Paine's Celery Compound
Relieves Pain.
Mrs. Margaret Bethel, of Brainerd, ninn.,
writes:
"For thirty years I have been a great sufferer from neuralgia in the head and also with rheuma
tism in the whole body. I began taking Puine's Celery Compound, and soon found that I was much
better. Before takine the Compound, mv life wa9 such a burden that I almost praved to lay it down.
wn bedfust every two weeks with horrible pain in the head, back and neck until I was almost crazy,
um able to do harder work and more of it today than for twenty-five years. I am really enjoying
fe again, thanks to Puine's Celery Compound. I am satisfied that my life has been prolonged many
. as
years by its use.
Paine's Celery Compound is a great reconstruct-
ant. The weakened, inflamed nerves are built up
and the nerve force increased. The stomach, liyer
and kidneys are kept in healthy action. The body is
kept free of acid blood and morbid waste material;
s made healthy and free from pain.

late a fortune. She hud a good eye
for business.
After a whllo. Mrs. Vaderbllt felt a
desire to live more like the aristocrats
nbout her, and moved her household
Into a house yvt standing In Burnet
street. Her It was that William H.
Vanderbllt wo born. Capt. Vander
bllt was promoted and wanted to give
up tho tavern, but his wife was not
willing to kill tho goose that lnld the
golden egg, nnd continued to wMcomo
trawlers. Ths good cheer of the hos
telry was famous.
(.'harks Spnuldlng kept an exeelUnt
private school at No. 370 George street,
In thosj days, and to this was young
V. II. Vanderbllt sent, having, for
schoolmates boya known later In life
its Gov. Ludlow, Wallop Hlchnrd Good
rich, Col. Jacob J. Janewny, Judge
Charles D. Pcshler and other proml
n.m Jersoynieii.
In 1834 the Reamer Ilcllonla was
burned. Vandvrbllt wns Immediately
transferred to another boat, which ran
for savernl yeans. Ills shrewdness won
the confidence of his employers, and
when a vacancy occurred In the New
York office "Commodore" Vanderbllt
wns made superintendent of the line.
Upon the death of M,r. Gibbons Mr.
Vanderbllt became president of the
Company. '
Ha moved to New York with his fam
ily, and the Bollonla hotel passed Into
the hands of Col. Peter Cheney, who
later served with, the Jersey troops
under Gen. McClellon In the civil war.
It Is now a tenement
From the Blrmlngton Pont.
Now that pheanant shooting has be
gun, then? Is great Interest attached to
timely article In the October number
of "Pearson's Magaxlne" describing
ow pheasants are reared at a Inrgti
pheasant nursery In Hertfordshire.
In the season some four thouxund birds
are kept In pen until ready to become
targets for old sportsmen. The phea
sants begin to lay In April and con.
tlnue to do so, though not necessurlly
every day, until the end of June. The
majority of the eggs are sold to those
sportsmen who prefer to rear the phoa
sants near their own coverts. Each
hon lays on an average from thirty to
forty dozen eggs when In captivity. In
its wild state the hen will only lay Just
enough eggs to form a sitting that Is
to any, nbout fifteen. Thousands u
egg.i are dispatched yearly to all quar
ters of the globe. They require very
careful packing, the eggs each bolng
wrapped separately In soft hay. nnd
then placed In hampers In numbers
varying from twenty-live to two hun
dred. The price changes with the sea
son. In May they will fetch from 4
to 3 per 100; In June they drop to SOs.
for the same number, whllo later on In
the year they are of such small value
that they are luted for food for the
young pheasants. Of course, many
pheasant lay their egRS in the woods,
but for these special keepers, or
"watchers," are constantly on the look
out, with a view to tho removal of the
eggs to safe quarters. If left undis
turbed the wild hen pheasant will In all
probability safely bring out her brood.
She would, however, require constant
attention for many weeks, and It hns
been discovered by long: experience
that It U less trouble to attend to fifty
hens In coops on the farm than to a
dozen wild pheasants scattered In the
woods. Only an experienced man would
locate the nest of a wild pheasant. The
beautiful cream brown essrs are skill
fully hidden under leave and twigs
when the bird leaves her nest. On
these occasions Bhe will run some dis
tance under cover before appearing" In
the open. So well does she assimilate
with her surroundings that the exper
ienced would fall to detect her, even
sometimes she will be actually trodden
upon before she discloses her presence.
A POEM ON MANKIND.
Like what is man, but like a sprouting
weed,
That grows and ripens but to cast Its
seed
Among the thistles and the tares of life
And then to see It strangled In the
stlft?
Or like the clouds that wander with the
bree::e
And pass unnoticed from a life of easoT
Or like a mushroom, sprung to life,
aias:
To starve or strangle In the tangled
grass T
These are thoughts that are apt to
come to many people at times, espe
daily when they are sick and have to
pay big prices for medicines. But there
Is one drug store In Oregon where you
can save from 10 to 25 per cent on
"verythlng you buy, and that Is J. A,
Cletnenson's Drug Store, at 227 Yam
hill street, Portland, Oro. At that store
you can get Hood's Sarsaparilla at 70c;
Mellen's Food, $1 size, 65c; Bromo Belt
rer. Jl size, 70c, and everything else at
the same low rate. You can get red
trading stamps there, and if-you need
the Natural Body Brace, you can get it
there.
WHERE TO EAT.
