A Dor HItcbinr Post.

Every one has seen the dog that rides
behind his master on horseback, and
the dog that leads the old blind man,
and the one that carries his masters
cane or paper. and the dog that can
do tricks, but it has been left to an
uptown cxpressman to utilize his little
spaniel as a hitching post. Almost ev-
cry day he may be seen seated by his
masters side, with n strap attached to
the collar he wears. When the team
stops and the expressman has to go
into the house the dog jumps down,
and his master fasteps the strap 10 the
horses bride. The dog will then sit
down and look up into the horses face
and remain in that position till the ex-
pressman releases him. At this he
leaps into the wagon, and they drive
away.-Philadelphia Press.

Taking Time by tho Eoreloek.

1t was late in the afternoon, just
at dusk, when a carriage, evidently
from the country, drove up to the
door of "Ansoa King, Stationer,"
and a young woman alighted and
entered the little shop.
She asked to see some thin sta
tionery, and after selecting what
she desired she hesitated for q mo-
ment.
HDo you make any reduction to
clergymen?" she asked softly.
Certainly, madam" said the sta
toner, with great promptness. care
you a clergyman's wife?''
'N-no," said the young woman.
"Ah, a clergyman's daughter,
then," said the stationer as he be-
gan to tie up the paper in a neat
package.
"N-no," said the young woman.
Then she leaned across the counter
and spoke in a confidential and
thrilling whisper, "But if nothing
happens I shall be engaged to a
theological student as soon as, he
comes home next month."-Youth's
Companion.

Tn. .piim.oII M.,k ~

Many a person has looked at a
British ship lying in low water and
wondered what was meant by a cir
cular mark with a straight line run
ming through it which is to be seen
on the side of the vessel. This is
known as the 'Plimsoll mari" "
Samuel Plimsoll, the friend of sea-
faring men, devoted the best years
of his life to furthering the interests
of sailors. He noticed that over
loaded and unseaworthy vessels were
often sent on voyages, with great
danger to human life. He tried to
induce the British parliament to
alter matters; but, failing to do so,
he himself entered the house of
commons In 1868 and succeeded in
getting the merchant shipping act
passed. By this act the board of
trade was empowered to detain any
vessel deemed unsafe. Finally own
ers were ordered to have a load wa
ter mark painted upon their yes
sells sides.

HUMAN FRACTIONS.
The Relations They Bear to the Math-
ematical Brand.

Fractions have never occupied my
mind since that golden age out of
which was rudely thrust some thir-
ty years ago. But recently the curl
Gus personality they used to have
for my childish terror was recalled
to me. 81 know fractions" my niece,
Marjory, declared to me the other
day, with conscious wisdom. ''There
are two kinds-common fractions
and decimals. All that are not deci-
mails are common or vulgar"
Common or vulgarl" The for
gotten names came back from afar,
mere conjunctions of curious sylla-
bles without mathematical signif-
canoe, but pushing strange ideas
ahead of them. Why should there
suddenly have been opened up to me
a strange and human aristocracy
among fractions whereby one order
should be assigned the place of ex-
clusion and made the shibboleth,
even among boys-that single class
of humanity to whom we look for
virgin and therefore a true judg-
ment-while all the rest of this
mathematical half world should be
tagged with a double derogation? ?
Whence is the sinister power and the
SNUG respectability Of the decimal?
Has it to do with the money that it
stands for? Has the calculating
arithmetic done this human thing
also?
"Marjory, there is such a thing,
is there not, as an improper frac-
ton ?'
ooh, yes, there is. know about
that too. An improper fraction is a
vulgar fraction whose numerator is
greater than its denominator."
1t would appear, then, that the
arithmetic appreciation of good be-
havior is close to the human. A
fraction has no business to be great
er than it appears to be, no matter
how many integers it may actually
contain. Having the body of a
common fraction, a common frac-
tion it shall be, and an improper one
besides-a case of explicit misbe-
havior grated upon general vul-
garity.-Scribner's.

a Rare Plant.

A year or two ago there were
among the boarders at a mountain
summer hotel celebrated botanist
and certain pretentious rich wo-
man, who liked to make it appear
to the guests that she was very well
informed on all subjects. The rich
woman affected to take an interest
in the researches of the botanist
among the flora of the mountains.

lady, 'you find almost all the noun

THE WORST MOSQUITOES.
Maubin, Burma, Has the Biggest and
Most Virulent Known.

Unsurpassed in all the world in
number, size and virulent activity
are the mosquitoes of Maubin, a
town of Burma, according to V. C.
Scott O'Connor. He says: Cones
first visit to Maubin in the MOSQUITO
season is an experience, and to see
them under the flare of an electric
searchlight come over the ships side
In hordes and occupy like an ire
sistible army every fraction of its
surface, to see them hanging in fes-
toons from the white canvas avn
lngs, the mosquito nets, the table
linen and the punka flaps and from
every object on which they can Sc
cure a footing, is to have lived in
deed. How to continue to live after
the novelty of the spectacle has worn
off Is the definite problem that occu-
pies every ones mind in Maubin. tt
is achieved in the main by intrench-
ing oneself within an iron fortress
of fine mesh. In some houses there
is a special room, a kind of inner
citadel and last refuge, which is
wholly of iron gauze, and within it
the master of the house sits like q
vanquished lion in a cage.
'To enter this fortress in advance
of the enemy calls for the exercise
of agility of high order. The doors
have swing backs and are made to
close the instant that they are re-
leased. Outside them the light cav
airy of the enemy hover in clouds.
The man within, this Englishman
in his strange castle, observes your
approach with furtive and anxious
eyes, and if you be a newcomer he
begs of you7to be careful in entering.
Immediately you enter he falls with
an astonishing onslaught upon such
of the enemy as have come in on
your back, in your hair, in the
creases of your clothes and in an au-
rora of cloud about your brows.
cat one end of the chief magis-
trate's house there used to be, when
l was last at Maubin, long room
thus defended, in which he sat daily
to dispense justice, and great activi-
ty in entering was expected of the
prisoner under trial, the assembled
witnesses and the counsel employed
In each case. Many sentence, it is
whispered, has fallen with enhanced
severity from judicial lips, many a
prisoner has come away with light
er punishment as the consequence
of his manner of entering the court"

