decorated ware, we are now prepared for the trade in all its branches. Buying our goods direct from
the manufacturers, and always paying cash for them, we not only get them at regular trade prices, as
cheap as San Francisco or Portland dealers can buy, but we also get the cash discount; and if any other
dealer thinks he can undersell us. he has only to start in, and we will agree that "the longest pole shall
knock down the persimmons9 We guarantee our patrons that for quality and quantity our prices shall be
than any other house in town. Our sales of Christmas goods have been large, for which we return thanks
to our customers, but we still have a full and varied stock of as unique and beautiful goods as can be
found in town, and as we have said relative to other goods, we will not be undersold.
The expressions of admiration and satisfaction that have been made by those that have examined or
bought from us have been gratifying and assure us that our efforts to please the Astoria public are ap
preciated. We shall continue as in the past to try and merit the generous patronage bestowed upon us.

Men Who Live on Almost Nothing.
mere is no anstemioubiifv i i
the world, and no thrift like
the thrift and abstemiousness
of the avenge native of In
dia. Almost alone among the
working' men of the world, he has
raised himself almost above want,
has stripped himself of all the im
pedimenta of luxury. Millions of
men in India, especially on the
richer soils and in the river deltas,
live, marry and rear apparently
healthy children, upon an income
which, even when the wife works,
is rarely above 50 cents a week,
and frequently sinks to 35 or 4.0
cents. .The Indian is enabled to
do this not so much because of the
cheapness of food for, though it
is cheap, an American who ate the
same food would want five times
the money merely to feed himself
as by a habit of living which
makes him independent of the or
dinary cares of mankind. He goes
nearly without clothes, gives his
children none, and dresses his wife
in a long piece of the most
wretched muslin. Neither he nor
his wife pays tailor or milliner one
shilling during their entire lives,
nor do they ever purchase needles
or thread, which, indeed, it is con
trary to a semi-religious etiquette
ever to use. The poorest peasant
inhabits a hut that contains a sin
gle covered room of the smallest
size, with an earthen platform or
two outside of it; and as he con
structs and repairs his own dwell
ing he virtually pays no rent, ex
cept for the culturable land. He
never touches alcohol or any sub
stitute for it There is an idea
that he eats opium or hemp; but,
as a rule, he swallows neither
firstly, because he regards them
with as much moral antipathy as
any English gentleman, and sec
ondly, because he could not by
any possibility pay for articles
which in India, as everywhere else,
are exceedingly expensive. He
eats absolutely no meat, nor any
animal fat, nor any expensive grain
like good wheat; but lives on mil
let or small rice, a little milk, with
butter from the milk, and the veg
etables he grows. Even of these
he eats more sparingly than the
poorest Tuscan. Perhaps he will

Some Heavy Tunneling.
Nelson Bennett siys that dur
ing the month of November, thir
ty days, 505 feet of the .Stampede
tunnel, on the western division of
the Northern Pacific, were all
constructed under wall plate.
Timbering was done, it being ne
cessitated by the fact that the
rock is what is called "short rock"
that is, rock not self-supporting.
The above figures show the best
tunneling record, surpassing the
work of October, 472 feet, under
the same circumstances. Dy
namite to the amount of 300
pounds and more per day is used
n cutting into the mountain.

Johnson Avenue, Brooklyn, E. D..
N. Y.. says:
During the last eighteen years I
have been using over fifty Allcock's
Plasters a year in my family. I
have found tnem a most perfect ex
ternal remedy. They have repeat
ed! cured me of rheumatism, to
which I am subject every winter.
They have cured me of pains in the
sides and back three times. My wife,
children and mother-in-law tell me
Allcock's Plasters are the best
remed yever made, so agreeable, so
certain. I know they have cured
my wife of pains in the" back and of a
severe cough. My mother-in-law has
been cured of a most severe cold,
whicli threatened to turn into pneu
monia, by Allcock's Plasters.
