Sore Eyes
The eyes arc always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of it3 condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced a painful in
flammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for a number of years. By the
advice of a physician I commenced taking
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine a short time I was completely
Cured
My eyes aro now in a splendid condi
tion, and I am as well and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. H.
For a number of years I was troubled
with a humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until I commenced
using Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medi
cine has effected a complete cure, and I
believe it to be the best of blood puri
fiers. C. E. Upton, Nashua, N. H.
From childhood, and until with a few
months, I have been afflicted with"Weak
and Sore Eyes. I have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and consider it a
great blood purifier. 3Irs. C. Phillips,
Glover, Vt.
I suffered for a year with inflamma
tion in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the bjiill, depriving me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, I was final
ly induced to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
By Taking
three bottles of this medicine I have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re
stored, and there i3 no feign of inflamma
tion, sore, or ulcer in my eye. Kendal
T. Bowcn, Sugar Tree llidge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was afflict
ed with Scrofulous Soro Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light of
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
nprmnnent. success. On tho recommen
dation ot a friend I purchased a bottle of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
thn third bottle her stent was restored.
Her cure is complete. XT. Ev Suther

Dramming of The Euffled Grouse.
A few years ago while looking
after a miner's ditch in the solitude
of the mountain forests on the
UDDer Clear "Water river, I hap
pened to get hold of a work on
natural history; and -as the ruffled
grouse were very plentiful, their
habits, as set forth by trie autnor,
attracted my attention.
It was in the spring of the year,
and they were drumming contin
ually on all sides of me. I could
not believe the vibration that set
the still air in a tremble about my
ears was made by the tapping of
the wings upon logs, or upon any
thing more solid than a drum head.
My curiosity was aroused, and as
the opportunity was at hand I de
termined to settle the question as
to how the drumming was done.
Every day an old cock clucked at
me as he jumped from an old log
and started behind the thick little
firs, with his ruffled neck nodding
as he stepped proudly away.
That log was his drumming place,
and 1 soon found the exact section
he occupied. No longer would I
let that bird puzzle me. I seleeted
a place with perfect cover as a
blind, and with my ax trimmed
out the brush so that I could have
an unobstructed view of his resort.
The next morning, armed with a
Berdan rifle telescope, I was in
my blind, with the glass arranged
on rests, when the shy bird came
noiselessly to his sacred bower to
sing his matin song. He stood
still and upright for a long time,
as if intently listening. He puffed
up his neck as large as his body,
he raised the black tuft of featheis
on his neck, showing a wind bag
tight as a drum head; then lie
thumped the sac as if to test the
tension of the drum, and then:
thump thump thump thump
thump thump, faster and faster,
till his wings were a blue blur to
look upon, and the sound was a
rumble like the hum of a bee on a
large scale. In the interim he
would smooth his feathers and
listen for an answer from some
charmed female; or the challenge
of an enemy. I watched him until
I was positive as to how the noise
was made. It is made by beating
in the inflated neck of the bird, by
the butts of the wings, as a boy
would beat upon a drum; both
ends at once. I then killed the
bird, examined the wind bag, and
blew it up like a bladder.
My glass was 30 inches long,
and so powerful that I could see a
45 caliber bullet hole in white
paper at a distance of 1300 yards.
Yot can form an idea how distinct
ly I could see every motion of the
grouse. I could see him wink.
Every member of the grouse
family makes his call or hoot or
whatever it is, by inflating the
neck. The ruffled grouse is no
exception. Portland Welcome.
"There Is no Cure but Marriage"!
How many a pompous old fraud, with
an M. D, attached to his name, has of
fered this time-dishonored prescription
to a pale hasgaid girl, suffering from
the ills of womanhood? How many a
wretched hell on earth has thus been
started ! for no marriage can be blessed
either to husband or wife, which is
taken as a pill. Out upon Mich
quackery There U a cure for suf
fering women a cure which will make
marriage the greatest of earthly bless
ings, and home the sweetest of Edens.
Its name is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. Just try it, and sec the black
clouds of life roll away before the glow
ing sunshine of returning health and
vigor. It is the only medicine for wo
men, sold by druggists, under a positive
guarantee from the inanufacterers, that
it will give satisfaction in every case or

Cost of Living In Oregon.
. We produce the following, as
published by the state board of
immigration.
"What is the' expense of living
compared with that in the East?"
Answering in a general way, the
necessary living expenses in cities
and towns, including servant -hire,
are about ten per cent, greater
than in the east. Of ..course th'fe
productions of Oregon which are
consumed at home are as cheap as
elsewhere. Hotel rates in the
towns of the interior average SI
per day for transient customers.
Board and lodging by the week;
about $5 at the hotels; about
at private houses. House rents in
small towns are very reasonable.
Good five room houses with ample
yard attached can be had for from
S5 to $12 per month. Farm
hands command about 25 per
month, by" the years hire; harvest
bands, 1,75 to S2.50 per day;
house servants about 20 per
month. For mechanics, carpen
ters and shop hands, tho average
is probably 3 per day; masons
$5. Milchcows are worth about
$30 each; horses average $200 per
span.
As to the yield of Oregon pro
ductions, we take the report of
the government, actual figures
furnished by the growers and the
estimates made by the farmcts
generally. Out of a dozen farm
ers interviewed, two had less than
24 bushelb of wheat to the acre.
It is a common thing to have 3S
and 40 and even 50 bushels of
wheat to the acre. The govern
ment makes the aver.ige nearly
23; oats, 45 to S5 liusheU to the
acre. It is not an uncommon
thing to have a yield of 75 to 100
bushels of oats to the acre in east
ern Oregon. Oats from 5 to 8
feet high are frequent in this see
tioa of the state. A good deal of
this grain weiojis 50 pounds to.thi,
bushel.
Wheat raised in this state
weighs G4 pounds to the bushel;
barley yields on the average 2G to
3S bushels to the acre; rye, 20 to
30 bushels. Potatoes about 25
bushels and often from 200 to 350
bushels to the acre. The growth
of such things as squashes, pump
kins, turnips, sweet potatoes and
tho like, is simply astonishing.

A Prisoner's Little Joke.
"I hdtd a funny experience once,"
said a young farmer. "When I
was a boy I confess, I was pretty
green. I lived with my father
upon a farm near Columbus, and
used to haul wood into tho city
and sell it for him. One day I had
ented'town. with my customary
load, oivhen-asT$fcj.passed a large
building sV5nX3q3Rjaoked his head
partly out of "tf wihw and asked
if the wood was tofisale. I re
plied in the affirmative: "Well
throw it over this fence," came
back from tho upper window.
The house was surrounded by a
high wall, but I managed to pitch
it over and then went around to
the front gate for my pay. I could
not get in; 1 hammered and called
in vain, when some passer by, at
tracted by my frantic efforts to
gain an entrance, inquired what
was the matter and informed me
the building was the jail. One of
the prisoners had played a joke on
me. I could not get my money
or the wood back and returned
home with empty wagon and
pocket."
After the Whitman massacre in
1847, a volunteer soldier, James
Bollew, picked up a hunch of Mrs.
Whitman's lta.tr and frave it to
Mrs. America Grant of Dali.i.-!. Af
ter keeping it for thirty-nine years
she sent it last fall as a memorable

college, Walla Walla.
At a holiness meeting near
Chicago the other day a man rose
in his seat, crying that it had been
revealed to him that a woman in
the audience was Christ incarnate
tnd that the whole assemblage
should fall down and worship her.

Pope this 3'car were a rowboat, a
boot-blacking-- m.ichino and -a
