Yule Fires.

Do not the 'kitchen middens'' of
which biologists tell us-those singular
remains Of gigantic fires and roasted
bones which science has discovered on
many northern shore-mark the site
where the Yule logs of the kings fires
were first kindled? Quantities Of fossil
lied bones are embedded in the old world
ash heaps-bones which careful investl-
cation assures US have been roasted.
Huge cooking places they must once have
been. The bones strewing the ground
after carouse seem to have been spe-
cial feature of Danish feast. We have
only to recall the death of Elphage, the
patriot archbishop of Canterbury, in the
days of Ethelred, who, although prls-
oner in the Danish camp, steadily re-
fused to deliver himself by ransom, say
ing it would be treason in him to pay
the enemies of England. "Gold, bishop,
gold'' shouted the Danish troops, thirst
ing more for gain than blood, until. If
ritated by his constancy, they ran to
heap Of bones and horns of pxen-the
relics Of their repasts-and showered
them from all sides upon the aged
Saxon. Elphage soon fell half dead, and
was dispatched with an ak by one OF the
pirates
We may gather some idea of these gi-
gantic Yule fires from the ancient edlcts
and the allusions in the sagas to the all
important duty OF k;ndling the beacon
fires at the approach of an enemy. Wher-
ever the Norsemen settled these beacon
fires were established and their wardens
appointed CLAUS Magnas and snorro
both prove that large trees were Gus
down in the nearest forest and piled
upon the beacon bill until the blazing
pine wood must have resembled a burn
ing mountain. Yet the kings fire at the
feast of Thor exceeded the beacons on
the Norway headlands, as it burned for
weeks, for the feast Of Thor Was also
the appointed time for regulating an
home affairs.-No tes and Queries.

FASHIONS OF ALL KINDS.
Children's Gowns-Tam O'Shanters and
White Felt Hats.

White Felt Hats.
The preferred bodice for little girls
gowns is the blouse. 1t is loose and COM
Portable, besides being more becoming to
the child's figure than close styles. The
blouse is trimmed in varying fashion. a
bertha or yoke Of guipure being the IA
vorite adornment. The American gown, :"
as the French term these little dresses that
hang loose from yoke, is not SO much
worn in Paris as it was, but Is by no
means entirely discarded. One of the lat
est models in this style has the fullness
laid in one large box plait in front, the
edge of the goods standing up over the
yoke to form heading.
Tam O'Shanter caps are coming into
fashion again and are worn by children
and young girls.
Braiding and embroidery are much used
on all plain fabrics. Cloth jackets and
gowns are also trimmed with applications
of velvet, which are outlined with machine
stitching or with narrow braid or cord.
White felt hats, trimmed with white
feathers, ribbons and flowers, are being
worn in England, in spite of the climate.
White felts otherwise adorned are also seen,
and among the spring models are dead
white straw hats, with white ribbon bands.

WHY DO WE DoiTf

Perhaps some sage can tell me, for, indeed, I'd
like to know
The secret of the titles that hear where'er I
go.
There's Brown, who studied medicine, attain
ing some renown,
Whose wife hear referred to now as "Nrs.
DR.. Brown
What reason for the custom can the wise ones
give to me2
Why not as we'll refer to her as "Mrs. Brown,
NJ. Dr."
Because O'Shea is on the bench why should we
always say.
In speaking of his charming wife, ssThere's
Mrs. Judge O'Shea2''
Is she judge by marriage2 Was she welded
to the court?
There should be some good reason why the
title she should sport.
If one should wed Justice, pray advise me,
would she be
Entitled to be known by all as "Mrs. Jones,
J. PIP"
II not, what reason can we give for speaking
we do
OF "Mrs. Major Cannonball' or s'Mrs. Bishop
Pew?''
Do titles go to families for use of ev'ry onep
And if they do, why aren t they used by daugh-
ter and by son?
Why not 'Miss Lieutenant Sharp?" Why not
Junior too?
At least let's be consistent In the things we try
to do.

healing the bodies the hearts could be
reached. She gave as the reason why

CHINESE WOMAN DOCTOR.
Only One Ever Graduated from an Amer
lean Medical College.

lean Medical College,
Mrs. DR.. Kim Eca da Silva is the only
Chinese woman graduate of an Amer
lean medical college. Recently she lee
tured before the Christian Endeavor
society of the Calvary Presbyterian
church, in San Francisco, and proved
that she is very interesting woman,
worthy of a name which is euphonious,
but occupies nearly line of type.
It appears, says the New York World,
that she was given by her father, after
her mothers death, and while she was
still very young child, to Rev. and
Mrs. ID. b. McCartee, who were among
the early missionaries to China. When
only seven years old she was brought
to this country and remained a year
and half, returning nine years later.
With the exception of year in Mrs.
Lifc's famous old school il Westches-
ter county. n. Y, all her education has
been received from masters and gov
crnesses until she entered the Wom-
ans Medical college, the New York in
Urinary for women and children, from
which she graduated with distinction in
1885.
This was followed by two years hos
pital practice in New York and Wash
ington. Her stay in the latter place
was while her adopted father was sec
rotary at the japanese legation. The
| family returned to the orient and al
took up missionary work, the little doc

He is George d. Pratt, the son of the
late Charles Pratt, the multi-niliionairc

graduated from amherst college with
honors in 1898. AS one of the repre-

is the second largest stockholder of the
Long Island Railroad company, he pro-
poses to learn the railroad business
through every grade, from laborer up.
He started in the car shops at Morris
Park, and after service at the bench,
the forge and in the assembling-room
he learned how to use tools, how every
part of a locomotive is made, and how
the whole is put together. After hav-
ing served the requisite apprenticeship
in that department, he jumped into the
locomotive cab and commenced show
cling coal in the capacity of fireman.

A BAND TOURNAMENT.
Mr.. j. G. Miller Proposes to FIJI Our

Mr.. j.. G. Miller, very progressive
citizen of The Dalles, the publisher of a
musical journal called Harmony" and
thorough musician, has inaugurated
and is pushing moet praiseworthy
scheme which has operated in the East
with amazing success, and now wants
the Pacific coast to share or rather dupli-
cate that success. It is for the forma-
tion of a Northwestern Band Associa-
tion," comprising the stLtes of Oregon
and Washington, that is a congress of
bands of the two states that shall meet
annually in some city, hold five DAYS
session and have grand musical tourna-
ment. There is to be no rivalry, no
chance for hard feelings, but on the con-
strary, such Il grand good time, with mu-
sical round-ups, excursions and social
intercourse as will promote the friend
lest feeling and good fellowship between
communities it is possible to mature.
Circulars have just been sent to var
ious bands by Mr.. Miller throughout the
two states, AID letters of acceptance
have come from Antelope and Corvallis.
OOlIax anu DdyCOu, aSnss Will also
probably be here, as they have already
expressed their hearty cooperation.
Salem has very fine band which it is
thought will be present. The frat of
the five days session will be one of re-
ception, The Dalles band meeting each
in a glad overture of welcome, which will
be responded to by the visiting bands.
The second day will be grand parade

march, its last note to be taken up by
the first note of the band following, and
60 on through the line without losing
beat. The third day, the bands will
unite, all playing the same selection.

grand, the like of which has never been
heard in the West. Concerts will also
be given in the opera house. It is pro.
po. ed that this meeting will be held
some time in September, and Mr.. Miller
is working hard and will continue to
work to perfect all the details. 1t is the
plan for the Visiting bands to pay their
own expenses of coming and going, and
the city to pay their expenses while
here. There is no doubt it viii attract
many hundred visitors to the city, and
