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. Coquille Sentinel.

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 AND SLEEP.
Eating Before Retiring and Digestion
During Slumber.
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.
