GOVERNOR OF OREGON
CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON.
A Letter From the Executire Offlce of Oregon.
ia known from the Atlantic to
the I acific. Letters of congratulation and
commendation testifying to the merits of
£ Pe-ru-nu us a catarrh remedy are pouring
1 g from ever y State in the Union. Dr.
llartman ia receiving hundreds of such let
ters daily. All classes write these letters,
from the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher—all agree that Pe-ru-na is the ca
tarrh remedy of the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est enray, are especially enthusiastic in
their praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is
well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent.
I e-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of ca
tarrh To prevent colas, to cure colds, is
to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru
na not only cures catarrh, but prevents.
Every household should he supplied with
this great remedy for coughs, colds and so
forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent ad
mirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it continually |
THE WORLD'S COFFEE SUPPLY.
Three-Fourths of All That Is Used
A- Comes From Brazil.
Coffee was originally indigenous to
Abyssinia, l'rom whence it was intro
duced in Ceylon and Java, but since
its introduction into the West Indies
and South America its original hab
itat has almost been forgotten. Its
cultivation in its native home has
been completely neglected. Brazil is
now the most important coffee pro
ducing country of tho world, produc
ing, according to the "Government
Crop Reporter," almost three-fourths
of the annual crop. Brazil's position
with reference to the coffee market
is much like that which this country
occupies as regards corn. Similarly,
while Chicago is the chief corn mart
of the world, Santos, in the State of
San Pau'.o, Brazil, is the chief coffee
mart. From this point about one-third
of the world's coffee commerce orig
inates.
How to Prove a Diamond's Worth.
4 " In detecting a false gem from a
! genuine, the X-ray can be relied on
with absolute certainty. Diamonds,
as is well known, are pure carbon;
and carbon, which is opaque to the or
dinary light, is transparent to tho
Roentgen light, while glass, which is
transparent to ordinary light, is
opaque to the Roentgen ray. On an
X-ray photograph of a real diamond
nothing will show but tho shadow of
the gold setting.
Genuine stamped CC C. Never sold In bulk.
Beware of the dealer who tries to sell
"something just as good."

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, >
SALEM, May 9, 1898. )
The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:
Dear Sire—l have had occasion to use
your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for
colds, and it proved to be an excellent rem
edy. I have not had occasion to use it for
other ailments.
Yours very truly, W. M. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru
na for other ailments. The reason for this
is most other ailments begin with a cold.
Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he
protects his family against other ailments.
This is exactly what every other family in
the United States should do. Keep Pe-ru
na in the house. Use it for coughs, colds,
la grippe and other climatic affections of
winter, and there will he no other ail
ments in the house. Such families should
provide themselves with a conv of Dr.
Ilartman's free book, entitled "Winter Ca
tarrh." Address Dr. llartman, Columbus,

LAND'S END SARDINES.
How Cornwall Fishermen Net Pil
chards for British Markets.
The old debate as to whether pil
chards are not Identical with sardines
has now been decided in the affirm
ative. According to Mr. Aflalo, the
word sardine must he taken to mean
indefinitely a small fish preserved in
oil, and not an Individual species.
This small fish may be a pilchard or it
may be a sprat. That is to say, nat
uralists do not recognize a fish called
tho sardine; tho word merely signi
fies a method of preparation. The
point may be disputed, but cannot be
controverted. Visitors to Cornwail
sometimes deny it on the ground that
tho pilchards shown to them are
larger than the average sardine, but
thoy should remember that the fish
are usually packed minus head and
tail, which means a considerable dim
inution in size. For centuries this
transformation of pilchards into sar
dines has been going on. We read in
Moryson's "Itinerary," a book familiar
to Shakespeare's day, that "the inhab
itants of Cornwall make great gain by
the fishing of pilchards, which they
salt and dry in the smoke, and export
a huge multitude of them yearly into
Spain and Italy." This practice of
smoking them gave the fish the name
of fumadoes, corrupted locally into
"fair maids."
'Tis the silver fair maids that cause
such a strife
'Twixt the master-seiner and his
drunken wife.
The fish are not preserved in this
manner now, but are piled and pressed
in layers of salt. Being thoroughly
3alted and relieved of superfluous
fluids they are taken from tho fish
cellars and dispatched in barrels to
the local or foreign "sardiners." The
difference in size between these Cor
nish "sardines" and those caught on
the coasts ol' France is really a result
of difference in netting, not in tho spe
cies of the fish. The Cornish fishers
uso a net with a comparatively large
mesh, this letting the smaller and
more delicate fish escape, but the
French, with a closer mosh, pay spe
cial attention to the smaller fish. The
men of St. Ives and Newlyn are very
conservative, as will be remembered
by their agitation on the Sunday
question; but the adoption of a closer
mesh would bo a move in the right
direction.

Bad Coughs!
j " I had a bad cough for six I
weeks and could find no relief 1

begins. A few doses will
cure you then.

