Yet this is just what the Post Check currency would enable you to do When this money has been used in this manner it is returned to the Treasury for redemption and a fresh bill is issued in its stead. Thus the circulating cur rency is constantly kept fresh, clean and comparatively free from disease germs. This should ap|ieal to the physician and hygienist as an important step in our progress towards the final stamping out of nil contagious diseases. What can be more unhygienic that old, worn, greasy paper money, passing from hand to hand, among all classes and conditions of men? Time and again they have been examin ed and found literally to swarm with bacteria. The clean, fresh Post Check would be used but little until some one would want to send it by mail, when its further circulation would erase, and a new one would take its place. Business men universally indorse it. It now re- mains only for the medical profession and all who desire clean healthful money to see its many good, tune-saying, money-saying and health and life saving qualities and write their Congressman and senators about it, urging them to yote for the bill (H. R. 1976), which will come up for passage at the present session. The plan has the approval of the Postmaster General and was favor, ably reported upon by the House Post Office Committee at the last session. c ally valuable with that whose chief aj peal is to the esthetic tastes The near- es api roach to happiness in this world is to be able to find out our pleasure and . profit together—to obtain our living from a pursuit which is at the same time | congenial and practically productive I Blit, looking at the whole question in another light, it is certain that al) who ever lived upon a farm, no matter when and for what reason thrv left it,desire at some time of life to return thereto. Where’er I roam, whatever realms I see. Mv heart, untravekd. fondly turns to thee. Sir Walter Scott used to declare the passage in Shakespear, describing Jack FaIstaffs death, the most pathetic in the English language. Poor old Jack, after living a rollicksome life in courts and camps and hotels, felt the hollowness of it all and reverted in his last hours to the teuder recollections of childhood. He was in the grassy meadows or wading through the pebbly streams in childish glee. His imagination wandered amid »cenes and with friends of distant davs. and above all, he heard the voice of his mother as it sounded in his infant ears in the long ago. In his delirium he talk, ed of "pastures green’’ and ‘‘bubbling brooks," an<l with these words on his lips, the soul of the sinful, but much loved Falstaff, passed on dusky wings across the dark gulf of oblivion.—Ameri can Farmer. The Asiatic War and American Farmers. The selfishness inherent in human nature mav tempt us not to regret, even if we do not welcome, the war now raging on the distant coasts of the Yellow sea. Quoting the old saw that “ it is an ill wind that blows no body good,’’ we may console ourselves with the reflection that we may at least get profit by feeding the fighters. Even as the first guns were sounding, a steamship was on its wav from San Francisco loaded with meat for the Russian government. Others will doubtless follow and the demands of the belligerents may furnish a market for much foodstuff from American farms. The Boer war enabled us to sell many mules and horses, and this How to Keep The Boys on The experience will, perhaps, be repeated Farm. with a change only in the character of the commodity.

III. 17. 1904 A stukia , Or., March 10.—Arthur Nor toa, a submarine diver of long experience met his death Wednesday afternoon while at the bottom of the Columbia hunting for an anchor that had been lost bv the dredge Chinook. He was in the Government employ for the day and the tug Mendcll was used to assist him in the work, After he had donned his diving suit and it had been tested, he went down in about 22 feet of water. The position was just below Smith’s point and opposite the west end of Astoria. Ater he had been in’lhe water for a few minutes he failed to respond to the signal cord and he was quickly brought to the surface and the plate in the front of his helmet unscrewed, when he gave a couple of gasps and died, His head was considerably swollen and I blood was coming from his ears and , mouth. It is evident that he died of. suffocation resulting from some disar- rangement of the machine that furnished the air, but Coroner Pohl will hold an inquest. Norton was about 50 years of age and was a brother-in-law of Captain Bendegard of the steamer Signal, and leaves two children who live in San Francisco. A jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Received 2300 Volts. W eiser , Idaho, March 8.—About 9:30 last evening James Eaton, a boy about 15 Years of age, had a narrow escape from electrocution by a live wire. The wire had been broken down by the top ping of trees, which had fallen on it. The boy was returning to his home on horseback when the accident occurred. It had been raining all day and the street was muddy and wet at the time. The boy was riding along when the wire touched the cap he was wearing. He throw up his hands to release the wire, when the shock knocked both him and his horse to the ground. 1 he boy man aged to drag himself home, about four blocks away, where he remained uncon scious all night. Two of his fingers are burned almost through, the bones being burned out, and he has a bad cut in his head, where he fell on the graveled road. He is better today, but will lose two fingers. The horse he was riding was hardly able to walk. The wire was from the arc lights and wasch.irged with 2800 volts, According to reports, the Great'Nort h. ern has exceeded all other railroad com panies of the country in the extent to which it goes in fixing regulations for government of its employes. For several years most of the big transportation companies have prohibited the excessive use of intoxicants and exacted probity of conduct in personal affairs during- time of service with the companies. But the rumblings of the rail are freighted with sounds of discontent over the stretch of steel rails and ballasted road bed between St. Paul and the Pacific Northwest. An edit of the most high has gone forth to the effect that in future uniforms of trainmen employed on the Great Northern must be the* pioduct of an official tailor. It is seemingly a new method of fostering home industry—at St. Paul—for the order has been sent over the system that conductors, brake- men and porters shall hereafter order their apparel from the St. Paul tailor to whom a contract has been awarded. Heretofore the men have bought their clothing wherever it suited their con venience. * * * After heroically rescuing little 12-year- old Zoe Brown from the cold waters of the Willamette at the Portland Flouring Mills last week, Sumner Smith, the youngest son of W. K. Smith, the well- known capitalist, 351 Third street, drowned almost within the grasp of the men who lifted the child from the water. The child slipfied and fell through the broken railing on the guard of the steamer America and had hardly disap peared from sight before the unfortunate Smith jumped overboard to her rescue, and caught her just as she was sinking from view for the third time. In the meantime a small boat was launched from the steamer and hurried to the two. w ho were rapidly drifting down stream. Just as the boat reached Smith, who was supporting the unconscious form of the child, he became exhausted, and though the sinking child was saved young Smith was just out of the reach of the rescuing boatmen, who saw him sink less than an oar’s length from them. * * * An importer of radium at New York, gives out the startling news that the price of this latest product of the scientist has increased $4.200,000 a pound in two davs. The commercial rate last week was $8.400,000, now it is $12.600.000. So great has han the demand for a few grains that the supply on the market probably will have disappeared entirely by the end of the present month. SI * * H. T. BOTTS- B L. EDDY.
