In Europe and America the drug is

with lime and rubbed with areca nut,
cloves and various aromatics. Then
the native added cocaine and found
man supari" an excellent means Of
taking the drug.
The abuse of cocaine by the natives
grew to such an alarming extent that
two years ago measure was intro
duced prohibiting the sale except by
licensed persons. Native offenders
against the law have been prosecuted
In large numbers.

Every penny given in tips was cast

the manager, according to efficiency

A Glohe-Tro,ting Teacher.

Miss Nina Boegli, a Swiss girl, has
the distinction of having taught school
in nearly every civilized country in
the world, although she is barely q
years Of age. She began teaching
when she was is, and year later de-
cided to take a trip around the world,
making her expenses by teaching in
the lands through which she passed.
With $3.50 and large stock of pluck
and courage as her capital, she
started out, and it has taken her
eight years to accomplish her pur-
pose. During the entire tour of the
world she never met with an accident.
She was treated with courtesy every
where. and had plenty Of pupils in
each country where she chose to stop.
she reports that she found Australia
the most liberal in paying teachers for
their services.

INVENTION OF PORTLAND MAN.
Creating Great Interest Among lrri-
gationists and HYDRAULIC Miners.

Creating Great Interest Among lrri-
gationists and Hydraulic Miners.
What promises to be a priceless boon
to the hundreds interested in irrigating
and hydraulic mining projects is an
invention which has recently bet n
brought to a state of commercial per-
lection by W. R. Phillips, practical
hydraulic engineer of Portland. 1t is
hydraulic ram that will utilize any
fall Of water from three feet up for the
purpose of raising a portion of it to
any desired level. 1t is perfect sub
stitute for the wster-wheel and pump
combined, with greater efficiency. 1t
requires no attention and involves no
cost Of operation.
For hydraulic miners it will convert
the volume of water into pressure. 1t
enables them to dispense with long
and costly pipe lines. 1t will make
available gravel beds heretofore I'M
touched by the hydraulic giant. 1t is
Of unquestioued superiority in its APP
plcation to hydraulic gravel and
water elevators. 1t is thought it will
fill the demand of the hydraulic minei
for some suitable means of exploiting
gravel beds inaccessible to the high
heads of water demanded by the by
draulic giant. Recent reports show
vast areas of such unexplored grave
beds to exist in the Pacific Northwest
In an interview with Mr.. Phillips
from whom the above information wai
obtained, we were told that the license
TO manufacture the ram was sold to thu
Columbia Engineering Works, of Port
land.

Severe Weather.
February is month of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
ATTITUDES, February brings sudden
changes OF temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees
in single night.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole Of North
America:
Ventilation.
The sleeping rooms should be we'll
ventilated, but so as to avoid direct
currents of air.
Bathing.
Those in vigorous health should take
cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take brisk dry-towel-
rub every morning.
Diet.
The diet should be a generous one
including meat, and occasionally fresh
NcBcbdDlcs.
Sunshine
The nights being long and the day
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during th'
day.
Clothing.
The head should be kept cool at al
times. The feet should be kept wal
and dry, day and night.
Pe-ru-na.
When unavoidably exposed to col
or wet, few doses of Peruna will aver
bad consequences.
Precaution.
When seized with a chill, or eve
slight chilliness, a dose of Perun
should be taken at once.

Conquest d d. Great
American Desert


Mr.. Paul Thieman, whoever he NAV
be, says something in recent issue Of
Denver paper which is pat and to the
point. We herewith produce the first
Few paragraphs Of his article:
When one beholds the complaeent
failure to comprehend the nature and
condition Of Far Western irrigation. 1t
Is maddening. l have seen one man.
VINO is thoroughly posted, almost break
INTO wild tears Of rage over the ever
recurring evidences that. the people at
large, the people right here, the ma
uonal government, the State govern
ments, do not appreciate national irri-
CATION, and that the public informa-
ton and the individual knowledge of
the subject at this time are strangely
dense. The public Is fed constantly
with lovely articles about the grand
national irrigation works under way.
while the fact IS that all the great
values mentioned concerning recIama-
ton Of the arid region are the result Of
private initiative and enterprise and
capital.
Few people understand that the ma
tional irrigation fund is nothing but
bulk Of capital which may be advanced
to build reservoirs and bitches, upon a
guarantee that the owners Of the lands
to be irrigated will repay the cost to
the fund. The national fund is not to
be depleted, but must be replenished
by the payment back of the cost of the
work, as assessed by the government
engineers, and If signatures to such
pledges can't be secured, the works
proposed will not be built.
Knowing that all government work
costs vastly more than If done by pri-
vate capital, and the United States
failing to guarantee the limit Of the
cost, lots Of landowners won't sign.
and there you are. Meantime the gov
eminent officials knock private enter
prises and warn the people against
them, when, as the situation stands,
it is only private enterprise, in pro-
noting irrigation district bonds, in Col
orado, at least, that is really doing any
thing.

on rth-devouring monster. The scene
is from a photograph Of the construc-

The excavator travels on its own
railway tracks on each side OF the
canal. and as the work proceeds the
track is taken up and relaid aheao
of the machine.
The steel buckets, which have sharp
emitting edges, move constantly by
rooans of endless chains, and empty
their load Of earth first on one SIDE
then on the other. Wide endless belts
carried on rollers carry the earth to
the sides Of the ditch.
All these movements Of the machine
