The Oregon Arm cultural college announces that tun 0.113 has made what iB deolared world's record '1 hough scarcely i her prime, being hatched April 29 1912, she has just laid her 291 egg within a year. She has been too bust laying to cackle much about her aohltivements, but the authorities o the Oreaon Agricultural college are supplying the omission. They also remind us that the previous world recoid was made by a hen belonging to that college, number not given, in 1911. She laid 282 eggs in twelve months. Details are lacking as to the age of the previous champion She may have had some preliminary training. But hen C543 deposited her first egg last October, when less than 6 months old. The dispatches are meager. We know not how she was fed and trained, what objects were set before her, what exercises she indulged in or even her general tastes and inclinations. "But Missouri welcomes Oregon as a competitor in one of the chief industries of this country. In egg crudaction Missouri leads the United States, and no sly allusion !o the out lawed practioo of hiding the shells is intended. According to the. last available government statistics, Miss ouri produced 111,816,693 dozen rgea in a single year. This surpassed the record of Iowa 2,000,000 dozen, the next state in rank. The records of Ohio and Illinois were each 1., 000.000 dozen less, while Kansas, home of the poet laureate of poultry, F. D. Co burn, produced over 30,000.000, dozen lrss eggs than Missouri. This in the face of the fact that Missouri raised but 31,913,210 fowls that year, nearly half a million lesa than Illinois. 'Oregon may have individual hens with rceords surpassing any in Miss ouri. But she has not enough of them and they do not average so well While she has a right to bi proud of the feats of her highly educated poultry, hampered and coddled as only professor? in an agricultural college know how, Missouri has a juster pride In the faithful work of the plain, common, average hen. ...May her tribe increase. But isn't Oregon ashamed to number her' champion as. f she were an ordinary convict? By 11 means she should have a name that hould become a household word in all that region 'when rolls the Oreg on, and hears no sound save his own ashingB. ' " DOGS OF LABRADOR. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears thfa Signature The waters of the Atlantic and the Pacifis oceans have not met through the Panama canal and they never will, because the highest section of the canal is eighty-five feet above tide level and iixtends from Gatun locks on the Atlantic si ie to the Pedro Miguel lock ou the Pacifr side. The recent Mowing up of the Gamboa dyke merely let the water supply from the Charges and other streams into the Culehra rut. The canal will be a wonderfully great factor In the commerce of the world, but its full fruition as an iriral canal can only come with a sea-level con struction, which can be attained while continuing in operation the present locked canal, thinks the chief engineer for the French in their effort to dig the canal. They Go Liko th Wind and Are Tlr. Iaa and Fearless. In Dr. Urenfell's book lio tells somo interesting things concerning the Labrador dogs. The creatures are fed ouee a day and are always hungry, and yet a team will go for two or three days without food. Dr. Grenfell says that ho has traveled seventy miles a day with a half breed team of seven dogs and 250 pounds of baggage. "Tho great beauty of a dog team is that it seems to banish all conventionali ties. You can go anywhere and everywncro wnn no roads, no hedges, no walls, no restriction but your own will, and that will with out rein or bridle you make your dog s will. Dogs can carry you up almost the steepest snow slope and down again in safety, lhey do not slip or sink in, and if they fall over even a high cult in tno winter tney are very rarely hurt, lhey seem to under stand what you say and so form a better companion than a horse. They are automobiles which need no handling of their machinery. They enjoy traveling almost more than their masters enjoy it. They learn to love you as only a dog will, and if it were not for their occa sional outbreaks of wickedness they would make the best of companions. As it is, I know of no greater pleas ure possible than a large, 6trong team, a good leader, a brisk, bright spring day and a really long journey to go. "Our dogs know little or no fear and, unlike the wolves, will un hesitatingly attack even the largest polar bear," Dr. Grenfell says again. "On one occasion a man's dogs, traveling along smooth sea ice, scented a white bear aud started oil like the wind. They suddenly turned a point and ran right into him, so that the traces tangled round the bear before the astonish ed driver had time to unlash his gun. As soon as he could he cut the traces, but even in harness the dogs kept bruin at bay. Though the bear stood up to light on his hind legs, the dogs managed to get in some good bites without being hurt. On another occasion," adds the doctor, "a man brought me a spe cially valued dog that a bear had squeezed, lhe bear had been sight ed some distance oil on the ice floe, and the dogs -were slipped to hold him up for the hunter. By the time lie arrived on the spot they had the bear practically killed. But two had been damaged by him, one clawed and one squeezed." fi A G V W h3i B U 1 In IN WOMAN'S BREAST VALWAYS BEGINS a SMALL LUMP LIKE THIS and ALWAYS POISONS DEEP GLANDS IN THE ARMPIT AND KILLS QUICKLY WILL Oil $1000 IF I FAIL TO CURE any CAIiCER or TUMOR I TRFAT BEFORE it Poisons Bone crDeep Glands No KNIFE or PAIS No Pay Uniil Cured No X Ray or other swindle.

A member of the board of direct ors or the Metropolitan Upera House in Xew York tells a story that he had from one of the mu sicians attached to the orchestra lere. It appears that a friend of the wife of the musician had during call on the latter inquired as to the husband's taste ii musical mat ters. Among other things she wanted to know what operas the musician liked best to play. 'I don t know much about dot, aid the better half, who was at the imo busily engaged in darning an old shirt, "but I do know some- 'ings. Voteffer he likes I like not os Wagner operas.

The Prussian guards were origi nated by Frederick I., whose ambi tion it was to form a royal body guard of giants. Every country was ransacked by his agents to sup ply recruits, and no head that tow ered above the crowd, even in the bazaars of Aleppo or Cairo, could escape the .crimps of the Prussian king. The most extravagant sums were olTered to men of exceptional inches, and an Irishman, more than seven feet high, who was picked up by the Prussian ambassador in Lon don, received a boanty of 1,300. London Mail. Painful Etiquette. The royal court of France used to be a great place for etiquette. Louis XIV. once caught a severe cold owing to the fact that on his arising from his bed one cold morning the lord of the chamber, whose duty it was to hand him his shirt, happened to be absent. Xot one of the numerous courtiers pres ent had the courage to transgress etiquette by handing the garment to the shivering monarch. Good Wishes From Home.
