Tho wind scraped the Mast Clean.

CAPTAIN Hurlbut of the British bark
Bowman B. Law considers himself for
tunate in coming out of terrible ty-
phoon in the China seas, not without a
scratch, but without the loss of any, OF
his crew or even of spar or sail. This
is his experience as he related it:
eve left Sourabaya, Java, bound for
the Columbia river. All went well for
the first week. The men put in their
time well about the ship, and one par
ticular job that was attended to was
painting the mizzentopmast. This was
wood, the other masts and topmasts
being iron. I noticed that the paint on
the spar blistered more or less under the
tropical sun.
Zone fine afternoon, under a clear
sky. the storm came on us. There was
hardly any warning. The typhoon shot
out of the gulf of Siam as though it
came from cannon. What in the dis
lance was ripple on the surface of the
sea, as it approached us became feath-
ery. foam dashed mass of waves, and
the next instant the hurricane struck u.s.
All sail was slowed away, and we tore
ahead under bare poles at locomotive
speed. When the fury of the typhoon
abated, we found everything intact. The
mizzentopmast, however, was bare Of
paint. The wind had blown the blisters
off, and nothing remained but the I'M
covered wood. Portland Oregonian.

Arkansas.

The Little Rock Gazette has got every
body mixed up by bringing forward a
new pronunciation Of the name Arkan-
sas. No one but Englishmen or Bosto-
mans pronounce the word as tits spelled.
It was understood that the legislature of
the state some years ago officially fixed
the pronunciation as Arkansaw. Here
comes The Gazette, however, with a
poem entitled my Happy Little Home
In Arkansas in which the final syllable
of Arkansas is made to rhyme first with
.flow" and then with 'below." This
indicates that the native pronunciation
of the name is not Arkansaw but Arkan-
sow, and we are at sea again. The Ar
kansawyers or the Arkansowers should
settle this matter once for all. 1t is De-
coming puzzling and annoying. Per
haps Mr.. Opie Read, the Arkansaw
Traveller, could put an end to the dis
pute.-Chicago Herald.

A National Bouquet"


Among the many suggestions concern
ing a national flower, one which comes
from a Vermont farmer has decided
point and interest. He proposes that we
shall not attempt to settle upon ma
tional flower, but let each state choose a
state flower, and have national bou-
quet," composed of all the state flowers.
Already certain of the states have en-
blems which would make very appro-
pirate and pretty elements in such a
great American nosegay.
Massachusetts people prefer the trail
ing arbutus for an emblem. California,
on the other side of the continent, has by
law adopted the eschscholtzia or poppy
as its state flower The cedar sprig OF
Vermont and the pine branch of Maine
would contribute needed tinge OF green
to the nosegay, while the orange blossom
of Florida would lend it's fragrance, and
the mountain laurel of Alabama would
crown it resplendently.
The goldenrod and the aster would bo-
long to the first state which should for
1nally adopt them, and SO would the
graceful shooting star of the central west
and the prairie rose. There are flowers
and trees enough to .'go around"
A bouquet composed Of all these state
flowers and tree branches would grace
all formal occasions and would typify
the union of the states. It would say
'sE pluribus unum' to the ordinary in
telligence more plainly than the Latin
motto does.-Youth's Companion.

AimemoaY OF LOIS.

The day when Lois walked with me
September skies were blue.
The woodbine on the wayside wall
Had found its autumn hue.
In gown of changing green and rose,
With undersleeves of white,
With skirt in loose and flowing folds
And bodice Trim and tight.
Her low combed hair was just the shade
OF fallen chestnut burrs.
The cheeks of mellow astrakhans
Are not more ripe than hers.
1t seemed the mushrooms showed their
caps
To win her eyes of brown,
And for one look into their depths
The orchard boughs bent down.
A blossom of the early fall
That later days would chill
Dear girl, somewhere those eyes must
wear
A CLEAN of summer still.
The rank weeds choke the orchard way
Where once we went and CAME
And MOSES make the marble gray
That long has borne her name.
But with such still September days
AS Lois walked with me,
She fits before my vision now,
A happy memory.

