r ^ WORDS OF WISDOM. : A fact never apologizes to anybody. A little world always makes a little man. If you would be pure in mind be pure in habit. Every little act is the child of a great principle. The man who wears blue glasses nevei finds the sunshine. If you want to come out right, be sure to get started right. If you are in the wrong place yout right place is empty. The man who does his best, does as well as an angel can do. One of" the biggest cowards is the man who is afraid to do right. The shadow of a trouble is always blacker than the trouble itself. To have to look at himself is the hottest fire a bad man can get into. The hardest man to please is the one who never knows what he wants. There is always plenty of room for the man whose life is governed by a fixed principle. A cheerful disposition will do more for w, you than a pedigree running back to the Maj flower. Talne of Old Official Stamps. ' Most of the official stamps of the departments at Washington are at a premium. These are of tbe dates 1871 and 1873. The one-cent carmine executive Btamp is worth $2.50 and the six-cent carmine $3; the one-cent Department of Agriculture yellow stamps thirty cents, ^ and the twelve-cent of the same seventyfive cents; the Interior Department re main3 at a standstill in value; the sevencent blue Navy Department $1.50 and the mnety-center $2.25; the Treasury, Postoffice and War Department stamps all fluctuate in value, but the green stamp of the State Department can be considered anywhere from twenty-live cents to $20, and any dealer "will pay that. That's about all of the stamps of the Internal or Revenue Department issues there are. But none of them can beat the patent medicine bottle and match box stamps.?New York Neics. A New Tropical Frnlt. ! Carl "Willing of the government nursery has sdnt to this office a specimen of a new fruit, which resembles a large yel low gur.va more than anything we have. The seed, however, grows on the outside on tne flower end of the fruit, and resembles a thick kidney bean. The tree grows abundantly in the West Indies and South America, in size rather small, like the guavn. In Brazil it is called c&ju, and in the West Indie3 cashew. We ^ have not had a fair chance to test its quality as a fruit, but should place it alongside the Tahitan vi or the finest of our large guavas. Hon. Joseph Marsden brought some of the seeds of this fruit from the West Indies several years ago, and these trees probably sprung from them.?Honolulu Advertise,'. j ^rnm ! The Tasmanians Were Backward.

Interesting Things About tlie Homes and the Home Life of the People ot Mohammedan Countries ?Inquisitive Beauties. Even under the prevailing iron system of seclusion the beauties of Islam are not wholly cut off from the civilized world. Men, indeed, are absolutely forbidden to approach them, and so strict is this prohibition that it extends itself not merely to foreigners and unbelievers,but to those of their own race and creed and even to their nearest relations. From the day of her marriage to the day of her death a Moslem bride must never see or be seen by any man save her husband. But with lady visitors it is quite a different matter. Seldom, indeed, does the most jealous and fanatical of Mussulman huslands ob 3ect to aamit tnem to trie society 01 ms wives, and, in fact, sucb visits are often looked upon by the honest Bluebeard in the light of a favor rather than an affront, inasmuch as it keeps his own ladies in good humor for the time being and saves him the trouble of doing anything to entertain them. Let us suppose that you are a European or American lady traveling along the North African seaboard and about to pay a visit to the caged beauties m the home of some great Moorish dignity in Morocco. Following the two tall, redcapped, white-frocked Moorish soldier3 sent to conduct you, you thread your way through a cobweb of narrow, gloomy, filthy lanes, almost blocked at times by heaps of dust and garbage, among which numbers of gaunt, wolfish dogs are rooting hungrily. Meanwhile your two guides xi r? i Clear uie way lur juur iiuisc ur uuuauj through the eddying whirl of men, boys, camels, asses, horses and old women by constant shouts of "Cheloh! chelohl" (look out) and remorseless punches with the brass-shod butts of their rifles. At length you halt in front of a high, bare, windowless wall, the only visible opening in which is a deep, shadowy porch of the key-shaped form, peculiar to Saracenic architecture, edged with curious fretwork, and brilliantly painted with alternate stripes of crimson and blue. This leads into a marble pared quadrangle with a tiny fountain splashing and tinkling in the centre? the "patio" of the Spaniards, in fact, borrowed