The completion of the all-rail line known as the “Shasta Route,” between Portland and San Fran- cisco, gives the trans-continental traveler an oppor- tunity to patronize the famous dining car and Yel- lowstone Park route, The Northern Pacific Railroad.

C., and the only rail line to Jamestown, Bismarck, Miles City, Bozeman, Spokane Falls, and many other preminent Western points, it is only recently that rates between the East and San Francisco via this rcute were made practi- cally the same as by the older lines.

IN a primary school, the teacher had the little ones learn "The Barefoot Boy,” and told them about the author, John Greenleaf Whittier, whose birthday was to be so lovingly remembered. ‘' And now,” said the teacher, “who is this poet whose birthday is on Saturday, and whom you must all love?” The answer came clear and prompt from the small boy, whose voice is always heard in the land, ‘Mr. Bare- foot Man."—Buffalo Commercial.

Is life worth living? In the days of long ago people seemed to think it was, if the length of time they devoted to be- coming acquainted with its lights and shadows is any criterion. It would seem as though life must have afforded much of enjoyment in the good old days. Sopho- cles bung on until he was 130 years old, then perished by an accident. Attila was 124 when he died of the consequence of a revel on the night of his second marriage. This is a warning to young men. Epemenides was 157 at his regretted de- cease. Crowns did not sit so heavily on the brows of monarchs as they seem latterly to do, Fohi, the founder of the Chinese Empire, reigned 115 years, and so did Apaphus of Thebes Egyptian. ‘Tacitus gives 175 years to Tuisco, a German prince. Daddon, an Illyrian noble, lived for 500 years, according to Alexander Cornelius, The art of living seems to be one of the many “lost arts” which the dark ages covered over, and modern civilization has not yet been able to un- cover, It is certain long life was not secured by using mineral poisons as remedies for disease, That is essentially modern practice. The ancients doubtless drew on the laboratory of nature for their medicines ; hence the span of their lives was naturally extended. We know that our immediate ancestors found their medicines in the fields and forests adjoining their log cabin homes. These natural remedies were efficacious and harmless—left no poison in the system. Physicians were rarely called in, and the people lived to rugged and hearty old age. Is it not. worth while to return to their wholesome methods of cure for common ailments? H. H. Warner & Co., proprietors of Warner’s Safe Cure, have introduced to the public a line of Log Cabin remedies, and their name indicates their character. They include a ‘‘ Sarsaparilla,” “Hops and Buchu Remedy,” ‘‘ Cough and Con- sumption Remedy,” ‘‘ Extract for External and Internal Use,” ‘‘Rose Cream” for Catarrh, “Scalpine” for the hair, ‘‘Liver Pills” and “Porous Plaster.” They are carefully com- pounded from actual recipes, the most efficacious in use by our grandparents, and those who would like to try the virtues of old-time remedies have an opportunity to secure the best in ‘ Warner's Log Cabin Remedies.” Wrinkles, Black-He: Pimples, Freckles, Pittings, | Moles and Superfluous Hair ‘permanently removed, Flesh ‘increased or reduced.
