The offer made by the Felt Mer-
camille Company to donate s25 and
if need be to double it, TO help on
the proposed improvement of the
Lawyers Canyon road is COM
mendable and speaks well for the
public spiritedness of the manager,
Mr.. c. W. Felt. The improve
ment of this road, enabling the
farmers of the Green Creek coun-
try to reach this point to trade will
add valuable territory to our al
ready widening circle of Influence.

The Lewiston public are greatly
excited over the proposed change
of passenger and mail service on
the Clearwater Short Line. There
are many pros and cons to be
considered in this change. One
result to the people of this prairie
would be an earlier mail service.
The matter of time would be the
same. 1t would only be matter
of choice between staying over
night at Kamiah or Lewiston.

Knew Too Much,

A young man employed in an oys-
ter shop has lost his situation, and
this because he gave prompt answer
to his employers eager question. The
employer had six lively little land tur-
ties, which attracted much attention
as they wandered aimlessly about the
window. He painted a large white
letter on the back of each of the
shells, and put up notice to the eff
feet that, whenever the turtles got
into such relative positions that the
letters spelled oyster" he would pre-
sent half dozen natives to every one
who was looking on.
Then he became frightened lest the
mystic word should occur too often,
and covered reams of paper figuring
out the odds. He gave it up at last,
and was about to remove the turtles
when his most accomplished oyster OPP
ener informed him that the odds were
100 to 1 against the combination. The
turtles are still in the window, but the
oyster opener has gone. Such knowl-
edge of odds, the employer thought,
could have been acquired only by years
of betting experience. It is not wise
to be too wise.-London Chronicle.

Losses by fire in European cities are
less than one-tenth of those in the
cities here, though in Europe the fire
departments, except in one or two in
stances, are almost Insignificant and
on casual survey wholly inadequate
With population of 100000, Paris
for years had fire loss less than Bos-
tons. Budapest, with a larger popu-
lation than Boston, lost less than
one-tenth the amount last year that
the Massachusetts capital did.
Milan, with half a million inhabi-
tants, loses on the average only $780,
900 year, and the total damage by
fire in Venice, where 100000 people
live. was only about $4,000. London s
loss is only about one-fifth that of
New York.
1t is not that the fire departments
are so very efficient in any of these
European cities but because the build
ings are planned on lines which rem
der them practically fireproof. Wood
plays some part in the construction Of
houses, but brick and stone surround
it invariably, and experience has
shown that elaborate fire fighting
forces are unnecessary.

The Emperor Frsnc Joseph CT Aus
tria is very plain in his tastes and
habits, says London M. A. P. At 6
o'clock in the morning he takes his
breakfast, consisting of some cold
meat, coffee and fresh made bread and
cake. Between IL and l o'clock he
takes his dejeuner, two dishes of meat
and some ordinary pastry. Dinner is
served at o'clock sharp. All his
meals are served in his library at his
writing desk. Not even tablecloth is
spread. His personal valet on duty
receives the dishes in an antechamber
on a large tray, and puts the tray be-
fore the emperor at his desk. Very
often the emperor takes spoonful OF
soup between two signatures. He Is a
very busy man. The emperor does not
care much for wine. He prefers a
glass of beer. Nor does he indulge in
expensive Havana cigars. A plain
home made cigar, the so-called Vir-
ginia cigar, long and thin, with a
straw running through it, is his favor
lite smoke. These cigars cost only five
kreuzer-that is, about four cents
apiece.

"MIss CHRYsANTHEMUM".
Girls In japan and China Named fo
POpular Flower.

