DRESSER STEPS IN SUCCEEDS C.B. MOORES AS REGISTER OF THE LAND OFFICE. Goci Into Office With (food Prospects For a Successful Administration He Came to Clackamas Comity 15 Years Ajo. Algernon S. Dresser, city attorney of Oregon City, for four years deputy district attorney of Clackamas County and a Joint representative from Clack amas and Multnomah Counties in the session of 1901, succeeded Clias. B. Moores as Register of the Oregon City Land Office Friday morning. He took hold of routine xnatterss at once and with his well trained legal mind and his growing knowledge of land law, there is no doubt that Mr. Dresser will be Register in effect as well as in name. Mr. Dresser is 45 years of age and comes from the State of Maine.( He came to Oregon in 1885 and settled in Columbia County, coming to Oregon Oity in 1887, and has practiced law over since. He assumes the office of Register with the best wishes of the people of the city for a successf al ad ministration. THE Pt.HlHATETIC BEAR. Simmer Out Inn: of a Mother Grlrrly and Her Young: Onci. There Is a donl;of Olseusslon nroonj lunters after big game In the nioun tains concerning the sort of fathers and husbands grizzly bears make, says a writer in Outing. The consensus of opinion seems to be that bruin Is an un faithful, heartless spouse and a con temptible father. He will help Mme. Bruin seek a cave or an opening in the Tocks or mountain side, where their cubs may be. born, and he will carry a dainty morsel, such as a sheep, a calf or part of a cow's carcass there for his mate's food. However, a few days after the cubs are born In the family circle he will leave the home, probably never having any further ac quaintance with his spouse and her offspring. Thereafter Mme. Bruin must .make her own way and provide for her cubs. Unlike the black bear, which Is a jolly, fun loving father that rolls and frolics with bis baby children; the male grizzly will have nothing to do with the cubs. Mme, Grizzly and her chil dren are companions for two summers, and they hibernate rolled together in a ball of fur for about 100 days, dur ing the coldest days of winter. The mother bear and her young trav el far and wide, moving principally at night. Kit Carson said that too wide range of a family of healthy grizzlies In a summer season is almost incalcu lable. He had reason to know of a mother grizzly and her two cubs that once left their hibernating cave among the southern spurs of the Rocky moun tains in New Mexico ouo spring in the forties, crossed the Colorado and Wy oming, were seen in the mountains In Montana and were back in New Mex ico again for another winter before the following October. Fedlarreea of Arabian Horses. The Arabs have no written pedi grees. It is all an affair of memory and of notoriety In the tribe. Certain alleged pedigreed of Arabian horses, couched In romantic language and rep resented as carried In a small bag and hung by a cord around the animal's neck, have been published, but these are forgeries got up probably by horse dealers, Egyptian, Syrian or Version. The breeding of every horse is a mat ter of common knowledge,, and it would be Impossible for his owner to fabricate pedigree so as to deceive the natives, even if he were so Inclined. The Bedouins, it seems necessary to admit, are In general great liars, and they will lie (to a stranger) about the age, the qualities or the ownership of a horse, but they will not lie about his pedigree, even when they can do so with impunity. To be truthful on this subject Is almost a matter of religion, certainly a point of honor in the des rt. Atlantic. Animals That Uellsrut to Play. . In animals the faculty of amusement awakes very early. Our four footed friends seem to bo aware of this and make It a part of their parental duties to amuse their young. A ferret will play with her kittens, a cat with hers, a dog with her puppies. A mare will play with her foal, though the writer has never seen a cow try to amuse her calf nor any birds their young. If their mothers do not amuse them, the young ones Invent games of their own. Lon don Tit-Bits. The Tempi oi ciopnn, The Greek Archaeological society has decided to restore the Doric temple of Jupiter nt Nemea, situated near the haunt of the famous Nemean Hon, the slaying of which formed one of the feats of Hercules. The edifice was