It is a fine quality, stout twine an eighth of an inch in diameter, made of manila hemp and originally intend ed for making the netted part of lob- ster pots. Lobster twine has come also to be used on board vessels, both sail and steam, for serving ropes, for whipping ropes. Including ropes even of wire, and for various other purposes for which a stout, durable twine of this size might prove useful. There Is probably more lobster twine used now on vessels than for the purpose for which it was first made. Two Martyrs. "What's the matter, old man?" "Brain fag.

Crinolines to Come. Before the very tight skirt came in we should have balled with something approaching dismay the news from Paris that the fashions of 1830 are ex pected to supersede those of the pres ent year. But as a relief from tightly dragged skirts, no petticoats and copi ous visions of hosiery the gowns of 1830 would be a welcome change.

In the palmy days of the Greek re publics, many centuries ago, as histo rians cell us, when a man rose to such a height of power or affluence that he became a possible menace to the state, the citizens took a vote on his case as an "undesirable." This was sent to the senate, and, if the vote was sufficiently large and repre sentative, that body passed a resolu tion in which the too distinguished cit izen was invited, in polite diplomatic terms, to take a few years of retire ment abroad in other words, he was officially exiled fcr the good of the state. This was "ostracism," so called from the fact, it is explained, that the vot ing citizens wrote their names on oys ter shells, and it was instituted as a measure of security to the common wealth. Any citizen of great wealth or influence or who had a large per sonal following which might, in an emergency, be used to the detriment of the state was liable to receive this distinguished mark of public consid eration. It was a kind of primitive "recall." wliieh had the advantage of being equally applicable to "lne" and "outs." f Those early Greeks war wonderful fellows, who knew how to deal with knotty problems of their day,' which doubtless included grafting and other human peculiarities not unknown in our own time. If an election did not suit them or if any man swelled too far above his fellows there was al ways the leveling oyster as a whole some corrective in reserve. Christian Herald. A Cheap Dreee Shirt. As' for paper fasteners, a ferorine; actor writes to point another of their utilities: "There is, at times, in a small company especially, a aearelty of starched linen. And shirts, like King John's treasure., get lost or mlalald in the wash. You are playing a duda part, say, with naught but a flannel shirt to go with your drera coat Take a sheet of note paper or fooleeap, prod it under your vest, and where th central stud should be insert a round headed brans paper fastener!" Necessity mothers invention. London Chroniela. Mark Twain and his peculiarities were being discussed by an English class In a certain high school. One youthful orator had very . eloquently described Mark's personal appearance and had laid unusual stress on the au thor's fondness for wearing white flannels. "Geer said one much interested youth. "I don't see how the public knows whether his flannels were red, or white." Everybody's Magazine. Good Scheme. "I suppose you take excellent care of your health?" "No." replied Farmer Corntossel. "I tried every kind of medicine I could get hold of for awhile. Then I gave up and forgot about my health, and I've felt better ever since." Washing ton Star - ROUGH MARRIAGE KNOTS." " Pledges Under Which They .Were Tiefl " In Medieval Times. - The matrimonial contract today is' a thousand times more polite than it was in the middle ages. It has lost the en gaging frankness of its medieval orig inals. In the good old days when the bride was taken "for fairer, for fouler, .for better, for worse," and promised "to be buxom and bonny" to her husband, her father gave the bridegroom one of the bride's shoes as a token of the transfer of authority. The bride was made to feel the change by a blow on the head duly administered with the shoe. How much more significant and eloquent a use of the article than our "refined" custom cf throwing it after, the carriage! The husband took oath to treat his wife well, in failure of which she might leave him. As a point' of honor, however, he was allowed to "bestow on his wife and apprentices moderate castigation. An old Welsh law lays it down that three blows with a broomstick "on any part of the person except the head is a fair allowance," while another provides that the stick "be not longer than the husband's arm nor thicker than his middle finger." The bride, however, had her privi leges. In certain countries it was her accepted right the morning after the wedding day to ask for .any sum of money or any estate that she pleased, and her husband could not in honor refuse. A man had to be pretty sure of his bride's "Intentions" to run such a risk. . These old time marriages were often hard driven bargains, which unblush ingly displayed a good deal of unlovely human selfishness. Yet the rough knots that were tied a thousand years ago held faster than many of the be ribboned and bejeweled bonds we so genteely adjust today. New York World. The Metaphysical Society. The distinguished company of con tributors to the first number of the Nineteenth -Century was selected from a yet more distinguished company of wnich Lord Avebury was a member. This was the Metaphysical society, founded by James Knowles and Ten nyson in 18G9. Its members ranged from Dean Stanley to Huxley and from Tyndall to Manning, and its meetings saw such unusual sights as the Catholic Manning, supported by two Protestant bishops, presiding over a discussion among atheists, deists and freethinkers. The society formed the nucleus of the hand of contributors who supported Knowles- us editor first of the Contemporary and then of the Nineteenth Century. Westminster Ga zette. Had to Follow. One day a young colored maa of sporty appearance dropped in at a coun try livery stable and said he needed a Job. ' He looked promising, so he wad set at work greasing the axles of a buggy. In a remarkably short space of time ho reported the task finished. ' . "Look hoi-,", said his new boss, "do you mean to say you've greased all four of them wheels already?" "Well," rejoined the new man, "I've greased the two front ones." "And why haven't you greased the two hind ones?" "Well," said the new man again, "so long's the two front ones goes all right the two hinds ones jes' aachelljr got to foller!" Everybody's. Sure.

INQUIRIES ABOUT LABOR CONDITIONS (OREGON CITY PUBLICITY) Letters come daily asking for in formation about work in Oregon City. Is there work to be had? What are the wages' paid? Is there plenty of work: for my family? Some how it has been noised about that Oregon City is a manufacturing town, and - this is true for Oregon City is a manufacture ing town' and a great number of men and women work in the many mills and factories. The wagss average about 65 cents per day more than they do in the Eastern towns for unskilled labor. But the real opportunity in Oregon PERFORM ON THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ill; pi does not, lie in the cities, which in most cases are overcrowded with peo ple, all bent on working for some one at some wage or other, one man under bid fin the other. Now this is not meant to discourage ou if ,you have a mind to come to Clackamas County and w'lile Oregon is atill young. New towns are springing into ex. istence giving new opportunities to people who wish to engage, in indus trial or merchantile pursuits. All this is very well but the sanest answer to queries upon this question is provide your own work, make your own wage scale and labor conditions, and the greatest opportunity to do this is on the land where, the environments are w 'IT 1 ON THE MOODY PROPERTY uulaJuul up NO STREET PARADE: Arlington & Beckman's J mil wm WIIILII) To 15-Watt Portland Railway, Light & Power Company THE ELECTRIC STORE Beaver Buiiding, Main Street TeI.-Home.A228 Pacific, Main 115 i .- ' ' . better suited to bring up a family, and where one enjoys the freedom which only the farm can afford.

The cream wagon travels every road and cross road gathering the cream, and at tha end of every month brings the cream check which means a good salary, and one may all the time enjoy the asso ciation of his family and make a good living and be happy .
