Australia once bad a great public Joke, which was played openly In the New Pouth Wales state parliament by a member who' afterward became at torney general. . A bill had been Introduced to pro tect native flowers from ruthless de struction. The honorable member up rose and sympathized. He informed the Introducer of the bill a somewhat pompous gentleman that be heartily approved..- But why. these Invidious distinctions? The bill protected and he quoted all the botanical names In the MIL , , But why were other flowers equally deserving neglected?' Why were and here he reeled off a long list of the Latin names for cockles, mussels, oys ters, etcwhy were these sweet flow ers to be blighted In their bloom by being plucked by any prowling excur sionist who wanted something In hi buttonhole?' : The Introducer of the bill promptly offered to extend the list to Include these. So half the shellfish on the coast. Including the periwinkle, were added to the flowers worthy of protec tion, . . The officials of the bouse discovered the hoax next day and set It right But the Joke was too good to be kept quiet, and all Australia chuckled at the expense of the pompous legislator. London Answers. ployed by the city to do this work, were adopted, the councllmen were not familiar with eewer pipes and be lieved that when an expert engineer said that the lengths should be 30 inches, that was the standard size. It has since become known that Kelsey was no doubt looking after the inter est of "made In Utah" goods for his home town had at that time the only plant of any consequence In a half dozen states west of the Mississippi river that produced this odd length. He "slipped" that same Joker into the Hillsboro specifications, it is said. Arguments Against Changing One of the chief reasons why the change was not voted : was because the council emphasized to Mr. Childs that the 30 inch pipe-would be used, the Intricate points Involved being unknown to the council at "that time. Those of the council last night favor ing the change pointed out that the changewhich can be made at any time, as provided In the specifications themselves that Contractor ' Child's bid was high on excavation and low on pipe. As the pipe only Is effected, the ' supporters' of the change could see no plausible reason why It would affect the Childs bid in any way. How ever the change was toted down after two. or three roll calls. Riot Act Ifrad Councilman Logsdon read the riot act to Contractor Sutherland during the discussion of another question. Mr. Logsdon claims to have found some defective pipe In a pile of 24- Inch pipe stored In North La Grande, and with considerable eloquence warn ed Mr. Sutherland not to use that pipe. He 'was ruled out of order be cause Mr. Sutherland has not at tempted to lay any of the pipe and the city Inspector has not been asked to pass on Its merits. DON'T MIND BIG NOISES. But Slight, Rustling Sounds Make Cl- Among the curious characteristics of the giraffe is its strange indifference to loud noises as contrasted with its peculiar "scariness" with reference to Blight sounds.. Noisy sounds, like that of a man walking near In hobnailed boots, the giraffe does not appear to notice, but should It be approached by a woman whose skirts give out but the slightest rustle the sound thereof causes the giraffe to start up with I pricked ears and eyes distended in I fear. Officials of n zoological institution, situated near a canal, tell of a curious Instance of this peculiarity of giraffes. After a terrible explosion of gunpow der on a barge on the cannl the keep ers were astonished to observe that the giraffes took little notice of the tremendous blast ' They Jumped to their feet but almost at once lay down again when they found that nothing extraordinary had happened in their lnclosure. But were a keeper at night to' creep along outside that lnclosure in his stocking feet tbe queer beasts would exhibit such terror that one would imagine them about to dash themselves in terror against the fences. Giraffes fear tbe lurking foe, and a big bang scares them hardly at aU. To them tbe faint, rustling sound is a to ken of the greatest danger. In that respect they are like deer. New York Press.

Holland Is to me one of the most In teresting countries in Europe, writes George R. Sims. Apart from the ex citement of having to do a bit of Blondin, with the edge of a canal for your tight rope, at Intervals of a few minutes all day long, the Dutch them selves furnish you never ending Btudy. I love to see the little Dutch boy of six smoking his clay pipe or bis cigar as he clings to his mamma's skirt There is something at once novel and startling in finding Dutch cheese and a penny bun placed in front of every guest at the breakfast table. In a land where a public company is a MaatschappiJ and nearly every house of restauration announces that the thirsty traveler can there obtain "Tap per!). SJitterlj and Slemp." there is al ways something to amuse you. ( Underwood Typewriter Company? (IfvOiporati) Portland, Ore., Erancn. 68 streec falttiAaettx-wwKt4iai 1a workics hours.
