SHORT SHRIFT FOR BORES
Japanese Engineers Clever Device for
Getting Rid of Garrulous Speak
ers in Parliament.

A Japanese engineer named Yamas.
kawa has conceived a method of silen-
cling parliamentary bores, and from
his invention he is entitled to be con.
sidered a benefactor of the human
race.
Attached to each seat in the house
of parliament he proposes to have a
metal tube, the top being about the
size of franc piece or shilling. Each
member of the house is to receive a
leaden ball or bullet on entering. These
balls can be easily passed into the
tube, which, carried under the floor.
leads to a receptacle Immediately un.
der the place where a member stands
when addressing the assembly.
This spot is like the traps on the
stage of a theater. The trap is so ar.
ranged that when a certain number OF
balls-not less than one-half the num-
ber of members of full n6Gssee-have
reached their receptacle the trap Is
made to descend automatically, carry.
ing with it the garrulous speaker or
bore, as the case may be.
No points of order have to be
raised. The displeasure of the house
is manifest in silence. Away goes the
bore and another speaker is called up
on-London Globe.

Black Waist.

The black chiffon blouse over white
or over a silk in Persian colors Is
even more popular now than at the
end of last season, when it was hailed
as novelty. The yelled effect Is
more pleasing and satisfactory in a
waist than a skirt, since it gives a
color effect which cannot be obtained
by pipings or bands. There is a
beautiful messaline, woven in the
designs and colorings Of the famous
India shawls, which is used extern
sively in combination with black for
waists. The plain black silk waists
are worn a great deal. The smartest
of them have a narrow round yoke of
white lace, which gives them a dressy
appearance, relieving the somberness
of the black.

StencilInq Hints.

When stenciling a design for a
wallpaper frieze, draw the diapered
pattern on heavy paper so as to al
low the skeleton design to hold firm
ly together after the sprays have
been cut out from stencil plates. Cut
out each piece Of the drawing with
a sharp knife, and lay 1t on a rough
piece of the cardboard so that the
edge of the knife is not turned.
Prepare each piece to resist the
action of the color by sizing or by
shellac dissolved in methylated
spirits.
Mix the color with one-third pic
ture copal varnish and two-thirds
turpentine, using only small por-
ton at a time, as it is very volatile.
Then dab the color all over the sur
face Of the design with a stencil
brush. You will then be ready to ap-
ply It to the walls.

MINOR Your Business.

It is surprising how many men
there are who do not desire their sons
or anyone else to adopt their calling
But is it wise thus practically to speak
Ill of your business?
1t is a good sign when a man is
proud of his work or calling. Men are
frequently heard finding fault with
their particular business. deem1ng
themselves unfortunate because fast
ened to it by the. necessity of gaining
a livelihood. They thus destroy all
their efforts in the work and keep
shifting from one thing to another un
til they are finally failures in life.
A man should put his heart into
everything he does. There is no pro
fession that has not its peculiar cares
and vexations. No man can escape
annoyance By changing his business.
There is not any mechanical business
altogether agreeable. Commerce is
affected, like all other pursuits, with
trials and unwelcorle duties.

Packinn a Gun.

Now that another citizen has packed
a gun" to the detriment of this nation,
Is 1t not time that, as nation, we set
our faces against this custom of gun
packing" and make the carrying OF
concealed weapons the actual crime
that it Is instead of the unconventional
liberty that we make 1t? There are
thousands of American men of un-
doubted courage who have never
packed a gun" on any occasion; thou
sands of deaths have been caused by
the accidental discharge Of cheap re-
volyers while in the possession of peo-
ole who didn't know how to handle
them; and we know of no authentic
case where the average gun "toter,
taken unawares, has been able to take
the least advantage Of his firearm.-

Il mean, my lord, that I've found a
dead man in the woods. He's a
stranger to me-I've never seen his
face before. You know, my lord, as
how you told me to set the men at
work on the plantation; well, I
thought as how I'd go down myself
this morning, and see what wanted

my lord, I falls over the body of a

asleep, my lord, but he weren't; he
were dead, stabbed to the cart, and

MANY WOULD FISH.
Enthusiasm of Local Anglers Grows
as Waters in Streams Gets Lower

AS the waters in the Umatilla river
and its tributary streams fall, the en-
thusiasm on the part of local anglers
rises. Each day finds a number of
would-be disciples of Izaak Walton
whipping the river within the city lin
its as we'll as above and below the
city. Scores have gone out each Sun
day for the past few weeks and a good
day tomorrow would be the signal for
a general exodus in all directions.
The number of licenses issued up
to date is 674, number far in excess
of that issued up to this time last year,
though the final number for the sea-
son of 1909 was above a thousand.
From present indications this number
will be passed early in the game.
Those who have been out recently
report fair success and say the fish
ing is daily growing better. The sport
is not confined to the male persuasion
alone for women and children are
proving enthusiastic devotees
To excite still more enthusiasm,

the pan and rushed straight through
the flames for the door and then pro-
ceeded to extinguish the fire which
had started How her clothing es-
capped catching fire Is mystery but
when it was all over she found that
slight damage had been done to the
