Curious Form of Punishment of tha

It Was a Lasting Lesson and Killed Hie
Taste For Sugar.
Captain B. C. Hucks, the famous air
man, during a lecture on three years'
flying progress at the Royal Society of
Arts de.- :!bed a thrilling adventure iu
a dense cloud. He was explaining thy
need for some instrument which will
Show an all man up In the clouds that
he Is flying on a level keel.
“I set out on a very cloudy, windy
day to do a test climb to 10.000 feet on
a late type two seater. On reaching
1,200 feet we got into a dense rain
cloud, but carried on to beyond 0.000
feet, still in the cloud, when the com
pass apparently began to swing (really
it is the machine that tiegin» swinging,
not the compass), and efforts to check
the compass had the effect of causing
it to swing more violently in the other
direction.
“The air speed then rushed up far lie-
yond normal flying speed. All efforts
to pull her up checked her only slight
ly. Then the rudder was tried; back
weut the air speed to zero. There was
an unusual, uncanny feeling of being
detached from the machine, and I
knew her to lie literally tumbling about
in the clouds. All efforts to settle down
■gain to a straight flight seemed to l>e
unavailing until we emerged from the
cloud very nearly upside down. As
suming control again was then an easy
matter."—London Mail.
Ther» was no Bed Cross In the old
days, and women nurses were not ad
mitted to the field hospitals, but wo
men were frequent visitors to the sta
tionary army hospitals In the cities,
bringing food delicacies and always
anxious to assist in relieving the suf
ferings of their sick or wounded heroes.
James Morris Morgan in bis reminis
cences of the “Lost Cause" relates a
story incident to bis visit to a Rich
mond war hospital to see bls friend,
Captalu F. W. Dawson, who was very
seriously wounded. The day was hot,
and be found bls friend lying on a cot
near the open front door so week that
be could not speak above a whisper
The poor fellow whispered in his ear.
“Jimmie, for mercy's sake make them
move my cot to the back of the build
ing."
Morgan assured him that he had been
placed in the choicest place In the hos
pital, so that he could get any little air
that might lie stirring, but be still in
sisted that be wanted to tie moved, giv
ing as a reason that every lady who en-
tered the place washed bis face and fed
him with meat Jelly. The result was
that bis face felt sore and he was
stuffed so full of Jelly that he was most
uncomfortable. As be was so weak
that he could not defend himself, the
women would not listen to bls protests.
At Morris' request the head surgeon
pinned a notice on Dawson's sheet to
this effect: “This man must be washed
and fed only by the regular nurses.”
We du not nowadays exhibit esged
offenders to the gaze of a curloua pub
lic, but such a form of punishment was
at one time more or less common.
When the three great Anabaptist lead
ers were executed iu Prussia, in 1**36,
thev were exposed to the public gaze
In Iron cages hung on the walls of the
church of St. Lambert, lu Munster am-
Stein.
Catherine II. of Russia had her wig
dresser confined to a cage because the
bigwigs at court complained that the
tonsorial gentleman hid big ears, and
Edward I. of England caused the Coun
tess of Buchan and the stater of Robert
Bruce to be locked up in two large Iron
cages, which were hung on to the tur
ret of the castle of Berwick, In 1306.
Alexander the Great had Callsthenes,
the Greek philosopher, kept for seven
months in an Iron cage because the lat
ter denied Alexander s divine right to
rule, and for eleven long years the
French Cardinal Balue had a unique
opportunity of studying at first hand
wiiat it Lals like to be a captive canary,

River Indro, for Just that period.
And coming down to more recent
times, there was the huge iron cage,
mounted on wheels, which the Boers
had constructed for the late Cecil
Rhodes during the South African war,
but which Lord French robbed of Its
intended occupant by turning up so
suddenly at Kimberley.—London An

