S.ilem, Ore The twenty-sixth e
llon of the Oregen legislature passed
Into history it a the meat expensive the
t.ite ha ever seen. T'.ic Uxpnyeri
will be called upon to face appropria
tions approximating j.tOO,(HH or
about 11,000,0(10 more than the pre
ceding cession. While charge of ex
travagance have been freely made,
when the growth and development of
the stale la considered, perhaps 111
appropriation should not be consid
ered extremely- excessive.
All of the Institution fared well
and the University of Oregon and
Oregon Agricultural College fared bet
ter than ever before, the only cut In
tae main requests of either being
112,000 from the estimate of the uni
versity. Then that Institution re
ceived I50S.25J and the Oregon Agri
cultural College $410,000 from actual
appropriations aside from the continu
ing appropriations.
Principal Bills Reviewed.
Among the Important legislative en
actments were the good roads laws,

office of Assistant Secretary of State,
providing a method for creating new
counties and appropriating $!0,000 to

The state banking law has been
amplified in many important respects,
guaranteeing to depositors greater
protection. It provides that all pri
vate banks shall be examined by ex
perienced bank examiners under the
direction of the Superintendent of
Banks. The only bill to be forced
through the legislature over the veto
of Governor West was that abolishing
the whipping post.

nate their second choice in primary
nominating elections for every office
for which there are more than twice
the number of candidates for the of
fice to be filled, other laws amenda
tory of the election laws of the state
were passed also. One provides for
the rotation of names on the official
ballot in all primary nominating elec

districting the state into senatorial
and representative districts, was not
passed, the Legislature did redlstrict
the state into Congressional districts,

Pint of Rum,
On of the most striking1 attractions
of the old town of Klltery Point lias
long been hor towering elms. They
rise uiagnllU-eutly nlhiv tree of all
other varieties, and III summer wltb
their folluye encompass her quaint
strvcts lu dellclou green cool ileus,

Hot least, enrapture the summer visitor
For nearly two tulles along the high
way, which for the most part follows
the shore of the hnrtior. these splendid
siHvlnions rear tliem-ielves at fairly
regular Intervals, though the x lias In

arehs crashing to the earth.
Tli story of the circumstance at
tending the planting of the plants. n

"Accordingly In 17UI ho gave one
Samuel Wake the contract. Samuel's
remuneration was uothlng more or less
than a pint of rum. doubtless brought
from the West Indies by one of the
major's pinkies, for each tree planted.
There were originally ninety of them,
and they extended from tho Searcy

THE SPIDER'S THREAD.
Its Us by Astronomers In Thsir Study
of th Stars.
The threads of the garden spider nre
fixed by astronomers In their tele
eoios for the purpose of giving fine
Hues to the field of view by which the
relative positions of stars may be ac
curately measured.
For a century tixtronomera desired
to make use of such Hues of the great
est possible fineness and procured nt
first silver wire drawn out to the ex
treme limit of tenuity attainable with
that metal. Tbey also tried hairs oue
five-hundredth of an Inch thick nud
threads of the silkworm's cocoon,
which are split Into two component
threads, each only one two-thousandth
of an inch thick. But lu lSit) nu Eng
lish Instrument maker named Trough
ton Introduced the spider's line. This
can be readily obtained a fourth of
the thickness of the silkworm's thread
and has also advantages In Its strength
and freedom from twist.
Iu order to obtain tho thre-id the
spider Is carefully fixed on a minia
ture rack, and the thread, which nt
the moment of Issue from the body is
a viscid liquid. Is made to adhere to
a winder, by turning which the desired
length of firm but elastic thread cuu
be procured. London Graphic.
Henley's Sufferings.
In fifty-four years of his life he
was born In 1SIU-W. E. Henley never
knew what a day's perfect health
meant. When little more tbau a boy
he wns attacked by a disease which
necessitated the amputation of one
foot. He was told later by the doc
tors that the sacrifice of the other leg
wns necessary were he to live. The
fame of Dr. Lister had reached lien
ley, and, penniless nud almost friend
less, ho determined to try Edinburgh
infirmary. Thither he traveled third
class In physical suffering such as few
hove known, and when he reached
the Infirmary bis whole possessions
amounted to a few shillings. His con
fidence In Lister was justified, nnd his
leg was saved. He was nud remained
n cripple, but neither hopeless tier help
less. His astounding nlmbleuess un
der these conditions suggested to Rob
ert Louis Stevenson the physical sketch
of John Silver.
A Hard On.
"The self tnnde man Is splendid,"
said Andrew Carnegie nt a dinner In
Washington, "if be makes himself a
mental and spiritual no less than a
financial success. Too ninny self made
men neglect the lutellectu.il side. This
sometimes at commencements, for ex
ample puts them nt a disadvantage.
I know a self made man who said at
a commencement to his nephew:
"'Well, Tommy, my sou, what do
they teach you here?"
"'Latin and Greek." tin? boy replied,
and German nnd nlgebru.'
" 'Dear nil'!' cried the self made man.
And what's the algebra for turnip?'"

The Differsncs.
"What do yotl regard as the chief
difference between theorist and a
practical man?"
"A theorist." replied Senator Sor
ghum, "studies out how n thing ought
to be done, nnd the other fellow makes
up his mind how it can be done."