Girls in japan and China Named for
Popular Flower.
It is not at all an unusual thing in
China and Japan to hear girl called
"Chrysanthemum." 1t is as popular a
name as Dorothy or Margaret is here.
When young man calls, he probably
asks whether Miss Chrysanthemum
and Miss Rose are in, quite as natur-
ally as he would on this side Of the
world Inquire for Miss Dorothy and
Miss Margaret. A girl named for the
! favorite flower of Japan in that coun-
| try is said to adopt that flower as her
especial one for the decoration of her
dress, for wearing in her hair, and for
flower gifts when she makes them.
Not only does she devote herself to the
chrysanthemum alone, but to that par
ticular shaped and colored one that
especially suits her style. The chrys-
anthemum has so much individuality
that, in the eyes of the artists Japa-
nese maiden, 1t would clash most dis
cordantly with the rest Of the ensemble
if it didn't just suit her type. Dark,
soft shades of red and deep yellows
are naturally great favorites with the
dark beauties of the East Such chrys-
anthemums as we know as the Mrs.
Pullman" and the "a. ]. Drexel," dark
yellow and dark red are more popular
in Chrysanthemum Land than the
un rd orf,,1 vxyhifn iun,.inc c,roh nc ssFTir1n-
othy Eaton or delicate pink "Vivian
Morrell" both so popular with fair
haired girls here. 1t is said that no
one knows better than the Japanese
girl that light touch Of adjacent COL
or brings out the color in the COM
plexion better than a mass of deep
color would Dull pink chrysanthe-
NUNS, that are neither pink nor red,
have the effect of toning up the color
In dark compilations better than clear
pink or decided red would do it. Miss
Chrysanthemum goes into the cult
nary art also with her flower. She
serves her guests with a tea or bev-
erage made Of its boiled petals, called
"saki," and concocts delicious salad
of the flowers. From tea to an order
OF chivalry is big jump. But it is
said that SO high place Of honor and
Importance does the chrysanthemum
hold in Japan, that simple variety
Of this flower conventionalized is used
as the official seal and crest of the
Emperor, and that the highest order
OF chivalry in the land is called the
Imperial Order of the Chrysanthe-
mum. "-Philadelphia Times.

public schools an assignment was
given a reporter of paper that has
to illustrate its news matter, to get a
picture of the youngster entering the
school building So the Photographic
reporter stationed himself near the
front door of Force School, on Massa-
chusetts avenue and awaited the COM
ing of the White House carriage with
it's precious load An hour after the
opening hour the watcher gave up the
job, having taken no notice OF the
first lady of the lady, who had walked
with her boy from the White House,
entered the building, saw him properly
enrolled and seated, and departed IN
the same unobtrusive manner. The
second day the watcher was just as
unsuccessful, for the youngster dashed
into the grounds on bicycle and was
behind the fence in the yard before
he could be identified. And the third
day it was no better. On that occa-
sion he rode up in an express wagon
and from it vaulted the fence into the
ydiu, DILL uuopOltCu W ehS

the Job.
Mrs Roosevelt has ordered large
supply of linen from Porto Rico for
use in the White House. All of it will
be embroidered with the coat of arms
of the United States. While in New
York Mrs. Roosevelt became much in
terested in the work of the Porto
Rican women, and wishing to assist
the enterprises of the island, as we'll
as secure rare linen for the White
House, she gave the order.

Former Senator Chandler of New

to Senator Lodge of Massachusetts n

honor, if honor it may be, of having
been directly responsible for putting

One of the pretty features of Mrs.
Roosevelt's afternoon reception was
that every time a child passed down
the line Mrs. Roosevelt stopped and
petted 1t, and frequently stopped the
line to have little talk with the
children. Another very noticeable de-
parture from the old rule of White
House receiving was that neither Mrs.
Roosevelt nor the ladies receiving with
her shook hands with any one but the
children, combining their greetings to
a pleasant bow. The reception lacked
all of the strict formality and discom-
fort that usually mars public recep-
ton, and even the stranger seemed
quite at ease. The thousand people,
many of whom had waited in the driz-
cling rain, were from residents of the
District, with large number of tour
lists who are passing through the city.

READING THE NEWSPAPER.
The Only Way to Keep in Touch with
the World.

the Only Way to Keep In Touch with
the World.
President William De Witt Hyde
contributes to a religious paper a
chapter of advice to young people on
reading, in the course of which he
gays that ten minutes a day is enough
to spend on daily paper. The pre-
posterous things so often done and
said by college professors, and their
frequent betrayal of lack of every
day gumption-things that make them
laughing stock to the public-sug-
gest that many of them have followed
President Hyde's advice. No sensible
person advocates a thorough reading
Of newspaper-each issue contains
matter of interest and Importance only
to special classes; but each issue also
contains an epitome of the history of
the world for that day; record of
progress, something of the thought of
the best minds altogether matter as
important as the history or thought
of 100 or 1000 years ago to the educa-
ton and culture of the man of
to-day, and much more essential to
his material welfare. 1t takes some
thing more than ten minutes to read
and digest this daily summary the
collegiate adviser ought at least to
allow half an hour; some intellects not
the most alert might even require an
hour If all men were to spend their
lives in their libraries and had little
or nothing to do with the outside life,
the work-a-day world, such advice as
that of President Hyde might have a
fitness. In fact, it would not be neces-
sary for them to read the papers at
all. AS it is, however, this is very
practical world. Men who are in 1t
and of it must keep themselves in
touch with many things, and they
can do this through the daily papers
better than in any other way. If the
author Of the advice quoted will look
over the ground he will probably find
that the great majority of the men in
this and other generations Immediate
ly preceding it who have achieved sue
cess in business life, or eminence in
public or professional life, have been
.habitual readers of newspapers, and
that they have averaged something
more than ten minutes day in such
reading.-Tndianapolis Journal.

