SUPPLEMENT TO THE HERMISTON HERALD
«Kult OF LIFE AT HARVARD
HOW “OLD ORDER CHANGETH”
Author Now Forgotten Conceded to
Have Been the First to Depict
Undergraduate Days.
British Miner No Longer the Grimy
Individual He Has Been So
Frequently Pictured.
Harvard graduates, the world over
have long believed that the earliest
pictorial record of undergraduate life
at the oldest college In the United
States was made when F. G. Attwood
drew his pictures of college life for
the first volume of the Harvard Lam-
poon.
The Lampoon was the fore-
runner of humorous journalism to
America ; Attwood became a famous
humorist ; and his "Manners & Cus­
toms of re Harvard Studente" was es­
tablished ns a classic. The discovery
of a time-stained book in a New Eng-
land farmhouse reveals an earlier
draftsman, whose "College Scenes"
antedate “Ye Harvard Studente” by
about a quarter of a century, but were
soon generally forgotten. Of N. Hay-
ward, the artist, no record remains
but the hare fact that he was then in
college. The discoverer, however, had
a rare afternoon when he found the
volume in a dusty ehest, where it had
been packed away with a lot of con-
temporary textbooks and an old Har­
vard diploma.—Christian Science Mon-
Itor.
A new type of miner is being
evolved at Atherton,
Lancashire,
j through the growing popularity of the
I baths at Messrs. Fletcher, Burrows
i and company's collieries. At first only
| 10 per cent of the men used them ;
| now the figure Is 50 per cent. The
I miner now goes to work In tweeds and
| brown boots instead of his oldest
clothes and clogs. He no longer be
| smirches the seats of tramways and
| railway carriages with the grime of his
: calling. Nor does he drive his wife
i to despair with the amount of work he
| brings into the bouse each day. He
goes home spruce and well groomed
with no signs of the weariness so
characteristic of the men “coming up.”
"All the young men use the baths,"
said the keeper of the bathhouse.
"Some of the older men don’t.”
“They are learning sense," volun­
teered an old miner. “And I wonder
the women didn’t teach It to some of
them a bit sooner.
"Convenience !” His eyes twinkled.
“Why, man. if I wanted to Jazz I
could bring my dress clothes here and
bo ready for the ball twenty minutes
after I got out of the cage. No, I’m
not going to start Jazzing—not at my
time of life. But I might be go’ng to a
directors' banquet one of these da's.
You never know in these times.” Fif
teen minutes suffice for a miner’s hath.
Men in a hurry take a little less, dan­
dles a little more. They find their
own soap ami towels.— London Times
Historic Strasbourg.
In establishing the administration
of the restored provinces of Alsace
l orraine in the city of Strasbourg, the
people of France have regained a rich­
ly historic ground, says the Boston
Transcript, Its cathedral, whose build­
ing engaged the services of famous
architects and decorators for the pe­
riod of four centuries before reaching
the completion in which it stands to-
day, is one of the marvels of the world.
Its great university hns a library of a
million volumes and before the war
Its students numbered more than 2,-
000.
These are the local glories, hut a
universal fame hns been gained by
the produets of its more intimate
talent. Thus, Alsatian wine has had
world-wide recognition since the mid­
dle ages ; Strasbourg beer was known
before America was discovered, ami as
for that delicacy so prized by the fas­
tidious taste of gourmands, the pate
de fols gras, the name of Strasbourg
Is the certificate of extreme excellence.
Improved Oil-Burner.
A new oil-burner for the kitchen
stove, announced from Cairo, Egypt, Is
attachable by a special flange to the
grate door, and it neither requires
alteration of the solid fuel stove nor
prevents the use of solid fuel.
The
nozzle projects about an Inch Into the
grate, the oil tank being mounted on
a suitable rack outside the stove.
A
small fire heats the fuel oil to about
180 degrees Fahrenheit, and as the oil
passes from the nozzle, a jet of com-
pressed air or steam converts It into a
spray that burns with n continuous
smokeless and odorless tin me. In Cai-
ro. it Is noted, compressed air is sup­
plied In pipes to houses.
They Wouldn’t Sult Her.
Mary Pickford was talking about
the new French fashions.
"The French," she said, “are trying
to bring the long skirt back again."
She frowned slightly. Then, as she
glanced down at her little shoe, her
brow cleared.
“There's no doubt,” she said, "that
long skirts would suit some girls down
to the ground.”
The local office of the Pendleton
Troy Laundry has been moved from
the Rest Room to Wm. Shaars' barber
shop.

MAN WHO DOESN’T GROW UP
Just What Is Wrong With Individual
Who Fails to “Keep Up With
the Procession."
Insufficient occupation and the con­
sciousness of not being of much use
nearly always explain the man who
does not grow up. There may have
been a period in his life when he was
an admired ornament of society, when
his ch verness was applauded, when
his violent assertions and rash criti­
cisms and absurd resentments were
listened to as the outpourings of an
interesting and awakening mind and
were valued perhaps for some facility
In utterance; but the mind has not ma­
tured, perhaps because it never was
forced to grapple with anything vital,
and the facility in utterance that was
a charm in youth has dwindled with
years to peevish fluency In objection,
censure and condemnation. The man
who nt twenty-five is still a dabbler,
with a faculty for raising a laugh by
his trenchant disparagements of the
achievements of grown men, is likely
nt sixty to be complaining of the cook­
ing and the weather, the high prices
and the policy of the administration—
or living only for the purpose of ex­
pressing his discontent with the uni­
verse. "
.
A man needs time in which to grow
up, but if he does not fertilize time
with work he will be only the weed of
a man.—Youth's Companion.
"Key Money.”
In many districts of England, and
particularly in Yorkshire, where the
dearth of houses Is acute, the practice
of paying “key money” is growing. So
keen are prospective tenants to get
into a house directly It is vacant that
as much as $50 to $100 is offered to
the occupier for the key. this transac­
tion generally carrying with it the un­
derstanding that the landlord will ac­
cept the succeeding tenant.
