Mr. E. W. Helm came in town from bis farm atNansene yesterday. He has en ished threshing bis grain and Iihs it stored in the barn. His loss from the late rains is very light. The Monumental mill at Granite is running on full time, and the ore being produced is very rich in si'ver. A larje qnantity of ore is on hand, and the mill will continue operations for an indefinite time. Harry Hansbury and Alton Hayden, . who were arrested for larceny or a boat and tried before Justice Schutz to-day, haye been discharged. The elements constituting the crime did not appear in testimony. Wood boats are still unloading their careoes on the tench, wbicn is now veil covered with fuel. If the winter is cold and long all the wocd may be required to keep our residents in a warm an I comfort able condition. Mr. William Gilliam, a Dalles boy, who is now chief engineer on the steamer South Coast, plying between Ban Francisco and .Portland, gave us a pleasant call this morning. Mr. Uilliam is fat and happy, and appears to enjoy lite as only 'good natured people do. ' ia the matter of the suspension of C. II. r ion, an attorney of Uuion county, suit lo which was begun in Union county, and a change of venue bad to this court, the case has been pat at issie and a statement given to a referee to report testimony by tiie first day of the February term. Newspaper lue appears to be very ex citing in Russia. An editor in Kursh re cently discharged a proof reader. Latrr in the day the man relumed, killed the editor and then opened fire on the staff. Two were killed, and the other escaped by jumping out of the window. All members of the Oregon Press Asso ciation who desire to attend the midwin ter fair at Han Francisco have been re quested to inform Mr. L. E. White, chair man of the executive committee, at once so that arrangements can be made for their transportation and accommodation The Union 'Pacific, in a circular lately . issued, quotes a rate ot XI per 100 pounds on apples in car lots from Portland, Wil lamette valley points and stations on lue Union Pacific in Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington to the Missouri river.

Eugene Guard: As the Roseburg local came up this atternoou an iron rail was . discovered across the track about one and one-half miles above Hwrisbure, near where the long trestle begins. The rail had been taken from a pile alongside the track. The train was stopped betore the point was reached: No clue to the gulity party, but it is supposed to have been the work of tramps. Notwithstanding the season has far advanced wheat is still being brought to the city, both from this and Kli kitat counties If the elements had been favor able this year the northwest would have harvested the largest crop in its history, and, if a fair price had been offered, our farmers would have been in good cir cumstances. As it is, producers must taxe courago and hope for better pros pects in the future. We are informed that there are needy persons in this city who require im mediate assistance, and tliee should not be allowed to suffer foi want of attention. j l AM 1 ; l : . i . i. vur jjeupic uc always- iui;nucu iu iuia , favorably upon needy subjects of charity, ana uie societies in mis city wnicn aliena to such matters should not be negligent in affording relief. The citizens, if ap pealed to, will respond liberally, and the hungry may be fed and the naked clothed. An exchange asks: How many miles will the jaws of a gum-chewing girl travel in the course of a year t And then says: diving her jaw a play of half an inch or one inch of travel for each chew, thirty chews a minute, sixty minutes an' hour, ten hours a day, 365 days in a year, her jaws will have traveled ,750,000 inches, or a fraction over 103 miles. This for Ihe girl wi h a small mouth; the big mouthed girl will beat that record. Columbia Chronicle: Lust week we mentioned that the Inlander would cease to do business. That was the intention at the time. Now another change in the managemeLt has taken place, Geo. Oossler bas bought the plant and will edit the paper. We are glad to see so many of our citizens getting experience in the newppnper ousiness. They will know how to sympathize with the poor editor after they have had a taste of the business. wana nana union: "John McMaolers, an ol'l ami l.iglUy respected resident of Stevens county, was f und dead SatnHay at his home.

