j HORSE DENTISTS NEEjDEDLj A bright! t-oun: woman who aj tcds the horse -shov.'$ remarked us that, she believed many horses indicated suffering from diseased teeth t)y restlessness and -j other forms of "bad toti&ners.'' pfe gij ing the subject consider atipn one L led to the conviction - that this is not only true, but that there is also room for much improvement in vet erinary dentistry. About the only treatment .pretx-rihed by the ordi nary veterinarian and' sometimes practiced hy the coachman or groom, , is "floating" or filing the teeth which have, become worn down on one side and leave the higher side sharp and ;Somctimes jagged. But we never hear anything about filling the teeth or otherwise treat ing them, especially if they or the gums be ulcerated, beyond pulling them out. As the young woman re ferred to also remarked, "What ex cruciating pain it must be to have a cold steel bit put on a sensitive tooth, !xr possibly oni a nerve ex posed?" "There are. many ..reasons for a horse's misbehavior, adds the Eider jand Driver, aside from his "bad temper." Spider's Web as flegative, : ' : By one on a vacation" and" inter ested iii photography, the good part cf a dy may be spent' in collecting and printing cobwebs. The process is easy. Let him get the farmer's potato--sprayer, put in it some "siz ing jaan," thinned with turpentine and colored from a terra, cotta tube. Then let him take some old window glass o"r a few cleaned photo plates, and go in quest of a clear web with a good; center. lie will find it in an outbuilding or fence in the open. When found, let him spray it, then bring up a dry plate of glass behind it and lift it from its moorings. In about two hours the web will be dry and so hard that the plate can be washed without any injury to the web. : From plates thus secured he may make prints to his heart's con tent.' To make combination pic tures put the plate over any clear negative and print through both of them'. For printing the webs them selves blue print paper may be used to advantage, inasmuch as it sim plified the work. Scientific Arheri- ' Rocky Stand. A j well dressed man, whose gen eral (appearance and hand baggage indicated his recent arrival in this country, stood in the ticket line at the Grand Central station. When he reached the window he asked for one ticket to "Rocky Sland." "Try the next window' he was told, and, gathering up his belong ings, he took his place at the end of another cue. J "One teecket, Rocky Sland," he said when his turn came. "What place ticket to where?" the fclerk asked, to the distress of a longj string of people who had just a minute to catch their train. "Kooky Sland, Eelinois," said the foreigner, and the ticket agent di rected the officer outside to show the man whore he could get a ticket for Rock Island, and, for the third time he became the last man in a long line. "Don't worry," said the officer. "You have three hours' time for Rooky Sland." Xew York Tribune. The Spirit of India. A Hindoo revolutionist who aroused the fanatics of the. Funjab to groat excitement by circulating the fantastic statement that the plague epidemic did not exist and that the 100,00Q deaths weekly at tributed to it were really caused by the poisoning of drinking wells by government emissaries was sentenc ed the other day to two years' rig orous imprisonment. An accom plice, who dropped harmless balls into the wells, alleging that he did fo by order of the government, was condemned to eighteen months' im prisonment. Fire Killed Timber. Government tests of fire killed timber have demonstrated that this wood is good and should be consid ered as thoroughly seasoned timber as far as its use is concerned. Fire killed timber checks badly when left standing for any length of time, ' and this is an obstacle in the way of its use for some purposes. Timber which has been killed by fire should be generally used within one year after it has been killed, but satis factory railroad ties have been made from timber killed fifty years be fore. Private Caruso on Drill. Enrico Caruso, the far famed ten or, when he was a youth of nine teen was drafted into the Italian army. His drill sergeant reported him to Major Mogliati for singing, but the major discovered something unusual in his voice and, after reprimanding the drill sergeant, promptly assigned Private Caruso to spend all the leisure that his mil itary service allowed in 6tudy with the teacher of the regimental band. CONDENSED STORIES. f Whan the Pride ef a Settlement Worker Received a Hard Jolt. Eev. Anna Shaw," president of the American Woman' Suffrage associa tion said huan address in Chicago: ' "An -.excellent jcure for false pride ig a little t college- settlement work. By false pride I mean the belief that the poor regard one as noble and fine because one happens to be rich. Servants and dependents have to encourage this false pride in us, bat a little settlement, work soon undoes the mischief. , : fT know a Philadelphia woman. She is proud : because her gretft- "l SUPPOSE THEY ABE VEST INQUISITIVE.," grandfather, a carpenter, happened to own land that is now worth mil lions. In her haughty way she did some settlement work during Lent. "There was an old woman whom she visited every few days. She carried the old woman fellies, tea, olives and such like luxuries. And she was secretly pleased with the attention she attracted as she passed up and down the narrow, squalid street. '"Your neighbors stare at me a good deal she said complacently one morning. " Til be bound for that said the old woman. " 'I suppose they are very inquisi tive, eh?' "'They certainly are, the busy bodies the old woman grumbled.

