"The best pear country of the world lies west of the Cascade mountains and north of Mount Shasta," declared Stephen J. Harmeling, the noted horticulturist of Vashon Island, in an address to the students of the Puyallup summer school. Mr. Harmeling said that from his own experience a thousand dol lars a year was a moderate estimate of the returns from an acre of pears. Mr. Harmeling said that the Sound country has the natural advantages for becoming wonderful in landscape architecture and art. There is no dead season for much of the vegeta tion here, and landscape art can be developed so sa to have green foliage the year round. "So far as outside help is concern ed, we can obtain more help along this line from Western Europe and England than we can from the East ern part of the United States on ac count of the similarity between the climates of Western Washington and England," he continued. Mr. Harmeling stated that the ban galow is being developed as a type or dwelling, and that with all the things we can grow, the bungalow put into the right environment of plant life and lawn is like a beautiful painting. CRUISE OF THE SHARK WAS JOYOUS AFFAIR Commodore Bollinger, master of the speed-boat Shark, has returned from a cruise to St. Paul Oregon with a party of friends. The trip up the Willamette and back was negotiated with but one mishap, that being when, during a temporary absence of the commodore from the flying bridge, the Shark ran aground. The Fourth was spent at Dayton, and the Oregon City vacationists participated in the celebration of the national holiday there. The trip consumed, in all, an even dozen days, camp being made at night on the river bank. The commo dore says ha had a good time, and re ports that his passengers and crew similarly enjoyed themselves. .

Uncle Sam Tried Them Several Time, but Without Success. Perforated coins were never in fa vor in the United Stated, though vari ous efforts were made to popularize them. The first United States coin with a perforated center was a gold dollar issued in 1849, which bad a square hole in the middle of the planchet It was the forerunner of the gold dollar issued by the United States mint in 1849. The coin was engraved, not struck from dies. The next United States coin with a perforated center was issued from the Philadelphia mint in 1850 and was of the denomination of 1 cent It was about the size of the bronze cent now in use. At that time the large, old fashioned copper cent was In general circulation, and the perforated coin re ceived the name of "ring cent" The designer reasoned that by means of the perforation the cent could be dis tinguished by touch from the dime. Another perforated cent issued the same year showed two rings In the field with the words. "Cent One-tenth Silver." The reverse showed an olive wreath around the perforation and the words. "United States of America." The mint authorities undertook to design a coin that would answer all requirements, and the pieces were struck with both pierced and perfect centers in silver, copper, nickel and composition metal, six varieties In all, without counting the various metals, but none of the designs was favored by the government authorities, and consequently they were never put in general circulation. The only gold half dollar ever pro duced at the United States mint was struck in 1852. It had a perforation in the center, and the obverse showed a wavy circle around the perforation, with the inscription. "United States of America." around the border. The re verse was blank. The coin was ex actly half the weight of the dollar. Regardless of the generally accepted Idea the gold fifty cent pieces with which the public is familiar were not an issue of the United States, but were manufactured by California jewelers. There has not been any attempt to In troduce the perforated coin In the United States since 1884. In that year two pieces of the denominations of 1 and 5 cents were issued at the" Phila delphia mint Harper's Weekly. A PROVERB'S ."VARIATIONS. A bird in the band is worth two In the bush.

RED TAPE AND A TUB. A Bath In Senegal Was Something Like a Surgical Operation. Some years ago. when the capital of the French colflny of Senegal was a dull, unprof'essive town where official ism and red tape prevailed, a French traveler. with a friend, had a most amusing experience when he wished to obtain a bath. There was no bath ing establishment in the capital of Senegal at the time, but rumor had It that It was possible to purchase baths at the hospital. Accordingly the travelers repaired to the hospital, where they stated the purpose of their visit "Certainly." said the official, "take seats. Tour names, surnames and birthplace?" "But we merely want a bath." "Exactly. What Is your name, and where and when were you born, and are you government servants, soldiers or officers? No? Well, the rules do not provide for this. ' Just a moment. I will read them again. Tes. here is your case. You must first make out on stamped paper an application to the governor of the colony. After favor able notice from the governor you send another application to the chief colonial doctor, who will send for yon and examine you." "But we are not 111." "It is the rule. Having examined you. the doctor will give you two non commissioned officers' bath tickets, to be delivered to the assistant doctor. " "Why the noncommissioned officers' bath?" "For the reason that in our accounts we recognize only two categories "of persons officers and civil servants, the latter taking rank with officers or pet ty officers. You are not official at all. If officers were to find you In their baths they would probably make a row." "What period of time will all these formalities consume?" "Two or three days, provided your application is approved at the gov ernment house." Chicago Record Her ald. . ' When She Has Temperament.

