A RELIC OF OTHER DAYS.
Mr. Mc Arthur, the city electrician, is
f possessed of an interesting relic of the
paet century in the form of a land lease
given by Arthur, Earl of Donegall to
John McArthnr and signed on the fifth
day of August, 17(38, more than 122
years ax. The document measures
about two feet and a half by fourteen
inches. The material is of parchment
and is accompanied by a surveyor's plat.
The seal is of red wax, but is broken and
cracked so that outlines of what may
have been the Earl's coat of arms are
not distinguishable. The signature,
"Donegall," is in a bol'd, well-written
hand, and is witnessed by . David Mc
Cool and Geo. Cortis. On the back it is
described as the "Lease of two Ballyhoee
of the Quarter Lands Carrowreagh."
What ballyboes may mean the writer
knows not, but the Celtic bally or bal
means a town.
- The lands involved are said to contain
by "admeasurement 323 acres and two
roods plantation measure and the annual
Tent is 39 pounds sterling with ten shil
lings additional as "duties." The lands
' lie in the "parish of Templemore in the
barony of . Inishowen and county. ., of
Donegal... The indenture say 9 that it
"Hath demised, leased, set and to farm
let ten, and by these 'presents doth de
mise, lease, set and to farm let,"' etc.
The earl reserves, among numerous other
things. 'Fishings, Fowlings, Free War
ren and Chase" with liberty to "fish,
fowl, hunt and hawk upon the same."
The lease binds the lessee or his heirs .to
pay for and. in lieu of "Herriot" the sum
of twenty shillings on the death of. John
McArthnr and "every Chief-Tenant dy
ing in possession of. the said demised
premises.'.', It also binds the lessee to
pay an annual rent of forty shillings
sterling for "every acre that shall be
plowed or sowh with corn or grain of any
kind, 'within one year within the three
last years before the expiration' of said
term, over and above one-three of the
arable pasture of the premises." It also
binds the lessee f to render suit and ser
vice at the Courts-Leet and Courts
Baron, and to pay for every Head-Tenant
of the Premises, Four-pence and for
every Under-Tenant Two-pence sterling
in the Name of Head-Money'or. Leet-Sil-ver,
at fevery Court-Leet to , be held
within the same." , The lease further
binds the renter to "grind all such Malt,
Corn or other Grain as shall be expended
on the premises (except such part thereof
aa shall be sown) of that he shall grind
for sale at such mill or mills not exceed
ing two miles distant from , its Place of
Growth, as the said Earl, shall at any
Time or Times, during the said Term . by
and Writings under his Hands, appoint."
And the renter further binds himself and
his under-tenants each to build twenty
perches annually of new fence "of a good
single Earth Ditch, in' straight lyies,
with a Grip or Trench on one Side, six
feet wide at the Top, two feet wide at
the Bottom and five feet deep below the
Surface," or in lieu of such to build ."a
good Stone wall or Ditch . in straight
lines four feet high in the Stone-Work,
two feet thick at the Bottom and csne
foot thick at the top, capped with Sods,
half a foot high above the Stones."
Trees were to be planted, so many feet
apart along the sod fences and in default
a fine of two-pence for every tree not so
planted was imposed. AH of which goes
to show that these old earls knew toler
ably well how to take care of themselves
and that human greed is at least as old
as the eighteenth century.

