OREGON ON WHEELS.
Our readers are familiar with the fact
that the State Board of Immigration are
fitting jip a special railroad car to be
filled with Oregon products which it is
their intention to send to the Eastern
and interior states for the purpose of ad
vertising the' resources of this great
-state. The work of fitting up and paint
ing the car is now complete and its in
terior is now being filled with exhibits.
The best of those shown at the exposi
tion which has just closed will be sel
ected and as many others as can find ac
commodation. The writer visited the
-car yesterday at Albina. It is of ordi
nary length and is fitted upon each side
with shelving that rises like steps from
the floor to the-ceiling. A three foot
lley railed on each side, runs through
the full length of the car. The car is
furnished with a complete electric light
plant of its own which will furnish 28
lights inside and 12 outside. The ex
hibits will consist of grain threshed and
unthreshed, grasses, fruits, vegetables
and berries dried, canned, and green.
. wool, coal and minerals of all kinds and
samples of Oregon woods. 50,000 sam
ples of Oregon wheat done up in small
bottles will be given away. Half a mil
lion of 4 by 0 inch dodgers will be- dis
tributed and Major Ed. A. Weed, an old
uewspnper man, and a 17 years resident
in the state, who will have charge of the
. car, will deliver lectures at every con
venient place, from" the platform of the
car. Two other men will accompany
the Major, and they expect to be gone
about six months and perhaps longer.
The originaors of the scheme, the Major
assured us, have no private ax to grind.
It is in no sence got up by real estate
boomers to boom a certain district. It
is for the whole state and for every part
of it. The mineral exhibit will be the
finest purely Oregon exhibit ever gath
ered together, in fact the only one
worthy of the name, and for this result
the credit is largely due to Major G. W.
.rfogalls It has been gathered from
ejiU or ten counties of the state. The
..AutsjRe of tke car presents a very at-
tractive .qpipearance. On each side is
painted in .letters about a foot
ilong ;the word -"Oregon," and
i!n.miiller iletters the words; "No cy-
't!Iones, ;ho "blizzards. The finest climate
on the continent. The land of big red
apples, glorious golden prunes and lux
ttrsiant terries, Exported 4,170,2(0
' bushels of -wheat last year. Season of
- i 188 exjwTted 18,600,221 pounds of mer--i'inownd
other wool. The lumber re
sosirces the greatest in the world. Sea
son of 1890 exported 8,508,672 cans of
salmon, etc." On one side is a picture
T the mouth of the Columbia and on
. the other of the falls of the Willamette,
while underneath the latter are the
words ; "335,000 horse power ; mill eiles
free." Over each door is the word "wel
come.". The car will be taken across to
Portland sometime this week and remain
there for a few days ' when it will start
East by way of the Northern Pacific.
This route is adopted naturally because
itbe'Northern Pacific has furnished the
car and transportation free.
THE MISSING LINK MADE TO
- ORDER.
Since the days when Mr. Darwin says
hnmans shed their tails and cnvolved
from the monkey state to the civilized
condition there has been little or no de
mand for the discarded caudal appen
tlage, sajs the. Philadelphia Record.
But recently there has been a bullish
movement in the tail market and such a
heavy demand created that Dr. Ege, of
Reading has undertaken to supply the
aytieiilHge that Mr. Darwin says we
have so unjustly been deprived of. He
will produce a man with a tail, and if
the foresaid man can produce the re
quired money lie can revel in the dis
tinction and glory of two tails at a rate
of $50 per tail.
The idea was suggested to Dr. Ege by
tire man who is about to undergo the
operation. The latter, whose name is
withheld for obvious reasons, is a per
son of unbounded ambition, whose goal
is to sit in a'dime imieseutn and wag
Xiis tail to the ninnic of the guffaws of on
satssembled multitude. For the price of
1(50 Dr. Eage will undertake to splice to
the fellow's right arm a long tail of
a. Gordon tetter, and if the opera
tion is successful, and the man can raise
the required $50 extra, Dr. Ege will
sandwich a nice tabby-cat tail on the
man's other arm. Dr. Ege is very en
thusiastic about the affair, and has not
the least doubt that the operation can
readily be performed with success. By
the way of experiment be has already
put a long white cat tail on a little rab
bit that was heretofore tailless. ''

