Ellensburgh Reaiiter: Tbe home bill
locating tbe state agricultural fair at
North Yakima passed the senate with an

state fair, which is next in importance to

Moat butter-tuskers wash their butter
when in a granular state in the churn.
They do this under the conviction, born
of long experience, that better results fol
low this method than by uslag the old
method «f working oat tbe buttermilk.
It has long been demonstrated that
water in no way injures the flsvor, grain
or keeping qualities of butter, but that
it washes out all caaeous matter and
other impurities which might injurs it.
If the batter comes soft, the water in go
ing through it has a tendency to cool it
and harden the granules so that it will
pack better and be in batter condition for
salting and working.
Ellensburgh Captfat. The Yakima peo
ple last Tuesday invited our citisens to
join them in celebrating the passage of
the bill locating the state fair there. It

motive of good feeling. There ia no cause
for any other feeling betwt*-en tbe sister
cities of the eaatera slope, and Ellens
burgh heartily congratulate* Yakima on
her good fortune.
Ellinsburgh localizer: North Yakima
has secured the location of the state fair
and aa appropriation of f 10,000 for the
purchase of a site and the equipment of
the sams and other necessary expenses
for its maintenance. We are pleased that
Yakima has gained the prize, because
the location is central and is accessible
to all parts of the state.

Hair to Clean lira...
Brasß, to be kept in proper order, should
be cleaned at least once a week, which it
is tbe custom in households with well
trained domestics to have brass andirons,
lenders and other fire-place furniture
given a light rubbing *very day. In
cleansing brass it must first be relieved of
all canker and other spots to which the
metal is subject from contact with acids,
exposure to water or other causes. An
application of alcohol, spirits of turpen
tine, benzine or keroiene will generally
remove all ordinary spots on brass, unless
very old spots, the metal in some cases
seeming so perfectly to absorb foreign
substances, that the removing of them
amounts almost to an impossibility.
Spots removed, there is no more certain
cleansing and polishing application for
brass than rotten stone and oil. Rotten
stone usually comes in lumps. Before
using for polishing brass it must be re
duced to powder, and in this state it
quickly dissolves to a smooth consistency
when mixed with olive oil. A thin psste
of the preparation should be rubbed
lightly on the metal, and when perfectly
dry it should be rubbed nil' vigorously
with a flannel cloth, the finishing polish
being given with the powder dry, and
subsequent rubbing with a clean flannel
cloth or chamois skin.
Catarrh Cannat be « uirii
With local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Cartarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surface. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is not a quack medicine. It was
prescribed by one of the best physicisns
in this country for years, and ia a regular
prescription. It is composed of the beat
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combina
tion of the two ingredients is what pro
duces such wonderful results in curing
catarrh. Send for testimonials, free.

New York Herald: This happened in a
little town in Southern Illinois not many
days ago. It is ia a section where tbe
farmers' alliance is strong and a lodge of
that organization exists in the town.
They meat Monday nights.
There is only one lodge room in the
town and on Tuesday nights it is occupied
by the local blanch of ths Knights of
Pythias.
The president of one of the country
sub-alliances came to town one Tuesday.
Ha had visited the town alliance, and
when he saw the lights in the lodge room
concluded he would go over and condole
with the brethren over the defeat of Bu
chanan.
He gave the proper knock at the outer
door. The wicket waa raised and an ear
was placed at it to bear the password.
"I plow, I hoe, I spade," whispered the
alliance man.
Tbe ear was replaced by an eye, and it
in turn gave place to sioutli, which whisp
ered in reply:
"Ths h—l you do," and the wicket
dropped with a bang.
The indignant farmer shortly afterward
met a "brother" to whom he told his tale
of woe.
"Why, dad blame it," was the sharp
fmutuant of tbe brother, "them's KnigMa
of Pythias and you've given 'em our pass
word."
"Dogged it I aint," was tbe response;
"but (brightening up), durn 'em, I've got
theira."