An Ingenious and Simple Method of Max
ing an Old Zinc Tub Dainty.
The bathtub from which age and con-
slant use have worn away the bright
ness is the despair of the model house
wife, who wishes to have everything
about her home show traces of care on
the part of herself and her domestics.
How distressed she is when, after sew
eral Intellectual attempts to FURNISH up
the metal lining, the dull, worn look re-
mains, and the unwelcome truth bursts
upon her that its polishing days. are
over and there must in the future hover
about the tub the air of dinginess and
neglect
To avoid this sort of trouble an in
genious idea is on the wing, which will
as time advances gain in favor. Who
does not admire the porcelain tubs in
which fortunes pampered proteges take
their daily dip? To those but lightly en-
dowed with worldly goods the posses
sion of one of these luxurious fancies
looks to be an utter impossibility. But
there is a means by which the mother
and her brood may secure tub, which,
if it is not quite up to'the mark IN point
Of quality, is certainly as daintily at
tractive in appearance as that of porce-
lain.
This is the enameled bathtub. When
the zinc or tin lining grows shabby, give
it coat Of white paint After this has
dried apply several thicknesses of white
enamel, waiting for each application to
dry before adding the next. In this way
thick enamel coating; is laid upon the
metal. giving it the appearance when
completed of porcelain. The enameled
lined tub is not only very much daintier
in appearance, but can be kept in order
more easily than zinc or tin, damp
cloth wiped across the surface being all
that is needed to retain the purity of
coloring.
AS company for tub furnished up in
the foregoing manner treat in the same
way the woodwork of the bathroom.
Some faint hued enamel, pale blue, old
pink, violet, gray, cream or lemon, laid
upon the woodwork completes the deco
rative notion, while aesthetic conceptions
in pumpkin yellow, sage green or russell
brown contrast admirably with the
snowy lining of the tub.-Golden Days

Col. benjamin f. Eastman.

To the Editor of the Press:
Will you allow me little space in
your paper to pay a brief tribute Of re-
spect to the memory of a life long friend,
who recently deceased in this city? I
mean the late Col. Benjamin F. Eastman.
| first became personally acquainted
with Col. Eastman in the winter of 1910,
at the State Capitol, when Connected with
the state government; he a member of
the executive council and the writer
member of the House. Here we became
personal friends, friendship that .has
been uninterrupted for over half
century, and one (which death cannot
dissever.
Col. Eastman in the best sense of the
word was true man, true to his friends,
true to his convictions of duty and true
to every interest he believed to be right.
He was man who commanded the con-
fidence and respect of all with whom he
associated.
No better evidence of this can be
found than the frequent public trusts
committed to him by his fellow citizens
Of Franklin coun ty, where he spent the
larger portion of his business life. And
these public hOnors were conferred With
out solicitation on his part, for ne never
sought Office and accepted it only when
voluntarily offered him.
AS a member of the executive council,
Senate and House of Representatives,
and commander of his regiment, no man
ever made better record. He not only
commanded the respect of his con-
stituents at home, but of his peers IN the
several departments of government where
he served.
In politics he was originally a Demo-
GRAFT, and acted with that party until 1858
and 4, when he left it, and was an in
fiuential leader in the formation of the
Republican party, with which he has
ever since acted
Col. Eastman's religious life was one of
the strong characteristics of the man. In
early life he became member of the
Methodist Episcopal church, and ever
after was a strong and influential friend
and supporter of that religious denomi-
nation. His religion was practical. He
believed in work and means to an end,
and was generous contrI butor TO all the
charitable objects of his church.
Col. Eastman's early education was
mainly derived from the common schools
Of his day, yet he was a close student
and extensive reader all his life, and,
although advanced in years far beyond
the common limits of human life, kept
abreast of the times" to the end of his
journey.
my office, and up TO the end of his life
was always cheerful, pleasant and
entertaining companion.
few weeks before his death / met
him on the street, and as we parted, he
cheerfully remarked, We'll General, we
are growing old and may soon be
mustered out of service, butsif we are
