missioner to the World's Fair at New Orleansin an
swer to the inquiry of a reporter, said: "lean not
speak too highly of Dr. TURNER'S TREATMENT.
My sufieringrs nearly distracted me. My stomach
was deranged and my nervous system was complete
ly broken. I suffered from partial paralysis, rheu
matism and neuralgia. Added to the above symp
toms wers loss of memory, voice, appetite and lack
of nerve force. My family physician did me no good
and by the advice of a friend, I bought Dr. Turner's
Treatment. Two packages completely cured me.
I think the treatment is wonderful in its effects,
and recommend it in all cases of general or nervous
debility, and diseased condition of the stomach, kid

'Twas Mcniorul day in the city,
And I knew that its honored dcac!
Would have roses, and lilacs, and woodbine
In profusion over them spread.
; And I said in this v,ay side garnet
Lies one as nobly brave,
And I'll gather a rose anil plant it
In remembrance on her grave.
And I thought Oh, the many tribules!
Since she has passed away
Mankind has offered up for her
But not in ihc city to-day,
Perhaps she will le forgotten
Si I said to Him who gave
I will gather a red, red, ihornle rose
And plant it on her grave.
And I gathered a red, red, thorn!e rose
As fragrant as rose could be
And with no earthly eye to wnnes '
.None, none buLllis eve tu .vae, . .: , ,
With thoughts how she died a witnc.i

There are few people who pay any
attention as to how they put on a cross
belt. The right way to do it is to put
the belt on iu such a manner that the
driving pulley will have a tendency to
rough up the splices; thou, when the
splices come to the crossing, they will
smooth .each other down instead of
catching under the corners of each other
and tearing open a splice. - A quarter
twist belt should never be used when
it can be avoided; but when it is used;
it should be as narrow as practicable,
and the pulleys should be large. In.
creasing the width of a quarter-twist
does not increase its power in the same
ratio as in a straight or cross belt.
There is not more than one percent ad
vantage in using an oiled belt with the
e;rain side next to the pulley, which
will hardly compensate for the ugly
look which a belt presents when put
on in that manner.

A Jacksonville, Illinois, paper of
J tine 16th, has the following: A large
circle of relatives and friends gathered
in the parlor of the Illinois Deaf and
Dumb Institute at 5 p si. this after
noon to witness the marriage of Mr.
Ambrose Stephens of Robinson III., to
Miss Ellen S. Berry of Brighton, I1L,
one of the matrons of the institute.
The bride being a mnte, and the groom
deaf, Dr. Gillett, the Superintendent
of the Institute, performed the mar
riage ceremony, using part of the Epis
copal service and part of the Metho
dist service. He- stood facing the
couple and used the sign language
in addressing them, speaking the words
at the same time. To one who has
never witnessed such a ceremony it is
a sight not soon to be forgotten. The
bride and groom both repeated that
part of the service required of them.
The bride was attired in a very hand
some tap colored traveling dress. The
happy couple left on the 7 p. m. train
and will make a tour of the State,
visiting friends and relatives Quite
a large number of very useful presents
were received. The bride was a
cousin of W. W. Kentnor, of this
place.
Sixty white girls fill the places in
tha Oregon Oity woolen mills left va
cant on the exodus of the Chinamen a
few months ago. They receive thirty
dollars a month, the same paid the
Celestials, and spend their money at
home, while the almond-eyed heathen
subsided on garbage aud took the coin
out of the country. Quite a change
for the better, every honest man and
woman will remark.
The huge drill which became fast at
the bottom of the artesian well on W.
S. Ladd's farm near East Portland, has
been extracted, and the contractor hav
ing received a lot of ne-v bits from
New York, is joyf ujly proceeding with
this work. The -well is now down 16G0
feet, and is going toward the center of
the earth at the rate of from three to
ten feet per day.

The New York World says that
Judge Walter I. Hayes, of the Daven
port Circuit, is about to lje impeached
by th Iowa House of Representatives
for giving aid and comfort to the op
ponents of the Prohibition law.
Menedmnus being told one day that
it was a great felicity to have whatever
we desire, said: "Yes, but it is much
greater to desire nothing but what we
have."

