Cannot Call Convention.

Boise Statesman: In response TO
the question: ''Has there been any
legal provisions made for calling
convention?" Attor
ney General John A. Bagley has
rendered an opinion to the effect
that the joint resolution passed by
the Seventh Legislature, recommend
ing that the electors vote upon the
question of calling a constitutional
convention at the next general cleo
ton, has not been legally submitted
to the electors and cannot be print
ed upon the ballot or voted for in
November of this wear. The reso-
luton, in the opinion of the attorney
general, merely provided mode Of
submitting the question to the cleo
tors but the bill necessary to place
the question before the electors III a
legal manner failed to pass the house
Of representatives.
The resolution recommending to
the electors that a constitutional
convention be called for the purpose
of revising and amending the state
constitution and that the question
be voted upon at the coming cleo
ton, passed the senate on March, 2,
1908, and the house of representa-
tlyes on March 4, 1908. To give
this resolution full effect it was
necessary that bill should be pas
sed authorizing the secretary of state
to publish II certified copy of the
resolution for at least six weeks
,, prior to the election in one paper Of
general circulation in each county in
the state, in order to comply with
; constitutional provisions.
Such a bill was introduced and
passed in the senate but was never
acted upon by the house of repre-
sentatives, hence, the attorney
general maintains, the question can
, not legally be submitted to a vote
at the forthcoming election.

The Worlds Coolest City.

The coolest city in the world Is Va
kutsk, eastern Siberia, in the Empire
of the Car of the Russians. It is the
great commercial emporium of east
Siberia, and the capital of the Province
of Yakutsk, which. in most Of its area
of 1910 6 square miles, is a bare des-
ert, the soil of which is frozen to a
great depth. Yakutsk consists Of
about 400 houses of European struc-
ture, standing apart. The Intervening
spaces are occupied by winter yoorts,
or huts Of the northern nomads, with
eastern roofs, doors covered with hairy
hides. and windows of ice. Caravans

Travelled Under Ground.

A driving horse belonging to Louis
Hewlett, of East Oakland, took an
underground trip at East Fourteenth
street and Broadway this afternoon
which few horses would have sur
vived, and which furnished a lot of eX-
element for himself and a crowd of
onlookers. While fastened to q post
in front of the store the horse freed
himself and started to investigate the
hatchway. Slipping on the cement he
plunged half into the opening, and
when discovered was hanging over the
edge, held back by the harness and
buggy. The sidewalk elevator was
hoisted under the animal, when he
kicked himself free and fell onto the
platform, smashing the mechanism.
There he lay without stirring until men
freed him from the ropes and machin-
cry and dragged him out upon the base
ment floor. Then he was taken to the
freight elevator in the rear and hoisted
into the store, whence he was led back
to the street, trembling, but uninjured.
His owner did not appear until after
the animal had been led away to a
nearby livery stabie.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Fingers Before Knives and Forks,

1t is sometimes hard to decide what
one may and what one may not eat
from the fingers.
Bread, first of all. But it should not
be buttered in a broad fat slice and
eaten bite by bite. A small piece of
bread, preferably not more than enough
for a mouthfui, should be broken from
the bread or biscuit, buttered and
transferred with the fingers to the
mouth.
Then crackers, celery, olives. pickles
Of the small varieties, radisheS and
bon-bons are eaten with the fingers.
Many of the dried fruits should be
eaten from the fingers.
Cake is eaten with the fork or is
broken and eaten like bread.
Corn on the cob may be eaten from
the fingers. 1t is with corn as with
oranges: one never feels quite at his
best eating either, except in the pri-
vacy Of his apartment.
Authorities are constantly warning
against eating chicken, game and like
foods from the fingers. Chicken is
eaten from the fingers, but it is inele-

cred the blow when a white piumed
knight swept up behind him, and with
a ponderous stroke of his sword felled
him from his horse. where he lay
stunned beside his victim.

conqueror placed his foot on Bertram's

But at that moment the king. taking

and the combat ended.
Then, as was previously agreed to,
each knight, without changing his posi-
ton, removed bis helmet and displayed
his identity to the anxious crowd.
And he who had struck down Ber-
tram, removing his helmet. displayed
the features of Reginald De Bracy.
The one who had plotted his death,
too, had fallen q victim to his W vile
plans, for on removing the helmet from
the head of him whom Bertram had
killed, the features Of Sir Richard
Langley were exposed.

Home-Made Garden Tools.

Here are some ingenious little home
made co%ntrivances for the garden sent
in by readers who devised them and
used them in their own gardening.
A Simple Lawn Sprinkler-A spading
fork stuck securely into the ground and
the nozzle Of the hose put through the
handle Of the fork makes a good stub
stitute for q lawn sprinkler.
An Easy Wedding Device-If seed
beds are too wide to be easily welded
from the sides get an inch board, eight
Inches wide, and long enough to reach
across the bed from path to path. This
should be set up on end cleats made
high enough to raise it above the young
plants. Then saw q small box from
corner to corner, diagonally, putting q
three-inch cleat under the bottom front
end. This, placed upon the board
makes a comfortable high-backed chair,
from which one can weed on either
side without injuring the plants with
ones clothes.
An Oyster Can For Weeds-To re-
move tiny weeds and loosen the soil
about rose bushes without injury to
the rootlets, use an oyster can, resting
the bottom against the palm of one
hand and working with the sharp, cir
cular, open mouth Of the can
A Handy Little Sieve-This is made
from an ordinary cigar box. The bot
tom is taken oft and in its place wire
window screening stretched, the edges
Of which are doubled over and tackled
on to the sides of the frame close to
the bottom. For sitting the top soil for
q small seed bed or box, as well as COW
ering the seed, it is invaluable.
A Pancake Turner For Weeds-One
Of the best wedding tools is a small
stiff pancake turner. 1t slips easily un-
der plants and cuts the roots Of the
small, fine weeds.
A Use For Old bottles-For covering
rose or other cuttings take large bot
ties. Saturate q wooden string with
kerosene and tie it where you wish the
small neck of the bottle broken off; APP
ply a match and it will break off
smoothly. These are also excellent for
covering a delicate plant when first
planted. Heliotropes have been saved
in this way when they We're almost

grapherS, as now Outlln41, call lor u
series of reservoirs along the river, to
be formed by building Ugh dams at
points where the opportunities for stor-
age appear favorable. Each dam is
to be provided With a sluiceWay
through its base, in Gder that the
waters may be drawn off as desired,
and also to provide 4 mans of flushing
out the surplus accumIlations OF sedi-
ment. Canals Of greaj size, and OF a
declivity sufficient to larry the silt IN
suspension and not evolve destructive
erosion, will run from the tops of the
dams.

reservoirs of enormo capacity may
be constructed without involving dams

The parallel between the Colorado

when the flood is light, just as do those
of the Nile farmers when similar cohal'

Mum flow OF each river is more than

has the Nile, the means of rendering
productive and habitable its adjacent
rainless regions, that otherwise would
be worse than waste.

The cane he managed to put away in

perplexed him greatly. 1t was too

thought, to rest upon the rough

Lincoln stood there in the gaze of the
assembled thousands, grasping the hat
desperately and seeking in vain for a
safe place to deposit it. Douglas, who
sat Immediately in the rear, saw the
embarrassment of his rival, and, rising,
took the shining beaver from its sorely
