Her builders were justified In expecting
great things from the Oregon, because of
her remarkable performance on May H.
1896, when, after months of preparation
and many trials, she made her official trial
run out of the harbor of San Francisco.
At that time she not only fulfilled the
promises made by her builders, but exceed
ed the required speed to such an extent
that the Union Iron Works received bo-
nus of $780, 900. She carried leo pounds of
steam and, although. her engines were not
crowded to their utmost capacity, she made
1878 knots an hour. The prize was $25 GOD
for every one-fourth knot developed over
| the required speed of fifteen knots an hour.
The performance of the Oregon was tele-
| graphed all over the world. the builders
| were elated over their success, and the city
| of Portland showed its appreciation by
| presenting a silver service valued at s20-
| 900 to the ship.
| On her now famous run she sailed from
| San Francisco on March 10 and it is proba-
BILE that no ship that ever made the trip
/ attracted so much attention The people
| of two continents looked daily for news
| from the Oregon on her way down the Pa
| cific coast, and the questions "Can she do
| it?'' ''Will she do it?" were discussed
wherever people who were interested in the
affairs of the country met.
Her first stopping place was Callao,
whence she sailed again on April 5, maxi
ing direct for Sandy Point without stop
ping at Valparaiso. With 6.5sS knots to her
| credit everything In good order and all
| on board well, she passed through the
| Strait of Magellan and steamed north to
| Rio de Janeiro, which port she made on
| April co. at p. m.
| At Sandy Point she picked up the gum
| boat Marietta and as the smaller vessel
| could make only about twelve knots an
| hour, the Oregon's progress to Rio was
| slower than 1t would have been had she
gone alone. third vessel, the Buffalo.
Joined the American ships at Rio, and from
the time they left that port until they
were reported safe at Bahia on Nav g.,
there was much anxiety as to the flotilla,
and the air was full of rumors as to Their
movements.
From Bahia she made the run to Key
West, arriving there on May &c, havi G.
in spite of losing five days, averaged n
speed of twelve knots for the entire voy-

One evening my fathers carriage be-

apologized to me for pursuing her usual
preparations for the night, and Nellie

reading a chapter and a psalm from the

Mrs. Washington's faithful maid
then assisted her to disrobe and lay her

against the law to import any sort Of

The London Lancet Says 1t Ii Not Injuri-
Gus to Smokers. l.
Referring to the agitation started in
France by a society which acts on the
principle that "tobacco is always use
less, often harmful and sometimes homi-
cidal, The Lancet says: "We agree in
SO far that we allow tobacco to be some
times very harmful. 1t is, of course, a
poison, but so is tea, as also coffee
two vegetable products which are con-
sumed by nearly every inhabitant of
either England or France. All three can
be and very often are abused, but this
does not do away with their reasonable
use. In these days of rush and hurry to.
bacco has often a most soothing and
restful effect. The tobacco sold in
France is, to put it mildly, not good,
and although in England it is possible
to buy fairly good tobacco it is next
door to impossible to get it pure. :.
''That is to say, it is nearly always
scented or treated in some way SO as To
give it an artificial flavor. Cigars are
beyond the purse Of any but rich man,
ana as Tor cigarettes the filth sold as
such is beyond description. A pure to-
bacco society would be an admirable in
stitution, and, as for the traders saying
customers like scented tobacco the
customer seldom gets the chance of
smoking anything else. The truth is
that. as in the case Of highly scented
tea or soap, it is cheaper to fake infe-
rior qualities Of stuff than to supply the
real thing. To be unsophisticated an
article must be of good quality, but the
craze for cheapness is running every
thing, and when people buy cigarettes
at Sc cents hundred it is not to be
wondered at that they get-well, an in
ferior article" -.s%
In view Of these dicta it is interesting
to note that cigarettes are turned out in
large quantities by firms Of repute at a
retail price nearly third less than the
price mentioned by The Lancet. Lon

q the days OF Keats, Hampstead and
Highgate were still capable Of having
an individuality Of their own and at
teeming with interesting associations.
Part Of their celebrity arises from those
associations thus formed. Leigh Hunt,

q he and Keats or he and Shelley sat
when such poem was recited or to the
path through the fields where Coleridge
took leave Of him and Charles Lamb,
who would SHUTTER some witticism at
parting. 81
John Keats was born in Moorsfeld,
London, 1876, and at the age Of Is was
left an orphan, when he entered upon a
five years enticeship in surgeon.
apothecary shop at Edmonton. From
his youth he showed q passion for music
and poetry and spent all his leisure mo-
ments in porting over books. After read
ing The Faerie Queene'' he would talk
Of nothing but Spenser. He learned
whole passages by heart, which he
would repeat and dwell upon with &c
stasies Of delight. His first poetical com
position, written. at the age Of II, was
entitled I'm Imitation Of Spenser. ;:
From that time it seemed that Keats
lived only to read poetry and to write
It. He luxuriated in the thoughts Of
poets, talked about them and read them
to his friends.
Before Keats apprenticeship was
over it was evident that he would not
persevere in becoming surgeon. At 90
he entered hospital as student, but
soon gave it up and found more con-
genial society with Leigh Hunt, Shell
ley, Goodwin. Hayden and others.
Keats signalized his accession to this
literary group by publishing in 1917 q
small volume Of poems. Hunt describes
him at this time as being under medium
height, with shoulders very broad for
his size. His face, strongly cut, yet deli
cately mobile, denoted determination
and constituencies. His entire expression
was of eager power, and he plainly
showed his emotions Wordsworth
alone he seemed to look upon as sub
Unity among contemporary poets. IS
In 1917 he left London to lead a
quiet, thoughtful and busy life on the
isle Of Wight, returning a year later
with four booksof his 'Endymion' COM
pleted. In 1920 he was seized with the
fatal malady, the knowledge of which
had been his fearful secret for some
years. After few months, during which
he seemed partly to fight with death as
one to whom life was precious and part
~ to long to die as one who had nothing
| to live for, he was taken to Italy and
there breathed his last at Rome, Febru-
airy, 1891, at the age Of 25.
He had wished for ten years of po-
| etic life, - but not half that term had
been allowed him. Crowded into his
short life was much of interest with his
ambitions, his high ideals and his tai
ents, and had he lived the ordinary age
