GOOD CLUB MEETING Talent Commercial Club 1 1 a First CLtMH Meeting Adressed by Professor Itcinier. The Talent Commercial Club held one of the best meetings of Its his tory Tuesday evening, President Ful ler being in the chair. Mr. Fuller spoke of the fact that in the Oregon Almanac, of which 3S0.000 have been put in circulution. Talent had received but poor representation, and suggesting that the club get in touch with the Oregon Development League before the next year's al manac was compiled, and see that the merits of this burg had a suita ble presentation. The question of changiug the name from Commercial Club to some thing more clearly settiug forth its true merits in the way of a club for the improvement of Its members rather than its secondary object of promoting the commercial Interests of the town, was discussed, but a motion to change to some other name was voted down. The principal event of the evening was an address by Prof. C. A. Rei- , mer of the state experiment station. His subject was "Commercial Fertil- izers," and he spoke specially as to their use in the Rogue river valley. Much of the soil, he said, was low in nitrogens, while some was low in phosphoric acid. The latter could be Improved by the UGe of bone fertiliz ers and the nitrogen could be in creased by growing legumes. The address was very interesting as well as very instructive.'and was carefully listened to by all present. Mr. Osgood of Medford was pres ent and addressed the club upon the proposed scheme of an irrigation project covering the upper Bear creek valley. It was proposed, he said, to put a reservoir above Ash land and store water during the win ter and spring for use in the valley. The project was estimated to cost about one-half million dollars. The first thing to do was to sign up the land owners. The initial cost would be $.v$.50 per acre, with a perpetual water tax of $2.50 per acre pnnually. He said that there had been 1,000 acres al ready signed up and that there must be 4,000 acres all told signed up be fore work commenced. .The $58.50 would be divided into ten annual I Payments, bearing interest, of course. " 3 uuauic IU ray on wiiicu blue of Bear creek the project would run. He declared that the work would commence as soon as the requisite amount of land was signed up. After considerable discussion of the matter of the desirability of a ! CreaD,ery in Talent a motion Was passed instructing President Fuller to appoint a committee to investigate the matter. The next meeting of the Commer cial Club will be held Tuesday, March 18. Another first-class pro gram is promised. Professor Reimer will continue his talks on fertilizers at the first meeting in April. These talks will probably be given once a month by Mr. Reimer on fertilizers and othpr subjects of interest to farmers and fruit raisers. The Forty-Year Test.

The window tax in England, a very old tax commencing in the reign of William III., was not discontinued un til Lord Halifax changed it to the house duty in 1851. It must have caused a great amount of consumption, annemiu and other foul air maladies, for iu 1S50 there were only an average of six windows in English houses. Indeed, the British architects nre not yet free from the bad influence of this tax. In very many old houses in England today there may be seen mock windows painted ou the walls for symmetry hideous things. Not only were glazed windows taxed, but any hole iu the wall was Included. Indeed, iu the early days only very rich people in England had glass windows, and so precious were these that they were curried from one house to another when people moved their quarters. Curious dodges were practiced to es cape the tax. such as extending one window across two houses or making a very wide division between two panes of glass. The loss to the nation must have been u hundredfold the revenues collected from this bad tax. Boston Herald. The Word -Set." What is the favorite word of the English language? The Germans have their "selling" and "zug," which cover many meanings. But we bent them In the one word not "post" which you might suspect of the supremacy of am biguitybut "set." One always thought that "post" was the word that meant all things and nothing. The punster should watjh the word "set." which has achieved neurly seventy columns iu the new Euglhsh dictionary. It Is n small word, but its meanings are al most unlimited. You should set to work on the word, which you use every day in a hundred senses. And it vould ho a pleasant, popular game to set down the number of ways Iu which you have used thnt word during the day. "Set to partners" you might call It. London Chronicle. Hard Questions.

Greek figures of men appenr tiMler nnd more graceful than those of mod erns. Modern artists make tho upright figure seven and one-half times the length of the head. The Greeks made It eight times, lengthening the shin, nnd the longer sweep from knee to beel gave the figure Increased grace nnd dignity. The same plan was frequent ly adopted by Lord Lclghtou, lu whose paintings the sauie effect is obtained. His Method. "I always did make a hit with the women," bragged Henry VIII.

Charm of the Mu.io of Their VoicM to Thair Little Ones. They enme to me in a dream those Hinging mothers. A long, slow pro cession of shadowy forma, beautiful as rainbows and as wonderful, singing a strange haunting melody full of mys tery. First came troops of girl moth ers, clasping their little babes with a tenderness that was half fear and with wide, inquiring eyes filled with holy light and the consciousness of the deepest realization of life. Then came strong mothers of youth, leading hap py faced children and confident with a sense of power, buoyant with hope and radiant with promise. Last of all came silver mothers of men. leauing on their stalwart sons and, though t towed witp years, yet gloriously young In spirit, hallowed by memories and glowing with the victory of achievement And I, a mother, watch ing these pass by and listening to their haunting music, felt as never before the divine significance of motherhood and all the hidden meanings iu the word "singing." All this is music in a marvelous mood, but there Is no music on earth more appealing or more far reaching than the voice of a mother singing to her little ones. No audience ever lis tened with keener rapture to any prima donna thiin thnt little group gathered In the twilight hour at a mother's knee. It is her dearest joy at thnt time to put Into music all the sacredness of motherhood aud the hap piness of childhood, to tench and to chnrtn and to tune the hearts of her children. Anne P. L.

Two stories of the intelligence nnd sympathy of our feline friends were told me during one of my numerous visits to the Tower of London while I was living in England. Southampton was a prisoner in the Tower with the Earl of Essex during Elizabeth's reign. In some strange way or by some unrecognized faculty a fa vorite cat of his fouud his abode aud suddenly upieured to him, having made an entrance down the chimney. After bis release by James 1., Southampton hud his picture painted with his faith ful friend at his side. The portrait. I believe, cun today be Been at YV 11 beck abbey. The other tale Is of Sir Henry Wyatt, who was committed to the Tower dur ing the reign of Richard III. and suf fered much from want of clothing and food. He would have perished if a cat had not come down into his room and warmed him by lying on his breast and saved him from starvation ' by bringing him an occasional pigeon caught on the lends. Although the keeper was under orders not to im prove his food, he agreed to cook any thing which Sir Henry provided, nnd the pigeons which the cut brought BUVfd his life. He also had a picture painted showing the cut offering a pig eon through the bars of his cell. Our Dumb Friends. Ice Cream and a Nerve, Why do we sometimes get un ache in the nose when eating Ice cream. There Is a nerve runuing along the back of the uose which doctors call (he un terior palatine nerve. This has a brauch running along the base of the nasal cavity and another branch, run ning along the palate. The ends of these branches Join through Oner branches which run through openings in the palate near the front teeth. When we get some Ice cream In the mouth nnd keep It in front for n mo ment, so that the irritation produced by the cold reaches the tine connect ing branchi's the sensation may be carried to the hrain-h In tlif- uose. Ir ritation of thN branch produces th sensation of pain. We get the same "Misution when breathing very cold a t. New York American. She Waa Anticipating.
