Self Denial Is Rare.
"The average human being does not
■want to live hyglenically!" exclaims
the editor of Clinical Medicine. And
he backs up his assertion with the fol
lowing:
"One© we published an account of a
case of diabetes we had treated with
some success. A distinguished retired
army officer read It and as a conse
quence called upon us. We began to
explain the regimen necessary when
lie Interrupted to say: '1 don't want
any diet 1 want you to give me a
treatment that will allow me to eat
anything I want. In any quantity!' We
resigned.
"Mr. Man doesn't want to stop drink
ing or smoking or working or playing
too much. What he wants of us Is the
means to keep on as he has been liv
ing. Madam does not relish our advice
to cut down her bridge parties, loosen
her corsets and quit gorging. She
wants medicine to restore her youth,
take off her fat and enable her to keep
it up until she has had enough.
"They all come to us, not for reform,
but to be enabled to go on sinning."
Sea Water Salt.
The salt Industry of San Francisco
bay is one of farreaching importance,
and the method of production Is sim
I pie in its operations since the finished
[ article is the result of evaporating the
sea water. Claim is made that more
snlt is thus made here than auywhere
else in the world. Water is collected
in prepared shallow ponds, where, aft
er evaporation has been comjiieted, the
salt is shoveled Into small railway
cars, taken to the refining works, re
melted and crystallized out in vacuum
pans. It Is washed and cleaned.
About a year elapses from the time the
sea water goes Into the ponds until
the product Is ready for the market,
because the evaporation from the sur
face of the pouds is only about twenty
eight Inches a year, over and above
the natural rainfall. The process usu
ally starts in May or June of each
year, so as to take as much advantage
as possible of the warm period of the
summer.—Argonaut
Degrees of Pain.
Thero are degrees of pain, as de
grees of faultfulness, which are alto
gether conquerable and which seem to
bo merely forms of wholesome trial or
discipline. Your fingers tingle when
you go out on a frosty morning and
are all the warmer afterward; your
limbs are weary with wholesome work
and lie down in the pleasanter rest:
you are tried for a little while by hav
ing to wait for some promised good,
and it is all the sweeter when it comes.
But you cannot carry the trial past a
certain point Let the cold fasten ou
your hand in an extreme decree, and
your fingers will moldcr from their
sockets. Fatigue yourself btvt once to
utter exhaustion, aud to the eud of
life you shall not recover the former
vigor of your frame. Let heartsick
ness pass beyond a certain bitter point
and the heart loses its life forever.—
Ruskin.
Mark Twain on Genders.
Our ability to personify a sea ship by
nsing the prououn "she" and to keep
the Zeppelin in place as "It" brings out
ono strong point of our language. It Is
impossible to be so subtle in French,
which has no neuter, or In German,
with its arbitrary scattering of gen
ders. Mark Twain gave as a typical
instance of good German: "Wllhelm.
where Is the turnip?" "She has gone
to the kitchen." "Where Is the accom
plished and beautiful English maiden?"
"It has gone to the opera." Mark went
on to observe that In Germany a tree
Is male. Its buds female. Its leaves
neuter; horses are sexless, dogs male,
cats female, including tomcats. "By
some oversight of the Inventor of the
language a woman Is a female, but a
wife (welb) is not"—London Mail.
The Right Door and Another.
A Junk dealer In an Indiana town
had been persistently suspected of act
ing as a "fence" for stolen goods and
finally was arrested on a charge of
that kind. However, after a Jury trial
ho was acquitted on a technicality.
Commenting soon afterward with a
friend on his acquittal, the Junk dealer
said, "A long experience In the junk
business leads me to believe that the
door of success Is mighty close to the
door of the penitentiary, and if a man
Is not careful he Is likely to take the
wrong door."—Indinnapoiis News.

