RoKcburg Review: A loading business man ol Roscburg wiid to a Ri view representative that hia firm had resolved to adverliso ex clusively in the newspapers in tho future. "Wo have spent a great deal of money ou various schemes, and it heciu like throwing money away," said he. ''But we know that newspaper advertising pays becauHO we hear from our news paper mis from every part of the country." Thus it is that every observing and successful business man do lares in favor of thu newt paper aa an adver'.i ing medium. It is u waste of money to use curds, posters, and the r.i. uerouB schemes that are being constantly worked by fakirs. The lust Klamath Star had the following ominous appeal to its subscribers: "It is the oiistoni of uewspnper men that after many timely warnings to delinquent sub scribers ami receiving no rcsMiise from tin tn whatever, to blacklist them.

Now if you don't want to sou your name published with the amount you owe for subscription, I will give you ono up.re fhiince. I will give you all ample lime to settle, before publish ing your nu.ni-a. Remember that thia is my last suppliculion."

The San Francisco Kx iiniucr saya there i one curious fact respecting tin- animal creation w itli w hi. h nne will never become i.ciminicd if ho depend on his text book for information. It is this: No liv ing representative of the animal kingdom has more than live toes, digits or claws to each loot, hand or limb. Tho horse ia the type of one toed creation, tho camel of the two toed, the rliinoccrous of the throe-toed, and the hippopotamus of the four-toed animal life. The elephant and hundreds of other animals belonging to the d fTorent orders belong to the great flve food trilio. Republic: liridgcr Lake, in Northwest Wyoming, has a queer characteristic, and ono which can not ho claimed for any other body of water in America, as fur r we have h"on informed. It bus this peculiarity: It discharges its waters into Itolli the RaciHc Ocean ami tho Gulf of Mexico. During the aveiagn seasons tho waters of Rridger Lake How out through a small river which is a tributary to the Yellowstone, and tho waters thus discharged finally reaches the Gulf by way of tho Missouri and Mississippi river. During rainy seasons the l-vel of tho lake be comes so high that tho waters empty through another opening also. Tho waters which are dis charged through this second chusm flow into the Snake river, and thenco to tho Pacific Ocean through thu Columbia. There is a colony of four hundred tramps on the sand dunes on Sixth avenue iu San Francisco, who have Ix-en l'ving there for several years. Recently they hud an addition to their number iu Ivan lioblovitch, a Russian who (lies the flag of his country over his tent. The rest ol tho colony objected to this, and threatened the Russian with punish iiiont if ho did not draw down tho emblem of the czar; but ho refused to do so. Tho pol.ee have been ap pealed to, to compel tho removal of tho obnoxious banner, and the patriotic hobos threatened to com mence war on tho Russian contin gent if tho proper steps aro not taken at once.

A party was given in tho Richardson bull, which was largely attended by young people from Al bum. During tho evening, a lot of young fellows came over from tho Wist Side, and it was not very long lieforo the two elements be en mo very aggressive towards each other the East and the West Sidcrs. It did not take very long to precipitate a frte fight with the West Hdo gang. It wus very livo ly for a while. A dozen or more were slugging each other in the dunco hull amidst tho wildest con fusion. There was considerable excitement, us everybody who did not wish to get involved in the row tried to either g t out side or out of reach. A young man who was present said bo tried to get out of the surging crowd by climbing on a bench, but presently the bench was turned over, and he found him self in the thickest of the row. He then sailed in and hit the head of every West-Sider be could rea-'h. Durrani has written a sketch of bis lifo. Here is a paragraph in it; most people after reading it wilt believe him besides being a mur derer to bo the biggest hypocrite in existence. "Hut, after all" beany, "this world is only a temporary trial, to prepare us for another and belter world. This existence consists of only a few troubles and painful years at best, but there we will enjoy eternal happiness in company w ith the angels of Clod. We have the assurance of the holy Scriptures that riches and prosper ity here are imjMdimrnts to hap piness hereafter. Tho beggar Laza rus is shown to us in the uiidst of everlasting bliss, while tho rich man Dives, who had supported him for year by crumbs from his table, and wore clothed in purple and fine linen, is represented to us burirng in everlasting hell. Anoth er thing we might romemU'r is that it ia loss diflioulty tor a camel to puH through the eye of a needle than f.r a rich man to enter thu kingdom nf heaven; so we may therefore, I think, rejoice in our dillioulties mid iiifliiiiuoa, fur we are tol l that 'tho-e whom the Lord lovcth lie chariteneth,' and, (hero lore, we can smi that the more wretched we are here iisin ihia earth in the love and trust in our Lord, the more assured we are of the delights of an everlasting h'.'avcn.
