Lonely Britisher.
Living on an island belonging to the
Paumotu archipelago, a French posses
sion in mld-Paclflc, mitny thousands of
miles from the Australian continent, Is
Kdward Dnvles, who claims the distinc
tion of being the loneliest Britisher.
There arejrnly three other white men
on the Island, which Is 40 miles long
and 20 miles broad, but these are three
Frenchmen. Hundreds of miles to the
southward of New Zealand are the
Macqimrie Islands, on one of which
two men manipulate a wireless service
to Australiu. Their small hubltntlon Is
the only one on the island, which has
no trees or shrubs, natives, hurbors,
and very little sunshine, being bitterly
cold and most desolate. Their only
companions are penguins. It Is the
most southern abode in the world for
a Briton.
Almost an Unknown Race.
In tba extreme north of the Russian
province of Archangel dwells one of
the queerest and least known races of
mankind. These are the Sanioyeiles.
the wandering tribes of the vast frozen
marshes which extend in these regions
from the forest belt to the shores of
the Arctic ocean, an exchnnge soys.
They worship idols and their sole
wealth consists in reindeer. Living,
the reindeer draws the sledge, which
transports the Samoyede and his be
longings from spot to spot In search of
the game fish which constitute his
principal sustennnce. Dead, It provides
hfm with meat in times of scarcity, and
with skin for his family tent. With Its
sharpened bones he tips his wooden
fishing harpoons and hunting spears.
Its sinews he uses to sew together the
shirt, breeches, and boots of sealskin,
which are the attire alike of the
Samoyede men, women and children.
"VTOU can purchase goods made elsewhere and send
a part of your money to other sections to be distri
buted in payrolls for the benefit of those communities.
Or you can insist on Oregon Made Products and your
money all of it will remain in Oregon to increase
the output of Oregon factories; to make bigger pay
rolls for Oregon; to build more homes and better
schools in Oregon.
Which are you buying?
The Mongols.
.The "Mongols, Tarurs or Buns" srs
now generally held to belong to, nei
ther "the Semitic. Htmltlc or Aryao
races. The latest authorities divide
the Inhabitants of the world Into the
Ethloplc Mougollc and Caucaslc
groups. Central and north Asia, the
Balkans, parts of Russia. Tibet, China,
Japan, Finland, Lapland, Siberia, Hun
gary, the Malay peninsula, Madagas
car, Philippines, are all peopled by
Mongols 'to which family, are also
ascribed the North American Indians
and the Eskimo. We have traveled
far from the elementary teaching of
the old-school geographers you will
notice, though we are still compelled
to accept as characteristics of the di
visions the colors black for Ethloplc,
yellow for Mongol I c and white for
the Caucaslc.

Story of Familiar Quotation.
Correctly given the quotation 1ft
"When Greeks Joined Greeks, then was
the tug of war." It Is from a tragedy
entitled "The Rival Queens; or Alex
ander the Great," by Nathaniel Lee,
a tragic poet who died in 1092. He
wrote a number of tragedies in spite
of the fact that he had occasional at
tacks of Insanity, a misfortune that
seemed to assist rather than retard
his bursts of eloquence. Curiously
enough, while that one line has lived
and has been wafted down through
the centuries and quoted by thousands,
there is not one person In a hundred
who knows who wrote it or anything
about Its author, even after they have
heard his name. Advice to authors.

tence if you wish your words to be

That "Stranae Herb" Tobacco.
Tobacco and America were discov
ered at the same time. The party Co
lumbus sent forth from his caravels to
explore the island of Cuba brought
back the report that they had seen
men with lighted firebrands which were
perfumed with a strange herb which
they carried on their persons. The
"strange herb" was first taken to Eu
rope over half a century later by an
other Spaniard, Francisco Fernandez,
who had been dispatched by the Span.
ish king to Mexico to Investigate the
products of that rich country.
Plants Have Eyes.
Most people are awnre that potatoes
have eyes, but how many know that
certain common garden and wild flow
ers are similarly equipped? The nas
turtium, begonia, clover, wood sorrel
and, bluebell, among others, have eyes
placed on their leaves, says London
Tit-Bits. They are tiny protuberances,
filled with a transparent, gummy mix
ture, which focuses the rays vt light
upon a sensitive patch of tissue be
hind them. A nasturtium plant has
thousands of such "eyes" on Its leaves,
but It Is not yet known if the plant
can actually see. Are the sense im
pressions telegraphed to some central
nerve coresponding with the broln of
l lie animal kingdom? In. addition to
this visual organ many plants show
sensitiveness to touch that points to
further resemblance to animals; while
certain seaweeds and mosses In an
early stage of their existence are able
actually to swim through the water.

Where Pearls Abound.
""On some of the Islands lying to the
north and east of Australia, Inhabited
by natives who still practice cnnnl
ballsm, stories of vnluablo pearls are
not infrequently found by daring
white traders, evMi to this day. Nn
tlvtfs often part with their collections
of gems In exchange for mere trifles,
particularly for things that they can
use for personal adornment. In the
New Hebrides, the Solomon Islands and
in some ptirt' of tin Kijl group pearls
:ire still ohttdni'd In considerable quan
tities by natives. These divers perform
wonderful feats. It is not unusual for
them to bring up shells from n depth
of 120 feet, and It Is an ordinary thing
for them to work In water 50 to 75
feet deep. They do this without diving
equipment of any kind.
Thomas Jefferson's Bible.
In 1904 congress caused to be re
produced in photolithographic fonn
the so-culled Jefferson Bible, or more
correctly, "The Morals and Life of
Jesus of Nazareth," extracted textu
al ly from the gospels In (Jreek, Latin,
French and English, by Thomas Jeffer
son. Texts were cut by him out of
printed copies of Greek, Latin, French
nnd English Testaments and pasted In
four parallel columns on blank pageH,
which later were bound In red mo
rocco, ornumented In gilt, nnd titled
on the back In gilt letters, "The Morals
of Jesus." The original Is In the Unit
ed States museum at Washington, and
0,000 duplicate copies for the use of
congress were printed In 1004.

Where She Drew the Line.
Noru hated to have her hair washed,
so mother came to this solution: She
would tell the child that sometimes
hair turned red If washed with tar
soap. The plan worked beautifully.
There were no mure uproars on hulr
washing days, for the little one was
fond of red hair. But one dny when
mother bt'gan using the same soap
for Norn's bath, the child let out o
scream and said, "Mama, 1 like red
hair, but oh, I don't want red feet,
too."
Why Called "0en Bird."
Do you know how the oven bird got
its name? Well, It wns because Its'
nest built among the leaves or pi tip
needles on the ground Is arched nnd
nf an oven-like appearance, says the
American Forestry association, Wash
ington. You do not see the oven bird
sitting on the topmost twig of a tree
like some oilier members of the fenth
ery tribe, but ho sticks close to the
ground, mourning to the lower
branches nf a tree only to sing or to
scold an Intruder, The song of the
oven bird somewhat resembles the
word "teacher.'
