Lebanon will have a bank.
Advertise in the Express. It will
bring you good returns.
Lebanon's exhibits at the state
fair and Portland exposition . ill
be good.
A small stock well advertised
will prove -more profitable than a
large stock not advertised. Print;

It may be better to bebornluoky
than rich. All the same, it's
mighty unlucky not to be born
rich. Judge.
Many people want what many
others want to get tid of. The
means to satisfy both is printers'
ink. Printers' Ink.
The season is approaching when
it may rain wid it may not; but
generally it may. But that m
what makes our crops.
There are 964 women employed
in the national and state banks of
the United States, and no woman
bo employed haB ever yet been
found to be a defaulter.
A Chicago editor pays a hand
some and deserved tribute to Ore
gon climate and woman by re
marking that "every lady is beauti
ful, for her complexion is as clear
as crystal aud tinted like the rose.
For the climate does it.
Our "new woman" has teen
again heard from. This time in a
divorce court in Cincinnati. A few
days ago one of the number sued
for a divorce from her husband.
He filed an answer, He says she
is one of the "coining women." He
has been compelled to don an old
calico apron, wash the dishes,
scrub the children, attend to their
oiothing and perform other acts of
household drnggery which custom
has releated to the sphere of lovely
wumnn from time immemorial.
Hoping that the court still enter
tains the old fashioned idea as to
man'B proper relation to a domes
tic arrangement, Mr. Gravius hum
biy prays -for authority to get
away.
In a cemetery in the suburbs of
Lowell, Mass., there are five head
stones all alike except the inscrip

wife of John Smith," and the sec
ond "Second wife," and so on until
the fifth stone, which reads, "John
Smith, at rest at last."

An Arkansas editor snys: "We
have mountians so high that you
can tickle the feet of the free silver
angels in heaven, and gorges so
deep that you descend to their
base and hand down ice to the
goldbugs in the infernal regions."

A. W. Bash, ex-collector of cus
toms of Puget Sound, has returned
from China with a lot of franchises
and has gone east to raise money
to build railroads in Li Hung

"Get out of debt and stay out,"
is what an eastern Oregon editor
has been preaching to the readers
of his paper for some time. With
wheat at the present price, the
Umatilla county farmer would
vote this editor a golden crown
and a free pass .to heaven, if he
would furnish the key to the prob
lem of how to get out of debt. The
farmer once out of debt will stay
out. The dearly acquired exper
ience of the past ,hasv, more than
the lesson; "stay out of debt." A
person advocating a theory, tn
argument or a subject for the ad
vance of mankind, is naturally
supposed to be in a manner con
versant with the question he is
handling, and, consequently, in
looked to for his solution of the
problem which he hag unrayellsd.
The average farmer, when once out
of debt, will stay out. Bot to get
out "aye, there's the rub!"
Athena Press.
The press association of the
state of New York, in its recent
annual convention, unanimously
adopted resolutions rejoicing in
every effort on the part of the dif
ferent women's organizations to
educate public sentiment in favor
of a higher moral standard for the
preas.and pledging its influence and
co-operation; also pledging co-oper
ation with the National Editors!
Association iu the resolution adop
ted by that body last year in refer
ence to the exclusion of immoral
and questionable advertisements.
May the wave come westward and
southward and wash our secular
press. It is claimed that the press
follows in the wake of public opin
ion and caters to the public; in a
sense this is true, but in a . more
important sense the press is re
sponsible for the vitiated taste it
andMVori to gratify. Let the
good work go ou until ths firs is

