Rabbit Chasing in Oregon.

Some weeks since CON munication
was received by the Oregonian, inquir-
ing as to whether there was any kind OF
tree which the rabbits of Eastern Oregon
would not eat. The question was thought
to be a silly one at the time, but subse-
quent investigation shows that it is one
of considerable Importance. During a
flying trip to Eastern Oregon few days
since, an Oregonian reporter learned that
the young trees set out on timber culture
claims had been greatly injured last
winter by rabbits, which, when the
ground is covered with snow, go fol
everything in the shape of vegetation
which rises above it. He also learned
that no known species of tree is safe
from their attacks. Perhaps the deadly
upas tree might knock them silly if not,
an iron tree is the only recourse. 1t will
not make excellent firewood when grown,
but will make excellent fence posts. The
rabbits have increased in numbers of late
years, owing to the destruction of their
enemies, the coyotes, which have been
poisoned off by sheep men, and they are be-
coming a nuisance. AS the country be-
comes settled they will gradually disap-
pear, for although no dog can catch q
administered fan-tailed jack rabbit, yet
dogs soon learn the coyotes trick, and
one will chase after the rabbit while an
other, who has found out that the 10 ng-
cared animal always comes back to the
place from which he started, lies in wait,
and as the painting and tired rabbit nears
the home base he pounces out upon him
and gathers him in. One rancher has a
shrewd old shepherd dog which man.
ages to catch rabbits without assistance.
When he first starts the rabbit he rushes
furiously after it for short distance.
The rabbit lights out for ten-mile run,
and finally finds his way home rather
tired. Next day the dog starts the rab.
bit again and races him far enough to
warm bin up, and he does his regular
round again, and comes home com.
pletely bunged up. The next day the
dog goes out, and when the rabbit hob.
bles off he puts in his best licks and soon
captures his prey.-POrtland OregOnian.

Brussels Carpets

The carpets which bear the aSeEe
name are not all made in Brussels. They
arc manufactured both in this country
and England. In regard to their intro
duction in the last mentioned country
the following tradition is preserved at
Kidderminister: During 1870 and 1885,
John Broom travelled through Tournay
and Brussels, studying the stitch which
was then known as Brussels stitch. In
Brussels, particularly, weavers were at
that time making carpet named after
the town-the Brussels carpet. Broom
studied with much earnestness the mys-
terry of the manufacture, and finally
made the acquaintance in Tournay of a
weaver understanding the secret. He
and this weaver Immediately repaired to
England, and near Mount Skipet, Kid
derminster they put up the first Brussels
loom, 1749. They operated with abso-
lutte secrecy, but in time their modus OPP
erandi was exposed. Broom and his
Belgian workman labored night and day,
and it being known where their opera
tions were conducted, some enterprising
fellow climbed to the window, and night
after night, from his perilous perch out
side, he studied the operations of the
mechanism within, until he was able to
carry away in his mind model of the
Brussels loom. Then a second firm and
several Others soon came into the field,
and in 1853 Kiddermnster was doing
considerable in the way of Brussels. To-
day, we are told, there is hardly anything
else but Brussels made in Kidderminster,
and, odd as it may seem, there is scarce.

"Judge Lynch"

