It is a new idea to most persons
that edge-tools not frequently get
"tired" and will not hold a keen edge
until they have a rest. This is the
testimony of carpenters, barbers and
wood-choppers. Locomotive engi
neers notice the same result in their
engines. Possibly constant and hard
usage may cause changes in the crys
tallization that would account for
this peculliarity in inanimate things.

Astobia Or., April 25, 1833.
Editor Asterian:
The time is now at hand when it
might be well to say something about
the maintenance of the horses now
in Rescue's engine house.
They should be maintained out of
the general taxes of the city. They
are a valuable adjunct to the depart
ment, and will greatly increase its
efficiency. Property owners do not
at present receive equal protection
from fire. The two engines are as
they should be iu the heart of the city
where there is most danger. Yet
property such as the Clatsop and West
Shore mills and numerous canneries
representing a great amount of capi
tal while they pay the same rate of
taxation upou their property for the
support of the fire department do not
receive equal protection. Distance
is an element in the efficiency of the
department and the time has come
when this disadvantage should be
overcome by means of horses. Tiie
property on the outskirts of town de
serve this. The city should either
purchase another enginoand re-district
their location or rote the funds
necessary to keep up the present ar
rangement Looking matters square
in the face we must confess that
sooner or later under the old organ
ization of the department there will
be a "big fire on the outskirts nnd
much property destroyed, nil of which
a few minutes of time in the arrival
of an engine might have been pre
vented. Let tho counoil take time by
the forelock. Fireman.

mittees then announced their report,
whioh was unanimously adopted.
Chairman Jewett then addressed the
convention; in the conrse of his re
marks he paid -a glowing tribute to

Reducing the Surplus.
Tho disposition ot the Surplus In the
U. S. Treasury engages the attention of
our Statesmen, but a more vital question
has our attention, and that Is the reduc
tion of the Surplus Consumptives. Since
the discovery and introduction of Dr.
rung's new uiscovery ior uonsnmp
tion, there has been a marked decrease
in the mortality from this dreaded dis
ease, and it is possible to still further re
duce the number of Consumptives.
How? By keeping constantly at hand
a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery,
and using according to directions, upon
the appearance of the first symptoms,
such as a Cough, a Cold, a Sore Throat,
a Chest or Side Pain. Taken thus early
a cure is guaranteed.

A New Phase of an Old Swindle.
The "green goods" raoket that has
been worked for the last twenty years
is giving way to a new system. This
is the way tho swindle is fixed up now.
Any one biting at it is a bigger fool
than Thompson's colt.
The following is private and con
fidential, and is sent by O. C. Baker,
corner 6th Bnd Third avenue, New
York City.
Dear Sir: I obtained your name
by mere accident, and thinking you
were in a position to handle some of
my hardware, I have taken the liberty
to write you, trusting yon will not bo
tray the confidence I place in you. I
have sent some of these articles
through our banks and passed them
on our most expert business men, nnd
I tell yon, there has not been one com
plaint. I am dealing with about eight
people in the south and west, and
they speak highly of the goods, and
the best proof is that one partv in
Colorado has used 814,000 in three
months. I intend to sell to not more
than two or three men in each state.
Our alloy and metal is as fine as gold
has the same weight and ring, and
will stand any test ot the most power
ful acids known to science. My part
ner, 26 years in the different coining
mints of Europe, and was employed
10 years in the California mint, and
was discharged because he would not
give his valuable secrets to the Gov
ernment for a paltry sum, 815,000.
Bear in mind, I ask no money in
advance, not even if you were willing
to send it, I want you to examine
them and convince yourself, and if all
is not as I tell you then, before God I
will pay all your expenses to and from
home, this I promise you on my
oath. These are one hundred times
safer than paper money, and as there
is so much paper money sold in the
country to-day it is dangerous to use
it.
Be guided by me and don't buy any
from anyone offering to sell it to you.
There are but few people in the
United States or Canada handling
my stock, and those whom I take in
my confidence can rest assured
ot certain safety, and make
from S20.000 to 810,000 in six months.
I will promise this on my Bolemn
oath, and time will prove my words
true. I will expect tho retnrn of this
letter. It will prove you mean no
harm. I will reply to no letter un
less it is returned at once.
The government cannot prosecute
any person using them', unless they
can prove they are base coins, which
they cannot do. My terms are as fol fel fol
eows: S500 will buy S12.000. 88G0 will
buy 820,000. 81,200 will buy 833,000.
I will expect my price in green
backs, as I do not care for gold coin,
as I can furnish an article just as fine
and safe as the best gold coin in use,
for, should you bring gold with you,
some of it is liable to be my own man
ufacture, as the case has often hap
pened. A Warqins.
The modes of death's approach are
various, and statistics show conclu
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of tho Throat and Lungs than
any other. It is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system nnd where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by a slight tickling sensation
in tue throat and it allowed to con
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this js dangerous and if allowed to
proceed will in time canse death. At
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you yonr lire. As soon as you
feel that something is wrong with
yonr Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, ob
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrnp. It will give you immediate
relief.
