The Law Reads Differently. "The sheriff gets $20 a week for boarding fonr prisoners, and 15 a week for boarding five. That is the law, and it take3 brains to get up such a law." So says the Albany Demo crat, and the Democrat i3 mistaken. The law contemplates that the sheriff shall rcceivo 5 each per week for the board of four prisoners, and S3 for all above that number. Thus, for four prisoners he receives S20, for fivo $23, for sir $2G, etc. That is the way a majority of the sheriffs of Oregon in terpret the law. Perhaps in Linn county they do differently, but in nearly every other county So each is charged for four prisoners, and $3 each for all above that number. It would be a brilliant law indeed that provided more money to bo paid for the board of fonr prisoners than five. Salem Statesman. An Idol of the Frontier. Mrs. General George B.

Special to Tub astobian. "Washington, Oct. 23. Alleged de fects in the the new tariff bill formed an interesting topio of discussion in of ficial circles to-day, and while defects wero not thought to invalidate the bill as a whole, the amendment was almost unanimous that section 30, of tho tobacco paragraph, which was omitted in its entirety, could not be enforced, and where it by construction referred to other paragraphs it might impair their strength as to a law signed by the president not being a law passed by congress. Secretary Halford said tho bill signed by President Harrison was the same bill signed by the speaker of the houso and the president of the senate. Those officers by their signatures certified that the bill had passed their respective branches of congress and their attestation of that fact was the usual mode of procedure and the only official notification the president over received that a bill had passed.

Jeromo Bernheimer said to-day that tho firm was compelled to close out business because of prohibitory tariff raised in the new law against the goods which tho firm imports. The Oldest Switchwoman. For forty long years Mrs. Mary Carroll has been the switchwoman at the Central railroad junction in this city, where several different rail road traoks meet During this time she has always been faithful and effi cient. She ha3 never been the cause of an accident. Her trucks have al ways been right. Her duties have been responsible, but the road has never incurred a dollar of breakage, a mo ment of delay or the in jury of a per son on her account. She is, perhaps, the oldest and only switchwoman in the United States. There are hun dreds of people who will recall seeing her in her little switch-house at the junction, one mile from the town. After so excellent a record and so many years of capital service, in suushino and rain, in cold and heat, the Central road ha3 placed her in a Lless irksome position. She has been made gatekeeper at the shop of the road in this city. Macon TelegrapJi. The Beat Mas la the World. Well.

It condemns, however, the arrest of their country men by tho wholesale and keeping them in charge merely on suspicion.

A Ilabr m an Incubator. A weo bit of a 7 months baby, weighing between 3 and 4 pounds, is at the Cincinnati hospital being raised in an incubator. Tho weo thing has no finger-nails, its eye-lids are open, and every hour a drop or two of digested milk is dropped into its tiny mouth. Chickens have had woolen rugs for mothers, ducks havo been hatched by hens, and alligatora eggs warmed to life in the sand, but incubating baby hood into successful existence has at least the merit of novelty. The incubator looks like an un- painted ice-chest. It is 30 inches high, 20 wide and contains two com partments, an upper and lower. The inside of tho chest is lined with abestos to prevent the effecfe of radiat ing heat as well as to make it air-tight. In tho lower compartment is a galvan ized iron tank filled with water. The tank doe3 not fit tightly in ta tho chest, there being an inch space for the air to circulate. Hole3 in tho bottom al low the escape of fonl air, while on a shelf resting on slats that divide tho two compartments, lay a basket con taining the baby. The skin of the tiny thing is covered with an unctuous sebaceous matter. The bones of the head do not set closely together and tho process of ossification is going slowly onf The tSevr'Silscorepy.
