either corn or wheat. Luxurious
meadows are the farmers' delight. A
positive way to get them, and the only

Grass Mixtures. Many of our farmer
readers praise them and say they get
4 to 6 tons of magnificent hay per acre
from Salzer's seeds. Over one hundred

How it May Happen. .
"Jeminy crickets, she's got the
rickets," whispered one ,beau to another in the company of a very pretty
girl. Truly she was very beautiful,
but there was a twitching about the
nerves of the face which showed suffering. "No," said the other, "its neuralgia and she's a martyr to it." St.
Jacobs Oil was suggested as the world-
renowned cure for it. Did she try it?
ITes and was cured by it and—married
"one of the fellows" afterwards. The
use of the great remedy for pain will
not bring about a marriage, but in its
cure of pain it will bring about conditions of health to make life more
enjoyable. JSTo man or woman ought
to marry who is a sufferer from chronic
pains. We should not .wed woe to win
only wretchedness.

CHAPTER X—Continued.
««We will go in at the side door,
and avoid the grand staircase," I said.
"Then I will get you to your room."
She made no answer.
' "Lady Latimer," I said,   "you have
still yourself to save.   You must make
an effort.    Can you hear me?     Can
you see me?     You must make one effort more, and save yourself.      Remember those lines—
"Don't tell me of to-morrow:
There is much to do to-day,
That can never be ace omplish'd
If we throw the hours away I
Every moinent has its duty,
Who the future can foretell?
Then why defer to-morrow ,
What to-day can do, as well?"
Quickly as loving, trembling hands
could work, I took from her the black
dress, the cloak and bonnet in which
she was going to travel. I put them
out of sight, and then I brought back
the blue velvet and pearls. She cried
out at the sight of it, and waved it
from her.
"You must put it on," I said.
"I cannot," she replied. ."I would
rather wear a shroud."
"You must," I said. "You must
put it on. You must color your face
and brighten your hair. You must
come down stairs and show yourself
in the ball room. Remember that you
have yourself to save."
"I—I can hot," she cried in despairing tones.
"You must," I repeated. . "You
must do it to save yourself, even
should you die directly afterward."
My strong will beat down her
weaker one. I dressed her. '■ I tried
my best to make her look as she had:
done before, but it was "as though I
had tried to dress a dead woman. I
Then I fetched some br,andy for her, \
and made her drink it.
A faint tinge of color came to her
lips. She looked at me once with
wild eyes.
"I hate youIV   she said;  and the^
words were like a hiss. "
"Never mind," I answered, "if you
can only save yourself."   .
I found her a large bouquet of fresh
flowers, and told her to hold it before
her face when she passed through the
ball-room, so as to hide her colorless
face. She did so; but when the time
came for her to return to the ballroom she could not walk.
"You must absolutely go," I said.

the local labor market, .-the depravity
of public and private morals.   "Man's
inhumanity  to   man,"   and   various
other topics that people, disposed • to.
cavil find time  to  busy  themselves
about.   Speaking of business depression reminds the Observer that he has
heard quite a little regarding   that
subject of late from persons who have,
had ample opportunity *to compare the
state   of  affairs   in   this city with
that in other places.   Not long ago a
well known  citizen   who  earns   his
bread in Mie  scriptural  way was  in
one of the  towns  about the- size of
Clare south of Saginaw, and on his return said to the Observer that. busi-.
ness was booming in Clare as compared with the   other town he had
visited.   Traveling men say that this
town has a splendid trade as compared
with most towns they visit, even of
twice its size.    Another veil known
citizen has. recently been a,t Cadillac
and other towns of that class north of
us.    The comparison made is favorable to Clare..    There  isn't a week
passes but some one, whose judgment
isn't to be doubted, returns to Clare
from some" other section of the state
well satisfied that after all he could,
not better himself by going away.    It
is only a few days since a prominent
professional gentleman returned from
the upper penninsula, where we are
told work is plentiful, convinced that
there is no opening in that part of the
country that promises better   than
Clare.    The observation   we   would
make is, that though times are not so
good as we could  wish in this city,
they are likely to be found worse elsewhere.

It makes the Observer shiver in sympathy to read what some of our ex-
canges say about the side walks blockaded by snow in some of our sister
towns. It must be terrible to wallow
through drifts waist deep..longing for
Fourth-of-July weather. As for Clare,
her Citizens know little of that discomfort, for, after every heavy snow,
long before the early riser is up in the
morning to inteview his thermometer
so as to get the start of his neighbor
on telling a low temperature yarn,
Hank Stevens and his snow plows are
out a-plowing, and middle of the forenoon is hardly reached before the remotest sidewalk in the city is cleared
of snow: Nor is the solitary family
that lives to one side of the regular
line of travel forgotten, but every one
is treated impartially. Clare may
have some things «to complain of
but it is not" of sidewalks blocked with
snow. We may wade ankle deep in
summer dust of mud on the- cross
walks, or fall out of sight through a
rotten side walk,butit does not require
an Alpine guide to navigatcthe streets
in'winter time. -