The l-iieiimntii Tabs Test.
The success which attended the first
official test ol the pneumatic tube lor
mail transit at Philadelphia gives promise
of a wonderful revolution in means of
communication and traffic between differ
ent localities. The tube ia over half a
mile long, and Postmaster General Wan
amaker sent a Bible wrapped in an Amer
ican flag through it in one minute and
three seconds. This was at a rate of
forty-five feet per second, with a pressure
of six pounds to the squsre inch. Subse
quently two bouquets and later a pair of
shoes, loaf of bread, fruit and otlie arti
cles were transmitted. To prove tbe se
curity of this method of transit a gold
watch was sent through the tube. Post
master General Wanamaker and Pos
niasler Field highly commended the new
system. The Electric Pneumatic Transit
company constructed the tube st its own
expense, and as the recent teat was satis
factory it will turn the plant over to tin
federal government for one year and oper
ate it meantime free of expense. The
government will then have the option ot
purchasing the plant at its original cost.
$25,000. The public will watch further
experiments of the pneumatic tube with
great interest.
An old almanac for 1814 gives the fol
lowing as tits rates of postage prevailing
st that time: "For every single letter by

17 cents; 500 miles, 20 cents, snd for
more than 500 miles, 25 cents. No allow
ance to be made for intermediate miles.
Every double letter ia to pay double the
said rates; every triple letter, triple;
every packet weighing one ounce, at the
rate of four single letters each ounce.

At a marriage in Wisconsin recently
the bridegroom stood 6 feet 2 inches and
tbe bride 3 feet %% inches in height. The

He was a professional gambler. He
bad two dice boxes and two clay marbles.
He called tbe boys around him and pro
ceeded to manipulate his marbles and
boxes on tbe bar.
"Now, gentlemen," said he, "I'm no
worker of miracles; I can't heal the sick
nor raise the dead, but I'll put this marble
under this cup and bet yon a twenty it's
under the other cup. Come, who'll open
the ball? Speak, lively."
Silence followed. Then a flashily dressed
confederate of the gambler elbowed bia
way to tbe front.
"I'll bet she's there," he said, and laid
down his money.
"A*>d there she is," exclaimed the
gambler. "Here you are—4o in tbe long
green. Once in a while I'm caught just
in that way. Come, hurrah, boys—who's
next? Here's the marble —you can see it
go under the cup. Now, I'll bet yon
either way."
Three rough hands were raised with
three twenties, when a husky voice
shouted at the edge of the crowd:
"Hold in yer bronchos, boys. I'm the
first nan to bet." A burly individual in
a blue shirt and broad-brimmed hat
pushed bis way to the bar. "Now, per
fesser, I'm ready fur ye. Lift up yer
box. There's the ball, dead to right!—
Bee it fellers?"
The "boys" answered aflimatively.
"Here's a twenty, perfesser," went on
the husky-voiced man, "an' I bet the
ball's under that cup. 'Cause why?
'Cause I am a rational man, aa' we're
all rational men—we belive what we see.
We seen the ball under that cup an' its
got to lie there, an' I'm bettin' it is there.
If it ain't there, they's been a hocus
pocus, and that kind o' work don't go
down with this liver community." The
husky-voiced man produced a six-shooter
about as long as a Winchester. "In my
opinion I'm bettin' on a dead sure thing.
Lift the cup, perfesser."
The six-shooter was cocked with an
ominous "click," and the husky-voiced
man looked the "perfesser" squarely in
the eye.
The gambler ami led in a sickly way,
coughed, herniated and wouM have said
something had not a pair of determined
steel-gray eyes given him fair warning.
He raised the box—the ball was there.
"1 thought so," said the liuskv-voiced
man as he pocketed the money. "If you
want to take any more U-ts, --erfesser, I
reckon the boys'll ai-ooiMßOdaU ye."
But be didn't. He faded out of the sa
loon and Amu.hi.is knew him no more.
A liui-lur o» ••! tint Had Taste."
When a patient complains of a bud
taste in his mouth every morning on
waking up, Ihe lir.it question I H.ik him is
as to the position he uasuuies when going
to sleep. An immense number of people
sleep on the left side, and this is tbe most
common cause of the unpleasant taste,
which is generally attribute!l to dyspe|>aia.
If a meal has been taken within two or
three hours of going to bed, to sleep ou
the left side is to iiTve the stomach a task
which it is difficult in the extreme to per
form. The student of anatomy knows
that all food enters and leaves the stom
ach on the right side, and hence sleeping
on the left side soon after eating involves
a sort of pumping operation which is
anything but conducive to sound repose.
The action of tbe heart is also interfered
with considerably, and the lungs '.re un
dnly compressed. It is probable that ly
ing on the back is tbe most natural
position, but few men can rest easily so,
and hence it is best to cultivate the habit
of sleeping on tbe right side. It is very
largely a matter of habit, and the sooner
it is acquired the better for the sleeper
•nd the worse for the physicisn, or more
probably for the patent medicine vender.
