Lacking iii "Fairp1ay."

Last week the GAZETTE made
bold to suggest that the manner
in which the Albany Democrat
was discussing the charges of
plagiarism against Elwood Min
chin was not characterized by
that broadness and spirit of JUS
tlce usually expressed in the
term ''fair-p1ay." To this
charge that paper took excep-
tions. That we spoke advised
ly, however, is evidenced by the
following communication to the
Herald by Mr.. Q. B. Sternberg,
member of the executive com
mittee of the association. Miss
Blanche Holden, of the o A c.,
was also a member of the execu-
tive committee and the same in
justice was done her, of which
Sternberg complains in his arti-
Gle to the Herald:
"On Monday last I gave an
article to the editor Of the Demo-
crat for publication, expecting to
see that article in his paper. The
article related to the Minchin
affair, and was an explanation OF
what the executive committee
did in its meeting. I found
afterwards On perusing his paper
of that date that only part of the
article.was there, the most i'm
fportant part being omitted,
doubtless, to suit the editors con.
venience. Through this o1nls.
sion the impression still prevails
throughout the state that the
committee declared Mr.. Minchin
guilty Of plagiarism. If the edi.
tor had placed the original in his
paper, which contained the re.
quest for other papers to copy,
1perhaps this false rumor I1night
I have been corrected.
I "The reason 1 gave the article
to the Democrat for publication
. was that the statement that il
was intended to contradict had
first appeared in that paper.
"The committee was not in
flavor Of condemning Mr.. Min.
.tchin for plagiarism not only
from lack Of time, as seemed &c
De the Democrats impression,
but also because it was absolute.
lily absurd to DO so without geo6
evidence and fair trial. Per
sonal opinions were Iet expressed
nor are they considered in this
matter"
I "The above mentioned misun.
derstanding has caused me, and
| doubtless the other members ot
the old committee, much annoy
ance, and it is eur hope that
it may from now on be straight
in the minds of all.
! ''We did not condemn him OF
plagiarism either officially or any
other way, but simply recon-
mended to the present executive
committee that an investigation
be made.''

Studying Poisonous Plants.

Prof. V. K. Chestnut, one o
departmental botanists, has bee1
detailed by the department o
agriculture at Washington to tax,
up a line of investigation in Or
egen which will be of great bene
fit to sheep and cattle men. Prof
Chestnut arrived in Corvallis las
week and is now in consultation
with Prof. Lake, outlining a sea
sons work Of investigation of tn,
various plants and shrubs tina
are poisonous to stock.
A Washington dispatch to ths
Sunday Oregonian contains thi:
information: Last summer Pro
fessor Chestnut, with one othe,
botanist, studied the poisonou:
plants of Montana with great
success. They located upward
of twenty different varieties
that have proven more or less
fatal to the stock of that state,
and in most cases found a SUCCESS
full antidote. Professor Chestnut
will make his headquarters at The
Dalles, and make Investigations
in points along the Columbiat
river and other localities accessi-
bic to The Dalles. He will first
ascertain what Montana plants
are to be found in Oregon and
will then devote his time to stud
ying the plants characteristic of
Oregon. His researches will be
as elaborate as those Of last sum-
mer in Montana, and his expert
ments just as thorough and far-
reaching. 1t is expected that in
six Or seven weeks he will have
been able to locate all Of the varI-
Gus poisonous plants, and by sys-
tematically studying each in turn,
as well as its effect upon sheep
and cattle, to find some antidote
which will prove effectua1.
It has been found through 'ex-
perience in Montana, that these
poisonous plants are much more
fatal to cattle than to sheep, fo1
the reason that sheep are con.
stantly herded, and those that
have fed on the poisonous vegeta'
ton are soon noticed. In most
cases, cattle die before it is known
that poison has been taken into
the system. However, the study
that is to be made will look te
preventing death from poisoning
among cattle as we'll as sheep.
In the meantime, it is the de-
sire of Professor Chestnut that
sheep men and rangers who are
interested, and who know of diff
ferent varieties of poisonous

Venomous Fishes.

Venom is invariably associated in
the human mind with snakes, and
never with fishes; yet the circle of
poisonous animals has lately been ex-
tended by the addition, not only of a
hitherto unsupported lizard, but also
of several fishes. There is fish found
In Central America the operculum of
which is armed with spine closely re-
sembling the fang of venomous SER
pent. The spine is holloW, and COM
municates at its base with a poison
bag, the contents Of which pass
through the spine into the wound
which it inflicts. The dorsal fin of the
same fish is likewise provided with two
spines, each of which is similar in
structure and function to that already
described, and, together, they form the
most perfectly developed poison appa-
ratus yet found in this class of fishes
More dangerous, because more COM
mon, are two species of fish found in
the 1ndo-Pacific seas. Each of their
very numerous dorsal spines is as good
Tor as bad) as poison fang, being
provided in every case with poison bag
and grooves for the conveyance of the
venom into the wound. The fishermen
of the Mauritian and other coasts on
which they occur think no more Of
handling these creatures than they
would the venomous sea snakes of the
same region. Sometimes, however,
they are trodden on unNittingly by
people wading with naked feet, when
they inflict a wound which rat infre-
quently proves fatal. Other fish, and
even the sea spiders or viewers Of
British waters, infiict wounds, with
stilleto like spines, so severe as TO
raise the suspicion that the dart is IN
some sense a poisoned ono. II few
fishes are thus veHomous when living,
great many more are poisonous when
dead. The typical fish is more or less
edible creature; the eating of the
forms here referred to, however, fire.
quently proves fatal. These include
many of those curious balloon-shapol
fish known as globe fish and sea por-
cupines, also trigger fish and trunk
fish. These may be readily recognized
by the popularity of their forms, but
less recognizable. although equally
| poisonous, are certain tropi cal species
of herrings and parrot wrasses. Their
deleterious properties are said to he
due in most cases to the poisonous ma
ture of their food

In furnishing small fat it is ad--
visable to avoid massive furniture as
much as possible, as it is inappropri-
ate and far from artistic. Marvellous
things are done with the aid OF car
penter, little ingenuity and a few
pots of enamel paint. For instance,
as every one knows, round dining
room table is a tax on ones pocket
book and is certainly too desirable TO
be dispensed with. One can easily be
made of unpainted pine by a carpea-
ter and painted in the new shade OF
forest green, or stained to initiate
Flemish oak, which will be quite as
pretty as one could buy and the cost
will gladden. the heart. The legs must
of necessity be plain and unadorned,
but if the table is made very low the
effect is rather quaint than otherwise.
Hinged boxes, prim little seats and
sets of irregular book shelves can be
devised and treated in the same man
ner, and the effect produced by these
creations of ones brain and the car
penter'S skill is far better than that
obtained by the regular products of a
furnishing house.-Good Housekeep--
