In the Small ice cream parlor

arrangement whereby the Corval-

pedals a tiresome sewing ma
chine day in and day out, but
she will be enabled to attach an

and all that will be required of
her will be to guide the material,
while electricity does the work.

Such is Life.

Man that is born of his parent
is OF few days and full of micro
bes. He goeth to school when !;
| oungster and ,getteth his pant
| padded for something he didn'
do, until he is sick at heart. HI
groweth up like a weed in tht
back yard and soon reaches The
age when he is composed largely
ofteet, freck1es and an appetite
for pie.
About this time he gets too
long for short trousers and not
long enough for long ones, and
goeth away to college, learneth
bow to monkey with a three dol
lar mandolin and play whiskey
poker. He cometh bone big
ger fool than ever and marrieth
sweet young thing whose pa is
supposed to be wealthy but whom
he subsequently ascertains could
not buy the prize rooster at the
county fair.
He worryeth along from year
to year, gradually acquiring Off
spring until his home resembles
a Sunday school class just before
Christmas. He fretteth trying
to figure out how to keep him
self and his dependents out OF
the poor house. His efforts are
rewarded by having his daugh-
tiers run away and get married
and bring home a son-in law
every few days to feast at his
board.
His sons grow up and call him
governor and set him back a five
spot every day or so. About the
time he has acquired enough
lucre for his heirs to quarrel over
he contracts cold and is hur.
ried away before he has time to
have talk with his family. His
sons blow in his money for bad
whiskey and plug hats, and his
wife puts the finishing touches
on his career by marrying the
hired man.-Ex.

Spelling by Ear.

In his usual Strenuous" style
Teddy Roosevelt has made d
resolution that effects every one
on earth, more or less, and will,
if carried out, simplify the study
of spelling until in the future
people may all become proficient
in the art.
The order has gone forth from
Oyster Bay, and dispatch gives
it as follows: ...
Uncle Sam is "thru'' with
Through" The president to-
day announced that the spelling
reform recommended by the Car
negie committee will hereafter
be accepted i'll all departmental
correspondence and official docu-
ments.
Printers, stenographers, clerks
and cabinet officers are ordered
to ''unlearn English as she is
writ. The pubic printer is
ordered to prepare lists of the
frequently used 100 words in the
English language with the new
mode of spelling and distribute
them to all the departments.
The president thinks the re-
form will give to the America 4
language an individuality that
will result in saving time and
trouble for the natives and fo,-
eigners trying to learn it.

Ironing Without Fire.

Another OF the housewives
terro1s is now but a memory,
for no longer ueed she depend
upon a hot stove for ironing day.
Today she can put on her white
dress and slippers, pin a rose in
her hair, place her patent iron
ing board on the shady back
porch and proceed to slide a
shining nickel iron over the spot
less white clothes that are to be
done up, and never a stick of
wood need she burn.
1t has all come about since the
day current electricity has
has been brought into service in
Corvallis homes. The power is
being recognized as another of
the great labor-saving devices,
and people are not slow in put
ting it into use.
Tie irons referred to are heat
ed by electricity, a simple con-
trivance on the fiat end OF the
iron afording connection with
any ordinary electric current
that is within reach. ANY light
bulb can be removed and the
wire attached to the iron. Iron-
ing can proceed while the cur
rent is attached. aud when too hot
the wire can be removed aad the
iron retains heat sufficient to last
fifteen OF twenty minutes before
