It w ill add to his responsibility as a citizen, which he w ill be the first to ap preciate. Beinft a freeholder, he w ill become a more important factor in mat ters pertaining to good citizenship. In individual homes and free education lies the hope of our great and beloved conutry. Every good citizen should make it his duty to aid iu elevating the masses. To improve morals and inereaso comforts and eujoymeuts the working men must be brought iu contact with nature aud instilled with a love of the beautiful by a realization of nature’s gifts. Teach them godliness by afford ing them the opportunity of cleanliness and strongly inspire a love of home by generously helping and encouraging the ownership of homes. The Cincinnati Tribune describes u movement now on foot in that city to organize n joint stock company under the laws of the state for the purpose of purchasing suitable buildiug sites and erecting thereon dwelling houses of five and six rooms each. The movement w ill bo for the betterment of the wage earn ers and for the purpose of enabling them to secure homes under an easy in stallment plan, avoiding the loss of i'ore- closuie of the partly paid purchase mou ey. Following is the proposed plan to be adopted: Kent or lease tho houses to sober and industrious tenants with a privilege of purchase, paying a stipulated reutal per mouth and an additional payment of $r> or uioio per month toward the purchase of the house, biiould at any time a ten ant become unable to continue liis reut or purchase money payment allow h im : 1 list.— To apply the purchase money paid up to that time on future rent. Second.— 'lo tiunsfcr his interest to any like tenant taking his place. Third.— To withdraw said amount in casli lesa a 5 per cent discount. Fumth.— In cuso of death or sickness return tho full amount in cash. Deposit till pmchaso money payments in a suv.tigs bank, to remain there until tho tenant has availed himself of one of the above conditions or received his deed for Ins home. Tenants need have no iear of any part of their purchase money iu case of dis ability on their part to pay. On tho con trary it is believed (hat every lease of the company w ill command a premium within two years. The Chinese will this year celebrate New Year’s on Feb. 1st. They still re tain the lunar month; and* each month begins with the day on >\hich the moon changes, which for Peking will be about 4 a. til. of Feb: 2nd. The New Year’s day falls on the new moon that happens between the 21st of January and the 19th of February. As twelve moons lack about 11 days of being a siderial year, the Chinese intercalate moons as we do days. They speak loosely of there being We do all kinds of Laundry Work in the best possible two intercalary moons every five years, manner. An. work leit with us will be promptly at though the exact figures are seven inter tended to. We guarantee all our work. Our prices are calary moons in nineteen years. cheaper than P irtland pi ices.

The moons are numbered“ prime,” i “ second,” etc.; and each moon has it** 271 A L D E R S T R E E T j limits within which it must fall. If it I ends before the limit for the next moon P O R T L A N D , OR. 1 is reached, a secondary moon of the same 4 "A I number is intercalated. Thus in 1895 G. C. Ili BER, Prop. \7\U< the fifth moon ended on June 22nd; it was not yet time for the sixth moon to begin, so we had an “ intercalary fifth.’ T H K O N L Y F ir s t - C l a s s u n d A lunar cycle is approximately nineteen S t r i c t l y T e m p e r a n c e l i c s t a u - years, so that Chinese New Year’s and r u n t in tlx* c i t y . inter alary moons come at approxi mately the same time once every nine teen years. There is a board of astron omy at Peking which settles in advance the calendar for each year. They noi only determine when to intercalate, but a-, a lunar month contains only about 29 5 days, they also determine which | muons shall have 249. and which 30 days.

The citizens of Peru, Ind., are con- »¡uced that the best interests of their •own demand that strangers shall know what a desirublo place it is to live in, as well as offering first class facilities for trade, so they are continually think ing up some new scheme to draw the in habitants of the surrounding country to their hospitable city. A free street fair, keld upon the main business streets of flie city, has proved a great drawing card and has been of great value to the business of Peru. The street fair as seen iu Peru is a l most altogether tho development of local ingenuity. Scarcely a year ago atteution was called to a street attraction which was produced in one of the towns iu an adjacent state. It seemed a good idea, and a committee of citizens was sent to ascertain just what it was. Tho gentle men returned with the idea that Peru could vastly improve on the plan. It was at once decided to have a street fair there. Preparations were begun, and within a month the first great event was inaugurated. Even w ith that short tima for preparation the w eek’s fair proved such an event that it bus been the talk of the state ever since The secret lies principally iu the fact that Pern pos sesses nn exceptionally energetic class of business men, who are always ready and willing to associate themselves closely aud nso their money to advauco tho in terests of tho city in any manner possi ble. In this way Peru has made a repu tation for itself, and whenever an event is advertised to take place thcretho peo ple everywhere show a wonderful con fidence and lend their patronage to a most generous degree. Last year’s fair was a complete suc cess as a novelty, even though the time of preparation was so short, and from (1,000 to 10,000 strangers came to visit it daily. It was something entirely new, devised through the ingenuity uud liberality of the merchants, and not copied uftcr anyth ng under tho sun. The fair of 1804 had not been flu'shed when it was decided to have another tliis year, and most elaborate prepara tions have been going on since. Everything is free. There is no ear fare to pay to distant grounds, no en trance fees to see the attractions, aud there is where the merchants w hofur- uish this free show aro benefited. A crowd treated thus generously cannot fail to ho moved to a degree of generos ity in return, especially to the exteut of making purchases from among I lie tempting offers Of the varied displays. The association officers, with the aid of cveiy individual business man iu the city, have planned an attraction that would be hard to excel. The business men and public spirited citizens gener ally wero first asked for subscriptions to guarantee tho expenses of tho event. A fund of several thousuud dollars was as sured with little trouble, and prepara tions then began in earnest. Numerous committees wero empowered to attend to tho advertising, to interest merchants in muking displays, to securing amuse ments for the crowds, and for the dozens of other necessary things, and the gen tlemen composing them have done their work so w ell that complete success for tho whole is assured. The principal business thoroughfare is filled from end to cud w ith displays. The side streets, too, for several squares are utilized iu the some manner. Th* city conucil has authorized the fair as sociation to suspend travel iu vehicles through these thoroughfares, thus leav ing the entire street from curb to curb open to the people. Tho indiv dual displays of the tner- chauts are made in booths or stands lo cated directly in front of their doois, across the gutter and curbing. Most of them are constructed iu a most substan tial manner, of good lumber and with waterproof roofs. In tho«e tho merchants expose their most attractive goods and vie with each other in displaving in the most attractive manner possible. Home of tho booths aro 20 by 40 feet in size, and it is easy to see that with sneli accom modations tho displaysean be both com plete and striking. Many have udded some form of amusement or free refresh ment to their displays. The county fair part— that is, the horse, rattle, poultry and other departments— is arranged in the center of the streets, either in sheds or tents. The art, do mestic, fancy work and other feminine departments are given quarters in hails or vacant storerooms at convenient places. The races, balloon ascensions, e ta , are all to be seen upon the streets and are all free. The citizens of Pern deserve credit foe the ingenuity and public spiiit displayed and deserve the benefits that are sure te come to a community that works to gether as one man for tbe improvement *f tbeir town.
