m g&e glaiXtj QslxxXim, ATORIA. OREGON : B. C. IRELAND EtUU SATURDAY May 10, 1K79. Aruo Economy. The question is nt how cheaply we can manage to keep soul and bocty to gether, but how we can bring both body and soul to the highest condition of vitality and power. To live is something more than to exist. The questions are: How can e feed intellect and affection, con science, sympathy, imagination, rev erence, as well as the physical sj'stem? AH pinching and restricting of diet is injurious in the lonjj run. The bean man, the bran-bread man, the one meal a day man, the man who goes mousing around the world intent only on cheapness, never makes tin ! scale of power kick the beam. He wastes more than he saves. He checks an income instead of stopping an out go. The men who make the most ado over the petty prudences of life, and perpetually obtrude their parsimoni ousness upon public notice never amounts to anytime of account. Man wants all he cat? use, assimilate, or ganize, reproduce. The things that strengthen and! beautify his essential manhood, that enrich his sentiments and refine his sensibilities, that enno ble intellect and enlarge the scope of his being and the horizon of his possi bilities, belong to him of right, as the cron and purple belong to royalty. Every man ought to aspire and labor to live generously, and have a comfortable home, and surround him self and his family with everything that t2nds to increase his health and happin 3s and create an atmosphere of intelligence and refinement. Beauty, elegance, art, society and music are our birthrights. It is not a waste to spend what one has for things that foster a noble pride, heighten self-respect, beautify the body and cultivate the mind. It is true economy that spends something for fouoks and pic tures, for occasional glimpses of nature and innocent entertainments. A Satk in the Dead Sea A Correspondent of the "Wash ington Star, who has had a bath in the Dead Sea, describes his experi ence as follews: The water, which is quite clear, and nearly the color of the Niagara river below the falls, seemed to me a little more bitter and salt than that of Salt Lake, although brijrhtor and more attractive to the eye when seen close at hand. Its supporting power struck me as a little greater, also, than that of Salt Lake, as the body floated more asily and the difficulty of swim ming was greater on account of the inability to keep one's feet under water. So large a quantity of salt is held in solulion that the water has what is called, I believe, a "ropy" appearance, much like that of a plate of well-made tapioca soup. J olserved, however, that when we came out of the water there was not so large a deposit of salt crtals on the body as after a bath in Salt Lake, and the feeling of the skin, instead of being dry and prickly, as I expected, was rather oily and sticky . Our din ner that night was seasoned with salt made from Dead Sea water by solar evaporation. It was a little light er in color than the best article of brown suo-ar. Its crvstals wrere large and hard, and though foreign Substances were evidently present, in considerable quantity, it was not unpleasant to the taste. 1 was told that two quarts of water will produce one quart of salt, but this is probably an exaggeration. To complete the statistics of this remarkable body of water, I may add that what many of my readers many already know, that there is no living thing of any kind in it; that even the drift-wood brought t'o.vn by the floods in the Jordan is speedily cast upon its shores; that its length is about 45 and its greatest width about 10 miles; that it is over 1300 feet deep at the deepest place, and that the im mense quantity of fresh water poured into it daily is undoubtedly ta'cen up br evaporation, as its great depth below the basin of the Mediterancan must preclude the idea of a subterranean outlet. Early Risins a Bad Habit. Xac York Tribune. A German physician has dem onstrated that early rising is a veny bad habit. He has fcik-en the trouble to collect information as to the habits in this respect of several persons who have lived to-on ad vanced age, and he finds that in the majority of the cases thfc long livers have indulged in late hours. At least eight out of ten persons who attained the age of eighty years and upward were in the habit of not retiring until the earl v hours in the morning,- and remain ing in bed until the day was far advanced. On the other hand, he has failed to discover, after care ful observation of the health of several early risers, that it was in any degree better than that of a similar number of late risers. lie thinks that so faT from any decided benefit being gained by getting up early in the morning, it rather tends to exhaust physical power and to shorten life. I think 'twas in Stptemoer, if I rightly now remember, that I heard a knocking at my door; yes. I know it, 'twas in September, for quite well I noA' remember he had beefl- there about fiity times before ; had been knocking at my door. But I opened not, nor wondered, as upon the door he thundered, for he yelled, "Say now will 3Tou settle this 'ere bill I bring yu," as he bat3eted on the door, and I answered, cahiJy answered "Nevermore."
