The emperor of Austria is 6trongly op­
posed to capital punishment.
The Turkish sultan plays rather well
on the piano and does it a great deal, to the
joy of his household.
The emperor of China is bound by the
etiquette of his court to dine alone, and the
evening repast almost Invariably consists
of eight courses.
The Russian empress became recently
grand mistress of the Ladies’ Order of St.
Catherine, which was founded by Peter
the Great and is the first female decoration
in Europe.
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland is now
old enough to wear her hair turned up,
and there will shortly be an issue of coins
and stamps bearing her portrait with the
new coiffure.
The Empress Elizabeth of Austria will
spend the winter to the end of January at
Mentone, where the emperor will join her.
In the month of February she will cruise
off the coast of Spain.
The Grand Duke of Baden, who has
shown his anger at the dismissal of Count
Caprlvl by Emperor William, is, with the
possible exception of the king of Saxony,
the most popular and Influential ruler in
Germany.
Emperor William’s love for music is not
a new development. When a student at
the University of Bonn, he studied the
violin as a surprise to his parents, and the
late Emperor Frederick was so pleased
that he declared that the young man
‘ought to be a Kapellmeister.”
Those “ N ig g ers.”
Marshfield, Or., Jan. 6.—Labor troub­
les have broken out anew in Coos county,
and the termination of the present condi­
tion of affairs is a subject now being
thoroughly discussed by almost every
citizen of this county. Last month the
Beaver Hill Coal Company had 50 ne­
groes, some of them with families, im­
ported from West Virginia, to operate
the mines. The white force, on the eve
of the arrival of the negroes, was reduced
in pay to 45 cents per ton, aud conse­
quently quit. The arrival of the negroes
disclosed the fact that they were very
much disappointed, and said the compa­
ny’s agent grossly misrepresented the
facte. Only a few of them have gone to
work, and they are disgusted. A portion
of them have started on their return
home, and the coal miners at Libby have
subscribed a large 6um of mouey to seud
the women and men, who are iu destitute
circumstances, back home. A subscrip­
tion list ie also being circulated iu Marsh­
field for that purpose. It is generally
reported here today that the coal com­
pany has dispatched a man to Beattie to
bring in another consignment of negroes.
The white miners at Libby are paid 75
cents per ton for mining coal.
[Later reports from Coos bay state that
the negroes are in Marshfield being pro­
vided for by the county, and will return
to Virginia as soon as they are furnished
means.]
Use only high test oil In the kerosene
lamp.
At all times avoid gloom, chill and
dampness in the home.
Burn the lamps low and throw away
the Impure oil at least once a month.
Once a month is often enough to black
a stove If it be kept clean in the mean­
time.
The lighter the color on the walls of the
room the less artificial light will be re­
quired.
Rub the stove over with an old chamois
after blacking to remove the dry carburet
of iron.
It is a serious mistake to put into too
small a heater. Far better to err in the
other direction.
A bright, strong kerosene light is the
best substitute for daylight, so far as hu­
man eyesight is concerned.
In trimming the lamp simply remove
the charred portion of the wick and not
the unburned though blackened fiber.
Remove the nickeled work before black­
ing a stove, and polish it before replacing.
Do not black the bright edges of the Iron.

keeping.

«378,000,000 are treasury notes.
The cash in the treasury is classified as

000,000; paper, «122,000,000; general
accouut, disbursing officers. balances, etc.,

ing to «629.000,000, leaving a cash balance
of «153,977,579, of which «86,244,442 is

Advices received from the sub-treasury
state that «300,000 was withdrawn for
export,

with
the
with­
drawal last Sunday, leaves the amount of
gold reserve «83,000,000.
A statement issued by the Director of
Mints shows the coinage of the mints

In converting redwood into railroad ties
It is stated that for every tie produced,

Estimating the length of the railways
on the globe at 60,000 miles, with ten
trains daily, It is calculated that the loss
by wear and tear on the metallic rails
amounts to 600 tons a day.
It Is reported that the Big Four intends
to put on Its own drawing room, buffet

soon, because all Vanderbilt lines are

Twenty-five miles of the Kongo railroad,
forming the first section between Matange

has cost $100,000 a mile. The liDe will be

immense waterways above Stanley Falls
with the sea.
“ Rock Me to Sleep M other.
The poem, “Rock Me to Sleep Mother’,
was written by Elizabeth Akers Allen’
known otherwise as “Florence Percy.”
I t ie a general favorite for it is a sweet
little touch of home life. B ut there ie
another side to the picture. Many a
mother rocks her child to sleep w ho can
neither rest nor sleep herself. She is
always tired, has an everlasting back­
ache, is low spirited, weary, nervous and
all that. Thanks be, she can be cured.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will do
the work. There is nothing on earth like
it, for the “complaints” to which the sex
are liable. Once used, it is always in
favor.

Special reports to Bradstreet’s from
1,117 banks of discount, at 122 cities,
give possibly the best index of the con­
dition of the country under the present
administration. W hile deposits at these
1,117 banks increased 1 per cent in the
summer of 1891, and again in 1892,
they decreased 20 per cent in 1893.
W hile loans increased 2 per cent iu the
summers of 1891 and of 1892, they
decreased 13 per cent iu 1893. W ithin
16 months deposits have gained only 9
per cent against 12 per cent increase
in 16 months of 1891-2. Loans are now
2.4 per cent sm aller than 16 months
ago, whereas in 1891-2 they gained 10
per cent. Less money out on loan means
less business and less manufacturing.
Less deposits mean less prosperity, less
earnings, less savings. Oh, for 1896!

tarrh is a blood or constitutional disease,
and in order to cure you must take inter­
nal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the blood

is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this oonn-

It is oomposed of the best tonios known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaoes.
The perfect combination of the two in­

It has already been demonstrated in
the case of the Yairow alum inium tor­
pedo boat that that metal, even in alloy,
is unable to resist the corroding action
of 6alt water. The experiments recently
made by the American naval authori­
ties in this respect are fully borne out.
It remains to be seen whether the claim
made in behalf of the alum inium boat
recently tested in the Thames is ju s ti­
fied.
