NOTES AND NEWS.

William Cochran, aged Ga, fell
dead Friday morning at his home
in Looking Glass, Douglas county.
at the breakfast table from heart
disease. He had been as well as
usual up 10 the time of his death
He had been engaged in the mer-
chandise business at Looking
Glass for the past Is years, and
was well-to-do. He leaves a wife
and several married sons and
daughters TO mourn their loss.
1t seems to be a pretty well
settled that the fare to the worlds
fair. from Oregon and return will
be $9S.50. But the railroads have
had considerable disagreement o1
late, and the rate may yet he
further reduced.
Prof. NJ. g. Royal has beer
chosen president of the new nor.
NAL school at Weston, for the sup
port of which the recent legislat
ure made an appropriation of $24,.
O00.. At recent meeting of the
board of regents it was decided to
expend $4,000 in providing
suitable quarters for the school
in the way of finishing up the low
er story of a 12-room house; also
to adopt course of study similar
in outline to that in use at the
state normal school at Monmouth.
This course was thought best in
view of the fact that state diplo-
mas are to be, given to graduates.
and as both institutions are under
state patronage, uniform course
Of study seemed desirable. The
faculty was chosen wholly from
normal school graduates, and the
choice may be taken as an indica-
ton that a thoroughly normal
bent will be given to the instrnc-
tions impaired.
Two cases have been decided at
Phoenix, A. r., against the South.
ern Pacific railroad-one for $1S,.
600, and the other $4,000. The
suits were for deaths and injuries
caused by the company's trains
Heretofore death in Arizona has
been regarded as a light matter
but it appears now that dowr
there life is held in higher esteem
than it is in other sections where
the price has been fixed at iron
$4,000 to $4,000.

Laplar's Long Hair.

There is young lady now prominent
in Washington society to whom as a
little girl Lamar revealed one blood
curdling reminisceuce He was accus-
toned to visit her fathers house and
had often noticed her gazing curious1y
at his hair, which he wore very long
and fiat to the sides of his head. One
day he said to her: My dear, you look
as if you wanted to ask me something.
What is it,
IF you please, MIR. Lamar" she an
swered, why do you wear your hair
that way at the sidesy' Lamar drew on
his most serious expression, and in low
hoarse whisper between his lifted palms
he replied, Because, nay dear. I--once
-hand-a-fght--with-a-man- and
-he-cut-otf-my For long
time afterward the little girl was struck
with chill Of horror every time she
looked at him. until one day in the
midst of gesture he swung his hair
back far enough to assure her that his
head was supplied with its normal COM
plement Of members. But she never, to
the day of his death, entirely got over
the effect made upon her by the pretend
ed dread secret.-Kate Fields Washing

A Common Supply Kitchen.

Two experiments have been inaugu-
rated-one in Philadelphia, the other in
Cleveland-which will be watched with
interest by all the fellow sufferers of
those who have been driven by despera-
ton into attempts to solve the house
keeping problem. The plan is to have a
central supply kitchen, in charge of the
best cooks. From this central kitchen
cooked food will be furnished to families
and individuals, to be eaten at home. If
the plan succeeds, it will combine all the
best features of both housekeeping and
hotel life, leaving out the unpleasant
ones. Something Of this kind must be
done, for the servant girl problem has
become SO pressing that a solution must
be found.
The Cleveland experiment will be made
in block of 40 connected houses. From
each extends covered passageway to a
central building. In this central struc-
ture is plant which furnishes light and
heat to all the houses. Under its roof
are the common laundry and kitchen,
also the storehouse in which the food.
fuel, ETC., are kept. A telephone con-
meets the central building with each
house. BY this means food can be or
dered or information obtained. It is a
dream of bliss, this housekeeping by
wholesale, and those who are engaged in
1t are warned that the hopes of humanity
rest on their experiment. therefore let
them take double pains that their scheme
fail not. The Philadelphia association is
somewhat similar. Before it was fully
organized its promoters had more appli-
cants from those desiring to be members
than they could accommodate.
There seems no greater difficulty in
the way of successfully running such a
cooperative housekeeping establishment
than there is in conducting first class
hotel, and that is done in every city in
the Union. Much will have to be learned.
The co-operators will need to curb their
grumbling propensities and their dispo-
sition to boss one another. They will
have 10 learn that in every association
IL il is to exist at all, each member must
give mp some of his individual prefer
ences. Above all, Que must not expect
other people to be nearer perfect than he
himself is. Reasonsblsness and eood
nature on the part Of patrons, business
ability and business methods on the part
Of managers. will make succeas Of co
operative housekeeping.

The Meaning of TeIepathy.

