freed by Panth srs,

Mr.. Roswell, a creamery man Of
Portland, met with rather thrilling
adventure a day or two since while
visiting dairy farm down the Colum-
bia. While on his way to the farm,
which Is in the hills some distance back
from the river, evening came on and
two panthers came out of the woods
seeking whom they might devour. Mr..
Roswell flew for tree, up which he
ascended till the stars winked like arc
lamps. He remained there and the
panthers watched below till 3 o'clock
in the morning, when native came
over the hill OH his way home from a
dancing party, singing, "We Won't Go
Home Till Morning" in a style which
caused the panthers to take to their
heels. Then Mr.. Roosevelt descended
in hurry and scared the daylight out
of the wandering minstrel, who
throught old Nick was after him. He
ran in one direction and Mr.. Roosevelt
in another, and if any panthers ever
find either Of them in that neck of
woods again they can eat them and
welcome.-Oregonian.

against the Katfirs, he exhibited great
personal bravery. He participated, dis
tinguishing himself more than ever in
the battlefield, in the Zulu war of 1S79
and in the Boer war that followed He
was present at Kassasin and Tel-el-
Kebir, at Eel Teb, and Tamai, and won
the battle Of Abu-Klea.
Gen. Butler is also known as the au-
thor the Infantry Drill Book. He is q
man of enormous energy, and Of a pc
cullar cold daring, which springs from
the head rather than the emotions. A
rigid disciplinarian, stern and exact
ing, he Is feared and respected. There
is more cruelty than mercy in his com.
position. He personally dislikes the
Beers and his campaign will be one Of
sternness to the end. To plant the Brit
ish flag over Pretoria within the least
possible time as a preparatory Of paint
ing another slice of South Africa an
English red--such is his task and to
that task he will apply himself with all
determination in his nature.

Nutritious Foods.

Prof. Atwater, who has devoted him
self to the study for number of years.
declares that there is no single perfect
food, the nearest approach to it being
milk. No food, however, contains the
essential constituents in right propor-
tions, and thus we have to get what
we want by combining our foods. 1t
will be shock to many thrifty house
wives to learn that beef and eggs are
among the greatest of all economical
mistakes. A single dollar spent in
wheat-tlour will yield as much nutri-
ment as $50 spent on sirloin of beef.
Sugar ranks next to wheat-flour as an
economical food, for a dollars worth
of sugar contains as much nutriment as
SO worth of milk, $12 worth of eggs or
$40 worth of oysters. In proportion to
their cost oysters are almost the least
nutritious of all foods. Beans and DO
tatoes run a close race for the third
place among valuable and cheap foods.
and the fourth place Is shared between
fat, salt pork and cheese made from
skinned milk.

SMALLEST REPUBLIC,

Two and a Half Square Miles, with a
Population of Sixty.
The smallest republic in the world
Is that Of Tavolara, an island about five
miles long, with an average width Of Il
little more than half u mile, situated
about dozen miles to The northeast
of Sardinia. The total population Of
the whole republic does not exceed 60.
but they elect a President every six
years, and a Council of six members,
all of whom serve the state without
pay. The women Of this island go to
the polls and vote with the men, and

all public business has been transacted
without turmoil the elections taking
place without any high party feeling or
undue excitement.
In 1886 King Charles Albert of Sar.

a family of the name Of Bartoleoni, but

itants threw off the yoke of monarchy

cd that none Of his kin should succeed
to the throne, and as no one claimed
the honor four years later the people
decided to draw up a constitution. and
Tavolara has been a very successful!
little republic since.
Twelve years ago its independence
was recognized by Italy, and, it is to be
presumed, other powers would have
recognized it also if they had known OF
its existence. The inhabitants live
principally by fishing and raising fruits
and vegetables. They fear no sudden
invasion, for they dispense with any
army or navy, and, presumably, in case
Of need, would rely upon the entire
population to uphold the freedom OF
the country.

sters thought it would be good idea
to get excused from school that they
might more thoroughly enter into the
spirit Of the day. But how to get the
excuse signed? A parents signature
was, Of course, the proper thing, but
both youngsters knew that in this par
ticular case their parents were not to
be relied on. Suddenly one of them had
a bright idea. They would get Presi-
dent Mckinley himself to sign the ex-
cuse. 1t would be easy enough to sim
ply stay away from school on the day
itself, and with an excuse for the pre-
vious absence signed by the President
himself they need have no fear of being
kept in nor punished in any way on
the day following. One of the young
sters accordingly pushed his way
through the crowd to the Presidential
stand, and, clambering without cere-
mony to the top, thrust bit of scrib-
bled paper before anybody could stop
him into the Presidents hand and ask
ed for a signature. 1t took Mr. Nc
Kinley a second or two to comprehend
the situation, but when he did he put
his name to the slip without word.
The youngster slid down happy. Next
day at school the two truants presented
their excuse. The teacher glanced at
the autograph. mckinley doesn't run
this school," she observed, and hard
heartedly kept them in just the same.

The following amusing story is told
of Queen Margaret of Italy. She re-
Gently arrived in a town, where great
preparations had been made to do her
honor. The Mayor was at hand to es-
cort her to the room where luncheon
was served, but the Queen declined to
eat anything, saying that all she need
ed was a glass of water and a sand
wich. At the end of this frugal repast
she was about to take her handker-
chief from her pocket to wipe her lips,
when the Mayor, misinterpreting her
action, bowed respectfully, and said
"Your Majesty need not trouble your.
self. l can assure you the lunch is
paid for"

The Stare.

