ORE.. FEB. 16 1912 with euob a elope is oot exposed so diieotly to the rays of the son, loses less moisture from evaporation and is less likely to suffer from hot winds. . Looal interest iu the industrial movement of the sobool ohildren was evidenoed in a meeting held in this oity Tuesday evening at whioh P. K. Welles, oonnty school superintendent, was the ptinoipal speaker. Tbis in dustrial movement pertaining princi pally to agriculture, is sweeping the state with intensive interest, one county superintendent stating that 4000 sohool ohildren from bis oonnty alone will have exhibits. Prizes to taling thousands of dollars have al ready teen offered to the children of - Oregon for industrial exhibits at the state and county fairs and sobool fairs. State Superintendent of Schools Alderman, cooperating with the coun ty superintendents, the State Fair Association, the Portland Commercial Clnb, the Oregon Development Leaaue. tbe State Bankers' Association, and tbe extension division of tbe Oregon Agrionltnrol College, will organize and conduct contests in corn growing, poultry raising, manual training, do mestio soionoe. potato crowing and other iudostrial work, and every oliild in tbe state will have opportunity to compete for the prize. The State Fair association bas agreed to furnish $1,100 in cash prizes for sobool exhib its, and promises of other prizes cmonnting to $3000. have also been made, while other interest? which will donttles9 contribute have not yet Leon approached. The commercial ulubs all over the state will posh tbe work, aud a committee on agricul tural edu'-alion from tbe Bankers' Association las agreed to raise at kast $1,800 to assist io tbe work. Feats of Archery. Ia the days when the buffalo was found in vast herds on the western plains there were Indians wbo, while riding at a gallop, could send an arrow through a buffalo's body. Remarkable as this archery was, yet it did not equal that reached by the archers of ancient times. It i3 of record tbat the MacRaes of Galrlock, Scotland, were such skillful archers that tbey could hit a man at tbe distance of COO yards. In 1704 the Turkish ambassador at London shot an arrow, in a field near that capital, 415 yards against tbe wind and 4S2 yards with the wind. Tho secretary of tbe ambassador, on hearing the expressions of surprise from tbe English gentlemen present, said the sultan had shot COO yards. This was the greatest performance of modern days, but a pillar, standing on a plain near Constantinople, record ed shots ranging up to 800 yards. Sir Robert AInslle, British ambassador to tho sublime port, records that in 1798 he was present when the sultan shot an arrow 072 yards. New York Press. mals said to be immune are the pig and the hedgehog. The experiments of British naturalists show that an animal of tho dormouse family must be added to tho list of the immune. This animal is known as tbe lerot aud is said to fight fiercely with vipers. Large doses of viper's poison were In jected into one lerot, from which in jection no ill effects followed. On one occasion a lerot was bitten badly in the eye by a viper, and no signs of poisoning occurred. There can, it is I thought, be no doubt that the lerot is immune to snake poison. Washington dispatches of last week indicate tbat tbe railroads are to get another Supreme Court judge at the bands of President Taft. Tbe partic ular individual this time is Judge Ilook, whoso strong-arm judiolal work for oorpotalion interests in the lower courts naturally enough oommends him to tbe corporation President for promotion. From different directions come testimonials to Judge Hook's fitness, from tbe corporation point of view. One of his exploits was in tbe Oklahoma railroad ra'e case, in which as a Federal judgo be granted an ic juuotiou against the State in behalf of railroads. In order to arrive at a oonoloHion as to tbe reasonableness of rates, be took tbe average assessed valuation par mile, added 25 per oout in order lo show a capital value largo enoagh to explain bis iujnuotiou against tbe reduction of rates required by tho Slato law. The value of ore railroad which without proof he fixed at 04 ,000 a mile has piuoe Icon re potted by the road itself to have cost only $31,000. Other minis costing less than $30,000 a mile, rolling stock inoluded, were valued by Jurigd Hook at approximately $30,000 a mile Hlill another performance of this interest ing Federal judge in tbe Okluhoma oases was the bundling together of the earnings of two nods, one of Whioh was making between !1 and 4 ler cent on L ia valuation, aud tbe other between 7 and 8. As the own erg of the less ptotltatle road owned the corporation that owmd t'io more profltable oue, uud as the aggregate not earnings of the two were Um (bun 0 per cent under the rate luw, Judge Ilook grouted uu injunction Bguinst the oufcroemout of that luw iu respcol rf Loth roads, this notwithstanding t'jat they wore operated as veil as owned by separate oouipuuleg distinct ly offioered, unci that ouch had brought it own suit for the iujnuotiou sep arately from the other. Mark Twain's German Coffee. German ' coffee must have given Mark Twain a pain, Judging from the following recipe which he gave for its concoction: Take a barrel of water and bring it to a boll; rub a chicory berry against a coffee berry, then convey the former into the water. Continue the boiling and evaporation until the intensity of tho flavor and nroma of the coffee nnd chicory have been diminished to proper degree; then set aside to cool Now unharness the remains of a once cow from tho plow, insert them In hydraulic press, and, when you shall have acquired a teaspoonful of that palo blue juice which a German super stition regards ns milk, modify the malignity of its strength In a bucket of tepid water and bring up the break' fast Mix the beverage in a cold cup, partake with moderation, and keep a wet rag around your head to guard against over excitement Clever Crows. In a garden n dog was eating a piece of moat In the presence of four covet ous crows. They evidently said a great deal to one another on the subject, and now nnd then one of them tried to pull the meat away from the dog, which he naturally resented. At last a big, strong crow succeeded in tearing off a piece, with which he returned to the tree where the others congregated. A long powwow now ensued, which end ed in nil four crows flying down to the dog, the leading crow dexterously drop ping the small piece of meat within reach of his mouth. ' The dog immedi ately snapped at It, unwisely letting go the big piece, which was seized by two crows nnd carried to tbe tree, where it was devoured with much fluttering and hilarity, while the cheated dog walked away with every appearance of discomfiture. St. Louis Globe Democrat. Gold Beaters' Skin. A cheap substitute is much desired for goldbeaters' skin, which Is prepar ed from tho outside membrane of the large Intestine of the ox. It is said that goldbeaters first tried paper for Inclosing the metal, and mulberry fiber paper is still used In China nnd Japan, but animal parchment bas been mostly employed for two or three cen turies at least. While a thinner leaf can be beaten out between paper parchment sheets, It is damaged by adhesion. A special German paper is coated with isinglass or albumen, and paper parchment of some kind is much used in the first stages, but goldbeat ers finish their product between gold beaters' skins, still pounding an ounce of gold Into 200 square inches of leaf.

