Vacation has succeeded the devil dancing medicine man In Cambodia, says an exchange. The plague has proved mightier than the Buddhistic belief in fate and custom for turning the Khmer mind to modern ways and means. We read that King SIsswath, in the fervor of his conversion, offer ed both legs and arms to the sur geon's quill and was persuaded with difficulty that Inoculation . in one place was sufficient. The account of this matter sug gests a comic opera theme. Yet in the plague is no spirit of burlesque; and Cambodia was rewarded once as a seat of learning, civilization and wealth. It had an architecture which eventually furnished ruins that to day's archaeologists study with re spect. Phutamma Survivong was a king of the fifth century, and at about that time the Chinese had a saying. "Rich as Chinla," based on the prosperity of Cambodia. The glory passed long ago from this ancient Asiatic monarchy. With it were lost territory and prescience. The present king, when he wishes to indulge In particular acts of state, must say "If you please" to the French. However, Sisawath was per mitted to accept vaccination of his own accord and after his son and one of his son's wives had stubbornly re sisted the quill and died. Vaccination !s therefore now the rage In the Cambodian court. It has acquired the dignity of a royal func tion. The king Is sore, the ministers are sore and the household of the palace Is sore. But the plague is stared. Pathologic advance has waited upon the degenerate days of a dynasty. their civilizations upon desert plat eaus. The history of the Jews Is a history of a desert folk. It was with in the encircling walls of the desert that they evolved their national and their religious consciousness. Out of the desert sprang all these things as the water gushed from the rock at the blow of Moses. The desert Is most fertile because It is a savings hank without any with drawals. Plants need potash, mag nesia, lime and other foodstuffs, Ju.-rt as we need animals and plants. Now In the humid lands, such as In our eastern states, the rains have fallen for tens of thousands of c enturlos, and they have washed out the food of the plants. But in the arid lands the rains have fallen sparingly or not at all Some of the desert lands of our west contain three times as much potash, six times as much magnesia, 14 times as much lime, as the humid lands of the east. The desert is nn Inexhaustible store house "f food for the plants of thousands of years to come, a storehouse to be drawn up on as soon as the land is Irrigated. JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE. The New York Herald last week again showed remarkable enterprise In sending news from home to the American battleship fleet In the Aus tralian seas while steaming south from Sydney on the way to Mel bourne, says the Fourth Estate. The warships when more than half way around the world and about 40 de grees south of the equator received a budget of news sent by the Herald on board Rear Admiral Sperry's flag ship and thence distributed by wire less throughout the fleet. The news was flashed across the i continent by land wires, traversing the South Pacific by cable from Is land to Island until Sydney, New South Wales, was reached, nnd thence by wireless to the ships more thun a hundred miles at sea. Only those who have been far away from home, thousands of miles from their dear ones, plowing the ocean and dally getting further from the land of their birth, can appreciate the feelings with which our sailors received the Herald's news, which must have made them feel that after all they were not so far away from "God's country."

This winter the state of Oregon will be 50 years old and It has been suggested by the Oregon Daily Jour nal that some kind of a semi-centennial celebration be held. Oregon was admitted to the union as a state on February 14. 1S59, says the Journal, hence on that day next yf-ar, 1909, will occur the fiftieth an niversary or semi-centennial of the birth of Oregon as one of the states of the grrat American union. The population of Or.gon the next year, IftCO. was 52.485, having increased from 12 251 in 1S50. These num bers include only whie population. lien d 'I in ii men had about 50,100 white people. Its growth has been slow, but Is has grown some, enough to celebrate. Most if not all states that have pa?ed the semi-centennial mark have celebrated the event, studied and re counted their development, rejoiced In their progress and portrayed the vlrtori"s of the future. Why should not Oregon follow this example? The time is short, only five months, but it is sufficient to prepare gome sort of a celebration for the fiftieth an-niv'-isary of this splendid state. The Journal has seen no mention mad., of this matter yet. and so brings forward the suggestion. The anniversary will come at a time of year when nothing else In particular Is doing, and when people of all sorts can take a little time for this affair, Would It not be well for the com. merrlal organizations and develop-) 111' 1 1 l i n . ' H. WHO ...U.,.., Mp and make the necessary Initial movements? The department of agriculture In the course of comment on the new wheat which Is said to yield 100 to 200 bushels to the acre, reminds the farmers of government work which promises better than this doubtful '.;re. Results at the University of Min nesota experiment station show that there may be a very large gain real- ized by methods of cultivation learn-j ed by experiment. In Minnesota j where the farmers have followed the I government work, the yield last year netted some $2,000,000 more than j normal, the gain being due to greater j production under the new Ideas. The agricultural department is do-j ing a most beneficial work. It Is not! political or legal, but purely econom ic In its purpose and activities. In the reports sent out the farmer can be sure of getting perfectly correct information and hints for improving his methods which probably cannot lie surpassed for practical value by any university In the world. The de partment Is In fact a great agricul tural university and It Is proving Its worth every day In the year. When you start out to show a man the error of his way you would better begin by taking a course In boxing. Some people always seem Just nat urally suspicious, but that may be partly your fault.

No law of life save that which seems most fair And true and Just, and helpful to Its kin And kind; and holds that act alone as sin - That lays upon another soul Its share Of human pain, of sorrow, or of care. Or plants a doubt where faith has ever been In every other heart It meets, the way Has found to make Its own condition blessed To love Cod Is to strive through! life's short day To comfort grief, to give the weary rest, To hope and love that, surely. Is to pray. Alice rtlniiey. THE MAN WHO WIN'S. The fellow who can whistle when tne world is going wrong Is the fellow who will make the most of life; No matter what may happen you will find him brave and strong He's the fellow who will conquer In the strife. The fellow Wno can whistle when the whole world seems to frown Is the kind of man to stand the bat tle's brunt; He's got the proper mettlo and you can not keep him down. For he's the sort that's needed at the front. The fellow who can whistle Is the fel low who can work, With a note of cheer to vanquish . plodding care. His soul Is filled with music and no evil shadows lurk. In his active brain to foster grim despair. The easiest way not to settle a dis pute' Is to go to law about It.

The desert Is the most fertile area In the 1'nited States, says Walter E. Wr-izr-l In Success Magazine.
