DeFreycinet that the statements and policy of France were pacific and that French declarations were un necessary from a political point of view'; they were equally bo in. the fi nancial world.

Important to Ladio. Read what Jeannie Winston, Port laud's favorite prima donna, says of Wisdom's Rebartine: Portland, Dec. 22, 1886. To Mr. W. M. Wisdem: The "Robertine" you so kindly sent me io excellent. It is the finest prepara tion I have ever used, and is a de cided acquisition to a lady'n toilet. Yours truly, Jeannie Winston. The above is published in order to settle nil doubts- and disputes as to tho existence of such au endorse ment, and as evidence of the high esteem in which Wisdom's Rober tineis held. This preparation has been before the public but a short time, yet the sale has been extraor dinary. Wisdom's Robertiue is for eale by all the leading drnggists. Henry F.

Struck It Rich in S.aa Dlejjo. San Francisco, Feb". 41-Many mar-, velous stories are told hero of the rapid acquisition of wealth at San Diego by laud speculators. Among the strangest is one which concerns a former newspaper man of Portland. His Aladdin like rise in the world, told by a recent arrival from San Dieeo, is as follews: "A year ago last July I came down from Oregon on the steamer Oregon. Aboard of her was a man named Dalton. He had been a newspaper employe in Portland, but was leaving town, try ing to gee something better. Well, when we got to Astoria we found some creditors had telegraphed to have his baggage and himself stopped, on account of some bills which he could not pay. Of course, Dalton was 'in a box,' but he rnshed around during the brief interval the steamer stopped tbeie, and raised a few dol lars, and compromised the matter, and went on. After the Oregon passed in from Golden Gate, an I when she was nearing the wharf, Daltou went to a friend and borrowed S3, so as to get himself aud bagg igo up town. He didn't have a cent.

The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the con- 8umers. as well as relieving tho bur- aen oi nomemanuiaciurers. especial Itr 10 fhia iYa n)ico with f-Jrc'ni ly is this the case with Green's August Flower and Boschee"s Ger man Syrup, as the reduotion of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bot tles containing these remedies, there by giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cent size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of in creased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized countries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the same size, Role for Heanrin; Straight Logs. The Southern Lumberman says an experienced log and lumber inspector gives tua ionowing snore ana easily remembered rule ior ascertaining the contents of a log by Doyle s rule when a copy of Scribner's book is not uvailable: Square the diameter of the log after subtracting 4 inches from it, and the result will be the ex act contents in inch boards of a log 16 fpet long.
