chinaman Admitted to Bar.

What is believed to be the first time
that a Chinese has been admitted to
practise in a Federal court occurred
Friday, when Seid Back, Jr., was &C
corded that privilege by Judge Calver
ton in the United States District and
Circuit courts. The real name of the
Chinese is Seid Gan, but he is com.
monty known as Back, the name Of
his father, Portland's wealthiest Chin
csc merchant.
Young Back is 20 years old and was
born in Portland. He has always been
a leader among the young educated
Chinese of the city and recently com
pleted a course at the Oregon Law
school, afterward being admitted TO
the bar.-Portland Correspondence

No Place TO Idle.

A farmer need never be out of
Job. DR.. Franklin once said: Are
you your own master? then be
ashamed to catch yourself idle"
There are always odds and ends"
that are liable to get behind in the
rush OF the business season, that may
be looked after when favorable OPP
portunities occur. An hours time
can be very proftably expended once
4 week in picking up and putting to
rights around the laws and farm
buildings. There is nothing that will
call attention quicker or advertise a
farm better than when in passing to
see every thing in shape and place,
and neat and tidy around the home.
II takes eternal vigilance to keep it
30, but the satisfaction one takes in
seeing it we'll repays him for all labor
expended.

TRANSFORMATIONS
Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing is Abandoned.

1t IL almost az hard for an old
coffee topper to quit the use of coffee
as It Is for q whiskey or tobacco fiend
TO break OF. except that the coffee
user can quit coffee and take up
Postum without any feeling Of loss
OF the morning beverage. for when
Postum lie well boiled and served with
cream, It is really better in point Of
favour than most OF the coffee served
nowadays, and to the taste Of the con-
noisseur II IL like the favour Of fine
mild Java.
A great Transformation takes place
in the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left on and
Postum used. for the reason that the
poison to the neryes-caffeine-has
been discontinued and in its place is
taken . liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements Of nourish-
ment.

Handling a Colt.

In handling a colt its instincts and
tendencies should never be lost sight
Of, such as kicking, striking and run
ming away from anything it conceives
to be dangerous. Its faculties Of see
ing. smelling and hearing are very
acute, and are given it for self-pres-
ervation, which is the first law of ma
ture. The experienced trainer will
be patient and not require too much
Of colt at the start, but gradually
bring him in contact with all imagin-
airy dangers until 1t learns from ex-
perience that they are harmless. No
thoughtful or intelligent person will
ever abuse a colt for being afraid of
anything, for 1t simply intensifies its
fear and makes matters worse.-The
Epitomist.

Gasoline Power For Country Home.

Comparatively few country homes

Grated by hand, and water will be at

persons prefer that to the concealed
system. Large tanks or reservoirs
Will not be needed, for a few min

hours. The fresher 1t is the better.
The services of a plumber will be
necessary, of course, in installing
such a system, but, this once done,
and done well, there ought to be very
title expense connected with it there
after. Pipes leading to rooms in
which there is not sufficient heat in