by them from their Moorish conquerors. Shady colonnades run along its four sides, above which are cloistered passages protected by screens of lattice work. And now you discover why the outside ol a JVloorisn noase is always windowless. for -with a jealous precaution thoroughly characteristic of the East all the windows open upon the inner court! Visitors being frequently received in the court itself, it is strewn with mats or carpets and shaded from the weather by a colored awning, which subdues the burning African sunshine into a rich summer gloom of purple twilight, such as that which fills the aisles of some vast cathedral. Beyond this lies a spacious saloon, with a richly carpeted flcor and a paneled ceiling, for which any Venetian noble of the fourteenth'century would gladly have given half his yearly revenue. No chairs are to be seen, but the soft cushions scattered about the floor and the velvet or damask bolsters placed along the sides of the room show where the inmates are wont to squat or reclinc. The upper part of the wall is frescoed with appropriate texts from the Koran in quaint, arrowy, Eastern char acters, wnne aiong tne jower pare aamask hangings of white, scarlet or blue mask the doorways of several bedrooms from which three or four steps of polished white marble lead dowu into the saloon itself. Suddenly the hangings of a curtained archway at the far end of the room are thrust aside, and the master of the house in person comes forward to greet you?a stately old Eastern gentleman in flowing Moorish robes, whose long silky beard is as white as the many folded turban that overshadows it. He puts his hand to his forehead in graceful oriental salutation, and begs you (in broken French or Spanish if you do not understand Arabic) to consider his house and all that it contains as your own, after which you are requested to 4 'honor with the touch of your foot the threshold of his home." Following the old gentleman's guidance, you are led through a maze of dark passages and low doorways till you feel as if playing a never-ending game of hide-and-seek. At length you halt before a flight of broad marble steps leading up to a high archway, through the curtains of which come the ripple of fe male voices and the silver tinkle of girlish laughter. Beside the steps stand like bronze statues two gigantic black slaves, gorgeous in white and crimson, with drawn swords gleaming in their huge bony hands. But at the sight of the "master" and the "Faringhi khanoom" (foreign lady) the sabres arc lowered in salute, the curtains fall back and you are ushered into the midst of a scene which appears to have comc bodily out of the "Arabian Nights." Before you lies a large and lofty room, the shadowy interior of which looks delightfully cool and shaded, after the blistering glare outside. The rich Persian carpets leave enough of the floor uncovered to let you admire to the full one of those miracles of ornamental Mosaic which are still the wonder of all who visit the Taj Mahal or the Alhambra. from the vaulted roof hang splendid silver lamps of the kind tamiliar to those who have seen the mosques of Tunis and Cairo. Tall vases filled with gorgeous flowers stand ranged along either side of the entrance, and above the silken hangings that clothe the lower walls rows of stately arches rise in all the splendor of their fretwork, lighting up with one great rainbow the dim and dreamy twilight of that enchanted palace. At the far end of the apartment is a small, high roofed alcove, raised somewhat above the rest of the room, from which it is separated by a movable silver balustrade somewhat like a large turnstile. This recess is lighted by a swinging lamp of embossed gold, filled with perfumed oil, the soft- light of which is flashed back in a thousand sparkles from the countless tiny mirrors that cover like scales the whole surface of the wall. In the alcove sit or recline upon soft cusnions aoout a aozen women (some 01 them cot yet past girlhood), representing all types, from the sleek, tiger-like beauty of the Circassian to expressionless features of African Jaloof. At first sigl^HgXn like an airy cloud of white drapery, and only by degrees do you take in the details of the long white veil swathed round the forehead and floating down the buck, the loose, widc-slecved embroidered jacket over a thin white bodice, the broad jeweled girdle, the trousers of flesh-colored silk and the dainty little pointed slippers, stiff with gold lace and richly embroidered with seed pearls. Just at first they are rather shy of you, but this soon wears off, and when freed from the overawing presence of their portly lord and master,they crowd around you and chatter to you like children, exhibiting