Editob ' CiiHONicLK As the Fourth and things connected therewith have be come a subject of 'general discussion al low me to suggest that possibly we (that is the "heft on us") are slightly related to the mule", though will not admit are assinine and are always looking for an opening' to kick and' we generally" get in no matter whether it.be a "brother mule' '. or an outsider,' and generally it is ourselves that are moat hurt. Now we have kicked at the' Coionei, kicked at the committee and everything .else in. sight and you often hear the expression,' "The Dalles has received a black eye that it will be hard to get over."' Well, who has. given it? People that came here on that ill-fated day or our jealous and uncharitable way of treating things done? The failure of the sham battle to materialize seems the most agreeable thing to kick at and, while I subscribed several dollars, and gave some time and would like the best in the world to have had it take place," yet, under the circum stances, considering what the men had gone through'marching tip through the sand and wind and pulled about town in a whirlwind of dirt for hours and then insist that in such a blizzard, that that part be carried out, does' not seem to, me the part of humanity and will Bay I am not a member of the' militia or brass band, nor do I take much stock in mili tary affairs nor am 1 an apologist for officers. Neither am I on the inside or know who is to blame, but do believe we are allowing jealousy, prejudice and a propensity to talk just a little louder than the next man to have too much swing.

The handso'..e parlors'of Mr. and Mrs: : S. Li'. Brooks was last' evening the scene of a pleasant reception to Senator and Mrs. J. N. Dolph" and" their daughter, Miss Ruth. The evening was an. agree able one to all who were present. Sena tor Dolph was in excellent health and spirits and was glad to meet his consti tuents in a social way. He does not show the effects of the .hard work t hat he has done for Oregon at "the last ses sion of congress, for his eyes are are as bright and his form as erect as it was thirty yearg agd wien he did not dream of the senatorial honors of a great state. Mrs. Dolph was the picture of health and viracity, and by her agreeable manners and kind treatment of the guests every one was put at ease. She was charm ingly attired in light heliotrope silk, cut en train, and trimmed with pearl, with diamond ornaments. Miss Ruth wore white India . silk with blue sash and looked very handsome. The bright little miss presided at the tea table during the evening and in a charming manner served iced tea and cakes to all who bowed at her shrine. The reception was an entirely informal one and no attempt at a programme of entertainment was made, the evening being passed in social conversation.. Among those present were Judge Ben nett and wife, Mrs. Smith French, Dr. Shackelford and wife, Col. T. S. Lang and wife, Dr. Doane . and wife, Col. E. W. Nevius, Mr. W.. D. Palmer, Mr. J. M.

Ar3niouM Acid. j The medjcal dose of arseniona acid is about, one-twentieth of a grain given in ; pill form "after , meaJu. ; This dose is. in creased under the directions of physi cians, but it is a thing with which the laity Bhould not tamper.... The lethal or deadly dose is generally' placed at about one and one-half grains for an adult. It haa been placed at about one and one half to two and one-third grains. The effects of arsenical solutions, such as Fowler's, are more rapid and severe than those of the eolid drug. Fowler's solution is a preparation much used. Women take it because it gives a plump appearance and beautifies the complexion. It is given in medicine as an alternative and. is much used in skin diseases. Fowler's solution con tains four grains of ursenious acid to the ounce. " It is nearly . colorless, with a faint taste of the compound spirit of lavender which ia in'' it. The average dose in beginning is five-drops in a wine glassful of water after meals. The ounce of solution contains; about 'eight' tea-" spoonfuls, and according to this the tea spoonful contains about" half a grain of arsenious acid. Kansas City Star. Silk Ruining In France. During the first half of the present century silk raising in France was quite prosperous. In 1808 the production was 500,000 kilogs. It then increased steadily until 1849, when ' it' was. about 2,000,000 kilogs. In 1854 mulberry trees began to be attacked- by a ravaging disease, which destroyed many ' plantations, and wan merely the first of many reverses which have harassed and discouraged French silk growers. Since then the production has been subject ; to great -fluctuations, in 1876 the low water mark for the cent ury was reached, with an output of but 155,000 kilogs. During the last ten years the annual production has been from 600,000 to 800,000 kilogs. Cor. . Dry Goods Economist. ' When Moses Day Walkeo.' Moses Day, of Boston, began life as a poor boy.
