SEAMSTRESSES IN PARIS THE PARIS seamstress is called a "midlnette," from mldl, or noonday, when she Is often seen on the streets of the capital, ? where she strolls along, smiling, chatting, as she munches her mld day meal, which has cost but a few cents, and usually consists of a sau sage and a piece of bread. She works long hours, often under deplorable conditions, though some of the biggest shops have been busy lately in bettering her lot. Each midlnette is a specialist in her line, as she does only one thing, and can not hope to' learn how to make a complete drees. All work is pre pared for the seamstresses by expert hands in the big dressmaking estab lishments, who assemble and com plete the dress when its various parts are finished. The embroidery, which is such a ment bill until midsummer. If Oregon nominates but two con gressmen in April and the apportion ent bill, providing for three, is ssed in May, June, or later, there will be confusion worse confounded. Similar conditions of confusion can easily arise In other states. These are aufficient reasons for the senate to pass the apportionment measure before the special session adjourns, and It is probable that Oregon and other Pacific coast senators will do what they can to further such action. ALMOST IN SIGHT "0" NLY A FEW years hence steamers approaching the Olympic will becoming from Europe . and the Atlantic coast through the. Panama canal to Portland and other Pacific ports The builders of the canal foresaw this and wisely changed their plans to provide greater width and depth It would become Portland to follow the example of the older ports and In this city. It was attended by larger number of people than .eve gathered here on a similar occasion. It waa marked by a 'greater pro fusion ot floral offerings than ever appeared at a funeral In this city of flowers The bowed heads of those who watched the solemn cortege pass waa silent but eloquent tribute to the services and memory of the brave fire fighter. It was an humble token of the appreciation of hla life and work by all Portland. It was a touching reminder that though we appear to be heart-hardened by every day affairs, we are, after all, In a moment of emergency deeply sensible to the virtues and merits of devoted men. And, while the event Is yet fresh In mind, It Is pertinent to ask our selves why it Is that we wait until men are dead to offer some token ot our "esteem? Why do we not make some acknowledgments to the liv ing that we are not oblivious to their virtues and not unmindful of their services? And it Is further pertinent to re member that the conditions that cut this man down in his prime were in stalled In this city over the protest of prudent men and In violation of every rule of public safety. It la likewise pertinent In this hour of mourning, to also recall that all over this city there are tenements and apartments of indifferent construc tion In which the dwellers dally fac a thousand deaths. In his death, the fallen, ffre chief continued the line ot duty that had been the theme of his devotion In life. We cannot contemplate his sac rifice without being reminded that as a city we owe a stern duty In so regulating the construction of build ings and the environments ot the living that fire and death shall not continue to stalk. Cunniogriam Decision, From the Taooma Tribune. The eommlealoner of the general land office ot the department of the Interior lias cancelled the Cunningham eoal elalma In Alaaka, thirty-three en tries valued at many millions of dol lar The deelaton of the etfmmlMloner la a repudiation or the Baiunrer regime and a defeat ot the Morsan-Ousi en helm plan to grab the richest coal fields In the world. Thus Is settled the oaae which haa ao long aaitated the minds ot Alaskans, as It Is not likely that an appeal to the United States supreme court will alter the deolaion of Seoretary Fisher's department. In which he concurs. The reason for the sovernment's ac tion, aa stated in the dlsDatehea. Is laudable enough. It seeks to prevent a monopoly of the northern coalfields by any combination, and alao guards agalnat fraudulent entry of elalma. But tne governments action means a more vital fact yet; It oonaervea for. great Alaskan coal lands. It opens, or should open Immediately, the coal flelda to a broad development which tha north has long deelred and cer talnly needed. It will Increase Alaaka's population, find employment for thou sands of men and furnish the ftneat kind of coal to Alaska for use In Alaskan mines. No more high freight rates from the sound should be necessary. No more should the United States have to buy coal from British Columbia to develop Its own resources. The elimination ot British Columbia will leave open as a market for the Alaaka fwel tha en tire Paclflo coast Steamship trade will not suffer, but rather benefit, as the amount of trafflo between Alaska and Puget sound or the lower ooaat will far exceed the present output of Brltlah Columbia alone when the north ern coal lands are once put under tha process of development ; SMALL CIIANGB ' Thua far. and no farther, Mr. Sun, If eonareas will psse'the reciprocity put ana isae a recess UU fill, Ui couu M7 ' w noi compiain. , .

