CHOLERA'S HARVEST.
The Dread Disease Appears in
European Ports.
Precautions Against It's Entrance
Into his Country.

Asiatic cholera is now adm ittedly present
In three of the great Northern European
ports-Hamburg, Antwerp, and Havre--
ard considerable alarm exists in all the
leading cities. A Hamburg dispatch says:
Cholera has broken out in all parts of
the city and its suburbs, although the out
break is worse in the harbor quarter. 10
day $40 persons were attacked, and 100
cases proved fatal. Several of the worst
infected streets have been closet by the
police. Professor Koch declares that he has
found several true cases Of Asiatic cholera.
Twenty-saven cases were reported in Altoona
to-day. The thermometer registered ninety
Seven in the shade. 10 to this even
ing there have been 21O undisputed
cases Of Asiatic cholera in this city;
seventy of them have been fatal. There have
been, moreover, about 200 cases which are
said to have been cholerine, but are be-
heved to have been of the genuine
Asiatic type. About sixty-ive of these
have been fatal. The hospitals and
morgues in the city are filed, most of
the cholera cases are among the poor, who
are unable to give the patients the proper
treatment. The ambulances are in constant
use. On account of the extreme heat and
drought the Elbe is exceptionally low, and
consequently the water has been polluted by
sewers to an unusual extent"
An Antwerp Belgium dispatch says:
''Since noon'yesterday.ivepe who were
suffering from cholera and were admitted
to the hospital died in few hours after
their admission. The Sanitary Board
has ordered most rigorous inspec-
ton of all vessels arriving from Ham
burg, the Rhine ports and from
France. The doctors were loath to admit
that the disease was Asiatic cholera, but
they were finally compelled to acknowledge
that the scourge of the East had appeared
here. The announcement that the fatal
scourge has appeared here has caused feel
ing of apprehension, and many of the
yyealthier residents are making preparations
to leave the city"
On the same day that the aboYe dispatches
were received a cablegram from Paris stated
there had been recorded during the day
.forty-six cases of cholera and thirteen deaths
In Havre
An official report from st. Petersburg on
the subjecG of cholera says that the mortality
exceeds $500 daily. Nearly every garrison
in Russia has been attacked by the pestil-
ence.
The cholera scourge RACES with unchecked
virulence through bout Persia, and countless
corpses lie everywhere uuburied. Notwith-
standing the urgent orders of the Govern
ment the Mollahs, or clergy, refuse to per-
form the last rites required in the case of
the dead as preliminary to burial
The rites include the washing Of the bodies,
and this the Molahs positively dacline to
perform when death has been caused by
cholera. The drivers OF the donkeys that
carry the mail have deserted the service
and communication is everywhere suspend
ad, except where the telegraph reaches.

In this country only is the turkey
found in wild state. 1t is very fitting,
therefore, that in the Christmas dinner
it should be the principal dish. The
turkey must be wisely chosen, well
cooked and properly served. It should
be short and plump, the meat white,
with some fat, the legs black and smooth;
RSd T. there be spurs they should be
short. The end of the breastbone should
be flexible, more like gristle than bone,
A turkey that is long in proportion to
its size, and has dark or BLUSH flesh,
may be tender, but certainly will not be
finely favored and juicy. A dry picked
turkey will be found to have a much
better flavor than scalded one. All
poultry that is dry picked costs few
cents pound more than the scalded,
but is well worth the extra price.-Maria
Parloa in Ladies' Home Journal.

5. Special attention has been called
to the extensive and destructive fires
that annually sweep large areas OF the
finest forests in the world situate in the
Coast mountains and Cascade range, and
in the Blue mountains in Eastern Oregon.
g. Many excellent reports of the OBJ
servance of Arbor Day, last year, have
been received from principals and
teachers of our public schools Some of
these reports indicate that special and
valuable results have been secured in the
organization of local clubs for the pre-
servation and extension of our forests.
It is hoped that the law in reference
to Arbor Day may be complied with until
every school district in the state shall
take part therein
A supply Of printed programmes will
be sent to seaah Superindent this week.
County and City superintendent are
earnestly requested to supply each school
under their charge Cat the earliest prae-
ticable day. with at least one copy, and,
it ISIS suggested here, also, that all Super

s In q down town cafe the other day
met two gentlemen whose names will
recall remarkable men and remarkable
events in American history. They were
Lieutenant Fremont aud Lieutenant
Lawrence, of the United States navy.
The former is the son of the late distin-
guished John @. Fremont, "the Path
finder" who ran for president of the
United States, and the other was Law
renee, the grandson of the hero of Lake
Erie, old "don't give up the ship" That
these two gentlemen should come into
the,New York lunch room for something
to eat and drink was nothing remark
able, hut that they should come in arm
and arm, two naval chums, was some
thing sufficient to stir the imagination.
Lieutenant Fremont is attached to the
new cruiser Philadelphia. He is a fine
specimen of manhood, as was his father
before him.-New York Herald.

The Buffalo Strike.

Theodore Voorhees, in North American
Review.
The lesson of the Buffalo strike further
show the hopeiessness of any strike that,
first does not have the sympathy, support,
and countenance of the press; and, second
of any strike that depends in any measure
whatever for success on possible violence or
intimidation. ON the other hand, where Il
strike is the ultimate effort on the part of
the employees to obtain justice for fair de-
mands from corporation, and where their
efforts are countenanced by the power of
public opinion, such a one will almost inev-
ltably prove successful. \ few of the labor
organizations that have to do with railroad
service recognize this, and do not permit or
countenance any strike until every effort
has been made to bring about an amicable
settlement of the question at issue. Others,
such as the Switchmens Union, are organi-
cations whose chief cause of being is to
band together employees in specific branch

their pay by pressure brought 10 bear upon

The HAlIeluiah Chorus.

The National Review is authority for
the statement that the custom of rising at
the "Halleluiah Chorus" which has con
tinued to the present day, was begun on
March g. 1913. at the first performance OF

example. Apropos of The Messiah, II Is
interesting TO learn that when Handel
went to Dublin in the autumn of III he
took with him the score OF this oratorio,
which he completed in the incredibly short
space of twenty-three days-namely, be
tween Aug. ~ and Sept. Il of that year.
This great work was first heard in Dublin,
where it was given for the benefit OF vari-

lion produced by The Messiah" was pro
found, and its triumphant success was
never for one moment questioned.
