OREGON WAS FOUNDED BY HUNTERS

government of which the town meet
ing system of New England is the
mother, and from which the late
able historian, John Fiske, claims,
Newtown, Conn.,, as the birthplace
of representative democracy. 1 ask
you to scrutinize and you will see
that the town meeting never travelled
west of the Allegheny mountains. The
leading minds that planted the seeds
of government in Oregon followed
more closely the system Of which Vir-
ginia was the mother and type. And
their work was perfected within two
years, by the Applegates, Burnetts,
waldos and others mainly of Virginia
stock from Kentucky, Tennessee,
Ohio. illinois, Iowa and Missouri.
These were the origins of the men
who led the advance to Oregon and
by occupation won the land. Pres
ident Roosevelt has said as an histor-
ian that the men who carried the
flag of the nation westward by pack
trail or rude wagon road stand next
to those who prevented division of
union of the nation in the historic
value of their labor. That is high
praise for one who has himself faced
the wild. The future historian of
Oregon will probably add even to
that.

Berlin, May 15.-The question of
the predetermination of sex received
much attention at the medical con-
gress which has just concluded its
sessions at Wiesbaden. In a paper on
the subject, Dr. WE'LL, celebrated
specialist Of Schwalbach. asserted
that the class of food eaten by the
parent plays great role in determin-
ing the sex of the embryo. Expert
ments made with bees, rabbits, pigs
and cattle, show that II in the nour-
ishment the carbonaceous element
predominates, more male progeny Is
produced; II the albuminous elemen,
predominates there are more fe.

for ascendancy between the male eel
and the female cell, and careful diet.

A IAerarY Myth.

Thomas A. Janvier, in Harper's
Magazine for May, writes of the gor-
geous and solemn funeral pageant of
Edward rs Queen Eleanor, and the
towns through which it passed. Incl
dentally, he skaters a pretty myth
in the history of these two royal low
ers:
1.-THE authoritative modern histori-
ans of Edward rs reign, am glad
to say, are at one with the much less
authoritative chroniclers in holding
that welding of state ended in a we'd
ding of love. And they equally are at
one, add regretfully, in ignoring or
in denying the famous poison-sucking
story-dwelt on delightedly by so
many of the chroniclers as a proof
of Queen Eleanor's devotion to her
husband-that the ingenious Weever
(1631) sums with a glowing terseness
in these words: Eleanor
went with him into the Holy Land,
in which voyage her husband was
stabbed with a poisoned dagger by
Sarazen, the ranked wound thereof
was judged incurable by his Physi-
lldllSY yet bht u1lig e1llu lli6hNAy ohNhAON
out the ranke poison, and so by ad-
venturing her own, saved her hus-
bands life.'
Much against my own inclination
which ever is toward believing in
what ought to be true because it is
Appropriate must admit that the
historians are right in treating this
pretty story as a bit of pure romance.
It was not applied to Eleanor and
Edward-it had its start with a myth
ical royal couple long before their
time-until the middle of the fif-
teenth century; when it was told by
the learned Sancius de Arevalo ID
1470) in his 'Compendiosa historic
hispanica' in illustration of the con-
| jugal virtues of his countrywomen
From that source Camden took II
bodily into his Britannica (15S6) and
so gave it the place in English legend
