CHANCES OF LONGEVITY. Primary Conditions Necessary to a Long and Healthy Life. "The primary conditions of longer ity," the Mejdical Kecord quotes Mr. F. W. Warmer a saying-, ' are that the heart, Jungs and digestive organs, as well as the braiiu should be large. If these organs are large the trunk will be long and the limbs comparatively short. The person will appear tall in sittintr and short in standing. The hand will have a long and somewhat heavy palm and short fingers. The brain will be deeply seated, as shown by t he orifice of the ear being low. 1 in blue hazel or brown hazel eye, as show ing an intermission of temperament ia a favorable indication. The nostrils beincr large, oix-u and free indicates large lungs. A pinched and hal I: -closed nostril indicates small or weak lungs. "In the case, of persons who have short-lived parentage on one side and long-lived on the otlieir side the ques tion becomes more involved. Jt is Bhown in grafting by hybridizing that nature makes a supreme effort to pass the period of the shorter longevity and extend the life to the greater longevity. Anyone who understands these weak and dangerous periods of life is fore warned and fornj-med. It has been ob served that the children of long-lived .parents mature much later and are usually backward in their studies." . TRUTH CRUSHED TO EARTH. Sad Effects of Too Mnrh Candor in an Aristocratic Mansion. Two fair young girls sat in a dainty boudoir gazing into each other's eyes, enys the .New York Herald. "Wie are such good friends, Marciu," said one, "and w cum afford to say to ejileh other just what wethink. Now, I have such a splendid scheme. Sup pose wc start out to-day by telling each other the exact truth, without regard to any question of politeness." "How perfectly lovely, Imbed La," cooed the younger girl of the two. "Let's begin right away. What do you think of me?" "I think," said Maircia, "that you are aimont its pretty us you think you are, and when you don't try to be, you are the most charming girl in the world." "How awfully good of you," rejoined the other, "imwI do you know that when you cam) in I was thinking that you looked just like one of those big feat her dusU'i's whl'.di had taken a notion to w alk? Only your feet are so very large that the illusion was not quite perfect." Two disheveled young wonnen, wit!) their fue-es cross lined by scratches, were taken out of that aristocratic jTiainsioii five minutes later and hurried in, an ambulance to the nearest hos pital. THE PLEBEIAN PEANUT. A Valuable Addition to Meat Dressings and Nouns. The peanut, which for so many years luifl been the popular feature of the country fair mid the circiiH, is now creeping Into prominence. Doctors have found 1 hat the peanut is an art icle of food, "ricl in albumen, of which it contains 50 per cent.," and are now recommending them as a valuable addi tion to the diet in the form of soups, purees nnd mush. The following are some, of the wny in which they may be iimvti: Peanuts rolled fine and added to the bread stulling for duckn is a great nihil (ion and greatly improves it. Make a iiuiyoniiuise dressing, mush the pea nuts line, and stir them in thickly and spread between thin slices of breiid a.s a sandwich; or plain buttered bread uitiy be riprhikled lightly with the nuts. They may also bo liurly chopped and eaten w ith milk, A very good soupmny be mnde of peanut by boiling and mushing. The Chinese, boil peimuts, roll them fine, mold them in a dough, and Wlu. Many other way may be discovered by the contriving hou.se wifo for the use of this hitherto de spised article of diet ATE A BAKKtL Uh cGGS A DAY. Shipwrecked Men Subsisted on Them foi Twelve Duyn.

No County Beat Agitation. S. A. D. Gurley, of Arlington, writes to tbe Oregonian, in regard to tbe coun ty seat question, as follows: "Referring to tbe interview with S. G. Hawson, an aoooont of which appeared in your daily issue of tbe 21st., in wbiob Mr. Hawson, is reported to have said that tbe business men of Arlington propose to ask the next legislature to pass bo act enabling Gilliam ooonty citizens to reoonsider tbe question ot oounty seat, and that an attempt would be made to remove tbe oounty seat from Condon to Arlington. I wish to say that as a taxpayer and cit izen of Arlington I most emphatically repudiate tbe assertion. There has not been nor is there now, any attempt on the part ot the oitizens of this place to agitate the oounty seat question, Mr. Hawson does not own any property here nor has he at any time been tbe bolder or owner ot any real estate in Ibe town ot Arlington ; and is now, and bus been or some time, to all intents and purpos es, a resident of Multnomah county, or some oounty other thau Gilliam. Ibe mere fact that this representative district ooutains about 6000 voters illus- rates very forcibly the insignificance of this preoiuot in the election of a repre sentative. I submit that Mr. Hawson does not represent tbe business men of this town when he outlines what he sop- poses to be the plan of campaign with reference to the oounty seat of this ooun ty. Whether or not the statements at- ributed to him were mnde for tbe pur pose of attempting to array other sec- ion of this county against Arlington,! shall leave to the consideration of others without expressing an opinion," He Fooled the Surgeon.