MAKING OLAY PIPES.
Ilow and W hero Thoy Are ManufeotiuuU
An Jhitertntiffig Froews.
Charles V. Muxwoll of Strowbrldjro,
Hiss., In oonrornition with a St. Louis
3tnr-Sayhis reporter said:
"It is popularly believed that all olny
pipes are cither made in Europe or from
slay brought from tho other hemisphere,
but such Is not the case, as a very lorfre
share of the elaypipesmrule in America
are from clay found at and near Wood
bridge, N. J. Tho clay comes by tho
earload and the first step toward pre
paring it for molding is to sufficiently
dampen it with water to make it plia
ble. This is done by placing it in a
tank, where it soaks for about twenty
four hours. It is then hammored with
iron bars, thus ridding it of any lumps
or dry chunks, Then the molding be
gins. The workman takes a lump of
clay in each hand and by squeezing and
rolling it molds the pieces into a rough
stem about three times as large as tha
finished pipe atom, having a rough bull
at its end. These rolls, as they are
called, ore piled on wooden trnys, six
teen to each tray, after which they are
dried, either by the sun or by artificial
means, according- to the weather. Aftc;
having been dried, not to hardness but
sufficiently to dispose of all superfluous ,
dampness, the rolls are ready to have
the stem drilled and the bowl formed.
To drill tho stem the workman holds u
small iron rod the size of the stem holes,
and with his left hand pulls the clay
roll over the rod instead of shoving the
rod through the stem. To do this the
workman is guided solely by the sense
of touch in his linger tips, and that
sense is so accurate that the hole is in
variably made correctly. The bail at
the end of the roll is turned up, and
then roll and rod are placed In an iron
matrix which presses the pliable clay
into the desired outside pattern. The
matrix and ite contents are placed in a
hand press, and the workman, by pull
ing a lever, forms tho hole of the pipe
bowl. The molded pipe, still soft and
pliable, then passes to the hands of the
trimmer girls, who scrape off the super
fluous clay, making the joints of the
matrix. Then the pipes are placed in
fire-proof clay sajrger and the loaded
saggers are placed in a large furnace.
I Ins furnace has eight flues at the bot
tom, and the six sheets of flame at tiki
bottom concentrate at the top, tluvi
making tho heat even throughout.
Until the pipes go into the furnace thoy
are blue in color, but when they come
out they arc puro white."

... BRAIN WORK AT N1QHT.
Unless It Is ImjMmUve It Should llo
Avoided.
To the Imaginative young writer
there if uf .iseination about the quietude
of uninterrupted night work until much
of it ) ni icliicf has been done. If ho
has c ffc-.rl daily occupation, or is pop
ular among his friends, the night offers
tho best chance for continued applica
tion by its quietness and peace. This
very cessation of life's turmoil and the
resulting feeling of ease should be ac
cepted as nature's preparation for rest
Unless it is imperative night work
lioold be avoided, says a writer in, tho
Herald of Health. It must be impera
tive to the staff of morning papers, and
the question thus assumes importance
of accomplishing the work with tho
least possible expenditure of vital force.
While by working during the day per
sistently and deliberately an enormous
amount of copy can be thrown off, that
produced after midnight absorbs the
best part of the writer's vitality.
When he should be in the prime of his
faculties he is nervous, suffers from in
somnia, aud his overtaxed nervous sys
tem cannot rest, even in artificial sluia
ber. The natural temptation is to ap
ply the whip of stimulation to the jaded
brain; but thii is dangerous, and at the
best only a transient and uncertain
remedy. The imagination answers fit
fully to this kind of forcing, the next
day's critical judgment of the results
almost certainly will be unfavorable,
and the mental excitement thus induced
will probably be extravagant. Try to
mituin the brain under such stress
rather than to excite it.

SOMETHING ABOUT BLONDES.
An Observing Gotham Conductor toys
They Arc Careless About Their Hair.
She was a big, tall blonde, with
square shoulders, a narrow waist, pat
ent leather shoes and a swagger air that
would have taken the train along by it
self. She got in the oar t Twenty
eighth street, got off at Fourteenth
ctreet, and between the two stations
she picked up .four hairpins from the
cross seats of the car and bid them in
her taffy-colored back hair. The bltf
brakemau in charge of the car said to a
New York Telegram Reporter while he
stood near the platform: "Did you see
the big blonde pick up the hairpins?
Well, there are a great many women
who do that same thing every day, and
there arc some of them that we know
simply because they seem to find plssis
ureiu taking odd hairpins and using
them." .
''Are there so many hairpins to be
found on the elevated cars?" asked the
reporter.
"Why, their name is legion," said
Ned, "and most of them are to be found
cither early in the morning or late in
the afternoon, It is peculiar how many
of these same hairpins, which are found
all over the car seats, are the gilt ones
used by blondes, It is generally sup
posed that there are three brunettes to
me blonde, yet it is a peculiar fact that
wc pick up more hairpins for the use of
blondes iu the elevated cars than we do
black ones, and that is the reason that
the lady who just got out of the ear
found so many hairpins that she could
use."
