A Splendid Tea. -
A test Was made this toornintf of the
new Jire hydrant at the cor'ner of Second
and Cbnrf streets. TwohOBe were attach
ed; each with a three-quarter ikch no
zle, tlien one UrJse with an :inch'no2tle.
In both cases magnificent streams of
water rose high. towards the blue ex
panse and fell in drenching torrents on
the neighboring buildings, or with hose
held laterally shot out' the -liquid fire
extingnTsh'e)- for" nearly a block's space
in length. It was "a splendid 'test and a
grand result of the efforts of our city
fathers to give The Dalles the best water
system on the Pacific coast. To a
Chroniclk i- representativej i however is
due the credit of preventing an accident
that, however much it might have been
regretted on personal grounds, would
unquestionably have been reeeived, had
it happened, as a fitting act of retiibu
tive justice. At the last test, when the
water was turned into the hose, Jack
Staniels held in'bis grasp the inch noz
zle. It was directed squarely at thej
little shack in which the 'Mountaineer
press has ground out so many lies about
the- water system. - As the water Shot
out with the force of a thousand cata
pults the voice of the reporter sang out
upon the ambient air : "Look out for the
Mountaineer office, Jack," aud Jack
quickly responded by turning the stream
to the starboard side of the shack as he
quietly remarked: "Didn't the blank
shanty come near ' being blown to
sheol?" If was a close eall for the little
growl factory on Court street.. 'After this

A Prosperous Firm.
Yesterday a Chronicle representa
tive visited the store of the new; firm . of
Byrhb.Tldyd arid'Cd.j 'successors to C.
E. Dunham and found it chock full of
new goods and 'every clerk busily em
ployed waiting on customers. From an
interview with Mr, Byrne, the head of
the firm, we learned that notwithstand
ing the proverbial dull times their busi
ness for the month of February was over
25 per cent, greater than for the previous
month. Two registered pharmacists are
kept busy almost nfght and day filling
prescriptions and in every line of their
business they were meeting with most
encouraging ."success. "Here is some
thing we are selling in large quantities'
said Mr. Byrne, as he handed the re
porter a bottle of liquid, labeled
"Byrne's Magic Clothes Cleaner." "We
warrant this prescription to be the best
in the world for removing grease from
silk or woolen goods, without injury to
the finest fabric or the most delicate
colors." "Here is something else, we
sell in large quantities" said the same
gentleman, as he handed the reporter
another bottle ' labeled "Best Tonic."
"This s a concentrated extract of malt
and hops. It is a specific for loss of ap
petite, indigestion, dyspepsia, sleepless
ness, for nursing mothers, and as a bev
erage. It is manufactured by the Pabst
Brewir coiupftny,' of Milwaukee, Wis.,

that the' article is all that it is claimed
to be. JWe make a specialty too" said
Mr. Byrne, "of toilet soaps, of which we
keep as fine a variety as one can find
anywhere. .. We have just received a
large invoice of trusses at prices- greatly
below former ones. ; We liave in fact
every tliWg' to be found in fiiy first class
drug store and we have a line of cigars
ranging in price from 5 cents to the best
made, that cannot be excelled for the
money anywhere." The attention of
the reporter was then called to a hand
some line of clocks, watches and jewelry
presided. 6ver"by the junior member ' of
the firm, Mr. Stacy Shown. This new
branch of the business bids fair to be
come popular and prosperous. The line
ofwatches, clocks, watch chains, rings,
charms, brooches, etc., showed evidence,
of fine taste in their selection and com
prised a little of everything usually

Was This Parrot m Bad Frieadf -
A friend of mine once had a gorgeous
African parrot, a bird so handsome and
sq aooompllshed that everybody, petted
him,' but so'snre"'a W held ' oat' a lump,
of sugar, a bit of fruit or candy with
"Here, Polly! Pretty Polly? want some
sweetiesr he would dart his head, aside
and savagely nip not the lump of sugar
bu.tt,heliagers that held 'it. It seemed
to rouse all his worst' temper to feel that
he was obliged to receive the gift from
one who had the power to withhold it.
I have often fancied that if reincarna
tion is "a possibility, 'that parrot '"had
been one of the jealous and venal "souls
some poor innocent had taken for a
friend, and from whom a- wound, had'
been received not in tho fingers, but in
the heart. Mrs. Frank Leslie.

Why Be Shaved Off His Whiskers.. -
. The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage has at
length cleared up. a painful Brooklyn
myBtery by telling a reporter why he
shaved off his whiskers.: .There was a
vague suspicion that Dr. Talmage had
acted from some religious conviction,
but such, he frankly explains, is not the
case. . - ; .
Dr. Talmage shaved off his whiskers
solely in the cause of art. He had an
idea that he would look better clean
Bhaveii, than, witb whiskers, and. that
was ther whole secret of the -mystery.
He also explained why he grew whiskers
originally. He was so -very thin when
young, he said, that he grew a beard in
order to help him cast a shadow. He
at that time considered it necessary to
cast a shadow.
Dr. Talmage is not so thin now. . He
can cast a shadow now without the aid
of whiskers. So, having accomplished
its sole purpose in life, the beard had to
go. . Dr. Talmage did not 6have to make
himself look younger. He thinks that
such artifices are in vain and that no
one is deceived. .
Dr. Talmage shaves himself every
morning .except Sundays. His Sunday
shaving he does on Saturday night He
has a number of good razors, and 'he
says that a good razor will sharpen itself
if let alone for a few days. New York

Difficult Census Taking.
It appears that the Dominion census
is not complete yet The figures from
the northern part of British Columbia
were sent to- Ottawa but the other day,
and the Peace and Mackenzie sections
will not be heard from till June next.
Thework of numeration in these far-t
off districts is "very laborious and entails
a lot of traveling. In taking the census
of the-Cassiar and Stickeen. river section's-
of British. "Columbia the enume
rator had to go to Alaska and travel in
land t the' Canadian border. ; '
He found the natives in a state of al
most primitive barbarism and entirely
unenlightened as to Christianity. - A few
Chinese, had 'settled upon claims, but
were making very little progress. In
numbers these people will not add very
much to the figures already given, and
they will add less to the sum of our ag
gregate wealth. Toronto MaiL
Death of an English Railway Kino;.
Mr. Richard Potter ' (formerly chair
man of the Great Western railway) was
at one time manager of the Grand Trunk
Railway of Canada, and he had atone
time 'Or another been connected . with
several English railways. Indeed, he
may be 'said to 'be "among the last of
the 'railway princes whose names re

railway. He amassed an enormous for
