Probably not one sen ator in six Really wanted this bill to pass. ' Many of them hold some relationship or otand under some obligation to the great financial ee-teiatinn "'when it came to the scratch every f them save' only three voted as he stituents wanted him to vote. .rich did not have the nerve to sentiment overwhelming: -even- in- state of Connecticut.- Sacramento UT DID THE senate vote .Sentiment' -if-the people-had ; beert"nTrtWiJTtn - the measure would they have sustained the Alli son compromise amendment, or .the sraeartmanw .. ... ,y--ra lit Ij true,.as lhe .Union further. lation is experimental, or at least would have been so without practically unlimited court review; and it is . also.no doubt true that. the. senate was much influenced - by popular sentiment; yet we think that AiTTd,'Ald"rich .. and many others .they .voted to, carry out the. popular will in appearance but. in reality to ' just as' little an ' ; extent as possible.- - . - - - '. - - ' It is a splendid thing to have the confidence of your iellowmetr tohavetheir'esteem and regard ta snch n J extent that they will forget party and self-interest and all the things that. matter for yon and in secret and without hope of reward work for your good. To have j all that is worth striving far--worth the struggle to keep honestinLjhe face of temptation, worth holding fast to sincerity and tiith even when" it seemed as if intrigue and deceit held the richer promise. And hat is why George j ,E. Chamberlain is to be congratulated more for the -esteem" that is his than for the office be has won. ' ;f XZUZ ; SENATOR, B0URNE..;l WE SUPPOSE THE next legislaturerVt the - earliest legal date, before the middle of Jan- v , ; uary, 'will (unanimously ratify the4 people's 1 choice and elect F. W. Mulkey to the short, unexpired term, ending March- 4 next, And Jonathan Bourne Jr. to .the full term of six years. : As to Mulkey 's election there is no doubt, nor, so far as we. axe advised, as to Bourne's. He won fairly and squarely, both "aT the primaries in April and in . the election Monday. In our judgment ,e beat better man for that potitionbut the-people have said that they prefer Bourne to Gearin, and let the expressed will of the people be done. , We expect every i Republican and every Democrat who subscribed to state ' ment No. I to vote for Mr Bourne on the second Tiies ' day ot the legislative session, and thar he will be elected . without a doubt or any hitch whatever. . . ' Thus, it may be seen even by the casual voter, we have gained something by the primary election law. The , people have instructed the legislature what to do. That body simply has to carry pot the expressed-wilLof the people. There .will be no more 40-day struggles, and tnen elected after-midnight of the 40th day ao has happened so often in Oregon.

The fields Are usually from aO to 00 'acres In extent and are closely set with great conical mounda of green 10, It and 14 feet high. From the top of theae mounds rise some, too feathery plumes i of creamy white, which have never failed to call forth exclamations of delight from thoae who have beheld the sight . When the piumee attain a certain stage of ripeness they are picked by band and with greatest care, for each mound la set with sharp saw teeth which might Inflict A dsngerous wound to a careless hand. - The plumea are then spread out In a dry field to cure In the sun. - If this is not properly done the feathers pull off and tha plumss are spoiled.

