Two or three yours ngo in a dozen cities, notably Kansas City, Omahn, and Wichita, Kansas, Los Angeles and San Diego, city additions, away out in corn iiehlsand potato patches, miles from town, were oelng platted and sold ns town lots. Speculators bought and sold this suburban prop erty ns worthless stocks are hawked 011 'change. Prices wont up, and up, until it seemed "top prices" would never he reached. Hut top prices were reached and the credu lous souls who paid them are now "holding the bag," so to speak. Such a result was inevitable. Heal estate, like everything else, is worth much or little accordingly as its earning power or the value of its Ubo Is large or small. To tills test must all values come, and wherever real estate has reached a valuation above this standard, a reaction has swept away the fictitious valuation and left Investors who expected speculation to prolong indefinitely a system at once vicious and unstable to count up their losses. AVo have frequently directed at tention to the great Held for real estate speculation to be found in Salem, and our readers havo been advised to invest In Sulem city prop erty. Side by side with the decline in values in other cities has been a steady appreciation of values in this city. At no time havo prices weak ened a point, and still tho tendency is upward. There has been a great ndvanee in property within tho past year. Within tho twelve months there will bo an advance of 100 per cent. In tho valuo of all clashes of property, and on some classes a still greater upward movement. Under such circumstances, with tho city growing and extending Its bounda ries at an unprecedented rate, with values yet much below thoso pre vailing In other cities, there Is no room whatever to doubt that Salem leal estate will quadruple In valuo before prices settle a hair. Put your money In Salem real estate. "There's millions In It." Frequent and moderate rain Is the most effective of all sanitary agencies. It cleanses the ground, and, what is far moro Important, it cleanses the ar. The ammoniacal and other exhalations, contlma'ly rising from decomposing animal and vegetable matter, arc all more or lcis soluble in water and are largely removed by gentle rain. Besides this It absorbs and carries down into rivers and thence to the sea the ex cess of carbonic acid exhaled from our lungs, and produced by our fires and lights. De Saussuro found tiiat u shower of rain removed about 2.5 per cent, of the carbonic acid from the air over Lake Geneva. Also that there was less over the lake than over the neighboring meadows and the great elevations of the Alps where there was no water. The atmosphere over iho sea contains less than one-fourth of the quantity in that over the land. Far away at sea the quantity is unappreciable, and at a given place on the coast it varies with tho wind, increasing as it blows from the land and vice versa. All those facts show that water in contact with the air ab sorbs its carbonic acid in a decidedly practical degree. In densely popu lated districts this is of considerable importance. Tho dlfierenco is per ceptible to tho senses after a long drought, as tho common expression "refreshing showers" Indicates. WHAT THEY WEAR. Wateb Is not the only physical agent concerned in carrying the earth's solid materials from place to place, modern investigation prov ing that dust carried by the wind produces astonishing changes in the configuration of the land. The thick deposits covering ancient ruins are now believed to havo been largely brought by the air. A French geographer, after referring to Richthofen's description of, a yast aerial soil-formatlou in China, men tions having seen on the flanks of high mountains in Mexico clay strata not deposited by tho waters nor by the decomposition of tho rocks, but produced by the dust raised from the plains by the winds and left on the hills. These de posits vary from 100 to 300 feet in thickness, growing finer with tho increase In height, and ceasing at the limit of vegetation. WOltl.l) KNOl.ISIl. The problem of n universal lan guage Is not solved by Volapuk, on account of tho difficulty of keeping In mind the numerous endings which distinguish number, gender, case, tense, mood, cto. As a more promising system, a modltled form of English for a world language Is suggested. English Is from tho ob jectionable lulleetlons, and It is al ready reaching out toward univer sality. While tho language must remain substantially as at present, a few simplifying changes would un doubtedly bettor tit it for interna tional use. Fon a thousand years, at least, Ohiiibo has been tho most used lan guage on tho globe. It is now spoken by over 400,000,000 peoplo; Hindustani, which comes next in extent of use, by over 100,000,000 ; English, by about 100,000,000 ; Rus sian, by over 70,000,000 ; German, by over 57,000,000 ; and Spanish, by over 47,000,000. Evidknch exists that deaf mutes are not confined to tho human race, la a farmer's herd for twelve years was a cow which never gave any signs of hearing, and whoso ovldent attempts at lowing resulted only In a feeble guttural. Nothing abnor mal could be discovered in tho ears nor in the vocal organs. Tin: Injurious ellects of many liquors are ascribed to furfurol. This is a colorless liquid, with a cinna mon odor.

