A Remarkable Core of Rheumatism.
Wbstminstrr, Oal., Marotj 21, 1894
omptime ago, on awakening one morn
ing, I found that I bad rheumatism in
my knee so badly that, as I remarked to
my wife, it would be impossible for me
to attend to business that day. Remem
bering that I bad some of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm in my store I sent for a bottle
and rubbed the afflicted parts thoroughly
with it, aooording to direotions, and
within an hour I was completely re
lieved. One applioation bad done the
business. It is the best liniment on the
market, and I sell it under a positive
guarantee. R. T. Harris. For sale by

Speoial fruit report Fruit shinraents
from Walla Walla, The Dalles and Hood
River are the largest ever known j this is
neidered the index of the situntinn.
Flittering1 reports come from manv see
tione concerning the increase of aorenge,
care of the trees, emount and quality of
tbe prodnot and increase of shipments or
the demand. Our correspondent at The
Dalles writes : "All kinds of fruit are in
No. loonditinn; apples are nearly, if
nt quite, free from pndlin mnth and art
arge and nioe for export; fruit pestp
have practically been destroyed through
the agenoy of the spray pump" Peaobes,

Peaoh plums are rippning and e

promises a good crop. Owing to tb
drouth enmptniuts come from some seo
tmns cf fruit failing to mature and fati
ng from the trees. In Malheur oount
the shipments of fruit are lighter thnr
they are in other seotions. It is likely
in this oounty the home demand will
consume moet of the crop. While fruit
peBts are present in all seotions, it is
generally oonceded that they have been
materially reduced and fruit Las not ma
terially Buffered by them. The oherr
orop bas been harvested. In Wane
county the fruit growers are setting out
many strawberry plants; the aoreag
of strawberries will be greatly in
creased.
Wheat, oats and barley are being har
vested with progress, and many fields are
oompleted. Harvest of spring grain will
soon commeooe, but In many sections of
Umatilla, Morrow and in aeoiluus aonti'
of the blue mountains spring grain, if
out at all, will be used for bay. Tbe

first elected solicitor," said Judge
Griggs, of Atlanta, to a Constitution
reporter.
"The demands of my position fre
quently put me in the position of prose
cuting a friend. It was hard, but I
did it.
"An ex-sheriff of a county in my cir

for making away with some money. It
was an ugly charge. The evidence was

straightened himself up and marched
out without a word.

OLD SAM OAN WAYS.
Queer Custom of Tattooiug Among the
Men.
The Samoans are physically a splen
didly made race of a deep bronze color;
their hair is naturally black, but is con
verted by frequent dressings of lime,
which have a bleaching effect, to a dull
reddish tint; this custom obtains both
with the men and the women. Their
arms and chests are specially well de
veloped from their habit of paddling
long distances in their canoes from
island to island; in fact, at so great dis
tances from tile mainland were these
natives seen by early travelers, that this
group was christened the Navigator
islands. At this time, too, travelers re
ported that the Samoans wore fine black
skeins reaching from the waist to a
short distance above the knee. This
report, though without foundation
in fact, was due to the custom pos
sessed by these people of tattooing
themselves after that fashion, covering
about the same part of the body aa
would a pair of our bathing drawers.
All the men are thus tattoeed on ar
riving at maturity, says Westminster
Review, and are not allowed to take
unto themselves wives before the pain
ful process Is complete. Keguiar pro
fessional tattooers are found among
the people, and the tattooing often oc
cupies some months, as the patient

plies also to the words of their rowing
songs, which they sing In perfect har
mony and in time to their oara or pad
dles; the words sung are now obsolete,
and, like the tattooed designs, are not
understood by the pcdple.
A GREAT TIMEPIECE.
A Watch That lias Kun Hlnce 1TS4 and
Is Still a (Inoil Tlmeplera.
Judge Frederick W. Moore, of the
superior court, is the iHisseasor of an
heirloom In the shape of a watch that
no amount of money would buy, says
the St. Louis Republic. And, besides
its value aa an heirloom, it has a hihj
tone Interest.
The timepiece la of the open-face
bull's-eye pattern. Aa with all old
style watches of the pattern men
tioned, the outer ease must be removed
before it can bu wound. The outer
case of this watch is of hammered
gold, and all the work on It was done
by band. While this la apparent from
the workmanship, it la further proved
by the date ou the inside, which is
I'M. There la an Inscription on tho
inside aa follows: "Iiiiniel la- St. Ieu,
.Servant to Her Majesty, Londou." Her
majesty then was the queen of George
II., the then reigning king of England.
The authentic: history of this valu
able timepiece is this: In the years pre
ceding mi William Augustus, duke nf
Cumberland, the second son of George.
II., was the I'oiiiiiiuinler of the British
armies. In the Neotti h campulgtia and
In the cuiiiHiigus against the Prussians
and the Uussiaiis, and when be was at
the bend of the llritisli, lUiioveriun
and Ilaiiisli for.i-s of fifty thousand
men, Ir. r rederlek William S. hwart.e,
