HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1908 hoes, Shoes, Shoes We have purchased at Bankrupt Sale a $2,000 j stock of i Men's, Women's and Children's Shoes ' and as we were fortunate enough to secure these goods at about Fifty Cents on the Dollar we are in a position to meet any and all competition. Most of these shoes are Of the well known SMI H, WALACE & CO. make, a line that has been sold in this town for the past ten years, and is well and favorably known.

Have you ever thought of the dla tttpct you travel wbeu you are out op lit hucr't stroll? Possibly you wsJ three miles within the hour, hut tliat doe not by any means represent ti distance you travel. The enrtb turn on Its axis every tweuty-four bourn. For the sake of round figures, we wM call the earth's clrcuniference 24,01)0 miles, and so you must have traveled during the hour's stroll 1,000 miles In the axial turn of the earth. But this la not all. The earth makes Journey around the sun every year, and a long but rapid trip It Is. The dis tance of our planet from the sun we will put at 02,000,000 miles. This Is the radius of the earth's orbit half the diameter of the circle, as we call It The whole diameter la therefore 184 000,000 miles, and the circumference, being the diameter multiplied by 8.1416, Is about 678,000,000. This amazing distance the earth trar els In Its yearly Journey, and dividing It by SUA we And the dully speed about 1,680,000. Then we get the distance you rode around the sun during your hour's walk, divide again by twenty' four,; and the result Is about 00,000 mll. Hut this Is not the end of your hour's trip. , The sun, with Its entire brood of planets, Is moving In space at the rate of 100,000,000 miles In a year. That Is at the rate of a little more than 4.'18,000 miles a day, or 18,250 miles an hour. Bo, adding your three miles of leg travel to the hour's axial movement of the earth, this to the earth's orbital Journey and that again to the earth's excursion with the sun, and you find you have traveled In the hour 83,233 miles. . CRUDE HOUSEKEEPING. aeeUe Methods la England la taa Fourteenth Century. Carpets wore unknown luxuries, in EngUnd In the fourteenth century, but the fashion of strewing the apartments with rushes was being gradually aban doned. Bushes were still used In the retainers' ball, but for the better rooms weet scented herbs and fragrant twigs were usually employed., Windows were apertures filled with glass so as to admit light, but to ex clude wind. The walls also were fre quently bung with cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates of the room from the many currents of air that pene trated the strong but badly built walls. We learn from various ancient docu ments that It was the duty of the serv ing men and page to sweep out the principal apartmeuts, but as the use of water Is rarely mentioned dam? and fragrant leaves and twigs must have hided not only in collecting the dust, but also toward refreshing the atmosphere In such constantly closed rooms, fresh air being only admitted through the doors opening on to the battlements or balconies. From old Inventories at TburleJgh and elsewhere we ascertain how scan tily furnished were these ancient man sions, although they seem to have been abundantly supplied with flagons end drinking cups In gold, silver and finely engraved pewter, besides an Infinite number of black Jacks or cups made of leatherLondon Standard. Otni aad Dlmu. Many curious stories of the healing of blindness and diseases by gems are to be found In ancient works, and it Is aid that the Emperor Tiieodoslus was cured of blindness by a stone of gnrat brilliancy which was laid on his eyes. What this stone was history unfortu nately does not say. The diamond, ruby, emerald and opal were supposed to warn the owuer of danger by chang ing color, rilny says of the diamond that It la not only an antidote to poi son, but that it has the power to fnee the mind from vain fears and to gtve bravery. Worn In the ephod of the high priest it determined Innocence or guilt and was used to detect accused persons. This gem Is dedicated to April, and, worn by those born In that month, Is lucky. Myerson's Magazine, That Is Fleatr of Coal. Every now and then some statistician with too much liver utters figures show ing that the world's coal supply will lost only a few hundreds of years. Make It many, many thousands. China has coal to burn 400,000 square miles of coal fields, some say. Japan has plenty more. Kountaula hus enough for the Balkan states if ever they stop burning powder and one another's houses. America's bin will be full for centuries on centuries. Great Britain and Germany will not be coal less soon. Let OS worry about something elne, . Everybody's Magazine. "Acre" once meant any Md. It is still used with thftf significance by the Germans, who apeak of God's acre, al luding to foe ciietery. CLOSING PEKING'S GATES, , Volar Ceremony Performed Dally at .' ''the Chinese Capital, , ., The closing of (he gates In Peking Just because It goes on dally and may apparently go on dally for centuries to come Ih prblmbly one of the "sights" leuHt wltni'HHccl and talked of save by those foreigners who may have cbanc ed to "run for It" near cloning time. The dally performance Is marked with due ceremony which is iinlnt and full