A movement has been started by tho Fortland Association of Credit Men that ought, and no doubt will, receive the hearty co-operation of the clttxcna of liond. It Is for a "Flro Day." This Is another term for a clean-up day, as It Is known here.' The object of such a day Is to rid the town of rubbish that Is dangerous because It Is excellent material In which a Are may be started from a carelessly thrown match, cigar or cigarette stub. With tho flro "hoodoo" which has been pestering bead, there Is hardly any one who would not Join enthusi astically In having such a day desig nated locally. October IS has been suggested as tho day, and the Portland people arc asking the Governor to Issuu a proclamation to this effect, thereby making tho movement state-wide. Tho writing of letters to this effect to the Governor Is urged. Tho mat ter should also be placed before tho City Counoll; the aid of tho ladies, who are a great power for good when It comes to neatness and tidiness, should be enlisted; tho boys and girls ought to bo aroused; the teachers should talk to their pupils, and the ministers urgo the movement from their pulpfts. It should be a "pull together" of everybody, thereby making such a day an event of much civic Import ance, not only placing the town be fore the public as a model of cleanli ness but also removing the danger of fire, to a largo extent. The annual Ore loss In the United States Is $2.C1 for each Inhabitant. In Oregon in 1911 It totaled the enormous sum of $1,653,487.98, or more than $2.45 for each man, woman and child In the state. This Includes only the losses paid by the Insurance companies, taking no ac count of all losses not covered by Insurance. FODGHTAPYTHON Fearful Plight of a Man Trapped In tho Big Snako's Den.

Plucky and Successful Strugglt to Es cape tht Embraes of ths Writhing MomUr, Which Would Hsv Cruh d Its Victim Llk-an Eggshell. Fow mon after having been roughly squcexcti by n python have lived to tell of their seusatlous while In tho em brace of the big snake. An English' man employed In tho London zoologl cat gnrdcus was, howexer, ono of the fortunate few. Tho Britisher while In Antwerp vis--tted tho Janlln Zoologhme, where he observed that a big pjrtlmn-a female about fourteen feet tu length was suf feting from carte of the Jaw, with ul ceration, of tho mucous membrane, a condition often fatal to snakes In con dnement. Having pointed this out to tho resl dent director, the Englishman obtained permission to make trial of an oint ment that be had found cftlcaclous In the early stago of the dlscaxo among hU owu snaked. Now, as III luck would hare It, tho regular keecr was nbcut on this ar Ocular occasion, and his place was till oil for the time by another from some other department or the Institution. This man s-wke nothing but Flemish, a longua of which the Urlton was Ig norant. The Englishman went Into the py thon's den with this nttenduut. taking It for granted, of course, that the uiau was accustomed to snakes and band ing bttn the box of ointment to hold un til the Briton should be ready to use It When the Englishman bad brought the pythou fairly dowu to the floor he gripped her hard by the neck, which action bad the effect, as bo Intended It to have and wblcb It always bus with snakes, of making her open her mouth. While holding her thus bo pressed her bead away from htm at the same time to prevent her catchlug bold of any portion of bis clothing In her efforts to overcome him. In her fright and rage she drew her body up across tho Brltlshcr'a back and twisted her tail round and round his other arm. All that the Englishman now rcaulml of the i-ciht wus. by teasing or pinching her bi-tv and there or by unwinding tho tall when necessa ry, to cause her to shift her colls con stantly and prevent her resting long enough on oue spot to apply undue pressure. The Englishman turned to make a sign to the Fleming to bo ready to band blm the ointment To the foreigner's dismay the Fleming" face, with a sort of full. Impartial interest, looked at him through the glass In front, the door closed on the outside! He had become frightened by the python and bad quiet ly departed. At the same Instant that the British er turned the serpent tightened on him so suddenly and violently that be mo mentarily lost consciousness. Then he found himself staggering about the den dghtlng for life. He expected bis ribs to give way every moment, yet bis chief fear at the time wus of falling through the glass. He pusbi-d the reptile's hesd away from him with all bis strength lest It should cross his breast, and be can re member i-ati'blng sight of himself, a mulberry colored figure, lu the mirror All tbe time that be fought be knew that be was trampling over the other pythons, who, furious at tbe disturb nil'-?, were now darting about the don. above nud all around blm In every di rectlon. Tbe Britisher exerted every energy to keep bis fret, for he hsd retained suf ficient presence.of mind to reallxe that were be to go down all would be over with blm. The beat was stilling. He felt that be could endure It no longer Tbe cage spun madly round before bis yes, and be let go the snako'a bead. Tbe big serpent now twlstrd nharply over bis right shoulder 'lose to bis face and slid off to ths ground. Tbe Englishman remembers falling against tbe door with outstretched bands, but nothing mure until be found blqisflf sitting on tbe steps outside coughing violently, while the phleg matic kecer was for some a-rult rea son putting a hot key down his back. Fortunately the snakr hsd only a small part of ber body across thrttng IMbmnn's left side and hiu-k. Had she encircled him with n complete coll he would have been crushed Ilka an egg shell.

Among tho curiosities of advertising msy surely be placed the flmt adver tisement of tbe first steamer thst piled for hire In tirrat llritaln namely. Henry Hell's Comet. Thus ran tbe ad tertlsement In tbs Glasgow Courier of 1811': "Hteam passage boat, the Comet, be. tween Olasgow. Ureenm-k and Helens, burg. For passengers only. Tho sub crltxr having at much expense fitted up a handsome vessel to ply tion the river Clyde between tSlnsgow and (Jrccnock to sail by the power of wind, air and steam he Intends that the vessel shall leaie the Itmomtelaw on Tuesdays. Thursdays and Satur days about midday or nt such time thereafter as may answer from the state of the tide and to leave iSrccn ock on Mondays. Wednesdays: and I'rl days In the morning to suit the tide. The elegance, comfort, safety and speed of this vessel require only to be proved to meet the npprobatlon of tbe public, and the proprietor Is de termined to do everything In his power to merit public encouragement The terms are for tbe present 4 shillings fur the best cabin and .'I shillings for the second, but beyond these rates nothing Is to be allowed to crrnnts or any other person employed about tbe vessel," What would poor neglected Henry Dell have said could ho bare seen his humblo llttlo Comet, of whoso ele gance, comfort and speed he was so proud, alongside a modern ocean racer or one of the latest palatial river steamers of the Clyde or Thames, all so well advertised?

Chsngts In Plumsgs Thst Are Pus. sting to ths Novice. Most erery ono In America Is nc qualuted with the goldtluch, but many people know the bird by the name of lettuce bird on account of Its bright yellow color, Ooldtlnch Is a very tip proprlato name, as the bright yellow of the nmlo when he Is In breeding plumugo Is like burnished gold. The female goldfinch Is more modestly dressed than her mate. The changes In plumage of tho mule are very Inter esting uud to tho novlco somewhat puz tllng. Until tho student becomes acquainted with the bird be may wonder why he sees no mules during the winter. Tb truth Is ut this seasou the flocks of sup. losed fema.e goldfinches aro really of both sexes, the male bird having as. sumed In ttw previous fall, usually by the end of October, a plumage close. ly resembling that of the female and young bird of the yenr. The male rc tslus this Inconspicuous dress until late In February, when one can notlc a gradual change taking place In some of tbe birds. This renewal of feathers Is actively continued through March and A'irli. ( MS I Ck'5 -fncO ' V. - i e& i v, ? 'Sici'Wr wmm SMSstst Sept. 18, 1911 Dear Friend: I don't nee how. they make macaroni.
