O R EG O N BLOOD PURIFIER NOW DB. WM. PTUNDKK CO.. M I m THINK BEFORE BREAKFAST. You Con Do It Bottor B i m u n Mind W ill El# Clooror. Your To ¿ay "Think beiore you eat” sounds something like ‘‘ Look be fore you leap, / and there is really just as much reason for one as for the other, according to many au thorities who have long studied mankind to learn when they were capable of their best thinking. If a man is dependent upon his life work by means of his thinking it is just as important that he should choose that time when he is best qualified to think aa it is impor tant that be should look before he crosses a street. Morning, before breakfast, is said to be the very best time for think ing. There are alwava exceptions. Then, again, there are many who declare they can think better Ht night who perhaps never made the experiment of giving serious thought to anything before breakfasting. Men who employ thousands of op eratives, clerks and such people are agreed that their employees produce a great deal more work during the hour before they go to lunch than they do during the hour right after lunch. Of course the reason for this is quite natural. The food taken into the stomach ca(lls upon the blood to help do its share in the work of di gestion. and thia leaves less blood in the brain. When all the blood goes from the brain, or nearly all, a per son becomes unconscioua— that is, utterly unable to think at all in any degree. Consequently it if only logic to claim that anything that takes the blood from the brain de tracts just so much from one’a thinking capacity. Probably the majority of novelists do the best part of their work in the .morning. Many of them take a very light breakfast, a cup of mild coffee and some toast, and then write four or five hours. After that they take a hearty meal and devote the remainder of the day to play that is. to idleness or exercise or motoring or anything that amuses them, but does not call for brain concentration. * A great many business men have a habit of dictating all their letters the first thing upon entering their office in the morning. Other let ters that come through the day are unanswered except in caaes of neces sity until the next morning. • In this manner these men are able to ì O nm i think clearly and concisely anu quickly in the morning and dictate much better letters— letters that are clearer and of more value to the , business man. After a big dinner, a specially hearty mea}. we feel dull and heavy. Feeling like that, we are certainly not as brilliant mentally as we were before eating.— New York Ameri can. v Tib e ta n T.a m a k ln g , An Englishman while in Tibet was invited out to tea and learned the art of teamaking as practiced in that country. It appears to be some what aa follows: For six persons boil a teacupful of tea in three pints of water for ten minutes, with a heaping dessert spoonful of soda. Put the infusion into the churn, with one pound of batter and a small tablespoonful of salt. Churn until the combination is of the consistency of cream. The Tibetans prize butter for its age. The best is often forty, fifty or even sixty years old.— Harper's. Candles Used as a Clock. Various expedients for measuring time were in use before the inven tion of clocks. Alfred the Great caused six tapers to be made for his daily use. Each taper was twelve inches long and of proportionate diameter. The whole length was divided into twelve parts of one inch each, of which three would burn for one hour, so that each ta per should be consumed in four noun. The six tspers, lighted one after another, lasted twenty-four houn.— Indianapolis News. Fam ous O ld M edallion«. Medallions of earlier date than 117 A. D. are extremely rare and consequently very valuable. A well known example of great beauty is the gold medallion of Caesar Au gustus. Of much earlier dale, how ever, are the famous Syracusan me dallions, so called, although they were used as coins. These medal lions, which are generally admitted to he the finest and most perfectly executed that have ever been struck, belong to the best period of Greek art, 400-336 B. C. On their faces they bear an ideal head, magnificent in its swinging sculpturesque lines, and upon the reverse the representa tion of a victorious quadriga, por trayed with a vigor of action worthy of those old Greek masters. The battle ei Buena Vista was one of the decisive battles of the Mexican war. There were about 20,000 Mexicans to some 5,000 United States troops engaged, and- the result put the northern part of Mexico at the mercy of the United States. , | It may be said that as it was in that battle so it was in every battle of the Mexican war. From the be- j ginning to the end the Mexicans did not win a solitary victory, j The Mexicans Rhowed a splendid - coursge. In nearly every instance < they greatly outnumbered their ad | versaries. and in nearly every in- - stance, again, they had the advan tage of position. Still the Ameri cans invariably beat them. At Palo Alto 2,000 Americans routed 6,000 Mexicans, and at Resa- ca de la Palma the odds were about I the same.* At M o n k e y , Taylor, with 6.000 men. stormed a place ¡ that was defended by a force 12,000 strong. At Buena Vista the. odds were four to one against the Amer icans, as they were also at Sscra- jmento. At Sierra Gordo General | Scott, with 8,000 men, found Santa Anna strongly intrenched with 12,- 000. and yet he walked right over him. killing and wounding 1,000 of his men, capturing 3,000 and dia persing the rest. Finally Scott, with 12.000 men as against 30,000 of the enemy, won Churubusco, Chapultepec and the (Sty of Mexico itself. Thns in every instance through out the Mexican war were the invad ers victorious and notwithstanding the fact that the advantage in num bers and in position was invariably with those whose country they were invading. This is a decidedly nnique fact in the history of warfare, since it would-be difficult, if not impossible, to find another conflict between two nations in which there was not, to some extent at least, a division of the honors of the battlefield. The explanation is left for the psychologists and for those who stTTdv the deeper traits of men and nations.