Importance of Free Reading Rooms.'
We see and bear a great deal about
young men and girls too, running off or
leaving their homes without their
parent's knowledge or approbation. The
unseen and untried city has a great fas
cination for young people from the
country. Trashy novels, sensational
stories in newspapers are prolific cause of
this evil, as well as of others.
Parents and teachers should wisely
select the reading matter that goes into
the hands of their children and pupils'.
There should be such an abundance of
attractive reading matter in every home
that the temptation - to read harmful
matter surreptitiously would be very
small indeed. This should be an easy
matter to do out of the great amount of
entertaining publications for youth. But
there are many homes where there is no
reading matter of any kind. Hence the
imiortance of free reading rooms.

"Working-women in the Iarge
Cities" was the subject of an instructive
and deeply interesting address given in
Washington recently by Mr. Carroll D.
Wright, Commissioner of " th e Labor
Bureau. He said that the' traditional
sewing girl, leading a sad, hard life in a
garret, has given place to another type,
which Howells lias portrayed in Lemuel
Parker. This modern working girl is
fond of pleasure, rather free, but indus
trious. There are now in this country
from a million to a million and a half of
women engaged in manufacturing and
other kindred pursuits. They congre
gate.in large cities, and, as a class, claim
our sympathies more, perhaps, than any
other class of workers. As to the con
dition of the working . women. Mr.
Wright says that the average weeklv
pay is only $o.l7. There are many
causes to . keep wages down. Working
women form a new industrial element,
and are earning money where they earn
ed nothing before. The relation of the
welfare of society of this new economic
element is confessedly one of the most
serious problems of the time.
The Farmers' Alliance Convention, in
Omaha, passed the following resolutions.
Resolved, That the laws regarding the
liquor traffic should be so amended as
to prevent endangering the morals of
our children and destroying the useful
ness of onr citizens.
Resolved, That we believe women have
the eame rights as their husbands to
hold property, and we are in sympathy
with any law that will give our wives,
sisters and daughters full representation
at the polls.
The great cause, of social crime is
drink. The great "cause of poverty is
drink. When I hear of a family broken
up and ask the cause drink. If I go to
the gallows and ask its victim the cause,
the answer drink. Then I ask myself
in perfect wonderment, why do not men
puta stop to this thing? Our legisla
tors will come together and pass every
measure necessary to the welfare of the
people, and yet pass laws sanctioning
the sale of liquor through saloons.

THE SAN JOSK SCALE.
A Circular Issued by the Official Inspec
tor of Fruit Pests.
The following circular has been, sent
to various persons in The Dalles which
is self-explanatory :
Complaint has been made to this
board that trees on property owned by
you on your place are infested with the
San Jose wale. The scale is verv dan
gerous to the life of not only fruit" trees,
but shade and ornamental trees and
shrubs as well, and if not promptly
checked will spread itself over the entire
country. This is to officially notify you
that something must be done, either bv
cutting down and burning up the the
trees thus infested, or by destroying the
pests. This can be done by the " prompt
and thorough use of the washes recom
mended by this board.
The following remedy is recommended
being cheap, simple, easily procured, and
effective :
"Take one pound of American or Bab
bit's concentrated lye and dissolve in
two and one-half gallons of water. - Add
one-half pound of rosin. Use hot."
This strength of wash, which should
be applied hot, by means of a spray
pump, ought not to be used after the
fruit buds have commenced to swell.
Trusting that this will receive your
prompt attention, I am
Respectfully yours,
Jamek A. Vauxev.

