IN the manner in which the unem

handled' in Portland, there is
suggestion for the future.
Why not regularly, hereafter, do
tome of the public work. In winter
instead of doing It all In summer?
Labor has to live the year through.
Its summer wages are not sufficient
ftO tide it over the winter. A part-
'.year system of public work is itself
a powerful agency for swelling the
ranks of the winter's unemployed.
It is not an Intelligent plan.
The superintendent of the free em
ployment bureau recommends the
-saving of certain public work for
( dull months. No authority Is so com

"The religion of today haa grown and
expanded until it finds the walls Of the
home In which It was born too narrow
and f confining for its spirit. And it
bursts out of doors into the open fields
of intellectual research, moral welfare
and social service, while the church
stays indoors, absorbed in the reek of
her incense, the bustle of her rites and '
the preaching of her orthodoxies.
'There are multitudes of men and wo-
?ien today, longing and seeking after -a ,

SEVEN FAMOUS DWARFS

Dwarfs played a .conspicuous part in
history, three anJ'four centuries ago.
They were used as 'court favorites for

Wortley Montagn was In Germany, In
the eighteenth century, she found that
a dwarf was a necessary appendage to
every noble family. . At that time Eng
lish ladles kept monkeys,. The Imperial
dwarfs at the Viennese court were de
scribed by Lady Mary as being"as ugly
as devils" and "bedaubed . with dia

accorded .for Borulwaskl was a' great
favorite " at the court of , Poland and
there was considerable murmuring when
It, was found that he would ,not return
to his native country. , . ,
Borulwaskl at his tallest was a yard
and, three inches long, and had a sister
whose head Just reached the shoulder
of her big brother, Borulwaskl was not
only a handsome and -courtly man,' but
a scholar of repute. He lived in 'five
reigns and was laid to rest in Dunham
