Doesn't it embarrass you to be Ititsed by your husband belore a earful of people?" "Err- barrass me! replied the lady, who was Hire I.ig off on journey, at she seated herself in a f :at and looked at the questioner. "Did John kiss me when he said good by? I declare I didn't no'ice it. Is my hat on straight.Laura?" One argument used against Boulanger during the recent campaign was based upon the theory that he was not a well-read man. The Kepublcans pointed to Larnot as a man of cultre ; worthy of the place he holds. They claimed that outside of a few volumes on military matters Boul anger has no library and never indulges in miscellaneous reading. Crushed aUg is laid to be gre-iiy au- perlortodry earth as an absorbing and deodorizing material for eartu closets, both on account of it extreme poro.-y, which makes the use of a smaller qui all possible, and from Its value as afertil )-, which is vastly lueroased by using it ft: (he purpose suggesUa. It is also elt$i and qlentiful. A condemned criminal in England must he allowed to see three Sundays between his sentence and his execution. Of course he can thus be hung in a little over two weeks, but the three Sundays must pass over his head before the gallows claims him. The custom is a relic of mediaeval times, when a criminal was allowed that much of a respite to prepare for death. Cardinal Gibbons has called tUntion to the fact that in n inety-nine years the Catholic population of the Unite States has increased from 40,000, to 9,000 ,ol3. The Church now has in this country 8,000 clergymen, xo, 000 churches and chapels, 650 colleges for higher education of the youth of both sexes, and isveral hundred asylums and hospitals . ' Truly, this is a marveleus growth, and His Eminence has reason to point to it with pride. In France when a patient ia under chic reform, on the slightest sympton appear ing of failure of the heart they turn him nearly upside down, that is, with his head downward and bis heels in the air. This they say, always restores him and such is thelrf aith in the efficacy orthis method, that the operating tables in the Paris hospitals are made so that in an Instant they can be elevated with one end in the air, so as to bring the patient Into a pssi tion resembling that of standing on hia head. A syndicate of English capitalists has been fotmed for thepurpoie of buy log up mortgages on western farm lands and its agent will begin operations November 1. As the western farmers have no earth ly show of paying off their mortgaged In debtedness, lc is only question of time when the syndicate will own the land and the present owners will beo ime tenants. Thus every day brings to the surface some new effect of oar present industrial and polltioal system, and the question forces itself anew, how long will people rest under such monstrous wrongs. The old horse Comanche, the only sur vivor of the famous Custer massacre, is still handsomely cared for at the Govern ment's expense- By special order of the military authorities Comanche is provided with a comfortable stall ftted up especially for him eut in Dakota- No one is permit ted to ride him, and ne is not allowed to do any work whatever. Riddled with bullets and scarred with sabre wounds, his body speaks eloqu ently of the perilous doty he has performed in his twenty-years of service under the Government. The story goes that a clraln society young man, noted for his handsome bear ng and winning voice, accompanied a young lady to her home and, as all true lovers do, lingered yet a little while at the gate to have a loyer.s tete-a-tete with his fair companion. The night was beautiful, no one near to intrude, and, above all, he lived! why shouldn't she kiss him? with true maidenly modesty she refused. He Implored, she still withheld from him that which would fill his cup of happiness. The request w as repeated sevrea! times and so engrossed did the ryeung man be come in wooing he failed to notice the approach of the parentiat step. The old gentleman, who had beep there himself and did not care to intrude upon the hap piness of the young couple, quietly step ping behind a convenient rosebush, waited, thinking the young man would soon leave. Ii this he was mistakei. The lover tar ried over the request until the patience of the old gentleman was exhausted. A voice the couple well knew aroused thtm from their happiness In atone of Impatient anger by saying: "daughter, kUs the fool and let him go home!" It Is reported that the voung man enlv hit the ground in high places In his endeavor 10 comply with the eld gentleman's request. ni'TIW Oft AMERICAN "bREADSTITM The Secretary of Stat bas received a dlspatob from the United States Minister at The ilegue giving some information In regard to a proposition of the Netherlands government lo levy protective duties on Imparted breadstuff. A bill to that end Is now pending In the States Ueneral, with some prospects of becoming a law. Miserable Assessments, The WtitSidt is vigorously attacking our assessment law and while it is true that they have many la mentable defects in our system is undervalua t'on. Is is known of all men all over the state that not a single connty in the state assesses its properly at more than one third its value. We include io "undervaluation" all property hidden and not given in by the owners. Dodg ing taxation Is the greatest curse.but unfortun ately extensively practiced, A large majority seem bent on escaping as much as possible the burden of taxation. We warn the I'm Suit that no system of assessments will prove a pan acea unless it be backed up and supported by a vigorous hearly sentiment sustaining assessors in searching out all property in his county and assessing it as the tatute requires at its true cash value, The Statesman is very silent on the sub ject of the new Superintendent of the Che mawa Indian school. People smile as ' they compare this course with that which it pursued with reference to the former superintendent. Ixsire at Once. Mr. Julius Grad wohl's advice to the people of Albany Is to insure at once before it is teo late, for the fire fiend is devastating the cities of the N". VI. Mr Gradwohl represents seven solid companies, with an aggregate capi tal of $76,000,000 and a cash deposit of $350,000 at Salem. As well as business men, farmers should insure their crops, for they will burn, as a number of cases already testify. Though Mr Gradwohi's companies les't some in Seattle, Vancou ver, Ellensburgh and Spokane Falls their capital is so great the loss is not felt, and they will continue to place risks and pay losses with their usual promptness, the same as thev did after the great Chicago ..-, in mum mcir losses were ncavy.
