Site Smimt Governor Toole called a special session Ol tha legislature to-day. The republicans till keep up their effort there to cheat the democrats out of the legUlature. The averrge sslsrjr ol the 54,864 fourth, class postmasters Is only $153- There are less than 6,ooo who haro 5 or mor a year, and the average salary of the re maining 49,oo Is about $90. A very small amount te be fought for, but a very fruitful cause of quarrel and political claim. Quite a "spat" was has! at Chicago Sat urday in the national convention of the V C T U ever the statement that vice Pres ident Morton had a saloon In Washington city. Mrs J Ellen Foster of Iowa who is much more devoted tu the republican party than she is to the cause of temperance at. tempted to excuse the exUtence of a bar in Vice Presidents new hotel by saying It was a "uecessity," but cries of "no', were heard on all sides and Mrs Ellen had to subside. The heart sends nearly ten pounds of blood through the veins and arteries each beat, and makes four beats while we breathe once. One hundred and seventy five million cells are in the lungs, which would cover a surface thirty tlisjes greater than the human body. The average of pulse in Infancy is no per minute; in manhood, eighty! at sixty years, sixty. The pulse oi females is more frequent than that of males. A life spent in brushing clothes, and washing crockery, and sweeping floors a life which the proud of the earth would have treated as the dust under their feet, a life spent at the elerk's desk a life spent in the narrow shop, a life spent in the labor er's nut may yet be a life so ennobled by God's loving mercy that for the sake of it aking might gladly jield his crown. Wiiliam C Dillingham, while fishing in Gordon Creek a few days since, discovered a beautiful fossil trout fifteen inches in length In a huge boulder. Every fin and scale of the fish was as plainly marked in the rock as if cut by a skilled artist. Many people wonder how trout get in streams above high falls. They were doubtless there before the falls were made, as from this fossil it is evident that there were trout In the streams of Oregon in prehistoric ages. There is yet a further developement of he marvellous photograph. Prof. Arch ibald announces that phonograms, or mes sages which the listening ear may gleam from the phonograph, are now transmiss Ible not merely in cylinder form, but on flat surfaces enclosed in envelopes. No special enclosure apparatus is, therefore, required to carry the voice from town to town or continent to continent. One suck message has actually crossed the Atlantic by ordinary letter. Rapidity of execution, not fine work, Is the dlstinguishiug feature of all American handicraft, American carpenters and wood workers do more good work In a given time than any of their brothers of other lands, but it does not have the fault less neatness of the products of Chinese and Freeeh artisans. The Chinese, for Instance, make chairs, cabinets, and even houses without the use of a single nail, and every piece of wood is fitted to its place with hair-line exactness. It is not considered extraordinary in China to spend three years In the construction of a . single bedstead. China no longer holds its old monopoly in tea production. More than half of that sent to England is now produced In India, which, as an English dependency, receives every encouragemeut in tea growing that the government can give. Indian teals said to be one-half stronger than that produced In China. The Chinese have nsver sent to foreign "barbarians" their bsst teas- Perhaps the people of ludia are nat so particular. Labor in India Is as cheap at Ih China. Their devotion to tea growing may lesson Indian wheat produc tion which has lately fallen efl because ot its unprofitableness. The Chilian Government has removed commercial restrictions on American manufactures, and thus an important mar ket for those enterprislr.g enough to avail themselves of it is opened- We have facilities for buildln g up anextensivt trade In that country, as our manufactur ers can produce machinery needed for the Chilians much cheaper than they can make it for themselves. England is reach ing out (or this valuable trade, and her advantage In the contest consists In the fact that sae has plenty of ships, while ur merchants have not. Some means for increasing our merchant marine should be devised. This is qnlta as important as In creasing our navy. In the Lead.
