TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. JANUARY 2,
HANGED FOB BURNING COAL
NOTED PORT OF WANDERERS
RACIAL BLENDINGS IN STRIA
The present-day restrictions with re
gard to the use of coal would have
seemed very mild to our ancestors, re
marks a writer In London Tlt-Blta.
There la no doubt that the use of what
used to be called “sea coal" to distin
guish It from charcoal had its draw-
backs.
Many look forward to the time when
there will be no mors smoky chimneys
In Britain, when the atmosphere of
I
London will be as clean as It must
i
have been In tbs days of Good Queen I
Bess, and when a new building will not
be begrimed with soot almost as soon
as it Is built.
In the reign at Edward I the inhabi
tants of London petitioned the king
against the growing nse of coal, declar
ing that It was “a public nuleanca, cor
rupting the air with its stink ond
smoko, to the great detriment of their
health." Whereupon the king prohib
ited its nee, offenders to be punished
for a first offense by a fine and for a
second to have their kilns snd fur
naces destroyed.
The practice of using coal was at
length made a capital offense and a
man was tried, condemned and hanged
for burning coal la London.
In those days the population of Eng
land probably did not exceed four or
five million, and wood was plentiful
and cheap from the vast forests that
covered tens of thousands of square
miles where now are greet towns
Syria, the region extending from the
Taurus mountains to Egypt and from
the desert to “the great sea,” la the
lend of the patriarchs and prophets
and apostles—“the Holy Land.” Its
population numbers about three and
one-half million of Semitic origin,
speaking the Arabic language, and yet
with co many races Intermingled
through the centuries of the various
conquests and occupations that the
people cannot claim any one race aa
their own. Greek. Roman and Euro
pean crusader, all have blended with
the acfent Semitic stock to produce the
Syrians of today.
In Syria was the one green spot
of Turkey—the Lebanon mountains In
1800, because of the massacres the
European powers insisted that these
mountains be made autonomous And
since that date this little dletrlct has
been a living demonstration of what
the people of the land are capable of
becoming.
The steep mountain sides have been
terraced to a height of <000 feet and
planted to olives figs and vines Taxes
have been low, safety to person and
property secured, good roads built and
kept In repair. The people have con
structed more comfortable homes and
have sent their sons to schools and col
leges
The story of the achievements of
the Lebanon and Its sons during these
60 years of autonomy would be a thrill
ing narrative In Itself.
ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO
KEEP COOL AND KEEP WELL
Secret of Sir Walter Scott's Marvelous
Literary Achievements Told In
a Few Words.
Some Points of Importance to Be Ro-
membered When an Epidemic Is
Threatening Public Health.
“Never to be doing nothing“ was the
simple but effective rule that enabled
Sir Walter Scott to get done the enor
mous amount of work for which be Is
noted. A passage in Lockhart'S Ufa of
the poet and novelist reads:
“Those who observed him the moat
constantly were never able to under
stand how he contrived to keep him
self so thoroughly up with the stream
of contemporary literature of almost
nil sorts, French and German, aa well
as English. That a rapid glance might
tell him more than another man could
gather by a week's poring may easily
be guessed; but the graud secret was
hla perpetual practice of his own grand
maxim, never to be doing nothing. He
had no *unconaldered trifles' of time.
Every moment was turned to account;
and thus he had leisure for everything
—except, Indeed, the newspapers,
which consume so many precious hours
nowadays with most men, and of
which, during the period of my ac
quaintance with him, he certainly read
less than any other man I ever knew
that had any habit of reading at all.
I should also except, speaking general
ly, the reviews and magazines of the
time. Of these he saw few, and of the
few he read little."
At Its worst any epidemic takes but
relatively small toll of the popula-
tion, and as a rule the majority of
people are resistant to the assaults of
the worst disease germs, Including in
fluenza, If they but take ordinary care
of themslves.
This Is Important.
Whatever medical science may advlae
as to prevention or as to treatment,
one simple fact that outweighs every
thin; else Is that if every individual
will but follow the normal life he has
led, eat thoae things that are suited to
his system, things he has always eaten
with resulting good health, rest and
sleep as usual and avoid overfatigue
while carrying on his work, also as
usual. he will escape the pestilence.
There is no excuse for any panic,
Above all, the Individual should re
member that the first and last rule to
follow In this state of things Is to keep
cool and keep well. For the man who
will keep cool will keep well, and the
man who keeps well and has all his
faculties about him will keep cool.
This la no time for official or Individ
ual or collective hysteria.—Philadel
phia Public Ledger.

years, says The Villager, the district

Macedonian Shepherds Have Firm Be
lief In the Existence of Creaturee
of a Lower World.
A Macedonian shepherd, tending hla
flocks In the high pastures, sets off
ou hls rounds In the morning, and finds
several of hls sheep mangled about the
neck, dying or dead. He hastens to
the nearest village and spreads the aw
ful news—Vampires!
Now, a vampire may only be seen
by certain gifted people, and these
make It their life's business to destroy
them. Their usual fee is about sixty
dollars. So the shepherd hastens to
a vampire killer, and this man takes
down hls long musket, loads It, and
rams down a holy wafer on top of
the charge. He puts on a long sheep-
akin coat and seta out for the hills.
Just before dawn be will be heard
to fire a single shot At daybreak he
shows the shepherd a pool of blood.
That la the dead vampire, for a vam
pire Is all blood, and, being shot of
course resolves into a pool of blood.
A vampire slayer la treated with
great deference by hie neighbors. He
is a power In the land, But In ail
villages there la usually one scoffer;
one man who can read, or, perhaps,
has traveled outside hls native land.
He laughs when you mention VHinpires,
and talks of wolve^ and dogs that have
run amuck. He even hints that It Is
possible to hide a bladder filled with
blood beneath the Inng sheepskin coat
the slayer wears. There is bad feeling
between the vampire slayer and tills
scoffer. They pass each other without
speaking.
