CITY COUNCIL OP LA GRANDP,
OREGON.
By C. Ml HUMPHREYS.
Recorder of the city of La Grind?,
Oregon.
Spot In Wales.
Those who travel through strange
places with their eyes and their ears
open are likely to make strange discov
eries, but there are plenty of other
finds which, simply as a delight to the
senses and without any wonder or cu
riosity attending them, are well worth
the trouble of trying to forget one's
preoccupation - la what he aeea and
hears.
Both these pleasures of travel come
to those who will fare slowly and ob
servlngly through the Vale of the Wye
In Wales. It seems almost like a chap
ter from some magnificent Apocalypse
to travel on to Cader and Plynlimon
and glimpse the Imposing grandeur of
the visions that await the appreciative
eye. Half of Wales seems to lie before
tbe traveler. The mountains of tbe
Cader range loom loftily, and Snow
don, of the lakes, seems to beckon him
on. The long headland of Carnarvon
hugs half a sea In the crook of Its arm.
Pembroke's ragged ' capes gleam be
yond tbe lovely mountainous heights.
No sound breaks tbe vast silence. You
are shut off from the bustling world.
Tbe hawk circles in a noiseless' void
above the slopes whitened with graz
ing sheep. For a moment there may
be the feeble pipe of the wbeatear, and
for another brief space a lark may lilt
praise to heaven. But that Is all.
Philadelphia North American.
Chinese Quesr Ways.
Difficulties of census work among
Chinese are amusingly illustrated by
the British commissioner at Weihalwel
In his report "A Chinese child at
birth is said to be one year old," be
writes, "and after It bas passed one
new year it Is said to be two years old.
Thus a child if born In tbe last month
of the year may be said to be two
years of age before It is thirty days old
according to European reckoning. A
child of eighteen months' time of life
since birth Is reckoned by Chinese to
be either two yenrs or three years old,
this depending on whether it was born
In the first or second half of the year.
It is common for a Chinese mother to
give a son the name of a girl, presum
ably to deceive the fates, it being con
sidered easier to bring up a girl. .There
are many large undivided families in
Weihalwel. The largest is that of a
widow named Meng Yu Shlh, whose
family consists of sixty-six, which,
with one servant makes sixty-seven
mouths to tbe common meal."

Knowing the Great Men.
Mr. Browning himself once told me
how Important and Interesting he
thought It that the young should have,
as It were.iandmarks in their lives by
at least seeing great men who belong
ed to an earlier generation.
"Once." he said. "I was walking In
the streets of Paris with my son. who
was then a little boy. We saw an old
man approaching us in a long, loose,
rather shabby coat and with a stoop
ing, shuffling attitude and gait Touch
that man as you pass him.' I whisper
ed, to my little son. 'I will tell you
why afterward.' The child touched
him as be passed, and I said to blm,
'Now, my boy, you will always be able
to remember In later years that you
3nce saw and touched the great Beran
ger.' "Dean Farrar In "Men I Have
Known."
