nothing for their money. The Gazette,
with one exception, has the largest circula
tion of any paper in Eastern Oregon.
Therefore it ranks hiqh as an advertising
medium.
Buy advertising space because rates are

MORE ABOUT FUNGI.
HOW
THE INVISIBLE 8PORE3 PER
MEATE EVERYTHING.
Thair Power for Harm Ar Fortunately
Restrleted bj Natural Conditions Interesting-
aud Instauetlve Stateiuoata
by an Expert.
The cryptogramite or fungus plttuts
pervade all nature where any living or
ganism can exist. The fungi proper
have not the power, like plants with
green foliage, of elaborating their nutri
ment from the elements, but can only
take food from organic matter either
living, dead or decaying. They are the
general forces of decay, that is, they
attack organic matter soon after lite is
extinct and feed upon and break down
its tissues or substance. Yet our worst
enemies as farmers and fruit growers
are the fungi that; breed on or
in, and feed upon, disrupt and
destroy the structure of living
plants and animals. These fiowerless
parasitic plants far outnumber those
which propagate by flowers and seeds,
and there is hardly an organic structure
on earth, in which the conditions of
warmth and moisture are right, but
what one or more of different species of
fungi are thriving in or on, and carry it
on to decay.
Luckily for us and all other organized
things the conditions must be right for
the fungus to thrive, and that the lines
of these conditions are very narrow in
deed in which it is postsi ble for the fun
gus to propagate. Generally they are
very strictly controlled in their genera
tion and spread by temperature, mois
ture and light. As to warmth, nearly
all of them are confined by a very small
range of temperature; a few degrees of
change to heat or cold at once stops
their activity. While some species
thrive only in the snows of arctic cold,
others at nearly the b ailing point of
water, anO perlmpd usijyj.tey haut. . A
peculiar white filamentous fungus often
spreads quickly and widely through
snow drifts.
The fungi are the scavengers of
nature, quickly breaking down organio
matter, and even decomposing and
breaking down hard mineral matters,
and leaving them in condition for higher
plants to utilize the plant food that had
been stored up in them in an insoluble
form, so combined as to be of no tiBe to
the higher plants. The lichens and
mosses, which are cryptogams, especi
ally the lichens, are constantly at work
on the hard rocks, where they aro ex
posed, crushing them up and wearing
them away with their tiny rootlets into
soil for higher plants to grow from. The
great oaken log on the ground is entirely
eaten up and decomposed into its origi
nal elements as sou by the fungi. If
they are at work on the log, and it be
comes too dry, spores are developed by
the fungi. Then so soon as the moisture
beoomes plentiful enough the spores at
once germinate. The ferment in yeast
is a fungus; it is started in the dough.
When it has thoroughly permeated it,
the dough is dried, leaving the spores of
the yeast plant in it. Then as moisture
and warmth is given, we have active
yeast again.
The spores of many fungi will remain
alive a great length of time, ready to
germinate under favorable conditions.
Spores are everywhere, therefore, where
the conditions are right, we nearly in
stantly have fungus developed, seem
ingly from nothing, as many believe.
Yet the fungus no more springs into ex
istence unless its spores or a portion of
the plant itself is present than the oak
tree does without an acorn, or the wheat
plant without the grain of wheat. Yet
with many of the fungi the smallest
portion of the plant itself will retain its
life powers for a great length of time
under most varied conditions, and take
up again its life powers as soon as the
limited conditions under which it can
grow fere right,
The spores of fungi may lie dormant
for thousands of years for aught we
know, under certain conditions, and be
ready to propagate their kind whenever
the conditions are right. They may
have been wrapped np in the mummy
cases of the most ancient Pharaohs and
still retain to this day their power to
germinate.
Some of these low forms of plant life,
like the lower forms of animal life, have
several different life forms that are
passed in or on different hosts. Thus
the red rust on apple leaves and fruit
has one of its forms in the cedar apples
of the red cedar. One of the wheat
rusts has one of its forms on the bar
berry bush. Such have teen f ? Uy traced
by cryptogamisU.

