These are worse than war times. . A Kentucky investor is monkeying with an invention that isn't wanted a fishing rod that will automatically reg ister the weight of a catch. The Middle states have had one of the worst storms experienced for many years. Blizzards and cyclones, with loss of life is reported. In the Northwest -such visitations are unknown. The weather is spring-like, wild flowers are in bloom, and the farmers, in some in stances, are plowing. Recent British politics has brought into use the word "disestablishment arianism" twenty-four letters ; proba bly the longest manageable word in the language. "Straightforwardness, "nine teen letters, is the longest in reasonably common use. It doesn't sound long, having but four syllables. The Chbonicle congratulates Hon. W. EL. Biggs on securing so nice a plum as the receivership of The Dalles land office. The compliment is deserved, for Mr. Biggd is a competent, trustworthy and substantial citizen of Eastern Ore gon. His host of friends will join The Chronicle in general congratulations. How many wealthy men would if sick evoke the heartfelt sympathies of tens of (thousands of their fellow citizens as George W. Childs is doing. Mr. Childs is a model for other rich men to imitate. Surely the incense rising from thousands of grateful hearts is something ta ac company a parting soul on its journey . into the great unknown. Ex. Beltzhoover of Pennsylvania, is going to vote against the tariff bill. He says the reason is very simple, indeed. His district went democratic by only . 00 majority at the last election. He has re ceived letters from exactly 325 democrats, who Bay they will vote against him un less he votes against the Wilson bill. It is a question with him of twenty-five votes. There are some very able liars in Florida, as the visiting pugilists and sports found recently. One of them tells about having been blowed up in a steam boat picnic in 1831 and losing an arm and s-foot and having a section of boiler iron driven through his body. Just as the coroner was about to knock him in the head to save trouble, an old country doctor asked for bim and loaded him in to his buggy with a spare arm and leg picked up from the wreck. - The doctor drove him home, ten miles, Be wed on the arm and leg and fitted him out with a pig's lights and liver. And to this day he squeals when he sees swill. " - Tomorrow will be St. Valentine's day, V and thousands of pretty missives will be . distributed to gladden the hearts of the y loving by the beloved. Some, perchance, may fall on stony ground and fail to awaken a responsive echo in the heart of the one for whom it was designed. The sentiment with v floriated border, ranging in intensity from 25 cents to $1 or $2, may not seem to partake of the nature of tne donor to such a one, but in : all cases where the course of "true love run 8 smooth," the thought will never occur that the valentine is bought ready made, and the donor will be credited . ' : with remarkable poetic genius, as well as mechanical , ability. The unloved swain or embittered youth will strike a poniard to all his enemies, male and female, at small cost, by, purchasing "valentines of the penny variety. ' These ' exaggerated horrors in red, blue and yellow do not properly belong to St. Valentine, but they do not seem' to de crease in popularity and millions of - them are purchased yearly.

The Dalles, Or., Feb. 12, 1894, Editor Chronicle: . , :Tn last Saturday's Times Mountaineer Keno of Dufur labors hard in a. sensa tional article under the heading "Caught at Last," to impress upon the minds of his readers that Mr. C. P. Balch of that city" will not be a candidate for sheriff this year. T It really seems too bad tnat the mountain should have labored ea hard and brought forth so little. Keno should know what everybody else in the county knows, viz : that Mr. Balch will not be a candidate for anything this year : and not waste his precious talents so recklessly. Of course Mr.- Balch will not be a candidate. ; Why should he, or what reason to 'suppose that anybody wants him to be? What object Eeno can have in rushing out so frantically at thiB time-' to proclaim that Mr. Balch is not in the hands of his friends this year," is hard to guess.' But perhaps it is to warn certain aspiring candidates that someone is lurking in ambush with a knife in his sleeve : and if Keno has any information on this point I doubt- not that quite a number of persons would be pleased. to hear from him again. A. S. Pibant. A. Young Prodigy. ,L That's what Frank Parrish is. Frank will be 21 years of age next May. The first twelve years of his life were spent on the farm now occupied by Chas Prin dle, near Fossil which was then owned by his parents. The remainder of his life to date has been spent in and around The Dalles. He took up the study of law with Burkes & Brock of Moro, but soon abandoned the hope of becoming a lawyer and started to preach last sum mer, under the supervision of the Methodist church. Conference placed him in Morrow county, with charge over Lexington and two or three other small parishes. : He speaks with "tongue of fire" and is developing great power as an evangelist. - Last week he closed a revival meeting at Heppner, in which eighty people were converted. Those who have heard him, pronounce this young man a wonder. Rev. Rigby has written to him and hopes to have the pleasure of his assistance in the revival meeting he is about to start in Fossil. Fossil Journal. DIAMOND MOLECULES. The Gem Is Said to Be Mass of Very Lively Atoms. Sir R. Ball, who is fond of revealing the marvelous, has been studying the mysterious action of molecules; and " what he has to 'say concerning- the movements of the molecules Qf a dia mond is as truly surprising as anything he has told us about the sun and the planets. Every body is composed of a multitude of extremely, but not infi nitely, small . molecules, and it might be thought, says Sir Robert (according to a contributor in the Newcastle Eng land Chronicle), that in a solid, at all events, the little particles must be clus tered together in a compact mass. Hut the truth is far more wonderful. Were the sensibility of our eyes increased so as to make them a few million times more powerful, it would be seen that the diamond atoms, which form the perfect gem when .aggregated in suffi cient myriads, are each in a condition of rapid movement of .the most com plex description. N Each molecule would be seen swing ing to and fro with the utmost violence among the neighboring molecules and quivering from the shocks it receives from encounters with other molecules, which occur millions of times in each second. The hardness and impenetra bility so characteristic would at first sight seem to refute .the supposition that it is no more than a cluster of rapidly moving particles; but the well known impenetrability of the gem arises from the fact that, when attempt is made to press a steel point into the stone, it fails, because the rapidly mov ing molecules of the stone batter the metal with such extraordinary vehe mence that they refuse to allow it to pen etrate or even to mark the crystallised surface. When glass is cut with a dia mond the edge which seems so hard is really composed of rapidly moving atoms. The glass which is cut is also merely a mass of moving molecules and what seems to happen is that as the diamond is pressed forward its several particles, by their superior vigor, drive the little particles of glas out of the way. -. - Just full of improvements Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

Common to Nearly All Civilized Countries ' Issues in Various Nations. - Almost,"" if not quite, all; civilized countries use paper money to facilitate payments within their own jurisdic tions, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The United States uses paper money 'to a greater extent than any other country, and in notes of smaller denomination 'than any other country bf equal importance. All of our paper bills except the gold certificates are in the denominations of 81, S2, S5, S10, S20, S50, S100, 500 and $1,000; our gold , cer tificates do not appear in denomina tions less than 820. The Dominion of Canada issues SI and 82 notes, and various banks issue notes varying from 85 to 81,000. Mexico issues paper money of 10 pesos and upward and the South American states issue paper of JL similar denominations. - The Bank o; 4 W England issues all English notes in de nominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200. 300, 500 and J,000. The banks of Scotland and Ireland issue notes of 1 and upward. . The Bank of France issues notes for .50 'francs, 100, 200, 500 and 1.000 francs. The Bank of Belgium issues notes of 20 francs and upward. Italian banks issue notes of 1 lire and upward to 1,000 lire. The Bank of Germany puts put notes for 5 marks and upward to 1,000 marks. Austria issues notes of 1 gulden and upward. Russia is the only European country which issues government notes, its paper money being of the denomina tion of 1 ruble and upward. Sweden, Norway and Denmark' issue by their banks notes for 5 krone, 10, 25," 50 and 100 krone. .. . India does not issue paper money, nor does China, now. .Tartan provides paper money of 1 yen, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 100 yens, and the other countries, as a rule, issue paper money, the low est denomination of which is usually ten times the value of the coined unit of value. - ; BONNETS -AND CIGARS. ' Son Belief for the Man Whose Wife Boys Cigars for Him. "When lovely woman stoops to folly and sets out to buy her husband's cigars for him one of two things is reasonably sure . to nappen, says the New York Press. If -the unfortunate head of the household is of choleric temperament he uses language and pitches the offending weeds "out of the window. This naturally gives pain to their innocent purchaser, and is ex tremely likely to bring about afamily hurricane, with a plentiful shower of tears. If the victim of his wife's good intentions is suave and a diplomat he says nothing, but. adroitly substitutes a box of cigars of his own choosing for the gift which was meant to add to the comforts of home, and generously pre sents the first box