AGAIXST FIRE CRACKERS.
When the proposal was made at
the Commercial club luncheon that
Bend celebrate the Fourth ot July
this year In good, old fashioned
Btyle, someone suggested that one ot
the old fashioned features be "fire
crackers and everything." The sug
gestion was not discussed and we do
not know it it meets with the favor
of the later appointed committee,
but if there is any plan under con
sideration for the removal ot the
city ban on the use ot Are crackers
In the coming celebration we ven
ture to protest, and to urge that
public sentiment make itself known
in opposition to the plan.
The fire cracker, as a means of
celebrating the Fourth of July, Is a
relic of the past. City after city, all
over the country has forbidden its
use, and for Bend to return to this
Chinese devil driving plan would be
a great pity.
Statistics gathered for many years
show that the use of fire crackers
on the Fourth has been responsible
for hundreds ot fires and for scores
of serious accidents, especially to
children. Many a child has lost an
eye or a finger or a hand when han
dling explosive crackers on the
. Fourth. Many a parent has seen the
day come with fear, has lived
through It with agony and has seen
It pass with rejoicing when his child
has come through unscathed.
There are plenty of good, whole
some ways of celebrating the Fourth
of July without putting life or prop
erty in jeopardy. Old fashioned ways
may be good In some) respects, but
when It comes to the use of fire
crackers on that day the new fash
ioned prohibition is the best.

later all martial heroes meet their

PRECURSOR OF THE PIANO
Harpsichord, In Arrangement of Key
board and Strings, Resembled tho
Instrument In Use Today.
The harpsichord was n stringed mu
sical Instrument In use In iho luili.
17th n ml 18lli centuries, which In lis
form nnd In tho nrrangtimiit t the
keyboard and strings resembled a pi
ano, but In which the tone wua pro
duced by the plucking or snapping of
the strings by lenther or quill points,
which were set in Jacks connected by
levers with the keys. In form It usu
ally resembled a modern grand piano
forte, though both square timl upright
varieties were also made. The length
of tho keyboard was tour to six and
a hulf octaves. The number of sep
arate strings to a key varied from
one to four, sometimes including one
tuiuHl an octave above, the others; the
latter variety was called a double
harpsichord. The tone was weuk and
tinkling, and jtrndatlon of force was
impossible. Two keyboards were
sometimes combined, one for soft
effects; the other for loud. Numerous
devices, usuully connected with the
jacks, were introduced at "different
times to secure variety In force, and
especially In qunllty. These mechan
isms, which often aimed to simulate
the tone qualities of various orches
tral instruments, were usually con
trolled by stopknobs near the key
board. The harpsichord, though s
sentlally different from the pianoforte,
was Its Immediate predecessor. Be
fore 1S00 it was regularly used In all
dramatic music, especially In accom
panying recitatives and In orchestral
music. The conductor usually direct

WORK OF MONKS IN EXILE
Congregation of Armenian Christians
Has Diffused Knowledge of Coun
try's Language and Literature.
The Mecbltarlst monks are a small
congregation of Armenian Christlaus
who were exiled from their native land
at the beginning of the eighteenth cen
tury. The church In Armenia had long
been divided Into bitterly hostile camps
over the question of the nature of
Christ, and when the Mechltarlsts en
tered Into communion with the Church
of Rome In 1712 the Armenian patri
arch succeeded In driving them' from
the country. . They took up their resi
dence In the Morea, but they had again
to flee before the advance of the con
quering Turk, and In 1715 they estab
lished themselves In Venice, on the
Island of San Lazznro. Here they set
up a printing press and gathered to
gether a large and valuable library of
oriental works. Their name Is de
rived from Mechtnr da Itro, who
founded a religious society nt Constan
tinople about the year 1700, and who
aimed at uplifting the Intellectual and
spiritual conditions of his countrymen,
nnd nt diffusing a knowledge of the
old Armenian language and literature.
The colony of exiles during their so
journ in Venice has printed most of
the classic writings In Armenian lit
erature anil translated the works of
Eusehius, I'hilo nnd other writers.
Geography Sixty Years Old.
The rapid development of geography
as a college study, since Its first ap
pearance in a university curriculum,
about half a century ago. Is discussed
by I'rof. R. II. Wulibeck of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, in a recent ar
ticle on "Geography In American uml
European Universities," published In
the Journnl of Geography, lie points
out the following Interesting fuels:
In W0 Harvard and Princeton
were the only American universities
offering courses In geography.
. Cornell and University of Wiscon
sin introduced the subject In 1S!8,
and Yale followed in 1872. In 1SW0
only 12 American universities taught
the subject, but by 1010 thirty-one
universities were offering a variety
of 142 courses.

Discard London Town Houses.
For hundreds of years members of
England's wealthy class have main
tained their splendid town houses In
London. But today, with the perfect
ing of the automobile and the In
creased convenience ot apartment and
hotel, there Is a growing tendency to
break with tradition and maintain only
tho country home. This fashionable
Imck-to-the-laiul movement Is expected
to have royal sanction, too, ns the king
and queen will use beautiful old Wind
sor castle, 25 miles from London, this

RECOGNIZE GOSPEL OF LABOR
Law of Nature Demands Certain Quan
. tity of Work From All Kinds
of People.
"The law of nature Is that a certain
quantity of- work Is necessary to pro
duce a certain quantity of gnod. of any
kind whatever. If you want knowl
edge, you must toll for It ; ami If pleas
ure, you must toll for It." These wortls
of John Kuskln are especially appro
priate now, Arthur Hunt Chute writes
In Leslie's.
This admonition Is needed not mere
ly by the manual laborers, but also by
all classes, nnd especially by the
"poodle fakers" of so-called high so
ciety. An afternoon trip to the most
expensive hotels discloses the fact that
the war has not completely purged us
from the Idle rich. One may encoun
ter there a new species, formerly
known as a "lounge lizard," now called
a "sofa cootie." A soldier pointed me
out one f)f these specimens, exclaim
ing: "Think of our brave who have
fallen, and a thing like that survives!"
We won this wur why? Because
we heeded the law of sweat. In the
cruclul hour our society spewed out
of Its mouth the Idle rich and the Idle
xmr. We tolerated only one clnss, the
workers. Vincent Astor nnd Klngdon
Gould had to stop tip and do their duty
just the same ns the Frlcnslnnl twins
from "Little Italy." Now that the wnr
Is won, this law of sweat should re
main Imperative for all classes. Ev
ery man anil every woman owes a duty
f work to his age, ami society of the
future should he so organized ns to In;
sist that that debt Is paid.
Referring to the law of sweat, we
must realize that there'nre two ways
In which a man may fulfill his obli
gations, either by brain sweat or by
brawn sweat. Itlgbtly speaking, the
mental workers belong Just ns truly
among the laboring classes as the man
ual workers. In the truest sense both
are producers.
Margaret, aged live, had been very
rude to a little guest, nnd after the
chilli hnd gone borne Margaret's moth
er told her ycry feelingly how grieved
she was at her rudeness.
"I've tried so hard to make you a
good child, Margaret ; to tench you to
be polite and kind to others, am! yet.
In spite of my efforts, you are so rude -I
ami so naughty."
Murgnret, deeply moved, looked sad
