MADE ICE BOX Of
bUR[AP

Walla Walla, Wash, May Sc
L. Wells, United States immigration
agent, has built a refrigerator at
his ranch in Burbank which solves
the problem of keeping food fresh
without ice in an arid country.
The food preserver is a wooden
frame cupboard with the slides and
top covered with small pieces of
wood, so nailed on that there is a
dropstitch effect much like a wall
before the plaster is applied to the
lathes. Around this covering, door
and all, was bound half dozen
layers of burlap. This was careful
ly tackled on at the corners and
around the door, and then the door
was cut free. When the door is
shut the refrigerator looks like a
generally rectangular box, heavily
swathed in burlap bandages.
On top of the refrigerator there
rests on open water-tight box filled
with water. Dipping into the water
are sheets of burlap. and these hang
over the box edge and down on to
the sides of the refrigerator proper.
The water rises through the burlap
which drips into the box, as oil does
in wick of lamp, and 1t then
trickles out over the burlap side
wrappings. In the dry air Of the
Columbia river region the evapora-
ton is so great that the inside of
the refrigerator is kept constantly
cool. The principal is the same as
that involved in the South African
water bags, and in its workings is
just as effective.
It is almost impossible to keep ice
in many places in the sage brush,
but Mr.. Wells says this homemade
refrigerator has made ice entirely
unnecessary.

The Only ORIGINAL.

George Washington was very small,
very black and very new to the life
of the public school which he had just
entered. His family had emigrated to
the city from some unknown wilder
ness, and the officers of the school
board had discovered little George and
brought him into line with the pros
poets of the higher education. 1t was
his first day. and the teacher was try
ing to make him at home.
And so your name is George Wash
ington?" asked the teacher.
"Yassum-Jorge Washin' ton"
''And I suppose you try TO be as like
him as little boy can. don't you?"

NORTHERN BAPTIST
CONVENTION

Chicago, May 5.-The intellect
and the power of the Baptist church
in the North are concentrated in
Chicago today. On every train dis
tinguishej clergymen and influen-
tial laymen from many states have
been pouring into the city, until
even the hotel corridors for once in
their history might be mistaken for
the vestibules of churches, so nu,
merous thereabout are men of cleri-
cal mein.
The occasion of this great gather
ing of the leaders of the Baptist de-
nomination is the Northern Baptist
convention, which is to assemble to-
morrow for a weeks session. The
convention will hold its meetings in
the Bartlett gymnasium at the Uni
versity Of Chicago and the presiding
officer will be DR.. Harry Pratt Jud-
son, president of the university. Be-
tween 5000 and 1000 delegates and
as many more visitors are expected
to attend.
No fixed program has been ar
ranged for the convention, but all
the church work, which includes the
three great organizations of the Bap-
fist church, the American Baptist
Foreign Missionary society, the Am
erican Baptist Home Missionary So
ciety, and the American Baptist Pub
LEGATION society, will be reviewed.
These three large societies organized
for worldwide mission work, and
for publication interests, handle
large sums of money annually and
control operations of wide proper
tions.
For many years these several So
c;eties held their own annual ses-
sions, making their own reports to
themselves. Four years ago it was
decided to organize one great con-
vention of the Northern Baptists, to
include the thousands of churches
throughout the country. The initial
meeting was held in Washington, D.
c., and Governor Hughes of New
York was honored with the presi-
dency. Since then annual meetings
of the convention have been held
in Oklahoma City and Portland, Ore.

Champ Clark's Congressional
Program.

The election of Champ Clark as
the Speaker of the next House of
Congress being assured, Mr.. Clark
made a public statement on the
18th in which he outlined his pro-
gram. He is reported to favor ap-
pointment of House committees by
a committee rather than by the
Speaker; and he states his belief
that the tariff should be revised
schedule by schedule rather than
in a single bill. These two sub
jects are the ones upon which Mr..
Clark says he has been continual
ly importuned to make some state
ment. The Democratic members
Of the House have sent out a call
for a caucus on January 10 of the
Democratic membership of the
next House. The caucus will select
a Ways and Means Committee and
a Rules Committee, somewhat
larger than the present Committee
Of seven, and Mr.. Clark believes
n of these should then be en-
powered to select the other COM
mittees of the House.
On the revision of the tariff Mr..
Clark's statement is quoted as fol-
lows:
"There are two theories of tariff
revision, revision by one general
bill and revision by separate bills
for separate schedules. This is a
matter not of principle but of
method. Individually l prefer the
scheme of separate bills for sepa-
rate schedules, taking the sched-
ules with the most obnoxious feat
ures first, perhaps in certain cases
having separate bills for particular
items.'-The Public.

PARROTS GUIDED COLUMBUS
Talkative Birds Entitled to c~onsIdera.
tlon in Selection of Our Ma
tionaI Emblem.

Before the eagle was selected as our
national emblem, Benjamin Franklin
urged the claims of the turkey. It was
purely American, he said, while the
eagle was not; it was a proud and
generous bird, and it was good eating.
II Franklin had known more about our
early history, he might have spoken
for the parrot.
When Columbus sailed westward
over the unknown Atlantic he expect
ed to reach Zipangu, japan. After
several days sail from Gomera, one of
the Canary islands, he became uneasy
at not discovering Zipangu, which, &C.
cording to his reckoning, should have
been two hundred and sixteen nautical
miles more to the east. After a long
discussion, he yielded to the opinion
OF Alonzo Pinzon, the commander of
the Pinta, and steered to the south
west. Pin0on was influenced in his
opinion solely by a fight of parrots,
which took wing in that direction. 1t
was good luck to follow in the wake Of
a flock of birds when engaged upon q
voyage Of discovery-a widespread
superstition among Spanish seamen
of that day, and the great navigator
was thus guided to the new world.

KNOWS FAMILY AS IT is

Miss Lena, which was the fourth from

It means not fixed up to receive COM

your mother about something. But, Of
course, you'd know what dishabil'
meant without my tellin' you.
Not ever a policeman, though, sees
the dishabilled people the way we
servants do. He comes when there's
trouble an everything is excitement,
an he can't tell whether they skimp
on family dinners so as to have a ca
terer for company ones, or whether
their u~nderclothes are the cheapest
things from the bargain counters SO
as they can spend more money on the
outside ones. 1t takes a servant girl
to be really intimate with all the little
ways of a family. an sometimes it's
SO ~interestin', ma'am, that you're half
inclined to think you'll stay a servant