A certain clergyman says no newspaper that tells the truth and the
whole truth can .make a -pecuniary
success. We say by returning the compliment that the minister who will at
all times and under all circumstances
tell the whole truth about his members
alive or dead, will not occupy the pulpit
more than one Sunday and then he will
find it necessary to leave town in a
hurry. The press and the pulpit go
hand in hand with whitewash, brushes
and pleasant words, magnifying little
; virtues into .big ones. The pulpit, the
press and the gravestone are the great
saint making triumvirate.
To Enjoy Life
the physical machine must be in good
running order. A little care—the use
of Ripans Tablues—will give you every
morning the feeling that you are "glad
to be alive."

man with his big sample trunks, and
the man who must do business between trains. The employes in the
local F. & P. M. office, probably getting their cue from headquarters,
favjr separate depots, thinking thereby that their road would gain something in traffic. They suggest removing the present freight depot west
along the track and building a neat
pussenger depot where the express
office now stands. * This would be a
nice arrangement if that were the
only road, but it would pile up the
passenger and freight trains, and
make it awkward for the Harrison
branch train when it came in behind
time. Perhaps it is a minor point,
but a crossing at McEwen street
crossing would compel travelers to get
off the cars on the back side of -the
train. ?As far as the town is concerned, and in case'of a delay for any
cause, as is often the case,, ladies
would have to hang around the depot
until the train pulled out before coming uptown, or else clamber over the
trains as the boys do. No arrangement could be better than the old one
so far as the T. & A. A. trains are
concerned.
One night, after a delightful stay in
Victoria, I went on board a boat which
would leave at 6 o'clock in fme morning for Seattle. The day was pleasant
and the sea calm. On. our right,loom up
the great Olympic range of mountains
and on our left, the • Cascades, snowcapped all the year. Around the point,,
as we enter Puget Sound, lies Port
Townsend, a city of 2500 inhabitants;
further down the sound is Port Ludlow and Port Gamble, where are immense lumber mills. At Poit Blakely,
opposite Seattle, is the largest mill,
with the greatest capacity, in the
world. Coming into the Sound waters
we cross where the tides meet, one out
and one in. There we run against the
tide which is going out so rapidly that
it kicks up quite a heavy sea, and our
boat rolls as if in a storm. At 2 o'clock
we arrive at Seattle, the banner city
on the Pacific coast. This country has
a reputation, (and justly) for a climate
unsurpassed. While blizzards, drifts
and general discomforts enwrap the
whole region east of the Rockies, in
this favored region grass is green and

FASHION NOTES.
The popularity of fancy waists increases.
Orepon is still a favorite material
for party wear.
Collars of hand-made lace are very
much in vogue.
Spangled yokes are much used for
evening waists.
Veils belong to ail seasons and to
every style of hat.
White petticoats are very fluffily
trimmed at the foot..
The prestige of tweeds and cheviots
remain undiminished.
Moire, crime, paille,. genet, ebenier
and cleopatra are the new yellow tints.
Veils of chenille dotted tuxedo net
are favored for turbans and walking
hats. -      ,
Feather trimming is much used on
capes of velvet, moire antique and
satin.
The Greek twist is the most fashionable style of coiffure for youthful
women. •
Nothing is more useful, in a limited
wardrobe, than daintily-made silk
waists. .
Fancy velvets are in high favor for
combination with dressy silks and
woolens.
The ulster has been restored to favor, with the addition of a long cape
and a capuchin hood.
The box-plaited blouse, which is
known as the Norfolk jacket, has been
revived with modifications.
Silk point d'esprit lace is suitable for
trimming India and taffeta silk and
cotton point d'esprit may be used upon
wool etas, organdies and other washable
fabrics.
Trimmings are used with a prof us-
ion that is little sort of extravagant,
and they are applied upon both skirts
and waists, the latter receiving, by
far, the greater share.
Some of the latest black moire antiques are streaked irregularly with
wave-like lines, others show ovals,
flowers, dots and many other small designs. When this silk is chosen for a
young lady, it should be associated
with some of the fancy silks which
will be used for the waist. 'This mode
of development is much in vogue for
"best" gowns.