over thrown by a succession of earthquakes, and only three columns are now stand ing. But the fallen shafts that He around the temple are so little injured that it is believed It will be possible to re-erect them and the fallen entabla ture without much difficulty or ex pense and without having recourse to new material. As soon as the ground around the temple has been cleared of the litter of fragments that now in cumber it the Greek government in tends to begin excavations on the spot and horcj to make valuable discover- THE SALT IN THE' SEA. me hmwttaf ObMt-ratloae Oae mt Ratar Waaaera. The very fact that the waters of oceans are salty ia a wonder within it self. That such Is the case everybody knows, but why? Rivera are not salt, neither are some of the very largest of inland seas, yet one school of scien tists will tell you that these same seas Gakes) are the remains of what was once a universal ocean, that there was once an upheaval of the land and that all the waters settled in basins except that which drained off. If this is a fact, why are these lakes or seas now fresh T Don't tell me, says an investi gator, that it is because they have been evaporating through the long centuries and that the vacancy has been sup plied by fresh waters from rivers. Great Salt lake is no less salty now than it was 3.000 years ago and prob ably a great deal more so. The water of the Caribbean sea is dense compared with that of the At lantic in the vicinity of the Cape Verde islands, the proportion being eleven to twenty-one. Why is this? It is cer tainly a fact that they are both of one body of water. The variety of saline matter found in all sea water is univer sally the same. There is another fact which should bo mentioned while we are classifying sea water that is this: When the sultnexs of oceans is refer red to, it must not b understood as be ing the table salt of commerce (chlo ride of sodium), for there ore many other salts In the solution. Expert hy drogruphers tell ns that there are enough of these various suits held In suspension in the waters of the oceans to cover the whole landed surface of the globe to a depth of 1,500 feet in other words, that there Is 00,000,000, 000,000,000 tons so held In suspension! The sea is salt by reason of the earth washings which are poured into It MAXIMS OF1 SUCCESS. The truest wisdom Is a resolute de termination. Napoleon I.

Be what nature Intended you for, and you will succeed; be anything else, and you will be ten thousand times worse than nothing. Sydney Smith. Thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are more frequent in Java than sln any other part of the world, there being an average of ninety-seven days in each year upon which they occur. Next to Java comes Suma tra, which never has less than eighty six "thunder days" per year. Then come Hindustan with 50, Borneo with 84, the African Gold Coast with 02 and the -region around Rio de Janeiro, Bra zil, with 51. The Europeun list is head ed by Italy, with 38 thunder days out of the 305 on an average. Austria has 23; Baden, Wurttombcrg and Hungary each average 22; Silesia, Bavaria nnd Belgium have 21; Holland and Saxony 18; France, Austria and south Russia 1C; Great Britain and Switzerland only 7. At Cairo, Egypt, and In north Rus sia and in Sweden and Norway the av erage Is only 4 per year. In Finland and east Turkestan thunderstorms are wholly unknown. By Mosart. The average compositor has a most intense dislike for contractions and rarely puts one in his pages when it can be avoided. When be and the re porter disagree as to the meaning of some abbreviation, the result is some times amusing. A good example of this occurred in a southern city where a" popular touring orchestra was giving a Sunday night concert Naturally their selections were principally of a sacred character. Next morning the Dally announced: "The second part opened with a splendid rendition of the 'Overture From the Twelfth Massachusetts, by Mozart' "Harper's. Followed the Example of Cato. In the first year of the last century London affected great admiration for Cato's suicide, the feeling being arous ed by Addison's play.

His body was recovered, and on it was found a lcrn of paper with these words: "What Cato did and Addison approved must needs bo right" Always the Mode. ,"You don't care much for display?"

