A hardship on many poor people, but a good change from slipshod careless methods of road work, Lane county is getting good work out of the people in road building without iuiHisiiifj any undue hard ship on her citizens, l'hey appre ciate the benefits of the splendid roads that h ive been, and are being built, and little shirking is done by the tax workers. Crushed rock is responsible for the change. Under tbo old way of building roads the work was substantially wasted. The people knew it, hence worked carelessly and with little spirit. Our road building is permanent, and tlio people appreciate the change from the old system. "High" church and "low" church controversies divide attention with the Transvaal war with tlie London public. The question at issue, over which a war of words has taken place, is whether or uot incense ahili be burnt during the estab lished church services.

A good way from home, and costly, both for money and life, but President McKinley and his ad Tisers seek fume and glory in war oven though it be with inferior races in it densely populated country, and the people must grin and boar it. Tho administration is in the position of the soldier who informod his superior that ho had caught a Tartar. The officer ordered the soldier to bring him in, mid was informed tbat he was un able to do so. Then came the order, "Cottle in yourself," which brought the reply: "He won't let me."

There is a tree in Persia to which the name "tho sorrowful tree" is given. PcrhapH because it bloHsoma only in the (VI ning. When the first star appears in the heavens the tint bud of the sorrowful tree opens, and as the shades of night advance and the stars thickly stud the sky the buds continue gradually open ing until the whole tree looks like one iuinieiiM. white flower 'in the approach of dawn, when the brilliancy of the stars gradually fades in the light of day, the sorrowful tree closes its flow ers, aud ere tho m is fully risen not a single blossom is visible. A sheet of flower dust as white us snow covers the ground around the foot of the tree, which wen in blighted and withered dur ing the day, while; however, it is ac tively preparing for tho next nocturnal festival. The fragrance of tho blossoms is like that of the evening primrose. If the tree ia cut down close to the ns'ts, a new plant slnsits up and attains maturity iu an incredibly short time lu the vicinity of this singular tree there usually grows another, which ii iilinoft an exact coiintcrpartof tbo sor rowful tree, but less tei4utifnl, and, strange to say, it blooms only In the daytime. St. Louis (Hobo-Democrat. A e. ..I. Willi . ...... Good I'olnta. Some yearn ago in an agricultural district there lived a farmer who wuut ed to Hell one ..f hia cows. There was md at that time a weekly piqicr in which he could advertise, so he rcwilvtd to follow a local custom and ask tho vicar of the parish when giving out bis DOtloM at church to advertise the cow. "Yea farmer." said tho vicar, "I should Is. willing to oblige you. but yon don't attend my church." Presently, however, they struck a bargain that the vicar should advertise the OOW, aud the man in return prom ised to go to church. Now, unfortunately the man waa deaf, and on the Sunday following when the vicar gave out the banns of mar riage between Joseph So-and so, bach elor, niiil Sarah So-and-so. spinster, the fanner t.n.k it for granted that tho vicar waa giving out particulars of his cow and shouted out: "You might as well say while you are about it that she ia a most gentle . rent ure and entirely free fromvico." Stray Stories. Occupations Affcet Faces. "A man's occupation or condition baa more to do with making hia faco than moil people think," observed a gentleman who ia somewhat a judge of character. "Intellectual pursuits, like the studies of the scholarly profession, when conplol with temperate and good moral habits of life brighten the face and give the person a refined and su perior look. Magnanimity of nature or the love of study and art will make a bright, glad faco, but contrary to this a man may have a face that does not plea, anybody because of a love of self to tho exclusion of others, notwith standing his learning and worldly shrowiUieaa. Soldiers get a hard, severe look; rojiorters look inquisitive; mathe maticians look studious; judges look grave, even when off the bench; tho man who has bad domestic trouble looks all broken up. "An example of the ludicrous side of this subject is to see a third class law yer stalking around a police court look ing aa wise as an owl. The business niak.-s the face, I say. Therms the mer chant's face, the ministerial face, the lawyer's face, the doctor's face, tho hoodlum's face, all so distinct each from tho other and singly that I seldom fail to recognize those calliugs shining through tho faces. And what city bred boy cannot recognize a gennine farmer the moment he sees him on tbo street?" Washington Star. HOOD HO A OS MKK. Those who help themselves are, generally, the best helped. The roads out of Corvnllis were in bad shape and the county could not, or would not do anything. The citi zens took hold of the matter with this result as reported by the Times: "Mote than $100 per dty is now being paid out tor the Improvement south of town, community is Wanlril n llnimtril IIiiuip. The following curious letter was re cently rcechod by a house renting agency iu Loudon: "Have you a reputed haunted house on your books T I urn not afraid of ghosts.

Although every konsekeeicr may not be a member of a band of mercy or hu mane society, sho can help on the good work if she will practice Home of tho society's rule. For example, let her bear in mind that crabs to be properly killed should before Ixiiling bo thrust through tho month and Uly with u sharp steel at one blow. V hen a lobster Is required, insert n narrow bluded knife int.. the third joint of tho tail, severing the spinal cord. This will cause instant death and is much loaa cruel thau to put it into the water alive, especially if it is not boil ing, as the lolwter then suffers a slow, lingering death. Terrapin also should bo mercifully killed before liciug cooked. The eel tribe is said to bo a terrible sufferer from man's inhumanity to fish. So difficult is it apparently to kill eels that teople have even ceased to try to kill them at all. If their heads were cut off before they were otherwise handled, they would at onco bo out of misery. Buffalo Express. Jack Itrdrrntrd lllniseir.

"Saturday Evening Poet Where' Yonr Dead Spot I Most people have doubted their eyes when at some conjuring performance they have seen a man run needles and pins through both cheoks. evincing no pain as he does so. In reality every per son has hundreds of senseless specks of skin ull over his body through which ho could run pins, or even cut them ont, without feeling any pain. If some one else wero to do so when he wus blind folded, ho would not bo even nware of tho fact. Physicians call them dead spots, and tho reason that one man can sew his cheeks up while another could not is simply because the former hap pens to have many hundreds of these spots in one place. These dead HjMits are caused by tbo minute nerves which convey every sen sation to tho brain being either absent in th. se particular places or dead and .senseless. Hut shonld any ono of our readers allow himself to lie blindfolded, and then get ono of his friends to prisi him very gently with a cleun needle, say all on one arm, out of every hun dred pricks ho will feel only about 60 or 70 nt the most.