Perry's vfcjt to Japan was as complete"
an epoch for the people of that country
as Columbus' to the native of America.
Tire latter disappeared under the alien
visitation. Dai Nippon has profited r
it. Events are dated in Japan from tne
appearance of Perry just as we com
mence an epwh from the birth of the s
Saviour. The Tenno lived in tho Naisu-'
Maru, part of the Oyeno or fortified '
palace grounds of the old Tycoon.
Horticultural!-, T remember, these
grounds were perfect, great, camellia
trees, l)eautiful flowers of all kinds, hand
some drives and the gardening culture.
Ihe inclosure was moated and invulnera
ble to any .attack devoid of artillery,
sheltered aad2 guarded, against any au
central gate the O-te-go-mon, gate of
the great hand was the one we entered
by. Shrines, grotesque monuments and
queer tiled buildings were in plenty, and
men and officers, but no women. Not a
female face was seen in or about any of
the official residences, except at the
entertainment at the Homa-goten, .
Sawa's palace, when singing and dancing :
girls gave an exhibition during the even- .
mg. Japan is changing, so that I pre
sume in a few years all the old will liave
disappeared and with it much of rare
liistorieal and artistic interest.
When I was in the country, in the iu-.
terior a foreigner was a curiosity, equal
to the first Chinaman or Jap seen by us
here. On a visit made to the summit of
Fuji-yama in the summer of 1371 1 went
to the famous hot springs at Hakone;
at nearly every tea-house our party was
as much of an exhibition as Jo-Jo or the
woman with big feet is here. A colored

were dangerous. All wore swords then,
now done away with. They set great
store by tliis weapon, and a Japanese
noble often wore one worth $1,000. The
occupation alone of all the trades of
swordsmith in old Japan was an honora
ble one and the members of the guild of
gentle blood. Iyeyasu, fonnder of the
last dynasty of Shoguns, left a motto
that "the girded sword was the living
soul of the Samurai." When forcing: .
the edge of the blade the ancient sword
smith put on the robes of the Kuge class
or nobles of the Mi-ka-dos court.
The temper ofthese trenclumt weapons
excels any Toledo trusty. I recall a
visit Iwa-kuru and his official family
paid the late Admiral John Rodgers on
the flagship Colorado. While in the
cabin Admiral Rodgers Fighting Jack
Rodgers he was called in the service, to
distinguish him from the present Ad
miral C. R. P. Rodgers, whose sailor
name is Chesterfield Rodgers, on account
of the urbanity with which he could ask
the deck '..ficer to take a reef in the top
sails or set a lower stun'sail was show
ing the Japanese San-jo-dai-jin the
mettle of a sword presented to him by
the emperor of Russia, when it snapped
like a whipcord. Iwa-kuru took his long
katana, heavily mounted and rich in
cunriing metal work probably an heir
loom in his family for centuries bent it
hither and thither and almost tied a bow
knot in it. Our admiral was not a little
chagrined at the bad behavior of his
Russian weapon. Afterwards, however,
the San-jo-dai-jin sent him a superb na
tive sword, probably equal to his own in
temper. I remember hearing one of the
court officers say that it was not consid
ered a good sword that would not at one
blow cleve through the dead bodies of
three men. Young noblemen were wont
to try their maiden swords by bribing
the headsman to use them at public exe
cutions, and fierce, inhuman Yakohins
tested theirs not infrequently in the old
times on dogs and lazars on the public
highway. Ex-Naval Officer in Phila

Action of Acids on the Saliva.
The influence of acids in retarding or
arresting salivary digestion is further of
importance in the dietetic use of pickcls,
vinegar, salads, and acid fruits. In tho
case of vinegar it was found that 1 part
in 5,000 sensibly retarded this process, a
proportion of 1 in 1,000 rendered it very
slow, and 1 in 500 arrested it com
pletely; so that when acid sf-1" are
taken together with bread tlu. . -ect of '
the acid is to prevent any salivary diges
tion of the bread, a matter of little mo
ment to a person with a vigorous digcw-
tion, but to a feeble 'dyspeptic one of
some importance. Tlere is a very wide
spread belief that ch inking vinegar is an .
efficacious means of avoiding getting
fat, and this popular belief would ap
pear from these experimental observa
tions to be well founded. If the vine
gar be taken at the same time as farin
aceous food it will greatly interfere with
its digestion and assimilation. Nine

Symptoms of Pen Paralysis.
There is such a thing as pen paralysis,
sometimes called "writer's cramp," and
it is a very inconvenient affection. It is
a weakness of the nerves of the hand,
caused by the constant contact of metal,
a kind of electrical action upon the
nerves and produces uncontrollable tem-
bling. Writers who use steel pens a
great deal, and telegraph operators, are
subject to it. It is treated by electricity
applied to the nerve centers and by
nerve tonics, and readily yields. I have
had it, but am in a fair way of recover.
Professional clerk should not use steel
penholders if they desire to remain free
from an attack of the disease. E. P.
