Since the Biwr war South Africa
has pursued the even tenor of her way,
with very little of importance suiii
clent to warrant a chronicling In the
outside world taking place. Now
there comes an astonishing bit of
news from there to the effect that a
consolidation of the four large colo
nies Is being talked of. Cape Colony,
Natal, the Transvaal, and the Orange
River Colony would together make a
state of nearly half a million square
miles, or five times the area of Ureal
Britain and Ireland.
There are many obstacles In the
way, however, and some of them at
the present time seem almost insur
mountable. To begin with there is
the question of debt. Two of these
colonies have alarming deficits, the
Cape and Natal. Ever since the war
the revenues have been fulling off.
and each year there has been a large
deficit at the end of the year. In
Transvaal and the Orange River Col-
ony on the other hand, there have
been surpluses ever since civil admin
istration has been established. It is
thought there might be considerable
difficulty in Dersuadinir the two imm. !
perous colonies to assume the burdens
of the two smaller.
The question of trade is an Import
ant one also. The largest factor in
this question Is that of railroad rates.
The railroads are all owned by the
Government, and each state has been
in the habit of fixing its own rates.
The chief revenue of Natal Is deriv
ed from the through traffic of -her
railroads and this also is a very large
source of revenue to Cape Colony.
Obviously the Interior colonies will
demand cheaper rates. The tariff,
too, will be another subject of dis
cussion. By far the most Important factor In
the proposed union is the race ques
tion. In all of the colonies the num
ber of natives far exceed that of the
whites, who are divided into the
British and the Dutch. Just whet
franchise privileges shall be given, or
what representation shall be appor
tioned the 6.PO0.000 inhabitants prom
ises to provoke almost endless discus
sion. A convention will be held at
Durban, October 12, for preliminary
discussion.
. - .
Andrew Carnegie, millionaire phil
anthropist, has indirectly announced
that he Intends his real monument to
be in the form of the Carnegie Tech
nical School of Pittsburg, and not in
the now world-famed libraries. He
has through prominent people of the
Smoky City made known the authori
zation of the expenditure of $10,000,
000 more on this celebrated education
al institution. With the plans com
pleted which are now being consider
ed this would become the greatest
school In the world. Arrangements
are being made now for Its enlarge
ment to a colossal scale. Judge Buf
fington and William Metcalf, Jr., two
well known Pittsburgers, were called
. to Scotland within the last few weeks
and the plans for the great school per
fected at Sklbo Castle.
The Carnegie school already boasts
of 1200 pupils but the recent reports
from Its trustees indicate that the In
stitution was altogether inadequate
to the demands on it by the rapidly in
creasing membership. With this pro
posed munificent gift Carnegie will
have bequeathed $20,000,000 to this
school and while Judge Buffington and
Mr. Metcalf would make no public an-'
nouncement of Mr. Carnegie's de
tailed plans it is known that the
worthy owner of Skibo intends to
make this school the principal bearer
of his name to the generations that
come and will keep giving his wealth
to the school as long as its needs for j
expansion demand It.
The whole scientific world Is Just
now deeply interested in the recent
address made by Professor Sir G. H.
Darwin, president of Trinity College,
In Dublin. Ireland, at the annual meet
ing of the British Association In which
he developed the theory of conscious
ness In plants. He reopened the cause
lost among some scientists of the doc
trine of fnheriiance of acquired char
acters. That plants have memory and
may develop habits and behave dif
ferently according to what might be
called their moods he most emphatic
ally maintained. He contended that
plants are equipped with an organism
which corresponds to the nervous
system in animals and by means of
which they are quite as sensitive to
certain agencies as animals are. He
says they are capable of telegraphing
from one part of their anatomy to an
other and that there exists In them a
faint reproduction of what we call
consciousness in ourselves.
A Checking Account
With a bank is a modern business convenience and
those who have never tried it have missed many
advantages. "We open checking accounts for firms
and individuals and supply them with check books
so that they can draw against their deposits in fav
or of other persons without coming to the bank.
They thus have all the convenience of having the
money at hand without the risk of robbery that
there would be if the money was kept in the house.
-m THE BANK OF OREGON CITY m-
Growth Itself, he argued, a sort
of habit made possible by memory In
their cslls ao that the process of
growth oouM be changed In any peri
od of its progress by Its surroundings
If not by Hit own free will. These
changes In growth are remembered
by successive Reiterations and thus
acquired characters are Inherited. On
this theory lie bases all plant culture
and blends It with fascinating orlgl-
I nftlit y to the whole Darwinian explan
jatlon of evolution.
i
A scathing arraignment of American
missionaries In China Is made by a
i . c.i.i...,. a .-..-I
KV'Sr.' would be
much better off If the preachers from
I this country stayed at home. He says
that his people have already a relig
ion that Is much better adapted to
their needs than that which the Amer-
lean missionaries bring and that the
latter will not gain the converts they
desire until they learn to live the re
ligion they try to teach, lie points
out that the Chinaman from his in
fancy Is taught to live his religion,
and to put In practice the precepts be
learns as a part of his education,
while the Americans who go as teach
ers of the Christian religion he says
fall miserably In acting up to the prin
ciples they teach.
An atlas of the heavens listing some
23.000,000 stars has been completed
by J. Franklin Adams, of Uoyds. in
I London. This stupendous work is to
be sold at cost price, $1:5. It has been
a labor of love with the compiler,
who Is an astronomer of no mean abil
ity. To Index this number of stars
he has divided the firmament Into 212
squares, which have been photograph
ed on specially prepared plates 15
Inches square. The Southern con
stellations were photographed In
South Africa and the rest at an ob-
I servatory near tiodalmlng. England,
where Mr. Adams has a very complete
j astronomical equipment.
A boarding house keeper disposed
of his wife and furniture to a boarder

