W hy the Throat Balks and Makoo It a
Difficult Task.
A few words o f hurried conver­
sation between two French settlers
had an important part in deciding
the question whether the far north­
western territory, from which the
etates o f Washington, Oregon and
Idaho were formed, should belo:
to Great Britain or the Uni'
State«. A monument at Champoeg,
on the Willamette river, marks the
spot where this interesting episode
took place. Mr. Theodore T. Geer,
formerly governor o f Oregon, tells
about it in his book, "F ifty Years
In Oregon,” and quotes from the
story o f F. X. Matthieu, who saved
the day fo r the United States.
On a threatening, cloudy May day
in 1843 102 settlers and Hudson
bay trappers, coming from near and
far, crowded into a log building
at Champoeg and held a stormy
meeting. The Americans stood for
an organized government and ac-
uisition o f the territory by the
fnited States. The Hudson bay
men stood aa firmly opposed, and
when a vote was taken it was hard
to tell which had won, since a good
many on both sides were crowded
about the doors, unable to push
their way inside.
A division was called for, and to
make this possible the men rushed
out to the little half acre field in
front o f the building. There every­
body began gesticulating frantically
and discussing the situation with
great excitem ent
"A ll in favor o f organization fo l­
low m e !" shouted Joe Meek, the
famous pioneer and banter, striding
to one side.
The Americans followed tq a
man. A count disclosed the fact
that there were fifty men with
Meek and fifty opposed, with two
men, both Frenchmen, between the
opposing forces, not taking sides,
and engaged in a very earnest con­
versation. One o f these, Etienne
Lacier, had been led to believe
that heavy taxes would be levied on
all property if the Americana or­
ganized a government. The tax on
a single pane o f glaas, he had heard,
would be 25 cents. The other, F. X.
Matthieu, was in favor o f organisa­
tion.
“ Anyway,” he said to his coun­
tryman, "you know yon have no
window glass in your house rat and
won't have for a long time.’* (Most
o f the settlers need skins in place
o f sisas.) "W hat difference will it
make ? And it isn’t so, anyway."
The suspense Usted but a few
momenta Then the two men turned
and took their places with the
Americans. While hats were flying
in the air and hand shaking was
going on the defeated Hudson bay
men mounted their horses and rode
away, leaving the other party to or­
ganise a government and later to
establish in that wide territory
three greet stetee o f the American
Union.
It ia a matter o f observation that
the putting o f a pill into the mouth
o f an inexperienced person is likely
to result in a startling performance;
also it has been observed that when
cherries are eaten some care must
be taken that one of the pits does
not escape down the esophagus.
Why is it that the throat refuses
the beneficial pill, tablet or capsule
and yet seizes upon a cherry pit,
which is o f no use to the human or­
ganism ?
A similar condition is that o f a
musician playing well when alone
and faltering in the presence of
listeners.
It has been advanced
that fear inconveniences the nerv-
ous system, causing the musician to
fumble and the pill swallower to
procrastinate.
I f a person walking down stain
takes account o f every step he ia
likely to miss his footing, or if he
proceed to walk with unusual dig­
nity before onlookers he may give
way to an awkwardness that is not
characteristic o f him.
In the habitual performance o f
any act the muscles acquire an auto­
matic proficiency. When the same
act Is done with conscious effort a
lack o f experience in such conscious
method interferes with the self
trained functions o f the muscles.
The musician who deliberately im­
poses his mind upon his playing,
after letting his fingers become
habituated to the keyboard, disar­
ranges the performance. The man
who runs from danger utterly re­
lieves his legs o f mental supervision.
His one thought is to ne sway.
Mental supervision o f every stride
would delay him.
When a pill is taken into the
mouth the voluntary effort to pnt
the swallowing muscles into opera­
tion hinders the spontaneous ac­
tion o f the throat which would seize
upon a cherry pit. If a man were
accustomed to take cognizance of
eranr morsel o f food swallowed he
would have no difficulty with a pill
even when taking one for the first
time.— Harper’s Weekly.

Were Tied to the Union.
Uniforms to Soars tho Enomy.
Bed uniforms were first adopted
by the Emperor Valerius Maximus
in order that the Roman soldiers
might not be frightened by the
sight o f their own blood. The le­
gionaries o f ancient Rome wore the
skins o f bears on the field o f battle
to make them look fierce. For the
same reason they put figures of
frightful beasts, on their shields and
helmets.
From this odd custom
•prang modern crests and armorial
bearings. The idea o f scaring the
enemy by each devices has been per­
petuated up to quite recent times.
Tall bearskin hats were originally
adopted to make them look taller
by the French cuirassiers, each of
whom carried a handful o f grenades
for scattering among the ranks of
their foe.
Tho CarnoTo Hump.
The hump o f the camel is an ac­
cumulation o f a peculiar species of
fat which is not liable to be acted
upon by the great beat to which
the animal is exposed. It consists
chiefly of stearine or hard fat. It
is, in fact, a storehouse of nourish­
ment beneficently provided against
the day o f want, to which the ani­
mal in a wild atate ia often exposed
and from which he is not entirely
exempted in a state of domestica­
tion. The dromedary or camel can
exist for a long period upon this
hump alone, without any other
food, and it does not die of want
until tbe hump haa been entirely
absorbed and applied to the nour­
ishment o f the system.
