A Canadian statistician considers that
there is little danger of an immediate
famine in wood pulp, as he figures that
the forests of Canada alone will furnish
the worlds supply, at the present rate
of consumption, for $40 years. I'm
fortunately it is not stated whether his
calculations include reckoning of the
natural growth" of the wood, nor, if
that is the case, is it stated how often a
lot may be cut over and keep its supply
good. Indeed, that is question which
American students Of forestry are hard
ly qualified as yet to answer with Ger
tainty.

TO Chinaman the idea that a
Judge should take bribes seems as
natural thing as that a duck
should take to the water. And yet
the Chinaman will not, unless he
knows he is on the right track, bru-
tally push his bribe under the
judges nose. Either he or one Of
his oomtrymen will from the
judges arrival have rendered him
good service.
Does the judge want a gardener
OF a cook? All Sin soon provides
an excellent one who never asks for
his wages. Have some visitors ar.
rived at the alcaldia? All Sin sends
in dozen chickens, a turkey and
the best fruits. Is it the judges
name day? The willy Celestial pre-
sents few cases of wine and boxes
of fine cigars. Is the roof of the
alcaldia leaking? A couple of Chi.
nese carpenters will set it right
without sending in a bill for it,
Then, having prepared the way,
should An Sin be summoned before
the alcalde he may confidently hope
that his patron will not hurriedk
give Judgment against him and that
he will probably get a full opportu-
nifty to present substantial reasons
why the suit should be decided in
his fayor.-F IL. Sawyer's "Inhab-
itants Of the Philippines"

AMATEUR
ATHLETICS
Proposition to reOrganize
Football Club.

The Capital City Amateur Athletic
club are considering the matter of the
reorganization team for the coming
football season The officers of the club,
Messrs O. l.. McNary, Harry Albert F..
w. Durbin and II. II. Olinger, viii hold
a meeting some time next week to
discuss the proposition.
They cay that unless they can secure
the very best team they will not play
this year. Their intention is, should
the team be secured, to play one
game with Portland team on Christ
mas Day, and probably another here on
Jan. l. II seems that the project Is in
teaded principally to keep alive the i'm

viously did such good work. 1t is not

can participate in athletics here this

MALAY BELIEF IN CHARMS.
Warding OF Danger From Beasts,
lmps and Storms.


The Malay is a firm believer in the
efficacy of charms. He wears anu
let's, places written words of magic
in houses and sports a tigers claw
as preventive of disease. If he is
specially primitive and backwoodsy,
when he enters a forest he says
"Go to the right, all my enemies
and assailantsl May you not look
up on met Let me walk alonep
10 allay a storm he says: "The
elephants collect; they wallow across
The sea. Go to the right, go to the
left. | break the tempest"
When about to begin an elephant
hunt, according to Thompson, he
uses this charm "The elephant
trumpets; he wallows across the
lake. Go to the left, go to the right,
spirit Of grandfather (the elephant).
| loose the fingers upon the bow
string"
The Malay believes in witches and
witchcraft. There is the bottle imp,
the polong, which feeds on its own
er's blood till the time comes for it
to take possession of an enemy.
Then there is the horrid thing, the
panangalan, which possesses women
Frequently it leaves its rightful
abode to fly away at night to feed on
blood, taking the form Of the head
and intestines of the person it in
hobited, in which shape it wandors
around.
Such beliefs may perhaps have
their origin in metempsychosis,
which in other ways has some foot
hold among the common people.
For instance, elephants and tigers
are believed sometimes to be human
souls in disguise, and so the Malay
addresses them as grandfather" to
allay their wrath and avoid direct
reference to them. Crocodiles also
lre often regarded as sacred, and

ooIdsmltha In Rome.

Rome was the mother of art IN
Europe. Early in her history the
popes, cardinals and other digni-
taries Of the Christian church fos-
tered the sculptor, the painter and
the goldsmith, and many of her citi-
Zens became famous through their
patronage. They represented the
wealth and the dignity of the city,
and, although narrow, jealous and
arrogant in many instances, they
rendered service to the world
which has been widespread in its
good effects The splendor of the
art which they encouraged for the
purpose of advancing the cause of
their religion survives in many
works of art to this day Their eff
forts in this direction were not con-
fined, however, to the decoration
and enrichment of their sanctuaries
and palaces, but extended to the
ornamentation Of their persons.
The goldsmiths of the time were
among the first to create jewels pos
sessing truly artistic features. Gel
lini was among those who owed their
fame to the patronage Of dignitaries
of the church, Not only did he at
tain celebrity through the favor of
a pope and numerous cardinals, but
he also suffered in consequence of
their petty jealousies and offended
dignity, for which, however, it is but
just to state that his own hasty tenn
per was in no small degree respon-
sible.
