It appears that he had the gun, aud was going to shoot at a bird when Willard Owings thought be could do better, so took tht gun aud by some meaus the gnu went off too soon, the ball entering the leg above the knee and goiug back of the boue passed ou through, raug iug upward.

Last Saturday your Eaglo Point oor ruspoudeut took a part of the Eagle Point Dramatio Company to Central Point, where they entertuiued the people with the play, "Gyp, the Heress."

A lijttle after midnight the company of dancers broko up and everybody seemed to be well pleased.

We usually try to got a mail's ear for tlio purpose of turning hlsliead. You often hear of crime waves, aud if you will look about you will notlqe that It still waves. What a single man doesn't know about wouieu lie Is willing to lcaru. If meu were philanthropists they would go about proposing to women they were certain wouldn't have them, as it does the wouieu so much good. However, -the men may not care to take1 chauces. It takes a hero to resolve that he will deliberately be good and let who will be clever. Some men are so modest Unit they never suspect their nerve. Some people who have been there tl.'ink that the Chinese in this country might do worse things than to go home and launder the streets of their unlive land. & Can't Kill Him, "I see that Chief Italn-Iu-the-Face is dead." "Yes, but old Booze - In the Mouth still flour ishes." 'M fc' it' NAUTICAL TERMS. Origin of Some of tlie Expressions That Smell of the Sen. The word "admiral" comes from "emir el bagh," which is Arabic for lord of the sea. "Captain" comes straight from the Latin "caput," a bead; but "mate" Is almost Identical with, the Icelandic "mati," which means a companion ot equal. Cockswain was originally the man who pulled the after oar of the cap tain's boat, then known as "cock boat." "Cock boat" is a corruption of the word "coracle," and, as most people know, the coracle is a small round boat used for fishing on some of the Welsh rivers, such as the Xye and Usk. So cockswain comes to us from the Welsh. "Commodore" Is simply. the Italian "commaudatore," or commander, and "naval cadet" was originally the French "capdet," which, going a step further back, has the same origin as the word captain. The reason of this apparent anomaly Is that originally na: val cadets were youuger sons of noble families who served" as privates pre vious to obtaining their commissions. There never was such a person as "Davy Jones," though we frequently hear of his locker. One ought to talk o "Duffy Jonah's; locker. "Duffy" Is the West Indian negro term for spirit or" ghost, while "Jonah" 'refers to the prophet of that name. "Dog watch" is another curious case of a term gradually corrupted out ol its original form. Originally it was "Dodge watch," so described because it lasts only two instead of the usual four hours, aud thus makes it possible that the same men shall not be on duty every day during die same hours. Sailors call salt meat "Junk." It is not a complimentary term, for junk Is nautical for a rope's end. Some 3,00,0 years ago ropes were made out of bul rushes, for Which the Latin word Is "Juncus." Why Skeea Were Invented. TIia Airrln n-f thin craa it'll LrVl mn V long that the sole extends far beyond the toe and heel, was purely practical.

