WHY THE HILL WAS HARDER.

Thomas Moffat, the new consul to
Trinidad, distinguished himself,
while consul to La Guaira, by refus-
ing to sign a local document declar-
ing the sanitary condition of La
Guira to be perfect" The town at
the time was in the grip of the bu-
bonic plague.
THE local authorities were angry
with me-" said Mr.. Moffat recently,
"for opposing their stupid and bane-
full policy, They said it was benefit
cent policy, but | told them that ii
reminded me, in its ignorant harmful
ness, of brakeman l once knew.
"The man was a novice, and on his
first run there was very steep grade
mount. The engineer always had
more or less trouble to get up this
grade, but this time he came near
sticking. He almost lost his head
Eventually, however, he reached the
top.
"At the station that crossed the
top, looking out of his cab. the en-
gineer saw the new brakeman and
said with sigh of relief;
"I tell you my lad, we had a job
to get up there, didn't we?'

brakeman, and if l hadn't put the

BATHS AND THE HEART.

The effects of warm and cold baths
upon the size of the heart have been
discussed q great deal by physicians,
and lately the method of measuring
the dimensions Of the heart proposed
by Moritz has enabled observers to
determine changes in this respect
quite accurately.
Rudolph and Beck have studied by
this method the changes produced in
healthy and diseased persons by the
administration of cold and hot baths
and their findings are reported in the
Medical Record. Ali patients sub
jected to these experiments had the
size of their hearts measured imme-
diately before the baths, and the ope-
ration was repeated as soon after the
bath as circumstances permitted. the
time between the end of the bath and
the estimation of changes in the heart
not exceeding two or three minutes
The results obtained were quite
uniform. The effect of the hot bath
was to diminish the size of the heart,
no cange being noticed in one case

SCHOOLS AND DISEASE.

By the nature Of things public
schools disseminate disease. In the
schools the children are thrown to-
gether in such manner that in spite
Of all precautions contagious diseases
will spread when foothold is once
gained.
More than 100000 children of school
age are annually laid PROSTATE by the

USE THE LIBRARY.

Though the public library is grow
ing in popularity there are many To-
cal people who do not take advantage
Of the institution. Some doubtless
overlook the library because the city
was without a real public library so
long that they have lost the library
habit. Others probably remain away
because they do not understand that
the library is for the public accom-
mediation.
AS it is now conducted the Pen
dleton library is a free institution
1t is for the benefit of the people OF
the city. Men, women and children
of all classes are invited to make use
OF the institution. OF course there
are regulations regarding the use OF
books but the rules are very reason
able and aim merely to protect the
library against loss.
Aside from the thousands of books
the library is also supplied with the
leading magazines and the new read
ing room is well lighted and well fur
nished.
The library is for your accommo-
dation. Make use of it.

BURGLAR PROOF GLASS

In reply to a communication from
an American association, Consul WILL
lam Bardel, of Rheims, furnishes the
following information concerning the
manufacture, in that French district,
Of plate glass to be utilized by jewell
ers as safeguard against robbery.
The glass under consideration is at
st. Gobain, in this district, and in re-
ply to a communication from this con-
sulate requesting particulars the man
ager of the works writes as follows:
1t was on account of an extra auda-
cious robbery committed in a jewelry
store at Marseile that a trial was made
to utilize our extra-strong, polished
plate glass as a greater protection
against the smashing of the show win
dows. While an ordinary plate glass
such as Is usually put into jewelers.
show windows, was smashed to atoms
by one single stroke with a metal
trimmed mallet, the same attempt to
our works proved entirely fruitless.
They then proceeded to throw large
piece Of cast iron with extreme vio-
lence at the show window, and all
they succeeded in doing was to make
small hole into 1t measuring only
few centimeters. Thereupon several
shots Of revolver loaded with steel
cast balls were fired at the show win
dow with no further damage to the
window than the entering of the balls
into 1t to the depth of few millimet-
ers. The plate glass which will stand
all such usage is ordinarily made Of a
thickness of 20 to 25 milimeters
(0.7S7 to 0.9S4 inch); butt if desired,
heaveier plate can be made with
out in the least d!mishing the trans
parency Of the glass.-Consular Re-

CEMETERY WORK.

