The Huootbesl. easiest, most perfect way of keeping Uia bowel clear and clean Is to take A New and Popular Move by the Famous Ellen Piano House. This house, whoee progressive meth ods are coming to be known and recog nized throughout the Northwest, has recently inaugurated a Bystem of piano club selling which exceeds anything ever attempted in this country in the way of providing the people with etandard pianos at low prices. By this method members joining the clubs secure their pianos at strictly wholesale prices by paying down an exceedingly small sura. The piano is immediately delivered and they are giren a wide limit of time in which to finish their purchase. The principle is merely that applied to wholesale purchasers, the club standing in the light of the wholesale buyer. High grade as well as medium erade pianos are included in these clubs. The world famed Kimballs, Chickerings and Webers can be secured by this method at a saving of from one hundred to one bun ired and nliy dot lars. All the pianos included in the club are on the floors of the ta'es roomi at Eiiers Piano House in Portland, and prospective club joiners may thorough' ly inspect their instruments before making their selection. All the in struments in the clubs are standard makes and are brand new. In addition to those above mentioned, there are the famous Decker, Dol, Hobart M. Cable, Weser, Lester and man others. Pianos are delivered to clnb members upon their making their first payment, and a written guarantee for five years comes with each piano, signed by its manufacturer and also by Eiiers Piano House. The clubs are four and each numbers 100. Member of Club A pay but $5. CO and finish their purchase with weekly installments of $1.25. Club B members pav but $7.50 upon delivery of the piano and finish paying at the rate of $1.60 weekly. Club C make an initial payment of 12.00, and balance in $2.00 weekly. Club D members pay $20 down and the re mainder of the purchase price in $2.00 weekly payments. Those desiring to pay all cash will save the additional interest. Pianos that sell regularly for $225.00 1 go to club members for $137.00; 275.00 instruments for $168.00; $100.00 ones for $187.00; and the very best medium grade pianos that cannot be sold under the regular retail condi tions for lees than $350.00 will go to club members for $218.00. The saving ' end of wonderment, throughout is equally great and tnese contemplating the purchase of an in etrumnet will do well to investigate this proposition. - CANDY CATHARTIC j :VV twadi at ai eisrouto Plftiaant.

The Cardiff Giant, the most famous hoax of the nineteenth oeuttiry, ta re called by the recent death at Blngham- ton or Uoorge Hull, who gave the thing promi nence and gained notoriety for him self by means of it The whole country was dup ed. Oliver Weu dell Holmes and Ralph Waldo Em erson believed In ukoboe HiLU the thing. Judge William a Ruger said: "No one can look upon that calm, grand smile of mingled sweetness and strength with out being convinced that the giant once lived and had a being." Cardiff, where the giant was found. Is In Onondaga County, New York State, a few miles from Syracuse. Near by Is a depression In the earth known aa Ouondnga Hollow. In this hollow are to be found petrified ush and rep tiles. Geologists say this hollow once formed the bed of an ocean. It waa. here, on the Newell farm, that the giant was ostensibly discov ered on Oct. 10, ISCO, while William Newell, nicknamed "Stub" Newell, and hi men were digging a well. To at test the authenticity of the find at the time, Newell, Gideon Emmons, Henry Nichols, John Parker and Smith A. Woodman solemnly made affidavit to the circumstances In order to be able to meet any possible charge of fraud. The news of the discovery of the giant spread across the country In an Incredibly short time, and soon vehi cles of all aorts were headed for the pit. loaded with people curious to look upon the face of this wonder, this pre historic giant With admirable promp titude. Newell erected a tent oyer the pit and charged an admission fee of 50 cents. In this way he made oyer 7,. 000 in a few weeks. lie sold a three quarter Interest to tome Syracuse men, one of whom was Dr. Westpott, father of the author of "David Haruin." It is said that Newell got $30,000 for this three-qnarter Interest It was not long before the giant be gan to attract the attention of eminent scientific men. One of the first to view the giant was Prof. Ball, the New York State geologist who pro claimed It to be the petrified body of a man. The newspapers and maga zines of the country went Into a learn ed discussion of the subject Heated arguments between aclentlsts were nubllshed. some declaring that the giant was a petrifaction, others deny' ing this, but asserting It to be an In age of great antiquity. Among those who held to the latter theory were a committee from the Geological Society, of Boston, composed of Oliver Wen dell Holmes, Prof. Jackson and others. Judge Ruger gave the delightful tes timonial already quoted. Powers, the sculptor, whose statue. The Greek Slave, Is known all over the world, declared that no chisel could have carved such a man. Families Quarreled Over It. It is said that in central New York families were virtually disrupted by the aggressiveness of the discussion over the genuineness of the giant It Is doubtless true that the four or five men who became the owners and ex hibitors of the giant were as badly de ceived as the public, the originator of the humbug having In that way made a master stroke. One of these was Dr. Amos Westcott, the father of the author of ''David Harum." Dr: West- cott was a gentleman of the highest respectability In Syracuse, and when the giant was finally shown to have been a fraud, bis health gave way and he died shortly after. It Is said, of a broken heart. He felt the world would never believe blm Innocent of an intention to hoodwink It At the time the giant flourished P. T. Barnum had a museum In New York, and he recognized the worth of the giant for his show. He offered $00,000 for It for three months. This offer was rejected, but Barnum was not to be defeated thus easily. There was a chemist In Syracuse named Otto, who knew something about mod eling. Barnum commissioned him to make a plaster giant as near like the original as possible. Otto produced a duplicate giant made of plaster on a wire madel and weighted with Iron to give the weight of the original. This Imitation Barnum exhibited In his mtf- seum, and many who saw It wonder ed how such a composition could de ceive the learned men even for a mo ment Meanwhile the original giant was shown In different cities, causing no On one day In Syracuse 4,000 people paid 50 cents apiece to see it. The Mayor and all the public officials of Rochester made an official Journey to Syracuse to see It Trains on the New York Central road stopped ten minutes at Syracuse to afford passengers an opportunity to run across the street and see It Even tually the fraud was discovered and then Hull made a confession that he the gigantic JOHN POOLE, PORTLAND, ORE.

