T With laughter which bodea ill for ", its further success, the British Com- ' mons have passed on its second read ing Pearce's Daylignt Saving hill to 1 put clocks back 80 minutes in sum mer. The idea is not so crazy as it sounds; England is so far north thai it is daylight In midsummer at 3 A. M. Pearce's idea Is that people should get up and begin work 80 minutes daylight left for out-of-door enjoy ment. There Is health In the plan also earlier and have five or six hours of endless confusion with railroad time tables and other arrangements, Prl nto employers might try it. In Coos Bay setting the clocks back an hour would for some men leave some hours v of afternoon daylight. There is also some confusion caused on Coos Bay and In the Co qullle valley by lack of ulnformlty In t the varying standards of time. It may be noticed any day that the whistles which are supposed to blow at the stroke of twelve are always several minutes apart. Inquiry develops the fact that there Is so -'called "mill time," "train time and "Coos Bay tlmo," none of which agree. This often causes inconveni ence to travelers and others who at v tempt to adjust their watches to the varying standards. j. Coos Bay man w,ho made a trip Into the valley recently missed his boat in Coquille. Arrived too late, he remarked that ho thought the boat departed at a cer tain hour. It does replied one of tho residents of the place. "But," remonstrated the Coos Bay man "according to my watch It now lacks five minutes of the time," "Oh," re marked the old resident, "the boai leaves on steamboat time." While the matter has its humorous plses It is, one of bufllclent Importance to warrant some action being taken by some public body like tho Chamber of Commerce or city council to secure uniformity and avoid tho pres ent confusion and Inconvenience oc casioned by everyone going by guess, his own sweet will and a watch that cannot bo adjusted to any universal ly accepted standard on the Hay. Alexander I'liillp has published a book on reforming tho calendar. His plan Is to consider New Year's Day nnd Leap Year Day, when they occur, ns days apart, not Included in any month. That leaves 3C1 days, exact ly G2 weeks. By lengthening Feb ruary, Juno and September, and shortening January, July, May, Au gust and October, tho days in tho 'months would run 30, 30, 31; 30, 30, 31; 30, 30, 31: 30, 30, 31. Evory quarter would lie of tho samo length, just 13 weeks; Christmas, Election Day and tho glorious Fourth would always 16 the same day of tho week nnd tho calendar for any jour would uo lor nil tun oilier years. rnoro are homo advantages in a year so arranged, but it would not answer the calendar problem of Mio mnthonmtli'Ians, w.iich !s 'o .h.hukp any calendar tl,.u Mn.i ii'ltbo' gain nor lose time In- i -ir of .'iii'i d.iys, C hours, -IS inlii. iiei aud 10 in roe pnils,.

When God gives to us the clearest sight, He does not touch our eyes with love, but sorrow. John Boyle O'Reilly. SIT DOWN, SAD SOUL. Sit down, sad soul, and count The moments flying; Come, tell the sweet amount That's lost by sighing! How many smiles? A score? then laugh, and count no more; For day Is dying! Lie down, sad soul, and sleep, And no more measure Tho flight of time, nor weep The loss of leisure; But here, by this lone stream, Lie down with us and dream Of starry treasure! We dream; do thou the same; We love forever; We laugh, yet few we shame TheN gentle never. Stay, then, till sorrow dies; Then hope and happy skies Are thine, forever! Barry Cornwall. "Tho dark ages," remarked the Careful Observer at the Mllllcoma, "anywhere from 25 to 40." Money may make some people mad, but it's the lack of it that makes most of the people on Coos Bay wax warm In the neck cloth. all about this morning?" "Oh, a mouse. Teacher told us all about mouses." "Fine, sonny. Now how do you spell mouse?" A long moment's silence, and then the future editor blue-penciled the earlier communication thus: "Fa ther, I guess I was wrong. It wasn't a mouse. It was a rat." "Johnny," remarked a Coos Bay teacher to one of her young pupils, "you must comb your hair before you come to school." "I ain't got no comb." "Borrow your father's." "Pa ain't got no comb either." "Doesn't he comb his hair?" "He ain't got no hair." Willie looked up from hit does a Little novel. "Poppa," he said, "what man's 'better half mean?" "What she says," Mr. Enpequo an swered sadly. And with a sigh the little man resumed the verification of his wife's Easter millinery bill, which she had promised would be very large. MUST TELL TRUTH.

Frost strtet, Marshfleld. "What would you say If I should throw you a kiss?" asked the bash ful Marshfleld fellow to his North Bend girl. "I would say that if it was as slow as you, it would never land,' said she: whereupon he took the hint and the wedding bells soon rang. "I suppose your family is well connected," remarked the Marsh flold Old Timer of his North Bend acquaintance. "Sure," replied the North Bend man, "we've got a tele phono, olectrlc light In every room and water pipes and sewer connections." Holders of lusumnco Policies Other wise Will Get Nothing. SALEM, Ore., April 10. Holding that the testimony given by an ap plicant for admission to a beneficiary order and for an insurance policy, even though accepted as to the health and habits of the applicant, if false, does not bind the insurance society to the terms of the contract policy and operates to repudiate the latter, the Supreme Court, In a per curiam opinion, reverses the case of Marie Stewart Whigham, respondent, vs. the Supreme Court of the In dependent Order of Foresters, and remands the case with instructions to grant a nonsuit.
