and a change to Potash is made. When the stomach rebels you are put on Mercury
again, and so on ad infinitum, or until the system becomes so thoroughly saturated
with these poisonous drugs that the most disgusting sores break out on the body,
the bones become diseased, and the muscles and joints are racked with the most
torturing pains. Mercury and Potash drive the eruptions and blotches from the
skin, but toe virus remains in the blood and the reappearance of the old symptoms
and the occasional sore mouth show that the poison is still active, and you can

YOUR HOME AND FENCES.
No Maa Can Conveniently Go Without Either
I These Necessities.
You may as well talk about going
without eating aa going without
fences. If you have a house and
home you must have a fence around
it. If you have a farm you must
mark its boundaries bv fences, and
also shut in the stock with fences.
A fence is in many ways as import
ant as a man's house. As a commun
ity grows the subject of fences assumes
more and more prominence.
The success of the "Anchor" fence
in the United States has been phe
nomenal for the chief reason that it
combines economy, strength and
beauty in a way that instantly ap
peals to everybody. In the Eastern
states , where it has been known lon
ger, the factories making it are
pressed to full capacity. In this
state, where it is comparatively new,
its widespread adoption seems to be
only a question of the agents getting
around and showing iheir wares to
the people.
There is ample reason for all the
talk going on about the "anchor"
fence, as it is solving the great fence
problem satisfactorily. It is not only
well adapted to ornamental work,
but it is the biggest kind of a blessing
to stock raisers and ranchmen gener
ally. It is made of heavy wire and
the joints are held rivet-tight by the
patent "anchor" clamps. It does
not cost as much as the old-fashioned
fences, yet it lasts practically forever;
It is worth anyone's while to write
to the manufacturers, The Portland
Anchor Fence Co., 742, Nicolai Street,
Portland, Oregon, for catalogue and
pictures explaining their wonderful
fence.