growing, rosebuds swell in the open
air, existence is delightful and  good
health universal. The resources which
are to make Seattle one of the  great
cities are almost unlimited.    The soil
in the country surrounding is rich for
farming, its valleys  rich  in timber,
and its hills rich in metal, gold, silver,
iron and coal.   Their value can not be
estimated.   It is the future for Washington to rank as one of the richest of
Uncle Sam's states. We leave Seattle,,
taking the jNbrthern Pacific via Ta-
coma and Olympia foi* Portland, Oregon.   At Kalama we ferry across the
Columbia river into Oregon, reaching
Portland two hours later.    Portland,
a very wealthy city, is situated on the
west bank of the Williamette river,
eighteen miles from its mouth, where
it empties into the Columbia.    East
Portland, across the river, is a  valuable suburb of 10,000 inhabitants; -Via
the O. R. and N. short line—part of
the U. P. system—we leave Portland,
rising gradually, reach the summit of
Mt. Tabor, named after Mt. Tabor of
Judea.   It is more like a large bill of
rich soil which grows fruit in abundance.   At Bridal Veil station a stream
of water comes dashing down the
mountain, and leaping over a very
high precipice the sparkling of its waters in the sun makes a beautiful sight,
and is called the Bridal Veil Falls.
Descending to the banks of the Columbia we go whizzing around the curves,
winding and unwinding, until we arrive at the Dalles.   When the locks in
the Cascades at Boonville are completed, navigation will  be  open  175
miles further up the river.   At  Ains-
worth on the Northern Pacific,   the
SnaWriver empties into the Columbia and is navigable for 100 miles. The
Columbia, like the Frazier  river in
British Columbia, is ren6wned for its
salmon fisheries. -The yearly revenue
from the Columbia is  three million
dollars.   One of the modes used   for
catching salmon is a large wheel, -30 to
40 feet in diameter, which is Gurned by
the current of the  stream.     On  the
back of the buckets or paddles is a
wire-screen bucket which scoops up
the fish as they come up the river, carries them to the top of the wheel and
dumps them into a spout which carries them into a boat lying along side.
This device is very destructive,   as it
takes up many small,   not-merchantable fish.     Above the Cascades are
many islands and bars of a  very fine
sand which, when dry, is blown by th$
wind in dense clouds,  in  appearance
much like a heavy fog, but does not
feel at all like one wbenit strikes you.
The Dalles, a city of 3000 inhabitants, is one of the oldest in the country. A Methodist mission was started
here in 1837 and a number of NTez Pereses Indians converted under the
preaching and teaching of one, Rev.
Spaulding. In 1847, Marcus Whitmore,
Congregationalism his wife and sixteen others were murdered by thi§
same tribe of Indians.   .
Eastern Oregon mountains aie only
great hills covered with green grass
and small timber, though numerous
cliffs along the railroad rise to a height
of 400 to 500 feet, and hang out clear
over the track. A number of accidents
are related, of rocks breaking off and
falling down on passing trains. At
Kamela we are at the summit of the
Blue mountains, 5500 feet above the
sea. About Pendleton,, through the
Walla Walla (Washington) country, is
said to be the richest soil and best
farming country on the coast.   At La
Grande one looks down the
round valley, a strip of prairie about
fifteen miles wide by thirty-five long,
thickly settled by prosperous, well-to-
do farmers, who have beautiful homes
and fine comfortable buildings for both
themselves and their stock. -This is
the finest grazing hill country I have
yet seen. Here is where you may find
your sleek and well-bred horses, immense droves of sheep constantly feeding on the hill sides, and in whatever
.direction you may cast your eye it rests
upon great bands of cattle. . Here,
truiy, are the "cattie upon a thousand
hills." No irrigation required in the
valleys. Here are the Umatilla Indians, and they are a lazy, .shiftless
set,while the Coeur d'Alnes are industrious, good farmers and good business
men, and are said to be the most intelligent of the western tribes.
At Huntington we cross the western
boundry of mountain time, and  "the
last call for dinner in the dining car?'
will now be heard  an hour earlier. -
Three miles east of Huntington we
cross the Snake river into Idaho. That
portion of Idaho traversed by the rail
road is mostly of a, worthless character.   Between the. Goose'mountains
arid portions'of the. Rocky range, is a
slightly rolling country, sandy soil and
upheavals of rock.    As we near Poe-
atello we find more grass  and * better
soil. The American Falls in the Snake
river are spanned by an iron bridge on
which the trains cross; the falls are-'
about a.quarter of a mile ■ wide. .. At
Shoshone a line of stages run to ].Sho-
shone Falls, twenty-five miles from thfc \
railroad.   These fails are 210 feet high ;
with one single leap of 180 feet, \the
second highest falls in the world. The."
Snoqualmy. Falls in Washington are ;
the highest, 268 feet..   The'scenery is
simply grand and beautiful and tour- /
ists find this a pleasant resort.    The:
Shoshone range ^ the best mining
north of Colorado, and good sales of
mining property are being made.    At :
Pocatello we take the U. and ST. narrow gage for Salt Lake, going over the
Uintah mountains.-   South from Poe-
atello every little plat of arable" land
is cultivated by the Mormons, who are
not only in Utah, but are thickly settled through the counties of Cassia,
Bear Lake and Birmingham, in Idaho.
Rising to the table lapds, we enter
the rich Mormon valley which extends
to Salt Lake. This valley will average.
twenty or more miles wide,  thickly
settled, here and *ohere a beautiful liV""
tle village, with a rich prairie soilj
every branch of farming and stock
raising is a success.    At Logan," ill
Utah, a city of 4,000, we stop for dinner, our first meal with the Mormon^
and if their, religion is as good and satisfying to body and soul as was that'
dinner, here's a convert.    ..
