To Freshen Leather.

1t is often difficult to know what to
do when leather-covered chairs begin
to look shabby and worn and one does
not want to go to the expense OF hav-
ing them recovered.
Try rubbing the leather with the
following polish: Equal parts of boiled
linseed oil and vinegar. The linseed
oil can be bought all ready for use at
any oil shop. Shake the bottle we'll.

Unmapped Portions Of the Earth.

The international conference at the
British foreign Office to dis.
cuss the desirability of Joint
action in map making is a
reminder that only about one-quarter
of the land area In our globe is &C.
curately surveyed. and that outside
Europe the United States and our
overseas possessions there are prac.
tically no maps existing based on ex.
act trigononetrical surveys. Should
the conference agree to commence an
international map of the world. the
scale chosen will in all probability be
slightly less than sixteen miles to
the inch. A good part OF Africa, China
and south America has already been
mapped on this scale and any smaller
scale would be Of little use. The In
dian survey. indeed. has mapped the
whole OF India. with the exception OF
lortior of the Eaiputana desert, on
the generous scale of one mile to the
inch. and with an exactitude compare.

Weight Of One-DoIlar Bills.
Most persons would be surprised
to learn that one-dollars bills are
worth almost their weight in gold,
says Harper's Weekly. A $2e gold
piece weighs $40 grains. Twenty
seven crisp, new one-dollar bills,
fresh from the bureau Of engraving
and printing, weigh the same as the
gold piece. Bills that have been in
use have been tested. and It has been
found that it took but 26 Of them to
balance the gold piece. It follows, Of
course. that the used bills gather an
accumulation Of various matter, in
passing from hand TO hand, that
causes them to take on additional
weight equal to about that Of one

REDHOT
CHATAUQUA
DEBATE

Dry Sunday at Gladstone Park got
surprise when, by failure of Geo.
w. Ban, great national prohibition
orator, not being present, the joint
debate on the constitutional amend
ment for statewide prohibition was
put on, and Rev. Wilson of the M. E.
church. and president Of the Port
land Ministerial Association, and Col.
=. Hofer, of Salem, occupied two
hours of the time of the 5000 pres
ent to hear them. Seats and stand
ing room were taken, and the presi-
dent of the state w. c. T. U. presid-
ed and held the watch on the gladia-
tors for four rounds of 80 minutes
each. Rev. Wilson made his usual
charges that 80 per cent of all the
vice and crime originated in the sa-
looms. Col. Hofer said that was i'm
possible as there were no more sa-
loon keepers in the penitentiary in
proportion to their numbers than of
any other class, and that he had
known the saloon men of Salem for
over 90 years, and had never known
one Of their sons or daughters to go
wrong. Their sons did we'll in busi-
ness and their daughters married
well, and If the saloons produced 90
per cent of the vice and crime it
ought to show on the men in the
business and demoralize their fam
flies. He argued that this business
should be conducted openly and
above board in the broad light Of day,
In well regulated saloons, as they
were conducted in Salem, instead Of
driving the traffic into the barns and
outhouses, where It was in the hands
of irresponsible men and bootleggers
and blind piggers, as was the case in
the cities in the dry counties. The
issue was whether there should be
Local Option and High License for
cities, where there was not public
sentiment enough to enforce prohibit
tion, or whether dry sentiment
should extend lawlessness and dis
order over cities like Portland and Sa-
lem, and other cities and counties
that were not ready to enforce pro-
hibitlon. On that issue $4,000 con-
business men had signed =
protest against this amendment TO
the constitution, and they were the
same conservative business men who
had made loJll option possible.

CAntedates the present emblem Of
ancient empires of China and
JapanI
The Star Spangled Banner has
history unlike that of the emblem Of
any other people. 1t is older than
the present flag of Great Britain,
which dates from 1901; older than
the German empire standard-1S70
older than that of Frances standard
--1794; or that of Spain-17S5;
older, in fact, than any Of the pres
ent flags of the ancient empires of
China and Japan, says the New Idea
Woman's Magazine
The first legislative action of
which there is any record concerning
the design and adoption of a nation
al flag was taken in a resolution Of
Congress at Philadelphia on June IA,
1875; but it was not until October or
November Of that year that a com
mission of three. appointed for that
purpose, met in the old city of
Cambridge and entered upon their
duties. Benjamin Franklin was one
of this number. After considerable
deliberation they adopted a design
consisting of the Kings colors-the
crosses of st. George and St. Andrews
with 13 parallel horizontal stripes,
alternate red and white.
This flag was unfurled for the first
time over the Continental camp at
Cambridge on January 1776. When
the ensign was first displayed at
Cambridge, the British regulars as
sumed that it was intended as an in
dication of submission by the l3
states to the King, whose speech had
just been sent to the Americans. The
comment of the British Register of
1875 on the new standard is inter-
esting. "The rebels burned the
Kings speech and changed the flag
from a plain banner to one bearing
13 stripes, as a symbol of the num-
Der and union of the colonies"
