CHRISTMAS
STOBV INTERESTING
Picked As Almost 100 Per Cent Perfect
Idea Originated in Den
mark Years Ago Does
Wonders in U. S.
More full of dramatic interest than
the chapters of a novel, is the history
of the little Christmas Seal now on
sale throughout the state of Oregon.
Conceived by a Danish postal clerk,
to raise money that would suva the
lives of children suffering from tuber
culoids; wandering across the Atlan
tic, falling into the hands of a t'reut
American writer; bein recreated on
American soil, and sold to maintain
another tuberculosis hospital; becom
ing the sole financial support of a
great organization dedicated to a
Health campaign steadily and surely
overcoming the "white plague," are
leading events in the life history of
the Christmas Seal,
Mr. Einar Holboell, postal clerk In
far off Denmark, busy cancelling
stamps and handling packages during
the Christmas season of 1903, had on
his heart the problem of raising
money to support a little hospital for
poor children stricken with tubercu
losis. In the midst of his work, he
conceived the idea of selling a seal
somewhat like the stamps he was so
busy cancelling. Mr. Holboell sub
mitted his plan to the king, received
the royal sanction and the new seal
was printed, sold, and fulfilled its
mission. The children of the poor re
ceived the care they needed, at the
little hospital.
Several years later, one of the
Danish seals fell into the hands of
Jacob Riis, the American writer and
publicist. ' He was immediately in
terested, wrote to a friend across the
ocean, obtained the story behind the
seal snd publsihed it in the "Outlook"
In 1907.
This story In turn stirred to action
an American woman, MiBs Emily Bis
sel, who like the Dirnish Postal Clerk,
was struggling with the financial
problem of a little tuberculosis sani
torium near Wilmington, Delaware.
Miss Bissel managed the first Ameri
can Christmas Seal Sale in 1907, rail
ing $3,000 for the needy hospital, a
sum far beyond her expectations.
From the three thousand dollar Seal
Sale in 1907 to the four and a half
million dollar sale ni 1924, the story
of the Christmas Seal has been one of
magnificent accomplishment against
the foe tuberculosis. Between 1908
and 1919 the American Red Cross put
its shoulder to the wheel and backed
the Seal Sale, hence the term "Red
Cross Seals" which still lingers al
though rmvt six years out of date
The right name is CHRISTMAS
SEALS or tuberculosis Christmas
Seals, for since 1918 the National Tu
berculosis Association, and branches,
state and local, have been selling the
seals, and depending on .them for
their entire support. The Oregon sale
is conducted by the Oregon Tubercu
losis Association and the County
Health Associations.
Since the time of the first Seal Sale
many millions of dollars have been
Invested in tuberculosis ) fighting
equipment; hospitals, clinics, open air
schools dispensaries, tuberculosi
nursing, etc., and it has been lnrgely
through the interest focused on the
problem by the annual sale of Christ
mas Seals. The tuberculosis death
rate in the United States has been
considerably more than cuit in half
in these eighteen years. The disease
is being conquered. The winning alo-
inn is Health! Healthl Health! such
fine radiant health that it repels sick
ness, and Christmas Seals are in' the
field in Oregon, and in every state in
the Union, to continue the fight to
winning finish.

Friar Bacon's Brazen
Head h Old Legend
According to a legend prevalent
In the Middle ages, Roger Uucon
(1214-1292) spent seven years con
structing a brazen head, which lie
fancied would tell hlra how to sur
round the Island of Great Britain
with a wall of brass. This head
was to speuk within a month after
its completion, but no special hour
was set for so doing. Bacon, accord
ingly, set his servant to watch, spe
cially enjoining him to notify
his master In case the head should
speak. At the end of the first half
hour the servant heard the head
exclaim : "Time Is" ; at the end of
the second half hour, "Time was,"
and at the end of the third half
hour, "Time's past" ; whereupon It
fell with a loud crash and was shat
tered to pieces. The servant neglect
ed to call Bacon, thinking he would
not care to be disturbed by such a
trifle, and thus the knowledge nec
essary to build the brazen wall was
never acquired.
This belief In the existence of a
talking brazen head was widely
spread In the Middle ages. Gerbert,
French churchman, is snld to
have made such a head; and Al
bertus Magnus is alleged to have
constructed an entire man of brass.