The Rev. DIR. Forbes. secretary OF the
board OF church extension of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, has recently
spoken as follows:
"Steeplcs are relics of barbarism and
were used TO point to heaven when il
was thought the world was fiat. Now
that it is known that the world is round
they point the wrong way and should
be demolished. There is enough mon
ey wasted in church steeples TO pay
the debts OF the entire country. Pas

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY"

THE women of Columbus, Miss. strewed
flowers on the graves of both Northern and
Southern dead.l
BY the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fled.
Where the blades OF the grave-grass
quiver,
Asleep are the rauks of the dead.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Under The one, the Blue;
Under the other, the Gray.
Those in the robings of glory:
These in the gloom of defeat;
All with the battle blood CORY
Io the dusk of eternity meet.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Under the laurel, the Blue;
Under the willow, the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe.
Under tue sod aud the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Under the roses. the Blue;
Under the lilies, the Gray.
No more shall the war.cry sev'r,
Nor the winding river be red;
They bauish our anger forever,
When they laurel the graves of our dead.
Under the cod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day.
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears aud love for the Gray

GREAT ENTHUSIASM
Shown by Students Toward New
Y. M. c. A, Building-Have
Subscribed $4,000.

Great enthusiasm is prevail
ing among the college students
in regard to the proposed Y. M.
c. A. students building. The
drill hour Wednesday morning
was devoted to a discussion of
the ways and means of making
the building 60. Comnandant
Ouinlan and Prof. Lake gave
short talk to the assembled stud
ents, giving a brief outline of
the objects and purposes of the
new building, after which the
rest of the hour was turned over
to c. L. Shepard, general secre-
tary of the college Y. M. c. "A.
Mr.. Shepard gave an interesting
talk, telling what had been done
in this line by other colleges,
and what could be done by OAC.
At this time he opened the subs
cription book and gave all who
wished an opportunity of subs
cribing as much as they felt ike
giving. Before the drill hour
was ended $II5o was subscribed
bythe students themselves. After
wards, during the day, others
voluntarily hunted up the list
and put down $3.50 more Thls

has been solicited from outside
parties, although one person ha:

Yaquina Hatchery.

Master Fish Warden Van
Dusen, at the regular monthly
session of the Board of Fish
Commissioners last week, made
the following report of the
salmon hatchery near Elk City:
"On the Yaquina we are hav-
ing exceptional success this year
with our hatchery work and
have exceeded all expectation.
Reports SO far received show that
2,6o7, 900 Chinook eggs were
taken, and 1854, 900 Silverside
eggs, with enough Silverside
salmon in the traps to assure us
of 500, 900 more, which will tax
the hatchery to its fullest capacity
for it was only built to take care
of FIVE million eggs at one time.
The result of such work will
surely be felt on that bay and
will no doubt bring returns that
will assure those people Of $1oo,
900 annually and possibly twice
that sum. So far, we haven't
had much chance to see what can
be accomplished with the coas,
streams, but if they show pro.
portionately with the Columbia
river. and I can see no reason
why they should not, a batch o.
good salmon liberated in gooe
condition ever year in a small bay
like the Yaquina, will without
doubt produce wonderful results. :

Oregon's State Flower.

In connection with the recent
gifts of Oregon grape sent by the
Portland Commercial Club to
prominent Eastern clubs adopted
as the state flower of Oregon,
Geo, H. Hines gives an interest
ing accoutt of the origin of the
shrub and its adoption as the
state flower of Oregon. The
first known reference to the
shrub is in Parsh's "Flora OF
North America," published by
James Black & Son, London,
England, 1876, and it is there
first called Oregon Grape or
Holly-leaved Barberrv.''
'While considered a shrub the
Oregon grape sometimes attains
a height of II feet, with a diane
ter Of four and a half .ches, /"
says Mr. Hines. II have q
sample OF that size IN my Gus
tody now. The flower blooms in
April, is very handsome, though
delicate, and is bright lemor
yellow in color. The fruit grows
in small clusters, resembles small
dark purple grapes, and, while
edible, is verysour, but makes ex'
cellent jelly,
''It was up my motion, at Z
meeting of Oregon Horticulture
Society in 1890 that the ques

age in variegated colors accord

and it's marvellous adapta ion for
decorative purposes at all seasons
of the year. After consideration
by the above society for two
years in which the claims OF
other flowers were urged, it was
adopted on July IS, 1892. The
Women's Federated Clubs of
Oregon secured the passage of res
olutions by both houses of the
state legislature of Oregon, 1899,
formally declaring the Oregon
grape to be the state flower y
