The slices of bread In the full din
ner pail are to be spread thicker with
butter. The pail-carrlers have not
complained, but American dairymen
have become ambitious and entered
on a campaign of education to the
end that every milch cow must show
a certliicate of culture or be lgnoin
lnously Oslerized.
The plan Is absurdly simple; a set
of scales and a notebook are tne oniy
reniiirements. yet bv their use It Is
uronosed to double the nation's pro
duction of an article to daily diet al
ready more valuable than any crop
except corn and equal to one-third
of nil the cereals Erowu In all the
states and territories. Every twelve
months the American milch cows add
$800,000,000 to the wealth of the na
tion. Double the production and the
value of the corn crop will be left far
behind.
Hut, it Is exclaimed, no matter how
cultured the American cow may be
come It cannot thrive on scales and
notebooks, there must be something
else demanded. Not at present, for,
as a prominent New York dairyman
remarked before a Farmers' Institute
last winter: "Weighing a cow's milk
may not make her give more, but it
may cause you to put a better one In
her place and so put more money In
your pocket. Get a set of scales,
weigh each cow's milk, and keep a
record of It the year through and you
will be surprised at the results. I
venture to say some of the cows you
have been calling good ones will not
be found in your herd the next year."
Herein is the hint of Oslerization,
which is the secret of the plan. From

The close of the special tariff ses
sion of Congress leaves the Democrats
with greater hope of success In the
next election than at any time In the
lust twelve years. It has often been
said that no party could revise the
tariff without incurring defeat and
the leaders believe this occasion will
be no exception to the rule. The num
ber of discontented members of both
houses of Congress would indicate a
tremendous number of dlscoutented
constituents' "back home," unless
these members fail wholly to reflect
the views of the people they are sup
posed to represent. The opponents
of free hides insist that their states
have been singled out because thyy
have comparatively few votes In Con
gress to be made the shining example
of tariff revision downward. They de
clare that they will be defeated when
next lliey stand for election and that
Democrats will be chosen to "get
even" with the New England Indus
tries, which will profit by free hides
without making adequate concessions
In return. The sucalled progressives
ull Insist, and with a large share of
truth, that the revision Is no revision
ut all, that the people have been led
to expect cheaper prices und elected
a large Republican majority In the
House and with iliat expectation, that
they ure doomed to disappointment
and will punish those responsible for
their disappointment when next they
go to the polls. The opponents of a
tux on (ho net earning of corporations
insist that it will provo Inquisitorial
and obnoxious and that it will forfeit
to thu Republican candidates a large
measure of that financial support Iru.ii
favored corporations without which
their continued success would have
been Impossible. Adding these three
elements the leaders maintain that
there will bo a tremendous aggregate
of discontent and that will mean a
great falling off iu the Republican
vote.
The largest trainload of passeng
ers ever brought to Seattle, came over
the Great Northern 1 on Snohomish
Day, when 1,511 persons wore lauded
at the King Street Station. They
came from Everett, Snohomish, Stan
wood and other Snohomish County
towns, to participate In the celebra

records are being shattered as a re

that August will see a still larger
passenger traffic.

Ing sparks from locomotives. This
Is a great loss In wealth of one of
the state's most valuable natural re
sources. President Earllng of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul has
announced that he will co-operate in
the movements, as he does not want
to see a foot of timber destroyed along
his line. Accordingly, the Milwaukee
is equipping forty locomotives with
oil burners. They will be used In
Washington. Idaho and Montana tlm
ber belts. President Earllng believes
that the use of oil will prove an econ
omical Innovation. As a result of
83 serious fires along railway lines in
New York State last year Its public
service corporation has decreed that
oil must be burned by locomotives
An effort will be made to persuade
the Washington Railway Commission
to make a similar ruling. The matter
will also be pressed iu other timber
slates of the country.

