Yesterday Ore gun ia it furnishes a ' list
of bills introduced foy Mr. Herman on
the 5th instant. Among these we not"ce
one calling for an . appropriation of
$1,500,060 for -1 lie work at the Cascade
.'Locks. This work Mr, Herman hopes
to have placcdin the system now applied !
to Galveston, Baltimore, Philadelphia,'
Hay Lake channel "and Soo Sain' Marie
' canal, which' provi'les authority to the
war department to contract for the en
tire work. Eastern Oregon and Wash
ington will owe Mr. Herman a deep debt
of gratitude" if he succeed in carrying
' this measure through. A etill more
important "measure, if possible, Mrj-j
Herman proposes to submit to the house j
; next week. He will introduce a bill, on :
such a plan a? he thinks most likely to j
pass his committee for overcoming the j
- obstructions of - the Columbia at the
dalles and it will . probably be the pro-
. ject finally reported by him at the list ;
session for temporary relief in a portage j
railroad pending an appropriation for a J
canal or a ship railway. we shall
ratch the success of this latter measure
with intense interest.

Ths Vain of Medicine.
A noted Paris physician tells the fol
lowing story against himself: ' 'At times,'
he said, "there comes to mcfet people a
doubting of .. all that has heretofore
seemed the truest. Doctors,, as well as
priests, are subject to' these periods of
depression , in which they question the
efficacy of their own judgment. In such
a mood, while I was superintendent, of
l'Hospital de , I divided the treat
ment of the wards. In one I exercised
the best . medical skill ' that the aid of
drags could afford; in the other I only.
gave as "medicine a little acrid water.
This experiment I continned for a month
with equally good nursing in both
wards." "
".Well, with what results?" said his
listener.
"The cases in both wards averaged
just the same," answered the doctor. .
."And what would you -infer from
that?" said his companion. '''-.
, "I hardly know," continued the physi
cian. "I was only thankful that the ex
periment did not actually score- against
the profession more than it did; but on
the principle of doing one's best, I have
gone back to my medicines if not with
absolute confidence, at least ..with the
consciousness that we can at least alle
viate suffering, and, all things . being
favorable, may effect a cure. New York
I Tribune.
, . Why Fakirs Thrive.
The man who buys shoestrings and
other small articles from street fakirs
doesn't always do so because "he gets
them, or thinks he gete. them, cheaper.
It is chiefly because men engaged in
business are usually so absentminded
that trifles of everyday use are never
thought of unless they are pushed right
under the business nose. As a rule the
stuff bought of street venders costs two"
to five times as much as it would in a.
legitimate store. Qut it is on this single
weakness of mankind that the street
fakir lives aud thrives. -A man will fool
with a broken shoestring ' a dozen morn-'
ings before he will remember to get- a t
new pair, men suaaeniy during a busy
day he runs against a shoestring peddler
and buys a pair on the spot, paying
double price for what his dealer would i
give him for nothing.
The fakirs thrive best
in the closest
! and most busy centers. - Down in Wall
j and Broad and New and Nassau streets,
among the bankers and brokers and law-
yers who are too bu$y to thmb of sus.
penders and shoestrings and lead pencils,
etc,
the street fakirs fare well, for amid
the" roar of
clashing millions the absent-
minded
man clutches hastily on what
1 comes uppermost, knowing that other
! wise he'll forget all about it. New
York Herald.
The Guests Were Under the Twble.. I

an hour later than any of the other
guests. He said to his guests, who were

The innakrat is somewhat similar in 1
appearance to his dry land cousin, but is
incomparably larger. The brown mask-,
rat, . which is larger than the black
mnskrat, when full grown will measure
twelve to fourteen inches from the tip
of his nose to the root of his tail, and his
ratliko caudal appendage sometimes at
tains a length of eight inches. - Moskrat
skins are valuable for their soft, glossy
Cur, and are bought by traders at from
six cents to ten cents each. ..and sold to
furriers. The flesh - of the mnskrat is
said, to be qui to palatable, and it is some
times eaten. Baltimore Sun.