The following is frem the columns of our cotemporary, the Wasco Sun: Private letters inform us that "the Wasco delega tion" In California, Messrs. J. U. Mack, Andy Allen, Jerry Young, Dave McAfee and others, are meetlnz witb success. Dave Miller, our Tygh jockey, was set back at the post on account of the bad action of "Wild Oats." Dave was well up as the rider of "Ruby." Alva Royn ton has made some good mounts, and is quite a favorite with all. "Soretta" and "Tim Murphy" have won several laurels. The Lincoln County Leader , charges Judge Fullerton witb signing Oregon Pa cific papers when he didn't know what was in them, and says be has admitted the receiver's certificates were not receiv er's certificates at all. The Leader says: "The idea of a court that has a concern valued at millions of dollars in his bands and whose pay roll is in the neighbor hood of ten thousand dollars, signing an order affecting two months' pay of these men and not knowing what that or-er was? It is one of the things one don't like to think about." Mr. Stacey Shown, the' jeweler and watchmaker, has thoroughly repaired the watch which was on the person of Wm. R. Taffe, who was drowned near Biggs, and which was six weeks in the water. There was not a p.ece of steel in it that could be used, and the action of the water on the watcb was such that every part of the machinery had to be overhauled. Mr. Shown possessing rare mechanical skill, has accomplished the feat of placing the watch in as good con - dmon as ever. This work will act as a good advertisement for the leading watcb-, maker and jeweler in this city. Coryallis Times: The case of Maria Armingtoa ys Sol Kins appears on the court docket for this term and will probably continue to appear for several yeara to come. . it bas been continued so long now that the lodges before whom it has been brought have died and the original at torneys have grown eray in watching over it. It was instituted nearly thirty years ago, and ia an outgrowth of the Rogue River Indian war. Col. Kelsay has been attorney for the administrator and be ap pears at each term of court and moves for a continuance of the case. If coi g eas ever pays the Warwick estate for th- depreda tions committed by the Indians, the Arm ingtOD claim will be settled. we could ask, and especially this is true ot I Sheriff Bolles and his gentlemanly- deputies. excepting Lmdgreen, who is a member of tne China-loving fraternity."

Last Monday Sheriff Wells, of Polk conoty, tried to attach some oat belonging to a farmer named Hehn; but was met with a shot iiaa and a threat to shoot. Heho was after warda caught napping and arrested two deputies then went to the oats; bu were met by two so s of Hehn with shot guns, who were disarmed, and the whole household arrested.

Daven port returned last evening from a two days' stay in Portland. To-day is non-judicial. Court is not in session, and sheriff , clerk a and recorders offices are closed. Mr. James Cram, of Crook county, came in town yesterday with a band of cattle for the Portland market. Our citisecs have been busy cleaning aide- walks, and the congealed element forms no impediment to pedestrianism. It began snowing last night abont 10 o'clock and this morning it covered the ground to tbe depth of a foot. The merry jingle of sleigh-bells is heard on the streets, and the small boy and . small girl enjoy themselves coasting. The side awning on Washington street. adjoining Pease & Maya store was so badly bent by the weight of snow that it was torn don this morning. Joles Bros, are selling goods at bed rock prices to close business. This means what it says, and is not done to dispose of infer ior goods at fair prices. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Seufert have be n visiting friends in the east for some time, during which they have spent several days at the world's fair at Chicago. Shoveling snow from sidewalks was ex tensively indulged in by property owners this morning. This is the first time in tha history of The Dalles that a anow blockade has been experienced before the regular Thanksgiving day. Two tramps were arrested Tuesday for the attempted train wreck near Barrisburg Monday. An iron ran was laid across the track, but was discovered in time to prevent any mischief. There is no direct testimony against the tramps, bat circumstances poiut to their guilt. Guard: Hundreds of acres of new or- chard and hop fields will