THE POKER.
Hardly Changad 8inc th Daya of tha
Early Matal Workara.
Al the first fireplace was a circle of
stones at tbe mouth of a cave, so the
flm poker was a piece of green stick.
It was necessary to bare something to
knock the logs together with when
they began to bum through tbe mid
die, and as primitive man did not wear
boots be could not use them to kick
tbe hot embers Into place, as some of
os do to this day. That was a refine
ment. If It can be so called, which
came later. Tbe green stick lasted on
til tbe age of Iron and was then super
seded by a bandy piece of metal which
possessed tbe advantage of being
stronger and of not burning away.
But since tbe days of tbe early work
ers In metal we have made no ad
vance.
The poker has hardly. If at all,
changed through tbe ages. It Is, as It
always has been, simple and severe of
outline. It lends itself to no vagaries
and to little ornamentation. It Is one
of tbe few things which no one has
ever patented, because It may be said
to have leaped from tbe first foundry
perfect and complete la every respect.
The only notable attempt at Improve
ment has been to make tbe poker of
brass with a twisted column, but even
then tbe iron poker lurks at the side
and Is known as tbe curate, because It
does all the rough work. The orna
mental poker Is not a poker at all, but
a sham, an upstart masquerading un
der an ancient and honored name and
gaining credit for duties which it Is
unable to perform. London Globe.
A GREAT BATTLE.
Tha One Known In History as tha
"Victory of Victories."
Tbe battle which Is known In his
tory as tbe "Victory of Victories" took
place at Nebavend, In Ecbatana, and
was fought between the new Moslem
power In C37 and the empire of Per
sia, then one of tbe most powerful of
tbe eastern monarchies. It was one of
the most absolutely decisive battles In
the history of war, and It was all the
more amazing by reason of tbe fact
that It was won by a people who
twenty years before had been 'un
known barbarians, lost In the deserts
of Arabia.
Arabian historians place the Persian
loss In a single day at 100,000 men
killed. This may be and probably Is
an exaggeration, but tbe fact remains
that the Persian dynasty came to an
end when the battle was over and that
Zoroastrlanlsm, which had been tbe re
ligion of Persia for over a thousand
years, was at once supplanted by Is
lam. Its modern representatives, as Is
well known, are now the Parsees of
India.
Tbe victory was so absolutely de
cisive that it extended the Arabian do
minions over the whole of the region
lying between the Caspian sea and the
Indian ocean. With the exception per
haps of the battle of Tours, no single
fight ever made such a difference In
the after history of the world.
She Knaw tha Reason.
FJe was smoking and musing over
the ways of the world. "Odd, Isn't it,"
he said at Inst, "how few people at
tain their Ideals in this world?"
In what way?" inquired bis wife
suspiciously, for she was not a woman
to be caught off her guard.
Well," he replied slowly, "I was
thinking of Wllmer when I spoke. Ue
bad an Ideal woman that he was al
ways talking about when be was In
college. She was tall and stately In
bis dreams, and be seemed to have no
place In his heart for a small woman,
and yet and yet"
"Well?"
"Why, he finally married a little
thing who hardly comes to bis shoul
der. I wonder why It was."
"Perhaps. Fred," she said very slow
ly and distinctly, "he is like tbe ma
jority of other men and was afraid
to take any one of his size."
He changed the subject.

A Shocking Trea.
There Is a peculiar tree In the for
ests of central India which has most
curious characteristics. Tbe leaves of
tbe tree are of a highly sensitive na
ture and so full of electricity that
whoever touches one of them receives
an electric shock. It has a very singu
lar effect upon a magnetic needle and
will influence It at a distance of even
seventy feet The electrical strength
of the trees varies according to the
time of day, it being strongest at mid
day and weakest at midnight. In wet
weather Its powers disappear alto
gether. Birds never approach the
tree, nor have Insects ever been seen
upon It.
Old English Fairs.
Fairs and fensts were formerly held
In churchyards lu honor of the saint
to whom the church was dedicated.
n consequence of these popular gath
erings being much abused tbey bad
to be suppressed In the thirteenth year
of the retgu of King Edward III., as
appears by the following extract. Quot
ed by Spelmnn: "And the Kyugo com
mandeth and forblddeth that from
henceforth neither fairs and markets
shall be kept In churchyards for the
honour of the Church. Given at West
minster, the VIII of Octobre. the XIII
yenre of Kynge Edwarde's rclgne."

AY, MR. LAND-BUYER,
Did you know that "Underwood" and "Hood River" are in
the same Township and Range, and that the two depots
are only one and one-fourth miles apart? Stop
and think what this means--Soil, Climate and natural
conditions absolutely identical.
Our side of the river is "new" so far as development is concerned. We
need more people. We need you, especially if you are willing to take the
raw land and improve it, so if you find that you haven't the price for an or
chard in Hood River, come over and give us a chance to show you what we
have. You will find that a dollar will go very much further toward buying an
acre of land here, than it will in any of our neighboring districts. Write or
phone me and I will see that you are met at the depot or dock.