The stage continues to form the mir
ror of fashion. One need scarcely take
in a fashion paper if one pays constant
visits to the theater. Here one can
study all the varieties of la mode and
the latest and newest designs. Each
play seems to have it's own speciality in
dress, its favorite color and its favorite
dressmaker.
Possibly spectators never give a
thought to the fact that these constant
changes of costume form no inconsid-
cradle portion Of the fatigue incurred
by an actress in long and heavy part.
Dress cannot be slurred over now.
Gowns must be laced and buttoned up,
gloves, shoes, hats, petticoats be worn
to match. 1t was different in the good
old days, when actresses shuffled one
gown over another and fastened them
lightly with a button. The Japanese
costume Is one Of the most intricate.
The real Japanese lady wears three
gowns, one over the other, n small por-
tion of each showing at the neck, the
gowns being artistically shaded, say,
from pale pink to deepest rose, or from
violet to sky blue. The chemise, too,
must match, and a special touch of
deep contrastive color is given by the
waistband.

to the untiring efforts of his daughter,
Mile. Arton, whose beauty and earnest
ness have both been factors in enlisting
the aid Of prominent statesmen and
journalists. When the Panama bub-
BILE was pricked Arton, who had been
warned, disappeared from Paris. Sc
cret service agents followed him all
over Europe, and finally he was run to
earth and arrested in London. OF the
chief witnesses against him one was
poisoned and another died at an op-
perfume time, SO he escaped wirh a
comparatively light sentence. Arton
at one time claimed that two-thirds Of
all the French deputies and Senators
were in his pay.

MAN OF BLOOD AND IRON,

Such Is Gen. Butler, Who Comm ands
the British in South Africa.
The commanding figure in South At
rica Is Gen. Sir Redvers Henry Butler,
who holds the supreme command Of the
British soldiers there. Gen. Butler has
under him over $4,000 men-a force
nearly four times greater than the pure
ly English troops which Wellington
commanded at Waterloo.
Gen. Butler Is apparently fitted for
the task entrusted to him. He Is a
man of blood and iron. His sword Is
crimson to the hilt Blood, battles,
brigades, bombs, blockading, barracks,
bivouacs, belligerency--all are synony-
nous with Butler. He is entering upon
his tenth campaign. in many more
charles he has faced and dealt death.
Over and over again he has been "men-
toned in dispatches" for gallantry in
action.
Gen. Butler entered as ensign the
Kings Royal Rifle Corps. He took part
in the Chinese war of 1860, went to
Manitoba in 1870 with Lord Wolseley
against Riel, and three years later to
the gold coast. In the Ashanti cam
paign of 1873 Gen. Butler took part in
four engagements, including tse decis-
i've battle Of Coomassie. After five
years he was back again in Africa,

CORN is KING.
Interesting Facts Concerning the Great
American Staple.

Interesting Facts Concerning the Great
American Staple.
The word maize is derived from the
Greek word yea. 1t Is not definitely
known where the plant had its origin.
Humboldt asserts that it Is American.
Other writers claim that it originated
In Asia, whence it was brought into
America by the Spanish explorers.
There is nothing so far discovered III
the records of ruins of Egypt to Indicate
that the early dwellers along the Nile
ever knew Of the grain. In an ancient
Chinese book, however to be found III
the French library at Paris, corn Is
ment oned. In Oh lie corn has long been
grown, and it Is called yea curaqua.
There is an old Javanese legendary
peom, "Alanek Maya" which Hkens
the grain of corn to maiden's tooth,
and to-day, in certain parts of the mid
die West, there is variety known az
"horse tooth"
Most of the South American Indians
know of corn. Some make sort OF
beer from it. A Quicha legend says
that Con, son of the Sun and Moon,
gave maize to man. The lroquois say
that corn was given by the Spirit of the
South. One Of the snake legends Of the
Mouui Indians tells Of six bachelors,
Red Corn, Blue Corn, Yellow Corn,
Green Corn, Spotted Corn and Black
Corn.
1t is not alone with the Indians that
myth and legend endure. To-day farm
ers of New England, and, i'll fact, In the
newer West, have their manifold
''signs" for the planting Of corn. Go
through the agricultural regions an0
you will hear them talk Of planting "ln
the full Of the MOON" and the like.
Among the German settlers, in certain
localities, it Is believed that in select
ing seed-corn for the next years corn
all the stalks and refuse must be taken
into the highways and instantly de-
stroyed, but not by burning, as that
would insure the presence Of the black
fungi, OF smut" as it is provinciaily
| termed.
Corn is the great staple Of the United
| States. 1t is the most important pro-
duct of the American continent, be 1t
grains or the output of mines or factor
les. More acres are devoted to the rails
ing of corn than in the annual yield of
oats, wheat, barley, rye, buckwheat and
cotton combined. Corn provides more
employment for laborers, provides mo- e
work for distributors and makes basis
for more industries and activities than
any other American commodity. III the
past thirty-seven years the value Of the
corn output has been $15,900,000,0
Last year QS9S) a corn farm Of G,0O0
acres in Iowa yielded net profit of 500,
600. About $500 acres of corn were
actually planted. Thirty-one planters
were used to put the seed in the ground,
seventy-six cultivators did the tend
ing" and seventy-tive wagons hauled
the crop from field to cribs. To hold
the corn cribs twelve feet wide, sixteen
feet high and half mile long were
required. The corn yield of the United
States for 1899 is estimated at 2,050,-
100000 bushels, the number of acres
planted being S1,550,000. Corn is king.