be planted in Lane county this season. It is the road to future prosperity. Land that produces now practically no income, if used in those in dustries, will furnish employment toianv laborers and reward the owners with fair returns. Eugene Guard: It appears that the Union Pacific intends to take a hand in boating on the upper Willamette. They have informed their agent in Eugene, Mr. McClanaban, that boats wil1 run tu Jiiiigene as soon as tbe water reaches a suitable stage, and have prepared a freight schedule that makes a considerable redaction under those paid at present. Mr. Henry Wbitmore. of this city, while walk ig on the sidewalk near the corner of Second and Liughlin, met with an accideut which might have resulted fatally The porch under whi- h be was walking, being covered with snow, fell, and be received a portion of the weight on his body. Fortu nately be was not seriously injured, and es caped with few bruises. There were three carloads if cattle shipped to Portland Tuesday from Siltwarshe k IO a stocKyards iu this city. They came from Idaho, and were in excellent condi tion. Yesterday 370 head, from Crook county, left the stockyards for Portland. They were owned by Messrs. Reed, Allen, Howard, Stearns, Jesse and Prine. These were also in fine condition, and will furnish good beef for the metropolis. Mr. "Toad" Jackson drove in town from King ley this morning. He says snow on the Tygh ridge is about a foot deep, and it is about the same depth all the distance to this city. It began last night and con tinued snowing the whole distance. Farm ers are well prepared to feed stock during the winter months; but there are many cat tle on the range, and snow comUg so early, if it continues, they will suffer very much before being driven to home pasture. The jury in the case of MacEeachern and MacLeod ys S. B Adams brought in a ver dict last night for the plaintiff. This action was brought by plaintiffs on a promissory note, giyen by the defendant for Dalles Military Road land script, which was after warda placed on a portion of the Wagon Road grant that Secretary Hoke Smith decided to be covered by tbe grant of the Northern Pacific, and which the defendant alleged to be a total failure of consideration. somn prac ical joker played a big one on tne gullible ropulists id Spokane the other day by d. daring the lieu land decision of Secretary Smith threw open a section fA railroad land in the city limits. About 1000 men proceeded to take up claims and huild houses before they discovered it was "love's labor lost." as the section is part of the original grant and was confirmed to tbe company three years or more ago, after a long investigation. Lincoln county Leader: The remains ot a person were found iu a lonely canyon oeir San Diego, California, which are supposed to be those of Charles Greenfield, formerly of Yaquina City and owner of considerable property on the bayr It is believed that he bad been murdered and the body partially destroyed by fire. His sleeve buttons and watch are said to be in the possession of parties wbo claim they bold a power of at torney for all of the Greenfield property. - Tho man Ciarke, of Butteville, who mys teriously disappeared a short time ago and whose hat was afterward found in tbe Wil lamette river by his step-son, has turned up in fortland. JNo reason cau be attributed yet for his strange actions. All suspicions as to tonl play are now set at rest. He was the husband of the woman who was in the county jail awaiting trial for the crime of adultery previous to the adjourned term ot court. She was discharged because her husband failed to appear agaicst her. A band of 1S00 sheep passed through the city this morning en route to the stoefcysrd of R E Saitmarsbe ft Co., where tbey will be fed before being placed on the market. Tbey were purchased by Messrs. Fargber Bros, for the eastern market. The sheep industry has been a great factor of develop ment in this portion of the northwest; but w tb wool on the free list "Othello's occu pation's gone" in this regard. Oar flock masters must wait patfehtly until 1896. when a Republican administration will re store the duties on wool. Baker City Democrat: Last Monday af ternoon a lumber hauler for the O. L Co. at Pleasant Valley by the name ot Dum mmr met with a painful and fatal accident. lie was coming down a steep part of the road when the brake on bis wagon gave way, overturning the wagon.