No man can accomi>llsh any great
thiug without making enemies. It is
said a man may lie "known by the ene
mies he makes.” Observe the kind of
enemies one makes and their reasons
for enmity. The man who makes no
enemies Is comparatively worthless.
The Bible says, "Woe unto you when
all men shall speak well of you.”
It 1» not necessary to court enemies,
but if you encounter hostility in the
course of piursulng your way honestly
and with your best judgment do not
allow it to disturb you. He who lias
no enemies Is not likely to have real
friends. If you would measure a man's
worth, observe his enemies. Of what
character are they? What are their
reasons for being at enmity? While
the wise man should be undaunted by
bls enemy, neither should he be un
mindful of him Reconcile your enemy,
if possible, but never fawn on him or
cringe to him. in the hope of making
him a friend. Tills will win his con-
tempt.
It Is wise to look out for the enemy
who jxises as a friend, He will etab

A Featherbed Beauty.
The quezal of Guatemala Is consider
ed the most beautiful bird In tlie world
Its plumage vies with the rainbow and
shines with a metallic luster. Until
within the last few years It was un
known to science, mainly owing to the
fact that it is a hermit among the feath
ered creatures, delighting In the silence
of high altitudes. It dwells on moun
tain heights above 7,000 feet In eleva
tion. The quezal was the royal bird of
the Aztecs, and Its pinnies were used to
decorate the headdresses and cloaks
of the kings of thnt laud. Its breast Is
a brilliant scarlet, while its green tall
attains a length of three feet. It Is
about the elze of the common pigeon.
It nests In holes In rotten trees, which
It enlarges with its bill, so as to make
a roomy and comfortable residence.
The young are hatched totally devoid
«if feathers.

The Oregon Farmer
Offers Unusual Opportunity to Its Readers
MONG our large circle of readers
there are a great many who are in
terested directly or indirectly in
fruit growing, dairying and other
branches of farming. All of these
naturally wish to keep in close touch with ag
ricultural activities throughout the state;
and to know about any fight which is being
waged for the measures Oregon farmers
want and against all sorts of schemes that
are detrimental to the people and agricultural
interests of this state.
A
We have, therefore, made a special clubbing
arrangement with THE OREGON FAR
MER whereby any farmer or fruitgrower,
who is one of our regular subscribers and who
is not now a subscriber to THE OREGON
FARMER, will be entitled to receive THE
OREGON FARMER in combination with
this paper at the same rate as for this paper
alone.
This offer applies to all those who renew or
extend their subscriptions as well as to all
new subscribers. If you are interested di
rectly or indirectly in Oregon agriculture,
do not miss this unusual or portunity, but
send your order in now.
DAYLIGHT AT MIDNIGHT,
And Also Bassball Gama» snd 8hootlng
Matches In Alaska-
Two events of annual occurrence In
Alaska are the shoot of the various
territorial gun clubs at Seward and the
midnight baseball game at Fairbanks.
Jane 22 being the longest day In the
year, there is no hour of the entire
twenty-four when a newspaper cannot
be easily read out of doors, and In con
sequence dealers in artificial light and
lighting supplies have no business but
to dream of the coming winter months,
when people light lamps at 2 o’clock in
the afternoon and keep them going In
the forenoon until 10 o’clock or later.
Eight o’clock hi the evening is the
hour at which the ball games usually
begin, but so far as adequate light Is
concerned 12 o’clock midnight would do
equally as well.
The Seward 12 o'clock midnight shoot
ing tournament Is invariably attended
by all sportsmen from the United States
who chance to lie visiting near there at
the time, and the participation of such
gentlemen la frequently a source of
chagrin to themselves and of amuse
ment to the initiated, as the shooting
records of eveu the crack shots take a
sad slump at these events. This Is due
to the peculiar light, with which visi
tors are naturally not fnuilllar. As
Alaskan sportsmen do much of their
summer shooting after 6 o'clock tn the
evening and are used to these condi
tions, there Is little variation In their
marksmanship whatever the hour.—
New York World.
THE OREGON FARMER is the one farm
paper which is devoting itself exclusively
to the farming activities ai d interests of
Oregon. It has a big organization gath-
ering the news of importance to farmers,
dairymen, fruitgrowers, sti ck raisers and
poultrymen; and it has the backbone to at
tack wrongful methods and combinations and
bad legislation, and support honest leaders
and beneficial measures. We are confident
that our readers will congratulate us on our
being able to make this splendid and at
tractive clubbing offer.