;no"ner es'ate nor chattel. It Is
(understood that he sold the furniture
and threw her In for good measure.

The farmhouse stands upon the hill.
l,ow, white and fair to view;
While 'cross the valley mountain fill
The sky-line's fndlug blue.
The hermit thrush Its evening hymn
Chants as a nun her vows.
In woodland aisles, so vast and dim,
When Tip drives home the cows.
There's naught to toll of care or strife.
All peaceful lies the vale,
As from the forest path now rlfo
With ninny a bedtime tale
From brooding blnl In leafy nest.
From moss where Insects drowse.
There comes the hoof beat s hurrying
est,
As Tip drives home the cows.
With eye alert the faithful dog
Watches each laggard kino;
O'er hilly slope and spongy bog
He keeps them straight in line;
On through the bnrs with urging bark
I'littl the stanchions bouse
Each tired neck, or light or dark,
Of Tip's homecoming cows.
With swish of tall and grateful moo
They stand and patient wait
To yield, without the least ado,
Hecause the hour Is late,
The nectar garnered from the fields
Wherein they dully browse.
There Is no sight such pleasure yields.
As Tip's safe-sheltered cows.
THE POULTRY YARD.
The season for canonizing ends this
month.
The shiftless poiiltrymiin will be
caught napping.
Uet rid of all surplus stock at once
and save feed. l)o not winter drones.
Peter Tumbledown think winter Is
a long way off yet, and no use bother
ing. The trade built on hot air soon col
lapses, while that founded on clean
fresh eggs and nice healthy fowls. Is
there to stay.
Seems t(x bad that the poor hen
have no dry loafing place on rainy
days. While moulting, poultry are
very sensitive to atmospheric change.
Investigate every noise In the hen
house, even at night, for If a weasel
s lurking about. It must be routed
out and killed, If It takes hours to do
so.
These are busy times, I know, but
It will pay you to throw up a few
shovelfuls of earth, now and then, for
he chickens to work In. Keeps them
busy; they are the ones that do best.
Take every precaution against
lampness. Many of the reported
mysterious diseases owe their origin
to damp quarters. Chicken-pox or
sore hend, distemper and roup are
he result of negligence In this mat
ter.
If you have more pullets than you
wish to keep yourself, and If your
stock Is good, Just tack a shingle out
on a tree in the front yard and loi
Oiks know about It. You can sell
some of them to better advantage that
way than you can In the regular mar
ket.
The pullets should be placed In
their winter quarters before they start
laying. Teach them to lay In nests.
by keeping a china nest-egg In each
nest. By the way, that Is the only
good a nest-egg Is, anyway. The old-
Ime theory that It induced hens to
lay has long since been exploded. The
nest-egg Is the Blgn-board showing
where to lay, but It can not make a
hen lay. ,
Value of Good Seed.
Last summer the agent of the 3outh
Texas Truck Growers' Association vis
ited the "Bermuda Islands and the
Canary Islands and secured a big cun-
Ignment of seed. These seed hae
produced this year's onion ;rop In
Texas of a greater size and of a fine
quality. Whereas It was formerly es
timated that the Hermuda .irowera
growers shipped $1,000,000 criues of
onions to the United States annually,
It Is now estimated that their -ihip-menta
this year anrimued to about
380,000 crates. Mexico Record.

Breaking Cow to Milk.
If you are going to break a yuan)!
cow, Iho first thing you have to do
Is to keep cool. Many kicking cows
are, made bad by bail breaking and
bad temper. II Is a good Idea to tie
the new cow up the flrt few .lay an I
give her the very best treatment o
she has won your confidence. Hefore
you are going to milk be sure to hnve
your linger nail trimmed ,s close
a possible. Do not rush milking ut
once, but start gently. When you. are
through milking pet her and give her
something to eat during the il.nc of
milking. I have done milking for
fourteen years at home, on the (rin
of my parent, and know lie,cof I
