Newspaper Page TextTHE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD. OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 11908. ITJFTT fKtNION THINKS WE ARE ONLY FOOLING Contractor Fcnton Still Busy Circu lating Petition Asking for More Time. A. person was in Coquille last week with a petition requesting the postal authorities to lengthen tho time In which to bring tho mall from Rose liurg to this city. He called on one or two persons but was unsuccessful In this city as far as we can learn, but from a Myrtle Point gentleman wo are informed that he secured about ninety names. The gentleman on whom ho called first in this city said he had about twenty names on the list. The last number is about right, as thero aro very few people who receive any quantity of mall dally who desire to havo it later than it is now. It would be a good thing lor tho patrons of the offices in this county to get up a remonstrance protesting against It, so that by no "kook or crook would ho bo able to have his petition considered, as the remonstrance signed by tho patrons would show that It was against pub lic policy to havo it any later than now.

AMERICAN EGG IN NEW BOLE Serves as Indicator of Pacific Coast Country's Late De velopment. TODAY'S MARKET Brussels Sprouts, 10c lb. Cauliflower, 15c head. Lettuce, 5c head Spinnagc, 10c lb. Cabbago 3c lb. Celery 10c and 15c. Fish ' Flounders, 5c lb. Steelheads, 11 c lb. Perch, 5c lb. Crabs, 5 to 15c. J Who would ever think that the simple American egg would ever as sume the rolo of development prog nosticated Yet the egg, like other of Uncle Sam's progeny, may have other characteristics hidden under Its smooth exterior which will prove more surprising than this latest out cropping. "Eggs are extremely scarce and have 'been for some time," remarked a well known local groceryman this morning. "In fact," he continued, "the Pacific coast has been using eastern eggs for a great many months. The reason assigned for this condition is that the late great influx of immigration has far ex ceeded the development of the agri cultural resources. "Locally our egg supply is inade quate to meet the demand, and thus, even in a rich country like that of Coos Bay, the people are forced to use the undeslred packed egg." It was suggested that, as the real gist of the trouble lay with the hens, they be subjected to a vigorous treatment in order to bring them to time. The suggestion met with scorn from the merchant, who, being some thing of a philosopher, reminded the speaker that, after all, tho American hen, while compelled to voice her thoughts In another tongue, was only feminine and that tho precept of love to lead instead of drive applied equally as forcibly as to her higher sister. If unfortunate In eggs, however, Coos Bay is more than vindicated in Its fish market. Anything in this line, from tho humble clam nt 50 cents per bucket to the lordly halibut at 12 t, cents a pound, can be pur chased on tho bay at prices far be neath those charged In the whole sale market In Portland.

Diet has little influence on sleep ex cept In so far as it may produce dis turbances of digestion and through these of the general balance of health. Tho hypnotic effects of certnlu foods, such as onions, lettuce, milk, etc., nre chiefly Imaginary. Even the time of the last meal of the day is of Vehitlve ly littlo Importance except that it is well to let this bo at least two or three hours before retiring. But even this rule has many exceptions, us many healthy laboring men habitually fall asleep ovef their pipes directly after supper, and children after poking tho spoon into their little eyes nod off over the tea table, with the bread nnd but ter still clutched in their chubby lists. Tho processes of digestion probably go on more slowly during sleep, but they are perfectly carried out, as is il lustrated by the almost Invariable hab it among animals of going to sleep directly after a meal. Indeed, a moderate amount of food in tho stomach or Intestines seems to promote slumber. Many night workers, for instance, sleep much better for tak ing a light or even full supper Just be fore retiring. Dr. Woods Hutchinson In American Magazine. The Tenors' Parts. Probably the composers nro largely responsible for tenor worship. In Ver di's operas, with hardly an exception, tho tenor plays a moro important part than the baritone or bass, 'and tho same is true of othor opera writers. Mozart's "Don Giovanni" being a nota ble exception. Wagner wrote ono opera. "The Flying Dutchman," in which the baritone is king, whereas in six of his works the supremacy of tho tenor is indicated by the very titles "Rieuzi." "Tnnnhnuser," "Lohengrin." "Tristan und Isolde," "Siegfried," "Parsifal." This being so. we shall probably continue to be subject to the tyranny of oue tenor or another, unless it bo true, as was maintained at a con clave of French savants, that the tenor voice is n relic of barbarism, destined to become extinct Argonaut Poems, Pictures and Songs. It takes all kinds of people to make up n world and nil kinds of poetry to mako up a world literature. Despite tho efforts of tho critics to lay down definite canons of judgment for tho literary, pictorial and musical arts most of us continue to like a poem, a picture or a song for no better reason than because wo like It It appeals to us, and If It does that It Is for us a true poem, plcturo or song. Whether it is to be classed 'among the great products of art Is another question. That depends upon tho universality and perraanenco of the appeal it makes. Current Literature. Trifling Favors.