— New York American. E a sy to Looata tha Polos. Suppose a person who was igno rant of astronomy and the method of taking observations should set out to find the north pole. How would he know when he reached it? By setting up a vertical rod and measuring its shadows at frequent intervals as the sun passed around the sky. If these shadows all re mained of the same length during the sun’s course through the heav ens. the “ ignorant” explorer would then know he was at the pole. If the lengths of the rod’s shadows ju ried during the twenty-fonr hours he could not be at the pole, and the direction in which the shadows fell shortest would indicate the way in which the boreal point lav. Of course such observations could only be made during the “ arctic day” — that is. when the sun is above the horizonrin the northern latitudes. Elephant Polio*. The sight of six pairs of élé phants simultaneously at work cap turing a half dozen struggling, trumpeting males is an imposing one. Like a pair of animal police- 1 men arresting a prisoner, the great beasts Bidle alongside a victim, take him between them and jostle and squeeze and worry him, tail first, to ward a tree. Every inch is contested : by the herculean fighters until near- ! ing a stout tree or stump the little i brown elephant catchers slide from | their mounts to the ground, crawl , under the ponderous animals, slip j cable slings about a hind foot and take a turn around a tree.— Strand Magazine. Oyotor* Killed by Boawood. Extensive ravages are often com- ! mitted by seaweed spores in oyster 1 beds in a very curious fashion. The weed grows on the shell of the oys ter and ia of an oval shape, solid at ! first and afterward filled with war I t«r. It often attains the size of a hen’s egg or even o f a man’s fist. 1 Left uncovered by the tide, it splits and loses its water, ’fhis is replaced by air, which ia imprisoned by the next rise of the tide. The seaweed now acts as a balloon, raises the oys ter from the bottom and floats with it out to sea. Hundreds of thou sands of oysters are thus lost. Tho Blggoet Drug Btoro. The largest chemist’s shop in the world is to be found neither in Lon don nor in New York, but in Mos cow. It is also the oldest and is known as the Ancient Pharmacie Nikolska. In this huge establish ment, which was founded more than 200 years ago, there are 252 dis pensers, men and women, and 466 other employees of one kind and an other. Considerably over half a mil lion prescriptions are made up in the course of a year. . As everybody knows, there have been devised various methods * hereby exceedingly low tempera tures have been obtained. While the arctic regions provide lorne fairly cold weather—say, 60 or 75 degrees below zero, P.—the tcientists have been able to surpass nut tire’s achievements in this line. ;nd when they wish 150 or 250 de grees below zero they can obtain it. How this is done it is unnecessary here to state. It is interesting to note the effects of such low temper atures on animal life. Doga when introduced to such an environment withstand it well, pro vided they are covered in blankets and wool and provided the experi ment is of short duration. But a enrious fact is that when they emerge from such a temperature fhev are fearfully hungry. Having seen that dogs stood the experiments well, one experimenter tried the effects of intense cold upon himself and went down into his “ cold pit** carefully dressed in warm clothing and furs, The tem perature was maintained steadily at 110 below zero C., 166 F. After four minutes the experi menter felt very hungry and was mote 4n when he put an end to the experiment, coming out of the cold after eight minutes. He took a hearty meal and enjoyed it thor oughly, and this seemed all the more strange since for years he had not known what it meant to be hungry. Appetite had been a word without meaning to him. and the digestion of each meal waa commonly such a painful process that he ate very lit tle and never enjoyed it. He repeated the "cold experi ment” daily for a week, and after eirrht cold hatha of eight or ten min utes each his pain and distress after eating vanished. Appetite was re stored and digestion became pain less.— Harper’s Weekly. Irving and the Bagpipo*. The bagpipes have a strange at traction for all sorts and conditions o f people. That enthusiastic High lander, Dr. Alexander Duncan F1»- zer, in his book. “ Some Reminis cences and the Bagpipe,” tells how Henrv Irving was lying seriously ill in a Glasgow hotel when a Highland gathering was being celebrated in a room below. He sent a message begging that the piper would play to him, which he did, marching up and down the passage outside the sickroom. Then the great actor told the piper how, in his youth, he had played in Glasgow in a piece called “ The Siege of Lucknow.” His entry was the signal for the pipes to strike up. “ I shall never forget,” he said, the wave of enthusiasm that swept over that great audience as the first notes of the pipe fell upon their ears—the Highlanders were com ing. Jessie’s dream was answered, and Lucknow was relieved. I have loved the pipes ever since.” Sclantifio D iscovery by a Cat. The cat has often served the pur poses of science, but generally not to her own comfort and frequently with the loss of her life. One cat in Australia, however, proved her use fulness in the advancement of hu man knowledge without being com pelled to sacrifice herself on the al tar of science. This cat belonged to a member of an expedition into the interior of Australia. One day it brought to its master a strange little animal which it had captured among the rooks. The trooper handed the animal over to the anthropologist of the party, who saw at once that pussv had made an important dis covery. The animal she had caught was a new and apparently rare spe cies of the tribe of insect eating marsupials belonging to the great family of which the giant kangaroo is the most conspicuous representa tive.— Harper’s.

The most terrible duel fought at any time in Paris was the one be tween Colonel D., an old Bonapart- ist officer, and M. de G. of the gardes du corps, a mere youth bi^t of herculean strength. The two men. lashed together so as to leaye their right arms free, were armed with short knives, placed in a hack- nev coach and driven at a tearing gallop around the Place de la Con corde. Thev were taken out of the coach dead. The colonel had eight een stabs, the youth only four, but one of these had pierced his heart.