,A Impreniw Society Initiation.'
In one of the secret societies at" college
the victim is led info the hall blindfold
ed. The room is perfectly dark, so that
he could not see anything if the baml
agee were removed. , He is then taken
by two strong men. put into a regulation
graveyard coffin, with holes bored in the
lid 66 that he will not suffocate, and the
cover is screwed down tight. The build
ing has a shaft to the cellar, and the
coffin, with the victim in it, is slowly
lowered- It is a truly horrible experi
ence,' and several young men with shaky
nerves have fainted during the ceremo
ny. In the cellar, which is fitted tip
with all sorts of ghostly appliances, the
coffin is put on an altar of logs, such as
is supposed to have been built in olden
times for Isaac's benefit. The cover is
removed and the bandage loosened, ed
that it can be easily removed. There is
a horrible groaning and clanking of
chains, and suddenly the altar, which
has been saturated with harmless chem
icals, blazes up, and the bandage is re
moved from the neophyte's eyes.
As he raises himself up in the coffin
provided he has nerve enough left he
sees about the room two or three skele
tons, which have been rubbed with phos
phorus and glow vividly in the dark
ness. They are rigged with pulleys and
ropes, and slowly they raise their 'bony
fingers and point them at him, while a
supulchral voice bids him get out of the
coffin. With a show of courage, not at
all warranted by his feelings, he obeys.
A single taper is lighted, and he sees in
the dim ray several masked figures in
white Tobes standing about him. The
cold, clammy body of a dead snake is
then put in his hand, and he is made to
swear upon it that he will keep the se
crets of the order to his dying day, and
defend them with his life if necessary.

Honest.
A gentleman who passed the autumn
some fifty miles from Philadelphia pays
a tribute to the honesty of the Quaker
lady with whom he boarded. He passed
several weeks at her house, and when
the time came for him to leave he pack
ed up his belonings, paid his bill, and
said good-by, leaving the house by the
stage coach, which, in primitive fashion,
was to take him to the nearest railway
station.
The stage stopped for a few moments
at the village postoffice while the mail
was made up, and the gentleman sitting
on the box saw his landlady coming
down the street. The driver cams ont
and mounted to his nW hut rVio
Quakeress made signs to him to wait,
and in a moment she was at the side of
the coach. ;
. "I found this in my dressing table,"
she said, extending something wrapped
in a wisp of paper.
"What is it:-" the gentleman asked, it
being rather difficult to reach down to
where she stood.
She unrolled the wisp of paper with
the greatest gravity, and showed a dis
carded quill toothpick.

A Joke misunderstood.
The cynical humor and eccentric say
ings of Beau Bmmmel were not always
received by the auditors in the manner
which their originator anticipated or de
sired. At one time Brummel was a mem
ber of Watier's club, in London, which
was then the most noted gambling house
in the metropolis. Among his fellow
members was a man named Bligh, whose
eccentricity amounted at times to mild
insanity. One evening the Beau, having
lost a considerable stake, affected in his
farcical way a very tragic and suicidal
air, and cried out, "Waiter, bring me a
candlestick and. a loaded pistol!"
Upon which Bligh, who was sitting
opposite to him, calmly produced two
pistols from his pocket, .and placing
them upon the table said,. "Mr. Brum
mel, if you are really desirous to put a
period to your existence -1 am extremely
happy to offer you the means without
troubling the waiter." The effect upon
those present may be easily imagined,
for it was apparent to all that the good
na tared offer was sincerely meant. A
few judicious words from the Beau, now
all seriousness, induced the other to re
pocket the weapons, but the incident
somewhat dampened the spirits of the
card party, which quickly broke up and
separated. New York World.
Medical Prevarication. '
"You can't imagine what a prevari
cator I have become since I have been in
the hospital, said a pretty girl, a nurse
at one of: the local hospitals; "The doc
tors tell me 1 must deceive 'the patients
sometimes, and I have to obey their or
ders whether I want to or not. But my
conscience" doesn't hurt me especially.
I am asked many times ' a ' day by sick
people here questions that I must not an
swer truthfully. For instance, one will
inquire: 'How do I look? 'Is my face
much wasted?1 'Am I very feverish?
Am I very sick? Of course I have to
say all I can to encourage the patient,
telling him sometimes that he is doing
very well or looks much improved when
he is in fact very near death. I think
the recording angel will blot out with a
tear these marks against me." Ex

There are stories of strong men who
did not appear in public. A butcher
lived in South Holland who killed calves'
by strangling them. A Dutch count; in
a private entertainment, bent an iron
bar by beating it with his right hand
against his left arm, protected by a
leather bandage, bending it afterward
straight again by beating it the other
way. Chambers' Journal.
