Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATR1CK, Editor - a ad - Proprietor PriulerB' Ink, a journal the busi ness man Bhnuld not be" without, gives the following ReiwiMe advice; "Plum words in your ads and plain dealing in j'our store will uiuke plain sailing in your business. The way the valley jwpers are gushing over football games, is very tiresome. The appropriation of of the people's money has enabled the state university to import a California coac.ier, and the agricultural college, backed by a similar pull at the treasury, has followed suit. The people like to be humbugged. Roeeburg Re- The jury in the Hannah murder oase came to an illogical and illegal verdict. They say the defendant was guilty of murder in the second degree. She was guilty ol murder iu the first degree or not guilty at all. Such sentimental gallantry to women murderers is out of place in a jury. The woman is univer sally believed to have killed her victims and should bang for it. The Waterleo tragedy adds an other tragedy to Linn county's mysterious deaths.

Amid all the noise of wrangling which has been going on during these past few months in New York over the question of Sabbath observance, no thought is more quieting, no picture more peace able, no example mure conducive to wholesome respect than that which the South at present offers to the entire country. As restful a picture, and suggestive of the true art of living, as the South always oilers to those who can look at it and its people withabroid-minded spirit and with discerning eyes.that garden-spot of American life has never presented a more delightful aspect than at this moment. And it should command our national respect, admiration and thankful ness. Just now the Southern peo ple are enjoying a Cotton States Exhibition at Atlanta, and at no time, thus far, in the history of their celebration and merry-mak iog has the thought occurred to either the msnagers of the exposi tion, or to the people of the South, to question the propriety of Bab- bath observance. . There has been no repetition of the World's Fair wrangle, nor even a suggestion of it. Quietly h .ve the gates of the exhibition grounds been closed eaoh Saturday night, and opened again mch Monday morning. The Auierteau. Sunday has been kept inviolate, and it has been done without ostentation, without even thought of aught else.

A ftttte Dad BaUevad The Om m 1m t)mm m aaathaa. - A pmftam of entomobjrf in the tat tuiivnaitr was searching the llerkaley hills lor rare Insects when he heard the blood-outdUn? rattle of a Tnalcemndtamd a big diamond backed pinioned beneath a large stone. Be (rot a stick to kill the ensue, says a Temdoaa California!!, aad then decided to release It first to see what it would da He approached cautiously, and the tnafas watched him, closely, but manifested no hostility, Be rolled the atone off It, and instead of colling and striving1 at him, as he expected, it stretched itself, twisted Its tail a few timet and crawled slowly toward him. Be put out the stick he carried, but the snake rubbed against it and twisted around it tenderly. The professor de cided not to kill it, and started on up the trail. He was surprised to see the snake following along, and whon he stuck one of his heavy cowhide boots out It rubbed gently against it. Alter considerable trouble he gave the snake the slip and returned with his bugs. The next year the professor was up on the hills after some more speci mens when he heard a great rattling, and just ahead of him in the trail he saw a big rattler. It was not coiled and evidently was not angry. Be looked at it closely and noticed a scar on its back. Then he counted its rat-, tics aad decided that it was the snake he had rescued the year before. It seemed overjoyed to see him and wagged its tail like a dog, making a terrific rattling. The snake followed the professor about so closely that he could not get rid of It, and it became a pet in his bachelor apartments. It used to eoil itself at the foot of bis bed and sleep there. The prof easors friends waned him that the snake would kill him or some one else, but he had every confidence in it One night he heard a terrible racket downstairs in the dining-room. Be struck a light and his pet was miss ing. Then ne ran downstairs and found the snake in the dining-room coiled around a burglar. It was hold ing him with a visellke grip, while It had iu tail out the window rattling for a policeman. EXPERIENCES OF PRISON LIFE. iMirmliM inms kf Om Whs Owfht The moat important epochs in the life of a eonvict are the time of his arrival and the moment of hit departure from prison, writes "Debsy," in the Still water mson Mirror. Of the first I can speak intelligently, of the latter from fancy only. When the iron door of his six-by-four cell is shut and locked upon him and he is left free to explore his new home, the first sensation is one of relief, haw it is all over. He hat found the end. He can fall no lower, and, as I say, there it a certain feeling of relief in that very thought Strange as it may seem, bis mind it, to a certain extent, at 'rest The long .".train of the trial, the tedious dars and weeks of uncertainty and 'Waiting are enaea, ana he knows and can look forward to a definite life. He knows, too, that here he will be carefully watched and guarded, that "no thieves break in and steal," "that no moss will grow under hit footsteps,'' and that he will be expected to "stir" about. nd make himself useful at whatever mdns try he may be employed. There are no drones in this hire; and if he does not do his "bit" at hard labor It w ill not be his fault The first few days in his new environment era apt to pus quick ly enough (providing he be a novieej, for everything is so weird and strawre in his new life, and the sounds and sig nals are to foreign to bisother lite that ae has no time nor breath to spare in idle regrets and murmurs. But then comes the reaction; he has settled down to his mutton, and now Mines the strain. The deadly monot ony and sameness of it all, day in and ilsy out, drag and wear on the mind and body, and then, if the system be not in the finest physical condition, the defect shows itself, and, hastened bv the rigid diet, the doctor will now en ter bis life. Passing this stage success fully, the days and weeks glide bv. and the months literally turn to yean, and toon he it beginning to count on his fingers the months to his discharge. POWER OF A PIANIST. Tmmtt f SMacth Baaa la Stttkiae: a not Heevuy. It requires more force to sound a note gently on a piano than to lift the lid of a kettle. A German composer has fig ured that the minimum pressure of the finger playing pianissimo is equal to one hundred and ten grams a quarter or a porno, lew kettle lids weigh more thM two ounces, says the Mimical Courier. - The German's calculations are easy to verify if one takes a small handful of coins and piles them on a key of the piano. When a sufficient quantity is puca on to make a note sound they may then be weighed and these figures will be found to be true. If the pianist is nlavbur fortissimo a much greater force is needed. At times u force of six pounds is thrown upon a single key to produce a solitary effect. With chords the force is generally spread over the various notes sounded simultaneously, though a gr-ater out put of foree it undoubtedly emended. This it what gives pianists the wonder- rai strength In their fingers so often commented on. A story used to be told of Paderewski that be could crack a pane of French plate glass half an inoh thick merely by placing one band upon at if upon a piano keyboard, and striking sharply with his middle finger. Chopin's but study in C minor has a passage which takes two minutes and five seconds to play. The total pres sure brought to bear on this, it It estl. nuted. is equal to thrss full toot.
