too wall known. Were such an objec tion bold to be valid. Mr. McKinley would have to choose for Peace Com mietioners such men aa Senator Welling ton, of Md., and Senator Hale, of Me. about the only two Senators who made their friend lineee towards Spain con- spldons daring the debate which preced ed the war. It will be all np with Mr. McKinley if every one of the five Peace Commissioners chosen by bim, are not known to be strongly anti-Spanish in their views. Already there has some criticism of tbe selection of Secre tary Day, lor that very reason, bat it has remained within bouade because it ie known that Mr. Day will advance the opinions of Mr. McKinley, and not bis own, when the Pence Commieeioo meets. Another exhibition of Spanish gad. which was probably put out lor a feeler, was tbe attempt of Sagaata to appear to take it lor granted that tbe Spanish Am baeeador at Paris would be the presiding office at tbe deliberations ol the Peace Commission. His talk msrsly caused a emits ia Washington. As the victorious power, the U. S. baa the right, not only to name the presiding officer, if such be needed, but to insist that its Commis sioners taae precedence in every way over those of 8pain, aod Mr. McKinley is not likely to waive those rif ht. MISFITS. HAlbany Nimrbds are preparing for a "fneral attack on China tomorrow and there will probably be nothing left tor Kussia and England to quarrel over. Even the elements sre against tbe Spaniards. A dispatch from Hong Kong says that recently 900 of them were drowned while trying to escace from the Philippine islands, at a time when the natives were alter them. Men just from Dawson say that tbe price of things will be as low as in Port land. That forty or fifty boats had gone up the Yukon loaded down. Tbia leaves nothing for Senator McBride to do but labor to get a U. 8. gun boat for tbe rortiand exposition. Thejare on tbe White Pass and Yu kon Railroad is probably the highest of any railroad in the world. It has been outit 12 miles and 1.75 ie charged for the ride over it, about 15 cents a mile. The freight rate has not been announc ed. Great minds ran in the same channel. T. Dewitt Talmage, who is in Portland today is opposed to a lsrge standing army and says: "For a etanding army a all to the pairiotism of the nation is all that ia neceesarv to get aa many men as wanted." He ia though properly in fatorofa strong navy, an institution that takes yeare to build up. TELEGRAPHIC I REAL ESTATE SALES. Mrs. Cbtrchill. wife of an O.

A gentleman from Eastern Oregon tells a good story on H. N. Cockerline. It appears that while driving a buck- board be met a freight wagon on a grade on the side of a mountain, and he turn ed out on the wrong side aa he waa afraid of upsetting. The driver of the freight wagon cooly picked up a shot gun and told Bert to drive out ot the other aide, which he did without parley. Eu gene Guard. It is a fact tbat almott staggers one that to whip a nation, secure the inde pendence of a country and the acquisi tion of two countries it coat the United State only 2ti0 men killed in Uio army. 12 in the navy and 7 in tbe marines, a total ol 279. Frequently there are people who can get np an item much better than the editor. One in Scio showed the News man the proper war aa follows : met, r. to. unloaded a cripple lady at helburn Monday with a wooden leg ana lots ot ireigbt.' The Czar of Rassia baa proposed a general peace conference of tbe Europe an powers to eettle the great eastern queetion that ia now causing a great deal of ccntentiou with tbe probability, at least possibility of war. This is an en lightened move, and the proposition Is one tbat shoold meet tbe hearty ap proval of every European power. With tbe present intelligence that prevails in tbe world all matters ot contention aris ing between nations should be amicably settled without resort to arms. Thsrs can be no excuse for war between Christian nations. With a spirit of jui tice sod a desire to do tbe fair thing as ail nations ae well as individuals should, two nations can easily come together and agree upon terms tbat wijl be satis factory. Tbe sup. erne selfishness and spirit of imperialism tbat exists, though, renders this sometimes a difficult thing to do. There ie nothing in the present trouble over Chinese territory tbat can justify war in this age of the world. Ii Rassia and England go to war it will really be because they are jealous of each other, and there is a fear that one is getting ahead of the other in tbe all pervading expansive fever tbat has at tacked the nations of tbe world. This movs on ths part ot the Czar should cer tainly reault in some kind of an agree ment tbat will establish peace and not wai. Prof. Norton of Harvard College baa tak ena very pessimistic view of affairs In an address as follows: Peace has son inallyeome. The actual conflict baa ended, bat lees than 100 days of war has resulted in a revolution in toe Unitsd States. Tbe foundation on which the Republic baa reefed have been un Milled the principles upon which tbe Govern ment depends has been violated. We have undertaken obligations which neitb or oar Institutions nor oar national cbar aeter enables ns properly to discharge we, the one great non-military power In tie world, have saddenly joined the ranks of the nations burdened with great armies and navies ; we bave loaded our elves with aa enormous increase of ad' ditional debt and with an enormous in' crease oi annual expenditures, ;a per manent oppressive tax npoo tbe indus try of tbe people, and whatever disposi lion may be made of tbe Philippine we are already, though holding them and claiming tbe right to dispose of them brought into entangling relatione with tbe nations of tbe world and run tbe risk of losing tbe inestimable boon which has hitherto been oarr, of freedoat ia tbeeomplications of tbo international policies of tbe Old World, and of rem alnlog tbe independent masters ot on own fortunes. It is, indeed, a moment ous revolution. How's This? W o offer One Hundred Dollars Re ward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J. CHENEY & Co., Props., Toledo, O.