" Oh said the old woman, 1 just say y'er me dressmaker, and let it go at that " The Modern Builder. Dr. H. W. Wiley, the chemist and food oxpert of the department of agriculture, paused in an address in Washington to tell an appropriate story. "Not in food alone," he said, "has an ugly modern spirit manifested, it self. Take, for instance, the build ing trade. "A builder the other day was showing a prospective buyer over a row of new houses. " 'Talk about walls the man said, rapping a parlor wall proudly with his knuckles. 'John to his clerk, 'just go in next door, and we'll show this here gentleman what these walls is like.' "John ran into the next house. The builder shouted through the wall to him: " 'John, can ye hear me? " TTes, sir, I can hear ye John replied. "The builder, looking disappoint ed, paused. Then: " 'John, can ye see me? he shout ed. "No, sir sang out John. Ua, sir, I can't see ye.' "The builder turned to the pros pective buyer: . - "There's walls fur ye he said." Boston Globe. Jakes JitMva.ad Bladder Bight Additional Local. The Oregon Trust and Savings Bank of Portland closed its doors to the public, Thursday morning. According to Port land papers the embarrassment was due to inability oi the bank to set readv money to tide over a brief crisis. It is also statea that depositors will probably get all or nearly all their deposits, in the coarse ot time. All of the members of the bank are said to be honest, honorable men and the trouble is due wholly to poor judgment. Many Corvallis people bad small amounts in the bank and one Corvallis party, it is reported, lost $3003. Many of the local depositors were cnil dren.

' Mr. Carter will ship two caiioads ot the animals from Oregon and an other carload from Red Bluff, California, and even then he told Mr. Geer that it was quite, cer tain! that his company : would want 100 moie bovines this fall, to supply the demand, and that be would very likely return to Benton in search of more of the same stock. The animals are needed to build up the depleted herdsof the island that have retrograded because of lack of new and better grades of stock being introduced in recent years. Of the three Benton county bovines how on their way to Honolulu, the Hereford , is VKamiakiu," who was judged junior champion of the North west at the Oregon State fair in 1964, when only 14 months old. and received second place in the CorVa'lis stock show. . . .

They are not enjoying Oregon weather back in Brimfield, Illi nois, where Mr. and Mrs. J. ti. Moore, formerly of this city, have pitched their tent. Mr Moore : e d ;the Gazette a copy of the "Brimdd News" which has the following account cf a hail storm that has just swept that section: 'There is no change in the re ports coming in concerning the great damage by the hail storm !a.t Tucday. Many fields of corn are a complete loss and the damage figures up to hundreds of tbo .saads of dollars in territory adj. cent Brimfield. The house holders are still busy putting in window glass and repairing roofs and thanking fortune that all c. ;pel personal injury. Old residents sav tbet in all their lives they never saw such devastation caused by hail. Some of the hail stones were reported twelve and a half inches in cir cumference. Tom Day measur ed one ten and a half incurs around. Thad Fuchs found one ten inches around. Peter Swimm found one nine inches m circum ference. A chunk of ice in the shape a stone is said to have n- " ured 9 inches in length.

Od April 29th last the Oregonian pub-, lished a special industrial edition devot ed exclusively . to the exploitation of Oregon, it probobly contained more special and miscellaneous informs tiou about Oregon than any one publication that has ever been issued. It is peculiar ly useful and valuable to thehome eeetter, because it gives the latest and most reliable information about bo many different subjects that the hemeseeker is naturally interested in. Almost every department of industry ia specialized, and both descriptive and statistical in formation of a highly valuable character is given extensively and in entertaining form. Residents of Oregon who know its ad vantages as compared with the congest ed and depleted East, and who still have friends back there whom they would like to see here enjoying the good things ot this favored state, can aid in a splendid work now without cost and very little effort. If you think your friend' would be interested in knowing more about. Oregon and might eventually become a valuable citizen, send his name and ad dress to the general passenger agent of the Oregon Eailway & Navigation Com pany Southern Pacific at Portland, and a. copy of this special edition, with a com plete summary of the several subjects treated carefully indexed, will be mailed to him promptly. In this manner you will be the means not ouly of doing your friend a good turn, but helping to stimu. late the growth and prosperity of Ore gon. Don't forget that commencing Septem-. bar 1st and continuing daily for two months, tickets will be on sale at almost, every railroad station in the East to all points in Oregon and the Northwest at what has come to be popularly known as. "colonist rates." These rates are the cheapest general long distance rates ever established, and enable one to reach Oregon honi anv part of the United States at but a trifle more than one cent a mile. They are the greatest incentive to colonization and progressive home building of any known agency, and if the restless, dissatisfied resident of the East is made to know before-band the advant ages he can enjoy here, the problem ia solved, and the star ef empire will con tinue to move steadily westward. Now ia the time to spread the goBpel ot Oregon, so that it may be beard and heeded by the time the 'rates go into, effect.
