HAPPENINGS IN
56
- Hobo ft Itunian Ostrich.
Marshfleld In order to satisfy a
crarinc; for drink, Frank Durga, a
tramp, ha a been amusing the fre
quentera of saloons by eating glass
and swallowing small articles when
Ma audience would glre him a glass
of whiskey. He fa now psylng the
score for his unnatural trick and the
surgical operation to which he sub
mitted at Mercey Hospital, In North
Bend, resulted In a discovery which
the local physicians say surpasses
anything they ever saw or heard of.
The man was sick and it was decided
that some foreign substance had
lodged in his stomach. Physicians
opened the man's stomach and after
several hours' work removed the fol
lowing collection of articles: Three
Jack knives, one end of knife handle,
three door keys, one mall key, three
five-cent pieces, 15 cYjies, one end of
metal fishing rod, ffc- large loaded
rifle shells, three small shells, 17
horseshoe nails, one fish hook, two
finishing nails, one shingle nail, one
eight-penny nail, 173 pieces of glass,
some of which were lanper than the
Anger nail.
Some of the glass had penetrated
the membrane of the stomach and
the most delicate dissection was nec
essary for its removal. The man is
apparently getting along very weil
and unless some unexpected compli
cations arlBO he will get well. Soon
after the operation he said he was
hungry and asked for substantial
food, the light fare usually given the
hospital patients not satisfying him.
Court Declares Tax Law Invalid.
McMlnnville That the law pre
scribing the apportionment of state
taxes conflicts with the Oregon con
stitution and Is therefore Invalid Is
the gist of a decision rendered in the
Circuit Court here last week In the
circuit court by Judge Galloway.
The case at hand was the suit
brought by Yamhill county to pre
vent payment of alleged excessive
taxes to the state treasurer. The
suit read, "County of Yamhill vs.
County Treasurer Foster and State
Treasurer Steel," wherein the form
er is enjoined from paying and the
latter from collecting the sum of
$22,482 excessive state tax for 1907,
alleged to have been wrongfully and
arbitrarily apportioned to'this county
by the state board.
The state law which Judge Gallo
way has held unconstitutional re
quires each county to pay a specified
proportion of the total tax. The pro
portion which each county must pay
was fixed by the act of 1901 and was
determined by taking an average of
the assessments of each of the coun
ties for a period of five years prior
thereto, it was originally intended
that this plan should remain In oper
ation for five years only and that
thereafter each county should pay
Btate taxes In proportion to its coun
ty expenditures, but subsequent leg
ls'lve sessions postponed until 1912
the time when the new system of ap
portionment would go into effect.

SELECTED AT ItAMHIM.
Kid Kims.
These bags will get back of wall ps
per, and no difference bow much on
may clean a room tbey will get Into
the furniture. It takes heroic meas
ures to get rid of them. Often the pa
per around the doors and windows will
be the haunts of these pests. The best
way to do is to repaper the house, first
washing the walls with a solution of
crude carbolic acid in water. Carbolic
acid mixed with turpentine and spray
ed through an atomizer will destroy
the bugs. Corrosive sublimate, a dead
ly poison, can be poured into an old
tin cup and the springs and bed rail
ings scrubbed with a small paint brush
dipped into the fluid. Wear heavy kid
gloves or rubber ones when working
with this deadly poison and do not
leave It where the children can reach
It. Iron beds can be scalded, and so
can the springs. A lighted taper or
candle will kill eggs In small crevices
and drive out the bugs where It la im
possible to reach them. The hardest
beds to clean are folding, beds and
couches. The latter should be taken
into the yard and saturated with gaso
line. It soon evaporates. All bed
clothing should be thoroughly washed,
for they are often the means of keep
lug pests In the house, as eggs are
hatched In some of the folds and can
not be seen. Old husk mattresses are
certain to be filled with eggs and bugs,
so a bonfire for the filling Is the only
sure result of killing them In the mat
tress. Wash the cover and fill with
new busks or clean' straw.
Girls who desire to make a good Im
pression, who desire men to respect
and admire, must pay attention to
the smallest details. Carefully mended
gloves, tidy shoe laces, scrupulously
clean lace even If It bears evidence
of mending are all indicative of neat
ness and self respect. A girl who
looks after her personal appearance
will see that the home is scrupulously
tidy and orderly.
There Is an old proverb that "ifa
bad to be poor, but It's doubly bad to
look poor." The girl who is tidy and
neat In the little details of her dress
will not show the empty state of her
purse nearly so much as she who al
lows her clothes to become draggled
and unkempt, and the tidy girl will
certainly be far more likely to meet
a good and worthy man, whose hon
est, strong hands will labor for her.
"Well," said the cheerful wife, who
thought she had a soprano voice, "if
the worst comes to the worst I could
keep the wolf from the door by sing
ing." "I don't doubt that would do It," re
plied her pessimistic husband, "but
suppose the wolf should happen to be
deaf?"
Water which has been purified by
boiling should be placed Instantly In
bottles and sealed. When cool the bot
tles should be placed on lee. None but
the manufactured hygienic Ice should
be placed directly In drinking water.
Prunes should be started very slow
ly for some two and a half hours; then
add a little sugar nnd allow them to
cook for half an hour loi$er.
A tittle milk added to the water In.
which silver Is washed will help to
keep It bright

Mussulman Law Against Painting.
"Do you paint?" I asked, going; to
ward the eawl, disguising my sur
prise at meeting with such disregard
of Mussulman customs In this ortho
dox household.
"No, not painting, just playing. It
Is only an Impression, not a reproduc
tion, of one of Allah's realities." Good
Mussulmans do not believe In "repro
ducing Allah's realities," yet there
stood on the easel a charming pastel.
Even orthodox Moslems I saw were
not above beating the devil round the
stump.
"How very beautifulT' I exclaimed.
"Alahe Hanum, yon are an artist."
"Pray, pray, young Hanum," she
protested, a little frightened, I
tnougfat; "pray do not say such things.
I am not an artist I only play with
the colors."
"Let me see some more of your
playing," I persisted.
Rather reluctantly, though wishing
to comply with her guest's desires
he brought out s large portfolio con
taining several pastels and water col
ors, and we sat down on a rug to
examine them. Whether they were
well done or not I cannot tell, but
they were full of life and happiness.
The curious pnrt was that whenever
she painted any outdoor life she paint
ed It from her window, and on the
canvas first was the window and then
through It yon saw the landscape as
she saw It Demetra Vaka Brows to

Engineer Everett J. Barry, of the