Women have been warned not to trear boudoir caps if they would keep their hair. If they are worn two hours very day the hair most certainly suf fers and eventually falls out because )f them. We are also warned not to go bareheaded in the summer. If we do the too direct rays of ihe sun jmake the hair fall out i .-.. . It is a fact that much falling hair oc curs in the fall, a month or so after summer vacations are ended. Special ists on the subject have decided that the habit of spending much of the va cation bareheaded Is accountable for this calamity. To be sure, nothing is better . for the hair than thorough air ing. This, with a moderate amount of sunshine and much brushing, keeps the hair clean and so makes the frequent shampoo, which specialists, most of them, also declare is harmful to the hair, unnecessary. So If you would have beautiful hair when you return from your vacation decide before you start away that you will not expose your locks to the sun's direct rays Frequent shampooing Is harmful to the hair, but so is dirt Especially in summer It is desirable to keep the hair always clean and fresh. One way to do this without taking a shampoo Is to wash the scalp regularly and frequent ly with alcohol. Another way is to master the dry shampoo. Orris root or orris root mixed with talcum - powder should be rubbed in the hair, but not in the scalp. The scalp should be freed from the orris root or powder, which clogs its pores, by massage. ' Nothing is better for cleaning the hair than the liquid soap known as pure castile. A delightful shampoo mitxure can be made by melting cas tile soap with a little water until it is a jelly, then adding four teaspoonfuls of borax. To one cake of soap add a few drops of violet or rose perfume or cologne to scent It pleasantly. Another good liquid shampoo soap is made by melting a cake of tar soap in h double boiler with a little water or putting it in a glass Jar, covering the soap with warm water and putting the jar in a pan of water in the oven until the soap is of jellylike consistency. Remember if you visit the seashore and bathe In the surf that salt water is bad for the hair. Bathing caps this year are at once so pretty and so serv iceable that there Is little excuse for getting the hair wet If by chance it is wet however, it should be immediately rinsed In clear fresh water, gently massaged so that all the salt is re moved and then dried out by the Ban as quickly as possible. Shaking Hands. Any one who has gone through the ceremony of shaking hands with sev eral hundred people at a public func tion knows that there are many varie ties of handshake. There is the limp, flabby hand which has no grip: there is the band which seizes yours in a vise-like grip and crushes It until bones and ligaments ache: there is the cordial band which carries the heart with It. From time to time there is a caprice in handshaking. A year or two ago young women af fected an upward lift of the arm and a jaunty shake of the hand which was rather embarrassing to old fashioned ladies who bad never learned to lift the hand when offering tt to a friend. At present many girls not only use this peculiar form of salutation In shaking hands, but have a way of say ing "How do you do?" with a rising Inflection and an air of indifference which, if they knew it is really funny. A great deal of tact is required In adapting any salutation to the occa sion. . In private life in this country the hand is not always given except to Inti mate friends and relatives. Many per sons content themselves with a bow or even a nod on meeting. But an extended hand is the more cordial manner of salutation. Ordi narily It should be left to the older or more distinguished one to make the proffer of the 'hand. Men and women in thiscountry, as in France, seldom extend the hand un less there is a great difference of age and position or much intimacy of rela tion. Etiquette of Bridal Calls. Bridal calls must be regarded as first calls, although the bride before her marriage was included in the calls paid to her mother, bnt after marriage the call Js made to her husband and her self, although the husband may be a comparative stranger to tbe caller. The fact of having been present at the wedding requires that a call should be subsequently made upon the young i-ouple. and thus one Is actually made, and cards are only left in the case of the bride not being at home. Dinner For Engaged Persons. When giving dinner complimentary to a bride, elect one may invite only her women acquaintances. In such a case the prospective bridegroom is not an invited guest A dinner to which both Hre invited usually includes..-the man and his1 fiancee, her prospective bridal attendants and his best man and ush ers or his most Intimate friends. It Is n pretty custom to present a bouquet of roses or favorite flowers to the bride elect at a dinner. ..

