AN IRRIGATION EXHIBIT.
Oregon Exposition Will Show What Has Been Done to Redeem
 Arid Lands.

Because of the large amount of land in the Pacific northwest which has been reclaimed by irrigation, and the larger amount which is at present worthless on account of the lack of water supply, the irrigation exhibit at the Lewis and Clark exposition will prove unusually interesting, says a recent account. The exhibit will be complete, we'll arranged and instruct i've and will prove marvel to east ern people, who know little of the won derful results which an artificial wa ter supply has accomplished in many western districts.
 The exhibit will consist largely of working models of irrigation projects. the largest being patterned after the 8, 3,000,000 plant now being built in southern Arizona. The models will show the manner of storing the water by reservoirs, the method of carrying 1t into the lowlands by means of

IT'S A MODERN MIRACLE.
Hew the Coachman Keeps His Tall Hat On in the Windiest
 Weather.

There are three things have never yet been able to clearly understand, syas a writer in the London Graphic. The first is how a train keeps on the rails; the second how weli-staircase endures SO long without perpetually collapsing; and the third. which is the most difficult to comprehend of any, how a coachman manages to keep his hat on.
 In the stormiest weather-when most hats are taking fight-when it is blowing fercely and raining vindic- lively. you may see a coachman driv- ing pair of spirited horses and both hands so occupied that they could not touch the brim of h.s topper, and yet he never loses it.
 How is this? Does he use some ad- hesive composition to make it fast to his head. has he an invisible string fastened under his chin, has he some extraordinary method of developing his

canals and fumes, and it's final distri- button to the lands to be irrigated. There will also besmodels of daHss and reservoirs, and an exhibit of instru ments used in deteenining the amount of water which may be util- ized from any given stream.
 In addition to these displays, there will be d practical illustration of irri- gation methods on the grounds back of the government building. on the peninsula in Guilds lake. where there will be a small farm with crops grow ing on land actually irrigated

Golf for Youths.

Sir Hallewell Rogers, a practical golfer, presiding at the annual meeting of the Warwickshire County Lawn Ten his association, said il was great mis- take for young men who had just left school to begin to play golf They should first take up a game involving greater and more invigorating exercise than golf could provide. Golf was more a game for old and middle-aged men than for young men. who should first try their hand al tennis.-London Daily News.

The chance of his life has come to Robert Mantell. A young woman has written him offering to liyen up bis productions by playing mouth organ solos between the acts.

before settling I noticed our cat stealth

reposing. paid no attention to her, as
I thought she was going to catch bird
for her dinner. I was deeply interested in
my grammar and was reading that part
which gives the difference between a
clause, group of words containing sub
ject and predicate used as part Of speech
and the claws of cat, when there was
rude bump on my head and long scratch
on my face. It was the cat. She had
leaped for bird, lost her balance, and
fallen on my head. In trying to regain
herself she dug her claws into my face

cat s claws. --..- -