The East Oregon Republican of Union is making a strong tight tor the location of the branch insane asylum; but the citizens of The Dallea will wait patiently until the board ot physicians decide. Mr. Polk Butler, of Naosene, is in town to-day. He says the weather has not been severe in tbat portion of the county, and the snow is rapidly disappearing from the effects of a prevailing chinook. Mike Klein was lodged in the county i til Tuesday night for larceny ot - shoes at the Locks on the day previons. He was held to answer tbe charge before tbe grand jury, and bail not being furnished was remanded to the custody of tbe sheriff. The "infernal machine." recently sent to Supt, Mulcahy, is ttill oo the roof of the O. P. offices and remains undisturbed. Ic may be a "sell," but any one desiriBg to in vestigate tbe mysterious little box is invitad to do so, says the Coryallis Nevis. Half a dozen explanations haye been offered, but no one knows what is iu tbe box. Baker Democrat: On Tuesday night six white meu raided the Chinese section houses at Unity and Weatberby, stations on the Union Pac tie, and u t only drove the Chinamen away but robbed them of money and valuables. - The grand jury will yery likely cause a rigid investigation and bring the violators of the law to justice. Partiej who came from the country this morning say a chinook wind has been blow ing since last night, and very little snow re mains. The storm was not as violent in tbe interior districts as in the city, and as much rain as snow fell. Cattla can- find good feed on the hillsides, and no suffering has been experienced from fhe recent snow fall. The Li Grande Farmer, whose editor m among those indicted for participating in the so-called Chinese riots, says: "Our treatment at the bands of tbe neoDle of Union and the officers of tbe court was all The bosrd of trustees of the soldier's home composed of W.

Salem, it seems, is determined to be "in it" in some maimer. It she cannot haye the building Hue f she will at least superintendent its construction. Baker City Democrat: Three large sil ver bars, too heavy for one man to lift and valued at about $3500, the output ot the Monumental mine at Granite, have been on exhibition at the Hotel Warshauer for the past twenty-four hoars and have attracted great interest, since silver bullion in these parts is a rarity, gold being the prevailing metal and so common that yellow bars at tract no special attention. This output was brought to o ir city by Mr. C. S. Mil ler, manager of the Monumental, and is only the "strainings." so called, a partial cleanup of the mill tor the past month. Coasting is rare sport these days, and tbe hoys and girls enjoy themselves very much. To day the warm weatber has melted the mow somewhat, and this has interfered with the amusement; but yesterday the hills were fane and the sport was truly royal. Washington street U the principal hill, and it was dangerous for pedestrians to pasj while the youthful American bas his cr her amusement. This frown of winter is only temporary, and we may expect the full anger ot the old man of tbe seasons next month. Sleighing and coasting in abundance, and life will be one jolly holi day for youth and beauty. Who would not be young, in the balcyou days of youth! ' Tbe good work of advertising Oregon did not cease when the gates of the world's fair were thrown open announcing the close of the Columbian exposition. Oo tbe other hand, the good i work goes marching on through Georgia, Maryland and Indiana, to which states quite attractive exhibits of selected fruit, etc., were sent when the big exposition closed. These exhibits were sent to the state fairs in those states and are attracting much attention. Oregon a beautiful little pavilion in the forestry building was sold outright to a New Mil fold, Conn., wood finishing company, where it win be placed on exhibition in tbe mill office and remain permanent and attractive advertisement ot Oregon's forestry wealth. The latest news from Missoula, received by telegraph on Wednesday, is o tbe effect tbat the relief party from Fort Missoula in search of the Carlin hunting party has been recalled and all search abandoned. A man named Larson, living near Lolo, camped with tbe bunting parry about three weeks ago on the middle fork, of the Clearwater. They were with a couple of French boys who have prospected there, and are- well supplied with- food for the winter, having 500 poonds ot flour and plenty of meat. Tbe relief party from the fort can only re turn by the way of the trial, and all trans portation will be left where it is until spring, as it is impossible to get it out this winter. - A dispatch dated Union, Nov. 21st, says: The game rooster that Dr. J. Guy Lewis had crowing over the Oregon fruit exhibit in the horticultural hall at tbeworld's lair has arrived here. A placard on the cage bore the following inscription: "My dear express agent: My name is little Billy Ore gon. I am the proud little rooster that made the horticultural hall ring with the crowing over the victory for Oregon when she beat the world on apples aud fruit of all kinds. Please feed me and give me water and deliver me to Uncle Bill Usher. Union. Oregon, and for you and I will ever cock-a-doodle-do."

