. SWINDLING A SETTLER.
About the 1st of October a
pioneer in one of the northern
. counties of Wisconsin was seated
on :i log in fiont of his cabin,
waiting for his every-other-day
shake of the ague to come along,
when a covered wagon drove up.
It contained a man and his wife and
a few articles of furniture, and
they were looking for a piece of
land on which to squat. It was
nip and tuck which was the meanest-looking
man. Both were
ragged down in the mouth, and
had chills and fever as regularly
as suniise, and neither one had
made a cent in the last ten years.
It was also a pretty even thing
between the women. One was
cross-eyed and the other had a
broken nose. One was almost
toothless and the other had a stiff
knee. One chewed slippery-elm
and took snuff, and the other
smoked plug tobacco in a clay
pipe.
"Stranger," remarked the set
tler after the four had looked each
other over, "1 haven't any fodder
for yer bosses, nothing to get up a
dinner with, and we get our drink
ing water from a creek half a mile
away. Yer a mean-looking fam'ly,
and I'd advise ye to drive on."
"Stranger," echoed the other,
"I wouldn't have stopped nohow
but to offer ye a trade. My old
woman don't like the woods and
don't want to go further. How'll
ye trade?''
The settler got up and walked
around the wagon and whistled
"Old Dan Tucker" twice over, and
then replied:
"I reckon it's about an even
thing."
"1 es, purty even. "What do you
say, old woman?'
"Wall, I cau't be much wuss off,"
she replied as she jumped down.
The settler's wife was not over
seven minutes packing up, and as
the wagos moved off she called
"Good-bye, old man! Reckon
ire don't owe each other nothing."
In less than a fortnight the set
tler appeared at the county seat
to consult a lawyer, and great was
his indignation as he explained:
"In less'n a week after that 'ere
wagon druvoff that 'ere woman
went stone blind and likewise de
veloped consumption, and yester
day morning she suddenly drapped
off her cheer and died without a
kick."
"She did?"
"And I've got to bury her and
break up and lose ray squat. Now,
then, what I want is to know if
there is any law in this state
which allows a stranger to tote a
dying female around the kentrv
and trade her oven up for an old
woman who could chop a cord and
a half of wood per day and sit up
all night to keep the b'ars from
holdin' a convention in the shanty?"
Free Press.
The flavor of food baked or
boiled in earthenware is said by
those who have made the experi
ment to be far superior to that of
vegetable or animal food cooked
in the same way in iron vessels,
for the reason that iron is a con
ductor of beat, while earthenware
is & non-conductor; consequently,
food cooked in the latter is rarely
ever burned, the degree of heat
not varying preceptibly during
the process of cooking, thus pre
serving the flavor of what is cooked,
as well as uniformity throughout
the substance of the meat, vege
table or grains, until the process
of cooking is completed. So
otrthenware takes the premium,
as it deserves to, and thoso who
have found out how much better
they can do their cooking in these
vowels than in ironware give pots
and kettles the cold-shoulder often.

Poisons and Their Antidotes
The following list contains some
of the more common poisons and
the remedies likely to be at hand
in the househeld:
Acids These cause great heat

chalk and water, charcoal, and the
preparations of iron, particularly
hydrate.

as castor oil and epsom salts es
pecially. Charcoal In poisons by car

Just as It Occurred.
I he seventieth anniversary of
the wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
Joshua Hurd, of Bennington, Vt.,
has just been celebrated in the
house where they began house
keeping. They are ninety-one and
eighty-seven respectively.
The Rev. J. P. Jay, of Memphis,
refused commuuion to an excom
municated member of his church,
and the latter attempted to whip
him. The dominie was equal to
the occasion, and the other is in
the hospital.
At a Methodist camp-meeting at
Graham, N. C, a boy fourteen
years of age, who had been
dumb from his birth, suddenly
sprang to the preacher's platform,
and in a clear voice professed re
ligion and became an exhorter.
An investigation as to the cause
of the failure of a chronometer
clock in Presque Isle, Me., to
keep time, revealed a large cord
of a spider's web attached to the
lower end of the pendulum, thus
shortening the stroke.
A Connellsville, Pa., sportsman
shot a duck on the river and it
was quickly dragged beneath the
surface of the water. George El
lerd trolled about the spot next
day and captured a pike weighing
twenty-one pounds, in whose
stomach was the stolen duck.
On his wedding day, July 10th,
1877, Charles Emerson, of Indian
apolis, engraved the date and
the names of himself and wife on
a silver half dollar and spent it in
Pittsburgh. In a payment to him
last week by his employers ho re
ceived back the marked half-dollar.
A Toronto lady, in her hurry to
start for church, took from the
closet a pair of her husband's
trousers by mistake for her dol
man, threw them across her arm,
and did not discover her mistake
i until she had thrown them over the
back of the pew in front of her.
The United States signal office
gives as the average temperature
of western Oregen: Spring, 52
deg; summer, G7 deg; autumn,
53; winter, 39 deg. Fahrenheit.
The" thermometer seldom rises
above 95 deg. in summer, or falls
below 20 deg. in winter, and act
ive outdoor work can be performed
the year 'round. Statistics show
that during the past twelve years,
the average 3ear in Oregon has
consisted, of 233 rainless, 122
rainy, and 10 snowy days, the last
in December and January: but
snow never falls in large quantities
in the valley, or remains on the
ground any length of time.
Our prohibition friends will soon
begin to suspect something is
wrong, and justly. The Iowa
amendment is said to be invalid
because of the neglect of the
proper forms in carrying it
through the legislature, and now
it is feared that the Oregon amend
ment, which was supposed to have
started on its way to enactment,
really hasn't been started at all,
since it was not entered on the
journals of the legislative assem
bly, as required by the constitu
tion. It begins to look as if eter-!
nal vigilance was the price of pro
hibition. Oregonian.

We can grow corn in all the
Pacific Northwest sufficiently well
to make fodder, and it is proved
by experiment that alfalfa will do
well on all sandy loam of rivers,
and that it will take in well on
the dry hills of "Wasco county.
Perennial millet is -another new
forage plant that is experimented
with and should be tried in western
Oregon as well as east of the Cas
cades. - Thr Willamtftto farmers
should try this Egytian millett and
see how it works here. There is
every reason to believe it will do
well. Willamette Farmer.
