Cunningham & Co ASHLANB, OREGON M OTSUlsY- Iotitp iiipnrnTnno oi ail uiorcuiun TO HAVE MEETINGS Northwestern Horticulturists Will Gather at Apple Show November 16 to 21. The horticultural commissioners of the four northwestern states will meet in conference in Spokane during the week of the seventh National Apple Show, November 16 to 21. The purpose of the session will be not only to check over the work now in progress in the various states but to agree upon modifications which may mean more uniform horticultural laws In the northwestern states. A special invitation has been ex tended by the Spokane chamber of commerce nnd the trustees of the ap ple show to the commissioners and nspectors in the northwest to meet in Spokane, and in addition to their own sessions to participate in the programs ' the fruit products congress which ill be held iu conjunction with the pple show. These conference dis cussions will extend throughout the entire six days of the apple show and ill cover a wide range of subjects. Will Record Practical Ideas. Some of the visiting commissioners nd state inspectors will take part in the programs. Every effort will be made by the apple show trustees to make the fruit products congress of definite and positive value to the or chard industry. The special problem before the show and conference is to assemble the practical ideas of the best orchardists, the type of men that are seldom heard from. Every effort will be made to get these men from the different districts into the general discussions on dif ferent subjects under consideration, and not only to get their opinions ad vanced for the benefit of those at the meetings, but also to have their talks taken by stenographers that they may be of permanent value to the or hard business of the northwest. "CAMEL'S HAIR" BRUSHES. The Vary Beat of Them Are Made From Squirrels' Tails. It may sound rather strange, but It nevertheless true that no brushes re ever made of camels hair, yet they ure asked for dully and sold aa such. ' There are very many kinds of hair used In the making of "camel's hair" brushes, sucb as bear, fox, rabbit. squirrel, etc., and. Indeed, one au thority states that over 150 sorts of brushes are knowu as "camel's hair" brushes, but there is only one detlni tion accepted by the British board of trade I. e.. "camel's hair" brushes mado from squirrel tails, these being the best and most expensive. Ileal camel's balr Is absolutely use less for making brushes and resembles soft tow of a yellow-brownish color, The mane of a camel is the only part which could be used, and possibly a dozen brushes could be made from one ujune. As a matter of fact, there are only two specimens of brushes made from the actual balr of a camel in existence. The reason for the term "camel's hair" is the fact that a man named Camel was the first oue to make these liner kinds of brushes, and tbey became generally known as "real camel's balr brushes."

Never wus there a blacker daughter of Africa tbito was Rosabella Jackson when, as a girl of but thirteen years, she was taken Into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Deeue. a childless couple who purposed training Rosa belle Into a muld of all work. This tbey succeed' ed In doing, and so many admirable traits of character were developed In ftosu belle that tbey became much at tached to the girl, and ber affection for them wus pronounced. One day when she was nearly thirty years old she came to Mrs. Deene to ask "favab" of somewhat startling character. "I wants to ask Jess one favab. Mis' Deene," she said. "DIs Is do favah.

Wbenpotutoes were first tiRed for food it was the "seed" or "apple" that whs used, and it whs some time before the tuber wits found 10 be the most delicious food. Up to the end of the seventeenth century the potato was out of the reach of people of moderate incomes. It Is recorded that Id 1002 potatoes were sold at 1 shilling (25 eutst h pound in the London markets. but the sirle was small because so ninny people believed that the potato caused leprosy and fever. Others de-1 dared l hut they were endangering their souls If they ate the potato, since the tuber was uot mentioned in the Bible The late Duke of Argyll In his his tory of Scotland says that little or nothing wus known of the potato in Scotland until long past the middle of the eighteenth century. The Duchess f Buccleuch. In ber "Household Book" for the year 1701. speaks of the potato s "an esculent, of great rarity." Hugh Miller, in bis "Schools and Schoolmasters." says that his mater nal grandfather about the year 1740 used to bring home In bis pocket some three or four potatoes as great rarities grown by the gentry, for he was a friend of the bead gardener at Balnu- gown castle. Tbomns Carlyle tells us that bis father got possession of four potatoes and knew so little about them that he bid them away for a possible time of want and that potatoes were haved to be eaten at Halloween. There is no doubt that the Irish were the Orst people to recognize the value of the pottito as a staftle article of food. Youth's Companion. COLORED MOTION PICTURES They Are Made by Using Screen of Red and Green Glass. There are colored motiou pictures that are made so by hand, each little picture being painted separately. In making pictures "in natural colors" the film Is the same as that of tbe or dinary motion picture. But In making the speed Is twice as fast, thirty- two pictures to the second. 'Colored" pictures are photographed through mats or screens of colored glass. Two primary colors are used. red nnd green, with a sympathetic touch of blue. When the machine that makes the photograph Is stnrted a de vice causeR the red screen, to pass be fore the lens as the first photograph is taken, and tbe green screen passes the same way ns the following picture is made. They continue to do so alter nately as the 01m continues to be ex posed. The negative is developed and n posi tive printed, and when run through the projecting machine the color screens are used In the same way as when the negative was made, red and green pictures being flashed on the screen alternately. Those colors that are in sympathy with the red nre brought out. nnd those that are in sym- pnthy with the green are shown In the ime way. nnd through the persist ence or vision we do not notice tbe changes. Instead they blend harmoni ously to our delight Charles M. Seay In Ameiicnn Boy. When Gas Was New. There Is a tradition to the effect that when domestic lighting by gas was still a novelty Sir Walter Scott Intro duced it into every room and staircase of the house that he was building at Abhotsford and did so without provi sion for any unexpected failure. His entering Into (tossesslon was made tbe occasion for n house warming on a scale of considerable mngnitude. and In the very middle of the festivities all the lights suddenly went out. The guests were left In absolute darkness until such time mounted messengers could return from Melrose, wblther they bad been dispatched with Instruc tions to collect nil the tallow candles and tin sconces or candlesticks which the village contained.
