There are times in my life when I long to be a man that 1 may sail in and do better with my fists! It is such a thwart ing;, unsatisfactory thing to be a well behaved: and decoroms: woman wnen you long to be a son of thunder and take the traill I was standing for anelter in tne doorway of a Chicago depot. It was raining in that easy, delightful way that reminds one of impulsive people wnen they talk. There was no holding back, no reserve, no attempt to oe noncom mittal and conservative. It rained a pint to every square inch, and an um brella was of lees use than a fork-is in eating gravy. Well, as. I stood in the shelter of the doorway a very queer specimen of re motely rural life stepped into view. .. He had just got out of some train and was at a loss, what to do in tne big city, His clothes were blue' and new and ill fitting. His face was tanned and his smile was both deprecating and . timid. He carried a little bundle, and his trouser legs were rolled up over a pair- of laced shoes. No sooner had he appeared upon the scene than a bevy of' depot hangers on bore down upon him. Some of them were cabbies, and more of them were loafers. ' They surrounded him as big bluebottle flies get around a honey pot. They bent the head and talked low; they winked furtively and laughed at each other be hind the poor boy's back. Me took slip of paper from his pocket and showed it to them, and two of them, with a great show of friendliness, walked him away between them. I wanted to follow them no. but. as usual, didn't dare to! A Woman in Chicago Herald. The Salem Journal says: The aew county printing law is a good one in its effects. It is spreading before the peo ple the smallest details of county busi ness and expenditure. The people ia every county !n the state are being fa miliarized with the acts of the officials. They are being educated as to the dis tribution of public taxes in a most ef fective manner. The loose and careless methods of county expenditures will be remedied somewhat thereby. The Chronicle is authorized to state that the Regulator will certainly start running by Monday the 15th prox. or sooner if things can be got in readiness. The state portage officials have asked for two weeks to complete the lower landing. Both boats are undergoiag alterations and repairs which will re quire till near the 15th to complete. Everything will be put in complete equipment so that no ordinary stoppage will be necessary till next winter. The county court has followed the suggestion of the Chbonicl and made the county levy two miles higher for the purpose of devoting the additional sum to be realized to the making and im proving of our county roads. This will give nearly $6,000 for the purpose, and $6,0(10 judiciously spent will do au im mense amount of good. Hood River will now get something that precinct has kyig needed and long deserved. That blot on civilization Tygh Hill road can now be chanced and the settlers on Tygh, Wamic and Wapinitia obtain a means of getting to market with their produce. The thing is done. The county court will now assuredly help build the road. Let the settleis get a move on themselves and show that they deserve help. The editor of the Chronicle met a respected citizen of The Dalles on the street this morning who informed him that it was rumored over town that D. M. French had said to the directors of the D., P. & A. Nav. Co., that the cflm pany owed him $15,000 and that the Regulator would never turn a wheel until it was paid. It is not often that -any one with good sense is justified in paying any attention to such reports but as we were assured, many friends of the new boat believed the tale we felt it to be right to interview Mr. French on the subject. His answer was significant: "There is not a word of truth in it. I have not a dollar in the boat beyond my fifty shares of stock. It is easy how ever to know where a story of that kind originated." Why He Never Licks Stamps. One day after coming from the post- office I put a dozen stamps in my desk and closed the lid. Then I went away and returned again an hour or so after ward. Upon opening my desk l saw upon these stamps at least a dozen big, nasty looking roaches, or "water bugs," as they are sometimes called. They seemed to be so intent upon some occu nation that they did not run away with the almost lightninglike rapidity with which they usually disappeared when ever the desk was opened. At first 1 thought that they were stuck to the stamps, but upon observing a lit tle closer 1 saw that they moved about, and 1 was finally convinced that they were eating the gum from the backs of the stamps. By placing a large reading glass so as to magnify the roaches, I ob served that they secreted a saliva on the gum and then when it became soft ..they, seemed to suck it off. Little bare spots appeared on the stamps," and these spots gradually grew larger until the stamps had the appearance of stamps from which 1 had imagined the gum had evaporated. . Since that time you may be sure I never touch my tongue to a postage stamp, and it almost nauseates me to see any one else do it. Interview in New York Tribune. A Business Woman's Lesson. A business woman often takes 'letters and packages to the general postoffi.ee to be weighed.. As often" as ' she- has done' that she has been impressed anew with the weak and trivial curiosity of the male mind, for every time she handed in something to be weighed the busy men in charsre stopped to turn it over and read the address. "It certainly beats anything," she said to herself, "to think of anything being as