Tillamook HOMELY CHILDREN. ■''«♦«n develop Into Beautisa When the Face io Fully Grown. I Let no parent despair of a plain Lbild. Beauty so far from being “skin Heep” largely depends upon the propor tion between the different parts of the [face, and this depends upon tbelr rate lot growth. Before a boy's voice breaks lie may have a very defective chin, a serious blemish for our ideal of manly beauty. But that chin may be destined to grow Just when the boy’s beard be- glns to grow and may transform him. I saw the other day an old school fel low whom I could scarcely recognize, so vastly improved was he since bls young boyhood by the acquisition of that chin which anatomists tell us is a peculiarity (and therefore a beauty) of our species. Robert Southey was de scribed by bis nurse as a “great ugly boy” when he was born, but he grew to be so handsome that Byron said he would be almost content to father Southey's poetry if he might have it's author's bead and shoulders. 1 cannot say what percentage of ugly children turn out handsome later in life, but certainly many do partly be cause in earlier life the various parts of the face have developed at some what unequal rates and partly because of the Influence of another factor of beauty, in which Southey was rich. Its old fashioned but familiar name is the soul.—Dr. C. W. Saleeby in Strand Magazlue. » FEAT OF A FOX. Its Remarkable Dieplay of Cunning In Securing a Meal. In a field of feeding hares foxes havo been observed to approach with a slow, limping motion nnd bolding down their heads, as if eating clover, until they were near enough to secure their prey. The following is an extraordinary in stance of fox cunning: One week when the ground was frozen, but bare of snow, a farmer placed a ben under a strong, heavy chicken coop. The coop was boarded on one side and lathed on the other, the lower lath within an inch of the ground, which was smooth, but sloping, with a furrow-like depression a few inches in depth about two feet up the slope. In the morning the hen was gone. The coop stood Immediately over the depression, the laths bearing numerous impressions of nn animal's teeth, and the small one at the apex was scratch ed by its claws. The fox had wasted no strength on the board trying to push the coop over in an uphill direction, but he tried his best on the other side. Failing in this, be bit and tore at the laths to break them and finally drew the coop up the hill over the hollow, dragged out the hen and made off, leaving no blood, very few feathers and only three of his hairs on the laths.—Haqier's Weekly. Open Winters. When snow covers the ground it pre serves vegetable life without develop ing it Snow Is three times less power ful as a conductor of heat than rain; it screens the ground and prevents noc turnal radiation. Vegetables, cereals tn particular, can endure a considerable lowering of tem perature if the fall of snow precedes the frost Ground planted to wheat can pass through a period when the tem perature falls far below zero If the snow covers it well. While rain brings to the ground azote in the form of im molili or nitric acid, snow enriches the soil in much greater proportion. A liter of rainwater contains much less fer tilising material than the same amount of hoarfrost or melted snow, nnd when the winter has been “open” or mild, when there has been rain Instead of snow, the farmer is forced to spend more money for fertilizers than when the winter has given the earth snow in abundance.—Harper’s. Pliny’s Yarns. Pliny's yarns about human anatomy were something wonderful. He tells of a race of savage men whose feet are turned backward and of a race known as Monocoli. who have only one leg. but are able to leap with sur prising agility. The same people are also called the Scfapodae. because they are in the habit of lying on their backs during the extreme heat nnd protecting themselves from the sun by the shade of their feet. These people dwell not far from the Troglodytae, to the west of whom again there are a tribe who are without necks and have their eyes tn their shoulders. Greatest Countries. Great Britain, or rather the British empire, owns the largest share of the earth. The figures are as follows: British empire.

These five nations own two-thirds of the world In wealth the United Sta’es is far In advance of any other nation.— New York American. LADY MARY’S DIET.' •— tiare Headlight, ben jonson . Ho Was Fat and Coarse and a Worso Bully Than Or. Johnson. “Rare Ben Jonson." who Is admired by everybody and read by nobody, was a distinctly unpleuaaut individual who bad few real friends during his life time. A good many people pretended to like him and enjoy bis society be cause they were afraid of him. He was not only vindictive with his pen, but he was quick to imagine insults or slights nnd was proue to reseut them with bis lists.