SMILING EXPLAINED Bmillng has been studied from A physi cal standpoint by George Dumas, French physiologist and his conclusions on why we smile are - published in the Literary Digest translated and con densed from the Revue Bclentlftque. M Dumas produced artificial smiles by ap plying an electrlo current to the nerves under the lobe of the ear. . . "The muscles concerned in smiling were made to - contract -aad the opposing muscles remained quiescent but the ac tion of the members of the smiling group was unequal, so that moat of the 'eleotrlo smiles' thatthe experiment - obtained seemed to indicate srtaf rather than-Joy, particularly since the contraction around the eye exceeded that around the mouth. Nevertheless, he considers - the result a triumph for his theory, and exhibits with pride a photograph of a 'unilateral arolle caused by electric excitation of only one side of the face." ... , He says a a mile may appear without any paychologlo excitation and In Itself haa no expressive value. "And man," he eays, "haa formed the habit of associat ing the muscular sensations and the sight of these movements', withan -Agreeable impression,- so that he regards them as a sign sxpressive of this state of pleasure. To manifest it he haa formed. by association, -the habtt-of smiling and of eonsldsring the smile of others as an evidence of their satisfaction . . . We have learned to smile In different ways to Indicate irony, Indulgence, etc., and the Accentuation of the movements of different muscles has assumed tha same value as a shrug of the pronounclatlon of certain syllables of words. It is thus that psychologlo progress has made of the smile a keyboard on which we play wun more or teas skim. "Ths oriental, especially the Jananeaa. always smiles out of politeness, -even when he is sad; because it la a social fault te sadden a stranger. He h reached the maximum of self-mastery and in a sense superior state 'of psycho logic progress and of civilisation.". . f Don't Stop Learning. .

"Yousg man," said the all-wise Van derbUt, ponderously wagging the head which "fie" Relieved contained air the In formation extant upon the 'subject" of trains and railroads. "Young man, I have no time to waste on. fools." History sines then ' has proved that VanderbUt didn't know- It all, despite his belief. jCvery passenger car In America ia today equipped with one of the deeplssd air brakes. Getting It ' Well - Dong. ' t From the Albany Journal " ' One of the stats legislators antered an Albany restaurant last evening and ordered a porterhouse steak. Whsn ths portion arrived it. did not quite appeal te him as bslng sufficiently cooked. He celled the waiter. "Would you kindly take this back to the cook and tell htm to broil It a little more?" " "ure!" replied he of the white coat This la how the polite request was handed to the cook: t I "Say. Bill, that- fat guy , hacked away from this piece of horee. He wants, a little mora fire on It, er It's all up with you and your little pots. Get a move on, or you'll have blm butting In here and calling -you by your real -name.' 8of- - i - ' 1 SENTIMENT NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS.!: ' . '.Bv LAndon Carter. If willing to learn, every one has been severely enough taught that our dvl llsAtton. taken as a whole. Is helplessly In danger, without .the higher guard of sentiments or ideal feelings and It la this Intangible, ' but mighty, power which, as a community, we should strive to maintain in efficient force. In the great wheel of life there are many cogs, but . none more Important than sentiment which is the living fprce In common that makes a national consciousness. : , . There Is, of couree, much In Inherit ance; a community, a people, a nation. Are not made In A day, and civilization is the' outcome of centuries of work and development; and Juat as the alns dren unto the. third and fourth genera tion, so Also are the virtues inherited; but what greater motive power is there for the preservation of every heritage than sentiment? . The aid which , one may receive from sentiment may be of An even more p6werful help than ma terial, because of a mora subtle nature even the yearning mother finds cer tain sad solace when picturing the Once cherished childhood In the now disso lute man; and, in that same man, whose youth has been so saturated with gentle mother love, no matter how degraded, be may have beooma, there Is always a fibre In hla memory that can be touched to gentle Issues; or even the mere sug gestion of a thought prompted perhaps by gray hair, which may have been the dawn of the recollection of hla first love. ; True sentiment even tn connection with blasted hopes and death, does not weaken, but becomes an Inspiration to mae0nT future' worthy-rrt ens leva. J Sentiment If unrestricted, may of course result In morbidness, but It Is A very false aentimentallsm. which lives only with the unattainable and lavishes all of Its strength and tenderness upon memories; whereas, those sama feelings. If properly indulged In and profited, by, would- ba A- proportionately great Incen- UV f6fTn6bIenesi 'And Activity.