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. Waterloo citi

be thoroughly investigated. Water

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. It hat

REPTILIAN GRATITUDE.
A ftttte Dad BaUevad The Om m

- 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,

weeks of uncertainty and 'Waiting are

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

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
