Btrlctly speaking, “atlas" is a mis­ nomer for a map book. since it was not the world, but the heavens, that the “atlas” of mythology upheld. Mer­ cator, the famous Dutch geographer, who made globes for Emperor Charles V. of Germany, was the first to use the name in this connection, choosing it as a convenient and in some sort an appropriate title, because Atlas, the demigod, figures with u world upon bis shoulders as a frontispiece of some early works on geography. Atlas, it was said, made war with other Titans upon Zeus and, being conquered, was condemned to bear heaven upon bis head and bands. Lat­ er tradition represented him as a man changed by means of Medusa's bead Into a mountain, upon which rested heaven and all its stars. In any case, Atlas was always asso­ ciated with a heavy burden strongly borne. Thus Shakespeare makes War­ wick say to Gloucester: Thou art no Atlas for so great a weight. It is not difficult to see bow by association of ideas this came to chosen as the name for a book maps which upholds and exhibits us the whole world. an be of to Marshal Tureen and His Soup. There is a quaint old shop in Loudon which still bears the name of Samuel Birch, the first purveyor of turtle soup in the English capital. Amid all the changes of the city Birch's shop in Cornhill survives in the guise it wore when its owner was lord mayor of London in the memorable year of Wa­ terloo. Samuel Birch achieved distinc­ tion in many fields. He was an orator and a patriot; he was colonel of the city militia and accepted with great good nature bis nickname of Marshal Tureen; he was a mau of letters, pro­ duced plays that held the stage and books that were readable, though now seldom read. One of his plays, “The Adopted Child,” was popular long aft­ er its author bad killed his last turtle. His daughter married Lamartine, and one of bls sous, a flue classical scholar, begat a family of scholars. Yet Birch’s claim to fame rests most upon the fact that be was the man who made turtle soup popular. City merchants, templars from the inns and dandles from the west end all flocked to Corn­ bill, the turtle house of all London.— Argonaut. Reign of the Dandies. In the matter of dress we have fallen upon a decline since the days when the Duke of Wellington was refused ad­ mission to Almack's because be was wearing trousers Instead of breeches and silk stockings. Even Almack’s, however, had to admit trousers within its closely guarded portals the following year. When Gladstone was “up” at Oxford the reign of the dandles was In full swing. When late in life he re­ visited the university to lecture to the undergraduates on Homer he was asked by G. W. E. Russell whether he noticed any difference between bls au­ dience and the men of bis own time. “Yes,” he replied, “in their dress an enormous change.

I remember one occasion, writes Colonel William II. Crook in the Phi» adelpbla Saturday Evening Post, wbeu Mrs. Harrison bad finally decided u;>oii some slight architectural changes and had brought her architect’s plans to the president and asked his opinion of them. General Harrison studied the drawings with care and noticed that several niches were left, each plainly marked. At last be said: "Well, my dear, here is a place for Lincoln, and here is a place fur Grant’s bust. And you have left three places for Vest." Then be add ed, with well assumed indignation, “I am decidedly opposed to so many monuments to Vest—In tbe White House!" Mrs. Harrison hastened to explain— what iter husband, of course, knew all the time—that the word “Vest.” was the architect’s contraction for vesti­ bule, of which there were three on tbe plans, whereupon the president said he was satisfied and banded the draw­ ings back to her. with a twinkle in his keen blue eyes. A FIERCE ANATHEMA. The Pious Wish ■ Woman Flung at Jean Paul Richter. Jean Paul Richter once observed that if a lady officer wanted to gtve tbe word “Halt!" she would do It in the following strain: “You soldiers, all of you, now mind what I say. I order you as soon as I have done speaking to stand still, every one of you. on tbe spot where you happen to be. Don’t you hear me? Halt, I say, all of you!” Upon this a strong minded woman made the following comment: “Now, M. Jean. It was an unlucky day on which you wrote that sentence. May you never bear anything but that lit­ tle, concise word ‘No’ from every rosy pair of lips you meet. May you halt wifeless through life. May your but tons be snappish, your strings knotty and your stockings full of holes. May your bootjack be missing, your feet corny aud your shaving water cohl. your razor dull, your hair stand up. your collar He down. May your beard be porcuplny, your whiskers thinly settled and your mustache curl tbe wrong way. May your coffee be mud­ dy, your toast smoky and your tea water bewitched, and. with a never dying desire for affection, may you crawl through creation a meek, miser­ able. nasty, forlorn, fidgety, fussy, ri­ diculous, ruined, dejected old bachelor.” High Sounding Names. Writing In his Paris paper on the growing custom on tbe part of parents to give thetr children ‘‘high sounding” names, Clement Vautel says: “When tbe boj' is old enough to understand he rebels at being compelled to carry through life a name like Anacreon or Hipparchus. But he has company. I know a deputy whose parents named him Franklin. Tbe name In Itself Is not so bad, but he bus two brother«. Voltaire and Socrates respectively. Fancy this scene in the nursery: Franklin howling because Voltaire has broken his toy, while Socrates laughs at both. The mother as peacemaker shouts, ‘Stop. Socrates, or you’ll be punished!'

But can it be said that the possible uses of tbe wind have been as arduously Investigated as such recently discovered forces as steam and electricity aud gases? Is it not conceivable that tbe practical uses of the wind are underestimated Just because they are so familiar? We cannot help thinklug that the wind will be more variously employed some day In the same way that prob­ ably the problem of laying under con­ tribution the great physical fact of tbe tides will be solved. One would think that the wind could be used for elec­ tric lighting, yet there is no practical . apparatus for the purpose. True, the wind is variable and occasionally ab­ sent, but as electricity can be stored one might suppose that this was tbe very case In which variability did not particularly matter—Loudon Specta­ tor.

When vegetable matter accumulates uuder water It undergoes a Blow process of decomposition, giving off Its nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and some carbon, the result of which if carried far enough Is the formation of a rnasB of carbon. Peat, found often in swampy tracts, is the first stage in the coal forming process, and the further stages are formed by the burial of these vegetable deposits under great loads of sediment, where they become subject to pressure aud aometlmea to heat. Tills effects a series of changes, consolidation and loss of oxygen and gives a series of products whose na­ ture depends on the degree to which the original vegetable matter has been changed. The products are known as lignite, bituminous coal and anthracite coal. Tillanicok, Oregon. D R. I. M. SMITH, PHYSICIAN * SURGEON, Office over J. A. Todd & Co . Tillamook. Ore. w. U.
