' The Federal Court has sustained
the Oregon Sunday cloning law as be
ing constitutional. This law has teen
on the statute boohs of the State for
Tears, and is often referred to as tba
"bine law." . The law is one tbat has
been enforoed tut little, and then only
apasmodioallv in localities where sen
timent favoied it to tbe extent of pres
sure beins brought to bear on offiioial
ntservauoe. Judge Wolveiton's de
rision comes at this time as a result of
denial to tbe Brnnswiok-Balke-Cal-
lenderOo.. mannfaotnreis nf Billiard
and pool ball equipment, for an in
junction against tbe district attoiueys
nf the State uf Oregon from enforcing
the law. wbiob if enforoed, would
olose tbe billiaid balls on Sunday, and
thereby ourtail tbe earnings of the
oomsany. Points of the decision are
that the law does not violate the tour
teenth amendment of the Federal oon
elitntion or tbe twentieth amendment
of the State constitution.

MEMORIES OF THE PAST.
Congress Gaiters and Herdics and Car
pet Bags and the Like.
A London journalist asks, "Where
are those elastic side boots, beloved by
the men and women of ihe sixties?"
He probably refers to the boots known
In this cotiutry as "congrera gaiters."
Why "congress?" Countrymen visit
ing Washington thought that members
of congress always drank congress wa
ter. Perhaps they did, undoubtedly
they needed it. But did they neces
sarily wear congress gaiters? Tbe true
western statesman was proud of bis
leg boots, Tbe popularity of the con
gress gaiter In this country was due
to tbe c.w with which it was put on.
It was tbe shoe for fat men, for Indo
lent persons, for tbose that were men
tally down ut the heel, discouraged
and depressed.
Where are those shoes now? But
what has become of all the herdics
and wbero Is Peter BerdlcT Where
are all tbe old fastloned carpet bags,
the moss agate rings and sleeve but
tons, tbe hair jewelry, tbe mustache
cups and napkin bands? Where are
the revolving casters that were once
the center ornament of the dining
room table? "What will you have
from tbe caster?" Where are the
clinking silver plated ice water pitch
ers, with gold lined goblets, tbat stood
on tbe sideboard or on tbe table in
the directors' room of a bank or office
of some corporation? What an amaz
ing amount of Junk there must be In
this world. Including novels that were
for a time prodigiously popular, serious
books that were once called definite,
final, epoch making. Philip Hale in

How the Tiny Insect la Weaned From
His Jumping Habit.
"Tbe teaching of the flea to do any
sort of trick Is, of course, a tedious,
difficult matter," said a flea trainer.
"The first thing to do is to break it of
Its natural habit of jumping.
"One enn see bow necessary this Is
when one considers the flea is less than
one-eighth of nn Inch In length and
has a Jump of three feet 300 times Its
own length. If a six foot man had
the same leaping power he could make
leaps of 1,800 feet, so that wben a flea
has the advantage of one leap be Is
good as gone forever. My apparatus
for Jump breaking Is n round glass
ball. I confine him In this for three
weeks. I look through this ball, touch
It, flash lights Into It, talk, do every
thing to let the flea accustom himself
to my presence. At ntst be will Jump
and Jump. lie strikes ngalnt the
curved walls and gets bruised. After
time, and I And three weeks to be
ample, the flea gets to know me, and
be also gets to know that It la less
painful to crawl thnn to Jump and get
bruised.
'The den cannot differentiate be
tween transparent glass and no glass,
so that when I take him from the ball
ho still strikes this peculiar obstruc
tion and so lie don't Jump. So, you see,
n flea must hnve some reasoning power
somewhere, but I nm in no position to
sny where It Is located. That Is why
I have to pick (lens up with tweezers
and put tbem on my arm when I want
to feed them. They don't dare to
Jump on me."-Knnsas City Star.