The origin of this term has been vari.
ously accounted for. Some say that
in the early days Of Virginia it became
the practice in the western part, now the
Piedmont districts, to refer all lega'
controversies to the foremost men IL
those parts. One of these, by the name
of Lynch, became quite celebrated fol
the good judgment and justice which he
showed in these unauthorized judicial
functions, and was known as Judge
Lynch. His name was easily transfer.
able to the methods he had adopted.
Others claim that Mr.. Lynch, the found
er of Lynchbnrg, Va, is answerab!e for
the name, though in just what manner
the authorities do not state. Another
derivation comes from one Lynch who
was sent to the American waters to sup.
press piracy, and he is thought to have
had authority from the home government
to punish summarily these rovers of the
high seas without any formal legal trial.
Still others state that its origin is due
to James Fitzstephen Lynch, the mayor
of Galway, Ireland, in 1893. This man
traded largely in Spain. On one occasion
he sent his son thithcr to purchase a
cargo of wine. The young Irishman
managed to get rid of the money with
which he had been entrusted. He ran
in debt for the cargo to Spaniard,
whose son or nephew was to accompany
him back to Ireland for the money due
on the wine. The young Scrapegrace
caused the Spaniard to be thrown over.
board to conceal his own defalcation.
Great honor was paid the successful
young merchant.
The old saying that murder will out
proved true in his case. A sailor upon
his dying bed confessed the crime. The
young man was tried before his own
father, convicted and sentenced to be
hanged. The family and friends deter
mined to prevent the execution if posi-
BILE.
The father, like the old Roman Bru.
tus, determined that his sons life should
pay the penalty of his crime, and seeing
that he could not carry out the sentence
in the usual way tried an expedient. He
took his son up winding stairs to o
window overlooking the public street
and with his own hands fastened the
rope about his sons neck to staple in
the wall, and himself acted as execu.

Useful in Many WAYS.

The walrus, says Lieutenant Schwatks,
has about an inch and half to two
inches of blubber directly under his
skin, aud this is used by the natives to
get oil for their lamps while they devoul
large quantities of the blubber, especially
during the severe cold of winter. The
meat and blubber are eaten both cooked
and raw. The tough hide cut into strips
about foot long is used as dog food,
and is the best material in the Arctic
regions for that purpose, half dozen to
dozen of these tidbits given to dog
every other day being sufficient to keep
him in fine condition right along what
ever kind of work he may be doing.
Sometimes the natives cook it for day
or two in their simmering kettles, and it
becomes friable, but otherwise it is as
tough as sole leather, and to eat it it
must be cut in small bits that can be
swallowed at once, as chewing it would
have no more effect than it would on a
trade dollar. In fact, the Russians used
to take walrus hide, and, cutting it into
little bits, coined it into money, and
found it as serviceable as metal.

THE COMING MAN.

The Coming Man sing: the Coming Man
Evolved in nature since the world began
BY Energy Divine: the Man foretold
Forevermore, whom Hope and Faith behold
ALI voices shall he hear, all volumes read:
Probe to the heart of every code and creed;
Gut uncut pages of Creations book;
In life itself for ife's deep secrets look:
Intent his heart and vigilant his brain
The seventh essence of truth to gain
He shall be humble, yet supremely bold
The scroll of Times experience to unfold;
Where Science lifts her daring fambeau higl
He greets the glowing torch with fearless eye
Where, past the known, Religion wings he
fight
His solemn gaze pursues her starry light.
Not knowledge only enters in the plan
And consummation of the Coming Man,
And not belief alone, however true;
The best is not to rest, it is to do;
The Coming Man shall be man of deeds
Employing substance and supplying needs.
His wisest word shall bear a fitting act,
And all his speculation bloom to fact;
The goodness of his ethics he shall prove.
BY logical results of active love.

SONG.

1t is the longest day;
By the summer bay,
In sweet air and light,
We linger until night,
Which but sleeps little while
'Twixt the sunset and dawns smile
Yet now It's sad to think and see
Every day must shorter be,
Every month an hour less bright
Until midwinter white.
But in the dark nights lengthening drear,
Christmas waits us with good cheer,
And pleasant book in fireside nook,
And faces round us dear.
1t Is the shortest day;
Winters sky is gray,
The bleak winds blow,
The world is white with snow,
As by the hearth nook warm,
We hear the wide, wild storm:
But for space each month that DER
Us rolls shall longer grow
By an hour or so;
And it is pleasant through the frore
Weather, still to look before
To coming days, when through the haze
Lifting DER blue sunny bays,
Spring will reach our shore.