SrPPLEMEXTIXG SELF HELP transportation If Portland rises to the occasion, the Panama canal will bring big steamers to this city from Atlantic and European ports, Just as the Ore gonian says. The big steamer is to be the means of reducing freight from the Atlantic to the Pacific to an HE SUDDEN outbreak and gen eral spread of the seamen's strike, centering in British ports but felt wherever the big ships ply, is evidence, first, of the close interweaving and interdepend ence of tbe world's business. The great machine is ao delicately bal anced In Its' working that It has to operate as a complete whole no one part being small or insignificant. What use is It to buy foodstuffs. depending on their arrival, when there are no ships to carry them? How can factories operate when raw material cannot be delivered? Vain is It to count on arrival of ocean- borne passengers for . family, busi ness, or a hundred other reasons, when the ships Jif 'helpless in the harbors. The life, of the world is suspended while the men that own and operate the ships, and the sail ors who navigate them are fighting out their differences. And, as usual in all such ques tions the public Is the real sufferer. No possibility exists for excluding the dara'age to the community. When the railroad men in France went on strike Premier Briand called the military laws into play before the food supply of Paris was cut off. The outcry of the-labor unions was loud. The natural right 'to strike was, It was alleged, infringed. But the men were not the losers in the end, because the rights and wrongs of the workers were fairly considered when the strike had been quelled and ended, and the evil passions that were mounting higher each day the strike lasted were stilled. The sympathy of the public- with the worker was never so consistently ex pressed as Is the case today. But when, as In the present case, the property, convenience, the for tune, even the life itself, of inno cent bystanders Is suddenly assailed, sympathy, and a reasonable public opinion have no fair play. The worst damage falls on the wrong shoulders, and essential justice Is endangered when prejudice is roused. Conquest of Meningitis. From Harper's Weekly. Now that the pitiful story of menln- gltle la ended for the curative effi ciency of the Flexner serum ta scientifi cally established, and It has taken Its place alongside vaccine and diphtheria ann-toxm it is pleasant to recall that the scourge barely outlived a century. The first epldemlo that we know of broke out In Switzerland In ltOt. and exactly 100 years later Or. Simon Flex ner waa officially Investigating an epi demic In New Tork city, and laying out a campaign for the methodical and sci entific conquest of "spotted fever." There are no disheartening pages tn tho closing chapter of the story of men ingitis. In September, 1908, Dr. Flex ner was able to announce that iSt cases of meningitis had been treated with the serum in various parts of the wortd. Of this number it cases, were properly eliminated from analysis, for one reason or another. Of the remain ing 391 'cases (in all of which bacter iological examination of fluid drawn from the spinal canal had demonstrated the presence of the dlplococcua) 295 had recovered and 98 had died. The percentage of recoveries was, therefore, 75 and the mortality was 25 per cent Perhapa the most strikng result was shown In the case of babies. Epidemic meningitis has been uniformly fatal to infants under the age of 1 year. The author of a famous text book on the diseases of children (Dr. Holt) reports that, of the 20 cases under 1 year treated In his hospital wards, not one recovered. But In the series of 393 cases treated with the Flexner serum, 82 were Infants under 1 year of 'age, and half of them recovered.

One of the moat adventurous of the circumnavigators of England n the lat ter part of the seventeenth century was William Dampler who, aa bgoca neer, pirate, captain of the navy, and hydrographer, had one of the most eventful careers 'Of any one who ever sailed the seas. Hla parents, who were very poor, died when Dampler waa quite Xung, and he being compelled to shift for himself, went first to sea In charge of a Weymouth trader. The hardships of a voyage to Newfoundland disgusted htm, and he returned home. Sea life holding a strong fascination for him, and the Dutch .war of 1(73 having brok en out. he at once engaged In tbe royal navy and waa present In a number of bard fought engagements. Tbe first Important voyage of Dam pler waa when be engaged to ship on board a ketch bound for the Bay of Campeohy, with a cargo of rum and sugar to exchange for logwood. He paid particular attention to hydrography and pilotage, and In his account of this voyage he has described iho coast of Tucatan from that landfall near Cape Catochs to the anchorage at One-Bush- a-ulnea Plirs. The eventual savin of i Key with minuteness and accuracy. human life is Incalculable. ' Incidentally. While homeward bound Dampler notes the outcome will probably act as a that the ketch blundered onto almost check upon mischievous legislation every shoal, reef, or Island on tha way, growing out of the unintelligent sent!-; as well, as on to some that were not In mentalities of those who would prevent animal experimentation of all kinds. There are still legislators who see the wisdom of preliminary ..experiments be ing made upon guinea pigs and monkeys instead of human beings.