The Idea of the Cardiff Giant null got from an argument he had with a Methodist minister, in which the min ister claimed the earth was at one time peopled with giants, as the Bible says. His resourceful mind graRped the Idea of a great and grand sell, and he at once set to work to materialize It.

When the 5,000 Boes prisoners were confined on the Islands of the Great Bound, Bermuda, there was a constant rivalry between the wits of the burgh ers and those of their guards every whit as keen as that displayed by the contending generals on the far-off Afri can battle-fields. Now It was a "take off" on the Tommies, now a laugh on the hirsute burghers, and things had about split even until the eventful night when not only the whole English camp but the English fleet as well fell victims to the plotting Boers. A Britsh sentry was stationed on a promontory overlooking the sound, when something suspicious caught his eye on the calm surface of the water between himself and a battleship ly ing at anchor. Not wishing to arouse the whole camp on a false alarm, he watched the object for some minutes. Suddenly his heart Jumped Into his mouth. The object was not only mov ing slowly through the water, but It had taken the shape of a man on a raft Was It a prisoner escaping? "Guard turn out! Sound the alarm! Searchlight! Searchlight!" he shouted. The English camp was astir In a moment The alarm was sounded and the armed Britons came flocking from every quarter. Signals were made to the battleship, and in a few moments she was a scene of commotion. Her great searchlight was turned on the ocean and lighted up the promontory with the brightness of noonday. Boats filled with armed soldiers shot out af ter the escaping Boer. Then the search light fell upon the raft as It did so a roar from 5,000 Boers told the British that they had been taken In as Brit ish soldiers had never been taken In before. The supposed prisoner escaping, says the Detroit News-Tribune, was a dum my dressed up In burgher's clothes and tied to a raft r.Tit. in 1 III Hi mm I. i 1 KNOWN ! s5-n 1 9 " 11 Did Pelee Kob Oil Wells? Speaking of the decrease or almost. total disappearance of the gas pres-j sure which was so long one of the great peculiarities of the Beaumont1 field, there Is a novel theory advanced. Some men who study such things say that Just about the time of the erup tion of Mont Pelee and the destruc tion of St. Tlerre the gas pressure be gan to lessen and In a short while al most entirely dlsapepared. The theory Is that the gas which was under the ground at Beaumont ex tended laterally under the earth all the way down through the Caribbean Sea and when It accumulated In large quantities under Mont Pelee the ex plosion came and the supply was ex hausted there. In support of this won derful theory attention Is called to the fact that the famous oil pool In the Gulf of Mexico, south of Beaumont many miles, and which has boen the wonder of mariners for years and years. Is on a direct line between Beau mont and Mont Pelee. So the people who deal In synclines and monoclines and anticlines, says the New Orleans Picayune, find comfort In believing that the eruption of the volcano Is what has caused all the damage at Beaumont Not 8o Far from It.

Life out of doors and ont of the games which they play and the enjoy merit which they receive and the effort which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative Is needed the remedy which Is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the Internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, becauae its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itaelf free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little one enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle sction and its beneficial effect, is Syrup of Figs snd for the same reason it la the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or natueating and, which cleanse the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which result from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and agalnat which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juice, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal ers sometimes offer to increase their profits.
