Momkey Owes Life to Fine Reproduc tion of American Eagle Snake Feared It. The Death Penalty. A little thing somstimes reen'ts in death. Thus a mere scratch, insignifi cant cuts or puny boils have paid the death penalty. It is wise to have Buck len'e Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the best palve on earth and will prevent fa tality when burns, soren, ulcers and piles threaten. Only 25c at Slocum Drug Co.'b.

Guayaquil, Ecuador, tells a good story about the difficulties he has to keep a monkey on the consulate premises because c: the degradations of the boaconstrietors. The big rep tiles have a laiiln; tor i.cnVr; s and these agile little pets must keep a con Mi:it loo, .out for them. If Jocl-.o drops inu) a doze he is likely to "wake up uead." On the occasion wi'h v V"h the story deals a monkey's ... v.ss saved by tha picture of an American eagle. The consulate sif;n all tin vorld over is a fine reproduction of lo king of birds, in full color, and with out spread vri;.rs. A new skn had jus' keen receivi-d and w;u y.u'.v? on a chair inside l'r room. A bk; boon ; trie tor ciinsed tha house monkey across the yard and through the open w indow. Joe! o was making a good :v.. e, but. c '.az'.z;, one-, l.'o vus in the corner, quaking with fear, and very near to dock's door, when his pursuer confronted the picture of the ea;:le in its menacing attimle. A saake fear;. .'3;il.:3 even :n.t,e than it craves mon keys and that particular reptile turned tail and went, out of .the window as quickly as if the devil was after it. That monkey v as a smart monkey and now whenever it wants to take a nap it goes to roost over the picture of the eagle. A Ore.".t Object Lesson. As a eonqm or ot obstacles the rail way is a great object lesson, says Four Track News. The youth of the country should learn from the railway the les son of enterprise and pluck. If, in its prescribed course, a railway encounters a deep ravine it bridges it; it spans seemingly impassable barriers with a trestle or a bridge and yocs on its way. If it finds a mountain in its path it docs not say: "I can never get over this!" It bores a tunnel through it and comes out on the other side. If it finds cases where trestles and tunnels do not serve its purpose it executes a loop, or inaugu rates a cog road, by which it climbs the heights as if to defy every obstacle. If, in our everyday course, we surmount all obstacles with as great a determina tion as the railroad leaps across can yons, or bores through mountains, the word success would be more in evidence, and the word failure, that is now so over worked, would have a much needed rest Call at the Gaiette office and learn of our clubbing offer with the Weekly Oregonlan. One in New York City That Holds Sixty-Fire Gallons, Five Feet High, The largest blown glass bottle in the United States, or In the world, so far as the makers know, is on exhibition in a window in Barclay street, just above Greenwich. It holds 65 gallons and is ihaped something like a baby's nursing bottle narrow at the bottom, bulging it the midle, with a small neck and mouth. The bottle is a trifle less than fie feet hi.rh, and is about four feet in circumference at its widest part, reports the- New York Times. The man who blew it at the factory in New J:r:.'y is just about as tall as the bo'itle. If he could manage to squeeze through its nick, lie could sleep ery -o:?:fcrtab'y inside of it. If the surface ara of the glass blown into the bot tle wer spun s:k. , it would make s. 1 r wi; U. r a nxder.vtely Jan:e sized wom an. A 1 the u&ii biowine by guesswork,-Uir.pc-n.u with lorg experience, the man C.i (' by only half an ounce his in structions as to the tize of the bottle t.'j p.fl't-ns. Tne mvi read in a western newspa per of a "hKhorto unaccomplished feat," as alleged, oi a blown Lottie holding; 40 gallons. The Bern ay . street makers m i t M:" ; thr.t 'A'-- to tho Philadelphia Cnunn:': I, . tore- ri.an 25 ears a?o. J'U'L tc sl.ov that it was still in the rirg, this (5-i.;a';ka bottle W83 made. The manager ?.aj s that he could blow a hun-dred-pnllor. bottle if he had a place to put it in his window. Pinned to a card at the base of the big bottle is the smallest bottle in the world, its appropriate runnning mate. It holds just four drops, and must be filled with a hypodermic syringe. It is so small that it has to be fastened against a jet-black background in order that persons looking in at the window can. see it. More time was dequired to make, the four-drop bottle than the C5-gallon one. The substitution of machinery for human labor in glass bottle factories is not making much headway. For the finer grades of work machinery is no good at all. Skilled mechanics are at work improving it all the time, and they promise to succeed some day, just as they did with the typesetting ma chines. Meanwhile the efficient glass blower has the call. There is a great deal of boy labor in the factories, which are scattered throughout New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana. Each blower re quires from two to three boys to carry bottle from the molder to the anneal ing oven. In some factories the blow era are required to furnish their own boys. e, $1 pei Yeai Morrow County, Oregon.