'The small boy" has amused himself snow-balling the last few days, and the Cel- Iestial residents haye been the victims. The poor Mongolians, who quietly go about their business, are annoyed at every street corner by hoodlums snow-balling tbem. Tbey take this good-naturedly with some exceptions, and the youthful scion of the soil soon beats a hasty retreat when at tacked by billigerent Chinamen. It is not agreeable to a pleasurable state of existence to be attacked by snow-balls, and iu many instances tbey mnict bruises and hurts which are ' not conducive to angelic condi tion of existence. Cold philosophy might dictate that it would be better "to bear the ills we have than fly to those we know not of;" but when a remedy can be easily and teadily applied, human desires will resort to tbe quicker method, and the "small boy" must make himself very "scarce" or take the consequences. Fatal Aooident. . The body of Mr. At McCorkle, son of Mr. McCorkle of Tygh Valley, aged about 19 years, wa found dead Sunday evening un der a wagen near Kent postoffice, Sherman county. Itk is supposed that he fill from the seat of the toward wagon, aud the ve hicle passed over him, crushing out his life. He was dnving four horses attached to two wagons loaded with wheat, and in passing down a steep grade the front one, on which he was sitting, slanted sideways throwing him out and causing his death in th? man ner mentioned. Young McCorkle had been at work for a farmer near Kent fur several months, and wai of steady and in dustrious habits, and his tragical death will b3 a sad blow to the community. His fathtr, Mr.-W. McCorkle, who has a gri-t mill in Tygh valley, is an old aud respected citizsn of the county, and is wellj known to all old residents. When learning of the ao cideut to his boy he immediately made pre parations to go to the scene of the tragedy, but we are informed that the horse which was attached to the buggy ran sway, and he was so badly injured tbat be bad to give up the journey. This was peculiarly aad, and tbe sympathy of the community will be ex tended to tbe father under these very de plorable circumstances. Keal Estate Transfers.

Mr. Fred Kemp, of Hood River, died at tbe residence of his parents in that town last Tuesday, and was buried in Pine Groye cemetery the following day. Rev. Troy Shelley conducted the funeral services at tbe church and cemetery, which were very impressive. The young man was aged 19 years, and was highly respected in the com munity bv reason of his exemplary habits.

We received the following letter from a subscriber who is Republican to tbe core: Waiaula, Wash., Nov. 16, 1893. Editor Tuhs-Mocstaiskkr: Times are the worst here ever known. A great deal of the wheat is damaged. Farmers are really bankrupt, and some of tbeukdo not know how they will get grub for the winter, and I have heard' of some who will not be able to sow their summer fallowed ground on account of turning over the grain they raised this summer to their creditors. Hurrah for McKinley and protection I Hurrah for good sound money! Money that has one hundred cents l every dol lar, whether it be gold, silver or paper I hope you may live long enough to see the Columbia river open from the United States boundary to the Pacific , ocean. Stay right with tbem on tbat point, and you will have the approval of an old sub scriber. - . He Is All Bight. The excitement prevailing in this citv on account of tbe supposed disappearance of Mr Ben' McAtee should be allayed, as we have positiye information that be is all right. He arrived at his home last Sunday, and Mr. Clay Butler, of Dufur, on a visit to bis unci', Mr. Polk Butler, of Naosene, says that McAtee is at home enjoying him self. We never at any time auoDosed that Mr. Aotee intentionally left the country, or was the victim of foal treatment, and are happy to state tbat our predictions have proved correct. Mr. McAtee ia a man of great integrity ot character, of generous im pulses, and would not "skip" the country for any reason, The stories of wild and sensational dreamers have been proved in correct, as they are in many of the affairs of human life. He will soon be in town, and will prove to all that he ia the most animated corpse seen for many days, and the most real intangibility that ever existed in the mind of poet and philosopher. Tuesday morning's dispatches from Ae toria contained the following: "John W. Gearbart, late assessor of . thia county, who it will be remembered tried to commit sui cide some months ago while insane, was taken before Judge Cleveland 4 to-day and adjudged insane upon examination by Dr. Fulton and - was taken to-night to the Sa lem asylum. The affair