with childish pleasure the jewels, chains and bracelets which hang on their smooth necks and round arms as thickly as tinsel on a Christmas doll. The first thing to be done is to give you some t green tea, which replaces coffee in Morocco. The sprig of mint that floats in it is almost as{*reat an addition as the lemon juice used in Russia, while the accompanying sweetmeats of almond paste, mixed with sugar and orange, flowers bruised into honey, are equally novelties in their way, and the quaint little handleless cups, set like flowerpots in silver stands, would make any collector's mouth water. "When you have drank your three cups (the regulation number in Morocco) the the ladies offer you a long pipe of East em tobacco navorea witnrose water, ana express great surprise at your refusal. Then they begin to criticise your dress? which they examine with marked interest and disguised amazement?while asking you all sorts of questions; and when the time corues for you to depart you you hardly know which to wonder at most?the extreme ignorance of your new friends or their insatiable curiosity.?Brooklyn Citizen. Loss in Hotel Furniture and Carpets. The greatest expense of all about a hotel, of course, is in the furniture and carpeta. These have to be renewed in part every year regularly a9 the dull months of midsummer come around. The carpets in the big rooms are taken nn ?nd dnwn And nut into the small rooms. The carpets from the small rooms are taken up and sold. The carpets on the second floor are put down on the top floor, replacing those that are carried away to the second hand dealers. The chairs and sofas are upholstered or recaned. Those that have become rickety with age are sold and new ones take their place. It pays a hotel to buy the best. Good beds, bureaus and chairs will last, with repairs, for ten years or longer. But tnese repairs muse De maae constantly, and new goods must be supplied continually. If it costs $100,>000 to newly furnish a hotel with furniture and carpets, it is safe to estimate the annual repairs and purchase at twenty per cent. Perhaps it may fall as low as fifteen, but it is oftener twenty-five. The second hand dealers buy the old furniture, renovate it and sell it at a handsome profit, for most hotel furniture was made for use and is of good material. There are several east and west side dealers who make an exclusive business of buying and selling hotel carpets, and here, too, there is a good profit. Hotel keepers estimate that their worn out carpets bring them in one-quarter their original cost, and their furniture nets them ten per cent. In some hotels there is no charge to the employes in the ordinary breaking of china, but in most bier hostelries some system of compensation is devised. In one large Madison square hotel a peculiar method is in vogue. When a waiter, for instance, drops a loaded tray on the floor, the head waiter or one of his assistants hurries to the spot, and scooping the fragments into a dustpan he throws the lot into a pair of scales and the waiter is charged a certain sum per pound for his carelessness.?New York Herald. Tnmble Weeds Stopped the Train. Probably most of the readers of the Oregonian have seen or heard of the tumble weed, for the benefit of any who have not it may be said that it is a bushy plant growing eighteen inches to two feet in height, having, a small root and the branches all curving inward at the nriTTinnr flip fnll.orrnwn xunAfl n rrlnKn. VV/fJ W O MVV?V.0iVWU lar shape. These weeds grow and flourish on summer-fallowed lands in parts of Eastern Oregon and especially along the line of the Oregon and Washington Territory Railroad between Hiut's Junction and Pendleton. In the fall when the summer fallow is seeded,the harrows tear up these weeds, but as they are tough and wiry and are not broken up much, they lie around on the fields like balls. The first wind starts the balls rolling, and away they go for the first fence or railroad cut. The line above mentioned is not fenced, and a short time ago these weeds piled into the cuts on it about Helix, in some places as high as the headlight of the engine, and on account of their being crushed under the wheels and "greasing" the track they held a train loaded with stock all night on the line. A gentleman who was on the train saya that the weeds coming skipping over the banks into a cut in the dusk of evening looked for all the world like a band of sheep following their leader into the cut. ?Portland Oregonian. Bal>j Ion's Method of Marriage. According to the statements of the "father of history" it appears that in, Babylon, that wonderful Asiatic metrop-1 olis, all the young women, without exception, upon arriving at mai riageable