LAKES ALWAYS FROZEN OVER.
Skating the Year Around on Two
Bodies of Water in Oregon.

From the Portland 0regonIan.
Two lakes covered with ice at all times
of the year have just been discovered in
Baker county. C. NJ. Sage Of this city on
Sunday. July q, crossed two good-sized
lakes in the Granite mountains. some miles
northeast Of Cornucopia, on hard-frozen ice.
Mr.. Sage. with a party OF friends. went
on hunting and pleasure trip to the al
most Inaccessible mountain peaks back Of
the town Of Cornucopla. in the Panhandle
district. The mountains are high and rug
ged, and before passing the timber line the
explorer must find his way through a
primeval forest. A pack horse is the only
means of getting into this district except
to trudge along on foot, which. TO say the
least is uphill business. One part OF the
road is SO incumbered with fallen trees that
1t Is almost impossible to get through. In
order TO get supplies to their claims two
prospectors We're obliged to cut a traH
through this tangle Of fallen trees and It
was by means of this trail that Mr. Sage
and his friends were enabled to ascend the
mountains, until they finally discovered the
two frozen lakes referred 10. The lakes
are near the summit on the north side OF
the mountain, and IN order to zach them
the party travelled over ice and snow for
distance of five miles.
The bodies of water are small. One is
about 80 feet across. and the other is be-
tween GOO and 700 feet in diameter They
are well-defined lakes or pools however
covered with a thick coating Of ice clear as
crystal and as smooth glass, which is so
thick and strong that the exploring party
did not hesitate to ride across on horse
back.
Mr.. Sage says so far as he is able to Judge
the ice on the lakes never melts because
they are SO situated behind two tall peaks
that the suns rays never strike them with
sufficient power to make any impression on
the snow and ice. This land OF perpetual
snow and ice rs within days ride of Baker
City by the present means of transporta-
ton, part way on blackboard and the rest
on horseback. 1t would scarcely be more
than a ride of an hour and a half on an
electric railroad. Mr.. Sage Is OF the opin-
ion that from the lay Of the country other
larger and more picturesque lakes with per-
petual ice will be discovered.

FASTEST BIRD ON WING,
Duck Hawks Have No Equal in Fly
ing.

ing.
From the Boston Herald.
never see a duck hawk but that my
thoughts go back to the times when this
was the most valued bird in the world
the favorite Of kings-a gift for an en-
peror. And we'll 1t deserved the high place
which 1t held, for Of the many birds used
in the ancient sport of falconry, the duck
hawk or peresrine falcon was the swiftest
the most savage and the most courageous
Of them all. The sport Is now practically
obsolete, but for thousands of years 1t was
one of the principal amusements Of the
better classes throughout Europe and Asia
Nowhere did 1t take deeper FOOT than In
England, where for centuries 1t was con-
Quoted on a grand scale and at enormous
expense. Some of the nobility kept fall
cons as race horses are kept today, regard
less OF cost, paying fabulous prices for
celebrated 9. s.a !, d., birds and maintaning large
cons upon their gloved wrists In those days
as a matter of course, and thought no
more of 1t than they would Of carrying
walking sticks today. and lady going
sure to carry a hawk of some kind,
Froissart tells us that when Edward III
invaded France he took thirty falconers
on horseback, who had charge OF his
hawked, as he was disposed"
Until the reign of King John only people
or nigh rank and power were allowed to
indulge In this royal sport, and many were
the laws which protected the hawks and
their nests. Death was at one time the
penalty for stealing the eggs OF the falcon.
Among the important privileges wrested
from John was the fsrest charter, by
virtue Of which all freemen were allowed
to fly their own hawks and keep their own
heronries on the banks Of their own rivers
But still 1t remained felony to steal a
falcon or Its eggs, and a freeman was
liable to imprisonment for "a wear and q
day" for robbing q falcons nest in his
own woods.

