est in the subject by voting to pay it's
portion of the expense of the coming

PERFUNCToRY AFFAIR.
Crowd Small and Paid Liiale Attention
TO the Exercises.

From accounts given by those who
returned last evening from Portland
after having attended the exercises
on "Pendiston Day." the occasion
was not the gorgeous affair indicated
by the accounts given in the Portland
papers, and, in fact, was very per-
functOTy According to Mr.. RAIDER
the speeches and recitations given
were very creditable, but the majority
of those who heard them did not un-
derstand the occasion.
The exercises were held at the Ore
gon building, and music was furnish
ed by band. Addresses We're made
by President Myers, Judge Ayers of
Heppner, Judge Bean of this city. and
by Cecil Wade. Also an original poem
was delivered by Miss Neva Lane. A
small crowd was present and people
continued to go in and out of the en-
trance during the exercises. The la
dies are said to have remained up
stairs during the affair.
OF the hundred who went down
from Pendleton on the excursion
train, only a half dozen were at the
program, judging from the number of
badges in evidence.
Another Date Selected.
Owing to the poor turnout at the
fair on June and the few Pendleton
people present, Mr.. RAIDER states that
the fair management desires to have
another date set for this place at a
later day. and another celebration
held when more people may attend
from here. This matter is said to
have been taken up by President My
ers of the state commission, and 1t is
possible that this city will be allowed
to suggest the date.

Muscles in Tension,

The Revue Scientidque has been
asking what muscles tire soonest, with
the conclusion that it is not the mus
cles in use, but those under tension, al
though doing no work. The writer
urges US to use the arms and legs less
and the back and neck more, for on
them comes the greatest strain. He
has been asking men Of all occupations
the same questions:
When you have worked much, where
do you feel tired?
Before you were trained did fatigue
show itself in the same regions?
All the answers point to the same
conclusions. The baker who kneads
dough all night complains of fatigue
in his legs.
The blacksmith is tired, not in his
arms and shoulders, but in his back
and Ioins.
The young soldier, after a march, is
especially tired in the back of the
neck, even if he has carried no KNAPP
sack.
The oarsman who is in perfect train.
ing after prolonged exercise gets tired
in his calves and insteps.
These facts point to the conclusion
that in any continued effort we should
try to alter the habit of contraction
That is to say, the body, like the mind
needs change of work.

A Scarborough gentleman was sur
prised recently to find thirty eight pins
In his breagfast egg, and most other
people would have been surprised, too,
under the circumstances. There ought
to be a collection Of miraculous eggs
somewhere. 1t was only two years
ago since hen laid an, egg at Bed
ford with penny in it. There is no
doubt at all as to the fact, but the
question, "How did the penny get in
side the egg?" has never been quite
satisfactorily settled.
A comparison puzzle is afforded by
a market gardener, well known at
Spitalfields market, who once lost and
found half crown under almost in
credible circumstances. He was in
specting his crops when he dropped
the half crown on the ground, and
though he searched long and diligent-
ly, he searched in vain. A year passed
and the incident was being forgotten,
when, as he was selecting some pota-
toes for the market, Mr.. Smith came
across one Of a very curious shape.
Cutting it open to discover the cause
of its eccentricity, the gardener found
inside it the half-crown piece he had
lost twelve months before. The po-
tato was seen by hundreds of people,
and the truth of the story is well

Time and Books.

The economy of saving time is wise,
but there is an economy of spending
time. In reading, especially, hurry is
most wasteful. Reading is the max
ing of thoughts, of ideas, of pictures in
the brain. All young photographers
know how little is to be made out of
an "under-exposed plate" but do they
understand that there may be such a
thing. as an under-exposed brain? 1t
takes time to make impressions on the
mind. If you read too fast, either
aloud or to yourself, or skim over your
reading, the mind receives poor i'm
pressions or none at all.-St. Nicholas.

Ore and Fuel.

Pennsylvania, which makes more
than half the iron used in the United
States, produces less than per cent
of the iron ore mined. Ohio, which
comes next to Pennsylvania as an iron
maker, mines less than I per cent of
the total. In both cases the ore is
brought to the fuel, and this is the
policy in this country. Only in Ala
bama are the ore and fuel found to-
gether.-Scientific American.
