Newspaper Page TextTHE KBW AGE. POKT-LASD, OREGON. More than $760,000 worth of artifi cial milk was exported laat year from Germany and Franco to tbo United States. ;f The latest census of tho population of Italy shows that tho birth rate, which was 87 per 1,000 In 1880, had funk to 32.47 per 1,000 lu 1001. For tho benefit of tho lako com merce tho "West Neeblsu chnnncl will bo opened at a cost of $5,000,000. Tho work will require four years' time. Uussla has a number of monasteries In Palestine. A recent traveler was surprised to And them stronuly forti fied and bavlug loopholes for guns. ' Tho Bakers and Confectioners' In ternational Union Issued Its first char ter to a local union of tho craft In Torto Hlco recently. Tbo local be gins with scevnty-two members. The Indians camping In tepees on tho grounds surrounding tho Indian building at tho world's fair number more than 200 and represent many different tribes, somo of tbcm almost extinct Mme. Bernhardt, tho French trage dienne, employed a young artist to do Ign soma stago dresses for hor. Bho was delighted with tho work, and on hearing his price, exclaimed: "More, more. You havo only nsked working pay. What I wish to pay for Is your talent," and sho forthwith doubled the amount. Exporters of gold always prefer to ahlp In bars rather than coin, simply becauso of tho greater subjection of coin to abrasion In transit Thoy can not be packed as closely as bars. It Is aid that $1,000,000 In American ea gles may show as great a loss as $100 from abrasion In being carried from New York to Paris. Iceland, cut off from the rest of the .world save for slow malls, Is to bo linked to other countries by means of .wireless telegraphic connection with the Bhotland Islands. This la to fol low tho action of the Icolandlc Par liament, at Its last session, In voting a yearly subsidy of $0,380 for twenty years for that purpose, Tho public works committee of Bir mingham, England, In submitting to tho city council a proposition for tho construction of on additional under ground lavatory, etc., announced that wlicro small charges nro mailo thero aro profit possibilities lu conveniences of this kind. The commltteo said that tho four underground lavatories, etc., were paying tho city a net profit of $2,433 a year. Eloquent of tho state of affairs In London's fire department Is this no tice Issued by tho tiro chief: "I havo noticed that, when turning out at many stations, tho movements of tho horses are very slow. Instructions aro to bo given that the horses aro to ho trained so as to conio up to tho appli ances smartly. I desire that later on the horses shall go to tho machines without being led." Travelers sny that thoro Is a certain Indefinable, uuuamahlo smell peculiar to Japanese steamships that makes life on board of them not worth living, It has been traced to 'dalkon," a largo leaved vegetable as dear to tho Japa nese palata as cabbago to tho Teu tonic. It Is a kind of white radish, boiled and cut In strips and served In everything. "Tho smell and flavor aro repulslvo beyond anything tho East has offered to our senses," says a war correspondent Tbo Unlversallat church at Portland, Mo., has a mammoth organ. In It aro over 6,000 pipes, the smallost a pic colo, being half an Inch long, and tho largest, a don bio open diapason, or 32-foot "G" pipe. Tho vox humana atop alone, having slxty-ouo pipes, cost $000. Tho four plporooms aro each as Inrgn as an ordinary bed chambor. Tho organ was voiced by J, II. Brown, who voiced the organ at Wostmtuster Abbey. Tbo organ Is blown by a three-horsepower electric motor, Mra. Andrew Carnegie cares llttlo or nothing for Jewels. When sho goes out to a function or to tho opera sho sometimes wears pearls, but these nro not of fabulous also or price. They lire extremely modest and afford quite a contrast to tho Jowels which some women wear. At best, Mrs, Oaruoglo does not euro for functions or society In general. Hho makes a delightful hostess at Hklbo Castle, where she has recelvod royalty, and theso aro quali ties which always win with tho higher classes abroad. 0.0 MAO FROM MONOTONY. Lighthouse-Keeper Often Huffer Vrom the Inevitable IeoUtlou, People who read book and nil do In UiU day will recall Kipling's story of the lonoly llghtkeenor who became mad from the monotony of hla situa tion. While the story was Action, It nevertheless was In accordance with many actual occurrences. A corro apondent submittal the question to tho ItghthouAo board nnd found Mint, whllo there hud been no mich cases as that of KIplliiK's character, Dowxe, thero had been many which xhowed tho mad dening effect of monotony nnd Isolation upon tho human mind. Tho madness of tho lighthouse Is much like that of tho desert, for they nro traceable to a like cause. In tho desert there Is monotony of silence. At sou there la monotony of sound, One Is as bad us the other, sluco loth de rive their entire pain from mental ef fect. It Is u fenrful disease, not yet fully understood, though many noted alienists havo mado n fcttidy of It. This government maintains l.MM lighthouses, and about 100 of them are Isolated, and communication with tho outaldo world may bo Interrupted sometimes for months, If a man Is taken from tho