Why Father HeaIy Was Glad.

The following story is told by a
bicgraDher concerning Father Hea-
ly, probably the cleverest Irish wit
of modern times:
The priest was once visiting a
prominent nouveau richie neighbor,
who took him to see his gorgeous
and seldom used library.
'There," said the vulgarian, point

"are my best friends"

ARCHITECTURE.
IT'S Origin Was In the Primitive Abodss
Of Early Tribes.


The primitive abodes of early
tribes have left their impress upon
the architecture of more cultured
times, for various features of the
most elaborate buildings are pre-
saged in the rudest structures. The
dome is seen in mound dwellings
and in the Eskiho's snow hut, slop-
ing roofs, in tent flies, many stored
masonry, in the elevated chambers
of cliff dwellers, pillars in natural
rock supports in caves, towers in
treetop lookeuts, spires in tent
poles.
An arbor formed by INTERVIEWING
the branches of adjacent trees would
in time be elaborated by the addi-
ton Of branches severed from other
trees and of stakes to help support
this augmented roof. Thus would
be developed eventually inclosed
huts with roofs of thatch, and these
by gradual stages would give place
to cabins and framed houses.
Similarly wigwam develops into
tent, and this by the substitution
Of more substantial material be-
comes permanent building.
Cave dwellers naturally enlarge OF
multiply their abodes by excavating
chambers in the mountains. This
leads to the use of piers or pillars as
need requires to support the roof,
and masonry is a logical sequence.
From an unhewn stone, set up to
mark burial place or to commem-
crate some event, a polished MONT
ment is gradually evolved, and
modification Of mere stone heap,
or cairn, results in a pyramid or
other symmetrical tomb.
A tree trunk fallen across
stream or stepping stones through it
were the forerunners of modern
bridge architecture.

FOR VISITORS
TO EXP0SIT ION
MAYOR GEORGE n. WILLIAMS
GIVES OUT AN OFFICIAL
Statement.

Portland, Ore, June 1.-The follow
ing announcement by the mayor of
Portland, Ore, and the president Of
the Lewis and Clark exposition, open
June / to October Is, contains valu-
able information for those who may
wish to visit the great fair of the
far west.
In view of the fact that the attend
ance at the Lewis and Clark centen-
NAL exposition promises to exceed all
early estimates, We take pleasure IN
giving the following Information con.
corning Portland's ability to accommo.
date large numbers of people.
Portland is we'll known as city
where the cost of living has always
been moderate. 1t draws its food sup
plies from nearby points and there
can be no justification for high prices.
The best testimonial that can be paid
to it is that it has many times in the
past entertained national conventions
of considerable size and has never
been known to take advantage of its
guests by increasing living expenses
Hotels Numerous.
In anticipation of large attendance
| at the exposition, Portland has made
| abundant preparation to care for its
visitors. Besides the forty permanent
hotels of the city, there have been
made available a score or more Of
temporary hotels of substantial con
struction. Accommodations TO sui

RESOURCES OF JAPAN.
Agriculture, Economy and Patriotism
Assets for a Protracted War.

Agriculture, Economy and Patriotism
Assets for a Protracted War.
The resources of Japan are chiefly
those derived from agriculture, the
mines and fisheries, and to this fact
Count Okuma, one of Japan's ablest
financiers, attributes the ability of his
country to provide the means to carry
on the war with Russia. The manu-
featuring industries of such progress
sive country as Japan are bound to
develop in the future II the country
enjoys long season of tranquility;
but, at this juncture, Count Okuma
regards the countrys dependence up
on agriculture as the great element
of its financial strength. This phil
osophic statesman holds that coun.
try of farmers is peculiarly fitted to
conduct a long war on the financial
side. 1t is essential, he urges, that
a nations resources of income should
be beyond the reach of immediate
disturbance"
Nature will produce her increase
| whatever wars may rage. In the case
! of Japan, the withdrawal of 100000
men for army service, says Count Ok
una, must be injuriously felt, "but
those that remain. the women, the
youths, the children and the elders,
work all the harder" From seven
eighths of the national income of ia.
pan comes from natural products. The
country is easily self-supporting. The
average family expenditures of ia
panese family. including taxes, are
about $40 year.
In his recent statement Count Ok
una expressed the belief that, if the
spirit of economy be encouraged, the
income of Japan will yield sufficient
TO continue the war into 1906, and
that the country would not seriously
fel a further addition of 100, 900, 900
yen of taxation. AS an agricultural
state, he regards Japan's position as
fortunate in the present crisis of her
affairs. He compared the situation
to that of Europe in the time of the
Thirty Years War. the Seven Years
War, and the Napoleonic wars. Eu-
rope could not bear ID three years
war now, her income being largely de.
rived from industries; but if her pur.
suits were mainly agricultural, she
could continue fighting for a long per.
iod."
The complex modern industrial sys
TEN is extremely sensitive to the dis
turbances created by war. Countries
extensively engaged in commerce will
exhaust every resource known to di
plomacy before they declare war
Count Okuma's statement that Eu
rope could not conduct a prolonged
) war in these days is not wide Of the
mark. The indirect losses which
would follow such blow to industry
give pause to the great manufactur
ing countries. 1t is hard to subdue a
nation of farmers, as England discov
4 cred to her cost in the war with hel
r American colonies. Count Okuma
D makes much of the fact that during
[ the Transvaal war, fought against
5 farmers, England was obliged to raise
: its rate of interest from 2 to
though the opulence of Great Brit
ain is proverbial.' -Philadelphia Led