Subcribi for The Mail. LAMPS THAT ARE CLOCKS. They Were Commonly Used In the ' Seventeenth Century. ! Of the various examples that have j been given of early specimens of tht I cloekmuker's urt not the least Interest- j ing are the several types of lamp j clocks. One of these was of a kind ! quite common In the seventeenth ecu- j tury and consisted of a lump burner i placed at the base of a glass oil ro-1 ceptacle mounted vertically ou a suit able stinkard. The oil reservoir had attached to it a scale, facing the burner and showing the hours, beginning at -J o'clock in the afternoon, at i which tlnit the lamp was to bo lighted In winter, aud ending at 7 o'clock In the morning The lninp being lighted, the gradually descending level of the oil, as combus tion proceeded, marked the hours. The other device, of later origin, dat ing back to the beginning of the pres ent century, utilized the same principle. It consisted of two communicating oil chambers, superposed by a clock dial. In one of the chambers was placed u night lamp to Illuminate this dial, and In the other was suspended a float from a cord which passed around a small pulley. The latter was mounted on a horizontal axis ending in tho cen ter of the dial. The iloat of course de scended as the oil was consumed and carried the index hand along with it. thus making the hours precisely as In the case already cited. At their best these timepieces could have had only an indifferent degree of accuracy, yel they probably served their purpose well and certainly are interesting at the present time as illustrating sonic of the expedients adopted by mechani cians of an earlier period. Cassier's Magazine. Power of Xlnimrn. What makes Niagara falls power possible is the fact that Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron and Lake Erie, with n combined area of 0O.0UC square miles, representing the reser voirs of some 230,000 square miles of watershed, are situated 000 feet abovo the sea level. The great volume of wa ter falling over the vast territory Hows on its natural course to the Atlantic ocean with but a slight descent until It is brought into the narrow Niagara river, when, in the rapids just above the falls, it declines Ufty-flvo feet and then, wllli a single plunge, drops into the abyss 105 feet below. Eminent en gineers have computed that 275,000 cu bic feet of water pass over the falls every second, representing In theoret ical energy over G.000,000 horsepower. Hard to l'lciitte. Nobody outside the journalistic pro fession has any Idea how difficult it is jor nu editor to please some of his pa trons. . For Instance, referring to a man's reputation for carelessness In the matter of his toilet, a paper an nounced, "Mr. Magulre will wash him self before he assumes the oilice of town clerk." This made Magulre fu rious, and he demanded a retraction, which appeared thus: "Mr. Magulre re quests us to deny that ho will wash himself before he assumes the office of town clerk." Oddly enough, this only enraged Magulre the more. San Fran cisco News-Letter. Ills Women Folk. "What a beautiful borne you have!" said the old time friend.

A Russian correspondent was talk lug about Siberia, "In that strange laud," he said, "the strangest tiling Is tho suicidal tend ency of the Chukchees. Among the Chukchees, uctually, suicide Is oue of the most common forms of death. "The Chukchees live lu northeastern Siberia. They are small ami copper colored. They dress in skins and rid reindeer. Tallow and raw kidney arc their chief delicacies. In every Chuk chee house hangs a death coat "A Chukcheo doesn't kill himself by his own hand. He appoints his nearest relatives his wife, son or daughter tc do the deed. And the delegate novel rebels, never declines this snd and hor rible task. "Innumerable are the causes of sul fide jealousy, unrequited lovo, an in curable disease, melancholy, poverty, and so on. "I knew a man who was prosperous and apparently happy. Suddenly a de sire for death seized him. 'In three moons he said, 'I will go homo to nij fathers.' And he calmly settled his af fairs and at the appointed time bade his wife to knot a cord about his throat and his two sons to pull upon tho cord till ho should be strangled. He died, they told me, Joking. "The death coat which hangs in ov. ery Chukchce house has a hood. It is for use In suicide. The hood hides the facial contortions of the dying. "There are Chukchee families where in suicide is hereditary, wherein it is a point of honor for the sons to kill them selves, a natural death being regarded lu such families as disgraceful and scandalous, a sign of the most unpar donable cowardice. "The Chukchees, despite their sui cidal tendency, are a happy and healthy people, moral, truthful, brave aud temperate." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. You can't spend any time hating peo ple if you want to go forward. After a man has worked hard to get a thing he has to- fight hard to keep it. No one loves a crying baby, and the same is time of people who are grown up. While your friends promise you big things, the "if" they put In the promise Is bigger. All your troubles are exaggerated, Including the uneasiness that con science causes. When friends urge you to come and see them "any time" it requires some figuring to find out just when that time is. . , Decisions after mature reflections are so often wrong that greater respect should be paid the decisions of a.jicu uy coming down bends or tails. Atchi son Globe. Old Time Football. Football has never been a very gen tle game, to judge from what Master Stubbes. says about It In his "Anato mic of Abuses," published In 15S3: "For, as concerning foot on 11 ploying, 1 protest unto you it may rather be call ed a friendly kinde of fight than a play of recreation, a bloody and murther lug practice than a sport or pastime, for dooth not every one lye in waight for his adversarie, seeking to over throw him and to picke. him on his nose, though it be on hard stones, so that by tills mennes sometimes their necks are broken, sometimes their backs, sometimes their legs, some times their amies, sometimes one part thrust out of joyut, sometimes anoth er; sometimes the noses gush out with blood; sometimes their eyes start out."