IN HIS PASSENGER'S MUFF.
The Driver Snw the Gleans of the-Steel j
and It Fat Ilira an His Guard.
A party of well known oil men, who
have followed . the producing business
from its infancy-and have worked in its
different branches, from dipping" oil to
tunning several sets of tools as contrac
tors, were at the - Union depot waiting
for the train on "their way to the; Mc
Donald field, Sunday, when "the talk
drifted to old times and narrow escapes
they had seen and personal reminis
cences.. . One of " the party, who had
quietly listened to the talk, puffed nerv
ously at his toby and remarked: -
"Talk about scares,. boys, .did I ever
tell you of the scare I had in the seventies,
when I was running the tools in the
Millerstown field? You know the time
that young fellow who came up from"
Butler and started a pop factory in Mil
lerstown, and after making collections
in Butler of over $300 was .waylaid on
the road, shot through the heart and his
body found in the woods, where it had
been dragged by the "murderer, with the
pockets of the clothing rifled, and no clue
to the. thief. It was a short time - after
that in the winter. There had been a
heavy snow and the sleighing was splen
did, and I had a 4-year-old colt that cost
me $350 when it was a year old, and that
did not take dust from anything that
traveled the middle oil field. The man
I was drilling for was sick, and sent me
word to come to Butler and he would
pay me for work done on his four wells
that month. I drove over bright and
early and got a check for $1,100. I met
several friends, and, being in no special
hurry, I drove around town until nearly
time fer the bank to close. As I got the
cash I turned and Saw a man eyeing the
money so greedily that an involuntary
shiver of fear passed over me. I forgot
the. incident and monkeyed around in

night, when 1 startedfor home.

popmaker had been found. A3 I looked
at the side of the road I shivered with
apprehension in spite of the Dutch cour-
j age 1 had absorbed that evening, as 1
saw some one trudging along in the road
ahead of me. but I felt relieved when I
saw it was .1 woman. The woman stop- j
led and in a hoarsevoice explained that i
her daughter, who lived up the road,-had
been taken suddenly sick and she was
I on her way to visit her, and asked for a
lift. Glad to have company, I helped
her into the sleigh, and offered to take
her ' muff, but she kept it in her other
hand: Joltinir over a rough piece of
road she pulled' -one hand . out of tht
muff and my heart grew cold with fear.

was the longest I ever had before and
since until the jatiades of the bells
brought my wife to the door. I put the
horse np, and us I took out the. blankets
I pinked np the muff and carried it into
the house. Inside was a revolver of large
caliber, with all six of its -chambers fully
loaded. I staid awake all that night,
and in the morning paid off my men."

Visitors and the Chinese Kmperor.
Until tho present generation onr min
isters have never been received by the
emperor in person. The Chinese have
f o tight against ench receptions as sacri
legious. ' In 1873, however, the foreign
ministers forced the emperor to receive
them, and in 1891 the new emperor gave
his first reception- to .the. foreign'-. diplo
mats. He probably will have to do this
many times in the future. I have re
ceivad a letter from China describing
this reception and . saying - that -it had a
great influence on the Chinese at Peking.
It shows the people-that"-' thesse so called
"tribute bearers" are worthy of notice
and makes them respect our ministers, j
. The last emperor wanted the diplo-j
mats to go down on their knees and
bnmp their heads against the floor nine
times in front of the emperor, as the
Chinese do, but they refused " to do this,
and no attempt was - made' io demand
this on the present occasion. '; Thtf.Chi-.
nese idea is to make the foreign, minis
ters, as far , as possible, contemptible 111

months before the audience of 1,873 could

Telegraphic Codes.. ,
Ever since, submarine telegraphy be
came an established means of communi
cation much ingenuity has been ex
pended on the compilation . of codes,
partly' for secrecy, but principally, to
abbreviate the messages and save money
in rates. To such a fine point has codify
ing been brought in this latter direction
that the telegraph companies are at their
wits' end to maintain a proper equi
librium between the number of messages
sent and the number of words trans
mitted; in other words between the vol
ume of actual business and the amount
of ; revenue. . All large commercial
houses now use complicated codes, in
which a single word of ten letters rep
resents a sentence of ten, -fifteen or
twenty words. Electricity.
Hew Much a Horse Zats.
- A' horse consumes every year the prod
ace of six acres in oats .and . hay, and
may be said to consume one-sixth of
what he cultivates. If a horse is kept
hungry for any length of time, he wUl
afterward devour his food so voraciously
as to distend his stomach and endanger
an attack of staggers. London TiBita.
