" Evening star: Saturn. Morning stars: Venus, Jupiter,- Mercury, Mars. The black gap now appearing In the Milky way below the cross formed by the stars of Cygnus, Is termed the north ern coalsack. ON EXPERT One of the best things TESTIMONY Mark Twain ever wrote is contained in his "Yankee in King Arthur's Court,'' in which he tells how Merlin, the great magicion and bunco-artist described for the bene fit of the ruler of Avalon what the Prince of India was doing, and what the savage Tartar tribes were about but was unable to tell what one of the court attendants, immediately in front of him, was doing with a hand held behind his back. The incident is suggestive of some "expert testi mony" offered these days. The aver age "expert" can tell a great deal about the way things in general should be done, but when it "comes down to cases" he is woefully lack ing in ability. Also it appears that "experts" are not always of the same mind upon a given matter. Take the records of any great trial, and note the conflict of opinion in expert testimony as to handwriting, or the sanity of the de fendant, or any oher point at issue. Expert testimony, in fact, has be come such a joke that in modern jur isprudence it is looked upon askance, and carries but little weight with the jury. In short the average "expert" is just as much of a "bunco artist" as was Brother Mterlin. Further light upon "expert testi mony" was shed recently in the or gan of the Cuban Insurecto, when some involved explaining of that fam ous mass-meeting report was contin ued. In apologizing for some of the weird statement in the famous "W. A. W." letter dealing with estimates upon the coat of work upon the coun ty courthouse a letter made the basis of the committee's criticism of the county court it is admitted that 'W. A. W.'1 was instructed to add $3,000 to his estimates. Fine basis for criticism that. Why was not $3,000 subtracted? Or why was not some other arbitrary stunt slipped into the expert testimony? . Why did the committee of three val iant muck-rakers not present their own private mass-meeting with even the exact facts, as they found them with their biased eyes? Now that they have admitted that this "expert testimony" estimate was doctored one way, and now that they have ad mitted that they did not inquire par ticularly into the road expenditures of a certain district wherein they charged the court with withholding funds, end now that they have admit ted that they did not publish the fact that they found certain com plaints groundless; why not make a clean breast of the whole miserable business and admit that the whole thing trumped up charges, framed up report and other incidents was pure buncombe from the start? PORTLAND'S June the second ap DILEMA proaches, and with it comes increased confusion for the average Portland voter who will have to go to the polls oa that day and help elect a mayor, an auditor and four commissioners. The ballots have been printed, are three feet long, and contain the names of 99 candidates for office. To assist the voter cer tain gentlemen and others -have des ignated, themselves committees of 100, leagues with nice-sounding names, and advisory boards, and have each and severally picked out Americans Not All Centered In Money Making By RUDOLPH EUCKEN.

Dillman&Howland Opposite Court House from 12 asorted candidates to a "straight ticket which they urge the voters to support. There is almost as much variance of opinion between these advisory bodies as there is among the candidates. Portland papers have been heaving mud at the candidates that displeas ed them., and taking it one and all, nobody has ' escaped. The present mayor, who is running for re-electioi is portrayed- as everything from a hypocrite to a saint, depending upon the political bias of the several pa pers; and the candidates have beaa treated to a search for family skelet ons that should provide material for a good grist of libel suits after tha campaign is over. One paper, that has been particularly savage in its denunciation of practically all the candidates, has capped the climax by boosting hysterically for one of its own reporters, who happens to be in the race. Such devotion on the part of a newspaper for a mere member of its staff is touching in the ex treme and somewhat humorous. Yes, Portland is having some fun with herself, and is going to have more. Before she gets her new com mission form of rule under way she will have had more assorted varieties of politics on display than have prob ably been condensed into any one campaign in the history of the United States. There have been campaigns where seven parties have fought for the control of a municipality, but sel dom if ever, has there been a city election held before in which 99 wan dering sheep have sought the profit able fold of municipal office. Verily, it is to laugh. Strong Emotion. Five-year-old Billy was swinging on the front gate. "How's mother this morning?" asked a passing neighbor cheerily. Billy looked serious. "I don't fink she feels very good. Mrs. Brown. Her bestest rosebush is dyin'. and she bad to use lots of emotion." Mrs.' Brown looked sympathetic, but puzzled "Poor mother!. Did it really make her cry?" "No!" with scornful emphasis "She just putted sonic sonpsnds an' kerosene on ilie Imsli to kill the IH1 little buss " 'Oh. yt-s. emulsion!" said the iues tioivr iis the litrht (1:ivn upon her "Tlmt's wli;it I s;iid." explained Hilly patten! I v "kerosene emotion." Los Alleles Tillies Forgot His Own Name. One of the most distinguished orators of the house of lords confesses that he once forgot bis real name. Lord Rath more, who was raised to the peerage in 1805, has no doubt become accus tomed to the title by now. In the early days of his grandeur, however, he was nonplussed when a French rail way official suddenly required his name. He could remember that he used to be called Plunket, but had to consult his card case in order to learn his new designation. London Chroni cle. Get the news read the Enterprise. is that life becomes TOO ONE Hydroaeroplane Will Be Ship of Future By ORVILLE WRIGHT. Aeroplane Inventor HE HYDROAEROPLANE IS THE SHIP OF THE FUTURE. IT IS THE ONE THING THAT WILL OVERCOME THE DAN GERS OF SEA TRAVEL AND MAKE A JOURNEY ACROSS THE OCEAN NO MORE THAN A TRAIN TRIP. The hydroaeroplane that I have in mind will be able to journey over and through the roughest sea and, besides, will be able to TRAV EL TWICE AS FAST AS THE SPEEDIEST STEAMSHIP. The development of the hydroaeroplane so far has been slow because peo ple have not yet begun to realize the vast possibilities that it presents. It will eventually be built to TRAVEL ON LAND, WATER OR IN THE AIR, according to the desire of the operator. There is, to my mind, no limit to its development. It is the vehicle of the future. There is a great deal more interest in airships and aeroplanes abroad than in this country, and this is because of an UNNATURAL FEAR in which the American people hold the present methods of air travel. Every time an accident occurs over here you see it displayed in the headlines of the newspapers, but if an air man breaks an altitude record or flies for an unusually long distance he gets Uttle more than a para graph. So the airship has come to be REGARDED AS A DAN GEROUS THING, and but few of the American public want any thing of it. AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT IS NO MORE DANGEROUS THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT CARRIES AN ELEMENT OF RISK WITH IT. earl to Heart Talks By JAMES A. EDGERTON THE POSTOFflCE. No part of the government comes so close to the people as the postal serv ice Wuli the addition of the postal sav ings t,ank and the parcel post, its field of usefulness is extended, and its con tact is more intimate than before. No doubt the postal telegraph will be add ed in time; also the weight limit of the aml post will be increased. All of this is In the bands of the people, and whatever they decree as to this great agency for their convenience will be put into effect. The postal service is vhe people's messenger. It carries their tidings each to each. It is the avenue for the unsiness of a nation, safeguards the people's sav ings, takes their orders and delivers thtjjr goods, keeps them in touch with distant friends aud relatives, places the newspaper and magazine at their front doors and is tteir errand boy. It is a gigantic business organization, as it must needs be to serve 100,000, 000 people. It extends over every rail way, stage line, ocean highway and into every hainleL Through its city and rural carriers it travels every street and road and visits almost every house. It protects the people from frauds and unclean reading matters If it should cease Its activities for one week business would be paralyzed and the average man .would be almost com pletely shut off from the outside world. All this and more Is represented by your letter carrier as he comes to your home each day. Ills uniform is a badge of useful service. It is not the insignia of death, as that of the boI dier, or of coercion, as that of the po lice. It is rather that of the Tight bearer. It is honorable, since It be longs to an army that serves ovei every foot of territory "where the flag floats. Its labor is always arduous and Its pay relatively small. It travels by every mode of conveyance known to man. Mails ar- -arrfo, by steam ships and steam urs, by aeroplane, pneumatic tube, folley, stage, wagon. ft automobile, motorcie, bl cycle, horse back and on foot By placing a little label on letter, parcel or paper they know a trained army will bear it on its way to any de sired point with the least possible de lay. They have but to express a wish and pay a pittance and great organiza tions are nt their heck and call. Of all these agencies the postofflce ia perhaps the most universal, least ex pensive and most helpful. The Oath Gesture. The act of uplifting the hand during the taking of an oath is so ancient that It would be futile to even attempt to say when it started. Homer mentions it as common among the Greeks of his time, and it is also found in the earliest Biblical time. For Instance, Abraham, the father of the Jewish people, says "I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah," showing that even at that remote pe riod the practice was existent. It was from the Jews, of course, that the prac tice found its way into Christendom, where it has ever since held its place in judicial trials. New York American Good Advice. "My son," said the old hunter, "you are starting out to earn your living as a guide. Remember that some people will want to see bear, while others will want to see bear tracks." "Yes, dad." "If they're satisfied with tracks don't try to show 'em bear." Louisville Courier-Journal. Turn About. Banker Alloiv me to call your at tention, sir, to the fact that your ac count is 100 overdrawn?

