victs, the native born represented 1880
per cent. and the foreign born 1919 per
cent, while the place Of birth OF

This word affords an instance of the
way in which slang words in the course
of time became adopted into current Eng
lish. We now meet with pluck and
plucky as the recognized equivalents of
courage and courageous" An entry
in Sir Walter SCOTS journal" shows
that in 1927 the word had not yet lost its
low character. lie says (vol. II, p. 3C),
"Want Of that article blackguardly
called pluck" Its origin is obvious.
From early times the heart has been
popularity regarded as the seat of cour-
age. Now, when a butcher lays open u
carcass he divides the great vessels Of the
heart, cuts through the windpipe and
then plucks out together the united

time this week that, rs our mind turns

YOU should at least share some kuowl'

credit of Superintendent Troy shelley,
that he has been untiring in his efforts
To secure the best instructors for the
day work, and to enlist the services of
the teachers and others for evening en-
tertainmeuts, which have been one of
the principal features of the work.
Nearly all of the first grade teachers Of
the county have had nh interesting
paper on some live topic.
The Alba club, consisting of nine
young Indies, and the Glee club, COM
posed of five members, have rendered
some beautiful selections in singing
each evening. Mrs. Wet2ell, well
known as one of Portland's best sing
ers, has favored the institute with some
songs and will sing at the Congrega-
tional church, where the evening eXer-
cises are held.
Col. Nevius will talk this evening on
Figs and Thistles," and Mis- Long,
the noted elocutionist from Portland,
will read Thursday and Friday even
ings.
Prof. w. \. Wetzell, county superin-
tendent of Multnomah county, and
Prof. J. II. Ackerman, assistant super
intendent of the schools of consolidated
Portland, are our instructors. They
just lift us out of our boots, as it were,
and we know we will return to the
school room and do better work. The
former has presented the Subjects of
reading, writing, spelling and history
with such energy as to really make us
see new life in them. His "Use of
Words" surpasses anything we have
ever heard. The latter has those solid
arithmetic, grammar, geog-
raphy and physiology, and with his
deep knowledge of them and magnetic
influence in presenting them, he incul

Necessary to successful work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith French brought
several nice boxes of peaches to the
teachers while in session yesterday.
They were taken from their own trees,
and we were justified in returning
vote of thanks, for they were the incest
we ever saw.
The weather has been hot, and how
attention has been so undivided in
class work is the comment of all.
Up to the present there are fifty
enrolled, and many visitors
have been in attendance every day.

Anecdote of Michael Angelo,

Michael Angelo, at time when Italy
paid SO much attention to ancient art
that modern had no chance of being
judged fairly, had, it is said, resort to a
stratagem to teach the critics the fallacy
of shaping their judgments by fashion
or reputation. He sculptured statue
representing sleeping beauty and break
ing off an arm buried it in u place where
excavations were being made. 1t was
soon found and lauded by critics and
the public as a valuable relic of antiqui-
ty, far superior to anything done for
centuries. When Angelo thought it
had gone far enough he produced the
broken arm, and, to the great nortiica-
tion of the critics, revealed himself as
the sculptor. New York Ledger.

/ The interior of Labrador undoubtedly
is the largest unexplored area ON this
continent. Up the Grand river, which
empties into the Atlantic ocean nc Ham.
ilton inlet, are the Grand falls, which,
if everything is true about them that is
reported, are the most stupendous falls
in the world, They are only about 100
miles up the river, hut only two white
men have ever seen them. Mr.. h. f.
Holme three years ago went from Eng
land To visit the Grand falls.
He organized a little party to accom-
pany him inland, and arrived within
about fifty miles of the falls, when he
was compelled to return on account of
the failure of his provisions. The Labrl-
dor Indians say these falls are haunted,
and they carefully avoid them, believing
that they will die if they look upon
them. Tho two white men who have
seen them are Mr.. Maclean, who, as he
was ascending the river in 1889. WAS
stopped by the falls, and Mr.. Kennedy,
who over thirty years ago had charge of
Hudson Bay post, in Labrador. Mr..
Holme says the height of the falls is not
certainly known, but in some respects
there is little doubt they are the greatest
in the world.-Goldthwaite's Geographi-
cal Magazine.

One of the mistakes Of the times is the
popular belief that everything i'll u bust
ness way must be big The idea has
grown out of our haste to grow wealthy
and from superficial calculation, such as,
if one acre pays $lOO, 100 acres would
pay $4,000. Men seldom make such
money out of vary large orchards, and
while source Of envy TO small holders
they are often, in fact, just holding on
or are running ahead on borrowed capi.
tai. The men who make money and are
getting rich out of horticultural pursuits
are those who do not attempt more than
they can look after personally. From
ten to eighty acres are the sized tracts
which pay the highest per cent. Of profit,
if they are properly conducted. The
idea that a living cannot be made out of
small place has retarded many from 90
ing into business in which they might
now be making an independent living. -