He was a worse bully than Samuel Jobuson. The Intter, with all bls faults, never raised a rough house. Jonson fought two duels and killed bls man on both occasions.

It Was Entirely Too Dainty to Suit Her Italian Doctor. That recipe of the tallest Scotsman in London—two meals a day and live forever—would not have appealed to the Englishman of the eighteenth cen tury nor yet to the mau who lived abroad. Here, for instance, are a few trifles which Lady Mary Montagu man aged to exist ou in Italy: "I wake about 7 and drink half a pint of warm asses’ milk," she wrote. kafter which I sleep two hours.

May 8, IÖI3 LIFE IN MACEDONIA. It Is Very Much In ths Opsn, With Lit tle or No Privacy. We arose early one February morn ing and left our fairly clean hotel In Neapolis for four hours of travel over tbe modern road near tbe Via Eguatin. which should take us to ancient Philip pi. Our vehicle was a somewhat dilap idated hack, such as Americans are familiar with at almost every consid erable railway station, but a surpris ingly comfortable conveyance for this part of the world. Rattling down some steep, roughly paved streets, we came to tbe center of the old Neapolis, pass oil near tbe great Roman aqueduct aud ascended another steep street on tbs other side of tbe market place. Early as it was, we found that tbe people of Kavalla were up and dolug The stalls of the fruit men were at tractive with oranges, pomegranates lemons and dates. Tbe vegetable deal ers displayed a tempting array of caul! flowers, cabbages, onions, okra, leeks and potatoes. As iu all easteru cities, there wns no privacy. The cook was preparing his breakfast on the sidewalk, the shoe maker was plying bis awl. the tailor bis needle, and tbe blacksmith was shoeing his horses almost in the very street—Christian Herald. A MOTHER'S TRIBUTE. Pathetic Ceremony at Night on an At lantic Ocean Liner. Strange, perhaps, to us, but very touching, is the tender, intimate solid tude of tbe Latiu races for their dead —"1 nostri morti." as the Italians are wont to call those whom they have lost. There is a simple pathos iu the incident that was related by a passen ger on oue of the great transatlantic mail boats. A few days before the stenmer sail ed from Havre its captain received a letter from a peasant woman of Indre et-Loire. in it she explained that her only son bad been a cook ou the Titan ic and had gone down with the vessel She was sending, she wrote, a cross which slie begged him to drop into tbe sea at the spot where the disaster oc curred. Tbe cross came in due time, a simple cross of wood, fashioned rudely enough by tbe mother’s fingers, and one night, as the great vessel neared Newfound land, for the space of a minute her en glues ceased to pulse, and the little wooden cross, weighted with lead, sank beneath tbe waves of the Atlantic.— Paris Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph. DUR MARINE CORPS'. ' T tJOlIN LELAND HENDhRSON, Noted For Brave Deeds Sines ths Days of tho Revolution. Our marine corps was organized by act of tbe Continental congress in 1775, and Rs history continues unbroken down to the present time. It is the old est branch of tbe military service and was originally created to prevent mu tiny by the sailors, many of whom were "impressed.” Then, too, in the days of sailing ships, and especially iu battle at sea, the sailors were largely occupied in maneuvering the vessel. Fighting wus at close quarters, nnd a large body of men who bad nothing to do but fight was of great service. Tbe adveut of steam and of long range guns made tbe old style of fighting impossible. The story of the marine corps ts a stirring one. The marines distinguished themselves first in 1779 In the battle between the Bonhomme Richard and the Serapls. They had previously, In 1776, taken part in tbe bloodless cap ture of 100 cannon at New Providence, tn tbe Bahamas. They fought in Trip oli in 1803, and in 1805 they made a re markable march across tbe Libyan des ert and took tbe fortress of Derna. At New Orleans in 1815 the ma rines again distinguished themselves, and they covered themselves with glory at the battle between the Chesapeake and Shnnnon. At Sliltnonoseki, Japan, In 1864; Formosa in 1867, in Korea in 1871, Panama in 1885. nt Manila and Guantanamo tn tho war with Spain and In Chinn during the Boxer out break they proved their worth.—Har per's Weekly.
