Washinaton as 4 humorist.

While president Washington's humOr
seemed to find expression in the dplo-
macy of self protection. A French
revolutionist came to him for a general
testimonial, which Washington did not
care to grant, yet he did not wish to
give offense to the French by a curt
refusal, so he wrote an evasive card
worthy Of Lincoln-"C. Volney needs
no recommendation from G. Washing

After CORVALLIS surrender at York

discussing the part played by gambling
in magic. observes: The use of cards
is said to be derived from the Turot
cards, which were originally employed
for occult purposes. The legend which
ascribes the invention Of cards to the
purpose of amusing mad king does
not seem at all a sufficient explana
ton, and there is in addition the fact
that cards of kind existed before the
said king. In further support Of this
idea the we'll knowD practice of telling
fortunes by cards may probably be re-
garded as survival Of regular form
of divination by such means. 1t seems.

jefferson as an Inventor.

Not many people know that Thomas
Jefferson was great inventor. His in.
ventions were all Of articles of every
day use. He devised three legged
folding camp stool that is the basis Of
all camp stools Of that kind today.
The stool he had made for his own
use was his constant companion on oc
casions of outings. The revolving chair
was his invention. He designed light
wagon. A copying press was devised
by him and came into general use.
He also invented an instrument for
measuring the distance he walked. A
plow and a hemp cultivator showed
that his thoughts were often on agri-
cultural matters. His plow received
gold medal in France in 1870. Jeffer-
son never benefited financially by his
inventions. but believed they should
be for the use Of everyone without

Meteors and the Atmospher..

One of the most useful results aris-.
ing from the study Of sporadic meteors
is the light thrown upon the question
Of the height of the atmosphere, since
it is the friction Of the air that sets
them on fire. and if their elevation is
known at the moment Of their first ap-
pearance the probable height of the at
mosphere can be calculated On Aug.
II. 1909. brilliant meteor happened
to impress it's picture simultaneously
on three Photographic plates. at Tash
kend. Islander and Tschimgan. in
Russian Turkestan. The distances be
tween these places furnished base lines
from which the height could be de-,
duced. The calculation shows that the
meteor first appeared at height Of
69.45 miles above the earth and disap-
peared at fifty miles.

GOODBYE TO DRINKING CUP.

Public sentiment is a strange and
elusive force. It sometimes fails to
respond, in spite of every effort to
arouse it's interest in a worthy case.
Again, it suddenly asserts itself,
without any known reason. One of
the strangest of recent manifesta-
tions of this force of public sentiment
is the present crusade against the
common drinking-cup. For years,
physicians and sanitarians have
urged the danger and the filthiness
of common drinking utensils. With
few exceptions, their words seemed
to fall on deaf ears. The public, ap-
parently, was not interested. But
suddenly, without any manifest rea-
son, the point of saturation seemed
to be reached. Capitalization of pub
lie opinion began. States began to
enact laws, and cities to pass ordi-
nances abolishing the common drink
ing cup in all public Places. State
after state took it up. There was
no concerted movement; there was
scarcely any organization behind it;
there was little snecial effort needed
The people had evidently made up
cups were bad and must go. So they
have abolished them in at. least
twenty-four states in little more
than one years time. These states

door locked. he demands admittance

maiden. If his answer is deemed sat

and ugly. Then be is presented to
some large dolls. all of whom he re.
jects with scorD amid general merri.

is sometimes sorely tried. is then in
formed that his ladylove is absent
and Is invited to come in and see for
himself. He enters and searches from
room to room until he finds her in her
bridal dress ready to go to church
Then all his anxiety is at an end, and
the nuptials are duly celebrated.
The Man Guessed Right.
In church at Amsterdam there is
very ancient funeral monument Of
white marble on which are engraved a

with this inscription. "Effen Nyt,"

of this singularity Is this: man
who was very rich, but who was bon

was to live certain number of years

Of this idea he calculated that If he
spent so much year bis estate and
his life would expire together, 1t hap

sented to himself in fancy and had
then brought his fortune to such
predicament that after the paying Of
his debts he had nothing left but a
pair Of slippers. His relations buried
him in a creditable manner and had
the slippers carved on his tomb with

"No, How can he? He has no money

breweries won't furnish him any, nor
any other corporation, and they will
all be against him. What chance does
he have?' Isn't that sad state of

remove the rocks. If she is proving

but every successful method recog-
nizes the Importance of an even, free
circulation of air.
The best methods arrange the corn
in such a manner that the air freely
reaches the outside portion of every
ear. Freshly gathered or uncured corn
should never be piled on the floor,
nor deeply corded upon the drying
rack. Under such conditions it is liza
BILE to heat and quite likely to mold,
either of which will injure it's vitality.
Suspending the ears by means of
binding twine, placing the ears in
racks made of chicken netting, or u.s.
ing any form of the seed corn tree are
ideal ways of arranging corn so it
will dry thoroughly. Hanging the corn
on the southern side of a building,
where it will be exposed to intense
sunshine, is not a good practice. Be-
meath the roof of an open shed, or
under the roof of the driveway, be-
tween two corn cribs, are excellent
places to carry on the curing of seed
corn. The time honored place above
the kitchen is excellent
