The teaching of experience as Utis- trated by several instances of prolonged abstinence, though it may afford some idea of human endurance in this partic ular under special conditions, has yet provided no certain criterion of the vi tal resistance possessed by the average man when suddenly deprived of every form of sustenance. The measure of this force may nevertheless be ganged with approximate correctness from the history of recurrent instances of pro longed and accidental privation. As an example, the following is remarkable even in this category: It is the narrative of three Bohemian miners, who, after being entombed by a fall of sand in the pit where they were working, were finally rescued alive, though of course in an utterly prostrate condition, seventeen days later. During the period of their live burial air was pumped down to them by bore holes, On this they may be said to have lived, without food and without water. The total want of the latter is what makes their survival so remarkable. But for this essential the longer fasts of profes sional fasting men would have been quite impossible. We can have no difficulty in under standing generally why this holds true if we bear in mind the fact that not only does water constitute by far the greater constituent of every tissue, but that without its due proportion the cir culation and nutrition of the blood and that needful if costly chemical change upon which all tissue repair depends would be alike impossible. In endeavoring to trace the rationale of a life persisting, as in the case of the buried miners, in spite of the absence of every natural condition, we must notice one or two significant' points. In the first place, their condition was that of rest, their functional metabolism being proportionally less active, their waste of tissue diminished and their output of carbonic acid not so likely to overcharge the surrounding atmosphere. Further, we may take it for granted that a robust physique had no small share in the con servation of vital energy. - Much depends m such cases on the amount of nitrogenous matter stored up, for the most part in the muscular tissue, and available for destructive changes. We may safely assume that the amount of reserve nitrogen in the case of these men was not meager. It is mainly, no doubt, to this circumstance that we must attribute not only the fact of their existence, but the still more remarkable prospect of their convalescence and ulti mate recovery.

Gov't Report r U Powd ABSOLUTELY PURE Scarfs That Demand a Fin. The scarf pin should always be worn with the flat, madeup scarf. There is a place for its insertion, and by seeming to hold it together it attains a utilita rian phase, in that it is an aid in gloss ing over the percentage of madeup Bug- gestiveness that is always more or less associated with the imitative article. The madeup flat or puff scarf, if worn without a scarfpin, discloses its arti ficiality in all the baldness of its me chanical inferiority. It is a curious paradox in the fashions, therefore, that the scarfing that does not actually need the scarfpin in reality requires it most of all. In the self tied De Joinville, or its madeup reproduction, the scarfpin must pierce the cross folds at the intersec tion. Clothier and Furnisher. An Interesting Question. A very interesting question is before congress and the American Bar associa tion arising out of the unfortunate mas sacre, of the Italians in New Orleans. The relations between this country and Italy were strained nearly to the point of war. Diplomatic intercourse was not discontinued, but Baron Fava, the Ital ian minister, was recalled. The issue in the controversy arose from the conduct of the mob that broke into the New Orleans jail and killed the Italians who had been arrested for the murder of the chief of police. For everything done by the people of the eity, and for everything done or left undone by the government and courts of the state of Louisiana, the federal government was responsible to Italy. The men engaged in the outrage were acquitted, and this government recog nized its moral responsibility at least by paying a small sum of money to sur viving sufferers. The question before congress and the Bar association's international law com mittee is clear. What remedy is there for a condition of law, international and domestic, under which the United States is responsible to a foreign government, even to the point of war, for the acts of the people aud courts of a single state? It is an interesting and important ques tion and one in which the whole coun try is concerned. Harper's Weekly. thro culcated will never lose their impression upon the minds of the children. As the solid columns of school children stood pay ing devotions to the flag of their country, there was not a citizen present who did n t feel that free institutions were more firmly established by these public demonstrations. The event was of great importance, and some of these present who had witnessed the centennial of the republic and the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus, considered it a great privilege to have lived during tha last half of tbe nineteenth century.

The engineer was determined to go in on time, and the way ho rushed around those curves and across canyons was enough to make a man's hair turn gray. "The peculiar thing about these moun tain engines is that they do not take a curve like any other vehicle. They go JL'plunging straight ahead until you feel r sure that they are clear of the, track and suspended in midair, and then shoot around and leave you to wonder by whit miracle you have been saved. The trucks take the curve in the orthodox manner, but the superstructure is so ar ranged that it consumes more time in making the turn. With the lightning playing about the mountain peaks. and naif disclosing the frightful gorges and swollen torrents, the great iron leviathan gwaying and plunging along that slip pery, serpentine track, I first realized the perils of railway travel and the re sponsibility of the sullen man who kept his hand on the throttle and his eye on the track.

Powell was born Nov. 23, 1851, in the city of New York, and came to Oregon across the Isthmus, with her par ents, Alfred and Esther Hall in 1852. She lived with her parents in Portland from 1866 to 1872, during which time she at tended respectively the schools of Profs. T. M. Gatch and T. L. Kodgera. From the Portland academy she was graduated with honors in the summer of 1871. In the mouth of Sept. 1S72, she was united in marriage to H. L.