"Tie muslirooms, toad stools, rusts,
molds, mildews, etc., cut a tremendous
figure in the economies of this earth,
aud the world would be a truly wonder
ful place without them. Timber would
scarcely ever decay, dead animal would
lie around in the way for years, and
fruits would take years instead of days
in ripening. Some of the fungi do great
harm; others much good. Fortunately
those that injure the orchardist can be
nearly all controlled and rendered harm
less by the use of copper salts in solu
tion as sprays. Yet there are a few of
the most injurious for which no shadow
of a remedy or preventive has been
found, nor is there much hope of finding
any, except the one of keeping the tree
in perfect health and vigor. Rank
growth is far from being a true index of
vigor. Or diseases for which no cure
has been found, and no preventive ex-'
cept health and vigor, are pear tree
blights, peach yellows, black knot of
the plum and cherry, red rust of the
blackberry and raspberry, rotten root of
the apple and perhaps a few others.
It is generally considered true that
few, if any, of the fungi attack perfectly
healthy and vigorous tissue, or the struc
ture of any kind of life. They are ap
parently designed to kill off the weak
and diseased. Therefore fruit trees or
any other kind of life in a climate or
location unsuited to their health and
vigor are always liable to be destroyed
A STUDY OF
NOSES.
Noted Phyaloa-
Jome Observations by i
noinlst.
Last year Prof. Annie Oppenheim
went to the military exhibition to study
noses, says a London letter to the New
York Herald, and then made an exam
ination of the old pensioners in Chelsea.
"Every one of them nearly had the
prominent part of the noso at the top,"
she said. "When the nose comes bold
ly out at that part it is the sign of an
aggressive spirit. When it projects
more midway it shows a disposition to
resent attack or defend friends, but
without that spontaneous impulse to
combat which you find in the real fight
er and which is conspicuous in all the
portraits of the. distinguished generals
or soldiers which one sees.
"You can almost tell a person's
character from the noso alone," she re
marked. "All great men have great
noses. The Greek nose, which has no
protuberance, but is straight, argues
great senses of esthetics, of beauty,
but no character and no power of con
tention. "Large nostrils show courage. Peo
ple of fearless disposition breathe fully
and freely. All the fiercer animals
have dilated nostrils. The drooping
nostrils show histrionic talent. If the
nose also droops it denotes a tragic
power, and if only the nostrils the
capacity is marked for the interpreta
tion of comedy.
"Where the nose is thin at the bridge
it shows generosity, while a nose that
is thick at the bridge argues acquisitive
ness. When it is 'tip-tilted like the
petal of a flower' the person is inquis
itive. A projecting nose argues a dis
position to investigate. It is ahead of
the person, as it were, and wants to
scent out things."
I'rof. Oppenheim delivers a lecture
every day at the German exhibition at
Earl's court in London. She has pub
lished one or two works on her pet
science, for, although she has formed
her own deductions, they are all based,
not on intuition or instinct, but on an
atomical principles
A DEVOTED MAID.
he
Resented
Any ltellentlon
on Hsu,
Missus."
People who strive to elevate certain
classes in the social fabric, often find,
to their surprise, that these very per
sons jealously guard the barriers ol
class distinctions. The following illus
tration of that fact is given bv the
author of "Four Years in He' lan
itals." A Richmond lady had a maid who
devoted and constant to her mistress
still burned with curiosity for a sight of
everything pertaining to "Mars' Lin
kum's men," and especially for "de
skulc." For swift indeed had new
comers been to preach the gospel of
Alphabet, and negro schools seemed to
have been brought in by every army
ambulance, so numerous did they spring
up in the captured capital. So, early
one day, Clarissa Sophia donned her
very best, and with shining face, hied
her, like anything but a snail, to school.
Very brief was her absence, her re
turn reticent, but pouting and with un
duly tiptiltcd nose.
It soon came out that the teacher had
begun by impressing the children with
the fact that all present were born
"free and equal," and that each of them
was quite as good as she was.
"Wa' dat yo's sayiu' now?" inter
rupted Clarissa Sophia. "Yo' say Tie
ies' ekal as yo' is?"
"Yes, I said so, and I will prove it tc
you."
"Ho! 'tain't no need," was the re
sponse. "Reck'n I is, sho' nuff. Bui
does yo' say dat I'se good as missus, fs
missus?"
"Certainly you are."
"Den I'se jes' gwine out yere, righi
Off," cried Clarissa Sophia, suiting so
tion to word. "Ef I'se good as mj
missus, I'se goin' ter quit, fcr I jes
know the ent 'soshiatin' wid no sicl

The President of the World's Colum

was born in Detroit,

He was educated at
St. Clair College
and the University
of Miohigan. In the
fall of 1848, with
fare others, he made
a tour of Spain,
afoot, visittiug the
other Doints.
In 1878, after deolining a nomination for
oongress, he was eleoted to the Miohigan
state senate, in a district usually adverse
to his politics, whioh were Republican.
in 18S8 be beoame a United States sen

tired and, and was elected Minister to
Spain. President Palmer bus done very
much to promote the exposition, the

