A PUZZLED PHILOSOPHER.


why Should 10 SO Greatly Miss 'she
Things That Are Not?
A philosopher dwelt ia a house owned
by Cleon. But one day Cleon came TO
tho philosopher and said, why have
you not sent me the money for last
months rentr" The philosopher said he
knew of no reason except that be had no
money, having gotten to the bottom of
his purse.
"You will have to move OUT, said
CleoD, "to make room for cordwainer
know who wants this house and has
money"
"Would you, then, said the philoso-
pher, turn me out when 1 am so COM
Portable here, having dwelt in this house
80 years?"
1T is my comfort, said Cleon "and
not yours that 1 consider. ="
"Then you prefer a cordwainer, |
conclude, to n philosopher.
"No," said Cleon; "a landlord has
no preference except to prefer rent mon.
ey to no rent money"
So tho cordwainer moved into the
philosopher $ house, and the philosopher
won't 20 live in tho mean hOvol Of tho
cordwainer.
But once there, although contented
enough, because no was a philosopher,
yet he oould not avoid the obtrusive
facts If tho absence Of all those 5hings
which in his former habitation had
grown habitual to him.
This was the first thing that puzzled
him-how that which was not could be
so obtrusive "What, " said he, "can he

And yet here I am confronted with an
obtrusive negation.

An FnrlY Retrothai.

In tho early days Of California the
daughters Of the Lugos were sought in
marriage by the hest families of the
state It was boast that they were
even courted in the cradle, as when tho
young officer, Colonel Ignaoio Vallejo,
being in San Luis Obispo On the occa-
sion of the birth OF a daughter to the
Lugos, asked hor father for the hand Of
tho day old baby, provided when tho
time came to fulfill the contract the Sc
norita should be willing. This seeming
ly absurd betrothal took place. The
child grew up to be an intelligent as
well as attractive young woman, mar

elsMARcK's BIG HEAD.

Brains In 1t Is Extraordinary.
Bismarck's head, says correspond
ent Of L'Anthropologie, has been care
fully measured according to sie rules of
anthropometrics by the sculptor Schaph
Of Berlin, who made the statue of Bis
marck set up at Cologne. The measure
ments prove that Bismarck has head
of extraordinarily large size. Measured
horizontally from the frontal bone to
tho occiput the head is 212 millimeters,
or more than S.85h inches The dis
tance from temple to temple is 40 mil
limeters, or a trifle over go inches.
Bismarok's Uranium has a capacity of
1866 cubic centimeters, and his brain
should weigh 1867 grams.
These figures become especially sig
nificant when compared with the meas
urements of other heads. OF 2, 900 heads
measured at Baden Baden only one ex-
ceeded 200 millimeters horizontally
from front to back, ana that one meas
ured 20G millimotors, or six millimeters
less than Bismarck's. The mean meas
uremonts of 80 members Of the Natural
Science society at Carlsruhe were 195
millimeters from front to back by loo
millimeters from temple to temple. The
biggest of these heads measured 200 by
162 millimeters The cubic measure
ment of 245 0ssman heads was nearly
900 cubic centiIpot under Bismarck's Is,
while the estimated weight of Bis
marck's brain is 80 per cent above that
of the average adult European brain In

A Silverton Crime.

Louis.Smithie, confined in the Portland
Jail awaiting the action OF the grand jury
on charge OF stealing COW, has con-
fessed to the murder OF Geo. W. Young
three years ago at Mott, small place
near Dunsmuir, Cal.
The story as told by Smi;hie is that
five years ago he went TO Silyerton,
Marion county, where he became ae-
quainted with Geo. Young, who with his
wife and four children was residing at
that place and Was cutting wood Tor a
living. An intimacy sprung up between
Smithie and Mrs. Young. The parties
afterwards vent TO Sissons, Cal. On the
way Young noticed how familiar Smitliie
and his wife had become aud his jeal-
ousy became aroused 10 such an extent
that he threatened to shoot Smithie.
Finally it was determined by the guilty
couple TO put Young out of the way for
ever. Accordingly Mrs. Young made an
appointment with her husband 10 meet
her At Soda Springs on Soda Greek.
Young came aud when he Was sitting on
the bank of the creek his wife came up
behind him and seized hold OF him.
Smithie then plunged = knife into his
breast, killing him. The body was then
concealed. Young Was missed in the
neighborhood but people supposed that
he had abandoned his wife and no search
was made for the bodv.
Acting on Smithie's confession Sheriff
Sears arrested Mrs. Young, widow OF the
murdered man, in a log cabin near
Beaverton and she now occupies cell in
the county Jail awaiting developments.

THE SANTIAM MINES.
Work to BE Pushed at Once.

W. B. Lawler, the mining expert, who
has been camping on the track Of the
Santiam mines for the past year, and
Amos Strong, of Salem, were in Albany
today on their way to the mines, where
active work will be pushed at once. The
following in today's oregonian gives the
situation:
Mr.. William Il. Lawler, mining ex-
pert, who for a year past has been en-.
gagged in advancing the interests OF Linn
county mines, left Portland last evening
for Mehama City. He has purchased
the interest of Mr.. +. n. Shurtleff and
G. McD. Stroud in the White Bull mine,
and now holds absolute control OF that
and adjoining properties situated in the
Quartzburg mining district.
Mr.. Lawler is associated with Mr.. !.
f. Medina. manager and owner of the
London Bank of Central America, and
othe. wealthy capitalists, who intend in
vesting large amount of money in de-
veloping the many resources of Western
Oregon. 4 few weeks ago Mr.. Arthur
Pearse, an English engineer, visited the
property, aud his report only adds to the
favorable mention heretofore made by
leading experts. Mr. Lawyer il now ar
ranging to commence active work, and it
has been entirely due to his energy and
persistence that all obstacles have been
overcome, and the development OF the
property really begun. Tue work OF this
season will be the driving of three tun-
nels, the sinking of two shafts, and the
building of wagon road from Gates to
Quartxville. A mill, 40-stamp capacity,
will also be constructed, and, before the
snow flies next winter, the property will
be in fine working condition. Hank
Smith, so well known on the Comstock
in its palmy days. and until recently
superintended of the Bnllion-Beck mine
of Utah, will have charge of the property.
Il was his report that convinced Mr.
Lawler one year ago of the value OF
the property, ard snhsequen. develop
ment has proven the accuracy OF the
statemets made by Mr.. Smith regard
ing the Quartzburg property.
