AVER'S
CHERRY
PECTORAL
Two years ago, I had the grippe,
-and it left me with a cough which gave
me no rest night or day. My family
physician prescribed for me, changing
the medicine as often as he found the
things I had takes were not helping
me, hut, in spite of his attendance, I got
no better. Finally, my husband, read
ing one day of a gentleman who had
had the grippe and was cured by taking
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, procured, for
me, a bottle of this medicine, and before
I had taken half of it, I was cured. I
liave used the Pectoral for my children
and in my family, whenever we have
needed it, and have found it a specific
for colds, coughs, and lung troubles."

Public School Attendance.
From Principal Gavin we learn that
the quarter term (5 weeks) ending Fri
day of last week has the highest enroll
ment and average daily attendance ever
recorded in the history of The Dalles
public schools. In November last all
previous records were broken and it was
.thought that the highest mark for the
-school year had been reached. The at
tendance of December and January con
firmed that belief by tailing short 10 in
; average daily attendance in comparison
with the previous school quarter. How-
-ever, the first quarter of the spring term
- shows a greater number enrolled and in
r attendance than during November.
'iThe exact figures are as follows:

No High Water Tlila Tear.
A high water the present season like
that of 1894 would undoubtedly deetroy
the locks at the Caecades. Nothing that
could be done would save them. It is
somewhat consoling therefore to observe
the opinion of the Oregoniaa that the
prospects are unfavorable for a big "June
rise" in the Columbia this year. 'From
all reports there is but little snow in any
of the mountains about the several
sources of the river. This is not favor
able for fishermen at the dalles and cas
cades. In order for the wheels to be
successful, it is necessary to have a good
height of water. Fishermen who have
been up the rivef, lookingover the situa
tion, imagine that the wheels at the cas.
cades and dalles will not do any better
this year than they did last, which was
a poor season for them, on account of the
low water. The traps and seins and
gillnets are so numerous during the sea
son in the lower part of the river that it
is a wonder that any salmon ever get np
to the cascades or into the Clackamas.
The only chance for the fish reaching
the spawning grounds will be afforded
during the' close season, which begins
March 1st, and ends April 10th. If the
fishermen can be made to keep these
nets out of the rivers during this period,
some fish may get up beyond their reach
before it is over.
AMUSING TRICK.
With Which to Entertain at little Ex
pense. A neat trick, affording1 considerable
amusement at little expense, can be
produced by causing1 a candle to burn,
while almost immersed in a tumbler
ot' water. The experiment is as follows:
Insert a nail not too heavy in the
lower end of a short candle to order
to make that end heavier, and place
the whole in a gtass containing enough,
water to reach, the upper end of the
candle without wetting1 the wick.
At first thought nothing seems
stranger than to expect a candle to"
be entirely consumed in such a situa
tion; but it is simple enough. As the
candle burns it grows lighter and light
er, and rises gradually as it diminishes
in length, so that the lighted end always
remains above the surface of the water,
Moreover, the outside of the candle,
being1 cooled, will melt much moreslow'
iy than usual, and the flame will make
a little hollow in the center. This hol
low place also helps in making1 the can
dle float, and preserves the wick from
contact with the water. Thus the can
die will continue to burn in its strange
candlestick until the wick is entirely
consumed.
Provocation for a Lawsuit.
There is a story told of a very emi
nent lawyer now no longer with us,
who once, while endeavoring to dis
suade a friend from going to law, was
asked what he would himself consider
sufficient ground for resorting to litiga
tion. "My dear fellow," he replied,
"I do not say that under no conceivable
circumstances would I take proceed
ings against anyone, but I do say that
if this moment you deliberately upset
my ink on the table, chucked my wife
out of the window, threw that volume
of reports at the bust of Dickens, 'made
hay' with my furniture and finally
tweaked my nose, I should, no doubt,
use my best endeavors to kick you down
stairs; but once rid of you, either by
force or persuasion, no power on earth,
should induce me to bring an action
against you."
OMEN'S FACES
like flowers, -fade
and wither with time ;
the bloom of the rose
is only known to the
healthy woman's
cneelcs. The nerv
ous strain caused by
the . ailments and
pains peculiar to the
sex, and the labor
and worry of rearing
a familv. can often
be traced by the lines in the woman's face.
Dull eyes, the sallow or wrinkled face and
those "feelings of weakness" have their
rise in the derangements and irregularities
peculiar to women. The functional de
rangements, painful disorders, and chronic
weaknesses of women, can be cured with
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. For the
young girl just entering womanhood, for
the mother and those about to become
mothers, and later in "the change of life,"
the " Prescription " is just what they need ;
it aids nature in preparing the system for
the change. It's a medicine prescribed for
thirty years, in the diseases of women, by
Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti
tute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will cure the chronic inflamma
tion of the- lining membranes which cause
such exhausting drains upon the system.
It cures nervous prostration, sleeplessness,
faintness, nervous debility and all disorders
arising from derangement of the female
organs and functions.
Mrs. Jennie Williams, of Mohawk, Lant Co.,
uregoit, writes : 1
was sick for over three
years with blind dizzy
spells, palpitation of
the heart, pain in the
back and head, and
at times would have
such a weak tired feel
ing when I first got
up in the morning,
and at times nervous
chills.

pleased to learn that there is at -least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to care in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's -Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building np the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have eo much