BAMBOO FOR THE WORLD.
Am Almost Unlimited Supply in lite Pliil
ipplnes—lts flfnny Uses.
If, In the course of human events,
it ever happens that the Philippine Isl
ands should become a sovereign State,
part of or independent of the United
States, it needs no great stretch of im
agination to prophesy that its emblem
will be the stately and useful bamboo
tree, which is so beloved of all tbe
Filipinos.
To the visitor first viewing the isl
ands from the deck of an incoming
ship, the towering, bare trunks of the
bamboo, canopied with its turf ted top
of light, feathery plumes, that respond
with languorous, graceful waves to
even the softest breeze, make tbe most
noticeable feature of the landscape.
Not only is It met with in the wild
state everywhere, but the natives sur
round their houses, usually built en
tirely of the bamboo, with cultivated
groves of the trees, its bareness of
trunk up to almost its extreme height,
exceeding sixty feet in some eases,
and its broad, spreading top making
It the most desirable shade tree on the
islands. But, while Its use for shade
purposes is fully appreciated, the bam
boo is put to many more practical
uses.
Whole villages, varying as to struc
ture from the smallest hut up to the
large aud architecturally ambitious
church edifices, are built of the split
trunks of these giant trees. The wood
is tough, pliable and elastic, and houses
built of it by native experts have been
known to withstand the storms and
heat of several generations. And it
is wonderful with what rapidity a
house may be thrown together when
the bamboo Is used.
One temporary dweller in the centre
of the Island of Luzon, having to en
tertain some visitors, had an extensive
wing attached to his bungalow by two
Filipino carpenters in three days
roofed, floored, and ready for occu
pancy.
The bamboo is also used In the con
struction of suspension bridges, and on
the islands are many such bridges,
some several hundred feet In length,
over which a light train might safely
he run. Piping Is also made from the
trunks by a hollowing process, and
furniture, rafts, scaffolding, carts, bas
kets, vessels to contain liquids,
weapons, cordage, huts, mats, palings,
carrying poles, and many other useful
things are manufactured from the
tree.
It is also supposed to contain medic
inal qualities, as from it a white sub
stance is taken which the natives use
to allay the inflammation of the eyes
caused by the intensity of the sun's
rays, the more superstitious believing
El so that a stmie which is occasionally
ound imbedded in the larger trunks
contains the power to cure all the ills
that the body is cursed with.
Tliofie Poor Ricli Hoys.
While settlements and all those who
are eager to advance the condition of
the poor spend unlimited time in fur
thering schemes to give east side boys
a chance to play, no one thinks of the
poor, unfortunate hoys who live in the
better class flats on the west side. Yet
their case needs looking into even more
than the hoys of the slums, for the lat
ter, at least, have the freedom ol' the
streets. The flat boys have no public
playgrounds. They cannot play before
their own doors, because the janitors
won't have them there; they cannot
play across the street, because the jan
itor there chases them, and so it is with
every spot on the streets. Even the
centre of the road is restricted, for
they could play ball there if the law
did not forbid. As a natural result,
therefore, "Satan finds mischief" for
them to do, which usually gets them
under the eyes of the,policeman, and,
Indeed, often leads to, serious trouble,
and another boy gone wrong. As one
of these unfortunates sagely remarks,
"If the city would give us a place to
play ball and other games it wouldn't
need to pay so many policemen to
chase us all the time."—New York Her
ald.

The person with perhaps the longest
name of any person, big or little, in the
Western hemisphere, is blacking hoots

with the wealth of title will answer

one proposes to give him all that is due,

"I'll tell you what I'll do. mister.
I'll tell you my uame, and if you can
repeat it, I'll blaelc your shoes free.

Australia's Blackberry rear.
Blackberries thrive more luxuriantly
In Australia than In Europe or Amer
ica, their growth being so rapid that
In many places they are regarded as
an agricultural pest. Like the first
rabbits, the original blackberry vines
have grown and multiplied until they
bid fair to cover tlie face of the coun
try. The bushes are not cultivated—
they can look after themselves, as
many Australian agriculturists are
painfully aware—but the jam made
from their fruit Is sufficiently tempt
ing to make one forget their unwel

In cases where bronchitis has become
chronic from want of proper treatment in
the earlier stages, there is nothing so good
as Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast
Tea, in conjunction with which is strongly
advised the use of St. Jacobs Oil as an out
.ward application along the front of the
throat, from close up under the chin to
.well down to the top of the chest; the one
remedy assists the other, and as intended,
they work in complete nnison. The won
derful penetrating power of St. Jacobs Oil
enables it to reach the adhesion of foreign
matter which lines the bronchial tubes
and which makes breathing more and
more difficult. As these adhesions become
inflamed and enlarged, St. Jacobs Oil
causes such adhesions to break away,
making expectoration easier and more free.
Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea,
drank slowly and very hot, soothes and
heals the parts, is comforting and quieting,
stops the cough and relieves the breathing.
This manner of treatment (and there ia no
other two remedies that will work together
so successfully) reaches the difficulty from
the outside and the inside at the same
time. St. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of
the adhesion, and assists Dr. August Koe
nig's Hamburg Drcast Tea in clearing
them; then both remedies act in unison in
healing and curing. The above remarks
apply with equal force in cases of asthma,
croup, whooping cough, enlarged tonsils
and all bronchial affections. Every family
should have St. Jacobs Oil and Dr. August
Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea always in
the house in order that they may be
promptly used in the first stages. Often
the maladies develop with wonderful ra
pidity, and complications take place with
equal suddenness.
The British public use up nearly 800 tons
of cardboard yearly in tile form of post
cards.
JUNE TINT BUTTEB COLOB makes top OF

