According to the census reports,
cooks are better paid than school
teachers. A man's stomach holds
more than his head.
Those who missed the St. Louis
exposition can have consolation
and their money's worth by taking
in the Portland fair next year.
With Mexico and Chiua both
trying to adopt the gold standard,
there was but little lett for which
the populists could be thankful.
It is thought that St. Louis will
fail to realize the magnitude ot her
worlds fair achievement until the
exact number of millions of deficit
is footed up.
A merchant may know he has
the best values In town, says Rusty
Mike's Diary, but like the prisoner
who knows he is innocent, it wou't
do him much good unless other peo
ple know it.
The man who goes without his
dinner to save money is about like
the man who saves money by not
advertising, And the woman who
doesn't like a bargain is as hard to
find as the darkey who has no use
for watermelons.
Fostoftice roMers seem to Ix: con
fined to uo particular .section, but
bob up about so often here and
everywhere, and up to date a cap
ture is out ol the question. Last
Saturday the safe in the IId River
postoflice was cracked and the
knights of the jimmy got away with
$231 m stamps aud $173 in money.
Of course there is no c lue.
The great fair at St. Louis is a
thing of the past, aud all those tine
buildings are worth less than the
lumber of which they are built.
Four hundred dollars has been of
fered for the (V'ashington state
buildinsr which cost $2.1.000. The
structures will go for what they will
brinz. which will not be much. It
costs money to run a world's fair.
man county, Washington, fifth,
which on its merits was a tie with
Clackamas county, and Spokane
county, Washington, sixth. Had
the exhibit from this county been
on exhibition for the fiit time the
award would undoubtedly have
been different. .
The Ilerlngton, Kan., Sun says
that "the big pumpkin sent to the
world's fair by Litts, of Abilene,
did not win the prize. The blue
ribbon was carried off by a miser
able Colorado product reared on ir.
rigation waters stolen .from Kansas.
Look over this issue of Tub In

The Youth s Companion is one
of the best publication for both old

and would make a splendid Christ

We have made arrangements with

$1.75. This offer is for new sub

The establishment of a poultry
experiment station in California is
indicative of the growing import
ance of the study of fowl diseases.
Tuberculosis that has now come to
be popularly kuown as the white
plague, and which is known to af
fect so many of the domestic ani
mals, claims its quota among towls,
aud particularly chickens. The
disease is spread by traffic in laying
hens, as most authorities maintain
that it is not transmitted through
the eggs.
Clackamas county was awarded
first prize at the Grange fair at
Portland, not because of merit but
as a complement and because every
exhibit had been secured for that
fair alone and were fresh and er
feet. Washington county secured
second prize, but its exhibit had
been on exhibition before and was
not so attractive as it would have
been had it been gathered express
ly tor the Grange fair. Clark
county, Washington, took third
prize, Linn county fourth; Whit-
A newcomer in Kansas asks the
Kl Dorado Republican to tell how
the approach of a cyclone may le
discovered. The editor does not
kuow but he comes pretty near the
real thing when he says: "When
the porch chairs begin to fall over
each other, the bricks from the
chimney tops tumble down on the
roof and the air it full of flying tree
tops; when a plate glass window or
two crashes in and the driving rain
skips over a 12-foot porch, dashes
under the outside door, dances across
the vestibule, rushes under the in
side door and covers the hallway
floor; and the grandfather's- clock
rolls off the landing to the lower
floor, sparks from the telephone, as
big as a bucket, go off like a gun, a
quarter section of shingles tears of
the roof to give the rain and hail a
chance, and the roar on the outside
is so terrific that you have to scream
to make your family hear you, it is
not at all necessary to begin to
be afraid, as the tornado, or what
ever you are pleased to call it, is do
ing business in the next county."
Oregon is something of an egg
producer but Russia is the largest
seller of eggs in the world, bhe
sells nearly every year to other
countries 150,000,000 dozens of
eggs; aud her sales are constantly
on the increase. China is supjxjsed
to lie the largest producer ot eggs
in the world, but that country keeps
no eggs statistics, so it can't be told
exactly, but the pig-tails are great
egg eaters, and with the exception
of a few million she lets the Jap
anese people have, she keeps the
rest for home use, and as there is
over 400,000,000 people mere, 11
takes a good many eggs to go
around. The smallest farm home
found anywhere in the empire is al
ways supplied with a great flock of
hens.
Speaking of woman's rights, our
old friend Dooley says: "What
does a woman want iv rights whin
she has priv'leges? Rights is th'
last thing we'get in this wurruld.
They'rth' next thing to wrong
They're wrongs tur-ned inside out.
We men have th' right to be sued
ft debt instead iv lettin' th' bill
run, which is a piiv'lege. We have
th' right to trial be a jury iv our
peers, a right to pay taxes an' a
i right to wurrk. None iv these
j things is auny good to me. There's
I no fun in thim. All th' r-rights I
tnjye I don't injyc. I injye th'
right to get money, but I nivtr had
anny money to spind. Th' consti
chooshin guarantees meth' right to
life, but I die; to liberty, but if I thry
bein' to free I'm locked up; an' to
th' pursoot iv happiness, but happi
ness has th' right to run whin pur
sood, an' I've never lcen able to
three her yet. I'd give all th'
rights I read about for wan priv'
lege. If I cud go to sleep th' miu
y it I goto bed I wudden't care who
done me votin'." J
