A ptnyn Is n shallow, lint floored de pression, characteristic of valleys hav lug no regular drainage to the sea, lu which storm waters collect mid evap orntc. It may tie n shallow lake or a unit Intrusted nnul flat. In his description of the ancient I.nko I.nliontnn, In Nevada. I. C. Hus tell wiltes: "The scenery on the larger playas Is peculiar and Is usually desolate lu tho extreme, hut Is not ulthout Its charm. In crossing these wastes the traveler may rido for mites over n perfectly level floor, with an unbroken sky lino heforc hlui and not an object In sight to cast a shadow on the ocean-like ex panse. "Mirages, which may lie seen almost every day on these heated deserts, give strange fanciful forms to the moun tains and sometimes transfigure them beyond recognition. A pack train crossing the desert n few mites distant may appear like some strange caravan of grotesque beasts fording a shallow lake, tlto shores of which advance as one rides away. The monotony of mid. day on the desert Is thus broken by elusive forms that nre ever changing and suggest a thousand fancies, which divert the nttcutlou from tho fatigues of the journey. "The cool evenings and mornings In theso arid regions, when the purplo shadows of distant mountains are thrown across tho plain, have a charm that Is unknown beneath more humid skies, and the profound stillness of the night in these solitudes Is always Im pressive."

Wo hear n great deal about the lux ury and cxtrnvagauco of Cleopatra, the queen of tho Nile, and of the jror gcous feasts she and Murk Antony had together, yet these little dinners and suppers for two cost Cleopatra only about 4 shillings, with wine uud attendance. If Cleopatra had lived In these times sho could not possibly get n supper at 2 shillings a head, with waiter and wlno Included. In those days a large jar of wlno cost only 4 shillings, ajid this probably Instctl a long time. A pigeon was dear at 2!& pence, and a quantity of veg etables which lasted for mouths could be bought for about 8 shillings. Slaves wero easy enough to get, and their dress was ho scanty that liveries couldn't have been expensive. Cleopatra onco went lu for a very costly drink. She melted a priceless pearl In a glass of wine uud presented It to Mark Antony. Hut the queen of Kgypt did not go In for such extrav aguuecs every night. Xcro, tho tyrannical emperor of the Itonmus, famed for his extravagant, luxurious living, who gave twenty-two courso dinners, where tho guests re clined on ivory ami silver couches and dipped their fingers Into linger bowls which contained costly wines, did not spend nearly bo much on feasting as many modern millionaires.

Vet In Slam one mut keep a careful watch on such elephants r" lie may own, no matter what their size, lest they he stolen frpm u!j. Elephant stealing hi Slam has al ways been more or less prevalent and for some time past has been a source of much anxiety to the officials. Itcg ulatlons wero drawn up about fifteen years ago by the British and Siamese authorities with a view to tho suppres sion of this offense. Later theso wore supplemented by additional regula tions, embodying definite rules for the purchase and sale of elephants and Imposing penalties ou all persons In possession of elephants who are not provided with sulc papers properly ex ecuted before the local authorities. Notwithstanding all these precau tious elephant stealing continues in Slam, and lu one year alone fifty ele phants were stolen from British for esters, representing a loss of some $45,000. The Karen tribesmen are the chief offenders: hut, though their somewhat luacccsstblo villages are well known to the near kweu, or district official. In so single Instance has the assist ance rendered by the Siamese officials led to the discovery of tho elephant stolen or of the thief. In short, re covery, when effected, has been duo to the activity and energy of the Urltlsli foresters and the searching parties sent out by the British compa nies who employ the foresters.

Tho "Black Books" of Lincoln's Inn of tho six teenth century aro full of references to offenders who were "fyued double comeus durynge such tymo as they shall have any berde." This provlug Ineffective, a whole batch of bearded barristers was In 1554 "banysshed from yo Howse," and shortly afterward a Judge's order was obtained for the compulsory shaving of sotuo of the members. Tho Inner temple benchers were not quite so se vere, for a flue of -0 shillings was tho old penalty Imposed hi 1555 for "wear yug beanies of uioru than three weckes growthe." The war against bearded barristers continued at the Inns of Court until the seventeenth century. Long ufter this, however, tho prejudice, ugalust tho un shaved barrister remained. Tho late Vice Chancellor Bucou carried hU dis like so far that he always refused to listen to bearded or mustached coun sel, pretending that he could not hear them. Even now, although there aro plenty of bearded barristers and IC. C.'s. few lmvo attained eminence. The most brilliant exception was per. haps the luto Judah I'lilltp Benjamin, "sliver tongued Beujamlii," who de spite his mustache uud American "goatee" earned the princely income of 35,000 a year.

BEND, OREGON Your Health Dog fanciers have long noted that when a house-dog begins to get fat and wheezy It Is pretty apt to bo attacked by a stubborn skin disease In such a case they cut down tho, diet and lncreaso the open air exer cise, thus relieving tho ovor-burdoncd body of poisonous substances.
