The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1906-09-13

Seattle is doing her best to outstrip
Astoria in the scope and quality of her
courtesy to the officers and crew of the
Italian cruiser Dogali, and the ship is
q common center of public attraction
and attention of the most genuine sort;
distinctly in contrast with the cool and
shabby treatment accorded the dis
tinguished visitor by the metropolis of
Oregon, who when the vessel was there
was in an aggravated case of sulks on
account of the Dogali's temerity in dar-
ing to stop at Astoria for the regatta
season when she was en- route to Port
land. The commanding fficer at Brem-
ertn has sent an invitation OF the
most cordial emphasis to the italians
to come to the great yard, where elab-
crate provision has been made for Civ
ing her people the time of their lives,

ItalY's Financial Stroke.

From the Eclectic Magazine.
An event Of first ran in the hiSttAy of
European public debts is the financial re-
habitation of Italy as registered IN the
successful conversion of her 4 and 5 per
cent, rents TO a ga basis. OF the total Of
81, go. 600, COO, only SAG, 600 of the securities
were presented for redemption, instead Of
conversion.
In January, 1894, italian rentes were
down to Y on the Paris Bourse and Prem
Ter Crispi had admitted that Italian fl
nances were In pretty bad shape. Step by
step, in little more than twelve years, the
work of recuperation has proceeded.
AT 20 per cent. tax on the interest cou-
pons forced a considerable conversion Of
the ) per cents TO As. The budget was cut
ruthlessly. a surplus began to appear and
the kingdom stopped borrowing.
Three years age Italian currency reached
par OF gold. When a few weeks ago the
conversion plan was preached German
holders of Italian rentes began to sell and
the purchases were made for Italian &C.
count In proportion.
When the conversion went through the
Italian rentes were found to be held large
ly in their own country. This feat of re-
Mobilization was accomplished at a time
when European money markets were IN
der heavy pressure.

Give Your Horse Regular Exercise.


A. to exercise, this must depend
upon what n horse is kept for, and ex-
pected to do, but it must be regular,
and any lack Of it must be instantly
met by a corresponding reduction in
both the amount and the nourishing
quality cf the food. If a horse in reg
ular work is suddenly laid by, as from
lameness or other accident, he must
forthwith be served with a mild ca
thartic like a pint of raw linseed oil,
or a mild aloes ball of W. or three
drachms. Sundays are usually rest
days, and accordingly Saturdays mid
day and night %rations should be light
in character, as those of the holiday
itself. Thousands Of cases of azoturia
are noticeable in all cities every year,
and this is what troubles nearly all
the horses we see fiat in the street so
frequently. Ninety per cent. of these
cases occur OF Monday. for the reason
that the careless owners have not less
ened the feed upon the previous day,
when the Woodworking animal was sud
denly allowed complete rest. At least
five miles daily Is required to keep
most horses 1T, and they are generally
all the better for a ten-mile Pilgrim
age between breakfast and supper, but
every individual case varies.

Brussels special: At the session of

Jean Charcot announced that he was
organizing al expedition to the south

the Belgian Oceanographic society,
stated that that society was organizing
ar expedition to the north pole. The
two expeditions will operate simulta-

Both DR.. Charcot n M. Bernard have
had experiences in polar exploration.
The former, in November, 1908, sailed
from Buenos Ayres on board the ship
Francois for Graham Land, supposed
to be part Of the great antarctic conti-
nent in the western hemisphere, on the
Atlantic side, nearest Patagonia. He
sailed southwest of Cape Horn. For a
time 1t was feared the expedition had
been lost, but in February. 1905. the
Francois arrived safely at Puerto Mad

Zoos Are Expensive.

their ZOOS in good condition. they find thatl

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
People live on sixteen-foot stills in
the remarkable turpentine growing
country Of France. They don these
stills after breakfast. They do not re-
move them again until it is time for
bed.
There are two reasons for the wear
ing of stills in the turpentine country.
One IS the turpentine gathering. The
other is the herding of the great fiocks.
The turpentine ONE from the mari
time pine. This tree is tapped, a shingle
is inserted, and from the single is
pentine drips. The tapping process is
like that used on the American sugar
maple.
Young pine trees are tapped low, but
with each years passage the incision Is
made higher up, so that it is not long
before most of the trees are tapped
twenty or thirty feet from the ground.
Hence the huge stills OF the workmen.
On these stills they traverse the fiat
country, covering five or six yards with
each stride, and quickly and easily col
lect the turpentine that overfiows the
little buckets hanging high up in the
trees.
1t Is for herding also that the stills
are useful. The country Is very flat,
and the berdsman, unless he continual
ly climbed "A tree. would be unable to
keep all the members of his huge flock
in sight. But, striding about on his
stills, he commands "a wild prospect;
he is always, as it WERE, upon a hill.
The silt wearerS carry a f~ifteen-foot
staff with a round. fiat top like a dinner
plate. When it is lunch time or when
they are tired they plant upright under
them the staff and sit dow OF it's
round, fiat top. Then in comfort seated
so dizzily high, they eat and rest and
chatter-a strange sight to behold.
