The Clergyman. Hobbyhor.s.

Visitors to a quaint little church In
England observe a curious relic in the
shape Of high stool with a leather
top like a saddle. The parish clerk
shows not little pride in this relic and
tells its story with relish. During the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
the country parsons were accustomed
to spend much OF their time hunting
with their country squires. Often
times the fox got more attention than
the sermon on the following Sunday.
Such was the case with the parson who
left the saddle stool behind him as a
relic Of the days Of fox hunting par
sons. He was a good deal more at
home in the saddle than in the pulpit,
so In order to introduce some Of the
life and spirit into his discourses which
he felt while in the hunting field, the
reverend gentleman had this saddle
stool made. 1t was placed in the pull
pit before the parson mounted the
steps. Once astride this hobby the par
son was able to reach much higher
degree Of enthusiasm and elOquence
than he could have unmounted.

A Disconnected Committee.

Ferdinand Hassler, the father of the
United States coast survey system,
was once waited upon by committee
of congress sent to inquire into the
progress of the work. The committee
reached New York and wended their
way upstairs TO the room where Hass-
Ter was drilling his classes and prepar-
ing them for the work. Hassler, who
allowed no intruders, met them at the
door and inquired their business. They
answered that they had come to in
vestigate. what part Of the work do
you wish to inspect?" inquired the
Swiss mathematician. Congress had
no definite idea on that point. Then
you had better go and find out" re-
turned Hassfer as he shut the door in
the faces of the astonished commit
tee The committee looked at each
other and on second sober thought con-
cluded that Hassler was about right
and quietly wended their way down
stairs and back to Washington.

A Toad's Cunning.

A scientific journal tells this story
of toad's cunning: A brood Of chick
ems was fed with molstened meal in
saucers, and when the dough soured
little 1t attracted large numbers of
flies. An observant toad had evidently
noticed this, and every day toward
evening he would make his appearance
in the yard, hop to saucer, climb in
and roll over until he was covered with
meal, having done which he awaited
developments. The flies, erkiced by the
smell, soon swarmed around the schem-
ing batrachian, and whenever one pass
ed within two inches or so Of his nose
his tongue darted out and the fly dis
appeared. The plan worked so well
that the toad made a regular business

In typhoid fever the intestines are
the seat of the trouble, and all solid
foods should be debaTed. Here nutri-
tious broths and liquids are needed,
but no meat should be given until the
temperature has been normal for sew
eral days. In scarlet fever avoid all
nitrogenous foods, because the kidneys
and skin are congested, and those are
the organs that excrete nitrogen Their
work should be lessened, not increased.
For this reason any Of the legumes,
beans, peas or lentils should not be
used. Broth made from them would be
most disastrous, while beef or mutton
broth, which is less nutritious, can be
readily assimilated.

THE TIME WILL COME
When the Advice Of This Pendleto9
Resident VIII Help You.

Very few people are entirely free
from backache. It does not take
much to derange the kidneys. A lFt-
tie cold, a strain, STOPPING positions
or hard work overtax those delicata
organs and many aches and palnG
promptly follow. A Pendleton citi-
zen tells you here how every kidney
ill can be relieved and cured. Read
about 1t:
H. A. Thompson, retired, who lives
on Stonewall jackson street. says:
my kidneys troubled me by spells
for 10 years and at such times with
a steady, dull aching across my back.
I used large quantities of various
kinds of medicine said to be good for
It. Finally I got a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills at the Brock & McComaS
Co. drug store and found them 20
be just what 1 needed. They went
right to the spot and not only re-
ieved my backache, but cured it per-
manently. l will be only to pleased

Since the Pendleton school district
and Pendleton Academy are consid-
ering the advisability of building sep
tic tanks, to receive the sewage from
the school buildings, the working and
management of the septic tank will
be interesting to the patrons of those
schools.
La Grande school district and the
La Grande court house are now
equipped with the septic tank and in
both instances the system is COM
plete and perfect in every detail, caus-
ing no trouble whatever, and being
a perfect manner of disposing of the
sewage from a public building.
The La Grande high school building
is equipped with one large septic
tank, the entire area of the two cham
bers being about IL feet square, inside
the stone walls. This tank success
fully disposes of the sewage from all
the toilets in the building, which ac-
commodate over 500 pupils.
The septic tank is simply a sealed
vault containing two chambers, per-
fectly air tight, with an overflow pipe
from the auxiliary tank, the residue
of the sewage delivered TO the out
| side, to be carried away in water
pipes, being but 80 per cent of the
gross amount of the sewage first de-
livered into the tank and this residue
being go per cent pure water.
Is Scientific Principle.
The basis of the system is the de-
composition and destruction of the
gases in the sewage. by chemical ac-
tion of the gases in the air tight
chambers. At first a heavy scum is
formed over the sewage, in which is
accumulated all the impurities of the
sewage, and which is self-consumed,
as the fresh sewage from the building
is added. The residue remaining after
the impurities are consumed, in this
scum, is allowed to run off through
pipe forced open by the weight of
the water and sewage in the tank,
and automatically sealed against the
admission of air
The first tank is constantly agi-
tated by the delivery of sewage from
the building, while the second tank
is always perfectly still, this being alb
solutely necessary in order to allow a
scum to be perfectly formed for the
consumption OF the impurities,
Cost $500 for 500 Pupils.
The tank used at the high school
for the accommodation of about 500
pupils, was constructed at a cost OF
about 5000, and after the tank is
once constructed and sealed it re.
quires no more attention, as the ac-
ton of the gases i'm the sealed tank
is a sure and unfailing scientific
principle, which needs no regulation
The very small overflow of pure
water from the tank is easily disposed
of and taken altogether, the system is
one of the most cleanly and perfectly
sanitary known for public buildings
There is absolutely no odor, no sewer
gases. nor leaks nor breaks In pipe.
or misfit connections. 1t is simply a
sealed vault, in which the sewage is
delivered and from which it emerge:
in a small percentage of its first
quantity, in the form of pure water.
1t cannot be used where the sew
age from kitchens would be delivered
into the tank as the bulky and vari
Gus substances do not yield to tht
chemical action, as do the plain gases
and impurities from toilets.

