And This, Too, Is Coming.

The "haystack hat" is all the rage
in London. A millinery expert tells
how it is achieved. "In the first
place." he says, "the hair must be
dressed as high as possible. A thick
pad must be pinned on the crown of
the head. and over this the hair must
be rolled. u must then be arranged
in quantities IF small curls, rising in
a pyramid form. The hat must be
lightly poised on this erection and
secured by two long hatpins. The
hair must then be loosened in front
and pinned up to the brim of the
hat" 1t must be almost as beauti-
full as the mushroom hats that the
girls, from IS to so, are wearing over
here.

Kitchen Comfort.

In every kitchen there should be a
very high chair and very low chair.
Economy of strength is true wisdom
on the part of worker, and much
standing and constant fatigue-and
sometimes actual illness-may be
avoided by the use of proper chairs.
Plain ironing, mixing Of puddings
and many other tasks may be done as
well when sitting on a high chair or
stool as when standing. The low chair
is useful for sitting in to shell peas or
stem currants, when it is convenient
to have bowl in ones lap, and an
other bowl or basket on the floor be-
side one.

Tribute of Horseshoes.

An odd custom of great antiquity
still prevails in the town of Oakham,
in Rutlandshire. Every peer of the
realm passing near the castle which
was built by Walkelin de Ferres is
expected to deliver a shoe from the
foot of one Of his horses or to pay a
fine in default The fine usually
takes the form of an ornamental
horseshoe, often surmounted by the
coronet of the peer presenting it. The
total number of shoes at present in

these presented by Queen Elizabeth,

Credited to Webster.

Although it was Abraham Lincoln
in his Gettysburg speech who made
famous the phrase, Government of
the people, by the people, for the peo-
ple," the father of the sentiment was
really Daniel Webster, who, 30 years
previously, had spoken of "the peo-
pies government, made for the peo-
pie, made by the people, and answer
able to the people" The next stage
in the crystallization of the phrase
was in 1850, when another great
American, Theodore Parker, alluded
to "a government of all the people,
by all the people, for all the people"
Then in 1868 Lincoln put the finishing
touch and gave democracy its watch
word.-Chicago News.

A Novel Kettle.

With the time-and-trouble saving
spirit of the day an enterprising in
ventor has produced novel hot water
kettle which it is guaranteed canno
boil over under any circumstances.
1t has steam chamber, into which
the water, as it rises when violently
boiling, is made to pass through open
ings and to fall back into the main
body of the kettle. The spout comes
from the steam chamber, but none of
the steam escapes, as it is bafIled and
connected only indirectly.
The steam chamber may be used for
cooking as well as for providing boiled
water that is perfectly pure.

Birth Rate in England Shows Decline

The vital statistics of Great Brit
ain, just made public, show that this
country has reason to dread the evil
against which President Roosevelt
has protested so often-race suicide.
Figures compiled in England and
Wales show that the birth rate in
1906 was the lowest ever recorded. In
all there were 924,391 birth, which is
at the rate of 81 for every 1000 popu-
lation. This is IL to 1000 below the
average for the preceding 10 years.
At the same time the death rate has
grown smaller. The rate for the year
was 1914 to 1000 as compared with
1873 during the preceding 10 years.

Show Their Faith.

There seems to be a general
building boom on in Corvallis,
and the many new structures
that are going up, together with
other improvements, show that
capitalists have faith in the town
and believe in its future-other-
wise they would not be building.
But the things most needed to
make Corvallis continue to boom
and to grow are factories, mills,
canneries and other industries
that will establish .payrolls and
give the labo.ing class some
thing to do after they have come
to Corvallis.
Of these things there is a
dearth, and it is up to local cap
italists to get their heads to-
gether and decide on something
along this line that will pay,
and then set about to establish it
in this city.
The cannery idea has been
advanced time and again and
other towns Ia the Valley have
taken up the proposition and
will have cauneries in operation
this season to take care of the
coming crop. While it is not
advisable for all towns TO hav e
canneries, perhaps, there are
many other enterprises IN which
Corvallis could engage with pro-
fit and general benefit to the
community, and it is high time a
start was made in this line by
some wide-awake citizen with an
eye to business.

"SUCH A FOOLISHNESS. y

In Pittsburg, Pa, next week
there is to be banquet given
in honor OF andrew Carnegie
and his spouse. The banquet is
to follow the dedication of the
Carnegie Institute at that city.
This is all right and proper and
so far we have no criticism to
offer. But it seems that the
deuce is about to be raised in
. social circles" on account of
the shortage of available seats
at the banquet. Here is where
human nature is the weakest =
in toadying for social prefer
ment.
What miserable, ignorant and
depraved wretches are some
times picked up by good people
because in their very souls they
believe they are advancing them
selves in the social world. The
best way any person can advance
themselves in any way Whatso-
ever is to have a care to the kind
of company they keep and be
courageous enough to keep aloof
from the society of those whom
their hearts warn them are un-
worthy. A little notice, dose
of subtle fattery, an overween-
ing desire for notoriety will
cause many people of really good
hearts to do some mighty foolish
things.
In the case of the banquet
given in honor of the Laird of
Skibo Castle and his common
place frau we have an example
of the exaggerated Importance
placed on the mater of invita-
tions to ''be there Those not
invited may as we'll leave town,
for they will never again be
quite ''top-notchers" from a Soc
ial view and mostof them have
not enough good sense to be
thankful that it is so. Such a
foolishness!'
