Oregon's Travelling Mountain.

There is mountain of dark brown
basalt on the Columbia river, nearly
1000 feet in height and stretching
along the stream for six or eight miles.
When the white settlers first came
into the country the Indians told them
this mountain was travelling; that
some day day it would move across
the Columbia and form lake which
would reach from the Cascades to The
Dalles. What the Indians said has
been found true in some respects.
The mountain is in motion. Its move
ment is forward and downward. The
railroad builders who constructed their
line along the base found the tracks
continually forced out Of place. In
some places the movement has
amounted to eight and ten feet in a
few years. Biologists attribute the
phenomenon to the fact that the
mountain rests on a substratum of
conglomerate, or of sandstone, which
is steadily being washed away by the
current of the big river.

A Useful Device,

A set of wall-pockcts, admirable for
the use of writer. is made of denim,
of which one and half yards are used
as a foundation. At one end a deep
hem is turned, through which is run a
slat, such as is used at the bottom ol
window-shades. This holds the pocket
straight and by it it can be hung up
Six pockets, each five inches deep and
as long as the denim is wide, are made,
and are sewed one above the other.
The six are then divided into five
divisions by being machine-stitched
from top to bottom, thus providing 81
pockets, each large enough to hold a
long envelope to contain clippings. On
the end of each envelope is written the
subject referred to, such as tariff, tenn
perance, sanitation" ETC., and thus
there will be 80 easily accessible sub.
jects. For the classification of each
subject in its envelope, get piece Of
paper the size of the envelope, moisten
the flap and attach it by means Of that
adhesive. On this should be written
an index of what is in the envelope
Then, if care is taken to place eacll
new clipping next to the back ol
the envelope, it will be in the exact
order of the index. A final hint is
that when the clipping is removed for
reference n slip of cardboard should be
inserted to mark its place.

WOmen'S Brain Power.

Sir William Turner, at the meeting
of the British Medical Association Mt
Montreal, once again brought forward
the old assertion that because the
brain OF man weighs absolutely more
than that of a woman, therefore a
man is possessed of a greater amount
of brain power than is woman. This
theory was until recent times on all
sides conceded to be true, and was re
garded as convincing proof of woman's $
intellectual inferiority. The Russian
Professor Darkchevitch took up the
cudgels in defense of the weaker sex,
and demonstrated to the satisfaction
OF the majority that the fact of a
mans brain weighing slightly more
than woman's was worthless rs q tes.
timony of his superior intellectual Ca
pacity. Professor Darkchevitch con-
tends from the result of his researches
that the sexes as regards brain power
are on an equality, and backs up the
argument in support of his theory
with many convincing illustrations.
For instance, Skobelef7s brain weighed
less than that Of forty individual SOL
diers; yet no one would dream for
this reason of making the assertion
that these men were the superior OF
Skobeleff in ability. Liebig's brain
also was under the average weight.
The opinions on this matter are di-
verse and various.

Restoring Pompeii.

Another notable find has just been
added to the long list OF historical
marvels in the buried city of Pompeii,
in southern Italy. A house of exccp-
tional beauty has been uncarthed. 1t
is called the DOmus Vittiorum. IN
the hall, altarS, statuary and tables
remain almost as they were on the
fatal day, Aug "a, A. ID. 70, when the
ashes and lava of Nesuvius cut the
thread of the busy and luxurious life
of the city. Among them four marble
tables have been especially well pre-
served, and ut the base of the columns
in several places the little altars yet
support the figures of the gods and
goddesses, Jupiter, Venus, Bacchus
and Cupid, to whom they were dedi-
Gated. All the rooms opening from
the halls are richly decorated in the
manner peculiar to the Pompeiians,
with sculpture and paintings in colors,
which are yet almost rs they were
when first laid.
The practice of removing all porta-
BILE objects found during the excava-
ton from the places of their discovery
to the National Museum OF Naples has
been discontinued by the Italian Gov
ernment and steps have been taken to
preserve the home of the With just as
it stands. Marbles, altars and sculp.
ture have been left as they were found,
the ashes cleared away, and the house
restored rs nearly as possible to the
condition of its time of occupancy.
Over the rooms whose walls or roofs
have been broken by the weight of
dirt and ashes above them, suitable
roofing has been put in place, and the
rich decorations of the building are
shielded from the elements by cover
ings of glass and the visitor to old
Pompeii can see the house of the With
as it was in the wicked and luxurious
days when its people held rank and
power in the now desolate city.

