HARVEY W . SCOTT.
H a r v e y W. S c o t t , pioneer ot
Oregon, veteran newspaper man
and editor o f the Oregonian
without a break for the past
thirty years, died at Johns Hop
kins University, Baltimore, on
last Sunday evening, following a
surgical operation.
The involuntary expression ot
feeling following the sudden
death of a man, whether his
sphere o f influence be local or
general, is otten a good measure
of the life that has departed. It
is likewise often the most per
fect tribute that can be oflered.
So guaged, it seems that hardly
too much can be said of the place
which Harvey Scott has filled in
the life ot Oregon and the North
west.
This is not said in the spirit of
reckless or fulsome eulogy. The
veteran editor was ever a mark
lor caustic criticism, as is every
editor worthy the name, whether
his field be large or small. Some of
it was doubtless deserved, as is
nearly always the case. But the
very criticism itself was a tribute
to the force, the personality, the
heroic stature, ot the man. He
always loomed big in the Great
West of which he was part and
parcel.
-
He has ever been a state asset
o f which Oregonians boast when
abroad. We speak o f Oregon’s
timber, her fruits and flowers,
and of Harvey Scott and the Or
egonian.
Afid oftentimes the
mention of the man and the
newspaper brought the most en
thusiastic, intelligent response.
We may still speak o f the paper,
but we will have to shift the
tense o f the man who gave it
personality and national reputa
tion, and call his name as we do
those of Greeley, Raymond, Dana
and Bennett.
Oregon has lost an intellectual
giant, a man ot uncompromising
principle and irresistible purpose,
the Bismarck of Western jour
nalism, and her most distin
guished citizen.
HOW WORDS CHANGE
‘

lain Only a Paaaant.
In the New York panic o f 185? a
Frenchman declared that he should
lose all his “ propriety.” It sounds
like something to laugh at. Never
theless “ property” and “ propriety’ ’
have the same French derivation.
Words have a knack o f shifting not
only from their sources, but also
out o f their own original meanings.
We accept an anecdote as a short
diverting story. Etymologically it
means something as yet unpub
lished.
T o prevent, which is now to hin
der, meant in its Latin original to
anticipate.
A girl was anciently a young per
son o f either sex.
Mountebank was the term applied
o f old to the patent medicine vend
er who mounted a bench to pro
claim his wares. It is from the
Italian.
Paradise in oriental tongues
meant only a royal ark.
Astonished means literally thun
derstruck, coming from “ attonare.”
A knave was once merely a lad
and a villain only a peasant.
T o be silly was in its ancient
sense to be blessed.
T o be officious was to be cour
teously ready to do kindly office.
I f a man was facetious, in the
early English, be was but urbane.
An idiot was a private citizen as
distinguished from an officeholder.
Frontispiece, if considered from
its Latin source, is not a picture in
the front o f a book, but the front
view o f something. The Latin word
is frontispicinm.
Beldam is not an abusive term
in its French source, but means a
fair lady.
Shamefaced comes from a good
Anglo-Saxon term which means not
one exhibiting shame, but one pro-
• tected by shame, being therefore in
nocent and modest.— New York

TRAINING L IONS.
A Daring Performance That Had a
Very Simple Explanation.
Some years ago a lion tamer who
was exhibiting in a German circus
in Holland attracted immense
crowds at every performance by do
ing wbat seemed to be the most
daring o f acts in the lions' cage. He
vould climb into the cage with great
pieces o f meat and throw it to the
roaring beasts. The moment they
had leaped upon it he would spring
among them and put his foot on it.
The animals would growl furiously,
and then, just as the spectators
were all waiting breathlessly, ex-
ting that the beasts would tear
im to pieces, they would shrink
bsck, cowed. After he had repeat
ed this exciting act for many days
an Englishman made a wager with
him for a big sum o f money that
he would not dare to do it after the
lions had been starved for three
days. The trainer considered fo r a
moment and then accepted the wa
ger, making only the condition that
he be allowed to have three weeks
o f preparation.
At the end o f three weeks the
trainer announced that he was
ready, and the process o f starving
the lions began. The Englishman
kept guards posted around the cage
day and night to make certain that
not a morsel o f food should be giv
en to the animals. At the expira
tion o f the three days all Amster
dam rushed to the circus. The lions
were maddened with hunger, as any
one could see and hear, for they
roared continually, and their at
tempts to break through the bars
showed how angry they had be
come. In the height o f the uproar
the trainer entered the cage with
an immense piece o f beef in his
arms, He-tossed it on the floor of
the cage, raised his whip, and, lo,
not one lion dared to approach it.
The mighty brutes lay crouched,
roaring and growling so hard that
their great frames shook, and each
kept his terrific yellow eyes fixed
hungrily on the meat. But not one
o f them stirred.
The trainer stooped, lifted -the
beef and tossed it to them again,
and in a moment the lions were in •
great tawny.ball, rending and snarl
ing and tearing, with blood from
the mangled beef spurting all over
the cage. The Englishman paid his
bet and then tried to find out how
the lion tamer had’ .acquired such
wpnderfnl control over hit beasts.
At first the man wonld not tell, but
at last he consented to explain it.
During the three weeks’ period o f
preparation he had always starved
the lions from the very beginning.
Then on the fourth day he would
enter the cage with a piece o f beef
which had been soaked in kerosene
oil. The lions would no sooner
pounce upon it than they would
shrink away, sickened by the stench.
Then he would throw them a fresh
and good piece o f beef, whictf they
would devour in a moment. The
lions soon became so accustomed to
expecting that the first piece o f
beef that was thrown to them was
not good that at the end o f three
days they would not even move from
their corners when the trainer
threw it on the floor of the cage.
They wonld not try to eat any
thing except the second piece. So
the daring trick had a very simple
explanation.

Th* “ M inister's" Appetite.
-The minister of a kirk in a rather
remote country parish in Scotland,
with his ruling elder, went s long
journey for the “ catechising” o f an
old parishioner. The walk was long
and arduous, and when they arrived
at their destination their appetites,
to say the least, were somewhat
“ keen,” and they did justice to the
meal which the old parishioner o f
fered them.
“ Now, Janet?” said
the minister when he and his com-
inion had for awhile finished eat-
g, “ we will begin the serious busi
ness. Do you remember the text
for last Sunday ?”
“ Aye, 1 mind it well,” replied
Janet. “ It was about the miracle
of the loaves and the fishes.”
“ And have you pondered the sub
ject during the week, Janet?” con
tinued the minister.
“ 'Deed have 1, sir,” said the wo
man, “ and I’m thinkin* the noo that
if yon and the elder had been there
they wadna’ have taken np sae
Aiony basketfuls.”
