If such is its purpose, we should not have gone to war.

If such is Am eri ca’s purpose, what more have we to offer the world than China with its great wall o f isolation?

OLD BELIEF CALLED SILLY Idea, Long Held, That Pearls Decay if Not Worn Is Ridiculed by Expert. Pearls abound in romance, and ro mance abounds in fiction. This fact was strikingly brought to light by a full page advertisement of Hurcomb’s, a London auctioneer who does a large business among the. British nobility, published recently iip, the London Times. Hurcomb chats familiarly with his prospective customers about fact and fiction in the business of buying and selling jewels and plate. . This paragraph he quotes from a weekly paper which “has the largest circula tion of any religious newspaper in the world “ Some family . heirlooms of great historic value had to be inspected. A visit was paid by the solicitors to a bank, where various tin boxes were deposited in a strong room. One of these tin boxes contained a lovely pearl necklace. On being opened, however, it was found that after many years the pearls were discol ored, and in some cases had crum bled to dust A specialist said if they had been occasionally brought to the light and had been worn, they would have been in as good a condition as when they were deposited in the strong room of the bank. What a les son it conveys of the folly and error of hoarding, our possessions ! God wa.nts us not to bury our talents any more than our treasures., They will sink Into atrophy by non-use.” Hurcomb comments that “the ed itors should have exercised more care than to Insert such utter rub bish.” “Being a specialist,” he says, “I re peat that the statement is" all rubbish, every bit of it, although I agree with the application.” Books That Profit. There are hundreds of books, each one of which, if reall read, really as similated by the person to whom it happens to appeal, will enable that person quite unconsciously to furnish himself with ammunition which he will find of use in the battle of life,—Roose velt. Indians Fond of Corn. ; The early Indians grew flint corn for hominy and flour corn for bread and soups. They invented “succo- tash” composed of maize and beans, with butter and salt added. We owe to them all of our best recipes for the preparation of ; corn, not excepting “hoecake” and cornbreads. Com remains today what it was be- fore Columbus landed, the great Amer: ican food crop. One year’s crop of maize, loaded on, wagons in single file and allowing 20 feet to each wagon, would make a line long enough to en circle the globe nine and a half times. Ventriloquists. Ventriloquism is the art of produc ing (ones and words without any mo tion of the lips, so that the hearer of ten refers the sound to some other place. The ventriloquist uses no in strument, nor does the art depend upon any peculiar structure of the or gans of the voice, but upon dexterity. The name is founded upon the mis taken supposition that the voice pro ceeds from the stomach. The art of thg ventriloquist consists mainly in taking deep inhalations of breath, and then allowing it to escape slowly, the sounds of the voice being modified by the muscles of the throat ancT palate. Ventriloquism is a very old art and was known to the ancient Greeks as well as to the Romans. The Greeks ascribed it to the "operations o f de mons; and ' called ventrilokuists “Em gastrimanteis” (belly-prophets). Theodore Roosevelt, who afterward, in writing the history of the regiment, said that for one reason or another the public christened it the “Rough Rid ers.” At first lie and his men fought against the use of the term, but to no purpose, and when generals of divi sion and brigade commanders began to write it so in formal , communications, the regiment adopted the name also. 0 I -C E 1 OREGON II I# Give The Cow Plenty of eur feed and you’ ll get plenty of good rich milk in the pail.
