across Guilds Lake at the Lewis and
Clark exposition is proving tremend.
Gus success, and, as the management
has expected, viii be the feature of the
whole fair period. Attracted by the
show, farmers from all parts of the Pa

road men unite in saying that there are
more people in Portland than at any
other time since the fair opened.
The livestock show is by far the big.
gest thing OF the kind ever held in the
west, and the showing of Shorthon cat
tie is one that never has been sur
passed anywhere. In horses, too, the
exhibition is of the first quality.
Mclaughlin Bros, of Kansas City, Mo.
and Columbus, Ohio, and j. Crouch 4
Son, of Lafayette, Ind, holders of pre-
miums from many fairs have big strings
of imported horses at the show.
Judging of stock has commenced, and

teresting operation every day. The cat.
tie and horses to be judged are brought
into the arena, on either side of which
bleachers, covered with, canvas, have
been erected for the benefit of specta.

and pleasant and everything has made
for the success of the snow.
There was big auction sale of stock
Friday afternoon, and other sales will
be held from time to time. The stock
show closes September 90.

Why Metals Rnst

Gold does not tarnisl like other metal
because it is not acted upon by oxygen
or water. 1t Is the moisture in the at
mosphere which causes other metals to
tarnish, owing to their oxidation. Wa
ter contains a large proportion of oxy-
gen. and 1t is the oxygen. of course,
in the moist air combining with the
surface Of the metals that covers them
with tarnish. Platinum, like gold, re-
sists the influence of oxygen and mois-
ture and when pure neither rusts nor
furnishes. Aluminium also does not
rust, neither hot nor cold water having
any action upon 1t. The sulphureted
hydrogen Of the atmosphere, which so
readily furnishes silver, has no effect
upon aluminium, which under ordinary
circumstances preserves its appearance
as perfectly as gold does. Silver tar
nishes on exposure to the air. the agent
producing this effect being the sulphur.
Iron Is the metal which furnishes and
rusts most easily, its oxidation pro-
ceeding until the metal Is completely
eaten or burnt away with the rust.

WOMEN MUST kNEEL TO MEN

IL The Lnw Among Many Tribes of
East Central Africa.
Men i'll Africa, and especially in east
central Africa, believe that their won-
en- are their Interiors, and many cen
turtles ago, says the Chicago Trib-
une, they made Il law that has worn it
self into IL custom that Women must
acknowledge this by always linceling
when they meet a man.
Duff Macdonald, who spent many
years MS missionary in that. country.
says that African women hold most
degraded position and are locked upon
pretty generally us beasts of burden
capable of doing all the hard work.
When II woman meets any man, he il
her husband or IL stranger, ut home or.
Oh the road she is expected To .'taidi.
wala"-that is. to knecl and clap her
hands to the lord of creation as he
passes. Although II woman may have
slaves of her own, she observes; this
custom whenever she meets them on
the highway.
Macdonald adds: "Whenever we saw
woman go out of her way with the
Intention Of lneeling before lis. though
she carried a hundredweight on her
head, knowing that she would have to
get up with it, we shouted, You are
losing your way; this is the path and
she took it, glad that she might dis
pense with this CUSTOM"
Certain it is that if the African wo.
man kneels before Il stranger or slave
she prostrates herself most humbly be-
fore her husband, her lord and master.
He Is her father, and she is his child;
he commands, and she obcys; he may
infiict punishment, and she accepts it.
The title of father is given to all
old people. A man Of thirty will say.
Il am only a child; ask the old man"
The woman must submit of course
She Is her husbands chattel; lie has
bought her for two skins of bucks,
and this is fair price for one wife.
He often gets them in payment for
debts.
If girl is not a first wife she counts
for little, as these Africans usually
have one chief wife and three or four
w ives. ~ ultIl WHO Is married Il
few years is expected to have Junior
wives. The chief wife has the super
intendence of the others and looks
after the household. The punishment
she infiicts for laZiness is to Danish the
Junior wife from her meals until hun
ger brings her to her senses. If a
junior wife is obstreperous she is put
in Il slave stock.
The authority of a chief wife is not
matter to jest with. If Il junior wife
gets unruly the whipping post is made
use of. This does not annoy her lord
for African men have little sentiment
for their wives and feel none for their
junior wives. They are his chattels,
having the same value rs his cattle
perhaps less. When man is pressed
for money he usually sells his wife and
not his cattle. He expects them to cul-
tivate the soil and cut down the trees,
and when he finds time or has the in
clination he helps them

sugar. which he speaks of as honey
found in canes" Status in his de-
scription of the Saturnalla says that
among the food which the Emperor
Domitian made the people at those
noisy festivals scramble for was u
sweet substance obtained from Ara
bian canes. Other classical writer's Of
about the same period describe 1t also
as Il kind of honey found in canes and
not made by bees. Strabo adds that in

sugar cane was introduced into Sicily
in 114S and soon afterward into Spain.
Thence sixty years later 1t was taken
