r C Verbal ritfalls. A nice, very useful little book Ison the table of the Journal, published by Cf. V. Burden, yractfse, N. Y. It contains some fifteen hundred words commonly misused, and, by studying what Is said about them one will get a clear idea as to hun dreds of other words misused In talking and writing. It will estab lish a habit of criticism which is much needed. For Instance, "capa cious" is a word used fdr "large," ns a "capacious rent In hiscosturue." mm word means ability to hold or coutalu. Used Improperly It sounds 'like au Irishman's definition of a net as "holes tied together by a striug." So, character is wrongly used for reputation, when character describes what one is and reputation what one is esteemed to be, you can say "be ls'a bad character; ho has a bad reputation1." Sanitary and 'san atory aro used "indiscriminately, whereas they have different mean ings. Also tho use of differ with aud from is" distinctly pointed 'out. And so on. Tho work discloses a thousand err'6rs in common use. The book is as valuable for Svhat it suggests as for what it expresses, aud will be worth a hundred , times its cost to any 'one who uses'it. ' ' , (. : ' , A Ghost After Ills Shirt. A man of Findlay, Ohio, was killed over at Toledo. He left a red shirt in his'room and his room mate appropriated it." Yells and screams after midnight aroused the inmates of tho hotel who lound the poor devil frightened almost to death, swearing the ghost of the shirt Owner came after his property; A great laugh was raised at him and another1 person took the shirt and went to bed. Here is the denoue ment as given by a special: "At about the same hour that tho pre vious disturbance had alarmed the boarding house, the inmates were again disturbed by yells and screams of tho most terrlfyiug character, and in a moment afterward the young man with the haunted shirt in his hand dashed down stairs as if a ghost was after him, and took refuge under a table in the kitchen. He, too, declared he had been visit ed by the former owner of the red shirt, whose auger had been intensi fied by the second attempt to appro priate his intimate piece of wearing' apparel. "Now the garment has been hung in. the garret, but the boarders are letting the house almost en masse." A Wise Merchant. Thegreatmerchant, Stewart, grew rich by his judicious advertising. But he did not advertise as do our Salem merchants. No, he told peo ple what lie had aud for how much. As Geo. A. Townsend in the Boston Herald says: Stewart grew rich upon a small matter which can make many an other man rich if he will not .forget it; he marked his prices and he ad vertised his prices. The difference between an advertisement with or without prices affixed is all tho dif ference between a placard and a news matter. Here is the card of "Smithers & Lathers, white goods." the lady of the house reads this and can make no remark upon it. But the next advertisement of Robinson & Jones says, "White bito as low as two cents." That Is Information I and .the good lady immediately tells it to her daughter and husband ami starts down the street at the hour of eleven. The above hint to the wise mer chant of to-day ought to be suf ficient. Live mill Let I. lve. The Examiner compares tho sa loon to a mad dog, and discusses how to deal with it in a vigorous way. It sayfl: "There aro five ways of dealing with tho dog, one is to let him run loose and bite whomsoever he pleases; ttiat is free whisky. Another, feto tie .him jip with a long chain, and to tax his owner $50; that Is low license. An other Is to .shorten, his chain aud charge a good round sum; thai is MgU license. Ano'thet' is to 'drive him out of town Into the next' Vown; that Is lqcal option. But tho only effective way 1b' & cut life tall off close behind his iears; that Is 'prohi bition." ' But a 'majority of the people who .make laws don't think so, and until wo convert heni to our ways of thinking the dog must live. t Thousands aro afflicted with diseases of the Kidney and Urinary Orgsrfs, who suf fer la silence, rather than make known their troubles. To all those afflicted we can offer a safe and speedy remedy In Ore gon Kidney Tea, .which. Is composedqf herbs, selected with great care In Oregon, and warranted not to contain minerals of any kind.
