William Dial and family, who have
been visiting at the home of Dial's sis
ter in D3-ton, Or., came borne with en
thusiastic impressions of the Willam
ette valley, says the East Oregonian.
Mr. Dial brought back a specimen of
Klondike grub in the shape of a cigar
box half fall of dried potatoes. These
resemble a job lot of deceased worms
more than anything else, but are a con
venient food for prospectors, neverthe
less. All they need is boiling, when
they swell up quicker than a newly
made congressman, and mashed pota
toes cling lovingly to the beard of a
Klondike miner when he finishes bis
humble meal. Other vegetables be
sides spuds are dried at Dayton, where
three dryers are in constant operation,
day and night. Onions, cabbage and
carrots, as well as all kinds of fruit, are
.handled. A bushel of potatoes makes
aeven pounds of. dried food, which re
tails at 18 to 25 cents per pound. It
stakes twelve hours to complete the
..process, and eight cents a pound is
charged for drying them. Onions dry
out from one and one-half to two pounds
to the bushel, and bring $1.50 to $2 to
the pound. The industry is a new one,
and bids fair to develop into large pro
portions. Advertised Letters.

KISSING THE BOOK.
Enarllah. People Jut Learnlmgr tfc
Scotch Form of Oath Ia Admlast Die.
With reference to the question asked
in parliament as to "kissing the book,
a leg"al correspondent writes in the
London Telegraph that of late it has
been particularly 'noticeable that many
witnesses prefer the Scotch, iorm of
taking" the oath toy holding up the
right band and repeating after the
judge or clerk the solemn words. It
is only now that people are becoming
cognizant of the fact that they need
not "kiss the book." The clause in the
oaths act of 1888, by which the Scotch
form is admissible, was not inserted to
meet a religious difficulty, but on-
medical grounds. Many persons have
properly an objection to touching with
1th
rrh
eir lips a volume which has teen
humbed by scores of unknown per-
ons and may contain the germs of dis
ease. "Kissing the door is really no
essential part of the old-fashioned
oath, and the Scottish method, if uni
versally adopted, would deif eat the cun-
ng schemes of those who think their
lonscience is quit of perjurj-when thep
ntrive to kiss their thumb instead of
he book, which is generally a soiled
and evil-smelling thing. A story is
told of a Glasgow bailie on the occasion
of a witness being sworn before him.
"Hold up your right arm," commanded
the lineal descendant of Baihe iNicol
Jarvie. "I canna Jae't," said the wit
ness. "Why not?" "Got shot in that
airrn." "Then hold up 3-our left."
"Canna dae that either got shot in the
ither airm, too." "Then hold -up your
leg," responded the irate (magistrate;
"no man can be sworn in, this court
without holding up something."
TELL A WOMAN BY HER PURSE.
Thinars That Nearly Always Indicate
Owner's Character and Condition.
It has been stated, perhaps by detec
tives, that the age and a great knowl
edge of the whole character of a woman
can be gained from the contents of her
pocketbook, says the Chicago Times
Herald. The business woman alwaj's has a
number of receipted bills and a quan
tity of cash in her pocketbook; while the
mother of a family usually has many
unreceipted bills, little cash, and the
sides bursting with samples and bar
gain advertisements. The average
young lady has a favorite poem stowed
away in a corner and invariably a sou
venir of something bordering on the su
perstitious. For instance, while the
writer was in a State street jeweler's
store the other morning a tortoise shell
portmonnaie was found on the floor.
It contained 85 cents, and, far back in
a secret pocket, a poem entitled "Soul
for Soul." It began:
Oh, eyes that pierce me through and
through
And draw my very soul away.
Tour sunshine may not fill my life
Nor turn my darkness into day.
Next to that piece of sentiment was a
small card with the young lady's name
and weight printed upon it. On the
reverse side of the card was a date
with the words: "If the sun shines
three days after this, you will have
good luck for nine days." About noon
time, a beautiful little brunette, all
anxiety and blushes, hurried into claim
the purse.
LONG HAIR A DISGRACE.
In Corea It Is Indicative of Social Os
tracism or Mental Humility.
The wearing of long hair in Corea is
indicative of social disgrace or mental
humility, and marks either the penitent
or the outcast. The custom of wearing
the hair long by these classes has
aroused theoomxnercial spirit in certain
speculative natives, and they have set
about the labor of supplying the world
with hair shaved f rom the heads of their
fellow-countrymen.
When the Mongolian faker desires to
punish himself for a sin real or fan
cied, it makes no difference he allows
his hair and. nails to grow. In the same
countries the criminal is obliged to let
his hair crow, because the true
oriental despises long hair, and the
wearing of it is a certain sign of peni
tence or a punishment. 1
Now, of recent years the Corean
have learned to put these extraordinary
growths of hair that is, after they are
cut off to some comimencial -use. They
have established factories for the man:
ufacture of mats, horse blankets, sad
die blankets, halters and even whole
sets of harness, all from human hair.
A carpet factory, in which carpet i
made from human hair, is also located
at Seoul. In this connection it may be
apropos to mention the famous "prayer
rug 01 the shah of Persia. It wat
made in Corea more than a century ago,
Tt is three feet square and bordered
with, diamonds and pearls, and is con
sidered of almost fabulous value.
What an Earthqaake Is.
In the course or a sermon a negro
preacher in Georgia, touching on the
Bubject of earthquakes, said: "Oh, my
sinful bearers, a yearthquake is nothin'
mo' ner less den dis: Hell done got
tired waitin f er you, en- gone ter sleep,
en wake up yawnin !