Apoplexy in Young Persons.
o the New York Herald

FROM the New York Herald.
The death of the daughter OF former Sec
retary Of War Lamont was an unexpected
occurrence on many acccazts. Although
she had suffered during the last winter
from spinal meningitis. she was supposed
to be on fair way toward recovery when
she was suddenly stricken with apoplexy
The latter accident is a very rare one in
young persons, and the attack is sosaewbat
dimcult to explain as sequel TO her pre-
vfous illness. The original maiady was the
result OF a microblc Infection. giving rise
to toxic Inflammation of the membranes of
the brain and spinal cord. When death oc-
ours under such circumstances 1t is due TO
the combined influences of destructive or
ganic changes in the affected parts and
general systemic poisoning. When the lat
ter Is prominent feature there is seldom
a sudden ending OF life. even when the
symptoms point to an ultimately fatal is
sue. The suddenness OF the fafntinR At
and the subsequent coma were TO be ex-
planned only on the supposition that a blood
vessel Of considerable size had ruptured
either on the surface OF the brain or I'm it's
substance.
The only plausible cause for this would
appear to be a gradual disorganization as
the direct result OF previous septic pro-
cesses~ In any event, such an occurrence
is so unusual that there Is no wonder the
distinguished medical men who were called
to the patient hesitated for a time In max
ing a diagnosis OF the case.

BIBLES FOR ALL MANKIND.
Four Million Dollars Bequeathed for
That Object by Mr.. r. Arlington.

Four Million Dollars Bequeathed for
That Object by Mr.. r. Arlington.
From the London Mall
Mr.. Robert Arlington, who has left
100000 to foreign missions, was little
known in Leeds.
His life was that of a recluse, and few
persons dared intrude on his privacy. His
wants were few, and at no time would he
permit himself luxuries His house In
Headingly caused him much trouble as he
lived in constant terror Of burglars. This
fear led him to keep in constant touch with
the police
Mr. Arlington was not the originator of
the vast sum he was possessed of at his
death. The bulk Of his money he obtained
by legacy, and as he spent but little the
principal. with interest, soon mounted up
Years ago he was prepared to give large
sum to missionary work. but his scheme
was so hedged by limitations that it was
never put in force
The pecuniary legacies given by the will
include gift of f2 900 to the Free Church
of Scotland Missionary Society for Indian
Missions $500 each to the Leeds Dispensary
and the Leeds Blind Institution. and f1OO
each to other charitable institutions in
Leeds and Bristol.
With the exception Of a tenth of the
residue of the estate. reserved for division
among the testator's first cousins living at
his death, the balance is devoted entirely
to missionary purposes, provision being
made in the will for representation of the
Baptist Missionary Society Of London and
the London Missionary Society on the COM
mittees to be appointed
1t was the wish of the testator that the
legacies should be applied for the purpose
Of giving to every tribe of mankind copies
Of "at least the Gospel of st. John and the
Gospel of st. Luke, together with the Book
Of the Acts Of the Apostles, printed in the
language
members of each tribe should be taught to
read and be urged to evangelize others.
The first missionaries to leave for the
Arthingtons money, and the Arlington
Falls, on the upper Congo, testify to their
gratitude. The spread of the Gospel was
the absorbing occupation of his life, and
every effort will be made by those respon-
sible for the administration of the trust
funds to carry out his wishes in strict ac-
cordance with the injunctions of the will

WITCH's SPELL.
Killed the Baby After Father Shot a
Black Cat

Reading (Pa.} Corr. Of the Philadelphia Times
Leroy Thomas Eisenhower, the three
year-old child Of John Eisenhower, which
Is supposed to have died from A witch's
SPELL was buried today. The entire neigh
borhood is excited over the affair. as sew
eral deaths which have occurred In the
vicinity recently are attributed to the same
cause. In this region there are many per-
sons who have a strong belief in the exist
ence of witches.
Mrs. Eisenhower says the witch had been
working on her child almost since its birth.
During this time" she continued, "the
child suffered tortures, and was afflicted
with all kinds Of aches and pains An cid
woman stopped in front of the house about
six weeks ago to see the baby, and since
then its sufferings have been intense. The
neighbors said that Thomas was bewitched
I did all in my power to break the SPELL
had the baby 'pow-wowed' eighteen tines
and took 1t to the most famous witch doc
tor In this section He said my child was
bewitched, and gave me a card which the
baby wore pinned to it's breast until it died
Then I burned the card. Besides the
card my baby wore several bags
and medals pinned to its breast The ba es
contained bread and salt. All this was to
break the spell. but 1t didn't seem to do any
good. My baby Just wasted away, until at
its death it was only skin and bone. 1 lay
awake at nlgnt thinking l could see the
witch in the little ones ROOM Another
neighbor's child was bewitched and died,
and its mother told me her baby saw the
witch in its bed room. But / couldn't find
any. My baby was always restless, and
think the witch took its rest
The witch story has been widely circu-
lated in the northeastern section of the
city. Mothers call their children into the
house from play whenever an old woman
who looks as IL she knew anything of the,
black art appears. Neighbors say the witch
that caused the Eisenhower baby's death
had incarnated herself in nasty black cat
A black cat was after Mr.. Eisenhower's
birds. and he shot the animal. His baby's
death followed few hours after The
neighbors are stout in their belief that the
cat dragged Baby Eisenhower with II to
eternity, for they say It was the witch that
was shot.