age, were sold at auction to the highest bidders for wives. There was no reserve in this matter. No father had any right to dispose of his daughter's hand; she must be vended under the hammer. With the rich men of Babylon it was a point of vanity to buy the most beautiful girls offered at the periodical sales and to present to their friends any such lovely chattels as they did not need for themselves. The custom was to first offer for market the most beautiful maidens, and after they were disposed of the plain virgins were fetched up and bonuses offered with each to any one who would buy them. And here came in what one must recognize as an admirable point in this arrangement. All the money paid by the rich men for the young ladies they selected went to make dowries for the uuattrjrctive girls, which were duly paid -ifi spot casn to tne poor men, who were thus made happy with less JBcductive brides.? Washington Siar. ?'f*op me a line," yelled the drown, ^ xn. "What's the use?" said the ggggMLst on the dock. "There's no where you are going."?Life. American Naval Conflicts. Since the organization of the United States navy its vessels may be said to have been engaged in seven distinct conflicts, namely, the Revolutionary war, the naval engagements with the French in the West Indies, the war with the Barbary States, the war of 1812, the Mexican war, the Civil war, and the attack on the Corcan forts. The last named is only noteworthy because of its distinctiveness. In the Revolutionary war, aside from the Bon Homme Richard and Serapis affair, there was little actual fighting work upon which to base an idea of the capabilities of the American seaman as a gunner. It was not until Truxton, with the Constellation, came to the fore in the West IndiaD fights with the French that we hear of men going to the guns, "waltzing," and laying hold of the side tackles with characteristic vim. The fight between the Constellation and l'lnsurgente is deemed the first affair when the stamp of high gunnery merit was impressed on the American navy. In this fight the Constellation compelled l'lnsurgente tc strike her flag in one hour after the opening shot was fired. It has been calculated that the Constellation's gunners placed seventy-five per cent, of all their shots in the hull of the Frenchman. It must be remembered, too, that during this affair a moderate sea was running, and every advantage had to be taken of the roll of the ship before firing. The Constellation's gunners fired just as their vessel was about to roll to ward the enemy. The JP'rencn gunners fired mostly at the moment when l'lnsurgente" was about to roll away from the Constellation. In navy parlance these two rolls are designated as the down and up roll, respectively. It is the rule in the American navy to fire on the down roll. There is always the advantage in firing in this way, from the ricochet, should the projectile strike the water before reaching the enemy. In the ConstellationI'lnsurgente fight the former vessel suffered mostly aloft. Only three men were killed, one of whom was cut down by the third lieutenant for flinching at his gun. Out of 409 men on Tlnsurgente seventy were killed or wounded.? New York Times. Getting Sea Temperatures. Herr Luders, of Gorlitz, has recently Invented a thermometer for ascertaining the temperature of the depths of the sea. Its action depends on the different electric conductivities of substances at different temperatures. Inside a glass tube are fixed a spiral iron wire and a bar of carbon, which only touch at their lower ends. Their other ends are connected to copper wires, which constitute an electric circuit, and in this circuit there is a galvanometer which indicates the differences in the current due to the variations in the temperature of the contents of the glass tube. A curious complaint in regard xo streets, coming from Philadelphia, states that the baby coach is Chestnut street's greatest nuisance. The odor of white flowers is for some unknown reason supposed to be more delicate than that of colored flowers.

You'd be lieve in patent medicines if they didn't profess to cure everything?and so, between the experiments of doctors, and the experiments of patent medicines that are sold only because there's money in the " stuff," you lose faith in everything. Arid, you can't always tell the prescription that cures by ? what you read in the papers. So, perhaps, there's no better way to sell a remedy, than to , tell the truth about it, and intake the risk of its doing just what it professes to do.

Y., does with * Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, Favorite Prescription, Pleasant Pellets, and 4 vDr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
