Unfortunately, however, he did not know the name of the faith he wished to embrace, so he applied for informa tion to the family doctor. "Dochtor," said he, "phwat is thot new religion thot cooms fram India? The owld woman has it thot bad, thot I can't slape nights." "What is the name of it?" asked the doctor. "Is is Moham medanism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Tao ism, or what?" "So Sorr, it is not wan ov thim izms. But it iz loike the tramps migrashun of the sowl." "0, you probably mean the transmi gration of the soul." "Yis, vis dochtor, thot iz it. Wot iz thot?" "Well, transmigration is a very pretty, poetic doctrine of meta morphosis, which our friends of the Theosophical Society have borrowed from the far East "Yis, yis dochtor, but ecsplain wot thotiz."

D. Wood. Last season 1 bought a number of wild heifers ; so wild I could not get my hands upon them, nor would they take feed from my hand. I was in a lot of trouble in my mind as to how I could ever make gentle milch cows from such wild heifers. I made one failure She calved in a hog lot, and for fear the hog might get the calf I was soon on the ground, and as the little fellow had rolled into a ditch I took it up and carried it outside, expecting the dam to follow ; but no sir. She would not leave the spot until I forced her out. She did not come back for a day and then I could not get her to own the calf, which died. I could not rope the dam, and I lost the cow, as a milker, and the calf. This was my start. I promised myself to wait next time until the mother and offspring got mutually acquainted before I stepped in to play my part in the f ro gramme. New as to the successful plan. I leave them together until the cow will follow the calf into danger say 24 hours then I take the calf into a shed which I can make dark and tight, bavin; The Hind of - - Frames i to be used is very much a matter of taste. It is import ant, though, that the frames set properly on the nose, and at the right distance from the eyes. That the lenses be perfectly centered, and how are yon to know when some one is guessing.

The following cities are now j fornia, passed through the city Tuesday joined by the steel bonds of the system: morning enroute to Elkton to visit her New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Kan sas City, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Denver, Al Paso, Fort Worth, Galveston, New Orleans, Memphis, Birmingham (Ala.) and Washington. This is now by far the largest railroad system in North America, if not in the world. This road is now building from Denver to Salt Lake City and it will extend from thence toa deep water port on the Pacific Coast. What is there to prevent a delegation of Koseburg citizens going to head quarters with maps and all data necessary and laying before the controlling power of the system the claims of a Coos Bay, Koseburg and North Umpqua roate to Salt Lake City. The writer knows by experience in securing railroads that such interviews when backed up by facts count greatly in running railroad lines. No city on the Pacific has such great advantages to offeras the Roseburg route when everything is taken into consideration. The Doctrine of Transmigration. The Reverend George Bennett has a barrel full of sermons and jokes stowed away and he uses the jokes occasionally to make his point apparent. It will be remembered that last November at the Irrigation Convention at Portland that Congressman Williamson eat down rather heavy on an irrigation ditch scheme and Colonel King replied to his Epeech the next day and the following was published in the Oregonian, and was cut out and eaved to be worked over on the Plaindealeb: In the part left out of the religious article of last Thurs day, he says: "Reminds me of the parents.
