Living On tho Sea.

The kind of food used at sea at the
present day is much improved on what
1T was formerly. Not SO much reliance
is placed on salt provisions. Canned
meats and vegetables are more largely
used. The quantity is, abundant. and
the cooking, while perhaps not always
calculated to agree with q sea-sck per-
son, is usually quite good. except the
bread, which, for some reason or other,
is rarely good at sea. Tho coffeeis not

Suffolk Pigs.

Among the small or middle races of
English pigs breed occurs which is
close akin to the Essex-somewhat
larger in the body and shorter in the
leg, better haired and harder. A
standard authority thus describes them:
''The Black Suffolks Te short on the
leg, long in the body, well coated with
long, silky hair, the forehead broad,
the nose short and Slightly turned up;
ears rather short but broad. with ten
dency to droop forward; splendid
shoulders, great jowls, body wonder
fully symmetrical. The Suffolk more
nearly realizes the theory of the paral-
telegram than any other animal we
know of. The tail is set quite on a
level with his hips; the hams are deep
and Wide" This is high praise. They
are also praised for the excellence of
their pork, freedom from skin diseases.
and general vigor of constitution. They
resemble the Essex in many points, and
are equally valuable for crossing upon
the larger breeds.

Hobbies for Women.

Every woman should have some spe-
cial thing to think about except the
regular weekly round OF dusies; in fact,
some aim in life except that of cooking,
eating and sleeping and the contingent
possibility of dying soon to get rid of
it all. No aim and no. change make
asylums overflow, leave children
motherless and make life not worth the
living. Every woman had her ambi-
tious dreams once, what were they.
To paint? Then let her get water
colors, paint flowers and work at it
every day, if for only half an hour.
If one has but half chance let her
prove that she uses that; that she can
do more than many who, have not only
whole chance; but many chances. -

Full-Blood and Thoroughbred.

In popular language the terms are
synonymous. When used in reference
to horses, there is well-defned differ
ence between them, which it would ar
que ignorance to neglect. Some writ
ers seek to establish difference also,
when they are used in relation to sheep,
and in this way: A full-blood is one in
whose veins there is no admixture or
STAN of any other blood but the Spanish.
while a thoroughbred is all that and
something more. A sheep may be a
full-blood (pure blood would be better
term), and yet be SO deficient in form
or fleece. as to be unfit for breeder
But a thoroughbred is the outcome of a
long line of ancestors, which, beginning
with pure blood, have been so consume
ately nodded BY man to special pur-
pose, that this last and finished product
is, so to speak, incapable of begetting
or bearing u progeny different from it.
self. While these ought to be, and
with accurate men are, the definitions
of the two terms, in popular usage they
are not, and are constantly misapplied.
All lions, ali tigers, all animals in
state of nature are full -b!oods, pure
bloods, average types of their respcc-
tive races; but not all of them are thor
oughbreds; that is, not all of them are
so even in al. their qualities, and so
sound in their constitutions. as to be
able to produce progeny up to the level
OF the races standard. They are weedcd
out by natural selection;. they are ILL.,
formed, or weak. or lacking in cunning,
and they perish in the struggle of life.

HORSES AS NOVELTIES.
Tho First That were Seen In tn
Sandwich Islands.

