DIR. HamiIton's Lecture.

DR.. Hamilton lectured the students OF
the state university yesterday afternoon
on "Theism and Science" in which he
brought out the agnosticism Of John Stew
art NIL and Herbert Spencer. DR.. Hsmil-
ton exposed the beliefs and ideas of ''asso-
clationalism' according 10 the following
chiefs topics. The first error Is that We
perceive. not things, but sensations or feel
ings. ard that all thought consists in the
succession of associated feelings or ideas.
Also that there is no such thing as space
or time but contiguities and sequences;
that there IL no matter and no mind. only
outward and inner Phenomena: that there
IL no power or causation, only invariable
outward and inner phenomena; that there
is no design in nature producing new
forms. only environment and heredity;
that there is no God, at least. no movable
God: that there is an unknown sub
stratum Of existence
such philosophy he said, makes a
mere succession of phenomena a sufficient
series OF causes. The universe credits and

A workman and His Work.

The wife of friend of mine Is the
possessor Of thin gold watch chain.
Ii is something after the pattern OF a
cable. Each link is finely finished, and
the workmanship is that OF an artist.
In examining it closely one would even
think that the person who made 1t was
in love with his work. 1t is mechan-
ical masterpiece. My friend made 1t a
gift TO his wife about 10 years ago, and
it is not only highly priced by her on
that account, but also because OF It's de-
sign and finish. A week or two ago one
of the links broke.

right" said my friend. Il know just
the man to take it to. He is not jew
eler. but machinist by trade, and L
would rather give job like this to HIM
than to jeweler. He has a mechanical
genius which runs to work OF this
kind

The Passing Of the Cayuse.

Fossil collections gathered in old lake
beds of eastern Oregon demonstrate that
the broad plains between the Rocky ana
Cascade mountains were the original
habitat Of the prehistoric horse, fleet
little animal no larger than fox which
in the long ago scampered over the
lonely land. After the lapse of ages the
modern horse is now to degenerate upon
the stamping ground of his ancestors.
The cayuse has become so valueless by
the invasion of the electric car and the
bicycle and the disappearance OF the
stagecoach and the wagon train that
the halter has been taken from his neck
and he has been turned loose to struggle
with nature for his own subsistence.
Over this section many thousand head
of wild horses now roam as untram'
meled as in prehistoric days, and during
the past winter these persisted III large
numbers.
II is case of the survival OF the mt
test. The cayuse, like the red man. may
read his doom in the setting sun, bu
the we'll bred horse can still look ciyi
lization in the face and demand shelter
and oats in abundance. - SPOKANE

HUMANE DENSITY.
Anew Medical Fad Explained by French
Scientist


what Is your density-physical not
mentalY This Is Il question which few can
answer, but which is yet from the point of
view OF health an important one
M. Henri de Paryile, a well known
French scientific writer, points out that
men might derive great advantages by
keeping record of their density. Doctors
attach great importance to the weight of
man. 1t is Of great service Co them 60
know whether their patient is losing or
gaining. " light Is an Indicator of the
working of ,ho organism, ana if inhabit-
ants OF cities made il judicious use of tho
scales in middle age they might avoid
stoutness ard its SUCCESSOR, obesity, and
all the disastrous consequences TO heart
lungs, liver ana Other organs which come
with IT. The weighing machine furnishes
an invaluable means Of diagnosis Ordi-
narily, however, precautions against the
fattening tendency are taken too late
But density is quite as instructive as
| weight. IL sometimes happens that a
man grows thin in appearance, but that
| tho scales show an increase of weight. On
the other hand, it may happen that he
| looks f0ttcr and yet loses i'm weight. This
shows that the volume of the body does
not always bear the same proportion tn its
weight. One may have muscle and weigh
much or DO fat and weigh less. A really
healthy man is well muscled. He is densC
and well proportional. The sick or un
healthy man has soft tissues and dilateC
and protrudinS stomach. He has volume
without weight.
From the hygienic point of view it il
then necessary to ascertain the relation o
the weight to the volume of the body
that is, the density. The greater the dens
ty the stronger are the reasons for assum
ing good state of health.
1t would, says NJ. de Parville, be cas-,
to ascertain the volume of patient. lie
him enter with care into specially con
structed bath tub, so that the water h
displaces shall run of into a graduated re
cipient. The doctor could at once rea
the graduation and ascertain the volum
of the body from the volume of water
The weight divided by the volume give
the density.
The scientist concludes by saying tina
the man who is getting too fat must M
be content with reducing flesh; he must b.
come dense. Density is the most perfet
sign of functional integrity Muscular el
ertion makes man dense idleness ba
digestion, life within doors take the elet
tricity from the muscles, mako the tissu,
soft and predispose to illness.
He urges that all doctors should ket
accounts Of the density of their patient
and that in all watering places, bathii
establishments and so forth volumet
baths should DO installed in which visito
: can ascertain their density from time
time. New York journal.

The Doucet Skirt.

The doucet skirt shirred on fine cords
around the waist, the shirring extend
ing below the hips, is a popular feature
of summer frocks. In organdle tins
fashion is particularly adaptable. "A

if she had stepped out of picture at

an organdie with white ground, pow
dered with tiny pink rosebuds, the SKIRT
made in this way and worn over white
taffeta slip. The waist had little null
ness gathered on the right shoulder ana
under the arm, the folds being brought
across the breast diagonally ana 1as-
tened with ruffle on the left side,
forming a curve around the collarless
neck. which was left little bare, the
organdie forming a sort of bolero, when
was drawn tightly across the figure ana
the waist defined by high draped belt
The sleeves were made without being
gathered and drawn tightly around the
arms, except at the top, where smart
looking puff accumulated the shoulders.
With this pretty frock was worn

cluster of pink roses. Roses also formed