is a peculiarly sad one. Driven out of his mind tbrongb a conscientious attempt to discharge the heavy duties of hia office when he was phys ically iucapable of undertaking the strain, he attempted to end hit life by cutting open a blood vessel. He was, after recovering, sent to California in charge of a medical Following the gratifying announcement that Oregon received the first medal at the world's fair for the finest display in the for estry department comes the welcome news that the yacht Vigilant, which run the great international race this year, had a mast of Pacific coast fir, the ttee which leada all others in Oregon's forests. The importance of the vast timber preserves ot Uregon is beginning to be appreciated by the world. The forests of this stats contain 266.893,- 255,000 feet of standing timber. The ex tent of this timber wealth can be appreci ated when it is stated that the forests of Minnesota, a great lumbering state, contain only I2J49.525.000 feet of timber, while Michigan, another great lumbering state. contains 100,000.000 feet less timber than is represented in the great forests of two counties of Oregon alone . Deputy Sheriff Crbner was considerably surprised last night when Jessie Buscb, the wayward girl, presented herself at the county jail, says tbe Eugene Guard, and an nounced tbat she was now ready to board with the city for the next 80 days, the mainder of her unexpired sentence. She olaiined to have been secreted in the woods near Judkin's point all the time, and was nearly starved. Her appearance bore out the statements msde. She was locked up in the female cell of the county ja.il, where the city will keep her fer the present at least. As to the person who liberated her, she claimed to have no knowledge although it was plain to be seen tbat she.was pro tecting the scoundrel wbo should be given a long term in the penitentiary tor the crime Some means should be secured by which this girl could be placed ia some charitable reformatory institution. Salem Statesman: Yesterday ' was tbe time decided upon by Superintendent L L. Rowland of the insane asylum tor himself and the committee recently selected to start for Eastern Oregon to look over the differ ent proposed sites upon which to locate tbe branch insane asylum. Owing to circum stances the superintendent was oompelled tj defer the trip until after tbe 1st of next month. Tbe conditions are such that the end of the fiscal year ia near at band, and should the surjerintendent leave at the present time it wonld delay tbe work of Drenarins hia reoorta and other bnsiness neces sary to be cleared up. There is suffi cient time yet to go to Eastern Oregon for this purpose ot deciding upon a location lor the reason that the work of construoti on could not possibly be commenced during the winter months. A Business Man Wbo Baa Devoted Bte self to Making a Woman Happy. I came across a hero the other day. He looked much the same as every day mankind. He did not know he was a hero, nor did I until he had left the party in which I met him, Domestic heroism, tnat of tne pri vacy of home, with no Victoria cross or congressional medal dangling he- fore it as a possibility, is, after all, berhaps the noblest of all heroism. Here was a great, strong, healthy and wealthy man, fond of outdoor Bports, of travel, of the activity of a busy commercial career one who in his youth was a nan's man rather than a woman's. Fifteen years ago he married, and in a few years there came three children into the house hold. It had been a happy family. He has been a kindly husband as hus bands go, and she a pleasant and dutiful wife. Out of the night came paralysis to her a new life to him. Since that time his career has been entirely altered- His business was quickly arranged so he could be fre quently absent from his office. He was father, mother, nurse, teacner, companion and playmate compressed in one domestic providence. Never had woman more devoted attendant nor more faithful and intelligent nurse. All the little questions of house keeping and of the care and training of children, of their clothing, their pleasures and their pains, fell to him, and in his hands they have been managed with a wisdom and care absolutely wonderful This has been, remember, something of 10 years standing, and it has grown instead of lessening. Outside of his compara tively casual attention to business his horizon is confined to the walls of his home. To make the wife for get her burden of affliction and be a happy woman through it all has been his happiness, and with such a spirit he could not fail. They travel about considerably, this family, and all the details are taken care of by