Tillamook R- L. A i BABY MIDSHIPMEN. In th« Old Day* When Children Were Sant to War. Among other Improvements in the art of war as attained by the world In these Liter days la the abolition of the practice of sending children to sea, as was the case when the midshipmen of the old "oak walls” of England often were boys of less than fourteen years. The Marquis of Dufferin aud Ava In telliug about the siege of Bomarsuud, in the Crimean war, which he witness rd from the frigate Penelope, related this story of one of these little fellows. “Wbat pleased me most during Ibe whole business," be sajs, “was the gallant behavior of a little midship man, a mere child, thirteen or fourteen years of age. About the time when the fire became pretty hot 1 happened to come across him, and, as he seemed to be as much out of a Job as myself. 1 touched my cap and took the liberty of observing that It was a fine day. to which be politely replied that it was. "Encouraged by tils urbanity, I ven tured to ask him bow loug be bad been at sea. Io which lie answered. T have only left my mamma six weeks, but 1 ain't going to cry on her majesty’s quarterdeck.' a remark which I think us worth recording as many a one made by more Illustrious heroes. Soon after this, however, a man was killed close to him. and the little fellow fainted aud was taken below." OUR USELESS BUFFALOES. Thsy Have Passed Away Because They Were Economically Unfit. As a typical species of American fauna the buffalo had his place In our history, but take him by aud large he was a rather useless beast, with no adaptability for civilization. He served his purpose on the plains when men Iml a nomadic life there aud existed on his rifle- But us soon as the range land, over which tlie buffalo “roamed lu couutless thousands," became fit for settlement the buffalo was decidedly de trop. Very little of him was flt to eat He was worth a bullet when there was no other meat to be had, but a people ac customed to modern steaks aud roasts would find him not overappetlzlng once the novelty wore off In a word, the buffalo was economically unfit, and be went the way of the unfit Had be been conserved be might now be affording opportunity for big game hunters to enjoy themselves in moder ation. They are really the only per sons who bure suffered by bls dlsap pea rance. To preserve tho buffalo as u specimen hi our zoos is proper, lie is a curiosity and has a historical vulue. But entirely too many tears huve been shed over his destruction, One steer was and still is worth a dozen bison —Seattle Post-lntelllgeucer. •a ______________ _ Japanese ‘'Movies.” Even the remotest towus In Japan hnve their moving picture shows, and In large cities they seem to be Dearly ns plentiful as ou thia side of the Pa ciOc. In Yokohama there la a whole street of them, and. as the program of each In endless and each picture Is an nounced lu huge symbols on a separate variegated banner flying from a tall liamboo pole, the aspect of Theater street is startlingly unique. The pic tures Illustrating the sensational points of the programs above tho entrances and at tbelr sides have a certain qualntneaa about them, which la ac centuated by the fact that they are all originals, not mere stereotyped adver tisements printed tn raw colors.

Take Marjelan, which at regular Intervals completely disappears uud does not be gin to refill until the following winter or spring. Ou them: occasions it emp ties Itself so rapidly that the It hone rises several meters In a few hours and overflows Its batiks But it Is not necessary to go to Switzerland lu order to tind a freak- Ish lake. There is a pond In the center of Long Island, at the present end of the Motor parkway, called l.aka lion koukoma It baa neither inlet nor out let aud Ilea nt the foot of the bills that form the backbone of 1-oug Island Round its »Imres are many pretty sum mer homes. The trees about It are much larger and more beautiful than elsewhere on Long Island The waters of the lake are very clear and cold In some places It seems bottomless. The strange thing about Lake Ron konkoma Is that It has a tide; not a tide like the ocean that rises anil falls every twelve hours, but one that takes seven years to rise and seveu more to fall. The difference between high wa ter aud low water mark Is between thirty and forty feet. Many srieiititic men have studied the curious phe nomenon, but do one has fuund out what causes this mysterious Ude. Nei ther long continued rnlus nor severe droughts affect the quantity of water in the lake The Indians used to bold the lake In great awe, and few dared to cross it In a canoe.

And President Tyler Found a Place For Old Jack Dade. President Tyler had a curious ottiie seeking experience nt the very begin nlng of his administration. Old Jack Dade, a character about Washington, who had been the president's class mate at coilege, went to the White House, and said he, "Jack, I want an office.” "You do?" said President Tyler. "What office on earth do you think you are fit for?" “Why, one o’ these ‘slnecurees’ I hear so much about—no work and good pay,” Dade promptly replied "Well, Jack.” said Tyler deprecating- ly, “you know that 1 am president now and must hnve some kind of war rant for making an appointment. Can you get anybody to indorse you? Could you bring me a letter of recommenda tion?” “Oh. yes," said Dade. “I’m fixed for that,” and he produced n letter of four pages written by Tyler himself to ' President Harrison, whom he had just | succeeded, urging the claims of bls | dear friend and classmate.