The enrolment of lads from the
poorer section Of the people in the
army service Of Japan subjects their
parents to no small pecuniary embar-
rassment, but what specially troubles
these poor people is the fact that they
can not afford to give the necessary al
lowances to their sons, for, humble
as they are, this is a matter that
touches their sense of honor. This
was long known to other neighbors,
and these, at the instance of some
thoughtful members, have decided to
collect private allowance fund to be
given to the privates enlisted from
their own quarters.

Ambassador and Mrs. Choate we're
conspicuous figures at the social func-
tons of the last week. Many dinners
were given in their honor, and they
were assiduous in making visits. The
ambassador is in fine health and spir-
lis, and speaks with enthusiasm of
his stay at the capital.
Foremost in our higher national leg
islative body is, of course, the Presi-
dent Pro Tempore of the Senate, Mr..
Frye, senior senator from the state of
Maine. William Pierce Frye was born
at Lewiston, in the state he now so
ably represents, on the second day of
September, 1881. He served in the
42d, 43d, 44th, 45th, 46th and 47th con-
crosses, and was elected to the United
States Senate in 1881 to fill the va
cacy caused by the resignation of Hon.
James G. Blaine, and has served con-
tinuously in the latter body since that
time. He was reelected to the Senate
last year to serve another term Begin
ming with March 4, 1901.
No more prominent persistent and
earnest advocate of subsidies to the
merchant marine than Senator Frye
. lives. His whole mind and being are
centered up this important subject,
an he says in no uncertain tone that
ship subsidy bill shall pass Congress
at this session. A grizzled old fighter,
he commands the earnest attention OF
the Senate always.
Senator Frye is, besides being Pres
ident Pro Tempore of the Senate,
chairman of the committee on COM
merce, one Of the most important of
the standing committees of the upper
house. During the last session he had
charge of the river and harbor bill,
carrying appropriations amounting to
more than seventy millions of dollars.
Mrs. Roosevelt held largely attend
ed informal card reception Tuesday.
The guests were received in the Blue

wore a light Powered silk gown with

her hair. Miss Alice Roosevelt, who

white wool with Irish lace.

"The American people never Will
know what coffee is until they have
drunk PGto Rican coffee. The aroma
Of Il remains in the nostrils, the de-
hciouE taste Of It fingers on the palate
as a distinct pleasure"
Thus declared Attorney General
James S. Harlan, Of Porto Rico, in
Chicago lately on q visit TO his broth
ers, John Maynard Harlan and Richard
Harlan, president Of Lake Forest uni
versity, reports the Record-Herald.
"POrto Rican coffee tastes no more
Ike American coffee than sherry wine
tastes like cid port" Mr.. Harlan con-
tinued. "By good liverE It is consid-
cred the best IN the world, even when
not made in the Porto Rican way. De-
pend upon Il, most Of the coNee grown
in Porto Rico win come TO the United
States when the Americans have tast-
ed It."
Mr., Harlan next eKtolled the aqua
carte, which Americans call an "alli-
gator pear" Between the rind and
the stone OF the fruit is the meat
which is of the consistency Of butter.
The natives make salad Of Il; they
spread IL ON their bread in place OF
butter; they also dry it and turn Il
into -four. The Americans are sure to
acquire a taste for e, and the export
erE in time will reap a fortune.
porto Rico Is q good place for meA
without capital to stay away FROM"
continued Mr.. Harlan. "The Ameri-
c~anizatiOn Of the island has resulted
splendidly for the natives, and has
brought about prosperity, but for all
this prosperity the American without
capital would better remain at home.
I knew three Chicago young men-an
electrician, a stenographer and a car
penter-who went there. They
thought they we're going to a new
country, where there was abundance
Of work and the possibility Of a for
tune. They found a civilization older
than our own, an island crowded with
people, but plenty of skilled workmen
for every Job. They were assisted
home. Porto Rico, I believe, IS still q
good field for the investments Of capt.
tai, though it is not so good as It was
a year OF so ago."
