ChanQed the Koreans.

Koreans were quick to quarrel in
ancient days and won a bad reputation
on this account At one time, histO-
rian explains, fatal quarrels became so
frequent in the country that drastic
measures were necessary. A law was
promulgated ordering adult males to
wear on all occasions a china head
dress shaped like an inverted flower
pot. 1t was impossible to fight when
crowned with this fragile gear, and
the penalties for removing it were Sc
we're. The first Offense entailed fifty
blows on the soIes of the feet, and the
second meant decapitation. This de-
cree had the most soothing effects,
the nature of the inhabitants changed
as if by magic, and Korea was called
the Land Of the Morning Calm.

Mourners In Red.

There can be no doubt that in the
dark and part Of the middle ages red
and not black was the favorite mourn
ing color throughout Europe. Even
down to the end of the fifteenth cen
tury the change from blood red to
black was not complete, though black
cloaks were worn over red clothing.
In Abyssinia the mourning color is a
reddish brown. In Turkey it is violet,
a color closely allied to red 1t is a
curious fact that among the Maoris of
New Zealand red is the hue Of sorrow.
In earlier times mourners daubed their
bodies with red juices when they fol-
lowed a chief to his grave, and even
the resting places of the bodies were
also cOlOred red

Herbert Spencer and Billiards.

Herbert Spencer was an enthusiastic
billiard player. He says that he found
it "a very desirable way Of passing the
time" because it prevented thinking
and excluded the temptation to read.
'Tt sufices for me-" he frankly adds,
that like billiards, and the attain
ment Of the pleasure given | regard as
a sufficient motive. | have for long
time deliberately set my face against
that asceticism which makes it an Of
fense to do a thing for the pleasure of
doing it. The opposite view is nothing
else than remote sequence of the old
devil worship of the barbarian, who
sought to please his god by inficting
pains on himself and believed his god
would be angry if he made himself
happy"

Farmers Hint to the Preacher.

Speaking of the discouragements
that sometimes come to the lot of a
we'll meaning clergyman, the Rev. DR..
E. T. Jeffers, a professor in the Cole
giate institute in New York, said IN

the Witherspoon building:

FRIDAY, APRIL /, 1910.

Elsewhere will be found the announcement
of J. E. Peterson as a candidate for the Repub-

State Auditor Iverson is out with an inter-
view advocating the extension of the primary
law to state officers. Both parties have declar-
ed for this for some time, but the Legislature
has always failed to pass such law. Views
on the primary differ so widely that it has been
impossible to either extend or restrict the pre-
sent law. The state primary is at best Of doubt
full value We would escape the evils which
now attend state convention, where the pro-
ceedings are in the hands of few men and sell
fish interests have prominent part. The con-
vention should be reformed, and it may yet be
necessary to adopt the state primary to ac-
complish it, But the state primary would pro-
badly also bring train of evils of it's own.
St
Some of the more radical of the anti Can
nonism reformers are much disappointed be-
cause the fruits of the recent victory seem to
be so meagre. Cannon is still speaker and aP-
parentIy he dominates the new rules committee.
Some are therefore demanding that Cannon be
deposed from the speaker. AS matter fact,
Cannon has been dominant figure in Con-
gress too long to be suddenly shorn of his pow
er. If deprived of the speakership and expelled
from the House, the prestige he has gained in
past years and his own knowledge and ability
would make him a strong factor in national
politics for some time to come. No power
which has been century in growing up can be
overthrow in a day. But with the rules COM
1nittee reformed, the tendency will be for the
power Of the speaker 10 become less and the
power Of the House more.

The Civic Club of Philadelphia is one of
the strongest civic organizations in the United
States. Mrs. Oman Wister, chairman of the
Civic Committee is also State Chairman of
Civics. She has sent out the following peril
nent questions
Is your town clean?
Are your front yards attractive and your
back yards orderly?
Are there tomato cans and rubbish on your
streets?
Are you planting trees and vines to insure
beauty and retain the moisture in the soil?
Is your drinking water wholesome, is
there tendency towards typhoid and other
dread diseases, which remain unchecked?
Is your street lighting furnished at a mod
crate cost?
Are your schools modern, and the curri-
culum sensible and the teachers we'll paid?
Are your firemen and policemen appointed
OH their merits?
Do your citizens like to see the best men in
office or do they sometimes incline to the tin-
efficient?
And do your best men sometimes say they
have no time for civic duties?
Do the women of your town arrange
their time that they have leisure to read to-
gether about civic improvements and educa-
tional questions, or are they inclined to give
too much time to triflng occupations?
Are the young girls growing up to value
and participate in the household arts, or are
they inclined to throw everything they think
disagreeabe upon their mothers?
Are you exercising vigilance in keeping
out any unwholesome moral influences which
may lower the tone of the growing manhood
and womanhOod in your midst?
All these questions are civic questions, and
should be asked and answered by everyEwoman
to the woman of leisure than to the wage-earn-
er and woman of many Cares.-The Courant