SOLDIER WRITES OF THEIR LIFE
AND OCCUPATIONS.
They Are Iadastrtoae, Worktag Hard
for .Little Par-Lack Teale for Cat
tlvatla the La ad -Police or the City
a ad Their Characteristic.
The subjoined extracts from a pri
vate letter from George L. DeForest of
this city, w bo Is a member of Company
B la the Ninth Regiment, will bo read
with Interest:
"So you would like to peek in this
sacred city and see what my surround
logs are? I think In one of my former
letters I gave a short description of the
city of I'ektn, and perhaps a little gos
sip In regard to the people who Inhabit
It may be acceptable. In the first place,
the rch Chinks wear costly silks,
while the poor ones are glad to wear
cotton. Numerically In this city the
proportion of rich to poor i about one
in a thousand, so you can see that cot
ton is king so far as the poor are con
cerned, and 1 am told that, although
the soli la very productive, there Is
hardly enough cotton raised to supply
the demand. This Is due. In great
measure, to the lack of tools lu culti
vating it and poorer machinery for cur
ing when harvested, as everything here
Is done by hand.
"The Chinese are the most Industri
ous people I ever saw, especially the
women. These latter are never Idle.
They are great gossips, but do not neg
lect their work on that account, aud It
Is a common thing to see them chat
ting In the narrow alleyways between
their houses, but always at work.
either turning their reels or stitching
shoe soles, which Hud a ready sale, for
a Chinaman who went barefoot would
be uterly disgraced. Why, even the
beggars here wear shoes, although the
rest of their apparel may be ever so
scauty.
'Another thing worthy of mention is
the fact that nothing la wasted In this
land of the Chiuks.' Grass and all
kinds of roots are pulled up, washed
aud dried, and used for fuel. Scraps of
paper and cloth are pasted together to
make the Insoles of shoes, and bits of
wood are glued together to build up
either a post or a board. The woman
spinners and straw platers earn 2 cents
a day. This may seem small pay, but
not so when I tell you tbat 1 am In
formed that $5 a year will clothe a
Chinaman and his wife. Such a thing
as underwear Is not known by them,
neither Is a garment ever fitted, and a
Utk-a dressmaker would starve to
death here. The only measures that
are taken are from the hip to the
ground. Fashions never change. Take
two or three yards of material, sew It
together, run a tape through tbe top
and haul It together, and you have the
dress made.
The 'Chinks' are very economical,
and I guess you will think tbat they
have need to be when I tell you tbat
the unskilled laborers are only paid
upon an average of 7 cents a day. Ma
sons, carpenters and stonemasons are
the king-pins here In labor circles, re
ceiving tbe munificent sum of 25 to 30
cents a day. The work day here be
gins at sunrise and lasts until dark,
but notwithstanding all this the labor
ers seem contented aud happy.
"So much In regard to tbe people, and
now perhaps a few words In regard to
the officials of the city, particularly the
policemen, may interest you. In the
first place, a Chinese policeman Is a
wonderful creation; In fact, a cross be
tween f circus clown and a football
player. His breeches are always baggy
and heavily wadded; In fact, so clumsy
that you wonder how In the world be
ever gets around In them. He also
wears a coat which Is thick and clumsy
and comes well below the knee. Dark
blue is the general color, which is set
off with facings and bands of light
blue, red, green, maroon and brown,
but no yellow Is ever used, for that Is
the sacred royal color, and no one but
those of high rank are allowed to wear
It. Policemen are thicker than huck
leberries In this city of Pekin, there
being, it Is said, between 15,000 and
20,000 of them within the walled city.
"This walled city Is two miles square
and has two great gates in each wall
base, about half a mile from the cor
ners, and a mile from each other. The
streets are broad and stretch straight
from one to the other, making the
space inside Into a big nine-block. The
police stations are scattered all along
the nine squares. The head of the
police has charge of all tbe city gates,
they being nine In number. The po
licemen never carry any arms, not
even a stick, but keep swords, spears,
guns and cutlasses in racks at the sta
tion, and when a .signal gun Is fired
make a rnsb for the station from
which the sound comes and grab the
first weapon In sight When on parade
or when they have a review, which Is
quite often, Is the only time they are
armed, especially If they expect any
foreign devils to be present The
weapons are funny looking, particular
ly a savage looking three-hooked spear,
which makes a terrible, Jagged wound.
"Besides the 20,000 policemen within
the wall, I am Informed tbat Pekin
maintains 144,000 more to regulate
matters In the outer city. All these
men are under tbe command of one
head officer. The officers and the men
furnish their own uniforms, but the
state furnishes their arms, and each
gets a monthly allowance of rice in
addition to his pay. The chief gets a
good salary, but those under him get
little pay, depending mostly for what
they can squeeze out of the prisoners
whom they pull In." Utlca Press.

