Ancient sky.craper~.

Il Numerous conflicting estimates have
been made of the height of the tower
of Babel, but one fact never has been
denied, and that is that it was sky
scraper. St. Jerome, in his commen-
tary on Isaiah, says that the tower.
was already 1000 PAGES high when God
came down to stop the work. A pace
is about 21a feet; therefore 1000 PAGES
must be 10000 feet; consequently Ba-
bel was 20 times as high as the Pyra-
mids (which are only about 500 feet).
Father Calmet says the tower was 81
600 feet high, and that the languages
were confounded because the archi-
tects were confounded, as they did
not know how to bring the building
to a head. Moreover, it is understood
that the Chinese language of to-day
was originally the same language as
the high German.

Washington, March 18.-The Or
egon delegation has run against an
unexpected snag in its effort to So
cure the appointment of Dresser as
Register of the Oregon City Land
oMca. More than week ago it re-
commended Dresser's appointment,
but the president did not send in
the nomination. This mornirg the
delegation called at the White
House 10 ascertain the cause for the
delay. and the president told the
members he was somewhat embar-
rassed. He said that at the time
Bibee was appointed receiver at Or
egon City. Senator Simon had COM
planned of being Disseminated
against in the distribution of pat.
ronage, and that be (the president)
had promised that Simon could
name the successor to Moores. He
showed the delegation copy of his
letter to Simon to this effect, aud
said his promise had been called to
mind since Dresser had been re-
commended.
1t is not improbable that the
matter may have to be comprom-
ised by allowing Moores to continue
in Office, as there would be great
opposition by the delegation to the
appointment of George A. Steele,
who was Simon's choice for the
place.
When the delegation left the
White House it did not know what
action the President would take on
the recommendation.

The Benefit Of Chang e.

We are not house plants: We need q
change of soil now and then-.to be re-
planted. New scenes, new experiences.
new Surroundings change of climate,
dry air instead OF moisture, sunshine in
place OF cloud. This is sometimes es-
sential to health. There are conditions
near at hand that are better than Europe
can offer. Take month or two in Cal
ifornia. Plant yourself for time where
there are no irritations. where the hotel
is beyond criticism, the landscape pleas
ing, and where sunny weather invites
to walks and drives, Pure and dry air,
and the increased electric influences of
sunshine are vastly helpful.
You can make this trip at very little
expense, and enjoy ride over the scenic
Siskiyou and Shasta mountains, which
at this time OF the year with their snow
covered peaks. are unsurpassed for their
grandeur.