him. No hired nurses or governesses are permitted to usurp any of his duties, although there is one of each there at band as his representative in times of en forced absence. So skillfully is all this done, so modestly is it earned out, that even the chief beneficiary does not realize what is occurring and that is his reward. "They do not build Westminster abbeys nowa days," said a friend of mine once, and I thought of his remark when I heard the story of this man, for the supply of heroes at this time is far below the demand. Pittsburg Dis patch. Taste In Animals. Many experiments have been made in order to find out what and where the oreran of taste is in the lower creations; but it is easier to say where it is not. Crayfish and worms seem to have very decided prefer ences in the matter of food, though no special taste organ has been found. Lobsters like decaying food; the crab is more dainty m its diet. Snails and slugs show a decided preference for certain kinds of food, as garden lovers know to their cost; peas and cabbages, dahlias and sun flowers are great favorites, but they will not touch the white mustard. Some prefer animal food, especially if rather high. Spiders have only a alight sense of taste ; flies soaked in paraffin seem quite palatable to them, though one species, the dia- dema, is somewhat more particular and refuses to touch alcohol in any form whatever. Chambers Journal. Value of th Atmosphere. Careful experiments have shown that the rate per second at which bodies acquire velocity in falling through the air is 33 feet per second at the end of the first second from starting. At the end of the next second it is going at the rate of 64 feet per second, and so on through the whole time of falling. Where the velocity is known the space through which the body has fallen may be ascertained by multiplying the velocity at that period by the number of seconds during which it has been falling and dividing the result by two. This rule applies, however, only to bodies falling through a vacuum. The resistance of our atmosphere materially retards raindrops, hail stones, aerolites and all other bodies which fall through it, and were it not for the resistance it presents every rainstorm would be disastrous to the human race, as each drop would fall with a velocity great enough to pene trate the full length of a full grown man's body. London Nature. Shakespeare's Eyebrow. Miss Sarah W. Gillette of Evans- ton, Ills., rejoices in the possession of what she believes to be Shakespeare's eyebrow. Miss G.'b father, the late Dr. H. C. Gillette, bought the relic from K. G. Oaks of England. In 1851 Oaks was deputed to carve an olive wreath to encircle a bust of Shakespeare. At that time the Duke of Devonshire owned the Kesselstadt death mask of This death mask had been discov ered in a pawnbroker's shop In Kes selstadt and pronounced to be a Shakespearean mask. Oaks was permitted to use the mask in making the laurel wreath. He Bays: "In my examination for the pores in the plaster, to decide wheth er the cast was original or not, I found two hairs of the eyebrow stick ing in the cast. I extracted one en tire; the other broke. These are the fragments that are in possession of the Evans ton lady. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. m ivipuiiiivi ui.

There is nothing that little folks need so much or that helps their physical development so largely as plenty of sleep. Until they are 15 years old they should have at least 10 hours of nature s great restorer. An authority on such matters says that they never should be awakened, but allowed to sleep until of their own accord they are ready to get up. School and household duties how ever, make such a course impracti cable, but if they are put to bed early enough they will' be quite ready to rise without calling at a rea sonable hour. Bedtime can be made pleasant by the telling of a story or a few especially loving ministra tions and caresses that will make this hour a period to be anticipated rather than dreaded. St Louis Re public. " Finding Their Way Home. Who does not know that a cat, or even a naif grown Jatten, taken a long way from home in a bag, nearly always hnds its way back? When living in northern Michigan, I had a cat we tired of. I took her in a boat directly across the lake, about two miles, and turned her loose. Although it was about six miles around the end of the lake, a circuitous course and certainly unknown to her by sight, the next morning she was back at the old place. Another case is that of a cat that was taken by rail fully 20 miles in'southwest Missouri, and the next day he walked in all right at his former home. Cor. Science.
