No De lay iu Keeping Braiu and Nerves Well Fed. It Is a fearful trade tills teaching school. 'A horde of restless, growing boys and girls no wonder every day slowly brings down the strength and nervous power of the hard working school teach er. "Tired as a school teadier" would ex press, the ul'ter languor and collapse that so few eaclape before the long "weeks are over. , ' Of all the work open to girls and women, sohool teaching seems to wear hardest on brain and nerves. Each day Is not able to make up for the tremendous expenditure of the day be fore, and bo there comes the usual re sult of nerves hard worked but badly nourished; the frequent sick headaches, lo?s of strength, no color In Hps or cheeks, low spirits, nervousness, and a distaste for work. What is nee-dful 4s at once pJaln to every physician's eye. He says at a glance: "tfour nerves want more food." . Get some red corpuscles into your thin bloodthe red corpuscles mean health. Pdline's celery compound will cause fredh, ruddy blood d circulate through the veins, and will give an Impetus to the weakened digestion. Thin people with depleted or Impure blood, who are easily attacked by lung disease and chronic ailments, get strength and an Increase of solid, healthy flesh- from Paine's celery compound. It gives vi?' or to weak mothers, and makes growing children robust and hearty. Nervous women, not actually sick, but never re ally well, who -aTe a burden to them selves as well as others, find Just the help their system craves to restore them to sound health and a happy frame of mil nd. i Healthy color, animation, clear eyes and a well filled out frame, the Blgtns of health that never fall, come from the reasonable use of Paine's celery compound. It Is peculiarly adapted to correcting the depressing effect on the eytitem of long hours of hard, trying work In the school room, behind the store counl'.er, in itihe ofllce, and wher ever there Is a oonatant etraln on the nervous and physical system. AROUND COUNTY OFFICES. The Offlrtals Are Cleaning Up, Prepar ing for Busier Times. There is not much going on around the county offices just now, aside from Ithe .regular routine df work. Judge Gray spends most of hjs time In his comfortable office facing the Street, and ereterSailns anyone who might happen In his pant of the building. He is tak ing a greait deal of Interest In the road question, and has recenltly been looking iip various authorities on the subject. County Clerk Dunbar has returned from up the river, and Is again set tled at his work. While away the? d -p. uties were able to handle all the busi ness that came along, 1 such, for In t lance, as converting foreigners into full-fledsred citizens, and issuing those Innocent little papers thait never fall to make two loving hearts happy. While Itih'Ia department is not overcome with official 'business, the clerk and Ms dep uties have little time for looking out of the windows. . In the ehertfTs office business is not as brisk Just now as Mr. Hare expects ' ito see It 'this itime next week, when court opens, frut he and his deputy are not ttdle. They are Itaklng advan tage of the lull in business and getting thwir papers straightened out so tha when a rush strikes them ithey will (have oil documents at their fingers' ends. County Recorder Gunderson seems al ways busy. His books are up to date,' and a sudden spurt in business would not eaJtdh him asleep. His office Is orowdrf from early morn till late In the day with people who are anxious to pour over the records, and It keeps him on the move to answer all the questions that are asked. The Astorlen's Elk Creek correspond ent writes that t would be utterly Im passible to conceive, unless one was an eye-witneyn, tire grandeur of the great storm of Sunday last. The giant rocks along the beach cowered under the aw ful frenzy of the monster seas that swept In from the southwest, and the noise of the waves as they lashed them selves against the rocks, sounded like the repeated booming of great cannons. For hours It was Impossible to even walk along the beach, so high was the anirf, and the n&us of drift that bad airewn the beach from one end to the other, was washed h'gh up on the sand dunes. "On co." sald4he correspondent, "I was Branding on the summit of a joint about half way down the beach, ar.d for three nailes north, could see thousands of logs, 6ome of them being fully 150 feet In length, picked up by a great roll of the surf, and carried far out into the boiling waters, as easily as If they were so many straws. The next Incoming sweU carried them far up onto the beach, where they now re main. It was the greatest storm ever w4'-nuued on this beach. I was up to the pi ice owned by Mr. Anderson, of Portland, yesterday. He is having erect ed a fine log house 20x36 feet, end it will really be the finest aumnror house on One Ibttieh when completed. We need more men like Mr. Anderson down here. They are a credit to any locality. Th? combination ocean freight and passenger steamers will not become a thing of the past. entirely, but the time is near when the distinctive ocean pas senger steamer will be ommon enough. It Is but natural that with steady and enormous Increase In trunsrwbatlon the ocean traffic should take on some of the features of Hall road work, and freight and passenger bueCness be carried on in dlffjrent vessels. Upon very long voyages this may not be done for years to come, if ft really ever is, owing to the comparativ e lack of trad e Ihat would permit of the expense. Bat in .he North Atlantic trade and in other directions One change Is certain. The movement Is eiean In the Increase and Improvement of the purely freight steamer, and In the decreasing space set aside for cargo in ithe latest o f the first -class passenger boats. The next move will be an- al lotraenlt of room for express matter only, and the passenger boat will then be what her name implies. Whether the purely passenger boat will be dl Vlded Into two classes, one with extra acoomtmoilitlona tat high rates, extra speed, and answering In a measure to a Pullman car, and the other of slower speed, good acoommodlaltlons and rea sonable fare is a matter of opinion yet but 4f the travel across the Atlantic keeps up 4ts steady increase, then fur bher discussion of traffic may be ex peated. New York Maritime Register. The Japanese apply one of their many "pretty ways" to ithe launching of ships. They use no wine. They hang over the ship's bow a large paste board cage full of birds, fend the mo ment the ship is afloat a rrtan pulls i string and the cage opens and the birds fly' away, making the air alive with music and the whirr of wings.