CROWDS GOING TO THE CIRCUS.
A great many Oregon City people
are going to Portland on Wednesday,
August 25th to the Rlngllng Bros.'
Circus. It will be the only opportun
ity this year and the railroads are pre
paring to handle thousands of visitors
from the surrounding territory.
Ringllng Brothers have made many
Important Improvements since they
ist appeared In this part of the coun
try. At Madison Square Garden, New
York, where the season began, the
performances were attended nightly
by the biggest crowds that ever saw
a circus in Manhattan, and the news
papers were not backward about say
ing that the Rlngllng Brothers were
presenting, In every respect, the best
entertainment of the kind ever given
there. The performnaces In Portland
will be identical with those given in
the Garden, not the slightest change
having been made In the long pro
gramme. The circus offered this year Is one
of wonderful novelty. Instead of the
usualsingle thriller presented by other
circuses, the Rlngllng Brothers are
heading their bill with no less than
seven of the greatest and most sen
sational acts that have ever been pre
sented anywhere on earth.
The parade will be given In the
forenoon. It will surpass the brilliant
pagents which the Rlngllng Brothers
have given In past years, having been
entirely rebuilt In the foreign work
shops of the show at Liverpool, Eng
land. Vlctoria Punch.

Electricity and the Barber.
Joke as much as you please about
the loquacious barber and his (lull in
struments of torture, but be kind
enough to remember that he lias not
been backward about keeping fully
abreast of the times in the matter of
up-to-date devices for the benefit of
his patrons.
In the first place the barber appreci
ates good artificial light, and the new
tungsten incandescent lamps, with
their pure white light, high candle
power and low current consumption,
met with his Instant approval. Today
nearly all the best barber shops quip
ped with electric light are burning
these new amps and the people who
have to have their hair cut under the
rays of an artificial light can also ap
preciate the change. Electric fans
and small motor-driven air compres
sors have been used In barber shops
for years, and as soon as the electric
massage and vibrating machines,
driven by a tiny motor, came on the
market the barber shops began to use
them with great success.
One of the very latest electric de
vices for this trade Is the electric hair
dryer. After the patron's hair has
been shampooed the hair dryer Is
started up and a fine breeze of warm
or hot air quickly dries the hair.
Among the other electrical devices
common to barber shops are the man
icuring outfits, ventllalng hair combs,
electric revolving brushes for patron's
coats and hats, and shoe polishing
machines. There Is also an electri
cally operated razor, working on the
vibrator principle. The hair dryers
are -both motor-operated and electric
ally heated to give a current of warm
air. Other applicable electric heating
devices are curling Irons, hot water
cups and urns, and cigar lighters.
Cohlera Infantum Cured.
"Something like two years ago my

to relieve her but did her no good,
and being very much alarmed about
her went for a physician but failed
to find one, so came back by Elder

procured a bottle of it, went home
as quickly as possible and gave the
baby a dose of the remedy. It re

MARKED THEIR TRAIL
Two Brave Women Who Outwitted a
Band of Indians.
One summer afternoou in 1770 Je
mima Boone and two sisters named
Callaway while boating on the Ken
tucky allowed their canoe to drift
close to the opposite bank. Here, be
hind a bush, five Shawnee warriors
were in hiding, and, although the spot
was not more than a quarter of a mile
from Boonesborough, one of the Shuw
nees struck boldly out Into the water,
seized the canoe and dragged It to
shore with Its screaming occupants.
Once in the power of the Indians,
however, these youthful daughters of
the wilderness betrayed a wonderful
self possession and resourcefulness.
They knew enough of Indian customs
to realize that If their strength failed
them and they should prove unequal
to tho long march to the Shawnee
towns on the Ohio they would be
slaughtered mercilessly. So they sti
fled sobs and calmly nccompnnied their
captors without protest or struggle.
At every opportunity, though, they
secretly tore little pieces -from their
clothing and attached thera to bushes
on the trail. Nothing more was need
ed to Inform Boone and his fellow set
tlers, who bad quickly started In pur
Bult, that they were on Che right track,
and on the second day of the captivity
they caught up with tho Indians. A
volley laid two Shawnees low, the rest
fled, and by the close of another day
the girls were safe In the arms of
their thankful mothers. -II. Addlngton

Football as Played In Labrador.
Oue must not Imagine It Is all work
and no play with the Labrador Eski
mos. Much to my surprise, I found
that our good old game of football had
taken hold In L'ngavu. The game la
played with a ball of sealskin stuffed
with grass. The goals are placed much
the same as In our own game, and
each player Is armed with a short
handled sling made of several thongs
of seal hide bent in loops and attached
to a wooden handle. The ball miiy
either be tossed in the sling, kicked
or, should opportunity offer, picked up
and carried. Hough tactics are uot
barred. 1 have seen a man tossed in
he air and pitched headforemost Into
u snow bank, while pushing, tripping
and blocking are all freely Indulged in.
