The Clerk Spoke English.

The ambitious attempts Of the for
eign tradesman TO speak English to his
American customers have been describ-
ed by Mrs. Gillespie in "a Book of Re
membrance" as part of her amusing
experiences in Berlin.
Supplies of linen were to be bought,
and we went again to the shop where
we had essayed to speak German and
the shopman had answered us with eff
fort in English.
We found him affable as before, and
although we told him in German that
we wanted to look at towels, he
brought out some and said:
II have found it very difficult to be-
come such a towel as this"
We agreed with him and then asked
for some other articles which he was
obliged to look for in some distant pat
Of the store He bowed and said:
Execute me in an instant"
My companion, Looli, bought twelve
dozen childrens napkins, and the young
man said:
Have you, then, SO many young sis
tiers and brothers?'

Portrait. of Christ

There is no portrait of Christ which
ran be pronounced authentic. The Jews
were forbidden by their law to make
likenesses, and so art, as we under
stand the word, scarcely had among
them an existence. There are, how
ever, two portraits which have the
merit of extreme antiquity and were
both probably made at some time in
the first century. The one is cut ON an
emerald, the work purporting to have
been done by command of the Emperor
Tiberius. The jewel was preserved III
the treasury of Constantinople, but in
some way fell into the hands of the
Turks before that city was taken by
them and about 1883 was given by the
sultan to Pope Innocent VIII. as q
ransom for the sultan's brother
The other portrait is on a fine brass
medal discovered in Anglesea, Wales,
in the year 1902. The workmanship is
that of the firxt century, AID Hebrew
inscription on the reverse declares the
portrait to be that of the prophet Jesus.
The two portraits bear a close resem-
blance, and it is altogether probable
that both are ideal and that each fol-
lowed the description of Christ given in
the well Hnown but not well authen-
ticated letter of Publius Lentulus. The
napkin portrait called ST. Veronica's is
much more modern and is probably a
copy of the emerald likeness.

TRIMMING THE LAMP.
Idaho People Know How to Make
Their Light Shine.

That the sturdy and hustling citizens
of Idaho county are alive and in the
front rank of the procession of progress
Is evidenced by the following copy of a
statement which has been sent broad
cast over the country. Here is the way
they boom their county:
Idaho county is the largest county in
the state of Idaho and one of the lar
gest in the United States. Its popula-
ton is about 10000. During the year
1899 tke. population of the county in
creased rapidly owing to the amount Of
railroad building and the impetus given
to Its mining industry by the discovery
of the rich mines of Buffalo Hump and
other good mining properties.
The resources of the county are large
and varied. Its mines are good pro-
ducers, its agricultural interests are
large, while it's stock interests form an
important item in the aggregate wealth
OF the state. 1t occupies the heart Of
the Gem Of the Mountains and extends
from Oregon on the west to Montana
on the east 1t may with safety be said
that no finer piece of farming land lies
out of doors than the great Camas
prairie. Looking down over this vast
rolling plain, covered in the summer
time with beautiful flowers and dotted
with waving fields Of grain, Camas
prairie is indeed a pretty picture
The soil of this prairie is q rich loan
of great depth and of wonderful fertil-
ity. Hay, grains of all kinds, corn and
vegetables grow there in abundance. 1t
Is a natural timothy country, the tim
othy in a short time when sown root
ing out the native grass. Immense
crops of wheat and oats are grown.
The harder fruits grow on the prairie,
while on Salmon river are grown most
delicious peaches, pears, plums, april
cots and grapes. Mountain streams cut
across the prairie at various points,
and the entire country is well watered.
Large herds of horses, cattle and sheep
roam on the immense tracts of grazing
lands in this county.
Mount Idaho is the county seat Of
Idaho county. 1t is little village near
the mountains and at one time was
quite an important town. Grangeville,
situated about three miles on the Lew
iston side from Mount Idaho, is the lar
gest town in the county. 1t is growing
rapidly and is recognized as one Of the
most important towns In north Idaho.
Its present population is about 5000
1t is well and compactly built, well sup
piled with schools and churches, benev-
client and social orders, electric light
plant and good water system. Come
and see.

The disparagement of the usefulness
and Importance of the thumb implied
in the expression Ellis fingers are all
thumbs" seems undeserved in view Of
the important part the thumb formerly
played in the social customs of the
people and the very important part it
plays in our own lives.
Lord Erskine in his Institutes"
states that among certain of the lower
ranks in Scotland the final settlement
of a bargain was always signalized by
the licking and joining of thumbs.
Selden in Titles of Honor" says that
kissing the thumb was characteristic
of servility. The clergy, the rich and
the great were in receipt of this honor
from their tradesmen. From the re-
hottest days of antiquity the practice
of licking the thur,h has always been
regarded as pledge or promise exist
ing, according to Tacitus and other au-
thorities, among the Goths, the Iberians
and the Moors, and it may also be trac-
ed through successive periods down to
our own times.

ance bay, a little west of Wellington
sound, and on Oct. Is pigeon made
its appearance at the dovecot in Ayr
shire, Scotland, whence Sir John had
the pair taken out. The distance di-
rect between the two places is 1000
miles.-Cornhill Magazine.

