amusement importing snow from the
Slue mountains, for this purpose, but it
is not too rich for Dalles boys.

the wagon and breaking the tongue.
Before Mr. Pashek could catch them
they had got under good headway;
turning the corner at the Chronicle
office they ran up Second street to
Brooks & Beers where they stopped.
There were forty dozen eggs in a box in
the wagrvEi when the team started, but
when Mr. Pashek examined their re
mains, he smiled and felt grateful . that
eggs are only worth fifteen cents a dozen.
The horses were unin jured and ten dol

The Blackvllle Twins
The musical comedy of the above name
was presented to a well'pleased audience
at the opera house last night by the
Hyer Sisters, a colored troupe taking
its name from the'two leading charact
ers. The play was perfectly clean from
beginning to end,, the acting was good
and the singing, of which the perform
ance consisted in great part, was such as
can come only from negro throats. The
plantation scenes and plantation melo
dies carried many of the audience back
to their childhood days. The cornet solo
by George Freeman, has never been
equalled in Paris except by Levi. Ike Mc
Beard in his specialties supasses Billy
Kersands or any other negro minstrel.
The two sisters in '.I'll Trovatore Verdi,"
were first-class, their singing and acting
being faultless. The Georgia Minstrels,
the Nashville Students, nor any other
colored troupe has ever given a perform
ance in Paris equal to that of last night,
Paris Texas Times. Nov. 6. 1890.
For a cut, bruise, burn or scald, there
is nothing equal to Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. It heals the parts more quickly
than any other application, and unless
the injury is very severe, no scar is left.

Eat Before Going to Bed.
Most students and . women who are
troubled with insomnia are dyspeptic,
and they should therefore eat before go
ing to bed, having put aside work at
least an hour before. If thev are not
hungry they should simple be instructed
to eat, and if" they are hungry they
should eat whatever they want. A glass
of milk and a biscuit is sometimes all
that can be taken at first or mashed po
tato buttered. If possible, the night
meal should be taken in another room
than the sleeping apartment, and for
men in the city it will be found advan
tageous to go out to a restaurant. Be
fore eating, however, a cold bath should
be taken, preferably cold or cool, which
should be given with a sponge or stiff
brush, and the body thoroughly rubbed
off with a coarse towel afterward.
Sonierville Journal.
The census shows some interesting
facts connected with the immense live
stock interests of the west. The num
ber of cattle ranging at large on the
plains is now 10,000,000, 3,000,000 less
than it was ten years ago. The reason
is not that the number of cattle is
so much smaller than it was ten
ago, but that the land has now
been taken up for homesteads, and the
cattle are on inclosed farms and ranches.
The census shows further that the num
ber of sheeD in the wpnt. hoa i
6,000,000, being now 28,000,000. The
northwest appears to be turning from
hogs to sheep for profit, there being
only 4,000,000 swine in that region in
place of the 8,000,000 told of by the last
census.

YOU NEED BUT ASK
PEASANT WOMEN fH JAPAN.
rkey Ax HMk Uw Same Today mm Tlnlw
AntMton Vk OeaUilM Ap,
The peasant woman , clad summer and
winter in the same drees of blue cotton,
and hardly distmgin&hable afar from
her husband, who wears his hair in a
knot like hers and is clad in a robe of
the same color the peasant woman who
is daily seen bowing over her toil in the
tea fields or in the liquid mud of the rice
swales, protected by a rough hat on days
when the sun burns, and having her
head completely enveloped when the
north-wind blows by a dreadful muffler,
always blue, that only leaves the almond
eyes to view the small and funny peas
ant woman of Japan, wherever she may
be sought for, even in most remote dis
tricts of the interior, is incontestably
much more refined than our peasant
woman of the west. She has pretty
hands and pretty delicate feet; a mere
touch would suffice to transform her into
one of those ladies that are painted on
vases or transparent screens, and there
would be little left to teach her of, man
nered graces, of affectations of all sorts.
She almost always cultivates a pretty
garden around her ancient cottage of
wood, whose interior, garnished with
white mats, is scrupulously' clean. Her
household utensils, her little cups, her
little pots, her little dishes, instead of
being, as with us, of common earthen
ware daubed with brilliant flowers, are
of transparent porcelain decorated with
those light and fine paintings that bear
witness of themselves to a long heredity
of art. She arranges with original taste
the altar of her humble ancestors. Final
ly, she knows how to arrange in her own
vases, with the least spray of verdure,
slender bouquets that the most artistic
among our women would hardly be ca
pable of composing.
She may possibly be more honest than
her sister of the cities and her life may
be more regular from our European
point of view, of course; she is also more
reserved with strangers, more timid,
with a sort of mistrust and dislike of the
intruders, notwithstanding her amiable
welcome and her smiles.
In the villages of the interior, far from
the recent railroads and from all modern
importations, in places where the mil
lenary immobility of the land has not
been disturbed, the peasant woman has
probably changed but little from what
must have been, several centuries ago,
her most remote ancestor, whose soul,
vanished in time, has even ceased to
hover over the family altar. At the bar
baric periods of our western history when
our mothers still preserved something of
the grand and wild rudeness of primi
tive times, there lived doubtless yonder,
in those isles at the east of the ancient
world, these same little peasant women,
so polite and so mincing, and also these
same little ladies of the cities, so civil
ized, with their adorable courtesies.
Pierre Loti in Harper's.
He Wished She Was a Centipede.
A party was given in St. Louis to
which was invited a noble but bashful
cowboy.
He was a good looking fellow, and one
of the young ladies present kindly took
an interest in him and tried to make him
feel at ease. He fell desperately in love
at once, and the hostess, noticing this,
encouraged him all she could. In leav
ing the house the young lady who had
taken a friendly interest in the cowboy
forgot her overshoes and the hostess told
the young Lochinvar from the plains
that he might return them to the girl if
he wished.
The herder leaped at the chance, and
presented himself in due time at the
young lady's house. She was surprised
to see him. but greeted him cordially.
"You forgot your overshoes last night,"
said he awkwardly, handing her the
package.
She thanked him and opened it. "Why,
there's only one overshoe here," she ex
claimed. "Yes, miss," said the blushing vaquero
earnestly, 'Til bring around the other
one to-morrow, and I only wish, miss,
that you were a centipede. " St. Louis
Republic.
Characteristic Autographs.
Count Enzenberg, the Hessian charge
d' affaires in France, had one hobby the
collecting of autographs of famous men.
On one of the pages of the Hessian's al
bum the statesman G-uizot had written:
"All through my long career I have
learned to forgive much and often, but
to forget nothing."
' The sentiment is not a Christian one,
nor is it notable for its worldly wisdom
It is strange that G-uizot, who was a pro
fessed Christian and reputed to be world
ly wise, should hare written it His
rival Thiers must have noticed the in
consistency, for underneath it he wrote:
"A little shortness of memory cannot
detract from the sincerity of forgive
ness. "
Bismarck, while Prussian ambassador
at Paris, being asked to write something
on the same page, wrote:
"As for myself, existence has. taught
me to forget many things, and to get
myself forgiven for a great many more."

No Tenomoui Beetles.
Of more than 40,000 specieb of beetles
widely diffused over the earth's surface
not one is known to be venomous, or pos
sessed of a sting. Butterflies and moths
have no months to eat with, only a pro
boscis to extract sweet juices from flow
ers. Neither do they grow after assum
ing the winged state. When in the cat
erpillar state they are voracious eaters.