FORES! FIRE
IS TARARA
Valdez, Aug. 3—Forest fires are
1 aging from the coast to the Tan
ana river along the govarnjnent
trail and no^ reach a'jvidgr feection
than ever known, since white occupa
tion. 1
Many of the bridges and culverts
have already been destroyed . Col.
Richardson 'is doing all possible to
sive remaining sections of the road
and bridges'and to protect govern
ment properly assembled at Bome
oi the interior stations.1
The long dry 6pell in the coast
mountains has given the fire plenty
of fuel upon .which to feed. Those
returning from 'the Interior over
the trail state that the smoke
hangs like a pall over a good part
of Alaska They believe that the
fire will travel 'farther In the
timber than ever before, although
there are indications that j: radical
ly tbe whole of the Interior coun
try was burned over at some pre
vious date, long before white peo
ple came to Alaska.
Speed of Waterfowl.
Waterfowl have great powers of
flight. The canvasback duck covers
from 130 to ltto feet a second. The
blue winged teal and the green -winged
teal, tbe bluebill and tbe redheads are
only a little slower. Mallards, pintails,
wood ducks, black ducks and others
can easily fly faster than a mile a min
ute. Even such large birds ns cranes,
swans, pelicans and geese can fly at a
speed of more than 100 feet a second.
The speed of waterfowl haB often
been measured with great accuracy.
Two men take positions on a duck pass
a measured distance apart The first
man carries a stop watch and a gun,
the second a gun only. As the fowl
pass the first blind the timer shoots In
order to frighten the birds Into full
speed and starts bis watch. As the
ducks pass the second blind the man
there fires a shot, and the timer stops 1
his watch. The usual length of the
course Is a quarter of n mile, although
a mile "track" is sometimes used.—
Youth's Companion.
A Lasting Window Polish.
There is an art in washing windows,
and if they are properly polished the
operation need not be repeated for a
long time. A really good polish will
survive several rainstorms and will
only require tbe dust to be removed
occasionally with a dry cloth. The ln
gkle of the windows should be washed
with tepid water, without soap or pow
der of any kind, rubbed dry with cha
mois and polished with cheesecloth. A
solution for cleaning the outside should
be made from onu ounce of pulverized
whiting, one ounce of grain alcohol,
one of liquid ammonia and a pint of
water. Spray the window with clear
water to remove surface dirt, and ap
ply the solution with a soft cloth. Let
this dry on. Afterward polish with
cheesecloth or tissue paper. If the
glass has been badly scratched a filling
may be applied. This consists of an
ounce of white wax dissolved in tur
pentine. It should be applied before
the polishing.—Washington Star
Better Still,
"But," Bald a student of one collego
to a friend who was attending a rival
Institution, "your college never turns
out gentlemen."
"Of course it doesn't," replied the
other. "It allows gentlemen to go right
on and graduate."—Providence Trib
I une.

Grubbs—Why does young Litebrane

Hard Water.
Do you realize how hard water Is
when a boat sails through it nt full
Bpeed? Water passing at fifty miles
an hour'is not the limpid liquid we are
accustomed to bathe lu. If you put
your arm overboard from a hydro
plane running fifty miles an hour and
strike a wave crest the probability Is
that you will break your anu or wrist,
because at that speed the water has
not time to give or even to change
shape, and striking it is like striking
so much metal.
If a swordsman should enter one of
the great hydraulic quarries, where a ,
stream of water under enormous head i
Is used to wash down hillsides, and at- j
tempt to cut Into one of those streams I
his sword would fly in pieces without j
being able lo penetrate the water. The |
stream is like a bar of iron.

"And you are afraid of the dark

"Yes, ma'am."
"But there's nothing in the dark to

"Well, that was in the dark, wasn't

The Grocer's Euphemism.
"Why is it that the berries at the
jottom of your hoses are always so
nuch smaller than those at the top?"
isked Mrs. Newlywed.
"Ah, madam," said the grocer, "you
lon't put It quite correctly. You
ihould ask why the l>errles at the top
)f the box are so much larger than
hose at the bottom."—Judge.

Ho Lived as a Woman.
John, alias Elizabeth Itusscll, died
at Streatham lu April, 1772. at the age
of 10-1. Early In life Itusscll associated
himself with the gypsies and went
wandering over the continent. Re
turning to England, dressed as a wo
man, he set up at Streatham as a fe
male doctor and fortune teller, and
among other things was "an excellent
sempstress and celebrated for making
a good shirt." Among his acquaint
ances was Dr. Johnson, who, finding
the supposed woman shrewd and sen
sible, was fond of conversing with
"her." Russell died suddenly, when
his sex was discovered, "to the extreme
amazement of the nelghborhood."

A New Back for au Old One. How
it Can bo Done in Alaska
Tlie back aches at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary- and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region of the
kidneys, aud again the loins are
so lame that to stoop is agony. No
use to rub or apply a plaster to the
back i£ the kidneys are weak. Al
askan residents would do well • to
profit by the following example.
John I. Conger, prop., printing
shop, 845 N. Seventeenth St., Sal
em, Oregon, says: "My back got
weak and sore and my kidneys did
not act as they should. At times
I could hardly 'straighten. Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me relief and it
took them only a short time 1 to
:id me &f kidney trouble. I pub
licly endorsed them several years
ago and am glad to do so again."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pili£—the Bame
that Mr. Conger had. Foster-Mil