IfflmmilllllllllllllllllllHninmr points for Mothers Dressing the Baby. Mothers seem to be divided in their opinion of how to dress the baby. ;but their ideas are generally so extreme that they can easily be divided into two classes the sensible, who believe In simplicity, and the foolish, who try to see how fancifully they can dress their little tots. The elegance of baby's clothes should always be interpreted in fineness and not ..by fancifulness. If its little slips are to be the most beautiful' they should be of the finest hand woven lin gerie cloth and made so daintily that the eye can scarcely perceive the stitch es In . their narrow seams. That is real beauty and luxury for the baby. The baby's first slips are the prettiest in the plain bishop style finished with very narrow Valenciennes lace edging around the neck and sleeves and brier stitching at the top of its hem. For "best" wear you may want a slightly more fanciful dress, with tiny hand embroidered yoke in the front (narrow tucks running to the neck in the back) and dainty embroidered flowers strewn here and there above the hem. Of course hemming always makes a de sirable finish at the seams and is not ornate. The infant's petticoats should be just as fine and plain as its slips. And In winter its ''heavy" petticoats should be of the finest French flannel, so that they will not wash together and be come weighty and bulky. The flannel petticoats should be finished with bri er stitched hems. All petticoats should be made with little waists or wide waistbands. Juvenile Nerves. With highly strung children there is often a readiness to pick up nervous tricks from their elders. Thus from one a chHd learns to stammer, while from another it adopts various nerv ous movements of the muscles of the face or limbs. Such a child needs to be well fed aud kept as much as pos sible in the open air, to lead a quiet life without excitement and without overexercise of the brain. Above all. It must be kept as much as possible away from those people from whom it seems to be taking the tricks of nerv ousness. Reserved Boys. Mothers, don't be too ready to think that your boy . shows a want of trust In you if he occasionally keeps a se cret or omits to tell you every little thing that he has done. Many boys are very reserved. They cannot bear to speak of what they feel deeply. Make your son understand that moth er will always be glad to hear what he chooses to tell her. but that she does not want to force his confidence. Then he will speak much more freely to you than he would do if he felt that you were "always after him." Screwing Up the Eyes. - Disastrous to beauty of a child's ex pression is the habit of screwing up the eyes. The trick points very plain ly to defective vision and calls aloud for a visit to an oculist The visit must not bg delayed, for ugly wrinkles round the eyes is the least evil of this defect A shortsighted child is se verely handicaped when it begins Its school life, and neglected myopia leads to serious eye trouble in later life. Properly prescribed spectacles are all that is required to end this particular trouble. Mouth Breathing. Mouth breathing, which is one of the signs which point to the presence of adenoids, can only be cured by go ing to the root of the matter and hav ing the adenoids removed by opera tion. With very young children it is a wise precaution to do as the Indian squaws do, and that is to press the lips of the young child together when he first falls asleep. Sunbonnets For Babies. Protect the baby's eyes if the sun is very strong. Little sunbonnets of pink or pale blue chambray are both pretty and very sensible for young children. It is far easier to prevent weak eyes than to cure the weakness once it is contracted, and. while the sunshine does not always injure the eyes, you must remember that even a grown person cannot stand or work in the hot sunshine without feeling bad ef fects from the exposure. Sounded Like It "Father, my watch is mentally de ranged." ". ' - "Why, my son, a watch can't be mentally deranged!" "Mine is. The jeweler told me it had lost Its balance." Judge.