"CAN'T FEED A CHILD TOO MUCH"

NEW YORK, March 1S-Mothers
today are interested in the advice
on ~ to feed children given by
Dr. Woods Hutchinson in lecture
before the American Academy of
Medicine. Dr.. Hutchinson said,
among other things
IF you let a child follow its own
instructive cravings in the main
you will find that the child's appe-
tite will strangely settle on the
precise things best for it.
1.-The first point to be considered
is how much food is good for a
child. he said. The best answer
to -nat is that you cant give it too
much, unless, of course, you make
it eat at the point of a bayonet.
SWEETS GOOD FOR THEM.
This is plain subject. The best
way to deal with an individual case
is to ask a youngster what things
make good chewing. The youngster
may be little off the track, but
there is an instructive classification
within that child's mind when
causes it to select the real good
foods. You won't find the child
craving for things that are all
water or all hay.
There used. to be an old feeling
that whatever child wanted was
bad for it. 1t liked lots of butter
and lots of sugar that was supposed
to be the worst thing in the world.
If there was nice dessert for
dinner, the grown-ups all got it,
and the yOungster got nice piece
of bread and butter This was good
for the child, but the sweets would
not have hurt at all.
Our bodies are the result of our
food intake, and this intake has its
effect on us mentally. also.
1.-THE three questions are, How
much shall the child have? How
often shall it have it? and what
shall it have? Shall we feed the
child on three-times-a-day sched-
ule, as we would a boiler, or shall
we let the child have it in relays?
Personally, | believe in letting the
young one eat every time it wants
to- The child will only want to eat
when it's system demands it.
'AS to the amount, we should
remember child of five needs
nearly one-half what a grown man
needs; a child of six needs exactly
one-half; and child of ten needs
two-thirds what a man does. More
over. the school child needs just
about as much meat and natural
fat as man.
"The only way to get at the
kinds of food is to consider the
child as boiler and measure the
heat units, or calories, in the vari-
GUS foods. '-
There is one important thing.
that is sweets. Just so much sugar

ORIENTALS WILL JOIN
IN BIG ROSE FES-
TIVAL PARADE

PORTLAND, March 1S.-That
China and Japan will be represent
ed in the rose festival was as
sured this morning when Secre-
tary George Hutchins, of the festi-
val announced that the Chinese are
laying all plans for the big carni-
val and will have one of the
largest productions in the festival.
The Chinese who carried off so
many honors with their different
floats and exhibitions at the Por-
tOla festival in San Francisco will
have the same deliberately decor
ated dragon at the rose show as
they did in the Bay city. The
dragon is to be one of the largest
floats ever made. 1t will require
100 men to carry it and will be one
block long.
The tapestry will be imported
and the various Chinese societies
will select men to work upon the
large production. The cost is esti-
mated at $4,000. Japan will be
represented by floats of all kinds
and their exhibit will not be lack
ing in beauty.

BEGGED CARFARE
WHEN HE HAD $1,000
IN HIS POCKETS

PORTLAND, Ore, March 49,
Begging for IS cents, car fare
from st. Johns to Vancouver, when
he had $1,000 on his person, re-
suited in the arrest of j. w, John
son at St Johns the other day.
Johnson, who is resident of
Vancouver, went to st. Johns
and told hard luck story to some
of the residents that he had fam
lily very sick in Vancouver and
could in no way reach them in time
to aid them, as he did not have the
necessary car fare. The residents
of St Johns suspected the man
and he was placed under arrest.
When searched at the city Jail
in st. Johns he was found to have
over $400 in cash on his person.
besides papers which amounted to
5000. lie pleaded guilty to the
charge of begging. The judge fined
him $40, which he refused to pay,
and he is in the st. Johns Jail
serving a five day sentence.

looking she espied a sign,
Michael Albono, Fresh Fruits and
Bananas" Then did this COW race
into said Albono's fruitery and
seize upon Il bunch of yellow ba-
nanas with her teeth and then and
there did devour one dozen, or Is
cents worth, of the tropical deli
cacy. Mrs. Michael AlbonO spoke
to the COW about it, but the COW
could not understand her Italian,
which, to tell the truth, was some
what Historically enunciated. And
when Mrs. Albono slammed the
COW across the end with broom
or beson, did the cow display irri-
tation and kick over small cast
iron heating stove and poke a
crumpled horn through a showcase
filled with all-day suckers and
marshmallows.
And after that the COW fled
down the street, only half satiated
with bananas.

hot air would do nearly as much
good as the pea soup, and it would

cept for the purpose of introducing
cracker or some bread and but
ter into the system, the soup is
practically worthless. Meat soups
have more value than the purely
vegetable soups, but they are over
rated.
Then there are the many break
fast foods. am asked to say
whether breakfast foods are good
or bad for children. My answer is,
that if you are determined to give
these foods to youngsters, you
should make sure they first have
had breakfast The breakfast foods
won't do as much harm on a full
stomach as they will on an empty
one"
