Correct Way to Foil UMBRELLA.

A badly rolled up umbrella, besides
looking Un5ightly, does not wear half
as long as it ought to. The process of
rolling an umbrella IS very simply.
The majority hold 1t by the handle and
keep twisting the st!cE with one hand,
while with the other they twist and
roll the silk. Instead Of this they
should take hold Of the umbrella just
above the ribs of the cover. These
points naturally lie evenly with the
stick. they should be kept hold of
and pressed tightly against the stock
and then the cover should be rolled up.
Holding the ribs thus prevents them
from getting twisted out Of place or
bending out Of shape, and the silk is
bound to follow evenly and roll smooth
and tight. If an umbrella is rolled in
this fashion II Will look as If newly
bought fer a long timc,-Boston Her

Never in America, perhaps, has
there been SO big, buoyant and domi-
nant personality at tho head of city
government as Tom johnson. He
earned the title, "Ihe best Mayor Of
the best governed city in America, "
and the title yet remains unohallenged.
That is glory enough And he made
enemies--legions of them. The OK
ploiters of the people still hate him,
and we'll meaning folk who shrink
from innovation and look backward
instead of forward still scowl at the
mention of his sname. But he also
made legions of friends, and these
friends are sad now at the passing of
SO big and brave a man.

Otto Case, of Seattle, believes that
it would be we'll for Northwest states
having logged off lands to follow
Minnesota's example in extending state
aid to settlers in clearing them for
cultivation Wherever the stumps are
removed, these lands are always rich
ly productive. but it costs lot to
clear them. Under the Minnesota
plan, the state raises the necessary
money by means of bonds, and settlers
repay the clearing cost in fifteen an
nual installments. Col. Case suggests
that the arid regionssmight be helped
in the same way with state aid for
small irrigation projects. He expects
to take up this matter with the Wash
ington legislature in 1913.

Astoria centennial dates are August
10 to Septemb ber to celebrate the hrst
settlement of the Northwest by the
white man. April IL, 1911, the Ion
quin, trading ship owned by John
Jacob Astor, sailed into the mouth
of the Columbia river and proceeded
up ten miles to Il cove, where the crew
landed and established a camp to fac
iIitate trading with the Indians. This
camp became known as Astoria. 1t
grew from trading expedition, sent
out from New York by John jacob
Astor. 1t is to celebrate this event
that the Astoria Centennial was pro-
iected. The state of Oregon has ap-
propriated $5O,00e to aid in the ex-
pense of the celebration. Clatsop
county made tax levy which raised
$4,000 The merchants of Astoria
raised $4,000 more. Colonel John
Jacob Astor of New York City donat-

BEAUTIFUL LEAVES.
And the Tiny Coils That Give Them
Their Brilliant Hues.

And the Tiny Coils That Give Them
Their Brilliant Hues.
A leaf is one Of the most beautiful
things in nature, and it is very Won
derfuI to think that it owes its lovely
color to minute little living bodies or
cells of chlorophyll. This word comes
from two Greek ones, chloros, green.
and phullon, leaf, and is used to
describe the ordinary coloring matter
of vegetation.
The chlorophyll cells or granules
absorb the light and heat of the suns
rays and in some marvellous way,
which only scientists can understand,
manufacture the sugar which is neces'
sary for the life of the tree itself by
combining the carbonic acid gas OF the
atmosphere with the water drawn Ill
by its roots. These tiny cells are SO
very small that as many as 4OO,OOO
have been counted in square MILL
meter of the leaf of castor oil plant,
and in order that they may come IN
contact with as much sunlight ms pos
sible the leaf turns slightly on its stalk
toward the sun.
If YOU notice the arrangement of the
leaves ON bough you will see that
nature has placed them so that they
form an almost perfect light screen
and catch all the sunshine that there
is. If 1t were not for the constant
work of these little chlorophyll cells
| the splendid trees in our forests would
wither and die and there would be no

Legend Of the Founding OF Persian
College at Mesned.

Legend Of the Founding OF a Persian
College at Mesnsd.
The following story from the Per-
sian manuscript of which Il transla-
ton has been published under the title
"The Glory of the Shia World" reads
like passage in the Arabian
Nights" 1t tells OF a Persian at
Meshed who had founded a college
with wealth gained in n remarkable
manner:
"One day rich merchant asked him
whether he was willing to work at a
place to which he would be conducted
blindfolded. Being a fearless kerma
nj and very poor, he agreed. and was
yard, where the bandGge was remov-
cd, and he was ordered to dig hole
and bury gold coins and jeweiry. This
he did for several days, and. being
searched before he left, he saw no
chance of bcttering his condition.
"H0Wever, one day he saw IL cat,
which ho Killed and ripped open. He
then sawod up somc money and jew
els inside it and threw it over the
wall After this, when his work was
done, he wandered about until he
| found the cat and not only secured the
money hidden in its body, but also
learned the position Of the house.
Its owner shortly afterward died,
and the astute Kcrmani bought his
house with the gold sewed up Inside the
cat. Us the merchant had never re-
vealed his secret to any one he became
his heir and, in turn, when dying, be-
queathed his money for the pious task
of founding and maintaining a col
lege."

years, the increase being probably in
ratio to the increased population and
the increased number of acres of land
made tillable. The large ranches in
the past ten years have increased in
greater proportion than smaller ones.
Ranches consisting of 1000 acres and
more have increased from 1887 in 1900
to I713 in 1910.