BUYS FOOD ALIKE FOR WARDS.
State Makes No Difference Between
Prisoner and Head Man..


Des MONIES, June 10. 1.-The state
now buys only one class of goods for
all the inmates of it's institutions,
whether patients, prisoners or Off
GERS, and that the very BEST" declared
John Cownie of the state board of con-
troll as he pointed to fine display Of
grocery samples in the rooms of the
board at the state house. Before the
board Of control took charge there was
time when the superintendent Of
some of the institutions drank 40 cent
coffee while their patients were serv-
ed with s cent coffee. Now all drink
alike and that the best we can buy.
1t does not cost the state any more
either.
"The preparation of the foods for
the tables of the officers and patients
may vary a little according to the
cooks, but the prisoners at FIT. Madison
have as good food as the old soldiers
at Marshalltown. 1t is all good. The
board of control buys the best it can
get and no one gets any better than
any one else in the state institutions.
The state board of control has not
heard anything further from the Scott
county board of insanity commission
ers who complained of the food served
at the Mt. Pleasant hospital. The
board of control has the daily bill of
fare certified to it each week from ev-
cry institution in the state and they
! show that the Mt. Pleasant hospital to
have the same food as the other insti
tutions. No other complaint has been
received by the board of control.

LOST LOVES LOW RATE.
Iowa Man Proposes Plan of Insurance
Against BIiqhted Affection.

Webster City, June 19.-Iowa has a
man who desires to enter into the bust
ness of insuring against unrequited
love. His name is j. M Storrar, of
Burlington. Storrar in long letter
to the insurance commissioner Of Col
orado states that his first idea was to
extend the field Of fire insurance to
the next world, insuring individuals
only and not issuing blanket policies,
such as are issued to farmers on herds
of stock. But it occurred to him that
fire insurance in such a case would
work a hardship on the adjusters, and
Furthermore Inc details Of fixing rates
would be almost unsurmountable.
Then it occurred to him that fire in
surance is extended to almost every
thing except the fire of love, and here
was fruitful field.
In his letter Mr.. Storrar says: such
a scheme feel assured would be ex-
tensively patronized. For instance, a
young man suffering from the fire Of
unrequited love- could prove a case of
partial loss and the amount of damage
payable under the policy would be
certain percentage of the amount in
sured, varying with the age Of the in
sured and the charms of his inamorita
Where the flame is mutual and results
in marriage, it will. of course, consti-
tute a case of total loss and the full
amount of the policy would be pay
able.
Here again there may be some diff
ficulty in fixing rates, but they could
be determined somewhat on the same
lines as those employed at present on
buildings. A stone of brick risk-that
is person of phlegmatic tempera-
ment-would not, of course. have to
pay as much as frame-a highly in
fammable individual Contrary to
what obtains in the case of buildings,
1 would say that the older the risk and
the hazard the less would be the dan
ger
again, it would be absolutely nee
essary to adhere strictly to the rate
regarding unoccupied attics, and as
also to those relating to proximity
hazards. Here is where the greatest
difficulty arises. Of course large adj
dition might be made to the rate
where the hazard comes within ten
feet of the risk, but what are we going
to do when the risk and the hazard &C.
cupy the same chair? So far as I
see the prohibitive list would be the
only solution"
An account of the letter to the Colo
RADIO commissioner has reached the
office Of Auditor Carroll of Iowa, and
has caused a great deal of discussion.
Thus far Mr.. Storrar has made no at.
tempt to gain the opinion Of the Iowa
departm on his scheme, but it is
thought that the attorney general
would not hold, if asked for his opin.
ion, that the scheme came within the
scope of the insurance laws of this
state.
