Homer Norton POST OREGON UNMARREO BY PLOW'S TOUCH Rolling Plains a Scene of Great Beauty Before the Advent of the Agriculturist Seventy years ago . . . Indians were Indians, and the plains were the plains Indeed. Those plains stretched out In limit less rolling swells of prnlrle until they met the blue sky that on every hand bent down to touch them. In spring brightly green, and spangled with wild flowers, hy midsummer this prairie had grown sere and yellow. Clumps of dark-green eottonwnods marked the courses of the Infrequent streams for most of the year the only note of color In the landscape, except the bril liant sky. On the wide, level river bottoms, sheltered by the enclosing hills, ine Indians pitchtd their conical skin lodges and lived their simple lives. If the camp were large the lodges stood In n wide circle, but If only a few families were together, they were scattered along the stream. In the spring and early summer the rivers, swollen by the melting snows, were often deep and rapid, but a little later they shrank to a few narrow trickles mnnln? over a lied of sand, and sometimes the waier sank wholly out of sight George Bird GrlnnelL Queer Drugs Once In Uee. Alchemy and medicine, as It was practiced In the early part of the Fif teenth century, had many strange be liefs. Among them was that a roasted mouse would cure cannon ball wounds If It was hound tightly to the fracture, and old blood could be made young again by transfusion. Every starheam was thought to he n thread of light that ran directly to the head of some living man, and his fate was deter mined hy Its action. It was also be lieved that rock crystal was Ice that had been hurled a thousand years, and that gold was once lead, that after being hurled 200 years changed to red arsenic and 200 years after that was changed to tin and then to sliver and last to gold. A favorite treatment for gout was a tea of daisy peiiilw and cures were many, although the resl secret was In the fact the phyalclans put the patient on a diet and a rest cure went with the flowers. NEVER GAVE U? A PROSPECT Salesman Would Walt but He Had Ne Idea of Losing Sight of Possibility. Pome years ago I went Into a store to hupilre the prhe of something, an exiensle thine this was. that I wanted to buy some day when I hud the price, says a writer In the New York Herald. They were Just nice to me as they would have been If I hsd come to ready to buy and p snk down the cash. Then for the time being I forgot al) about It, hut they didn't. About a year after my visit to the ttore the salesman I hud seen there einne In to re 'lie. He wi a very agreeable gentleman and In no way Insistent; he had Just looked in on the chaw that now I was ready to buy; but my bank account hadu't looked up to any great extent and I was not ready, as I told him; luil I added that when I was ready 1 would come In, kiul I would come to him. Thst, I thought, ended It as far as hearing from them wan concerned,' hut not so. A year later I had another call from the salesman, my friend. If he will now permit ine so to call him, on the same errand : a pleasant coll and a pleasant little talk, hut with the same result as before; and now, a year to a day after that second call, he has been In to ee me again. We had our usual pleasant little talk, and then I asked him : . "!on't yon ever give up a prospect?" To which he answered, smilingly: "We never give up a prospect till he dies." ,HWnmmmwmHemmmmej Cornett Stage Co.

It conMsts of a triple stockade cm losing a number of underground dungeons which are pitch dark and almost devoid of ventilation. But this Is not all. The wretched pris oners condemned to Inhabit them are shut up separately In heavy, Iron clamped chests. In shape resembling coffins. There Is a small hole In the side of each. Just big enough for the poor wretch Inside to thrust out his head or his manacled hands. They see daylight for but a few minutes dally, when their food Is thrust Into their box-prisons through the hole. They can not lie down flat, they enn not sit, for they are not only man acled but chained to the coffins. The majority are In for life sentences, and no prisoner Is ever allowed out of his box under any circumstances, excep! when he Is to be executed or, as hap pens very rarely to he set free.

The mixture of races that have con stituted the French people of today hns determined tbe principal physical characteristics of our people. Thns It has been found, writes the Paris correspondent of the Journal of the American Medical Association, that the average height for men Is 105 cm. (5 feet 2 Inches). The observations Indicate thnt 85.10 per cent of the French people have chestnut hair. The blonds are next In order, forming only 12.32 per cent of the population. Pure black hair Is found In 1.83 per cent that Is, slightly more frequently than red hair, which altogether was found In only 0.72 per cent of cases. Pure black hair, so rare In France, Is the rule in certain Mediterranean countries (for Instance, In definite re gions of Spain). Very light blonds form the majority of the population of northern Europe. Best Sprinkler. Many persons must have noticed that the most diligent sprinkling of lawns and flowerbeds fails to Impart to the grass and plants a vital stimu lus equal p that that comes from a good shower of rain. It Is because rain, falling from a great height through the air, brings with It a considerable quantity of car bonic acid, of nitrogenous particles, and of other elements nutritious to plants, which It has washed out of the atmosphere. So a Rprlnkler URed from the top of a tall building might be slightly more effective than when employed at the surfuce of the ground.
