Expensive Transportation,

1t has been a process longer than
many roads to teach the farmer that
it costs him more to carry his pro-
duce to the nearest railway station
than to send it to the distant market.
From farm to point of shipment is
the most expensive part Of transpor.
tation. But this lesson has been quite
thoroughly disseminated, especially in
the States east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio. 1t has been fol.
lowed by more detailed instruction as
TO materials, grades and draining in
road-construction, and the marked
economy to be effected by the use of
wide tires.
The old national highway, whose
construction first raised the question
of the relation Of the federal govern
ment to interstate communication, is
an enduring example of what national
assistance can accomplish. But the
general policy has been adopted of
leaving road-building to local needs
and energy. ..

PARIS A CHARMING CITY.

Once Rude and RcpsIlent, 1t Is Now
the Worlds Beauty spot.
The history of Paris begins with
collection of huts on the little island
of La Cite, sheltering a horde Of bar
barians about the time when Caesar
invaded the territory with his victori-
Gus army in the century preceding the
Christian era. Paris grew century
after century from such small begin
nings, until the time of Louis XIV,
who made it one Of the greatest of
European capitals in the splendor OF
it's external appearance as we'll as in
its wonderful treasures OF art. Ma
poleon l and Napoleon II did much to
develop the city by improvements re-
quiring immense sums Of money.
More than any other city OF Europe
Paris to-day appeals to a wide variety
of sculpture and architecture. 1t is
an inexhaustible mine, yet at the same
timeit is regarded as center OF ad-
vanced thought and investigation in
every department of science. The me-
tropolis has been for centuries and
still Is the gayest and most brilliant
city upon the face Of the globe, but to
appreciate the Persian capacity for
amusement it should be seen during
the festival of July ii, the date Of the
falling of the bastile, The early part
of the day is celebrated by a parade
of the schoolboys of Paris, who are re-
viewed by the president Of the repub-
lie in front of the Hotel de Vile in
the very square where once the pub
lie executions took place-where the
first victims Of the great revolution
of 1889 were put to death, where Louis
XVI made public submission to the
people, where Lafayette presented
Louis Philippe to his subjects and
where 600 of the communists Of 1871
perished while destroying the grand
old Hotel de VILE
No country in Europe surpasses
France in the industry and self-re-
specting thrift of the people, yet in
Paris is found on every hand pictur-
esque groups of loungers adorning the
steps of churches and public buildings,
These quiet, orderly, apparently peace
full loungers are the very antithesis OF
the nervous, hurrying crowds in an
American city, yet this same indolent
class has formed dangerous element
in the body polite, for in times Of po-
litical strife the fierce Partisan mob
has been largely recruited from these
idle people.

HELEN KELLER's HAND.
Plaster Cast of 1t In Collection OF Law
renee Hutton.

Plaster Cast OF 1t In Collection OF Law
renee Hutton.
Mr.. Lawrence Hutton ia making a
collection Of plaster casts of hands,
says a Trenton special in the New
York Sun. He already has about If
teen specimens. He brought back with
him from Europe recently the ori 1inal
cast of the hand of Thomas Carlyle,
which he picked up in a London shop
for a trihing sum. Among others in
the collection are likenesses Of the
hands of Rossetti, Robert Louis Ste
venson, Lincoln and Thackeray, and
the mummified hands of an Egyptian
princess of the time of Moses. These
Mr.. Hutton has hanging on the walls
of his library. He also has cast Of
the hand Of Helen Keller, the wonder
full blind mute, which he regards very
highly on account Of its artistic finish.
All the lines In the skin, and even the
little nerve cushions on the tips OF her
fingers, with which she feels so aceu-
rately are plainly discernible in the
plaster. Beneath each case Mr.. Hut
ton has written some appropriate lines.
Beneath that of Miss Keller's hand 10
the following:
"She Is deaf to sounds all about us;
What she sees we cannot understand; /;
But her sights at the tip Of her fingers
And she hears through the touch Of
her hands"

THEY COURT CAUTIOUSLY
Lapland Girls Must Have Parental
Consent to Marriage


Consent to Marriage
Getting married among the peoples
of the northern nations is by no means
the off-hand, hit-or-miss affair which
It is with too many people In this
blessed country Of the free, In Nor
way before a woman can marry it is
necessary, under a law recently passed,
that she hold certificate Of house
wife ability. She must pass an exam
ination in cooking, knitting, spinning,
etc, and get her certificate of prof.
cheney In these branches before she can
get her marriage certificate. Also both
bride and brieegroom must show evil
dence that they have been vaccinated
properly. In Lapland 1t is an offense
punishable with death to marry a girl
without her parents consent. No
elopements in that country! When
pair Of lovers apparently have reached
that stage of courtship which calls for
the official cognizance of pa" and
ma" the friends OF the lovers are in
vited to meet at specified place to
see the enamored ones run a race. To
the girl is allowed in starting the ad-
vantage of one-third Of the distance,
so that 1t is impossible for the young
man to overtake her unless she is will
ing. II the girl outruns her suitor the
affair is ended and she thenceforward
IN "only a sister" to him. It Is a
penal offense for the fover to renew his
offer Of marriage, But If the girl is in
the condition Of mind of the immortal
Barkis, she pretends to meet with scne
accident--stubs her toe or gets out Of
breath--and comes to halt before
the course is finished, TO be caught by
the Lapland swain and live happily
ever afterward

Gould Not Be Chef.

