geological Nomenclature.

The buffalo in the United States is
a bison; the partridge of Michigan
and pheasant of Pennsylvania and
other states is a ruffied grouse;
the rabbit. so plentiful in the mar
ket at times, is hare. Both species
of grouse. the rufled and the pinnat-
ed, are called pheasant, partridge
and patrige, and the pinnated grouse
is universally referred to as the prai-
rie chicken. Prairie chicken is not a
bad name for tho pinpated grouse,
for it is original and does not CON
found it with other birds, but it is
not right to use the names partridge
and pheasant when referring TO our
grouse, for these are the correct

ing about the dishonesty Of pensions
and about honest money politics would
apply a few Of its principles among the
Portland bankers and public men who
have S3OO. 900 Of state funds in hiding,
IL would do the state a great favor.
1t is a downright piece Of imperti-
nepee to talk about the necessity OF
more honest money and then not real
ize the necessity Of honestly accounting
for such money as the people have paid
over in taxes and are robbed Of the use
Of It at Portland.
More honesty Is wanted right at
Portland. That city and county owe
the state $500, ,OOJ taxes. The state war
rants draw per cent interest, and that
money is probably drawing 10 or II pei

Work of an Indignant Small Boy.


The other day a young girl in one
of the down town stores invited a
few of the girls to her home. 1t was
to be a girls party, and the young
men were not in it. Exception was
made, however, in favor of the little
brother. But the youthful scion of
the family was indignant. He didn't
see any fun in a crowd of girls and
managed to play game on them.
The following morning the girls were
Mortified at seeing paragraph in one
of the daily papers. He senta notice
to every editor In town to the effect
that IAN old maid convention" was
held at their home giving his sis
ter's name and address in fulD to
promote good fellowship and boy
colt all male friends. He invented a
board of officers for the occasion, in
which every one present figured, and
described the entertainment as in
cluding whistling solos and high
kicking. The old maids are still in
their teens. and as for high kicking,
they are perfectly shocked at the
idea. Boston Globe.

Americans have undoubtedly no
ticed that most of the prominent men
who have visited here voluntarily or
in exile have the prefix DIR. before
their names. Also, that many of the
presidents Of these republics are ap-
parently physicians. for instance DIR.
Nunez, president of Colombia. But
they are not all physicians. Law
yers in these countries graduate with
the degree that entities this prefix,
and if our own Chauncey Depew
should visit there he would be con-
sidered lawyer. Many go through
college Just for this honor, having
no intention to practice law or medi-
cine.
THE standard of education is
higher than we suppose and the col
legiate courses much more rigorous.
In theology the student spends four
years in college, medicine five years
and law seven years or double the
time required here to graduate.
Again, while a physician may pass
an examination to practice in de-
partment or district in a republic, he
must pass higher examination to
practice in the entire country. Prac-
titioners coming from this or other
countries must also pass an exaInina-
ton before being admitted to prac-
tice, and interstate or foreign diplo-
mas are not recognized as here. y

A south American City.

The old town of Asuncion presents
half oriental, half mediRval, appear
ance, its few splendid palaces, which
belong to the late dictators and their
families and favorites, sandwiched
among huts of mud and cane, with
bark roofs and one window apiece.
Palms, bananas, passion flowers and
other tropical plants and blooms
abound, but you meet few people, and
those are mostly women. The grassy
streets have sad, deserted look, con
stantly reminding one that the sons
and husbands and lovers and broth
ers perished on the battlefields or
died of starvation in hiding or rot
ted in prison, as thousands did who
were ignorant even of what they
were accused or were tortured and
murdered by the three tyrants who
ruled and ruined the country.
Here women do the work that in
other parts of the world is monopo-
lized by the stronger sex, such as
cleaning the streets, loading the
ships, driving the OK carts, cultivat-
ing the fields, carrying on the mar
kets, etc., and it is said that during
the long, hard war they made the
best and bravest soldiers. Naturally
where men are in the proportion of
one to seven they are at higher
premium than elsewhere, and in Par
aguay they are fguratively kept in
cotton wool by their admiring female
relatives. Fannie B. Wards Letter.

CHICAGO, Ills, July 81.
The attendance at the fair seems to
be lust large enough for the comfort of
All. Either the space is iDexbaustiole
or the crowd adjusts itself to suit the
capacity of the grounds.
There Is more 70 see than any living
being can take In 10 three months, but
happily no one cares to zee it all.
We have been here but q few days
from Iowa and are just beginning to
get a general idea Of the grounds and
buildings. or course we have been t.

building, as well as tn the agricultural
display. The former is 10 charge OF

rior to any on the grounds, bat OF

here TO equal it.
In the Agricultural department Supt.
VIM. II. Savage has made an excellent
record for putting up good display
with very little means at bis command.
Our cereals must certainly carry of the
highest honors, as there is no grain
here of as fine straw or kernel. Other
wheat states, however, will try to down
Oregon's superior grain because II
Is not as hard as some. for they certain
ly cannot compete with IL in size, yield
or beauty OF color. Bot there are TO-
600 diplomas to be distributed among
40 states, 30 the coast will probably get
some recognition. Marion county has
without a doubt a. good display as
any county from any state in the
Union. This may sound like strong
statement, but cannot doubt 1t. In
hops, grain and fruit she stands at the
head, and In many other branches
shows excellent products.
There are electrical and pyrotechnic
displays every evening which excel IN
brillIancy and grandeur anything ol
the kind ever attempted, and one gets
90 much for the price Of admission that

that is marvellous. The sight of the
