soldiers Learning Lanauaee..

The French minister of war pro-
poses to encourage the young soldiers
in the French army to study foreign
languages by the formation of classes.
1t is thought well to teach German in
the north and Spanish and Italian in
the south. A class conducted by a
lieutenant at Paris turns out about
forty students a year proficient in
German. The proposition is thought
a good one. and is to be further de-
veloped.

And talked while hours passed away.

each package contains 16 Ozone full

Starches are put up in %;pound pack

Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. II your grocer tries to sell you

a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.

Genuine Roman Chariot.

The Graeco-Roman chariot In the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New
York. one of the new exhibits. has
excited great interest among artists
and archaeologists. Its preservation
was due to the fact that it was buried
by the ashes Of Vesuvius. Many other
treasures were found in the same
neighborhood. some of which Baron
Rothschild bought and presented to
the Louvre. The chariot in question
is two-wheeled and is perhaps the
rarest in the world.

panied by an unusual degree Of cold
that commenced to blow Thursday
along the coast finally moved inland,
blowing down fences and outhouses
and tearing up trees by the roots In
many sections. The rivers were churn-
ed into raging torrents and in some of
the low lying districts overfoweG their
banks. The Columbia and Willamette
rivers are rapidly approaching the
danger point. but it is believed that
the unusual cold will harden the snow
in the mountainous sections and that
any serious damage from food waters
will be averted.

BETTER WEATHER IS A help
INCREASED ACTIVITY IN BUSI-
NESS rs REPORTED.
Evidences That Preparations Are Be-
ing Made for Heavy Spring
Trade.

New York, March Pr. G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
More seasonable weather has brought
increased activity in business, normal
conditions existing for the first time
this year at many points, and there Is
evidence Of an effort to recover lost
ground and prepare for large spring
trade. Collections are also improving
and structural operations revive with
the higher temperature, stimulating
the markets for building materials and
increasing real estate transfers. There
has been. great damage from floods, al
though the severe winter had caused
unusual preparation for troubles of
this nature. Manufacturing returns
are favorable as to steel and footwear,
but textile mills are not active, and
a further curtailment of cotton spin
ming is probable. Settlement of sew
eral important labor controversies has
been accompanied by new strikes. and
soft coal miners have not yet reached
an agreement with the operators.
Failures this week numbered 259 In
the United States, against 239 last
year, and Is in Canada compared with
% year ago."

lions have improved, and with them

points. Southern spring trade reports
/ continue good, and recent rain or snow
in the southwest, though so light in
some sections as to be of little service
