Expert Ring Blowers.

The Japanese are experts on smoke
rings, and it is said in Japan it is con-
sidered no uncommon trick to blow
three rings of smoke in succession, the
second travelling through the first and
the third through both. Some stage
performers are credited with becoming
so expert in smoke blowing that they
are not only able to multiply the num-
Der of rings thus made, but actually
form Japanese characters representing
words and sentences. One Japanese
juggler, it is declared, proposed to his
wife by forming the characters repre-
senting his avowal of love through a
thin stream Of smoke.

The GOrdian Knot.

The Gordian knot was said to have
been made of thongs used as a harness
to the wagon of Gordius, king of
Phrygia. Whosoeyer loosened this knot,
the ends Of which were not discover
able, the oracle declared should be rul-

military sense at least, interpreted the

Christmas Presents.

The giving of presents on Christmas
day undoubtedly owes it's origin to a
general idea to carry into practice the
biblical mandate, peace on earth;
good will to men, At first the great
lords made presents to their retainers,
and the season was marked by uni
versal charity. By degrees the practice
Of Christmas giving spread until now
everybody gives his or her friends pres
ents.

Sugar Beet Acreage Increased.

Mr.. f. S. Bramwell, the outside su-

states that the sugar beet acreage un-

greater than ever before, and now
approximates 5000 acres. There is
no doubt that this will be largely in
creased within a few weeks. The
contracts are being renewed in the
localities where beets were grown last
year. There will probably be also a
larger acreage in the vicinity of Echo
than last year.-La Grande Chronicle.