Among tbe customers at Long's, tho famous hotel in Bond street, was tho last Mnrquls of Hastings, the most notorious of mid-Victorian spendthrifts. Hastings, according to one who knew him well, "gambled so that not even the Bank of England, backed by the Rothschilds, with the mines of tho Transvaal as additional supports, could have withstood the strain." Yet even he protested at Long's when charged 2s. Cd. for a whisky nnd soda. Tho proprietor declared that this had always been the charge. "About time It was altered, then," retorted the mar quis. Just before his death Hastings remarked to n friend: "I've made a pretty hash of my lifo. About all tho good I've ever done was to bring down tho price of a whisky and soda at Long's."

The Akers Hoe attachment regulates the depth of sowing, packs the soil around the grain and insures the groin to be perfectly covered.

FOR HUilAH OR AMfftlAL FLESH A remedy tha Is equally efficacious In hoallnpr tho wounds, sores, spiUdq or other ailments of the flesh of man or beact. A healing remedy to effectively meet the needs rf animal flesh need not be o. harsh, strong mixture, too drastic for tho human body; Ballard's Snow Liniment Is proof of this. It ranks with the best of the flesh healir.fr remedies designed for man; and It Is equally as prompt in curing the wounds and flesh diseases common among1 animals. Owners of blooded horses prefer ft to any other liniment because It leaves no disfiguring scars in any of the minor accidents or ailments. It heals by a mild power to which the flesh of horses responds readily. It Is of prrcat value in healing harness galls, barbed wire cuts, wounds, festering sore3 and many other ailments to which horsps are subject. In the relief of human suffering, it has done a world of good, particularly in casing the pains of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and lumbago. When gently rubbed in where the pain exists, it gives a most gratifying relief to the afflicted. As a household remedy for cuts, burns, bruises, sprains, contracted muscles, stiff neck, frost bites, swellings, chill blains, ivy poisoning, there ia nothing better on earth. - Put Up in Three Sizes, 25c, 50c and $1.00 per Bottle.