Few people would be apt to under
stand what you meant if you talked to
them about ''telepathy." New sciences
spring mp so rapidly nowadays that it is
hard work to keep track of the new
words coined for them. Telepathy is re-
lated in meaning TO telegraphy, in that
it is sort OF mental telegraphy, or feel
ing at a distance, being derived from the
Greek, pathos, feeling and tele, at dis
lance. 1t is only new and more scien-
tific name, however, for what we com
monty speak of as mind reading, though
not all mind reading is telepathy.
Richard Hodson, secretary of the So
ciety for Psychical Research, defines te-
lepathy as the ability of one mind to i'm
press or be impressed by another mind
otherwise than through the recognized
channels Of sense. and cites some remark
able instances of mind reading and
thought transference investigated by the
society. These, he thinks, confirm the
conclusion that thought transference is a
reality.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiser

THE EVERLASTING GHOST.
A Phantom That Has Made Little Prog
ress In Thousantls at Years.


A Phantom That Has Made Little Prog
ress In Thousands of Years.
We are asked to believe in ghosts be
cause in every age there have been ghos
stories. But would it not be more nat
ural to suppose that in every age the hu
man mind has been subject to aberra
tons, and that some specific weakness OF
irregularity Of the mental constitution OF
of the physical organ, the brain, ON which
all tl.nl.' $50 far as we are aware, de
ponds, Eaa "~o3ably given rise to this
particuai 50 Of authorizations?
We cGnu, pretend as yet to know the
mind thoroughly in health and disease,
but this we do know, that there are thou
sands and millions of persons whose lives
are never intruded ON by ghosts and
who know absolutely nothing of occult
phenomena. According to a reverend
/ gentleman's figures, only one woman in
! twelve and one man in ten has had any
occult experiences. Now, what we
should like very much to have would be
a further analysis Of these figures show
ing the percentage Of Eighty or other
wise i'll balanced minds among the soc
cult" and the "nonoccult" Gf we may so
apply the words classes respectively.
Our own experience would lead us 10
believe that the proportion would be
vastly larger in the former class than in
the latter. Who has not known many
examples of the tremulous, nervous, by
persensitive, wonder loving, hysterical
or semihysterical type of constitution
among the devotees of ghost lore? And
if such examples occur, as we believe
they must, to the mind of every one, is
it not at least probable inference that
"occultism" in its various phases has
something to do with that kind of mind?
The ghost may be very ancient, but we
do not believe in him the more. The
trouble about him is that he has made
no progress since the earliest times. In
fact, on the whole, he has fallen back.
We should not be disposed to talk of the
deviation" of Elijah ourselves had not
the Rev. Mr.. Haweis used the term be-
fore us. But if, following the reverend
gentleman's lead, we consider the proph-
cts alleged translation in that light, |
surely it was a most successful feat in
deviation and little ahead of any
thing the modern world can show.
And, speaking generally the appari- |
tons and visions ana other spiritual or
occult phenomena of ancient times had |
more body" to them than those of our
own day. If therefore the ghost has
made no progress in the course of three
or four thousand years. if he is just as
uninstructive and inconsequent phe-
nomenon now as he was when we first
encountered him, if not little more so, |
we may perhaps be pardoned for think
ing that he may be safely and fairly ig-
nored by people who have an average
amount of business to attend to.-Pop-
ular Science Monthly.

The movement towards furnishing
the public schools of the state with
libraries is one Of the gratifying signs
of the times and indicates an upward
tendency in educational matters. The
question is being agitated in Whatcem
county, and with excellent results, the
children themselves entering heartily
into the plan and doing good work in
selling tickets and insisting ON their
parents attending the entertainments
given for the benefit of this worthy
object. To educate the school children
to enjoy good literature is one of the
highest ideals of the true teacher, and
this cannot be better accomplished
than through the possession of a
library, by means of which the child's
taste can be developed and cultivated.

The county commissioners have APP
pointed a committee to investigate the
merits of the proposed new road around
the north of Mt. Baker, provision for
which was made by an act of the legis-
lature. The governor had already APP
pointed state board to perform this
work, the members of which are re-
ported as feeling aggrieved over the ac-
ton Of the county commissioners in
not turning the entire matter over to
them. 1t is to be hoped that no OBJ
stacle will be placed in the way of re-
eeIving the money appropriated by the
state for the proposed road, and yet the
county commissioners are to be COM
mended for their zeal in looking after
what they consider the best interests of
the county in the matter Of public ex-
penditures. Whateom county certainly
needs good roads in every part of her
borders, but for the county commits
sioners to completely ignore everything
which has of late appeared in the news
papers concerning the northern route
around Mt. Baker and without investi-
CATION into the merits of the case, to
hand over 1000 of the public money,
would manifest a carelessness and lack
Of business method sufficient TO awaken
grave doubts as to their fitness for the
responsibilities Of their office.

