The passing of that exceedingly
useful household article-the broom
is noted in the decline Of its use
through the various kinds of sweep
ers and the pneumatic machine which
actually swallows the dust from the
wall and ceiling, well as the floor.
Some form of broom was probably
used in the Garden of Eden to brush
down the spider webs if not the dust
settling from the seashore, made
probably from hemlock boughs, be-
fore the advent of broom-corn. Its
Gays are now numbered, however,
but it has found too great favor to
be thrown out all at once, especially
in the rural districts.

INHUMAN WARFARE. - 1t is said
that Roy Wilcox. an American av-
iator. of Albion. Mich, has con-
tract with provisional government
Of China, to furnish aeroplanes to
drop explosives into cities held by
imperialists. 1t is to be regretted
that this inhuman adjunct is to be
added to warfare. It should be class
flied as inhuman and SO much in con-
flict with civilized means OF warfare
as to be barred by international de-
cree. It is safe to say that more
innocent people-women and chill.
dren. and those incapacitated by age
or disease will be sacrificed by such
q device than could possibly be de-
stroyed by any other means.

LAUNDRY AS A SCIENCE. Ore
gon Agricultural College At Corvallis
has included in its service of study
for girls Scientific Laundering"
and it is really astounding how much
of a scientific nature may be en-
bodied in that occupation. 1t not
only teaches higher ideals of cleanli-
ness and hygiene, but the selection
OF textiles and their preservation by
correct treatment aud q thorough
study Of their composition and prop
critics. The course aims to teach
correct method for the simplest du-
ties Of ery-day life. such as the
covering Of ironing boards and sprink-
ling of clothes. Many people do not
realize that table linen has o much
better finish il ironed on both sides
after being wrung from warm water
and wrapped in cloth short time;
also that q tablecloth properly folded
should have all the creases turn
upward and lengthwise only, that
wooden materials shrink when ex-
posed to extremes in temperature,
when handled harshly or treated with
strong soaps and washing powders.
and that their softness is restored
with small amount of glycerine.
The cleansing OF dirty garments and
lace are effected easily also if . little
skill and few precautions are exer-
cised. A knowledge Of these pro-
cesses will lead also to o saving in the
care delicate articles may receive
in wearing. and the realization of the
wisdom in cleaning them, before they
are too soiled to avoid several treat
ments.

POSE OF TROUT AND KESTREL
Both the Fish and Bird Present AL turing Sight to the Lover of
 Beauties of Nature.

As the kestrel is to the clouds so Is the trout to the crystal waters. Both kestrels and trout display that mag ical poising. as if suspended by in visible threads-only now and then, when cross currents are encountered, is a sign given to show that life itself is not in suspense.
 A brief agitation of the kestrefs wings, swishing of the trout's tail- the cross current is weathered, and bird or fish poises motionless again. And as when walking along we are pulled up in ever fresh wonder by the sight of the lowering kestrel, so we must needs pause on bridge when there is a trout in the stream below
 He looks his best poising with head to the stream-a shapely form against the background of smooth brown peb- bles and waving emerald weeds. Lean over the bridge with eyes on the trout a vision is conjured-an alluring fly drops on the water, then slack line tightens, there is a song from the reel, rod bends, there follows dag. zling dance of vermilion spots against the green of the bank.
 Or as we come to the bridge on a winters day we think we hear a mighty splashing of water over the pebbles-which turns out to be the play of 30 or 40 trout-the play of the last round of some water tourney. As they come to the surface, rolling and wallowing-their great fat sides look twice as big as when seen through the clear water-they almost make a dam across the stream as they jostle each other seeking for the choicest places on the spawning bed.

 Soon after this the salesman arrived in own about midnight, and remem bering his friends invitation, sought out his boarding house. There was only dim light flickering in the hall Presently he found himself face to face with a landlady of grim and ter ible aspect.

DIRECT ELECTION or SENATOR'S.

It will only be a question of time when the people of the country will demand the election of United States senatore by popular vote. It is long and tedious process to change the constitution, and it was the evident purpose of the fathers of our government to prevent changes in the laws which were believed to be just and proper in that distant day.
 These laws were for the genera tion in which they were passed, but not for today.
 It is doubtful whether any of present days statesmen could draft another constitution or one which would serve as well, through generations. as the present one, It is likewise doubtful if any of our law makers would even try it. At the same time there are changes which should be made in the con- stitution and this is one of them.
 The special committee named by congress to consider the advisa- bility of changing the constitution in this respect has reported in favor of the proposed change. With the addition of New Mexico and Arizona nearly the required number of states will act in favor of electing senators by the popular vote instead of by the legislative vote.
 But even after the necessary three-fourths vote has been sub- mitted by the states the question will have to be voted on three times by the people, in tkrse presi- dental elections, so it will be twelve years before the change can be

Try to Entice Our Soldiers.

Galveston, Tex, March 23.-The
military and civil authorities here are
investigating the story of a soldier at
tached to the camp at Fort Crockett
that an agent of the Mexican revolu.
tionary junta approached him In Gal.
weston with, a proposition to desert
and join the revolution.
When the matter was reported to
brigade headquarters General Mills
Immediately reported to the chief OF
police. According to the soldiers
story, a man whom he took to be a
Mexican stopped him on the streets
and proposed that he join the revolu
ton, promising him $75 and transpor
tation to the seat of war. The latter
was to be provided, it was said. on {
vessel anchored in Galveston harbor
The soldier refused.
The chief Of police put his force a
work tracing the supposed agent o
the revolution but has obtained NJ
clew to his identity. There is no shil
in port to which suspicion might b.
attached.
Army officers are questioning thei
men to ascertain whether any Of then
have been approached with a simila
proposition. The fact that there hav
been no assertions proves that non
have accepted it, at any rate.
