And humanity, overpowered by the same glad spirit, seeks the woods and the fields to revel In the wealth of ver dure so lavishly spread out Among' the Romans this feeling found vent in their Floralia, or florea games, which began on the 28th of. April and lasted several days. We read that "nations taking more or less their ori gin from Rome have settled upon the 1st of May as the special time for fetes of the same kind. With ancients and moderns alike it was an instinctive rush into the fields to revel in the bloom which was newly presented on the meadows and the trees."

Mr. Tumey of the Tiolla department was compelled to respoua to three encores. the: diamond. Look right..Sl Fit right. It Waa Probably In Ita Original State a Vegetable Product. Originally the diamond -was probably a vegetable product exuded from some ancient tree. Positive evidence on the subject is not forthcoming, but the con currence of such' authorities as New ton. Brewster, Jameson and Lavoisier, who trace it to a vegetable source, must in the absence of decisive nega tive proof, make this hypothesis prob able. ' The crystalline form of the diamond is undoubtedly due to the action of heat and the occurrence of these stones in igneous rocks and mica slate, espe cially at the Cape, lends color to the view that. they have been metamor phosed, as has been the case with graphite. This complete change may have been directly or indirectly due to the inter nal heat of the globe or may have re suited from volcanic action. Indirect ly it would be accounted for by'the im mense heat evolved in the crumbling, fracturing and grinding together of the earth's crust in the attempt to adjust itself to the cooling and contracting in terior.

The morning of the election, Mayor Davis Issued a statement setting forth the above facts and calling upon others to go against prohibition. He declared that prohibition would shut off the street lighting, the water.for fire protection and raise the city tax to 17 mills. The u. A. U. football men are up against It. In addition to the games to be played In the regular list, the Portland newspapers have got on the schedule, and the old threadbare charges against O. A. C. because she does not make a game with Multno- mah Athletic Club are dragged from a precious and fortunate oblivion. O. A. C. men cannot play Multnomah, because the Board of Begents prohib its O. A. O. team from engaging in athletio contests "with other than col lege teams." Whether wise or unwise, tne Doara nas tne say. The regula tion Is a rule than can only be unmade by the regents themselves. If O. A, C. men should undertake to schedule a game with Multnomah, they would doubtless be hred from college. The question Is, would those In Portland who slander them, because they de dine to do so, advise them, under the circumstances to schedule a game. with Multnomah? Which is of more importance to the young gentlemen cf tne team, a continuance in college, or a football geme with Multnomah? The Name Klagmra. "Everybody pronounces Niagara wrong," said a philologist. The accent of this beautiful Indian word should not be put on the syllable 'ag,'. but on the syllable 'ar' the penult the one before the last Niagara means 'bark to the thunder.' Its accent should fall on the penult because the Indians them selves accent it there, because in prac tically all our Indian names of places the penult is the accented syllable. Th'nk of the Indian names you know. Don't yon accent nearly all of them on the syllable before the last? There are, for Instance, Toronto, Mississippi, AHe ghnt'X. Appalachicola, Narragansett, TvKK-sjloosa, Saratoga, Ticonderoga, Os wc. n. Conshohocken, Wissahickoh and Hot helaga. In all these names the ac cent is on the penult, i Niagara Is a Huron- word, -and if you can find a Huron you will find that he accents It as lie does Saratoga or Tuscaloosa.