"Watch a score of pedes trians on the sidewalk, and not one of them sticks to n straight path. Those deviations are not always duo to tho crowded condition of the pavement ei ther. During tho rush hours a man is supposed to dodge this way and that iu his efforts to make progress, but when given a clear road there Is no excuse for so much sidetracking. Yet no mat ter how favorable the conditions the Nov.- Yorker zigzags just the same, lie might have a stretch of sidewalk a block long all to himself and be ier foctly sober, yet in that distance he would veer from curb to stoop Hue and back again several times."

SOUTH AMERICAN JAGUARS The (July AulmalR That Will 1'ur- po.inly A l tuck Allltfutora. The most Interesting thing about crocodiles and alligators, declares the author of "The Koinauce of the Animal World," Is tho way they get their food. This they do mostly and by preference in the water, but they have also a hab it of lylug In wait upon the mud of riv er banks until some animal approach.1!' iy..Iiy!e ntiy ueur to be within thelv reach. Lying sunk In tho mud and of t'.:o color of mud themselves, they may well be mlstakeu fur a log. A wild pig or some other animal fond of rooting lu the mud sees the long, shapeless ob ject, but is not disturbed by it as ho roots happily among the reed beds. He looks up suddenly to Und that the log has moved. Oue end of It, the longest, thinnest end, the tail, Js gliding away lu a curve; but, like an arrow loosed. It tiles back and meets the body of the pig with a tremendous side wise blow, and the poor pig falls in a heap. 1th a sudden swift rush tho alliga tor Is upon him, and, seizing the body by the skin, which It holds puckered up Vet ween Its front teeth, it shakes It furiously, as a terrier would a rat, and then half drags, half pushes, It before t as It crawls through the mud to the water's edge. There is only one wild animal, says tho author, that will purposely attack an alligator, aud that Is the Jaguar of South America. Ihe jaguar springs on the back of the alligator and with all his might tears at the roots of the reptile's tail. This possibly is with the idea of parnlyssiug that member, thus rendering It incapable of those mighty sweeps from side to side which are more to bo feared than even the groat armed jaws. The fear of both these weapons may deter the Jaguar from clawing the throat of the saurian, for were he to be shaken off In tho latter struggles ho would be more exposed to either than if he fell farther back. Instances of the jaguar's success In destroying tho alligator are given by various observers. DON'TS ON NAMES. Don't imnio n girl Vlolot whim her disposition may be that of n tiger lily. Don't hamper a boy with a ' nami' that will prove a heavy handicap In life. Don't name a baby after a hero uu- les the hero has been dead several years. Don't name a girl after a flower.

The relative may yet marry. Don't forgot that tho man with the common name of William Is more like ly to write checks than one labeled Percy. Portland Telegram. Dots Tried, Convicted and ilanned. William Chambers, tho famous Eng lish publisher, once related an extraor dinary story of a sheep thief hanged ut' Peebles and burled at crossroads with a stnko through his body. The remarkable feature of the case was that the thief's dog was tried for aid ing and abetting lu the crime, convict ed, hanged and burled along with Its master. It was proved at tho trial that the man when out with tho animal used to indicate to It some particular flock of sheep ho wanted. After reach lug home the dog returned to tho place, rounded up the sheep and by devious ways, aud only after dark, drovo them home. There they were kept for some days and their owners marks destroy ed or "faked." They wore then grad ed with others legitimately purchased and driven to tho English markets. Dou't Ue n Choline.
