It is said that the cost or living In Paris 200 years ago was much, much J higher than It is In America today. jOf course that ought to cheer us all up considerably but will It MUCH BETTER THAN GOLD MINES All power to Salem! Oregon's capital city, after tie cades of sustenance by state institutions and the biennial excitation of tbe legislature, is launching strongly into commercial organization for the promotion of industry. It is such united effort that builds cities. The fact that Salem is the center of an agricultural district of inexhaustible vitality represents to it more wealth and hope for the fu ture than to be the home of state, institutions, or even the capital of Oregon.--Portland Journal, September 15. better still is it to live "Down Among Men." It is fine to listen to a masterpiece performed by a genius, but better still is it to go out and hear the birds sing and the rivers laugh. Pictures, too, are well worth while, but nothing ever exhibited in a salon is as inspiring to an awakened mind aa the sight of a real landscape at dawn, or nnder the starlight. The artist sometimes is capable of suggesting the ideal in his painting. but God Almighty Impresses the very image of Himself upon the mountain side and writes his thoughts In floral in tbe meadows and the glens.

Let the bards have a mandatory over this tit-bit of the Adriatic and let it be ruled by sonnet and rondeau rather than blunt ordinance. This should certainly make for the peace of the world.'

Astronomy, even In an elemental form, should be among the first sub jects chosen by those who educate the young. It would give them an increasing reverence for the giant forces behind the universe. It would show them "The work of Thy hands which Thou hast ordained." The Bishop of Birmingham said at a Los Angeles luncheon: "Church going becomes rarer and rarer among the people sas the years pass. In Bir mingham one Sunday morning a club man, seated at a club window, looked up from his Sunday paper and said: 'By George, there's Thompson and his wife on their way to, church! I wonder what's up?' irs either. said a second club man. 'that Thompson has had another attack of heart trou ble, or else Mrs. Thompson has got a new dress. " LITERATURE AXD LIFE.