-"" In the memory of some natures who hsve loved us we live In a conscious feeling An4-.peliet-j0f .having, been onn sac rated by thAt Affection. And -consequently- bound over- to them: and purity by their- .trust in us;, and In the. senti ment of such memories, would not sins against their teachings and lnluenoe become almost sacrilege? Healthy sentiment Inspires " activity and a keener appreciation ef dety, and what makea life dreary ia the want of motive duty la the center of moral life! "The Idea of duty, that recognition of some thing to be lived for beyond the mere satisfaction of self. is. to the moral life, what -the Addition of a greet central ganglion is to animal life." Sentiment stirs and encourages every human feeling by which nobleness and goodness and all thAt is true, fries to gslu the ascendency tn ' US, wnflnaveT there Is the slightest oportunlty; where as, common sense and advice, given mechanically and not tempered . with love, sympathy and sentiment, aeen -proportionately Ineffectual. - 'Humility and tenderness are largely taught by per sonal suffering, and- without suffering there can be little true sympathy and sentiment these two little words which comprise so, much that is hlgheat and best In humanity. Heaven, we are told, may be gained through fear as well as lovs, but the sentimental roads, guided by the love of God, ere necessarily eaalerbappier and more satisfactory from every standpoint than those which teach only the fear of hell. - 4 Superstition and Meaales. . An sptdemio of measles In Wales last year that carried off ISO children has caused Dr.-Alexander Gordon, the medi cal officer of health for Merthyr, to pro- teet against-the practice-of Allowing children to enter infected households. Parents excuse this practice on the theory that it Is better that children should have the measles and gst over the ailment a theory that medical men regard as a dangerous superstition. A well-known specialist In children's diseases gave his. opinion on the subject to a London Express representative re cently. , "Superstition Is even more "rife" In all classes today than it waa a hundred years ago,"- her said. "In no case la It more prevalent and disastrous than In the treatment of measles. "The medical profession, haa tried In vain to stamp out the old idea that every child must have meaales, aad that a child, therefore, might as well be put into the same bed with a brother or Bis ter who ts suffering from the oomplolnt " "it tea preaeedlng which ought ta he mode punishable by lew. Hundreds of livee Are sacrificed every year to it and epidemics ere spread from village to vil lage by reason of the absurd notion. A medical officer of health cited a ease which cAme under hla notice a few weeks Ago. A boy of 14 developed mea sles, but bad contracted the complaint very allghtly. . The mother, feeling sure her other children would be Infected, took no precautions. The consequence was that all her children were stricken wun the disease. ; The baby, months old. died after-two days' illness, and A little girl of I years has complstsly lost the sight of both eyes. The alight At tack In the case of ths sldsr brother In fected the younger children with viru lent septic measles. The specialist spoke of other supeW Stltlone that still prevail among igno rant people. "The standard cure for a eut finger s still the dirty cobweb," he said. "Lives are yearly saorlflocd to septic poisoning, traced to this unsanitary rsmedy. "1 saw a child in a hospital last week whose mother had Attempted to cure a broken leg by-icnlllng In three old women of her native village and imploring them te perform certain mystic spalls beside the cradle. The child nearly loet its leg In consequence of the negleot of proper Advice." , , ; . - - . , Nc)t-Particular About Spelling . . Nowadays, If a man whose name waa Browa Should spell It Broun, Broon, Br wen. or Brun, he would - no doubt get Into a variety of complicated trou bles. Such a dlverslf? of orthography does -not aeem to have annoyed the English poet Shakespeare, however, for hie name appears with- five different spellings, two of, which are In hia own handwriting. In the register In the church At Strat ford ths name of the greatest English dramatist is writtsn Shakipeare. . It Appears as Bhakspeare In the body of his will, but this same will Is Indorsed, "Mr. Sbackspere's Wilt" The poet him self wrote his nams Shakspsre and Bhakspeare, and now it io palled Shakespeare. . 1 Sir Walter Hal sigh" had numerous ways of spelling his name, It appears at different times and places as Rawley, Ralegh, Raleigh, Rawley, Rawlelgh And Raweley. i Then Is Ben Jonson'a signature In which an h" appeara.