SILVER IN FRANCE.
From The Rocky Mountain News.
A comparison between the treatment
of silver in France and in the United
States since 1873 would prove anything
out oreditable to the government of this
country. While through all the period
koown to history silver and gold have
been nsed as legal tender money nietalB,
witnin tue present oeutury there has
beeu variable monetary action among
tne nations. Thus England Bdopted the
gold standard io 1816, while Getmany
and some other countries used silver only
as legal tender. Franoe and the United
States were distinctly bimetallic nations
and henoe the appropriateness of the
oomparison suggested, tiold and Bilver
were aocorded an equality by the found-
era of our government and constitute the
coinage of our constitution; they held
the same status in Franoe, wilh a slight
difference in the ratio, for seventy years
prior to 1873, the miuta being open in
both countries to either metal in unlim
ited quantities. It may be added that
Franoe was reinforaed iu 18C5 by Italy,
Switzerland and Belgium, when the Latin
union was formed.
When Germany, influenced by the ac-
lion of the United States and by the
financial oombination which, was then
exerting its power to the utmost in Eu
rope aud iu this country, demonetized ber
silver, France deemed it advisable tc liin'
it silver ooinage and later on to stop
ooiuiug the white metal. Her ststus to
ooinage was then the sums as the United
States hud been reduced to, but there the
parallel ends. From that day to this
Franoe has maintained the integrity of
ber enormous supply of silver coin aud
regardless of the divergence in the rela
tive value of the metals, caused by dis
criminating legislation, she has maintain
ed the legal tender character of her sil
ver equally with gold for all domestic
purposes aud for every purpose but the

On the other hand the policy of every
exeoutive of the United Slates since de
monetization has beeu Io degrade silver
and discredit the silyer then and since
coined. It is true that the parity be
tween the Bilver dollar and the gold dol
lar bas been maintained, but not as
Franoe baa upheld it. Silver has
oeen regarded and treated by our
government as oredit mouey, on a
par with paper mouey iu that respect anil
sustained by the sume assurance of the
right of redemption in gold. Every law
hat has been enacted within eighteen
rears having a bearing on the subjeot
has been construed against the monetary
rights of silver aud in fuvor of its money
ending enemies . This has been done
uniu and Bgain in defiance of the oleat
uteut of congress and mure than once in
lisregurd of the plain language of the
law. During all these years successive
administrations have been unmistakably
u Ijject to the money power and have in
that interest beeu aide to frustrate just
financial legislation for the relief of our
working snd producing population.
No political party has ever dared to go

full accord with the Wall street aud Lom

out party pledge in behalf of "honest
money, the gold and silver coinage of the
constitution, and a circulating medium
convertible into such nvmey without

publican party deolared for gold and sil
ver as money, and condemned uir. Cleve
land's administration for its efforts to
disoredit silver. This did not preveut
Mr. Harrison from working as vigorously
against the coinage of the constitution
as bis predecessor had done. He sec
onded his secretary of the treasury in
construing the law of 1890 agniDst its
plain intent to the detriment of silver.
That law provides a method for advano
ing the prioe of silver by increasing the
demaud for its use. The law designed
that the Bilver bullion purobased with
treasury notes should be ouined and used
to redeem the notes. By its express lan
guage it is the right and duty of the gov
ernment to pay those notes io Bilver dol
lars. The option of payiug iu gold or
silver is left with the government and
not with the bolder. The aot makes it
peremptory that the secretary of the
treasury shall have coiued so much of
the bullion bo purchased as may be neoes
sary to redeem the treasury notes therein
provided for. The secretary of the treas
ury refused to oomply with that provis
ion and Mr. Harrison sustained him in
the refusal.
Every obligation of the United Stales
since 1873 bas been payable in silver, but
every eeoretary has violated the law and
given the creditor the option to require
payment in gold. This repudiation of
silver by our government as proper mon
ey ior tne payment or debts is equiva
lent to a declaration to the world that
silvet coin, treasury notes and silver cer
tificates are not good mouey. Should the
report be verified that Secretary Uu'iisle
bas decided to redeem treasury notes
with silver ooin it will be a reversal of
the policy pursued by successive nation
al executives for many years.
' Tbus while biuietallio France hhs un
waveringly vindicated the potential mon
etary quality of her silver ooin since the
financial revolution of 1873, the United
States government has done all iu its
power to degrade aud discredit the while
metal, of which we have in round num
bers r00,000,OOU and to keep it out of
circulation.
