A Dog Habit.

Have you ever thought why 1t is
that a dog turns around and around
when he jumps up on his cushion or
starts to settle himself anywhere for a
nap2 Now that you are reminded you
can recall that you have seen dog
do it many times, can't you? This hab-
it is about all that is left to our tame
little doggies of the days long ago, when
they were a race Of wild animals and
lived in the woods Their beds then
were matted grass and leaves, and 1t
was to trample enough grass and prop
erly arrange the leaves that the dog al
WAYS trod around narrow circle be-
fore he would lie down. The dog of
to-day keeps up the same old habit, al
though there Is no longer any need for
1t, and Of course the animal has no
notion why he does 1t.

INTERSTATE Commission
CUTS AN EXPRESS rate

Washington, May 8.-The interstate
commerce commsson has rendered it's
first decision in case involving the
reasona bleness of an express rate.
The case was brought by the Society
of American Florists, who claimed
that the rate charged by the United
States Express company on cut flowers
from New Jersey points to New York
city was unreasonable, excessive and
unjust. This rate was so cents per
hundred pounds until July 1. 1905,
when it was raised to 81.
Commissioner Lane, who delivers
the opinion, holds that the rate should
be reduced to 60 cents. The ex-
press company defended its increase
in it's rate by claiming that the de-
livery service given cut flowers IN
New York was more expensive than
that given other articles and that 1t
could lawfully increase its rate TO
meet this increased epxense.
The order requires the express COM
pany to reduce it's rates by June 10
and supplies schedule for the COM
pany's guidance.

statement of the charges against the
prisoners came too late, regardless of
whether or not it might have been en-

SUNLIGHT AND THE HOUSE.

Rooms Most in Use Should Be Ar
ranged that They Receive Rays.
Sunlight is natures most health-giv-
ing scavenger. A house without sun
light is unhealthy and unsafe for hu-
man occupancy, and 1t is necessary not
only to have some sunlight, but to have
as much of it as possible. 1t Is, Of
course, not feasible to admit the direct
rays Of the sun to every room of
house; the typical plan Of all houses
is square or rectangular, and at least
one side Of the house is entirely beyond
tie reach of the sun.
The other three sides, however, can
receive more or less direct sunlight
and the problem of the plan is thus re-
duced to arranging the various rooms
so that the amount of sunlight Is adj
iusted to their uses, and it must be
sunlight, for mere light itself Is not
sufficient; the rays Of the sun have
curative and cleansing properties that
nothing else has.
1t Is generally admitted that south
ern exposure is the best for all houses
and should be obtained whenever posi-
BILE. It is immaterial whether the en-
trance be placed on this side or not,
so long as the rooms most in use open
onto that side.
In dwellings of average size the en-
trance front will also be the front on
which any important room opens, but
In large country houses the old dis
tinction of a front and back to house
has disappeared and instead we have
the entrance front and the garden
front; the service and servants quar-
tiers, so long regarded as characteristic
of the "back" of a house, may be rele-
gated to a side end or placed In wing
that abuts directly on the entrance
front. In such cases it must be well
screened and its purpose thoroughly
rdinated-American Homes and
Gardens.

GENERAL TARIFF war
MAY Be FORESHADOWED

Washington, May 9.-The refusal
of the French government to accept as
sufficient for import purposes the tag
OF the agricultural department affixed
to fresh meats has convinced the state
department that an effort must be
made to reach a general agreement
with France to govern mutual trade
relations. Consul General Mason, at
Paris, has called the departments at
tention to a measure now pending be-
fore the French chamber increasing
by more than 400 perc emit the tariff
duties on cotton seed oil, practically
a prohibitive rate. Another French
proposition to which Mr.. Mason calls
attention would without doubt CON-
pletely wipe out the flourishing and
growing American shoe trade with
France, for it purposes an increase of
duty of 60 per cent. There are indi-
cations of urpose similarly to in
crease the duties on American grains
and flours and other agricultural prod
ucts, and further indications that gen.
eral pressure is to be brought to bear
on America ny the majority of the
continental powers to secrue special
tariff concessions as the price Of ad.
mission to their own ports of Ameri.
can products.
In view of the failure of congress to
assent to any of the proposed reciproc-
ity treaties to which the state depart
ment has committed itself, in princi-
pie, the officers are em barrassed in
laying out a course of action that will
prevent a general tariff war.

ed proposals to be opened at the office
Of the reclamation service at Portland

land surrounding Lakes Cleaium'

FINDS PLANT HAS NERVES.

Scientist Discovers Kinship In Sem
s1tiveness to Animals.
Most persons have heard Of the "sen-
sitive plant" which shrinks from rough
handling and expands under gentle
treatment, but the scientific truth that
all plants are sensitive, that they have
a nervous organization like that Of the
lower animals, will be news to many.
This truth was first proclaimed by
Professor J. C. Bose. Previously phys
lologists had attributed apparent evil
dences of sensation In plants to a dis
turbance of the equilibrium Of the wa
ter In their tissues. Now they know
that plants have really a nervous or
ganization and respond in that way to
outside influences.
Professor Bose regards the plants as
a machine, complex, capable of delicate
response to external stimulus inducing
movements and with the power of hold
ing back part Of the energy resulting
from the stimulus shock. The exter-
nal stimulus induces expansion.
The interaction Of this contraction
and expansion is found to account for
the various phenomena characteristic
Of life. Not the least important part Of
this conclusion would seem to be that
it brings into close relationship phe-
nomena between which no connection
could be previously detected He finds
no exception to the rule that response
Is always by concavity Of the more ex-
cited side of an organ.
The rhythmic activity Of the plant It's
sue is measured by the rate Of forward
propulsion OF water due to contractile
response The transmission Of excita-
ton is detected by various methods Civ
ing results In entire agreement. It ID
curious to find that the so-called sensi-
tice plants are In some respects less
sensitive than their fellows which were
supposed to be insensitive.
Among the most interesting Of the ex-
periments are those dealing with the
action Of drugs upon the mechanical
reponss Of tbs plant It Il not of