Russian scientists have lately been studying the curious island of Kildine, oil' the coast of Russian Lapland, and separated from it by a narrow strait. This island, says the New York Sun, has a hike that has no visible connec tion wit h the sea, but is affected with tidal movements. To bo sure, the tides in the lake rise and fall only a few inches, while those in the surrounding sen riso and fall several feet. The peri odicity of the lake tides makes it plain that the lake has subterranean commu nication with the sea. The, w ater on the island is of three kinds, fresh water from rains and from brooks at the highest points; u little lower salt water like that of the sea; nt the lowest point sea water, sur charged with free sulphuretted hydro gen. The fresh water is inhabited by the niiinialliftiun.mil in the fresh water of that region. The salt water has sea ereutures, sponges and tho like, while the water surcharged with sulphuretted hydrogen has neither vegetable nor animal life. Tho phenomenon of this sulphuretted hydrogen has its counter part in the depths of the lllaek sea, where the presence of the pas destroys animal and vegetable life. When Alnie.

It was not done with malicious Intent, but de liberately, as a joke. The wound is not re garded as serious. Isaac McCully, an old resident of Marion county, died at the Salem hospital Saturday, ot Bright's disease, after a short illness, at the age of 76. He came to Oregon with an ox-team, in 1857, from Missouri, settling at Marion, where be resided about 40 years.

Two wagons loaded with Mormon immigrants passed through Weston recently. They came direct from Utah, and were going to Walla Walla. There were seven sonbonneted women In one of the rigs, and only one man. who looked a trifle lonesome. However, as it is no longer lawful for Mormons to follow the exam ple of the much-wedded Brigham Young, it Is unlikely that they were all his wives, in which event any sympathy bestowed upon him wa wasted.

Advice under the above heading in the Ore gon Scout of Sept., 2!th attracted my attention, and as the subject is a very important one, per haps you will give space to something more scientific and practical. If the reader will mark out a circle on paper, 4 to 6 inches in diameter, divide It Into 12 equal parts by crosslines, then commencing at the top and going around to the left mark out each di vision as follows: Aries March 17 to April 19. Taurus April 19 to May 20. Gemini May 20 to June 21. Cancer June 21 to July 22. Leo July 22 to August 23. Virgo August 23 to September 16. Libra September 26 to October 17. Scorpio October 17 to November 22. Sagittarius November 22 to December 21. Capricorn December 21 to to January 16. Aquarius January 16 to February 15. Pisces February 15 to March 17. You will now have a zodical circle. Those born between the dates of the first three signs, Aries, etc., belong to the mental or intellectual class; the second three signs, or quarter, the maternal class; he third quarter the reproduc tive class, and the last quarter, or three signs, the serving class, usually mercantile line. It will now be easy for you to see what sign you were born in, and your first choice for a huBband should be one born directly opposite For example, if you were born In the sign of Aries, between March 17 and April 19, your hus band should be one born when the earth was directly opposite in the sign of Libra, viz: be tween Sept. 16 and Oct 17, and soon with any one of the signs. While opposites are usually the best adapted to each other as life partners, sometimes those born ninety degrees apart do quite well. - Each division is thirty degrees, so ninety degrees from Aries would be Cancer, the head of the maternal quarter or class, or, In the opposite direcfion, Capricorn, the head of the serving or business class. Either of the these three would do well with Aries, while as a rule no others would live together happily. Some natures will mix no better than water and oil, hence so many unhappy marriages and separa tions. The first paragraph in the advice mentioned Is, "A man doesn't want to be asked Mb reasons for anything he does," Marriage is a partner ship. How long would1 partners in any busi ness work together in harmony If they refused to give reason for their transactions? To the 2d and 3d paragraphs I would say, con sider these things beforehand and if you cannot adapt yourself to the conditions, don't marry. To the 4th paragraph, while the duties oi each Bhould be their first consideration, as partners they have equal rights, and if your husband prospective is not Inclined to grant you "equal rights with him, don't marry him. Marriage should be a civil contract between the parties and considered as thoughtfully and carefully as any other important business transaction, more so, in fact, if you would avoid future trouble. The ceremony of the Rev or J. P. simply legal izes the contract without In anyway affecting the morality of the act. The earth on which we live is only one planet in our solar system, and It, with everything pertaining to It, is affected by the other planets of our system; therefore the position of the earth, moon and other planets at the time of birth endow the person with certain character istics which we are able to delineate when furnished with the date of birth. Send me the date of your birth, and that of your intended husband, and 11.00, and I will give you a full delineation of his character; then If you make a mistake In marriage It will be your own fault.
