TAN. 2l 1916 The Oregon Voter, a free lanoe puh lioation of Portland, spots Jonathan Bourne as follows; "Jonathan Bourne, Jr., world-citizen, one-time Senator from Oregon, and today one of the most influential men of the nation, is foeding publicity matter to the press of the wbole oonn try. Its one harden is the financial incompetency of the Demooratio ad ministration. Thousands of columns of bis authorship are published weekly throughout the United States. It is a powerful and telling influence, and, irrespective of whom the Republicans nominate for President next summer, the standard bearer, if successful, may give serious consideration to the idea of appointing Mr. Bourne to a Cab inet position possitly postmaster gen eral. Oronard and Farm says Oregon is oxoeptioanlly well adapted to seed produolion of oertaiu kinds, particu larly clover seed. Too dry an atmos phere prevents the seed from filling, tut the moisture of Western Oregon and the mild, tempemte climate not only makes the plants do well, but oauses the seed production to be heavy, Other sections which grow clover ex tensively are not good for seed pro duction, so rely to a oertaln extent upon Oregon for the seed to keep them going, and this makes a good market for all that oau bn proluoed. Persous who ate particularly inter ested in the matter of rural credits oan send to the United States Depart ment of States for a report of a hear ing of David Lubin, delegate of the United States to the International In stitute of ' Agrioulture, u before the State Department.

Propped up against the bouse of the native chief of Yap, which is one of the Caroline islands lying southeast ot the Philippines, may be Been a row of "money stones," tho current coin of the island. In shape these stones are like millstones, but they do no grind ing. They serve simply as a parade of tbe wealth of the villuge. Their value lies solely In the difficulty witb which they are obtalued. The yellowish granite of which they, are made is found only in the Island of Palao, 200 miles away, and when, the monsoon favors forty or fifty na tives voyage there In their vcanoes. After pacifying the king of Palao witB presents the work ot hewing tbe wala kn, or money stones, begins, lasting for months until the monsoon changes, when tbe tollers start homeward wlthi their "coin." The smallest of these stones Is about a foot in diameter and three inches thick, with a round bole tbrougb its center. It will buy food for a family for a month. Tbe large stones, about tbree feet In diameter and eight inches thick, have relatively much greater value, since It is more difficult to trans port them In cranky ennoes over such a long stretch of sea. Indemnities can be paid witb such a stone or tbe aid of neutrals purchased in time of war. -William L. Cathcart in St. Nicholas. THE NUMBER NINE. Current Bushel.

Examine any one of tbe statements of equality In tbe multiplication table) of nine, up to and Including nine times ten. Select, for example, 0X703; or 8X218. Observe that In each case the first digit In the product Is one less than the number by which nine is multi plied, and tbe second digit in tbe prod uct Is such that when added to the first digit, tbe sum of tbe two is nine. You may make practical use of this peculiarity of nine and its multiples by applying it In tbe following woy: If nine Is to bo multiplied by eight, for example, think at once of seven (which is one less than eight, tbe mul tiplier); then think of two, which must be added to seven to make nine, and you have seventy two, the product of nine aud eight. Or, If nine Is to be multiplied by Ave think of four, which Is one less than five; then think, of Ave. which must be added to four to make nine, and you have forty-five, tbe product of nine and Ave. By using this method tbe nines, usually among tbe hardest of the ta bles to fix hi the memory, may. In a short time, be fairly classed with the fives nud tens and elevens, which are said to "remember themselves." Youth's Compnnion. A High Priced Fricassee. Lord Alvanley. a noted wit and high liver In England n hundred years or so ago, insisted on having an apple tart on his dinner table every duy throughout the year. On one occasion he paid a caterer $1,000 for a luncheon put up In a basket that sulllced a small boating party going up the Thames. Being one of a dozen men dining together at a London club where each was required to produce his own dish, Alvanley's, as tho most expensive, won him the ad vantage of being entertained free of cost. This benefit wns gained at an expense of $540, that being the price of n simple fricassee composed entirely of tbe "nolx," or small pieces nt each side of tbo back, faken from thirteen kinds of birds, among them being 100 snipe, 40 woodcocks and 20 pheasants In all about 300 birds. Cold Baths, A few years ago the remarkable dis covery was made by Profesor Winter nltz of Vienna that general cold baths have the effect of Increasing the num ber of active cells In the blood to n very remarkable extent, the increaso sometimes amounting to one-fifth or even more. This Is one of the ways iu which the cold bath Increases the re sisting power of tbe body, and rallies tbe blood cells, so to speak, calling them out from their hiding places and prepnriug tbem to flgbt with vigor tho battles which must bo waged every moment In defense of tbo body. Good Health. Barrister's Fees. Tho banister's fees are Irrecoveruble In law, but be can pick and choose his customers nud can also Insist on ensb In advance. Until recently every bar rister bad on his tnble a gentle re minder In the way of a fee bowl. In earlier times the client used to drop surreptitiously the money In a little hag at tbe hack of counsel's gown. A trace of this receptacle still figures III legal costume. I.oudou Chronicle.

The Legion of Honor, is a French or der for the recognition of military and civil merit, Instituted by Napoleon while consul May 19, 1802, and inaugu rated July 14, 1804. The decoration originally consisted of a star contain ing the portrait of Napoleon surround ed by a wreath of oak and laurel, with the ligcid. "Napoleon Empereur des Franc als;" on the reverse was the French ciglo with a thunderbolt In his talons and the legend. "Houneur et Patrle." Tbe order has been remodeled sev eral times, the last occasion being sub sequent to tbe downfall of the second empire. There are now live ranks or classes ordinary chevaliers or knights, officers, commanders, grand officers, grand crosses. Tbe profuse granting of the decoration of the order latterly brought the Institution into discredit, and the number of chevaliers is now restricted to 25.000. tbe officers to 4,000, the commanders to 1,000, the grand officers to 200 and the grand crosses td seventy. The star now bears a figure emblem atic of the republic, with the inscrip tion, "Republlquo Franchise, 1870;" on tbe reverse two dags, with the inscrip tion, "Honneur et Patrick-Philadelphia Press. USE OF OLIVE OIL. Reasons Why It Should Hav More Prominence In Cooking. Americnus are not, generally speak ing, liberal enough In the use of olive OIL It should occupy a more prominent place In cooking. - ' Any olive oil left In tbe pan after frying can be filtered through cheese cloth and kept In a cool place for future use. Olive oil can bo used re peatedly. It should be hot before the article to be fried is placed In tbe pan. Olive oil Is capable of having the temperature raised to over GOO degrees before It burns. Butter burns nt a little over 200, suet at about 300 and lard nt 235. It will be scon that butter Is a poor frying medium, us food must be kept at too low a temperature or It scorches, while with oil the high degree quickly coats the outside of the artiefe with a crust that prevents the oil from penetrating. Rub the preserving kettle with olive oil to prevent fruit from burning. Use olive oil In recipes when possi ble where butter Is called for. It Is especially delicious In soft gingerbread, salad dressing and baked beans. New York Run..-' .." - . To the Public. . .