The Press an Americanizer.
The progress of Americanization of
the thousands of immigrants to this
country advances naturally because of
association, but another factor is
hinted at in the report of the census
bureau on the newspapers printed
here in languages other than English.
In the United States there were pub
lished in 1900, 17,194 papers in Eng
lish, as against 13,848 in 1890,
an increase of about 24 per cent. Dur
ing the same period the number
printed in other tongues declined from
1,053 to 1,026, although the number
of immigrants increased 1,210,538 dur
ing the decade. The inference drawn
from these comparisons is that more
of the foreign population are reading
the publications printed in English,
and in this way learning faster the
language and customs of the country,
and that they are depending less upon
the languages with which thev are fa
miliar. As to the nationalities that
are making the greatest progress in
this direction it would appear, from
the decline in their papers, that the
Dutch arc in the lead, notwithstand
ing that they are inclined to settle
in colonies, where the tendency nat
urally would be to continue the cus
toms and language of the mother
country. Next to these are the
French, most of whom are from Can
ada. and are fast becoming American
ized, even in many cases to the adop
tion of American names. The Ger
mans also are quick to learn the lan
guage of the country, and there are
114 fewer papers printed in German
than there were 10 years ago.
Care In Packing Good Fruit.
In a recent report by Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson regarding the re
sults from shipments of fruit to
land he states that the returns from
two lots of pears were 60 per cent,
more for the lot that was packed after
each specimen was wrapped in oiled
paper. It may be said that this result
was largely due to the fact that our
English friends were not familiar with
fruit put up in this manner and
bought it because of the novel way
of packing. Possibly there is some
thing in this, but, on the other hand,
it has been demonstrated time and
again that there is a market for good
fruit put up in attractive form. It
would not do to pack inferior fruit
in this manner, for it would kill the
market, but the very care taken to
pack the fruit attractively indicates
to the buyer t*at it is likely to be
superior to thai packed in the ordi
nary manner, hence ho is willing to
pay the additional price asked for it.
If one has some especially good speci
mens it will cost but a few dollars
for paper and baskets to try the plan
extensively and prove its value.
The Good Woman's Wish.
Arehbishcp-elect John M. Farley en
joys a good story as well as the next,
and when passing a social hour some
times recounts his experiences. At a
dinner given to the Very Rev. Dean
Liagr, in Yonkers several weeks ago
the Bishop related the following to
the delectation of the assembled
guests: "It was shortly after I had
been made vicar general or monsig
nor —I do not remember which—when
an aged Irish woman encountered me
on the street. She was a good old
soul and had been a member of our
parish church for years. Grasping me
by the hand, she remarked: 'Oh,
father, and sure the Lord bless you;
I hear they gave you a rise.' I re
plied that her information was cor
rect. 'Well,' she responded, 'an' I'm
pleased for that: it's yourself that
deserves the rise.' I thanked the good
woman sincerely, and was about to
leave lier, when, still holding my
hand, she remarked: 'And all I hope
is that the next rise they give you
will be to heaven."'
Web-Spining by Red Ants.
A remarkable exhibition of the web
spining powers of the red ant
(Oeophila smqragdina) has been re
ported by Mr. E. G. Green, of the bot
anic gardens at Peradeniya. Ceylon.
A breach having been made in a
structure of leaves on which they
were at work, the ants quickly drew
the edges of the leaves together, and
about an hour afterward they were
seen to be passing back and forth
across the gap two white grubs from
whose mouths issued continuous
threads of silk that the ants were
using to repair the damage. The lar
vae had evidently been brought from
•j neat some distance away.
of Richmond, Va., a great sufferer with
woman's troubles, tells of her cure by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
" DEAR MRS. PINKIIAM : For some years I suffered with backache,
severe bearing-down pains, leucorrhcea, and falling of the womb. I
tried many remedies, but nothing gave any positive relief.
"I commenced taking I.ydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound
in June, 1901. When I had taken the first half bottle, I felt a vast im
provement, and have now taken ten bottles with the result that I feel
like a new woman. When I commenced taking the Vegetable Com
pound I felt all worn out and was fast approaching complete nervous
collapse. I weighed only 98 pounds. Now I weigh 1091 pounds and
am improving every day. I gladly testify to the benefits received."—
MRS. R. C. TUPMAN, 423 West 30th St., Richmond, Va.
When a medicine lias been successful in more than a million
cases, Is it justice to yourself to say, without trying it, "I do not

Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and discour

Mrs. W. H. Pelliam, Jr., 108 E. l.aker St., Richmond, Va., says :
" DEAR MRS. PIXKHAM : —I must say tht Ido not believe there is any
female medicine to compare with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

what your medicine has done for me. Before