Governor McGraw is making a
serious mistake I'm not shutting off the
sentimental gush which fills the edi-
torial columns Of the Post.Intelligencer
In praise Of his appointments and other
executive acts. II ought TO go without
the saying that his appointments on
the various state boards and commits.
sions were not made "to reward
friends" The fact that the Pr. So
constantly reiterates this statement has
a suspicious odor Of whistling to keep
up courage or 70 ward off inquiry.
With no intention whatever Of speak
ing an unfriendly word concerning the
governor. it may be accepted as a good
working theory that if his conduct in
Office requires the constant endorse
ment Of the P.-I the sunlight Of a
public inspection would reveal some
kind Of crOOkedness. 1t is not nece=-
sary to perpetually laud a man for
honesty unless his honesty be doubted.

Ii will be news to many Americans
that in spite Of cur enormous cotton crop
we last year imported SO, 100000 worth
of Egyptian cotton. The best cotton in
the world is grown in our own sea is
lands around Charleston, but as that
can be grown only over limited area
it is proposed to try whether the Egyp-
tan plant will not thrive in the rest of
the cotton region. The Egyptian prod
uct is next to the sea island in fneness
and length of fiber The United States
agricultural department has purchased
seed from Egypt and will distribute it
among the experiment stations of the
southern states, so that they may raise
from it, If possible, an American-Egyp-
tan cotton that will do away with the
need of importing this staple at all in
future. The history of the introduction
Of rice growing into the United States is
a story full Of romantic interest. That
of the introduction of Egyptian cotton
will not be 30 romantic, but the project
may turn out quite as important in its
results as rice growing has done.

The st. Joe Herald gives the follow
ing advice with respect to the best time
for visiting the Worlds fair:
Go in May, because 1t won't be so
crowded in May.
Go in June. because June is just June,
and June in Chicago is out of sight.
Go in July, because the way the lake
breezes temper the suns rays to the
painting lamb is something peculiarly
Chicagoese.
Go In August for the same reason
Go in September. because the skies are
like the celestial visions John saw and the
air like Olympian nectar.
Go In October. because # IS the last
month, and II you don't see the fair you
are lost.

The Portland oregonian says that
Herbert Spencer is in the habit Of
spending leisure afternoon ia the
Atheneum, the famous club for
scholars. Here he occasionally plays a
game at billiards. a young man who
was recently introduced TO him asked
II he would join him in a game. The
philosopher assented, and started the
balls, He left them in good position,
and the young man, who was an ex.
pert, finished the game in one break
not allowing the philosopher to get
another shot. The young man smil.
ingly looked at his opponent to receive
the fatter's compliments. Mr.. Spencer
looked serious as he said: "Sir, mod.
crate proficiency in such sport is a sign
Of good education; such mastership
however, as you exhibit, is the proof Of
an ifl-spent youth" Then he took his
hat and disappeared.

Power Instead of Coal.

Present signs point to human achieve
ments which will turn into insignifcance
even the great things which man has al.
ready done. In 1879 Dr.. Siemens spoke
of the practicabiity Of transmitting
power instead Of fuel directly from coal
mines to manufacturing centers where it
is wanted-that is to say, instead of con-
veying thousands Of carloads of coal
from the mines over hundreds of miles
the mine owners would simply burn the
coal at the mines turn it into steam
which would generate electricity, and
that could be sent hundreds of miles to
manufacturers instead Of the coal
Mr.. Thwaites, an English electrician,
advocates the same plan. Conveying the
coal from the fields to the cities and
manufacturing plants doubles the cost
Gift AT the same time there is the cost
Of the furnaces, boilers and engines and
the space they occupy, as well as the cost
Of the labor required to take care of them.
When all this is considered. if the trans
mission Of power electrically is practi-
cable at al. it will be undoubtedly cheap
er as well as pleasanter.
This Transmission of power electrically
already promises well in case Of the
works that utilize the Niagara current.
Tbs next step in the progress of indus
trial science will be TO transmit it from
coal mines

We learn that the nose Of Socrates was
not Greek, but such as Greek artists
usually assigned to satyrs. Occasional
ly, as in beautiful group Of a satyr
playing dice with a nymph ON bronze
mirror, they gave satyrs another kind Of
nose. The noses Of the ladies in the
Tanagra terra Gotta are of all agreeable
orders of nose, not necessarily Greek.
The chances are that the Greeks varied
as much as we do in their noses, while
the tradition Of their art preferred the
conventional straight nose. In the same
way the kind of Romans who had their
portraits done en coins and gems were
just the sort Of energetic, conquering
people who have Roman noses every
where, like William Of Orange and the
Duke Of Wellington London Saturday