OYS IN PORTLAND are not the only sufferers from tho spread of ' the cocaine evil. Pennsylvania is engaged in an active campaign. Detectives for the board of health In Philadelphia have found that the sale did not cease when the druggists were pursued and punished who retailed the drug over the counter. They ascertained that in one drug store alone twenty prescriptions were made out by one so-called physician, calling for amounts of cocaine varying between 160 and 200 grains. They caught a negro peddling the drug in the ten derloin district who confessed that he had paid a doctor 50 cents for a prescription. The district attorney declares that the case of this Doctor Kiley is by no means the only one that will be very promptly taken Into court. All this appears In Philadelphia, where there has been for two or three years a vigorous agitation against the cocaine evil. The spread of. the habit Is so insidious that, In spite of the vigilance of the author ities, the conditions above described have existed and are only now re vealed. f f It Is highly Important that a strong resistance to spread of the Broad Utility of Banana. From the Washington Herald. To the average northerner, the banana Is but a fruit seldom eaten In any other manner than raw, but In the tropics It is often baked or fried, forming a most palatable food. Banana flour makes very acceptable cake and bread. The flour Is prepared by cutting the banana in pieces, frying, and then grinding. It is difficult to make the flour where the climate la both warm and moist, but there are many elevated and comparatively dry places near rich lowlands, where the fruit may be dried and ground, and thua preserved for long distance ship ment. Extensive banana flour factories will ultimately be established in the principal banana growing sections, where the undersized fruit will be con verted into flour, or perhaps Into, some new and delicious breakfast food. "Banana flakes" may sooty bo with us. wuen uii DBJianuB are piacea in an in closed barrel and , allowed to ferment, they will produce an excellent vinegar. From the ripe fruit a delicious cordial is made. Banana sugar is made In Jamaica and banana coffee In British Oulana. Dried ripe bananas are superior to figs, for when split Into four slices and thickly covered with powdered sugar and exposed to the sun. they turn to a Jelly-like cdnfection. Dried bananas weigh approximately only one-ninth as much as the bunches, and nave a same percentage of reduction as to cpace. This fact 'alone would save a large amount of the cost la transportation and the cold storage of fresh ,frult. Heavily compressed in a small space, they would make an Ideal ration for soldiers and travelers on long inland tours. - Banana oil, which Is used for apply ing bronzes and aluminum paints, Is a misnomer, for while it has the odor of banana, the fruit does not In any way enter Into 'its manufacture. j the way, "and so," he says, "In these rambles we got ss much experience as If we had been sent out on a design." After this trip he shipped In expedl Hons which, although he falls to credit them as being such, were little more than piratical adventures. Upon one of these trips Dampler found that the ves sel In which he was sailing was too small for his purposes, and without any ceremony he found a Danish ship at Slerre Leone which mounted 86 guns, which was promptly appropriated. This was In the latter part of 1683. For the next eight years the pirates added to their number from time to time, until eventually they had 10 sail and nearly 1000 men. It was then they started on their eventful voyage around Capo Horn, landing first at Guam, and from thence to the Philippines. From here they cruised to China, and Sumatra and it it was not until the 16th of September, 1691. that they again anohored In the Downs. In 1697 Dampler published his famous "Voyage Around the World," which met with so much success that a second vol ume waa later Issued, the "Voyages" running through several editions. Dampler began his second navigation of tha globe on January 14, 1699, and succeeded In sighting; the eoast of Aus tralia n the following July 26. During this voyage' he made the discovery 'that the eastern part of New Guinea did not join with the mainland Of that Island, and that 8t Oeorge's bay was really St George's channel, dividing the .Island Into two. On this voyage his vessel sprung a dangerous leak when within sight of Ascenalonand went down, and the shipwrecked party were compelled to remain there several months before they were relieved by a homeward bound squadron of ships of war and Eaat In dlamen. Dampler, although an admirable ob server and excellent hydrographer, was Ignorant of discipline and quite unused to command. For that reason he had many altercations with those under him, and upon one occasion he was found "guilty of very hard and cruel usage." and "not a fit person to be employed as commander of any of hla majesty's ships." This did not prevent Dampler In preparing to depart on another voy age to the West Indies, from "kissing her majesty's hand, being Introduced by his royal highness, the lord high admiral." It was upon this voyage that Alexan der Selkirk the "Robinson Crusoe" of fiction was marooned at Juan Fernando. This voyage was no damaging to the reputation of Dampler, from his piratical metnous, that the ship owners of the day declined to entrust him with the command of another expedition.
