The Youth's Companion, in or
der to stimulate patriotism in th
public schools of the country, of
fered last January as a prize to b
competed for by the pupils of tht
same in each state and territory ii
the Union a United States flag
measuring nine by fifteen feet, foi
the best essay on the subject ol
the "Patriotic Influence of the
American Flag when raised over
the Public Schools."" Pupils in
forty-one states and six territories
competed for the prize. The Da
mascus public school in district
No. 77, Clackamas county, won
the flag in Oregon, the essayist be
ing Myrtle Breithaupt, while Van
couver won the prize for Washing
ton, Walter Seward being the es
sayist. The publishers of the
Companion announce that the
competition was very spirited and
that the efforts of the young
authors were highly creditable.
He gives from one of the essays
the following passage: "The hope
of the nation is in the public
school and the emblem of the na
tion is the flag; let the two be
united," adding that the happy
connection between the flag and
the school has never been better
expressed and cannot be better
presented in words. Among the
successful competitors were twenty
eight girls and nineteen boys.
Those from the Southern states
are all girls, a fact that, taken in
connection with hatred of the
Southern women for the old flag a
quarter of a century ago, may be
considered indicative of an impor
tant change in sentiment in the
South. Oregonian.
A Danbury correspondent of the
Hartford Courant writes that Con
necticut city is at present well
nigh demoralized by a lottery
oraze. It seems that an operative
in one ot the hat factories drew a
big prize in the Louisiana Lottery
recently, and a large proportion of
the 5,000 operatives in Danbury
have been buying lottery tickets
ever since, The craze has gone to
such an extent that business is in
terfered with. Families suffer and
storekeepers complain loudly.
All the working people are talking
lottery and it is not the poor alone
who buy tickets. It is estimated
that Danbury has lost more money
in this manner than from all other
calamities put together for a long
period. There is reason to believe
that the prize referred to was al
lowed to go to Danbury to revive
drooping interest, as it is openly
charged that the lottery managers
shrewdly drop a prize in communi
ties and among classes of working
men where it will excite the gam
bling instinct. Not long ago a
prize was drawn in this way.
doubtless, by a Boston barber, and
it is said to have been the worst
thing that ever happened to
barbers in this city. The gam
bling instinct is strong in human
nature, and an institution which
panders to that instinct and pro
vokes it where it would not other
wise be aroused is a curse to the
whole nation. Our government
ought to be sufficiently paternal
to prevent the ignorant and credu
lous from being victimized in this
way. The business is largely done
through the mails.
The historic- building in Brus
sells in the hall of which occurred
the famous ball of the Duke and
Duchess of Richmond on the eve
of the battle of Waterloo is to be
sold at auction. The ball is im
mortalized by Byron in the lines
beginning with the, oft quoted
words: "There was a sound of rev
elry by night."
An exchange notes, as the best
example of mingled hope and fear,
a lazy man looking, lor work.
THE NEW STATE.
Idaho, the newest state in the
American Union, will some day be
dassed as one of the richest. Up
o 1863 it formed a portion of the
erritory of Oregon, that undefined
erritorial division whose boundary
vas long a matter of dispute be
vveen Great Britain and the Uni
ed States. When first organized
t also included portions of the pre
vious territories of Washington,
Oregon, Utah and Nebraska. It
will be interesting information to
he younger elements of the popu
lation of the new state to learn
that not so very long ago two ter
ritories Nebraska and Oregon
reached from the Missouri river to
;he Pacific Ocean. In 1861 the
boundaries were fixed as they are
found to-day.
It is not improbable that a few
lardy voyageurs may have pene
rated Idaho in the closing decade
f the last century. But the first
eliable information about this
mknown and myterious region
-vas that contributed by the explo
rers, Lewis and Clarke, who jour
neyed across the western part of
the continent in the beginning of
the present, century. Although
three-fourths of a century has since
rolled away and the once mysteri
)us land has become one of the
sovereign states in the American
Union, opportunity is not wanting
or the explorer and the adventu
rer to search out new fields of
wealth and beauty.
Wm. II. Wallace was the first
governor of the territory, serving
from 1863 to 1864. It is also inter
esting to note that the first gold
was discovered on the Pend
l'Oreille river. That was in 1852,
but it was not until 1860 that the
first paying gold mine was opened
up at Oro Fino.
Idaho is truly the Gem of the
Mountains. In addition to her
wealth of majestic scenery she has
innumerable sheltered vales where
fruits andc ereals are produced a3
line as those grown anywhere in
the United States. The climate is
much milder than that of Mon
tana. In the valleys oi the snaice
and Clearwater rivers it has an
Italian softness that makes that
section one of earth's favored spots.
The mineral resources of the
state, particularly, of Northern Ida
ho, are yet in' their infancy.
While placer mining is compara
tively an old industry, the territo
ry yielding $8,000,000 in 1872, it!
has been only of recent years that
the possibilities of quartz mining j
have been even faintly understood.
Idaho also has broad and heavy
forests of cedar, fir, hemiock, Cot
tonwood, etc. Taken altogether,
the resources and scenic beauties
of the new state will surely make
her famous throughout the land,
and within a few years new cen
ters of population will spring up,
new sources of wealth will be de
veloped, and Idaho will take that
position in the American Union
to which her capabilities entitle
her. Spokane Review.
A single page in an issue of the
Century- taken for advertising pur
poses costs $500, and in Harper's
$400. A yearly advertisement in
one column of the Chicago Tribune
costs $26,554 for the lowest and
$130,000 for the highest priced
columns. These figures will doubt
less be of interest to men who
invest $2 or $3 and flatter them
selves with the idea that they are
extensive advertisers, and also to
those who so frequently ask why
country papers cannot be printed
as cheap as city papers. Ex.
There are twenty-two democrat
ic governors of states and twenty
republicans. All of the ex-slave
states and Iowa. Montana, New
Jersey, New York,. Ohio and Ore
gon have democratic governors.
A Georgia editor apologizes for
the scarcity of news in his paper
and savs: "We will have plenty
of news next week, as we have
taken a census contract, - and we

It is said that after the census

acute or chronic diseases, with

"Consumption, heart disease, pleu
risy, bronchitis, diabetes, softening
of the brain, Bright's disease,