It is a greal year for babies in the fami

cratic candidate for governor in New
"York, Ros well P. Flower. " To be sure,
Mr. Flower was a little too old to be ex
pected to become a papa, but the next
best thing happened the other day. He
became a grandpa for the first time, and
was made happv by this dispatch :
Dear Grandpa : I am here. Arrived
eleven minutes past 12 o'clock. I weigh
ten and a half pounds. Mamma anal
are both doing well, and I hope you will

I'be lea Houses ot iiapan.
Mousmees, rickshaws and tea houses
are the three institutions one associates
with Japan. Kipling has made the rick
shaws hardly more of a phantom than
the three-horse car, while Sir Edwin Ar
nold and Pierre Loti have pictured the
gentle mousmee with such exquisite
finish that people ignorant of the mean
ing of the word a few months back are
in love with her quaint beauty and rav
ishing smiles.
Tea houses are simply inns or restau
rants where the principal refreshment
(often the only one) is tea. In the cities
they are the favorite evening resorts, for
there you can hire the gaudy Geisha
girls to dance and sing or play the samo
sinand koto between the intervals of
love making. She is a mistress of this
art. Kara, one of the most beautiful
places in Japan, has no other accommoda
tion, and notice must be sent the day be
fore to tell the owner how many guests
he is to accommodate.
Rickshaws laden with supplies start a
few hours ahead, the coolies who draw
them acting as cooks and house servants
during your stay. . Stowed in these use
ful vehicles is all you require food and
the utensils for cooking and eating it
The teahouse supplies nothing but chop
sticks, fresh eggs and rice. The little
teahouse at Nara was like a white parch
ment box with wooden corners, and
stood in the shade of a crystoinona
grove. In the heat of the day the parch
ment walls . disappear mysteriously into
the wooden corners; then the entire
house looks like a platform, with high
wooden corner posts, raised a few feet
frsm the ground, covered with dazzling
white matting. Once a Week.

Among the inventions that commend
themselves to public notice during the
last fifty years are those relating to cof
fins, graves and burials. One of these is
intended to furnish the tenant of a grave
who has been buried prematurely with a
means of escape or arousing the neigh
borhood. This invention is a simple af
fair, being merely an open tube provided
with a rope ladder and a bell and cord.
Should the occupant of. the coffin awake
from the trance he could climb the lad
der and make his way back to the world,
or pull the bell and alarm the' township.
For those whose only fear is that they
may not be allowed to rest undisturbed
a considerate inventor has provided a
"torpedo grave," which, if disturbed, ex- J
plodes at once and scatters the vandals
to the winds. Chicago Times.

. . A Modern Solomon.
A famous Chicago lawyer once had a
singular case to settle. ' A physician came
to him in great distress. Two' sisters,
living in the same house, had babies of
equal age, who so resembled each other
that their own - mothers were unable to
distinguish them when they were to
gether. Now it happened that by the
carelessness of the nurses the children
had become ' mixed, and how were the
mothers to make sure that they received
back their own infants? "But, perhaps,"
said the lawyer, "the children weren't
changed at all." "Oh, but there's no
doubt they were changed," said the phy
sician. - "Are you 6ure of it?" "Per
fectly." "Well, if that's the case why
don't you change them back again? 1
don't- see any difficulty in the case."

Why Women Should Help Govern . '
The eternal and ineradicable distinc
tion, of sex is one principal reason why
women, in a representative government
should be directly represented. ' If law
yers alone cannot safely be trusted to
make laws for mechanics, if merchants
alone cannot legislate for farmers, if
every well defined class in society is en
titled to its own authoritative expression
through the ballot, surely women, who
are the wives and sisters and mothers of
men, should give expression to the do
mestic interests from the feminine point
of view. If a blacksmith cannot fairly
represent a physician, how much less can
a man represent a woman! Henry B.