of. Interest to tho Intelligent 01 looker, as the closing by no nieuui signifies the more bringing together of the heavy Wooden doors and barring the emperor's highway against all comers. At the appointed hour a preliminary Signal Is given by a liirifo gong or iron shield being struck with n big Iron bar fifty times in such quick succession at almost to defy calculation. This it followed by a signal of loo blows re pented In precisely the same fashion three times. When the third aud lasi cycle of gong strokes la entered on number of old urn I at this season very much bewadded and uiullled up old "Chnrlles" start a series of discordant yells to all and sundry to "hasten" ot they will be shut out. This comblna' tlou of signals Is followed by a Jos tling stream of people In both direc tions. Presently the rush slackens until only a solitary pedestrian or possibly a man on a donkey, full tilt, n beluted rickshaw or a heavily laden cart strug gles through. Then a movement is mnde with the gates, yelling bursts oul afresh and another rush ensues, the gates being meanwhile half closed and occasionally opened a little way ngaln until, tho outgoers having meanwhile ceased, there Is a final serlmmago to get Into the city, and the process of closing, which has taken some half hour In all, is concluded. The huge iron plated doors having clanged to, a monster Iron pole la drag ged tip and placed across them on Iron supports, being retained In position by a padlock of enormous proportions and of the well known Chinese type. Thero are in nil nineteen gates, and the same ceremony Ih observed at each, but at such thoroughfares as the Ilnta mcn thero Is naturally more traffic, and the process Is probably proportion ately longer. reklng Times. CZAR PAUL'S WIG. Aa Officer Tweaked II and Won a Bet and Promotion. Paul, the eccentric czar of nusslo assassinated In 1801, was very particu lar as to bis dress aud considered trl- Qiug mutters as of supreme Impor tance. This peculiarity wis once taken advantage of by an Olllcer of the guards, Major Vaksel, to win a bet The major, tho wildest Joker in the ar my, wagered several hundred rublei that he would tweak the tall of the em peror's wig on parade. The very next day tho emperor hap peued to le present at an early parade and, as destiny ruled It, took a posi tion for u moment immediately In front of the darlug major. Breathless with excitement and terror, Vaksel's com paulons beheld that rash otllcer's right hand steal slowly 'from his side, rlst to the level of the czar's neck and give the wig's banging tall a most da elded tweak, In an instant the emperor's face, pule with fury, was turned upon Vak eel's countenance., -which, however, only rellocted an expression ot child like Innocence, mingled with the most deferential astonishment. "Who dared to do that?" asked tin enraged czar, his eyes giving flushing evidence that his uio.! dangerous mood was upon him. I did, your mnJo.ty," said Vnksel who, however his heart may have, flut tered, managed to preserve outwardly an uuruitled calm, together with an ex presslon of innocent surprise. "It wai crooked, your majesty," he added, In a confidential undertone. "I straighten ed It for fear the younger otUoeri should see." I'aul's countenance cleared at once. lie stared fixedly, however, at Vak sel's Innocent looking face for some seconds. Vaksel admitted afterward that this was the trying moment, and be had snld to himself, "If I wavet I'm lost!" Then the czar -;:,Ue, and spoke so that all might hear. "I thank you, colonel." he said. If ever n idep in rank was gained by the pint t effrontery It was so acquir ed on this occasion, and Vaksel left the field, not only promoted to a covet ed position In the guards, but richer by many hundred rubles as the result of bis wager, Teanyaon'a Predlettoa. Tennyson predicted the day of his death. Jtist a year before his death friends of the poet were visiting Aid worth House. The late Lord Sol borne turned to Tennyson and remarked, You ought to be happy here." "Ah," sighed the poet, "I have only a year to llvef) His hearers laughed at the remark, but It was a prophetic asset tht wnlr' verified to the minute., THE LUNGS ARE LIFE; Aa Odd Little Ee.ay oa the Sabjeet ol Breadline. Everything on, In and under the earth breathes animals, minerals, vegeta bles, etc. The tides are caused by the breathing of the earth Itself. Tills old globe must take two long breaths r. day, each Inspiration requiring six hours and each expiration the same period of time. If Mother Earth did not breathe she would tu all probabili ty "bust" and blow up. When she breathes too hard, as If In a panic, or because of some geological excitement, she cracks the ground and we have the earthquake. Her ordinary respiratory mpvemeut merely expands aud con tracts the water volume. Hlngularly enough, air Is the most im portant element provided by nature. A man can live forty-five days without I food, several ibiva without wafer nn1 I about three or four minutes without air. Take away his lungs, as by pneu monia, and death Is as certain as sin. Does the heart beat make tho circula tion of the blood or does the circula tion niuke the heart beat? What causes breathing? Does breathing make the heart beat? Does breathing make the circulation? Important, vi tally Important, are these questions.