Boston Transcript. . - INNER BEAUTY. . -;There is nothing iu the whole world that can vie with the sou1 in its eagernws for beauty or in the ready power wherewith It adopts beauty uiito Itself. There Is nothing in the world capable . of such spontaneous uplifting, of such speedy ennoblement: nothing that offers more scrupu lous obedience to the pure and noble commands it receives. There Is nothing In the world that yields deeper submission to the empire of a thought that is loftier than other thoughts. And on this earth of ours there are but few souls that can with stand the dominion of the soul that has suffered itself to be come beautiful. In all truth, it mighfrbe said . that beauty is tbe unique ali ment of our soul, for in all places does it search for beauty, and it perishes not of hunger even in tbe most degraded of lives, for, indeed, nothing of beauty can pass by and be altogether on perceived. Maurice Maeterlinck. Small Boys Used "Squibs." In the early days of the Fourth of July celebration tbe small boys had to content themselves with "squibs," or small balls of moistened powder, which fizzed and gave out sparks in the dark ness; with the rapid waving of fire brands, thesight of glowing bonfires and perhaps a limited participation in the "fun of fire" namely, the tossing of fire balls made of tow saturated with tar or turpentine into the air, an amusement in which many men" and boys frequently took part McKinley on the Fourth, Let us always remember that, what ever differences about politics may have existed or still exist, we are all Americans before we are partisans and cherish the welfare of all the people above party or state.

All of our truly ambitious students those who think more about the increased salaries their studies will qualify them to eara, than of the imaginary discomforts of summer study devote a part of each week to their studies all summer. - A student who will only study in cold weather punishes himself. Why? Because he takes two or three times as long, in preparing him self to earn more money, as the student who studies from a half hour to an hour per day all the year round. We have enough letters on file to make several very large books, the general purport of which is: "Oh, If I had only taken up that Course when I first wrote you about It! I have just missed a fine position, at largely increased wages, be' cause I wasn't prepared to fill it I lacked just the special knowledge I could have had from the Course." The writers of these letters never have to be coaxed to study in summer NOW. They knew what delay costs. Why not profit by THEIR experience, instead of 'taking the same bitter medicine yourself? Persons that suffer most from the heat are those that have noth ing else to occupy their thoughts. A man who is interested in his studies doesn't know how hot it is. He has no time to fret about the weather. He is looking ahead a few months to the time when he can demand advancement in position and salary, because his special educa tion will have made his services of more value to his employer. It is no harder to read an Instruction Paper In summer than to read a news paper. How many summer days are hot enough to prevent you from reading th.e daily news? ' The man who promises himself 'that he will enroll next fall is only trying to deceive his conscience. He may not know it, but he is weakening his will-power, and it is will-power power to . do what .one knows he must do to succeed that makes the man." A man of weak will one who will study some day, but not now will always . be down in the world; always in "hard luck," frequently out of work, and when employed, it will always be at low wages. He knows that a knowledge of certain subjects will fit him to earn more; yet he stills his conscience by promising to start later. Such a man Isn't truly am bitious. He is one of the kind that always does the hard, menial work, and draws small pay all his life. Are YOU ona of that kind. Are YOU truly ambitious to earn more and make something of yourself? If you wont study in summer you are NOT. If you prefer to fret about hoc weather, rather than forget it by studying, you are NOT. The dangerous habit of "putting off - has ruined the lives of more promising young men than drunkenness. It is so easy to say "yes, it's what I need; I'll start . tomorrow next week some other time." The difference between the man that makes a failure of life and the man that succeeds is simply this: The failure is going to begin "tomor row;" the success begins today. The men who "get there" ara those that study for self-improvement in summer, or whenever they have time. They don't let the ' weather keep them in inferior posiions, at small wages. They don't make excuses to themselves when they ought to be up and doing. They don't work for wages barely enough to keep soul and body to gether either. Which Kind of a Man Are You?
