Lobster Twine.
-. A man who had wondered what lob
ster twine was found the answer very
simple. 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.

In the fall a brown costume always
seems to. tone with nature's coloring,
the falling leaves and the general prev
alence of reds and ween In the foli
age. This gown is what one might call a
study in autumn tints. The skirt is of
browu chiffon cloth and bangs in
straight folds to the feet, where it if
more voluminous thau the jupes we
have been wearing
The kimono bodice Is of a thin silk,
with a leaf design carried out in the
autumn tints of green, dull brown and
reds.

. 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.
It is the fashion now to deride every

GREECE HAD THE RECALL
Only In the Old Days the System Was
Called "Ostracism."
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!"

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

get hold of for awhile. Then I gave
up and forgot about my health, and
I've felt better ever since." Washing

- 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

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

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

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

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.

a mind to come to Clackamas County

New towns are springing into ex.

people who wish to engage, in indus

is very well but the sanest answer to