ordinary .walks of life, where hu mingles with tils fellow mun, and sent to a light house where no human faco Is seen except that of tho ever-present assist ant and so uound Is beard save the roaring of the wind and wave, ho has been transferred from normal to most abnormal conditions, Jn a remarkably abort tlmo keeper tuid assistant tare talked out, Thcu they bcgln to wear on each other, and soon they fall to quarreling. Some times melancholia attacks ono of them, and unloss ho Is speedily relieved his mental balance is disturbed. When the disturbance becomes extreme it takes either a homicidal or suicidal turn, and tho unfortunate has to be watched closely and sometimes con fined, to keep him from doing violence to himself or others. It Is well known that the MInot Lodge light Is noted for tho number of men who have gone crnzy In It, and for that reason Is an object of Inter est to students of mental diseases. It Is, as ovorybody knows, a piece of en gineering of tho very highest order, being In that respect second only to tho famous Eddystono light Moro than a year was consumed in getting a foundation for It, and so high nro tho tides and so terrific tho storms that tho cntrnncc to the. light is more than forty feet nlwvo tho water. Then, ono abovo tho other, como tho five rooms occupied by tho keepers and used for storago purposes, then the watchroom, and finally tho lantern. Tho tower, being circular and npac greatly In demand, naturally every thing Is mado to conform, so that no room shall be lost. Even tho beds on which tho men sleep aro curved. Ev erything Is round. The government has done the best It could to mnko life thero as learablo as possible, and keeps five men stationed there, so that they may go ashoro os often as tho chanco Is afforded without detriment to the service. Indianapolis Sentinel. MEANING OF "SHODDY." Not Ho Much Munlpulatlon of Fabrics Now n a Formerly. "I would like you to tell me Just what Is meant by tho term 'shoddy' as applied to cloth used in clothing," said tho young man who was looking for clothing in tho storo of a well-informed clothier. "I havo heard of 'shoddy" all my life, and I do not Just understand exactly what Is meant by It" "Well," ropeated tho clothier, 'shod dy' Is used In tho construction of many fabrics which go Into tho manufacture of clothing for both men and women. It Is so skillfully combined In recent years that It Is not possible for any but an exnert to detect it until tho goods aro worn to somo extont 'Shod dy cloths aro mado from cheap yarns spun over cotton warp. Theso yams aro spun from woolen rags chopped Into waste, then carded and spun into thread of various sires nnd strength. Tho cloth Is soft, nlcoly finished, 'and nttroctlvo In nppearanco, and compar atively frco from Imperfections. Tho goods cost tho clothier from 16 to HO cents a yard, and a larger yardago li consumed than of any other kind of goods manufactured for men's wear. "For tho last fow years thero bun not been as much manipulation of fab rics as formerly, owing to the reason ableness of tbo prices for wool, but quite- recently clothing wools have ad vanced to such a level that manufac turers havo been forced to resort to tho uso of substitutes In ofller to pro duce a cloth that will meet the popular demand. Ouo of tho advantages of tho shoddy Is that It can bo wov'en Into pattern similar to thoso of tbo most expcnslvo woolens, which Is not al ways truo with respect to pure cotton yarn, which hying hnrd nnd wiry does not neld Itself to soft effects. Utlea Observer. 18 YOUR CLOCK SET FA8T? l'leueaui Deception that Is Very Com uion in Households. It la n common thing to find tho clocks In nlno out of ten households cither fifteen minutes or hnlf an hour fast, and should you happon to be In a hurry or mention the fact that you havo to be going, you aro at onco reas sured by Uie fact that you havo no causo to hurry, as tho clock Is so much ahead of tho tlmo. Has It over occurred to you why clocks aro usually put ahead? Somo physicians have said It Is due to lazi ness, for It Is such a sntlHfnctlon to the buy man to tlnd when ho has to get up ut 7 In the morning, nnd strains his half-closed eyes to look at the clock, that It Is a half hour fast nnd ho has so much mora time to doze, with tho result that he oversleeps himself any how, and iuIshch his train or boat. Raid a Walnut street watchmaker, when asked about the subject: "Yes, It Is a peculiar tiling with most people to put their clocks fast, nnd, while thero may be somo satisfaction lu It when It comes to dozing a llttlo longer, thoro Is really no ndvantago in It, for when you wako up, say, at 0 and glance at the' clock and It registers 0:80, tho fact remains that It Is a half hour fast. While this may make you foel easier, knowing that you still have thirty minutes to dote; I confess I don't see much advantage In it. "Why not havo tho clock right? It is the same thing In the end. "Suppose railroads were to put this into practice, how many trains do you think pcoplo would miss thereby? This putting clocks fast Is really only a pleasant form of deception which peo ple like to practice on themselves, but It does more harm than good." ICau sns city Htnr. ICvury l'oraou Hua Homo.
