si ii ta "MAIL ORDER" Cream Separators "When you buy a cream separator you want the best machine you can get for the money, don't you? Well, then, just listen to this proposition: Before you order a "mail order" separator write to the concern and tell them that you want to try their machine out against a De Laval, with the priv ilecre of sending their machine back if you decide that the De Laval is better worth what we ask you for it than their machine is worth what they ask. That's absolutely fair, isn't it? We'll be glad to furnish you a De Laval for such a trial any time you like and let you be the judge. We are clad to make this offer because we know that the De Laval will give you better service and cost you less in the long run than any other machine you. can buy, no matter what the price. If you already have a mail order separator, or any other for that mat ter, which isn't giving satisfaction, we have an exchange offer that we believe will interest you. Before you buy a Creanl Separator see and try a DE LAVAL VAUGtUN & N r University of Oregon Summer School. JUNE 23, AUGUST 1, 1913.

Our French iirtists do beut the Dutch turning out fashions that are extraordi narily risque, picturesque and peculiar ami among these is that rooster with whiskers, the Faverolle. a breed that is gaining ground in this country with those who want birds for beauty as well as utility, and Mr. Mutlle Chops for both does till the bill. The varieties of the breed comprise French ' Salmon, French Black and 4r Photo by C. M. Barnlti. SALMON FAVKliOLLE COOK BIRD, French Blue, English Salmon and English Ermine Faverolles. Their origin is France, but the Eng lish rooster tinkers claim to have made some improvement and thus at tach their trademark to two varieties. The distinctive characteristic's of the breed are the whiskers, live toes and feather leggings. The whiskering does not grow Uf over the eyes to obscure the vision as in some bearded breeds and is a dis titii't advantage in winter, as it pro tects against cold. The fifth toe is no so useless as with the Houd.iu and Dorking, but is useful for extra licks in garden destruction. Faverolle chicks are hardy and ma ture rapidly, the pullets maturing early and making heavy winter layers.

Repulsive In Looks, It Is Really a Harmless Creature, 1'robably there is no other living creature more feared by the Ignorant t luiu the Gila monster, about which all manner of weird .tales Imve been told. It lias even been held that the mere breath of this animal is suUR-ient to cause death to the one upon whom it fell. Scientific inquiry, however, fails to disclose a single Instance wherein th breath or eveu the bite of this civature has resulted fatally. The fact that dissection mid microscopic examination do not reveal any truce ot glands for the secretion of venom is sufficient evidence to indicate that this curious member of the lizard family has been slandered. Some years ago a civil engineer In the southwest undertook to settle once for all the question whether "the mon ster" was deadly or not. A fine speci men was captured and confined in a wire iuclosure. A chicken was obtain ed, and its feathers were removed in order that the lizard might have every opportunity to strike at the breast The chicken was then held quite close to the Gila monster, which soon snap ped viciously and secured a firm hold on the fowl's breast, retaining this grip for more than ten minutes. When the victim was released it was found that the chicken's breastbone had been bro ken. Nevertheless the fowl quickly recovered, the bone knitting and the wound healing with no symptoms of poisoning. It is very probable that the reputa tion for evil borne by the Gila mon ster is due simply and solely to its most repulsive appearance. Harper's Weekly. THE UBIQUITOUS SEA LION. He Strayed a Long Way From Home Before He Was Killed. The following story is taken from the American Magazine: "Suuday is a dull day. and the city editors had a habit of detailing men to go to the zoological gardens and get animal stories for Monday morning The reporters got together one Sunday morning and persuaded the head ani mal keeper to let them publish a fake story. It was rather commonplace, concerning the alleged escape of a non existent sea lion from the pool to open water. "'Fake.' said the managing editor ns he read the story. 'Let's make It a good oue.' "Thereupon he sent telegrams to ev ery country correspondent on that wa ter or its tributaries, merely Inquiring If anything had been seen of the es caped sen lion. The response was ap palling. The correspondents needed only the bint. That day the sea lion was seen by at least twenty corre spondents, and Berghand printed all the reports one after another. Thus spurred, the correspondents went to It In earnest. The following day the sea Hon was reported at every point with in 200 miles. The story spread like ripples on water. !n five days the lion was sighted over half the world, and an enthusiast at Southampton cabled that he was heading toward the north sea. Then a cruel correspondent up on Lake Superior killed him and wired that he was sending the skin as proof. I always suspected that the managing editor did it himself." A Fins Sense cf Feeling. One of two darkies who run a boot black "parlor" in partnership was brag ging of liis well developed sense of touch, particularly- in the matter of money. He boasted that he could toll the denomination of any United States coin merely by feeling it. His partner wearied of these boasts aud came back with this: "Your sense o' feelln' ain't nothin to my friend Marcus. Him and me used to work on the Pullman down through Kansas. Marcus had been on this route for about ten years. One night when we was both n-sleepin'. "long around midnight. I wakes up and I shakes Mar cus and I says. Marcus, where ure we?' And Marcus Jest rolls over and sticks his hand out the window and he says. 'We're goto' through Oswego.'" Ev erybody's. Writing on a Pillow.

Loudon Answers. First Lightning Rod. Nearly everybody believes that Ben jamin Franklin was the inventor and constructor of the first lightning rod. In this particular they are mistaken, ns the first lightning catcher was In vented by a poor monk of Bohemia, who put up the first lightning rod on the palace of the curator of Preditz, Moravia. June 1". I754. The appara tus was comjMjsed of a pole surmount ed by an iron rod. supporting twelve curved branches and terminating in as many metallic boxes filled with iron ore. The entire system of wires was united to the earth by a large chain. The enemies of the inventor, jealous of bis success, excited the peasants of the locality against him and under the pre text that bis lightning rod was the cause of the excessive dry weather had the rod taken down and the Inventor Imprisoned.
