When Children Smoked,

In the seventeenth century in Eng
land the practice of juvenile smoking
was almost universal, at least accord
ing to Jorevin de ROchefort, a French
traveller Of that period. In an account
published il 1871 he gives a descrip-
ton of an evening he spent in Worces
ter. He was catechized by one Of the
tOWnsmen as to the habits Of the
French people. while we were walk
ing about the town." he writes, she
asked me if it was the custom in
France IS i'll England that when the
children went to school they carried
in their satchel with their books pipe
of tobacco, which their mother took
care to fill early in the morning, it
serving them instead Of breakfast and
that at the accustomed hour every one
laid aside his book to light his pipe,
the master smoking with them and
teaching them how to hold their pipes
and draw in their tobacco, thus accus-
toming them to it from their youths,
believing it absolutely necessary for
mans health

Nine Mile, near Spokane. Nc
Dougall is running a large incuba-
tor, and In testing a batch of eggs
he found a bucketful unfertilized.
He buried these in an adjoining
field to prevent dogs and chickens
from eating them. A few days
later he found that the eggs had
been dug up, the shells scattered
about and the contents devOured.
Suspicious of the work of coyotes,
he put out more rotten eggs and
beneath them he placed four steel
traps, the following night being re-
warded with one coyote. The coy
otes continued biting until he had
trapped eight. When he appeared
before the county auditor he was
forced to explain how he had
caught them.

Signalling in Forest Reserve

Experiments will be made dur
ing the summer with the standard
photographs which are now used in
the war department for signalling
in the national forests. One Of
these experiments will be on the
kaniksu national forest and the
other on the Stanislaus forest in
California.
1t is intendedto discover whether
these instruments will be of use in
the national forests to report fires
or transmit other messages in
areas where there is no quick
method of communication.
The conditions of climate and
latitude, as we'll as the species Of
infammable trees in the two for
ests are sufficiently different to de-
termine whether the instrument is
suited to some localities and not to
others.
Easy and quick communication
to all parts of the forest must be
had if fire is to be kept down. Any
one who knows of the fearful dam
age wrought by forest fires on pri-
vate and unprotected lands each
year will easily see that through
the fire patrol, use of telephone
lines and other means of cOmmun-
cation, such as maintained on the
195,O0O,OOO acres contained in the
national forests, the losses can be
reduced to a minimum.
For the administration and pro-
lection of the 14S national forests
in 10 states and territories and
Alaska, the government spent
$2,526,O9S.O2. or about } cents an
acre for the calendar year 1905. OF
this amount 1892, 1919 was spent
for permanent Improvements. IN
Guiding the construction of 34OO
miles of trails, 100 miles of wagon
roads, 1900 miles of telephone lines
and 40 miles of fire lines.

Bic Circus at Spokane

Ringing Bros Worlds Greatest
Show is to visit Spokane Monday,
Aug. 9, coming this season with
new laurels won at Madison Square
Garden in New York because of
the unprecedented excellence of
their performances. 1t is in all
respects the very best circus that
was ever organized, and the two
performances that will be given in
Spokane will be given exactly as
they were presented in Manhattan,
not the slightest change having
been made since the season opened
there.
There are no less than seven sem
sations on the program, any one of
which is great enough to give a
circus distinction. There are the
wonderful Schumann horses which
waltz on their hind legs, drink from
large glasses and roll each other
around in huge beer barrels: ele-
plants that use the telephone, con-
versing with each other over the
wire from one end of the main
tent to the other; the thrilling dou-
BILE somersaulting automobile act,
performed by young French girl;
Roblidello, the Mexican wire wiz
ard; the wonderful Lorch family Of
acrobats and 100 other great acts
that are new to America.
This will be the only opportunity
for the people of Newport to see
Ringing Bros circus, and prob
ably never again will such an array
of European talent be seen under
one management, as the expense of
giving such a program is almost
beyond belief.
The parade will be given at 10
o'clock in the morning and it is an
entirely new spectacle. Some of its
features are camels, zebras, deer,
elephants and llamas driven in
teams like horses and harnessed to
ornate tableaux. The parade will
be three miles long. The menagerie,
too, is wonderful affair, greatly
enlarged and filled with strange
specimens of the animal world. At
the head of the menagerie is OAR
win, the missing link, which lives
in miniature house with windows,
electric lights, hot water heater,
chairs and tables. Darwin eats
with knife and fork, drinks from
a bottle and shaves himself

Dobbin's journey.

The family horse, who rejoiced in
the eminently proper equine name Of
Dobbin, had earned a rest by long
service and was accordingly sent
away to the country to spend his de-
clining years in the broad pastures Of
a farmer friend of his owner. The
distance being somewhat excessive for
his rheumatic legs, he was shipped to
his new home by rail.
Little Edna, the family four-year-
old, viewed the passing of Dobbin
with unfeigned sorrow. She sat for
long time gazing disconsolately out
of the window At last, after deep
sigh, she turned with more cheerful
expression and said:
did old Dobbin go on the choo-
choo cars mamma?'
Yes, DEAR" answered her mother.
A broad grin spread over the little
girls face. Il was just thinking" she
said, chow funny he must feel sitting

According to the records in the
office of the county auditor there
were 1873 coyotes, 3 wild cats and
IA lynx reported killed thus far
this year. During the last quarter
of 1908 there were 10 lynx and 10Y
coyotes reported. From these fig
ures it would appear that the coy
otes had fallen off about half in
number, or that the settlers had
ceased to hunt them as assiduously
as heretofore, One hundred and
seven coyotes for three months in
1908 and 1873 for over six months