| soon
| Sandwich Islands.
In 1903 Capt. Richard Cleveland. OF
Salem. took to the Sandwich islands
several horses. an event thus recorded
in his life by his own son, just publish
ed by the Harpers:
Touching at Cape St. Lucas, where
they purchased "another pretty mare
and foal. I" for which they paid in goods
which cost in Europe one and half
dollars. they took their departure on
the 30th of May and arrived at Kara
karoa bay, Sandwich islands, on the
21st of June. They found it was the
season of periodical taboo, during
which no canoes were allowed to stir;
but the next day John Young came on
board and told them that the king was
at Mowee.
Young was very desirous of having
one OF the horses. and, thinking that
the probability of their increase would
be better secured by leaving them in
different places, they next day moved
| to Iooagah bay, near Young's resi-
dence, and landed the mare, of which
he took charge. This was the first
horse ever seen in Owyhee, and natur-
ally excited great astonshment among
the natives.
From here they went to Mowee and
were first boarded by Isaac Davis, who,
with John Young, comprised at the
time the European population OF tho
islands.
Soon after large double canoe came
on. from which a powerfully ath-
letlc man, nearly naked, came on board
and was introduced by Davis as Ia
maahmaah, the great king. His recep-
ton OF them was not such as they had an
ticipated, nor could they account for
his apparent GOODNESS and lack of in
terest,. except on the supposition that it
was mere atfectation. He took only a
careless look at the horses, and return
ed to the shore without expressing any
curiosity about them. His subjects,
however, were not restrained bv any
desire to appear unconcerned. The
news OF the arrival of the wonderful
animals spread rapidly, the decks were
crowded with visitors. and next dav,
when they were landed, a great multi
tude assembled, evidently with no def
mite conception of any use that could be
made of them. AS might be expected
from people who had never seen
larger animal than pig. they were at
first afraid to approach them. and their
amazement reached its climax when
one of the sailors mounted che back of
one of them and galloped up and down
upon the beach. They were greatly
alarmed at first, for the safety of the
rider, but when they saw how COM
pletely he cotrolled the animal, and
how submissively and quietly the latter
eSerted his powers in obedience to his
will, they seemed 10 have dawning
conception of the value of such pos
session and rent the air with shouts of
admiration.
The king, however, could not be be-
trayed into any expression OF wonder or
surprise, and, although he expressed
his thanks when told they were pres
ent to himself, he only remarked that
he could not perceive that their ability
to carry man quickly from one place
to another would be sufficient COM
pensation for the great amount of food
| they would necessarily require.

IN TIE MATTER OF A SCHOOL ON HARD
LABOR.
Appeal Of Citizens Praying to be Al
lowed to Have n Public School on
the East Side of Hard Labor Creek.

To the County Board of Examiners for At6e-
UHle County,:
GESTLEMES-We the undersigned patrons
of school in the Sth township respectfully
appeal and herein present some OF the causes
Of which we complain.
We had petitoncd the Board of Trustees OF
the 9Th township TO grant us a school on the
e,lSt side of Hard LABOR Creek:
Because we had the requisite number OF
children Uf the lawful age-most of them
girls; that the crossings of the said creek
were badly kept, and for most of the winter
and spring months impraclicable for small
located. and without cost to the township,
had been procured; and that the services OF
a teacher That we deemed would suit us had
been engaged.
Now that this petition has not been Of any
avail, and that the majority of the Trustees
have refused TO sign and forward the report ol
our teacher for the month OF tebruary, ana
have declined to recognize that we have any
right to any share in the school fund, we beg
leave to call your attention to some OF the
facts as they appear to and affect us;
lst. That the east side of Hard Labor Greek
has no representation on the Board of Trus-
tees for the Sth township.
2nd That about two-thirds Of the 8th town
ship is situated on the east side OF said creek
3rt That the Trustees for the Sth town
ship reside within Il mile and Il half OF each
other on one and the same road.
4th. That two Of the Trustees are patrons
Of the school to which they propose to com
9Th. That it is not our purpose to antago
nize any school but to ask for tnat whleh we
planned by you in your circular Of suggestions
to Trustees.
9Th. That school located as we have asked
would be nearer the center of the toWnshlp
and accessible to number of children VINO
are at present without representation, anc
will not be provided for In the neAC annua
apportionment of the school fund.
7th. That it is not of the distance, but tht
natural obstacles that intervene between u
and the school on the west side of Hard La
Dor creek that we complain; some OF us nave
for years endeavored to derive oenent IRON
said school, but have found the effort attend
ed with many disadvantages, and the resui
very unsatisfactory.

tition to the Trustees we were encouraged u

no good reason why they could not compiA

9th. That we are willing, from our privat
resources, to supplement any aid that we re
ceive from the school fund to the extent O
our ability.