Thb Dalles, Oct. 18, 1892, H. L. P. ' Brutal Assault. . A most brutal assault was made on Mr. A C. Pbelps at Collins Landing, Wash., Wednesday noon by a halt-breed Indian. Mr. Phelps, who has been a sufferer from rheumatism for several years, was walking near the house with his cane.when the half breed, whose name we could not learn, was driving some cattle through the enclosure. The old gentleman requested him to put tbe fence up after be had passed his s(ock through. This led to an altercation, and the infuriated balf-breed jumped from bis horse, grabbed the stick out of Mr. Pbelps' band and struck him over the head with it two or three terrible blows, inflicting an ugly scalp wound and catting his face over the eye. He then re mounted his horse and rode away. Mrs. Phelps, on looking oat, saw her husband staggering and the Indian getting on the horse. She helped the injured man to the houseand bandaged his wounds as well as she could. .

Essex county, Mass., has been noted not only for its legal lights like Bufus Choate, Caleb Cushing, Judge Story and others, but also for its deputy sheriffs, some of whom have served many years. Of one of these men, Daniel Potter, many amusing stories have been told. At one time he entered a newspaper office in Salem, and addressing the only scribe who was in sight said: "I thought I would tell you that to morrow I shall go -where I never went before and can never go again." yho ' scribe, " knowing ' his ' caller, promptly "gave it up," and then Mr. Potter said: ' v .- "It is into my eightieth year!" Some years ago these old deputies had a gathering at the borne of a certain one of their number in Gloucester. While they were roaming abont the house the host called the attention of his guests to an old clock, a great favorite of bis. He told his friends of his great attach ment to this ancient timepiece and grew quite pathetic at certain points in his remarks, which he brought to a close by saying in a voice full of emotion: . "Gentlemen, I have wound up that clock every night for more than forty years." He had evidently made an impression on his visitors, when one pld deputy, who had been carefully examining the clock, turned the tide of feeling evoked by the story by saying dryly: "Well, I always did think you were something of an idiot! That's an eight day clock 1" Youth's Companion. - Bellgious Differences. In the greater concerns of life there are wonderful illustrations of the con flicts of opinions. There are something over 1,200,000,000 of human beings in the world.

A lady of fine artistic .taste has dis covered that at church parade her prayer book, by its incongruous color, entirely ruined the effect of a carefully conceived costume. It struck a discord in an otherwise perfectly harmonious dress. This has been remedied by hav ing a cover to her prayer book whioh Bhall be perfectly in accord with the leading tone of her garments. The prayer book cover will henceforth re ceive as attentive consideration as the bonnet, the gloves and the sunshade, and no jarring note of color will be in troduced by means of a volume bound in blue velvet or in scarlet morocco. London Graphic. The Prohibitionist Vote. The election returns of the last four years give some interesting information as to the strength of the Prohibition party and its distribution. In 1888, at the last presidential election, the party cast 240,907 votes, which was a little more than 2.1 per cent, of the total vote. In the congressional elections two years later, 1890, the vote was lighter, being 198,880, but the percentage remained very nearly the same, being a little over 3 per cent. But while this was the proportion of the total national vote the power of the party m the several states is by no means indicated by it. In 1888 there were electors named in every state but one, South Carolina, and the vote ran from 41 in Nevada to 30,231 in New York. In Wisconsin it was 14,277; in Minnesota, 15,311; in Pennsylvania, 20,- 947; in Michigan, 20,942; in Illinois, 21,- 695; in Ohio, 24,350. In some of the states the proportion was nearly 6 per cent.; in several it was between 4 and 5 per cent. Harper's Weekly. A Woman Who Is Unjust to Her Husband. I know a woman who is always tell ing her female friends of' the brutality of her husband. ' They give her genu ine sympathy and advice. She thrives on the sympathy, but ignores the ad vice. She goes on- month after month with her harrowing stories of his drunk enness, his infidelity, his cruelty and bis disrespect to her. These habits of his do not exist save in her imagination and her insane crav ing for sympathy and attention. With him she sometimes amuses him with ridiculous suspicions, but they do not take the form of accusations, and he has no idea of the reputation he is get ting among her warm hearted and sym pathetic friends. If he had an idea of it, it strikes me she would have more attention for a few minutes than she wants. Teresa Dean in Chicago Inter Ocean. A Nontransferable Railroad Ticket. A young railroad man of Pomona has come to the front with an invention in the way of a ticket that will bring him fame and an enviable bank account. It is simply this: The purchaser of an iron clad ticket is not to be required to write his name or make any formal declara tion as to his intention in regard to tha ticket. Nothing of the kind. The agent who sells the low rate round trip points his little camera at you while he gives you your change. It records the image of the purchaser in an instant. The agent pulls out the slide, rubs his chemi cal sponge over the sensitized paper and there you are. In the upper left hand corner of the ticket he pastes that pio- ture, puts it in under a stamp that em' bosses the edges, and unless you can find somebody that looks enough like you .to risk the 'chance of a return on your image the ticket will carry the original purchaser and nobody else. Pomona (Cal.) Progress. A Plague of Flies. An army of willow flies last night cov ered the city in .swarms of millions. Passers by the electric lights were al most blinded . by them, and women shrieked and ran as the flies clung to them or flew into their faces. The plat form of the Union depot was a sight They could be shoveled up or swept off by the bushel, and handfuls could be gathered in the air. They filled the wait ing rooms and ticket offices, and when trains arrived they filled the cars. Bush els of them were swept up this morning, and could be gathered under any elec tric light, while the globes of the lights were packed full. The steamboats were deluged with them. The only gainers by this affliction appear to be the spar rows, who this morning ate so many that they could neither chatter nor fight. Alton (His.) Democrat. Why Meerschaum "Colon."