A Story of Goats.

river.

Roy X. McCardell, whose genius as
an humorist first began to bud when
Cumberland was his seat of habita-
ton, has undertaken a characteristic
study of the Angora goat, which en-
livens the pages of a recent issue of
Judge:
The United States department of
Agriculture has kindly sent us, writes
Mr.. McCardell, a scholarly and ex-
haustive treatise on the Angora goat.
The author of this pleasant excur-
sion into a field that is comparatively
uneXplOred has not only covered him
self with glory, but has brought to
the public eye an animal that is all
overcoat. His wool hangs down in
heavy draperies that make him look
like a mop in repose. He parts his
wool in the middle, along the spine,
and lets it hang over on each side like
football hair. Like his Harlem broth
er, he is fond of scrap iron, which
delicacy is fed to him in captivity,
that he may yield mineral wool. He
also yields mohair, which is noted for
its specific gravity, though not so
much as the Angora goat is himself
noted for his skill, in which sphere
he is said to be superior to the China
man, in clearing land. He makes the
brushwood fly like oysters at church
fair, eats chestnut burrs with the
same delight that Scotch golfer de-
YOURS thistles while helping the caddy
find lost ball. When he begins to
clear off the bosom of the landscape,
he eats cans, bottles and other things
with such gusto that the owner of the
place is narrowed by the suspicion
that the omniyorous Angora may de-
YOUR the title and both mortgages
that hold the pumpkins down as if
fastened with spikes. He has been
known to eat cordwood, and some
times he has been given sliyers of
cedar, which have the same effect on
him that chest of that wood has on
a sealskin sacque-inasmuch as the
moths fly to him as if he were lamp.
His pelt makes fine rugs, college
diplomas and shoes, while Angora
milk is much richer than that of the
COW, and, in addition is absolutely
waterproof. 1t is furthermore trans
latable into a cheese beside which
limburger is as the dainty scent of
the wildfiower. He wears bric-a-brac
horns and Van Dyke beard; his
wool is so long that sometimes it is
put up in papers, that it may be
curled up off the ground and not trip
him. He protects ordinary sheep
against wolves and dogs, and always
keeps out of thickets, that he may
not become snarled and tangled to
such a degree that he will fall over
himself and become impossible and
unraveling. His song is an emulsion
of the susurra and the frou-frou. and
we thank the author, George Fayette
Thompson, for the hour of genuine
pleasure that was ours while reading
his luminous exploitation of the An
CORA goat

ANNUAL FALL FESTIVAL.
How Cincinnati Manufacturers Adj
vertise Their Wares.

The Cincinnati fall festival has be-
come a favorite medium with manufac-
turers for the exploitation of their prod
ucts. Last year its paid admissions
were remarkably large i'll numbers,
while the attendance this year exceed
ed that of last. Over 100000 square
feet in the great Music hall is devoted
to exhibits and shows.
One of the Influences that help boom
the attendance at the fall festival is
the active interest taken in it by the
railroads of that section of the country.
All the lines running into Cincinnati
give special excursion rates during the
fair, and these excursions are adyer-
tised extensively throughout the terri
tory. The result is that immense
crowds take advantage of the low rates
and visit the show.

Saturday night some eight or ten
inches of snow fell in this section.
There was considerable moisture in
the snow, which made it have a ten
deney to cling wherever it fell. Sew
eral electric wires were broken down
and the telephone service was almost
entirely knocked out for a day or two.
Numerous trees were broken down in
Oakland as a result of the great
weight of snow with which they were
ladened.

ADVERTISING PROBLEMS.
Some European Cities Prohibit Dis
figuring BilIboards.

In the little Dutch city Of Leyden the
municipality itself manages the public
advertising and so frees the pictur-
esque, canal cut streets from unkempt
hoardings. The city erects at the prin-
cipal corners and by the canal bridges
boards Of neat and attractive design
for public notices. A projecting top
prevents the rain from tearing or wash
ing away the bills, the boards are sur
mounted by ornamental woodwork,
and the advertising is thus not only
kept in bounds, but is made almost ar
tistic. OF like purpose, and better
known, are the familiar kiosks of Par
is and the city owned pillars Of theat-
rical bills
In Paris vigorous agitation has late
ly arisen against the DETACHMENT OF
building fronts by hugely lettered
signs, and there are ordinances which
prohibit the attachment of notices to
any tree on the public way or to the
municipal lighting apparatus.
In Rome the municipal and govern
ment acts are posted on marble tablets
owned by the government and reserved
for this use. Private announcements
are on billboards of regulated size and
form, which can be erected only on
permission from the property owner
and from the city.

Friendship is as delicate and timid
as dove. She must be approached
softly and allured gently; but, once
taken, how faithful she is and how she
fills all life with her grace and beauty!
Do you know what attracts her? Good
win and affability, obscure little vir-
tues, one of which does not see or at
least does not look at the defects of
others, and the other Of which attracts
by a hidden charm pervading ones

tie virtues which cost little and are OF
great value.-Selected