Celibacy Favors Crime.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
It requires no statistics to support the
theory that crime in any community in
creases with celibacy. The most elemental
knowledge of sociology and Of human ma
ture sufi,ces to impress one with this fact
The mere assumption Of marital obligations
is In itself deterrent against crime, for
the man who is capable Of an emotion that
VIII lead him to matrimony Is not apt to
relapse from the finer instincts Of his ma
ture long enough to commit q crime. When
the children arrive and q home In estab-
lished the tenderest relations and obliea-
tions are developed and cherished. The
family ties become stronger and deeper,
the responsibilities of life assume q more
serious aspect and the manifest Impulses
are nurtured and strengthened 1t is a
mere sociological trufsm therefore to saw
tnat the estaelishment Of the family rela-
ton Ia deterrent against ortms.

Contrary to General Opinion Cubans
Are Not Indolent - They
Love Pleasure.

Mr.. Victor S. Clark has recently prepared

an interesting paper on Cuban Character" :"
which Is based on a study OF the Cuban
people during considerable time spent on
the island. This paper has special refer
ence to the laboring classes of the island
Beneath most unimposing exterior the
Cuban laborer generally manages to cherish
a considerable sense OF personal dignity, and
he resents deeply, however unperturbed he
may appear, the rough way of handling
that has come to mean so little to his fel-
low-laborer In the United States. Perhaps
the unexpressed contempt with which he is
tolerated by some Americans is resented
still more deeply. In any case. the very ef-
forts put forth by employers and their rep
resentatives to increase the amount Of
work done by employees often have the re-
verse effect to that intended. Tactful man.

Naturally Self-Possessed

The Cuban is naturally self-possessed It
Is difficult to fancy him having stage fright
He is so imaginative and Tarasconese that
he frequently confounds ideals with reali-
ties, and as his ideal of himself is usually
an exalted one. this disposition does not in
cline him to diffidence or humility He is
therefore apt to assume an artlessly famil-
lar air with his employer, and try to put
their business relations so far as their So
cial aspect Is concerned-which is to him a
most important one-as nearly upon a part
nership basis as possible. With his man.
ual services he bestows the gifts Of his
own discretion and judgment as gratuity
and he is thus enabled to amplfy and mod
ify any instructions he may receive TO
guide him in his work. These personal ad-
yances and well-intended departures from
what are called orders principally as a mat
ter of courtesy in Cuba are received quite
differently by an American and a Cuban
employer. The former resents them
brusquely, often profanely. and thus sows
the first seeds Of misunderstanding that re-
suit in much concealed resentment and hos
tillty. and unless he master the situation
by great force of will and character may
occasion more serious damage to his in

A Democratic Country.

Cuba is one OF the most democratic coun-
tries In the world. Nowhere else does the
least-considered member of a community
aspire with more serene confidence to social
equality with its most exalted parsonage
The language, with its conventional phrases
Of courtesy shared by all classes. the famil-
lar family life Of proprietor and servant,
master and apprentice, a certain simplicity
and universally of manners inherited from
pioneer days, and a gentleness of temper
ment that may be both climatic and real
which shrinks from giving offense by as
suming superiority Of rank In intercourse
with others, have all contributed to render
class assumptions externally less obvious in
Cuba than in most other countries where
equally great differences OF race culture
and fortune exist