to the Italian boot black around the corner. This is un doubtedly the better method of the two, but it has the serious disadvan tage of encouraging the misguided wife to repeat the experiment which' apparently . worked no well. This is apt to be trying to the patience even of a patient husband. Besides it is very hard on the bootblack. , Assuredly some method should be qdopted to prevent occurrences so re grettable. . Since . argument in such eases would in all human probability be utterly useless, we venture to suj- gest another remedy, when a man s wife inflicts on him the gift of a box of cigars let him accept them smilingly, remembering the bootblack around the corner. ' Then let him reciprocate by going out and purchasing- his wife a bonnet approved solely by his own masculine judgment. The cure may seem a trifle expensive, but it ' will work. The woman does not exist who would not take the hint. For the bon net chosen by a man without reference to his wife's tastes is certain to be as acceptable as the cigars which the wife buys for her husband. . NAPOLEON'S HATS, v Existing; Belies of the Great French Em peror. Careful inquiryhas led to the discov- erv that there are so fewer than nine tof Napoleon I.'s hats still ia existence. A writer in The Vie Contemporaine gives a list of them. One is in the pos session of Mme. Claitte, whose grand father, Gerf. Giraud, picked it up at Marengo. At a critical moment Bona parte started off at a gallop, and the wind blowing1 off his hat he did not stop to pick it up. Another of the hats, says the London Daily News, is in a little crypt beside Napoleon's , tomb -at the Invalides. This was worn on the 7th, 8th and 9th oi r eoruary, i07, at .ayiau, and it is the identical one represented in the colossal picture Of the battle by Gros, to be-seen in the Louvre. During the peace which Succeeded the battle Gros was commissioned to paint the picture, and in order that the figure of the em peror might -be faithfully depicted the hat was giventp the painter. At the aeatn oi uros in 1835 it was found under a glass case upon wooden stand, and it was-sold by auc tion among' the painter's effects for two. thousand and forty-seven francs fifty' centimes to Dr." Delacroix, who presented it to ' Louis Phillippe. The latter, after the famous second funeral of Napoleon', ordered it to be placed be side the remains with the emperor's crosses and the sword he wore at Aus- terlitz. . pf the remaining hats, one belongs to Prince Victor Napoleon and another to the museum at Gotha. ; :. V . ; Made Lore by Lightning. The late Prof. Morse . made love by lightning, as it were. He met his first wife during , an evening call at the house of, her father and proposed mar riage to her before he went away that night. After some happy years . she died, leaving him with several children. lie remained a widower until at the age of fifty-seven he attended the wed ding, of his eldest son. One of the younger ones was what the Scptch tenderly call an "innocent," and it was the kindness of a relative of the bride to this boy that attracted his father's attention. He invited the lady to drive with him the following davr" When they returned from the expedition they SHK MEANT WKIL ENQRJGH Bnt Her Zeal ted Her Into a Very TJn--: comfortable Predicament. The Christian zeal of a young woman of Louisville, Ky., placed her in a most uncomfortable position last Sunday, says the Courier-Journal. : She is one of a family of bright girls who are . cele brated for their good looks. She is also a teacher in the Sunday 'school of one of our fashionable churches." Recently she took a class of men, alliipeT 21 years 'of age, as she said that she thought the. male generation at that age needed more Christianity than at any other. So earnest was she in her work- that she would make the rounds -of the - back seats of the Sunday school and drag for ward the men who had come only to see the girls and be seen by them. This earnest young teacher would then take them in her class and teach them to walk in the straight and narrow path. Last Sunday she noticed a chap about 30 years old in the rear bf the church. - She saw that be was a stranger and ' thought there was a decidedly worldly look about his carefully arranged attire. In a moment the earnest young teacher ' had made up her ' mind " and invited the young man to become a member of her class. The" stranger blushed slightly with surprise and probably with pleasure at the thought of being in the handsome teacher's class. Soon he had taken a seat, appearing perfectly at home. The teacher was . surprised ' to hear the stranger answer.ail the difficult Biblical questions with perfect ease. . Finally an amnsed smile, was observed on the new scholar's face. He began to ask the teacher questions with which she was totally unfamiliar. In desperation the teacher finally asked the new scholar who he was. ' The latter' replied with the utmost gravity that he was the Rev. , who had been invited to come here and lecture that evening at the Y. M. C. A. ' The earnest young teacher now has a class of young girls. Does this Apply to Von?