Why He Did Not Fight
White, who was small and puny,
had offended Brown, who was a
powerful fellow six feet in height,
and who had, In consequence, de
clared that he would thrash White
whenever he met hlra.
Some time later an unkind fate
threw them together and, true to
his promise, the big man gave poor
White such a blow on the face as
almost to knock him down.

exclaimed:

Simple "Cradle" Used
in Placer M ining
In mining "placer" Is a place
where deposits of precious metal,
usually gold, are found near the
surface, often In the gravel of river
or creek beds. The mineral Is ob
tained by washing the gravel or
pay dirt; that Is, separating the
gold dust from the gravel and earth
with which It is mixed. This kind
of mining called placer mining,
and it is in this kind of mining that
the miner's cradle Is used. The
cradle is a simple appliance for
treating "pay dirt," earth and
gravel containing gold dust. It con
sists essentially of a box mounted
on rockers and provided with a per
forated bottom of sheet iron In
which the "pay dirt" is placed. Wa
ter Is poured on the dirt and the
rocking motion Imparted to the
cradle causes the finer particles to
pass through the perforated bottom
on a canvas screen, and thence to
the base of the cradle, where the
gold dust accumulates on trans
verse bars of wood called "riffles."

the bishop of Llandaff, being In Lon-

thus discover the reason of their
non arrival and of the painter's si
lence. But the mold who opened
the door there at once Informed him
that Rossettl was absent, and on
hearing what the bishop had come

Two young lawyers, both tiring

other In argument. Both spoke at
great length, and In closing the sec
ond speaker remarked that he was
sorry to find his colleague on the
wrong side, for there was every rea
son why they should agree. "We
were brought up together, we stud
led together, and we were born on
the same day."
"Did I understand you to say that
you were born on the same dayl"
asked the Judge.
"Yes," came the prompt reply.
"On the very same day?"
"Yes, sir."
Then It must have been a windy

Imaginary Land
The name "Hyperboreans" was
given by the ancients to an imagi
nary people, favorites of Apollo, who
lived beyond Boreas, or the North
Wind. Virgil placed them under
the North pole. This favored race
dwelt in a terrestrial paradise un
der a cloudless sky,, and enjoyed a
fruitful land, unending peace, nnd
perpetual youth and health. The
Hyperboreans were said to live In
an atmosphere coniKsed entirely
of feathers. Herodotus afid Pliny
both refer to this fiction, but say It
was suggested by the amount of
snow that fell In those northern re
gions. The word "Hyperboreans"
has been used by anthropologists to
designate certain people that dwell
In the northeast of Asia and
the northwest of America, and that
cannot be classified either n Mon
golians or as North American In
dians. Exchange.

Fanciful Ideas About
Lost Tribes of Israel
The kingdom of Israel, estab
lished by the ten northern tribes,
lasted until Samaria was over
thrown by Sargon of Assyria in T22
B. 0. At that time 27,000 people
wet i taken to different parts of the
Assyrian empire. There are many
theories as to what became of the
lost ten tribes. 8lnce Jewish raon
. umonts were found In China some
writers trnced them to that land;
others 'traced them to India. An
other theory had It that the Anglo
Saxons were their descendants. The
general consensus of scientific opin
ion Is that the tribes became ab
sorbed In neighboring nations snd
thus were not really lost.
Another writer says: "The search
for the lost ten tribes has been oc
casioned by the false conception
that the entire population was car
ried away nnd yet maintained Its
ethnlo peculiarities, snd has been
encouraged by fanciful combina
tion! that lack all sclent lflc value."