Knterprises That Would Benefit all of
Kastera Oregon.
The Wool clip of Eastern Oregon this
year will be about 9,000,000 pounds. In
all of this vast wool-growing region that
produces suchi a vast amount of this sta
ple article there is- not a Woolen mill or a
scouring establishment. Nearly all una
wool is shipped 'across the continent to
be manufactured into cloth and reship
ped to the Pacific coast to be bought and
worn by those who produced it. The
majority of this wool shrinks on an aver
age 50 per cent by washing, so this year
the wool growers of Eastern Oregen will
pay freight across the continent on
4,500,000 pounds of dirt that should be re
moved from' the wool before It ia shipped.
The freight on the dirt alone wou:d almost
pay for a scouring establishment with a
capacity sufficient to scour all the wool
raised in the Inland Empire. But better
than establishments for scouring and
grading the wool -would be the : building
of mills to manufacture it into cloth, or
at least enough of it to supply the woolen
goods that are consumed on this coast.
The saving of freight on the wool to the
factories in the east and on the manufac
tured goods from the factories back to
the producer and consumer would be : no
small item ; but it is insignificant when
compared with the amount of money
that would be put in circulation by man
ufacturing the wool into cloth right here
at home. As an illustration of the bene
fit a woolen mill is to a community and
the amount of money it puts in circula
tion, we may profitably consider toe fol
lowing report published by the secretary
of the Albany Woolen Mills Company
last week, at the close of the first year the
mills have been in operation : Wages
paid, $26,11)7 84; wool purchased, $ 49,
413.42; other expenditures, $18,118.73;
total expenditures, $93,639.99. Suppose
every wool producing county in eastern
uregon Had in it an additional industry
that consumed $50,000 worth of its pro
ducts and expended $25,000 annually for
wages, what would be the result?
Would it not make times better and
money more plentiful? Suppose we had
such an establishment in our own county,
what effect would it have on the business
of the county? in the first place it would
afford a home market for a portion of one
of the leading products of the county ; it
would furnish employment, at good wag
es, for from thirty to forty laborers, who
must be fed, and this would create an ex
tra market for farm produce ; freight
would be saved on whatever amount of
wool the mills consume ; the money ex
pended for woolen goods would not go
abroad, but would be spent at home;
the wages earned by the employes would
nearly all be spent here. Taken alto
gether the actual benefit to the county
from the establishment of such an enter
prise would be nearly double the amount
the mills . would expend for material,
labor, etc. ,
Cheap Funerals In New, York.
: A Hester street undertaker says: "Fu
nerals don't, come very -high . in. this
neighborhood, bat such as they are the
poor people seem to have .trouble paying
the bills. J furnish what is considered a
respectable funeral for $5.50, but that
does not include , any carriages. . The
coffin and the hearse attendance is all
that I can .give, for.' the- money. The
people in this neighborhood are mostly
Polish Jews and Greeks who are nearly
all very . poor. , and $5.50 , represents: a
small fortune. ; Only. a. few of them, in
my experience, have ever expressed any
objection- to having their dead buried in
Potter's field, bat they all are sensitive
and superstitions about .the funeral, and
will sacrifice almost anything to obtain
a coffin and hearse.
- "They seem . to have no. idea of the
value of our money. .' A woman,: whose
husband died the other day, came to me
with a brass ring, which she thought 1
would take in exchange for a coffin. . She
was very much surprised when I refused
her, and offered to work for me for a
year if I would only give her husband a
decent funeral. He was finally buried
at the expense of the city. "New York

with a drawer which he filled with dia

Barnum'a "Briek Man.
As an illustration of one Mjfy Bonram's
ingenious methods of attracting attention ,
to his museum may be mentioned the in
cident of the "brick man.r-One day a
man applied for. alma to BHrnum, who,
was sitting in the ticket office. - To the
inquiry as to why hie did not gd to-work;
the mendicant replied. ..that ho -would
gladly do so at a dollar a day if - he could
find employment. . ISaruuui gave. him.
twenty-five cents to get Ins" breakfast,
and told him to return, and he would
give him a -dollar and a half a day and
easy work. When -the man returned,
Barn.um . gave him five bricks, and told
him to place one in front of the museum,
another on the corner of - Vesey street, a
third at the corner of. Fulton on the St.
Paul's church' side and - the fourth on
the east corner of Fulton. Returning
then to the museum, he was to take up
the .first- brick . and replace it with the
fifth, and then continue his rounds, put
ting down one brick and taking up the
other each time. '
He was enjoined, to answer no ques
tions and to seem not to hear, and that
at the end of each three-quarters of an
hour he was to pass into the museum,
look around at the curiosities for fifteen
minutes and then . resume his rounds
with the bricks. Barnuin says that the
man played his part to perfection, and
his eccentric conduct caused a great
crowd to gather about the museum.
Many of thete,' of course, went into the
museum to seek some explanation as to
the purpose of the "brick man." This
was kept up for several days, until the
police requested his withdrawal, because
such crowds lingered about the museum
that traffic was interrupted. J. G. Speed

Importance of Breathing Properly.
In all the various systems of physical
culture now in vogue the greatest im
portance is attached to taking the breath
properly. The breathing should be slow
and deep, six breaths a minute being a
safe average. . There is still a difference
of opinion in regard to the relative value
of abdominal and chest breathing, and
each system has its advantages. One of
the best exercises for increasing the ca
pacity of the lungs is to draw a full
breath very" slowly and through - the
nose. . Keep the lungs inflated as long as
possible, and then expel the air suddenly
through - the mouth, and repeat .the pro-
. Care -should be taken not to try to
make the period of holding the breath
too long at the start; the more gradually
the power of doing this is attained the
better will- be the permanent results.
There are many breathing: exercises, and
one of the best is the taking of a deep
breath and swinging the arms, first one,
then the .other, , and finally .both, while
the breath is. inhaled. Excessive prac
tice of any system should be avoided,
and the golden rule' - of ' taking moderate
and - judicious exercise: should be-observed.