The classical garden, like a sonnet L governed by special laws of harmony and rhythm. It must have Its live hills. Its ten trees and Its fourteen stones. Ton can get along without the hills, and you can get along without the trees, but you cannot get along without stones. Indeed the perfect type of the flat garden is nothing but an archipelago of rocks in a sea of white pebbles. The stones must be the foundation; the rest are mere ac cessories. Speaking stones are what is wanted stones that suggest moods and passions for the Japanese recog nize that there are sermons in stones. Each stone has its name and relative place in the composition. There la the guardian stone in the center and opposite it the bellevlew stone. Across the cascade is the moonsbade stone and so on. The bills unmask each other by rale. The principal hill has its two foothills. Its spar hills, its distant peak, seen through a valley, and the low hill that must stand on the opposite side of the lake, ' As there are a principal stone and a principal hill, so must there be a "prin cipal tree," the shojln boku, around which the Tree of Perfection, the Tree of Evil, the Tree of the Setting Sun, the Tree of Science and the Tree of Solitude bow their lesser heads. These are the essentials. Now, add one pond, one island, two stone lan terns, three briev es and mix thorough ly, garnish with lotus and serve with goldfish and mandarin (luck. There is a recipe for a Japanese garden. Wil liam Verbeck In Country Life. . A SMALL LIBRARY. The Principle of Selection on Which It Should Be Based. I think that a limit of three books will usually allow a very fair repre sentation of a novelist. For Instance, Thackeray is very fairly represented by "Vanity Fair," "Henry Esmond' and 'Tendennls" and Dickens by 'Tlckwlck," "David Copperfield" and "Martin Chuzzlewit" Walter Scott would not suffer by one choosing "Ivanhoe," "The Bride of Lamnicr- moor" and "The Heart of Midlothian." "Tom Jones" would suffice for Field ing and "Pride and Prejudice" for Jane Austen, "The Mill on the Floss" for George Eliot and "The Ordeal of Rich ard Feverel" for George Meredith. Taking only the great outstanding fig ures, Tolstoi need only be present with "Anna Karenlna" and "War and Peace" and Emile Zola with, say "Drink" and "The Dream." "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monto Christo" would suffice for Alexandre Dumas and "Les Mlserables" and "No tre Dame de Paris" for Victor Hugo. It Is harder to say of the vast mountuln range of Balzac on what partlcul peaks our choice should fall, but prob ably here again the most popular books will prove the most typical "Le Pere Gorlot," "Eugenie Grander" and "The Ass' Skin." I am not it must be understood, mak ing a UBt of books "without which," as the booksellers say, . "no gentleman' library Is complete." I atn only taking a few standard authors for the purpose of illustrating a principle of selection which must perforce operate in a small library. If our library docs not or can not contain the best books. It roust cer tainly contain some of them, and, how ever idiosyncratic of its owner, it must bear the stamp of a general distinc tion. Richard Le Galllenne In Success. Foretells Death by Sense of Smell. There's an eld superstition that ; howling dog in front of the house of an ill person portends death. One prominent physician believes absolute ly in It. This physician has a wonder fully acute sense of smell. Frequent ly, he says, he can foretell the coming of death within forty-eight hours of a patient's demise. Within two days of death, ho says, a peculiar earthy odor becomes 1 noticeable about a person libout to die. He tells of one case where he became aware of the pe culiar odor while talking to an ap parently healthy man. Thnt night the man dropped dead of heart disease. The physician is far from attributing the peculiar manifestation to other than physiological reasons. His own sense of smell Is abnormally acute. New York Press. Hotel Bills In England. The author of "Portugal Old and New" finds fault with English hotel keepers for using a printed form of bill on which the plain requirements of a simple traveler are lost amid a multi tude of items. The result Is that when a guest pays for a day's nnd a night's lodging he Is positively almost ashamed at finding due registry of his having wanted neither liquors nor stationery nor worm baths nor douche baths nor shower baths nor pots of jam nor the hotel hairdresser and is apt to reflect what a poor shuffling Impostor of a guest he is to have had so few require ments. SHarhtly Different. "Dat were a very excltin jnckpot I won las' night on a bluff," said Mr. Erastus Plnkley as he tilted his cigar and dropped his hat over his eye.
