The Pygmy Hippopotamus.
One of tbe animals least known to
the outside world is the pygmy hippo
potamui of West Africa. It is just
what its name implies, a pygmy hippo
potamus. It is much smaller than the
common hippopotamus, being uo larger
than an ordinary or fair sized hog. It
differs somewhat from the common
hippo In the character of its teeth, and
Instead of spending its time in the riv
ers and lakes In large herds it wanders
about through the jungles singly or in
pairs, much after the manner of swine
in search of mast

Marines.
Marines soldiers serving on ship
board date back to the year 10ti4.
when an order In council, dated Oct
16. authorized 1.200 soldiers to b
raised and formed into a regimeut.
More regiments were later on formed,
and by 17.r9 the marines numbered
18,000 men. In the latter years of the
French wars they numbered 82.000
The marines are today a feature of
every navy, and In most countries
officers of the marines are equal in
rank with those in the army and
navy. New York American.
All Feet.
"In a large city like New York one
may find many queer names, particu
larly of people," said a license clerk
at the city ball, "but seldom does one
find the succession of names In the
same family continue in this odd
groove. I came across such a case the
other day. George C. Foote and Miss
Mary Stocking came to me for a li
cense to wed.
"Out of curiosity I asked Miss Stock
ing for her mother's maiden name.
She said it was Miss Shoemaker."

The Peanut.
The peanut is a mine of riches, con
taining more protein, or lean meat val
ue, than any other nut known and an
immense store of fat, so that as a food
It is a rich treasure, but it should be
recognized and used as a solid food
and not as a between meal tidbit, for
it is anything but a deiicate or light
food. This, however, may be said of
all nuts, and one should avoid over
loading the system with them, for by
this is indigestion formed and unde
served reproach to nuts as foods.
Beliefs About Waves.
The Persians believe that the waves
of the Persian gulf are caused by air
entering caves which have subterra
nean outlets under the ocean. One of
the most curious beliefs of all one
closely akin to a certain ancient orien
tal hell belief is that of the south sea
islanders. According to their notion,
the rolling of the sea is caused by a
"thunder god." In old times this
"thunder god" killed the chief deity of
tbe islands and was confined under the
ocean as a punishment His rolling
with rage causes the waves.
Some Men Do That Anyway.
"What would you do If you had $1,
000,000?" "Nothing."-Detroit Free Press.
As a result of economic methods and the acquirement of additional facilities, the
PORTLAND RAILWAY, LIGHT & POWER COMPANY takes a great deal of pleasure
In announcing to the citizens of Oregon City and the surrounding territory an import
ant reduction In its electric light and power rates.

It has been the constant policy of the Company to give good service at reason
able rates. The Company is more interested than anybody else in building up a bigger,
busier and better Portland, and it fully recognizes the important Influence of low rates
and good service. The new lighting rate is 9, 7 and 4c per kilowatt hour. Details of
this reduction and the conditions involved can be secured upon application at any of

be put to the least possible Inconvenience, new contracts will be mailed beginning May
1st. The Company earnestly requests that these be signed, witnessed and returned to

,rOU have seen the big pretentious, showy
cars clattering noisily tip the hill cn low
gear, like taking a big freight elevator to the
sixteenth floor the idea has gone out of date.
Henry Ford exploded it long ago. He brought
out cars of ample size, but built the bodies, as
well as other parts, light in weight, and ptit in
motors of ample power. Now Ford cars are
the greyhounds of the road. They take hills on
the high gear. They are noiseless and vibra
tionless. Easy to run and inexpensive to operate