CHEAP TRAVEL IN DENMARK.
Price of Ticketa la Governed by the
Tins Coaanased oa Joaraeye.
Denmark was absolutely the pioneer
In cheap railway fares. The fares were
reduced all around, so that the longer
the distance the greater tbe reduction.
but at the same time the return ticket
system was abolished for Jourueys
within Denmark.
One of tbe greatest boons to business
men and holiday-makers Is the so-called
fortnightly ticket For third class It
costs 22s 3d and for second class 1 15s
6d. Such a ticket entitles the holder to
travel all over Denmark for a term
of 14 days, lie can go wherever he
cares to go and as many times over
tbe same route as he may wish within
the time paid for namely, fourteen
days. A holiday-maker may visit every
place of Interest In- Denmark during
tbat time and If he finds any pleasure
in traveling from town to town night
and day for the period be can do so.
He pays the price of $5.40, with a de
posit of $1.37 for the ticket, on which
a photograph of the holder Is pasted,
and at tbe expiration of the 14 days
he returns the ticket and gets the S1.U7
dojiosit back. .
He can also buy a ticket for a mouth,
which costs 30 per cent more, and tbe
longer the time the greater the reduc
tion. While a fortnightly ticket costs
5.5(1, a twelve-month ticket costs $,7).
If the passenger hnd to pay for a
twelve-month ticket at the rate of $3.50
per fortnight It would cost him $133.30.
Thus the reductlou Is over 150 per
cent.
If instead of paying for a fortnightly
ticket a traveler went from Esbjerg
to Copenhagen ami back as often as
he could within 14 days and bought or
dinary tickets for each trip they would
cost him over $30 and this amount
wonld be doubled In a fortnight If be
went sightseeing from one place to an
other, traveling all over Denmark In
easy stages.
Season tickets can also be bud for
journeys between two towns. Young
people under tbe age of 18 travel for
half price. London Express.
Ill Usage of tbe Eyes.
Most persons are right or left sighted.
We all use one eye tbe right or left In
preference, when looking through a
glass or taking aim with a gun. If we
do not perceive this ourselves, oculists
and opticians remark It The Ignorance
of most people on this subject Is Illus
trated by their buying glasses at tbe
opticians without taking account of any
difference between the eyes. Thus only
one of the eyes Is helped, while the
other one, being less called Into exercise,
becomes less and less useful and loses
Its power, as a tool rusts when not lu
use. Yet both our eyes are needed to
see well. It becomes, therefore, highly
Important to observe how the child
usee its eyes In order to correct those
attitudes which tend to Injury of the
sight as well as tbe health. In writing,
children rarely fall to give the head
an Inclination by which tbe eyes are
placed at unequal distances from the
paper. They are also apt to Incline the
head too far and acquire the habit of
bringing It too nearr aa when they try
to accommodate themselves to a feeble
light Not sufficient attention Is paid
to these matters, especially when we
consider the consequences of such hab
its In mature age. A large proportion
of our defects originate In want of prop
er care during childhood. We do wrong
to such wonderful tools as our senses,
when we do not give them the educa
tion they need. It Is surprising that
parents who are so particular about the
way their children hold their spoon or
fork pay so little attention to tbe way
they use their eyes.
Some men imagine there is no ac
counting for tastes until they are called
upon to foot a dressmaker's bill.

MISIRY OF THE HALL BEDROOM.
A State la the Life of Many New Xork
ere That Few Kecall with Pleasure.
The woman who had arrived grew re
flective, "I shall never forgvt my ball
I bedroom days, lSu in uutnbcr," she
said. "A good deal has been wiltteu
about the hall bedroom of New York,
. but no pu ran tell all lis miseries. I
came to New York fresh from tbe am
1 pie spaces of a country home. I took
' a hall bedroom because it was the only
'room In the house I could afford. It
had In It a cot covered In day with au
(Oriental' tspestry; a wsshstand, a
screen, a shelf curtained off with hooks
beneath for clothes; a looking-glass on
the wall with a little stand beneath,
two chairs, aud a useful pleco of furni
ture which was wrltlug desk, bookcase
and dressing case combined. When
my trunk and my typewriter were
added to these treasures I could turn
around with care, by opening the door
so as to utilise a part of the hall ror the
purpose.
"My typewriter knocked out the little
stand la one round. Could It have sat
till It would have stood the uurdeu.
But X had to move the stand whenever
I wasted to dress, or to get at my trunk,
and as I did not remove the typewriter,
but simply dragged the staud around,
the poor thing quickly collapsed. The
landlady looked severe when I told her.
When I got another staud I carefully
lifted my typewriter off whenever I
wanted to move tbe staud, which was a
dosen times day.
"My dresses were continually falling
from tbe books without the slightest
provocation, and I had always to move
the screen, and then bring a chair to
stand on to bang them up again. The
only way I could get any light or air
was to sit by tbe wludow; and as my
trunk had a stand there, I had perforce
to sit on tbe trunk; and a trunk can be
Improved upon as a place of continuous
repose. I have sat upon It for hours,
tailor fashion, mending my clothes,
when my very soul loathed tbe needle.
"It was an acrobatics! feat to dress In
that room la the morulng. I never shall
forget some of my maddenlug struggles
to get Into my clothes In two square
feet of space. For six months I never
knew how my back hair looked, for It
was too dark over by tbe glass to see.
My destructive tendencies came eut
strong, for I pulled down first the cur
tains over my clothes, and then those at
the window, pole and all. I had to
keep a good many things In my trunk,
and whenever I wanted to get at them
I had to first remove a mass of books,
papers and manuscript from tbe Hit, or
else open It and let them slide down
behind. I bad to sit on my trunk to
play my typewriter, because neither of
the chairs wss high enough."
"And so you bate the bull ledroom?"
"Well, no; I don't know tbat I do.
That hall bedroom witnessed my first
triumph. I got my first check there;
$20, for a 2,000-word story. When I
opened tbe envelope and saw that check
I grew faint It was tbe revulsion afier
six months of grim, heartrending deter
mination. Then I laughed and cried
and grew hysterical. Anyone with any
experience could have told me tbat one
swallow did not make summer, but to
me It was tbe beginning of success.
And so It proved. I have not lived In
a ball bedroom since."
"And nowr
The woman who bad arrive! was si
lent, and looked strslgbt shead of her.
Then she laughed and rose suddenly.
I wish I could ever be as happy
again as I was when I got tbat check,"

