VM. McMURHAY General Pawtenger Agent PORTLAVD, OREGON. The following resume of the new school laws has been prepared oy Frank K. Welles, county school su perintendent: Several important changes have been made In the laws governing trio certification of teachers. Hereafter all certificates will be state papers, and will entitle the holders to teach In any county in Oregon, after hav ing registered their certificates In the county where they intend to teach. The new laws do not invalidate any certificates that have already been issued. Persons who have partially completed their examinations for state certificates or life diplomas, may com plete their examinations under the old laws. The next regular teachers' exami nation will be held on June 21, 22, 23 and 24. There will be no exami nation in August, hence all persons whose certificates expire in August, or who wish to take teachers' exami nations in order to teach next year, should write at the June examlna- ton. The new law does away with the issuing of any more county cer tificates, except that county superin tendents will have authority to issue county certificates on state grades un til May 20. Under the present law applicants must complete the subjects for a state certificate within three succes sive examinations. The new law pro vides that such persons may com plete their examinations under the laws now in force. All persons, therefore, who are writing for state certificates should appear at the June examination. Applicants for a one-year state cer tificate must make a general aver age of not less than 75 per cent and shall not fall below 60 per cent In any one of the following subjects: Writing, orthography, arithmetic, physiology, grammar, civil govern ment, school law, psychology, Ameri can literature, algebra, physical ge ography and composition. Twelve months' teaching experience is re quired for this paper. Applicants for a Hfe state certifi cate must make a general average of not less than 85 per cent and snail not fall below 70 per cent in any one of the following subjects: Arith metic, writing, orthography, reading, physiology, school law, civil govern ment, grammar, geography, theory and practice of teaching, U. S. his tory.lpsychology, American literature, English literature, algebra, physical geography, plane geometry, botany, physics, bookkeeping, composition, general history, geology and history of education. Thirty months' teach ing experience is required for this paper. Applicants for primary five-year state certificate must make a gener al average of not less than 85 per cent and shall not fall below 70 per cent In any one of the following sub jects: Methods in reading, methods in arithmetic, methods in language, methods in geography, theory and practice of teaching, writing, orthog raphy, physiology, physchology, and in addition thereto shall write a the sis on an educational subject selected froma list prepared by the superin tendent of public instruction. Twelve months' teaching experience is re quired for this paper which gives the applicant authority to teach only In the first, second and third grades. No examination in English classics will be required iin the June exami nation on account of the lack of time for announcements and preparation. All examinations will be based upon the text-books adopted by the state text-book commission. The Rioebird Uses His Bulky Enemy at an Aeroplane. People generally associate size and brute strength with victory, especially anion; the lower anltunls. Many times,' however, this Is far from being the case, especially iu the bird kingdom. Among the rice tints of the Carolluas there abound at some seasons of the year tiny rlceblrds, birds so small that It takes two dozen for a good meal, though bones and nil are eaten. The great buzzard Is found circling over the flats nt nil seasons. He dreads the time for the rioebird to come, for be Is then nearly pestered to death. It Is a common sight to see one of these little birds fly up to a buzzard and, after dodging this way and that round the awkward bulk, finally alight well forward between the buzzurd's wings on the back. Here the tiny passengei grabs n few feathers In his beak nntl holds on for grim life. After enJo . a ride for ns long as he desires the little fellow hops off and Is gone before Mr. Buzzard Is well aware of it The peculiar part of the whole thing fs that apparently the only purpose the rioebird hns In getting on the back of the buzzard Is to take n free ride. It puzzles every one who chances to see the little drama to find nny other rea son, yet the fact remains that It is n frequent occurrence, and the Uttle birds seem to enjoy it Immensely. New York Tribune. INDIAN DEATH CUSTOMS. Graves of the Hop! and the Hogana of the Navajo. The Hopl Indian believes that the souls of all deceased adults go to the Grand canyon. When a man dies a grave Is dug. The nearest relative of the deceased carries the body to the grave, places It in a sitting posture facing the Grand canyon, erects a long (pole between the legs, locks the dead man's fingers around It and fills the grave. To the top or tne poie, pro truding above the ground, he ties one end of a string and leads the other end In the direction of the Grand can yon. At the end of four days It to believed the soul leaves the body, climbs the pole and with the string to guide it goes to its eternal home in the canyon. The Navajos, on the contrary, are very superstitious about handling dead bodies. They believe that the evil spirit that kills the person hovers around the hogan, ns they call their lodge, awaiting other victims, and a hogan In which a death occurs Is never occupied again. Navajo hogans are always built with the entrance facing the east When a death occurs in one of them an opening is Invariably made In the north side. Therefore when one sees a hogan with the north side knocked out he may be certain some one has died In it Dillon Wallace in Outing. Antiquity of the Dog. It la Impossible to say ,-when dogs were first domesticated, but some of the earliest traces are found on Egyp tian monuments,, with figures of dogs, somewhat of the greyhound type, which date back to at least 3500 B. C. Even In those remote days the dog was highly esteemed. Coming down little later, we read that Ulysses 3.000 years ago was recognized by his dog Argus after his swineherd bad failed to do so. Plutarch speaks of Alclbades, who cut off the tall of his dog, and Myron, the sculptor, immortalized the animal by chiseling his Image In marble. The Romans valued their dogs and kept them from the chase and also as pets. Alexander the Great owned a veteran fit to tackle a lion. A Fi!roe Night Alarm. Is the hoarse, startling cought of a child, suddenly attacked by croup. Often it aroused Lewis Chamblln of Manchester, O., (R. R. No. 2) for their four children were greatly sub ject to croup. "Sometimes in severe attacks," he wrote "we were afraid they would die, but since we proved what a certain remedy Dr. King's New Discovery is, we have no fear. We rely on It for croup and for coughs, colds or any throat or lung trouble." So do thousands of others. So may you.