curious as that." A few days ago she repeated this ex perience up to a certain . point. The variation began when the examining magnate said cheerfully:- "Be a good idea, wouldn't it, for you to put on here the state these here papers is goin' to? Yes, , certainly, I'll write it for you. Ouohs I've saved 500 bundles from being lost in the last three weeks, lookin to see if tHey was directed all right. I don't bother about the men; don't care so much about their bundles, and . then they've got more . head for looking to such things; but 1 always look at the ladies' bundles. . - Ten cents." And the crushed business woman walked away with all the sad dignity she could mas ter. New York Sun. The Observant Woman. ;', v-. "A person who makes it a point to . study other people .can form unerring conclusions," remarked , the observant, woman to her companion as they sat in the street car. ' '.': ' : ' . "Indeed?" replied.tbe,. latter; with in terest. .-:...:-' v 'Yea, indeed! N6w notice the girl across the aisle. Ordinary people would see nothing specsjd about her, but I can tell that she is a convent bred girl." "How can you tell that?:. "By the way she holds her feet on the floor,' You notice her left foot is set squarely dawn. The right one is at an angle to . the , left,- ana . witn , tne - neei placed midway between the left heel wad toe. Convent gins are- always trained to sit with their feet that way. Now, I'd be willing to wager my week's allow ance that if you spoke to her she would open her eyes and say. 'If yon pleat with a nauur inflection, meaning. ' in plain English, fWhat is it? " "111 speak to Her," replied tne wom an s companion, "and see u you are right." . - Then she turned to the convent bred girl and asked: . - . "I beg your pardon, but if you are ac quainted with this portion of tne city, will von. tell me how far it is yet to Franklin street?' The shy creature lifted her eyes to her questioner, and in a low, sweet tone, re plied: "What yer soy?' Then the observant woman said that the next corner was where she wished to get off. New York Sun. One Way of Banking;. "You ought to come up into our part of th.e state," said a tall countryman over the bank counter the other day to the cashier of a Oriswold street bank. "Where's that?" inquired the cashier, "Up in the Upper Peninsula. "What have you got there .that's in teresting?' "Got people that'll make more money in ten minutes doing banking their way than : vou'll make . your way in ten years." "How do they do it?' , . "Discountin." "We make something in that line ourr selves." . "Yes, I s'poae so; but not like them. By criminy," he went on emphatically, "I had a note for $150 the other day I wanted discounted, and I took it to one of them shavers, and after he had fig gered about ten minutes he said I owed him $1.87." "How did he make that out?' inquired the puzzled cashier. v "That's what I .said to him, and he told me that according to his way of calculating Xhe discount on a note like that, the whole thing would amount to $151.37, and he was willing to take the note if I'd pay the balance in cash. You ain't got any bankin litce that in Detroit, have you?' and the cashier hastened to assure him that Detroit bankers didn't do business in that . way. Detroit Free Press. ' A S8EMBLY NO. 4827,. K.

A Dome for the Capitol. - Salem, Or., Jan. 25. The state build ing board held a meeting today and acr i cepted the plans of the architect who built the etate-house, for a dome for the capitol. The dome will be 100 feet from the ridge of the roof to the top. A wind ing stair from the upper floor will reach the observatory cupola on the top.- Bids for building the dome -will be adyertiaedJ at once. The dome will be of steel, glass and copper, and will cost about $60,000. A Bis; Connections Bowlder. The approximate maximum dimensions of the. ' Sheegar" bowlder in Montville, : Conn., are: Length, 75 feet;. width, 58 feet; height, 60 feet; contents, 70,000 cubic feet; weight, 6,000 tons. If allow ance be made1 for an immense fragment ' which has fallen from its northeast side, the dimensions and 'cubic contents of "Sheegan". would 'approximate closely, to 90,000 cubic feet. One point that goes far-toward substantiating the' claim on behalf of the ''Sheegan" rock is that it is a 'true bowlder, is the number of un doubted ' bowlders of an immense -size and of the same granite which- exist in comparative proximity .David A.Wells in Popular Science Monthly. . " - The Two Hands. " It is remarkable that with the major ity Of . people the neglected left hand is not in mere strength . inferior to the right. We have heard truly right hand ed people actually declare that their left hand - js the stronger, and from the writer's own experience he knows this to be the case. This may be from the mechanical advantage and better bal ance of the body, the right side being heavier, or it may be due to the large muscles ' of the unused arm being less hampered by the development of other muscles. It is difficult in these cases to say which is the "right'" hand, for the fact that the unused arm is the stronger does not imply ambidexterity, nor can we justly give the precedence to strength over dexterity. Moreover, we cannot call the hand that excels in one "series of dexterous motions the superior hand if it can be shown that the other is chosen' fo perform an "act. which, apparently tri fling, may require some knack or nicety of touch. It is the hand put forth in emergency, when taken by surprie, that makes a spontaneous gesture, the hand that acts first, which is the "right" hand.