S. b. NICKUM, hitherto to fame and
fortune unknown, makes the startling
announcement in an Eastern paper
that he has invented or discovered q
perpetual light, upon which he has
been at work for the past seven years.
The light, he says, is sealed in a glass
globe and will last as long as the globe
remains whole. The globes can be
made in any size, and can be carried
around as lanterns. Nickum has al
lowed no one but his attorneys and a
few friends to see his invention.
Those that have seen it say that all
that Nickum claims for it is true.
Nickum predicts that stock in electric
light plants will become useless when
his light is manufactured in sufficient
quantities. He promises a public ex-
hibition at an early date.

Probably because woman herself is
the embodiment Of the postscript in
the scale of creation; She the indis.
pcnsiblc-was added last. Taking her
cue from this, she annexes the i'm
portant item of her letter last, en-.
hancing its value by delay and by the
subtlety of making it seemingly after
thought"
Perhaps, however, the most prob
ably solution is found in these lines:
"A woman's pen is like her tongue;
1t must have one word more.
And so, when all is said and done,
She adds her final score"
AS these opinions all come from

Scarlet Fever Leaves Its Trace.

1t is q common belief that scarlet
fever always leaves its traces by some
permanent affection or arrangement,
and the case of a man in Indiana sup
ports the theory. He had scarlet
fever when he was seven years old. An
impairment OF the left side of the
brain resulted, and since that time he
has never been able to control the
movements of the right side of his
body. His eye is constantly whirling
around, the right side of his face is
never the same shape, his right leg is
jerking, and his toes are equally lively.
The motion of his right arm was so
violent that it had to be amputated,
but the stump is always moving.

Women and Their Postscripts
Northwest Magazine.
Silver Knight-Watchman.

NOrLuWeBt MhShLlue
The question why women are ad-
dicted to postscripts has called out
many clever answers, one writer sug-
gesting that it is "because they seek
to rectify thought by an afterthought." :"
Another says that it is "because they
write before they think, and think
after they have written"
From a different view another wo-
man says: "Woman was herself a
second thought and her actions are
the echo of her origin. She rarely
marries the man she has originally
intended to, and her postscript is often
of more Importance than her letter."
Another in the same vein writes;

BANK CLEARANCES.


the query OF a patron, gives this ex-
PLANTATION of what "bank clearances'
are. 1t says:
awe beg to inform our patron, and
all others who are not already in
formed as to the meaning of these
terms, that since it has become q
custom among business men to trans
act their affairs with each other and
the outside world by means OF checks
drawn on banks where money is kept
instead OF paying the money therefor,
banking institutions have found it
absolutely necessary to establish a
clearing house in cities OF considerable
size.
"This clearing house is 4 place
where each bank through specially
appointed clerk, takes all checks
drafts and other evidences of obliga-
cations against all other banks and
makes exchanges for all similar paper
drawn ON his own particular bank
and thus by the meeting of repre-
sentatives of 'all banks at a common
point, under the direction of single
clerk acting for the particular bank,
who handles the clearings,' which is
determined by agreement among the
banks, is enabled to transact, in few
minutes, business that would require
hours of time in case each bank were
to deal separately with every other
bank. To illustrate this point
"In the city of Seattle there are
eight banking institutions, upon all of
which drafts and checks are made by
their customers. At the hour of IL
o'clock each day, representatives of all
banks gather at an agreed point, called
Il clearing house, and surrender into
the hands of the clearing house clerk
all the checks and drafts which each
bank holds against other banks, and
in few moments each clerk receives
from the clearing house clerk all
| checks and drafts which have been
drawn on each respective bank, and
when this exchange is made the clerk
who carries more checks and drafts in
face value to the clearing house than
he receives is entitled to the difference
in money which he receives from the
clearing house bank and takes back to
his respective bank.
"On the other hand, when any
clerk receives more checks in value
than he delivers, he must, within so
many minutes, deliver to the clearing
house the difference in cash.
"This clearing house, it will readily
be preceived, is established solely for
convenience-but the business trans
acted by the clearing house is called
bank clearings,' and the number of
checks and drafts when aggregated
represents the transaction of clearing
house., and is so reported.
"There are now something more
than ninety cities in the United States
having clearing houses, and as it is a
matter of great convenience and Of
interest to the business world, Brad
streets Mercantile Agency Of New
York City receives from the clearing
house clerks of all these cities be-
longing to the National Clearing
House Association the business of
each one, aggregates them and give
these figures out to the Associated
Press on each Friday night, and the
figures put upon the night wires and
distributed to the various newspapers
of the country and published in the
daily papers on Saturday morning and
Saturday evening, according to a
custom we'll known and long es-
tablished."
