the greatest consequence so far as the
little fish was concerned Keeping his

coral was incrusted with mollusks and
sea urchins and where pair of beauti-
full squirrel fish, deeply engrossed in
sentimental affairs, turned to look aft

school of spotted trunkfish played heed

around which three dainty butterfly
fish, clad brilliantly in yellow, were
peering into each nook and corner in
their search for small prey, while
sober cowfish, with his two conspicu-

denly the parrot fish turned sharply
aside to avoid a spot where the reef
was broken by jutting rocks covered
with green ulva. Around this a school
of bright little zebra striped sergeant

CATCHING COLD.
The Way This Is Aided by Imprope
Methods of Feeding

The Way This Is Aided by Improper
Methods of Feeding.
The really important question is, In
what does predisposition consist? We
talk of a man Catching a cold" But
it would be more correct and equally
graphic to say that the cold has
caught the man, for it does catch
him unawares and often when he
least anticipates it. But no cold ever
caught any man unless he had first
prepared the ground for it by careful
process of fertilization.
No amount of mere exposure to a low
temperature alone will cause "cold"
in perfectly healthy man in whom
the product of wear and tear of nerve
and muscle with adequate excretion of
waste products on the one side is even
ly balanced by food supply and exercise
on the other. Where this equilibrium
does not exist such exposure then OPP
crates as Chill"
Now, who are the people who are
liable to catch cold? Not those whose
dietary is so carefully adjusted to the
work they have to do that there is no
opportunity for the accumulation of IN
used foodstuHs in their tissues, but
those who in the better fed ranks of
society eat and drink more than they
need to meet the daily requirements of
their bodily activity and are thus con-
tinually storing up in their tissues and
excreting organs material which if APP
propriately used would form valuable
ammunition for the development of
energy either of body or mind, but
which when stored beyond a certain
point has to be blown off in cold"
or bilious attack" or in a more pro-
nounced fit of gout-Dr. Francis 7.

DUBLIN JARVIES.


The Happy Go Lucky Hackmen Of
the Irish Metropolis.
The Dublin jarvies are not what you
would call good whips They drive, as
unladylike people say, like the divil;
they cut around corners featly enough
and go slashing up heartbreaking hills,
but nine out of ten of them drive with
loose rein. They talk to the fare,
and the little horse runs on, doing the
best he can and following his own
dauntless will. lay no fault upon the

gragh for independence. OF him, too,
it may be said that he serves without
servility.
The jarvy-light hearted lad, be he

fares are jolly cheap. For a "set

VILLAGES IN THE DARK.

Japanese Settlements Amid Dense
Groves of Evergreens.
Without having actually seen them
you cannot imagine how dark some
japanese country villages remain, even
In the brightest and hottest weather.
In the neighborhood of Tokyo itself
there are many villages of this kind.
At short distance from such settle
ment you see no houses; nothing is Wis
ible but a dense grove of evergreen
trees.
The grove, which is usually composed
Of young cedars and bamboos, serves
to shelter the village from storms and
also to supply timber for various pur-
poses. So closely are the trees planted
that there is no room to pass between
the trunks of them; they stand straight
as masts and mingle their crests so as
to form roof that excludes the sun.
Each matched cottage occupies a clear
space in the plantation, the trees form
ing fence about it double the height
Of the building. Under the trees it is
always twilight, even at high noon, and
the houses, morning and evening, are
half in shadow. What makes the first
impression of such village almost dis
quieting is not the transparent gloom,
which has certain weird charm of its
own, but the Stiffness
There may be fifty or a hundred
dwellings, but you see nobody and hear
no sound but the twitter of invisible
birds, the occasional growing of cocks
and the shrilling cicadae Even the
cicadae find these groves too dim and
sing family. Being sun lovers, they
prefer the trees outside the village l
forgot to say that you may sometimes
hear viewless shuttle-chaka-to
chaka-ton-but that familiar sound in
the great green silence seems an elfish
happening. The reason of the hush is
simply that the people are not at home
All the adults have gone to the neigh
boring fields, the women carrying their
babies on their backs, and most of the
children have gone to the nearest
school, perhaps not less than a mile
away.-Atlantic.

This is the old legend of how the
rose came by its thorns: One day In
paradise Cupid was flying over gar
den of roses. Blossoming there was
beautiful pink rose. Cupid bent to
kiss it when a bee hidden in the flow
er stung him on the lip. Crying with
pain, Cupid fed to Venus, his mother,
demanding vengeance. Venus, to paci-
fy him, gave him bow strung with
captive bees and set the stem Of the
rose with stings torn from the poor
bees. Thrse stings now are called
thorns.

One day in the cloakroom of the SEN

of the members told the following
story:
There lived in Lee county, KY, a

Jesse entertained the notion that the

to be compared with the jurists of the
old days. One day as he was entering
the courthouse at Beattyville he MOTTO

by their conversation, stepped up to

Water Committee.


In accordance with the provis-
ions of the Corvallis Water Bill
said commission met last Friday
evening and were called to order
by Senator Avery. At this time
permanent organization was ct
fected. P.1Avery was elected
president; S. L. Kline, clerk or
secretary of the committee, ana
E. Woodward, treasurer. All
mem bers of the water committee
were lot present, but enough
were in attendance to fern a
quorum.
Thursday, July 6, 1905, was
the date set for holding an elec-
ton to determine whether the
citizens would vote bonds or no
! bonds. President Avery was
elected a committee of one to see
that proper publication was given
the matter of election.
We are informed that Engin-
eer c.. N. Miller has based his
estimate of cost on 13 and a frac-
ton miles OF piping within the
citylimits; ;16 miles mainpipe, from
Rock Creek to this city;a reservoir
on Baldymountain of $50, 900 gal
Ions, aBaldy being about fou,
miles from this city; 40 hydrants
in various parts of the city,
against 9 at present, and pro.

A mass meeting for citizens
was called for last night at the
court house, at which time Mr..
Miller was detailed to undertake
to explain the water question and
his estimates. It is understood
that according to his figures the
