The Wasco News announces, that

the kind of a man that would oppose
the wishes of his constituents. If
they do not favor a saloon in the town
he will certainly oppose it.

Queer Arrangements Seen In Othei farts
of the World.
Until quite recently the postal system
in Persia was very loosely conducted.
It was under the superintendence of a
minister of posts, who, however, does
not work the system himself. Each
road is farmed to some merchant or
wealthy person, who pays a certain sum
to the minister for the privilege, and
makes as much money out of the busi
ness as he can.
On the south coastof Patagonia is the
most remarkable postal service In the
world. Close to the post is a large sign
post with the inscription: 'Tost Office."
Attached by chains to the foot of the
sgn post is a strong chest, which has
served as a post oJ2ce, master, clerk, all
in one, for many years. The chips pass
ing1 through the Magellan straits send
a boat to the shore to fetch any letters
that may be addressed to their places of
all, and at the came time to leave any
letters they may wish to have taken in
other directions.
In a small group of islands off the
south coast of Iceland the islanders have
a bottle post, which depends mainly on
tne wind. H hen the wind blows from
the. south they put their letters into a
well-corked bottle. To insure delivery,
a plug of tobacco or a cigar is put in
side, and people on the mainland are
usually on the lookout for and readv to
deliver the letters so dispatched, in re
turn for the inclosed remuneration.

that it was no good any more.
"Do you know" said the lodge
woman, "there was a good attendance
last night, hut the meeting wasn't
worth a cent. There was something
lacking. There wasn't a man present.
Not one of those detestable creatures
put in an appearance during the en
tire evening, and wo women didn't
have a suiil to grumble nt. So thrre
wasn't a bit of fun. Of course we
women can run tho lodge all right
without the hateful men, and they
needn't come to lodge unless they
want to, but its handy to have them
around. A lodge without a man is
Hire the garden of Fdon without an
Adam. There is nohody to blame
when anything goes wrong. I'll not
go to lodge any more unless the
Adams turn out." And with the re
quest that the reporter would not say
anything about it, she gathered up her
skirts and tripped lightly over the
muddy crosswalk.

'Barrel kites" are the novel invention
of Miss Nellie Eo.ss, of Fruit Vale, Cai.,
says the Xeiv York World. Three
months ago she demonstrated their
practicability, and since then has
proved, as she claims, that they fly
higher than any other kites ever made
cn tne acmc coast. A recent visitor
to what Miss Rose calls her "lutery"
saw simply a very clean and neatly-
whitewashed back yard. Against some
deserted henroosts leaned some queer
cloth and bamboo objects that looked
like flattened balloons with the ends
knocked out. The largest were five feet
high by four feet broad, and they were
of all colors. The string used in flying
them is about two miles long-.
I he young kite-flyer, who holds that
every woman should have a hobby and
who thoroughly enjoys hers, makes all
her own kites. Then she flies nine or
ten at once, to the great edification of
the surrounding neighborhood and to
the delight of the small boys, who are
always willing- to help haul them in.
Each kite is named, and "McKinley"
and "Grover" compete with those bear
ing less famous names to see which can
climb the highest. Barrel-kite flying
is said to be as pretty as it is success
ful, and Californias champion kite-
flyer wears her distinction very gTace-
zuiiy.
TAKIHQ THE TEMPERATURE.
IfBcMfflei It Happens That th Ther
mometer la Taken.
At the Aquarium the temperature of
the water in the tanks and pools is
taken daily by means of a thermometer
especially designed for such uses, which
is lowered into the tank by a cord. If
there is a loose end that makes a tas
sel where the cord is tied on to the
thermometer, some fish may nip at
that, mistaking it for something that
can be eaten. Sometimes when the
thermometer is lowered into the water
all the fish in the tank sweep around
and make for it and swim up very
close to it, their noses all pointing at
it. But they do not come to see how
the mercury stands. They had seen
the glint of the metal case in the wa
ter, and all had made a dart for it, ex
pecting to find something to eat. In
the shallow and comparatively light
waters of the Aquarium tanks they
could see when they got near that it
was not what they expected, or they
sheered oil, perhaps, because it was
too big to swallow.
In deep sea work, in hydrographic
surveying and in deep sea fishing for'
specimens, it sometimes happens that
a big fish will swallow the lead with
which soundings are being taken; and
sometimes a big fish will swallow the
thermometer that has been lowered
to the bottom to take the temperature.
Such occurrences are not common, but
the.y are not sufficiently unusual to be
counted as remarkable. And in such
a case the lead or thermometer is not
likely to be lost. Usually it is attached
to a wire, strong- enough to hold it
and . the fish, too, and unless the fish
lets go it is caught. N. Y. Sun.

Congressman Ellis, representati- e
from the second congressional district
of Oregon, is very anxious to have the
and south of Hood Fiver and A t.
Hood excluded from the Cascade forest
reserve, and opened up to settlement.
He holds that this land, beinir very
fertile and well locstsr', : shonl I 1 e
given up to farm and school prrposes,
and opened to those wishing to avail
themselves of its rr.anv advantages.
Just now the interior department has
the matter under consideratior, but
from what Mr. r.llis has heard from
officials there, and from bis colleagues
n congress, he feels tolerably certain
of succeeding in Bavin? this land

Dunkards.
The Dunkards.xir Tunkera, belong tr
a sect founded in 1708 at Schwarzenan,
Germany, by Alexander Mack and seven
others,, who rejected the doctrines of
poedo-bnptism. The name is a nick
name, derived from the German Tunker
to dip members of the sect styling
themselves Brethren. Persecution
drove the founders to Holland, and be
tween 1719 and 1729 they all emigrated
thence to America. They are found in
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio
and Indiana, and it is apparent that
some have found their way further
west, but their numbers all told are
not great. Their church discipline is
nearly the same as that of other Bap
tists, except that every brother is al
lowed to exhort. Men found apt to
teach are ordained ministers, and the
oldest teachers bishops. The Dunkards
affect great plainness of speech and
dress, like the Quakers; neither take
oaths, fight, nor go to law; and former
ly they took no interest. They cele
brate the taking of the sacrament with
love feasts, washing of feet, the kiss
ef charity, and the right hand of fel
lowship; anoint the sick with, oil for
reeovery; and practice complete im
mersion, with laying on of hands and
prayer even while the person baptized
is in the water. N. Y. Tribune.