The city is doing some good work
at Olney cemetery. The installation
OF the cemetery water system, the
grading of the streets within the
burial ground and the improvement
OF the road leading to the place has
all been accomplished AS a result the
cemetery is fast assuming a more
presentable appearance than in the
past AS the months and years go by
the tract will become more and more
prepossessing. Trees. grass and flow
ers will take the place of the present
sand and bunchgrass. 1t will not be
long until people will cease to re-
proach Pendleton over the appearance
OF its cemetery.
The next step will be to transfer
the bodies inferred in the old north
side cemetery to Olney. In the new
cemetery the graves OF the old plo-
neers may be properly cared for and
the Jackson street tract may then be
improved 1t would be very fitting
to convert the place into a public
park or plaza dedicated to the plo-
neers and marked by a suitable mon
ument to those who were buried
there.

MORE DAYLIGHT.

A novel proposition has been pre-
sented to President Taft and his cab
met for consideration. It Is a request
from the National Daylight associ-
alton that during the summer months
the clock be turned ahead two hours
so that the working day will begin
earlier and also close earlier. The OBJ
ject is to secure more time for after
noon and evening recreations.
on the face of it this scheme looks
like golf club move. 1t was started
IN Cincinnati where golfing is popu-
lar. Knowing the presidents fond
ness for the game some enterprising
ones have doubtless sought to take
of an opportunity to Sc
cure more time for playing.
But if the Cincinnati sports really
want to get their fill of daylight then
let them come west and work for
a season with Umatilla county
crew. Should they do so
they will find that the day begins at
A very early hour and that the after
moons are sufficiently long for the
average man.

only Tlre diminution in the size of
the heart after hot baths was accom-
panied by an increase in the rapadity
of the pulse and in the supply of
blood to the skin, phenomena which
are of course commonly observed af-
ter hot bathing.
Cold baths, on the other hand, were
followed by increased pallor of the
skin and diminution in the frequency
of the pulse. The limited number Of
cases examined does not allow final
conclusions to be drawn, but the uni
formity Of the results obtained speaks
for the correctness of the findings.

Washington, July 6.--While Repre-

he was universally regarded as far
more than that.
His high ability was recognized by
Speaker Cannon in committee assign
ments, particularly to fill a vacancy on
the Ways and Means Committee when
great tariff bill was pending.
A striking thing about Representa-
tive Cushman was that he never dis
played his gift of humor to the House
for mere amusement, but always with
view OF impressing his view more
forcibly upon that body. His style Of
expression and his homely appearance
had much to do with the effect Of his
remarks.
One of his frst speeches to attract
attention touched on the effects OF the
panic in 1898. In describing the i'm
poverished condition 20 which his con-
stituents were reduced he said they
were forced to live on CLAIMS, washed

ing of the tide"
He probably will be long remem bered
by reason of the effectiveness of his
hurnor in the debates on the Payne tar
in bill in the House. His speech In de-
tense Of retaining the duty on lumber
secured several additional votes for the
duty. His acquiescence to a rule for q
vote on the Payne bill. with reduced
rates on lumber assured its passage.
In describing his feeling to the House
he likened them to q cowpuncher In
Wyoming whose ability to raise 1000
cattle in one summer with one COW as
a starter. caused a rope to be placed
around his neck by q vigilance commit
tee.

Bill rolled his quid into the other cheek
and said: Well. gentlemen. I suppose
I've got more interest In this perform
ance than any other gentleman pres
emit. but I am the least enthusiastic
over the program"
The Washington Congressman held
the title Of being the homeliest man in
the House and looking more like Lin
coin than any other public man OF re-
cent years. In summarizing his career