Why Metals Rust.
Gold does not tarnish like other metal
because It is not acted upon by oxygen
or water. It is the moisture In the at
mosphere which causes other metal« to
tarntah owing to their oxidation. Water
contains a large proportion of oxygen.
It Is the oxygen in the moist air com
bining with the surface of the metals
that covers them with tarnish. Plati
num, like gold, resists the Influence of
oxygen and moisture and when pure

also doe» not rust, neither hot nor cold
water having any action upon It. Sil

Hi« Fri«nd« Fairly Congratulated Cro
zier Into the Army.
Congratulations made General Wil
liam Crozier a soldier. He was a boy
at the time in Kansas, whither his
family had moved from Ohio, and
hoped to be a lawyer.
David P. Lowe was the member of
congress from bls district. Lowe, meet
ing Judge Robert Crozier In the street,
said:
"I have decided to appoint your son,
William, to the Military academy at
West Point.”
The judge, having gone home for din
ner, told tlie news.
"But I don't want to be a soldier,"
William protested.
Word of Congressman Lowe’s lnten
tlon having spread through the town,
all of the inhabitants, including the
maidens, hastened to Inform William
how pleased they were over his good
fortune. Old men said they knew that
he would be a credit to the community.
Physicians, lawyers and ministers
praised his manly bearing and studious
habits.
And so William Crozier, listening in
silence, which was interpreted as mod
esty, gradually passed from reluctance
to eagerness and entered West Point
with a high pitch of enthusiasm.
General Crozier is a chemist, engi
neer, metallurgist and manufacturer,
and the disappearing gun carriage he
Invented is used in the fortifications
that guard the coasts of the two
oceans.—Boston Globe.
Ye Bad Boyes In Churoh.
In Salem iu 167(1 it was ordered by
the town that “all ye boyes of ye
towne are appointed to silt upon three
palre of stairs in ye meeting house, and
William Lord Is appointed to look aft
er ye boyes upon ye pulpit stairs.” In
Stratford tlie tithing man was ordered
to "watch over youths of disorderly
carriage and see they behave them
selves comelle and use such raps aud
blows as Is lu Ills discretion meet” In
Durham any misbehaving boy was pun
ished publicly after the service was
over. We would nowadays scarcely
seat twenty or thirty active boys to
gether In church if we wished them
to be models of attention and dignified
behavior, but after the boys' seats
were removed from the pulpit stairs
they were all turned in together lu a
"boys' pew" In the gallery.

A Lesson John Ruskin Learned In Hi«
Early Childhood.
Iu the matter of discipline John Rus
kin’s mother was a Spencerian before
Spencer. “Let your penalties.” says
that austere philosopher, "be like the
penalties inflicted by inanimate nature.
Inevitable. The hot cinder burns a
child the first time he seizes it. It
burns him the second time. It burns
him every time, and he very soon
learns not to touch the hot cinder.”
That was Mrs. Ruskin’s method. Toll
lustrate her way of teaching lessons.
Ruskin used to tell the following Inci
dent of his early childhood, which big.
mother was fond of relating.
"One evening, when I was yet In my
nurse’s arms. I wanted to touch the-
tea urn, which was boiling merrily, It
was an early taste for bronzes. 1 sup

mother hade me keep my fingers back.

nurse would have taken me away iron*,
the urn, but my mother said:

"So 1 touched it. and that was my

time I asked for."—Youth’s Companion.
Training Raw Recruits.
An army officer, speaking of the ne
cessity for the rigid training of re-
emits, said:
“Don’t delude yourselves with tba
idea that a man won’t be frightened
under fire, because he will be. He’ll be
badly frightened If he Is a normal hu
man being.
"Now, If a man can be made to bring
his rifle up to his shoulder In battle
and fire it is conceded by military au
thorities that a soldier has been made
out of him.