Post ofll dating. This announcement conveys tho intelligence of tho nuptials of two of Salem's mast honored society members having been celebrated. Tho event was a quiet and unos tentatious one, only tho family and a few near friends having beon present. Following tho. ceremony tho couple received tho congratula tions of tho assemblngo of friends and took the overland train for Southorn California where they will pass tho first few weeks of tho honeymoon.

At tho family resldenco In Salem, Jauuary 11, 1SS0, at 1:30 a. in,, of heart disease, Mrs. Mary A. Long, aged 00 years. Last night she retired lu common health and slept soundly until about 12:30, when she was taken suddenly ill and died In loss than an hour. Tho funeral will occur from tho family home 011 Sunday aftornoou at two o'clock. Among serviceable petticoats, nothing ts better than those of biscuit calico, with three flounces embroidered in self color.' Tailor mode parasols to match gown and bonnet are among tbo lost suggestions ol the enemy of which good dressers will beware. A boon to bedraggled humanity is the water proofed silk umbrella that dries itself with a single shnko and which is too new" to havo as yet got tho general use it deserves. London's crazo just now Is Pekin inch wide stripes, In stuff of cotton, wool, silk or linen; and if tho effect is not given by con trast of color it is brought about in the man ner of weaving. Gowns of whito pongeo havo tho blouso and full sleoves deeply honeycombed, and a honeycombed panel at the side as well, or cho thoy nro trimmed with many lcngthwiEO rows of laco insertion. Big hemstitched handkerchiefs of pongee can bo bad in nearly all tho summer colors, and nro among tho most useful of small wraps, as they can bo cither shawl, collar or flchu as tbo wearer 1ms a mind. Sailor collars of moiro or velvet, and gath ered scarfs of china crapo sewed in tho shoulder and crossing at front nro nmong tbo trimmings used by good modistes upon waists of silk, foulard or grenadines. Leather or leather colored silk is now" much used for tho trimming of walking toilets, which are finished with hats topped with leather colored plumes, and a bow of leather ribbon tied jauntily on tho parasol. 'Vord conies from Paris that whito and cream gowns nro less seen than last season; on the other hand, hardly a colored gown but has whito accessories, either vest, collar, culfs, panel, petticoat or front of skirt. Whito skirti are reserved for evening wear, and aro trimmed with lace, insertion and embroidery quito nt discretion, though it is well to remember that flno simplicity is far und away better stylo than course orna ment. To wear or not to wear whito at throat and wrists is now a wilting if not burning quixs tion, and though then) is something moro of latitude than in seasons past, the weight of authority inclines to tho retention of lin gerie. A new and charming effect in tho much iibod Gieel; "key border," is mado by form ing it of narrow ribbon, over which, after it is sewed to tho gown, small velvet rings are fastened with embroidery 6titchos of tho same color. Futilards just from Puris recall nothing so much as foim and color in general insurrec tion, being streaked, splashed, dotted and spotted in moro wnyb than oer before oyo saw, ear hcaul, or iteuteied into tho heart of man to conceive. That is a pretty young fashion for the uvemtig gowns of pretty young girls, which mukos tho waist u full blouso, low, but not too low w itU n wreath of rosebuds twined about tho neck und lulling down to loso it self in tho folds of a bof t bash.