The management Of womans
club in London, after advertising for a
chef, received an application from an
individual who said he required no
wages. The committee was curious to
know the reason for so disinterested a
proposal, and learned that the candi-
date was a writer who desired to pro-
duce a book on womens clubs. The
committee promptly rejected his offer.

OREGON TO SAIL
FOR ORIENT SOON
csw of Battleship's Crew Al
lowed to Come Ashore Dur

The battleship Oregon, after lying at
the anchorage off Honolulu for about
two weeks, will sail some time after
nine o'clock tomorrow morning for the
Orient where she viii become the flag
ship of Rear-Admsral Robley D. Evans
who is in command of the Asiatic sta

Only a few of the blue-jackets on the
Oregon Were allowed liberty in Honolu-
lu, those who did get ashore were the
"first-class' men, and even these had to
be aboard again yesterday. The Oregon
has crew composed of many young
men who complain, as young sailors
always do, of harsh treatment by the
first huff" The officer who bears this
Nickname on a warship is the executive
officer of the vessel and it is a general
rule in the navy that first tufts" are
known by each sailor as the meanest
man in the navy" This is not be-
cause the officers actually are mean,
but because they are the ones on whom
the blue-jacket's wrath falls when he
receives punishment, and there are few
some time or another have not been
punished for some action of theirs
which has not been In accordance with
navy regulations. The executive officer
is the man who is responsible for the
discipline of the vessel and consequently
through dealing with many men for diff
ferent offenses he becomes a much-dis-
liked man. A first luff'' who is we'll
liked by the men who don't have COM
missions is one who will seldom adj
vance very far in the navy. On the
other hand the bull" the commander
of vessel, is usually well liked by the
ajority of the men as he and he only
has the authority to soften the disci-
pine melted out to them by the first
huff" Many young fellows on the Ore

HONOR TO DEAD
REAR-kDMIRALS
Salutes OF Thirteen Guns and
Flags at Half Mast at

From sunrise to sunset yesterday
the flags of the Naval Station were at
half-mast and two salutes of thirteen
guns each were fired in honor of two
retired rear-admirals, of the United

Admiral Selfridge died on Sept. s0th,
and Rear-Admiral Jouett on October L.

years old the Admiral was appointed
from Massachusetts, in 1918. For years
he yoyaged in merchant ships as the
navy had but few vessels after the war
with England in 1912. I have heard old

Selfridge in which he recounted the
glories of the days of wooden ships,
boarding, and hand-to-hand fighting.

He became a commodore and in 1866
was retired after forty-five years of
service. But the gallant officer turned
up again in 1873 as commander of the
Mare Island yard and was again re-

In JAIL SIX DAYS
AND DID NOT EAT
Mysterious Asei Sailor Tells
of His Experience in
Oahu Prison..

Brown the mysterious Russian
Esquimo sailor of the Italian ship Wal
lacetown. amused the sailors of the
waterfront yesterday by chapter OF
stories relating to Oahu Jail. The six
ty-year-old sailor had just got out of
the Jail after serving a six days SEN
tenc for being ten sheets to the wind,
and with his steering gear gone.
1.-THE Jail is not rich enough for my
blood" he said. They don't know
how to fix up an old man like me COM
fortably, but / got even with them.
I've got an iron constitution, one that's
stood the feed of the different countries
of the world, all the way around from
Alaska to Labrador, and from Sitka to
Callao. I've fed on pies made of Ari-
IONA rattlesnakes, and I've caught a
sparrow and persuaded myself that it
was a young pigeon. 1 lived on seven
cents day in Chile, and l could have
lived on a cent a day if l had liked to
storekeepers. So you see l can stand
anything. 1 even make believe I'm
dining in Delmonicos fine place in
New York when I'm only having a
plate of soup and two boards-that's
Italian bread if you don't know ton
the floor of the fo'c'sle of the Wallace
town.
We'll, had to spite those lazy jail
people, so I decided not to eat They
tell me I must and bring me before
the warden, charging me with breaking
their regulations. 1 say 1 don't know
anything about the regulations, but
you can't make man fill his insides
if he don't want to, can you? The
warden, he amt a bad fellow, only L
think he's an Irishman, kind of looked
winky-winky like to the native warder
and said he didn't quite know about
that. But l did. I told him to try it
on if he thought he could make me
eat. He couldn't bluff me, though. I
had to go out to my kee-kee and pound
stone. 1 went out all right, but didn't
work. 1t was good for me, though,
because 1 learned a new language.
They call it luna language.
It's hot stuff. 1t sounds some
like English, but you couldn't
find the words in an English. word
box. But l didn't eat. 1 guess
them fellers thought me the won
der of the world. Not a bite for
I six days! How's that for an old demi-
john like me? They got three darkies
over there who tried to break away
from their happy homes, and you can
bet your tucker they're getting it now.
They must stay forty days on bread
and water in the dark hole" But l
could stand on my head for forty days
in the dark hole, with gale o. wind
blowing. and then come out feeling like
I'd had a big luncheon and didn't feel
like any dinner, but might have a cup
of coffee when 1 got home after the
ball at the hotel.

got out this morning, but l thought
best not test my constitution too far,
so went to China persons place and
had cup of coffee and bread and but