HOW HE WAS REDUCED.
By Circumstances Orer Which He Had
tio Control.
"You must have played some great
games of poker In your day," be said to
tbe drummer who bad been talking
about luck at cards.
"Yes, I have," was the reply. "Yes,
sir, I have had some great games.' '
"How large a bet did you ever make,
may I ask?" "
"One hundred thousand plunks."
"You don't mean It!"
"I certainly do. Yes, sir; I sat In a
game In Denver once and bet $100,000
on my baud and I had only one pair lu
It at tbat."
"What an awful bluff! The others
laid down their bauds, did theyT
"Oh, no! One of them called me. He
had a full house aud of course I was
beaten."
"And you-you lost $100,000!"
"I did. For the fraction of a second
a feeling of fajntness stole over me,
and things looked wlzzy wazzy, but
then I pulled myself together and
reached down Into my vest pocket and
handed him tbe money, with a smile."
"Great Scott f sighed the querist as
be mopped bis brow. "Think of losing
tbat much money on a turn of 'the
cards! I suppose that Is why you were
forced to take to the road?"
"Well, no. Tbe winner said that such
cheek as mine ought to be rewarded
and he returned my money. I'd have
been all right, only when I got back to
Chicago I put $000,000 with it and bet
the whole pile on a horse race and lost
by a nose. That reduced my fortune
to less than $4,000,000, and so I had to
take up this business to eke out my In.
come. Of course, It's a sad case and
I feel my position keenly, but with per
severance and Integrity I hope to pull
through In time to be able to pay the
cook her wages again. Have you a

Nine Years to Walk Through London.

are never returned; therefore the wily
young lady defers as long as possible
a positive selection of the happy man.
When a young man with money telh
lies, the people cull It "enthusiasm."

Fruit Dressing for Shore.
The best dressing for black leather Is
orange Juice. Take a slice or quarter
of an orange and rub It thoroughly all
over the shoe or boot end allow It to
dry. Then brush briskly with soft
brush until It shines like a looking
glass. A most convenient dressing for
tan shoes Is the Inside of a banana skin.
This Is runbed well and evenly all over
the shoe, and removing all spots and
dirt ns well as giving a fine polish,
which last is brought out by using a
flnannel cloth for wiping dry and an
other clean flannel for polishing. A
slice of lemon Is also used as a tai
leather dressing.' Patent leather must
never be blncked or polished with any
thing but an oil. They are the hardest
kind of shoes to keep In good order. It
Is necessary to take a clean sponge and
clean them from all dirt before apply
ing the oil. It may then be rubbed dry
at once with a flannel or other soft
cloth which will not scratch the patent
finish. Commercial Tribune.
