any government are its only lasting foundation.
Inc experience of hundred years of American
politics had proved that there is a want of
moral balance in the councils of the Nation. He
ana not predict any great or sudden revolution
from the enfranchisement of women; but he
looked for gradual restoration of a higher moral
standard of political and civil power through the
combined equality of men and women as expressed
through the ballot In conclusion, he wished to
know how many of the ladies and gentlemen
present were anxious for the women of the State
10 become voters, and asked all such to rise to
their feet The audience arose ,yl isse, amid
great enthusiasm.
Mrs. Duniway said that, theyI4 through
with the evening, though not half through with
the programme, they would be compelled 90 adj
journ.
Thus ended the first ratification meeting in
honor of a Legislature ever given under the
auspices of ladies in any State in the Union. Men
may wrangle as they may over the action Of the
Oregon Legislature in connection with their many
conflicting financial interests, but the history of
the session of 1850, in its action on the Woman
Suffrage resolution, will grow brighter and grander
in the annals of the Nation, as the years roll on
forever.

A Parrot Yarn.

A lady friend is very fond of parrots,
and determined to get one at any cost.
Living near by her was Frenchman,
who owned very fine specimen of the
bird, and the lady threw longing and
covetous eyes at it. 1t could talk like a
woman, and Mrs. Blank at last resolved
to own that parrot. The other day,
being acquainted with the Frenchman,
she made up her mind to ask him to
part with it. She called upon him to
part with it. She called upon him for
that purpose.
.Now, Mr.. Napoleon" she pleaded,
s.you must let me have that parrot
ssOh, madame he said, II could
not part wiz the parrote for any price.
He voz &c choy of my what you call
him? Oui, household. 1 have been
offair feefty dollar of he. would not
take re tousand dollar for hep
She pleaded in vain. Napoleon could
not be moved.
A few days later she called again,
but still the Frenchman was immovable.
81 tell you what 1 do. 1 gee you two
nice parrote eggs for ten dollar. All
you haf to do is to place zem in some
cotton, and zey hatch zemselves out
two magnifique parrote peards,"
The bargain was made, and the lady
Withdrew in delighted frame of mind.
She did as directed, and in course of
time the eggs were hatched; but, in
stead of 1.-TWO parrote, a1brace of the
finest young ducks that ever made q
hole in the water put in an appearance.
Mrs. Blank hurried to the man and
berated him soundly for the deception.
Mr.. Napoleon looked surprised.
..Madame,'' he protested, Il saw re
female parrote lay zose eggs wiz my
own two eyes. She was ze finest peard
in re world, but can not vouch for ze
morality of re parrote."

Not very long ago . portion of hard
dry skin was found underneath the en-
bossed head of huge iron nail that
was fixed into the door of the Chapter
House. at Westminster. Upon this
skin were found several hairs. Mr..
Quekett, Curator of the Museum of the
College Of Surgeons, recognized the
hair to be human, and asserted that it
belonged to fair-haired person In
former times the Danes used to come
mp the mouths of the English rivers TO
piilage the churches. When they were
cxaght they were skinned, and their
skins nailed to the door of the church
they attacked, In the course of time,
all the exposed portion would peel off;
that covered by the nail would remain
protected, and thus bear testimony to
the cruelty of our ancestors. In the
College of Surgeons may be seen three
specimens of human skin. presented by
Mr.. Albert Way, viz; "Portion of hui
man skin, said to be that of Dane,
from the door of church at Hadstock,
in Essex o second specimen is from
Copford, in Essex, and third from
the north door of Worcester Cathedral.

Ona recent Saturday evening a man
stepped into a grocery store at North
ampton, Mass, with bundle contain
ing q pair of boots, which he laid down
for moment. Near by were several
Holsters, which had been done up for a
lady from a neighboring village, max
ing q package similar in size to the
other. By some chance the owners ex-
changed bundles, and the gentleman
after having nearly reached home found
his ''boots'' suspiciously moist and
took them back to the store. But the
lady went home, placed the supposed
lobstSrs on ice in order to keep them
}n good condition for dinner, and did
not discover the mistake until Just be-
fore dinner time.

An Indian thief was tI,yned over

An Indian thief was turned over to
the chief of his tribe, at San Diego,
California, and by him sentenced to re-
ceive a hundred lashes. The culprit
was a big, powerful fellow; but he sub
mitted quietly to being tied to the side
of a high wagon with his legs and arms
extended, and his back barred. A stall
wart Indian struck the blows with all
his might. using a leather lariat, and
making the blood flow at every stroke
The victim endured the dreadful tor
ture a while, and then broke out into
agoniZed screams. If he had remained
silent to the end, the chief would have
restored him to the tribe; but, as he
"cried like coward baby he was af-
terward driven out of the neighbor-
hood.

The Wheat Yield.

The wheat yield of 1850, as esiima-
ted in Bradslreets Reporter, probably
comes as near the facts as can be reach
ed. The total yield OF the United
States is placed at 455. .640.000 bushels.
the New England Safes produced
100000 bushels; the Middle States,
36. $50 900: the Southern States, II.
929, 900; the great West,;he enormous
product of 1923 675 600 bushels. and
the Pacific States, 80 100000. Illinois
is the great producing State Of the
Union, its yield being set down ST
so 100000 bushels.
Or the heat crop of the country, it
is estimated 265. 900 GOO bushels will
be needed at home Tor food, seed, etc..
leaving for expectation 100 600, 600
bushels. A csreiul calculation OF the
needs of foreign countries shows that
this surplus will be absorbed, except
about 27.OO0,000 bushels, which is not
too large an amount to be held in re-
serve in the worlds supply Of wheat.
There seems 10 be no doubt that for
this year g crop of wheat our farmers
are sure OF good prices. The partial
failure OF the Russian crop, and an
unexpected domend for American
wheat for that country, will Inaintain
fair pri' es al home and abroad. Rus
sis, ins cad of bving - competitor, is 3
Consumer. With the usual large crop
i'll that K npire, conditions might have
been changed ia 8 very uncomfortable
manner tor American agriculturists.
Our farmers, however, seem 10 be the
especial pets OF Providence.

WHEN they shear sheep in Australia
they mean business, as may be imag-
ined, when the focks aggregate over
PCS, 600 head. There are somepropri
etors who own more than 500 600.
~Edoes & Co, New South Wales, upon
one sheep farm at Burrawary, had n
sheep shearing which lasted ten weeks s
and was concluded early III December
during which time $50, 1913 sheep were
shorn. One hundred s,iesrers, be-
sides the regular farm hands, wer,
employed.

From the inquiries conducted by Pro-
fcssor Herman Cohn, of Breslau, since
1865, it appears that short-sightedness
is rarely or never born with those sub
ject to it. and is always the result of
strains sustained by the eye during
study in early youth. Myopia. as it is
called. is seldom found among pupils
of village schools. and its frequency
increases in proportion to the demand
made upon the eye in higher schools
and in colleges. A better construction
of school desks. an improved typogra-
ply of textbooks, and sufficient
lighting of ciass-rooms, are the reme-
dies proposed to abate this malady.
