That there were no chimneys in the
tenth, twelfth and thirteenth centuries
seems to be proved by the socalled
Ignltcglum or pyrlteglum, the curfew
bell of the English and couvre feu of
the French, says a London Exchange.
In the Middle Ages, as they are
termed, people made fires In their
homes In a hole or pit in the center
of the floor under an opening formed
In the roof, and when the fire was
burnt out or the family went to bed
at night the hole was L'hut by a cover
of wood. In those periods, says a
writer In on English exchange a law
wat almost everywhere established
thnt the fire should be extinguished
at a certain time In the evening; that
the cover should be put over the fire
place, and that all the family should
retire to rest, or at least be at home.
The time when this ought to be
done wa signified by the ringing of
a bell. William the Conqueror Intro
duced this law Into England In the
year 1068 and fixed Ihe Ignitegium
at 7 in the evening In order to pre
vent nocturnal assemblies. The old
est certain account of chlmrevs oe
curs In the year 1347, for an Inscrip
tion which Is still existing or did exist
at Venice, relates that at the above
period a great many chimneys (mol-
tl camlnl) were thrown down by ;n
earthquake. This . circumstance Is
confirmed by John Vlllanl the his
torian, who died In Florence In 134S.
PERSONAL

Only s Woman's Way.
Night and day, without cessation,
Mrs. Bessie Olsen, confined In the
padded cell at the county Jail, has

Olsen eats a little, but the greater

High Handed Methods of Selling
School Lands Impoverishes Ore
gon. The following timely and redhot
roast on the method of giving away
Oregon school lands to grafters and
speculators Is from the Grant County
News:
The methods of sale by which
the state of Idaho realized from 820
to $40 per acre on Its school lands Is
In sharp and painful contrast to Ore
gon's shameless squandering of the
nation's gift the birthright of her
children, says the News. And the
greatest shame for Oregon Is that
the shame still persists. Time and
obloquy fall to end the abuse.
Had the rich timber section which
sold for $25,800 In Idaho lain Just
across the Snake river It would have
brought the measly sum of $1600.
Sixteen hundred dollars for Oregon
girls and boys, or $25,000 for Idaho
children. Truly, we eat sour grapes
and our children's teeth are set on
edge for the third and fourth gen
eration. When Idaho distributes dol
lars per capita for the education of
coming generations, Oregon will be
apportioning cents.
This will be a heavy handicap for
the young citizens of Oregon to carry.
It is a heavy price for the state to
pay for present material wealth. It
Is on a par with the political economy
of the southern savages who ate the
seed corn and work oxen supplied for
production by philanthropists.
Greedy land barons may be neces
sary to the development of this state.
The policy has prevailed, however, for
40 years, and the state, the peer of
any In the northwest, 25 years ahead
In years, Is 25 years behind In progress.
Timber land bought last summer
from the state at $2.50 per acre Is
now selling, It Is reported, at $6.25.
This 1 a clear gain of $2400 per sec
tion. The land Is In this county of
Grant, near Austin.

Thursday Afternoon Club.
The .regular meeting of the Thurs

afternoon at the homo of Mrs. Llna

American Editor Warmly Greeted
Everywhere in the Philippines.
Little has been told In the press
dispatches of the magnificent recep
tion and triumphal progress of Mr.
Bryan In the Philippine Islands. The
universal enthusiasm was astonishing
even to Its object. According to El
Renaclmlento, Mr. Bryan asked as he
was driven through Paranyake, Las
Plnns and Bakoor, "Why do all the
people salute us? Do they treat all
Americans this way?"
"These salutations are for you," an
swered a prominent Filipino, "because
they have been looking for your com
ing. These people do not know you,
but they know that you are here, and
your name is loved."
In fact, few names can be mention
ed, among the Filipinos, that will ex
cite more sympathy. Bryan did not
need to come to be popular.
The prlncibal Impression produced
by his presence, even among his chief
political adversaries, Is one of con
summate amiability and discretion.
Bryan has not made any public dec
laration. He has not given the parti
sans pretext to accuse him of being
an agitator, or unpatriotic in view of
the enterprise that America, as a na
tion. Is undertaking In these Islands.
His coming has made a most grateful
Impression.
Without any ostentatious official
character, he receives consideration
from the officers of the government,
the respect of the Americans and the
homage of the Filipinos; homage
spontaneous, sincere, cordial. Bryan,
who has penetrating insight, will have
observed this. If not, the onlookers
observe It See the difference between
the receptions according to order and
this purely voluntary one. How many
such have been given to Americans in
the Philippines?
COUNTERFEIT PLENTIFUL.
Bogus Silver Dollars Being Circulated
In Walla Walla.
Counterfeit silver dollars of the
dat'2 of 1S96, are being found In largo
numbers about the city, says the
Walla Walla Union.
The coins are a very close Imita
tion of the genuine, with the excep
tion of being light weight
The coin has evidently been cast at
a later date than that stamped upon
the face, and many have the appear
ance of being one which has been in
circulation a long time. The records
of old time counterfeiters show that
the coins when first made, are either
carried a long time In the pocket, or
passed through a revolving barrel,
which wears them down so they look
like old coins.
One other feature that shows the
coin to be bad, though not easily de
tected. Is the depth of the milling on
the edge. This was never made of
the usual depth because of Us not
being so easy to wear off in the pro
cess of preparing the coin for the
market.
How the coins came to be in this
city no one knows, yet they are here
and persons receiving much money
will do well to Inspect all money of
the date of 1896.
Very cloudy weather In Lane coun
ty during the recent cold weather,
mitigated the Influence of the severe
cold, and It is believed that very lit
tle damage was done to the fruit
COLD WEATHER HELPS.
Freeze Doex Not Hurt Fruit and Kills
the Pests.
The weather clerk gives promise
that the present cold snap will be
broken up today. He says there Is
going to be "fair weather, slightly
warmer," says the Salem tSatesman.
Everybody would be glad to see
the change. Oregonlans like a good
spring rain much better than dry
cold or snow. Yesterday was bright
and sunshiny, but a biting cold wind
from the northeast made loafing on
the north side of the building dread
fully unpleasant. It Is Just the kind
of weather which breeds pneumonia
and the sooner It changes to regular
Willamette valley weather the better.
So far as can be ascertained the
cold spell has done no damage to any
of the crops In the surrounding
country, with the exception of the
very earliest peaches, the few apri
cots and the tenderest roses and
plants. There has been some suffer
ing among angora goats that were
sheared during the warm weather of
last week and some loss of early
lambs, but altogether the Injury
wrought by the unusual weather In
these parts Is very slight.
On the other hand there Is well
grounded hope that considerable
good may come as a result of the
freeze. It Is said that the aphis
which was so plentiful on grain, on
roses nnd on several varieties of young
trees, also the scale, which has been
very general, was beginning to show
life as the result of last week and
that the frosts of the past few nights
have destroyed them.
