Railroad to Cut
OFT Myers Falls

Judging by the late operations of
the surveyors in the employ Of the
Spokane Falls & Northern, the town
of Meyers Falls may soon pass out
OF existence as regards it's being a
railway point. For a month past a
crew has been working south of
Meyers Falls and also north of there
as far as Marcus. Their object is to
make a new line and cut out all the
old curves, some of which are as
sharp as 10 degrees, and as result
of the work six-degree cruves will
be the highest on the line. 1t will
be necessary on account of having
changed the line to make it fully
nine miles longer and to pass by
Meyers Falls and through the town
of Kettle Falls. Engineer Whitcomb
is in charge of the corps.

There Is no room in our healthy
American life for the mere idler, for

1t Is throughout life to shirk the

Of courage and hardihood of individ-

domination of the law over all men
alike, and through IT'S administration
in such resolute and FEARLESS fashion
as shall teach all that no man is

A Historic Lemon

Who ever thinks of connecting such
commonplace article of diet as the
lemon with the romantic history of ill
fated Anne Roleyn? Yet indirectly she
was the cause of its first introduction
into England and so into popular no.
tice. Henry VIII. gave such splendid
feaSts and pageantS in honor of the
coronation of Anne and of their previ-
Gus nuptials as had seldom been ac-
corded to queens of the blood royal
These kingly entertainments were in
turn followed by the great civic feasts
of London, for which the whole world
was searched for deicaces to add to
the splendor.
At one such banquet, graced by the
presence of the royal pair. lemon
was introduced as an elegant novelty.
To an epicure such as Henry the nc
QUESTION of a castle in France would
have proved less acceptable. and such
was the Importance attached to the
discovery-so says an old biographer-
that 4 special record was made of the
fact that the cost of this precious lem
on was six silver pennies!

Birdlille Reptiles.

The most birdlike reptiles in the
world are the beautiful iguanas of
tropical America. The smallest mem
bers of this family, belonging to the
genus anolis, swarm in the bushes and
trees of the West Indies and in many
points resemble humming birds. Gosse
in "a Naturalist's Sojourn In Jamai-
ca" gives vivid description of them.
On bright day hundreds of these
brilliantly colored creatures may be
seen on trees and fences, entertaining
visitors by their gambols, leaping from
branch to branch, fearlessly entering
houses and even alighting on individu-
ais. When irritated, they will sudden
ly change their brilliant colors for a
dull, Sooty brown
Analogous to these. but not nearly so
graceful. are the flying lizards of the
old world. With hinder ribs prolonged
to support Il parachute-lilke expansion,

ten mistaken for birds as they take fly
ing leaps from tree to tree, for they are

Vernet mt the Sen.

Vernet, the celebrated painter of sea
pieces, eager in the study of nature,
made several long voyages in his youn-
ger days in order to observe the vari-
GUS scenes which the changeful ele-
ments exhibit In one Of these excur-
sions undertaken merely for the love of
the art most violent gale of wind
arose, when Vernet without attending
to the perils with which he was sur
rounded, desired one Of the sailors to
lash him fast to some of the rigging.
Soon after this request was granted
the storm increased, attended with
thunder and lightning and with every
circumstance that could add to the hor-
ror of the scene, and CONSERVATION and
terror sat on every countenance, but
in the young painter every emotion
was lost in that of admiration, which
so wholly engrossed his attention that
he every now and then exclaimed in
the most enthusiastic terms, Good
heavens, what a noble scene!"

The First American Book.


1t is Il remarkable fact that in wear
after the first printing press was estab-
lished in Cambridge, Mass, or in 1910,
an American book was issued from it
(being the first published in what are
now the United States, which was
soon after reprinted in England. where
1t passed through no less than eighteen
editions. the last being issued in 1854,
thus maintaining a hold on English
popularity for la years. This was
the Bay Psalm Book" 1t passed
through twenty-five editions in Scot
land, where it was extensively known,
the last bearing date 1859, and as it
was reprinted without the compiler en-
joying pecuniary benefit from its sale
we have irrefutable proof that Eng
land piratcd the first American book,
being in reality the original aggressor
in this line. This first American work
enjoyed more lasting reputation and
had wider circulation than any vol
ume since of American origin, having
passed in all through seventy editions,
very remarkable number for the age
in which it tlourished.

badness Due to Indigestion.

There seem to be fewer baldheaded
men than there We're years ago" said a
physician. Thine was when four out
of five men more than forty-fve years
old We're baldheaded or fast approach
ing that stage. Nowadays the average
has fallen nearer to two than to three.
Whats the cause? l suppose there
are many reasons, but one certainly is
to be found in the general increase of
outdoor exercise Nervous disorders
result in the falling out of the hair and
impaired digestion brings on nervous
disorders. Exercise, as is we'll known,
stimulates digestion, and there above
all else is the secret of preserving the
hair. Keep your digestion i'll good CON
dition and Your nerves will not trouble
you. All the scalp diseases in the cata-
logue are not responsible for as many
baldheads as indigestion.'

The Noble Charueter

Here is Aristotle's definition of a no.
bic character: He does not recollect in
justice; for accurate recollection, espe-
cially of injuries, is not characteristic
of the magnanimous man, but he rath-
or overlooks them. He is not fond of
talking of people, for he will neither
speak of himself nor anybody else; for
he does not care that he himself should
be praised nor that others should be
blamed
