Ackerman, Master LecB- smith.'* Origin of the “Throe R’s.” The famous toast to “the three It's— reading, ’ritlng and •rithmetlc"-was made by Sir William Curtis, lord may or of London, in the year 1795 and for many years one of the wardens of the tower. What made it more ludicrous was that be proposed it at a dinner given by the London board of educa tion. It was received with great ap plause and drunk amid much merri ment. At the time it was recognized as a Jest, but was afterward taken up in earnest by the mayor’s detractors, who have handed his name down to posterity as a blundering ignoramus. A writer has now come to his defense and says that when be was a boy an aged member of the board of .education assured him that Sir William knew better and that he really used his fa mous alliteration as a Jest. To many people, however, the story will always Bound better when It is based upon the belief that Sir William was really se rious. Not the Silent Partner. “I want to telegraph $25 to Chica go.” said a mon to the clerk in a Ban ton telegraph office recently. “The name, please,” asked th* i*- celving teller, a good looking young woman behind the counter, whose age might have been twenty-five. "It’s for Mrs. Mary K. Brown, 11* ---- avenue." answered the man. “Your name, too, please," again ques tioned the young woman. “My name Is Henry Brown; I’m th* other half of the firm," answered th* mau. “The money goes to the silent part- ; ner. eh?” good naturedly remarked the young woman. I "Not on your life she isn't!” answer ed the man. “Nothing silent about her. She’s made more noise for the last two weeks for this $25 than you can imag ine. She's the noisy partner of the firm, and she mnkes good with the title I too.”—Boston Traveler. A Record Hailstorm. The Giraffe as It Feeds. One of the worst hailstorms ever known in the United States occurred Sept. 5, 1898. in Nodaway county, Mis souri. The path of the storm was about three miles wide and eighteen miles long, its greatest violence being felt over a region of four square trlles east of Clarmont At one point in this region the fall of hail was so heavy that a drift unprotected by artificial means remained lying on the ground for four weeks after the storm. At the end of that time people in the neigh borhood were found gathering the hall for the purpose of making ice cream. During the storm cylindrical pieces of ice were picked up four inches long by about two and a half in dinmeter. The growing corn was practically all destroyed. In a field of eighty acres only one stalk was left standing.—Chi cago News. The singular shape of the giraffe is adapted to Its habits of life. It feeds on the young brunches and top shoots of the trees, and its long fore legs and neck enable it to browse at a far great er height than any other animal, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. In feeding It stretches up Its neck and with its long prehensile tongue, which it can protrude to a surprising distance, hooks down the tender shoots and leaves into Its mouth. But the crea ture's peculiar form, though enabling It to feed on what it likes best, is sometimes the cause of Its destruction. The fore legs are so long that to reach the ground it has to stretch them wide apart and bend down Its neck In a semicircle, and while drinking in this defenseless attitude the lion or leopard springs upon it nnd overpowers it be fore it can recover Itself. A View of Jefferson Davis. Very straight and tall. thin, with a clear cut. clean shaven, distinguished face, with a look half military man. half student, with a demeanor to all of perfect if somewhat chilling courtesy; by temperament a theorist, able with the ability of the field marshal or the scholar in the study, not with that of the reader and master of men, the hardest of workers, devoted, honor able. single minded, a figure on which a fierce light has beaten; a man not perfect nor always just, bound in the tolls of bis own personality, but yet an able man, who suffered and gave all, believed in himself and in bls cause and to the height of bls power labored for it day and night. Such a man was Jefferson Davis.—Mary John ston in “The Long Koll.” Splinters In the Fingers. When you get a splinter in your fin ger it is sometimes possible -to get at It by pressing the |>oint of a needle un der it, but unless you have deft fin gers or a pair of tweezers'you may not be able to pull it out even then. A new i>en nib is a very good substitute for a pair of tweezers. Lay the nib , over the splinter so as to hide it. Then press down bard enough to separate the nibs. If you row let the pen down level with the splinter and allow the nibs to close again they will take hold, and you can draw the splinter out. Remember that any metal thing that is to be applied to a wound, such as a needle, penknife or pen. should be passed lightly through a flame first, so as to disinfect it. A gas jet or a match will do.—New York Sun. Conquered. “No,” snapped the hard featured wo man, opening the kitchen door about six inches, “and, to be perfectly plain with you”— "You couldn't, marm.” gallantly in terposed Tuffold Knutt, lifting his tat tered remnant of a bat—“you couldn't be otherwise than perfickly harnsome with me!” “I was going to say,” she rejoined, visibly softening, “that, to be plain with you. there is nothing in the bouse I but cold victuals, but if you care to I try a plate of warmed over bash you can come in.”—Chicago Record-Herald. ' Love and the Drama. A periodical devoted to the drama pleads for playa based on some «mo tion other thau love The difficulty In producing such playa is that every play must have a hero, and in making a hero the playwright as well as bls audience almost inevitably adopts the view expressed 2.000 years ago by a scribbler on one of the dead walls of Pompeii. "He who has never loved a woman Is not a gentleman.”—Ex- char ge. Lucky B***i*. Having need of some small change, the mistress of the house stepped to the top of the back stairs.

Professor Elmer Gates performs a very interesting experiment by im mersing his hands and arms to the elbows in separate vessels filled with water just to the point of overflowing. By withdrawing his thought absolute ly from one hand and concentrating it on the other he so expands the blood vessels in the latter by sending on ex tra supply of blood to it that the wa ter in the vessel in which it is over flows quite perceptibly. To further prove this power of thought concentra tion he transfers the thought from one baud to the other without chang ing their positions until the other ves sel overflows. Professor Bell, inventor of the tele phone, said that when driving in the provinces in extremely cold weather, when be was in great danger of having his feet frozen, he was able to send an extra supply of blood to them by concentrating his mind upon them and thus saved himself from a very pain ful experience.—Nautilus.

Trade in booby eggs is one of the sights of Kingston, Jamaica. Long ago the British seamen gave the name “booby” to several of the species of gannets, because these fowls are re garded as stupid. The eggs are gath ered in vast quantities on the islets at certain seasons of the. year and taken to Port Antonio by thé boatload. The arrival of a boat with booby eggs Is the occasion of no little excitement •mung the negro women, who buy them by the box and then sell them by retail chiefly in Kingston, though they are also sold in other towns on the is land. Though sold mostly by the doz en to housekeepers, booby eggs are also peddled, bard boiled, on the streets of Kingston, salt and pepper being pro vided that the purchasers may eat the eggs at once. These eggs are about two-tbirds the size of an ordinary ben's egg and are quite palatable. Agents 1 for the Great Western Saw. ALEX McNAIR CO The Most V Reliable Merchants in Tillamook County. ■J!

The phrase “begging the question,” er in Latin "petitlo principle” signifies the treating of a proposition as a fully demonstrated fact when it is actually only a premise or statement brought forward and not yet proved.
