EGGS FROM CHINA
TO BE EXHIBITED

A case of two and half dozens of
eggs imported from China have been
sent to Prof. James Dryden of the
poultry department at the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College by the Oregon Pine
Export Company for exhibition at the
big egg show to be held in the stock
judging pavilion Februry 9.
These are the first eggs to arrive
here from China in a fresh, perfectly
useabe condition, previous efforts to
import them being utter failures. On
this lot the Danish method of preserv-
ing eggs, secret process which in
wolves compressing wax or something
similar through the pores but not
beyond the shell when the eggs are
new laid The importers have tried
for three years to find a safe way of
bringing in eggs from China, but, ow-
ing to the long trip, in which the ship
hold undergoes various changes of
temperature and is poorly ventilated,
all fresh eggs have spoiled before
reaching this coast. Other ways of
preservation have also failed to give
satisfactory results, as the eggs to be
exhibited at the show are the first
fresh eggs from China in Oregon.

Much ado has recently been made
about the black bear that chased a
man into a chasm near Husum, Wash.
The snow was four feet deep and the
temperature below the free zng point.

Saturday declares that either the
writer of the story or the man chased
had pipe dream or else the latter was
go badly frightened that he mistook
the beast that made him hot-foot 1t
into the chasm for a bear. Mr.. Pra-
ther asserts that the animal could have
been no other than the giant hog that
was reported to have made such depre-
dations in that neighborhood last Fall.
1T certainly wasn't a black bear, ;"
says Mr.. Prather, ''for no one ever
heard of one of these beasts out at this
time of the year. If a bear, it could
only have been a polar bear"

Revenge Of carolus Duran on His Pu.
pill, Sargent.
When John s. Sargent, the famous
portrait painter, studied in the atelier
Of Carolus Duran in Paris his teacher
showed his fondness for him by paint
ing in his head in the great ceiling Of
the Luxembourg palace. Even after
he branched out for himself his mas
ter often sent for him to come over to
his studio and pose, his hands having
especially won the admiration of Caro-
lus Duran.
The time came, however, when Sar-
gent could no longer answer the beck
and call Of his teacher, for he was
getting work of his own to do, which
would not allow him to leave his
studio at a moments notice. One day,
it Is related, Carolus Duran sent hur-
ry call for him, and when he received
a note saying that Sargent was COM
PEELED to decline his request owing to
pressing work he was furious.
A few days later friend, to whom
he had confided his anger at his recall
citrant pupil, asked him: "Well, how
is it with Sargent? Have you made

looked sad and his shoulders went up.

A Notable DAYS Work.

Robert Burns composed his master

the open air. Burns went out Of the
house in the morning and, not return
ing, his wife joined him in the after
noon with her two children. Seeing
that he was Grooming to himself" she
forebore to interrupt him, but stayed
in the fields at a distance, where she
could see him. She observed him wild
ly gesticulating and at times fairly
leaping with joy. She said to Allan
Cunningham, the poet, after her hus-
bands death, 81 wisht We had seen
him; he was in such ecstasy that the
tears were happing down his cheeks"
He committed the poem to writing by
the riverside and went into the house
and read 1t to his wife at the fireside

notable days work ever done in Scot.

Mr.. Moffat, who saw everything,
smiled slightly as he spoke encourag-
ingly to his witness and propounded
his next question:
Miss Cumberland, was your sister
with you when you went to the club
house?"
"No; we went separately"
"How?- VIII you explainT
81 drove there. I don't know how
Adelaide went"
"You drove thereW
"Yes. | had Arthur harness up his
horse for me, and drove there"
A moment of silence, then a slow
awakening on the part of judge, jury
and prosecution to the fact that the
case was taking turn for which they
were Ill prepared. To Mr.. Moffat 1t
was a moment Of intense self con-
graduation, and something of the
qualification he felt crept into his
voice as he said:
"Miss Cumberland, will you describe
this horseT
q ="
black spot on its left shoulder"
"To what vehicle was it attached"
"To a cutter-my brothers cutter"
"Was that brother with you? Did he
accompany you in your ride to the
Whispering Pines?"
"No. went quite alone"
Enhancement had now seized upon
every mind Even If her, testimony
were not true, but merely the wander
ings Of a mind not fully restored, the
interest of it was intense.
"And how did you return? With
whom and by what means did you re-
gain your own house?"
The answer came with simple direct
ness:
"In the same way went. drove
back in my brothers cutter, and, being
all alone, Just as before, / put the
horse away myself and went into my
empty home and up to Adelaide's ROOM
where l lost consciousness"
"Miss Cumberland, do you often ride
out alone on nights like that?
81 never did before. | would not
have dared to do 1t then If I had not
taken a certain precaution."
"And what was this precautionT
IT wore an old coat of my brothers
over my dress and one of his hats on
my head"
1t was out-the fact for the suppress
sion of which | had suffered arrest
without a word, because of which Ar
thur had gone even further and sub
mitted to trial with the same con-
stancy. Instinctively his eyes and
mine met, and at that moment there
was established between us an under
standing that was in strong contrast
to the surrounding turmoil, which now
exceeded all limits, as the highly
wrought up spectators realized that
these statements, if corroborated, de-
stroyed one Of the strongest points
which had been made by the prosecu-
| ton. This caused a stay in the pro-
ceedings until order was partially re-
stored, and the judges voice could be
heard In warning that the courtroom
would be cleared of all spectators If
this break of decorum was repeated.
"Miss Cumberland, will you now give
the jury the full particulars of that
evenings occurrences as witnessed by
yourself? Begin your relation, IL you
please, with an account of the last
meal you had together" said Mr.. Mof-
fat when the trial was resumed.

MEN OF WEIGHT.
Only Three of This Notable Eleven
Were Under 200 Pounds.

Were Under 200 Pounds.
On Aug. 10. IT'S, General Washing
Ton and ten other officers of the Revo-
lutionary army were weighed at West
Point, N. Y, and the result is pre-
served in an item from the English
magazine Notes and Queries. Only
three of the eleven weighed less than
200 pounds. The heaviest was Colonel
Swift, whose 3I9 pounds made him
lead the next, General Knox, at 2S0,
by thirty-nine pounds, but Knox WAS
only twenty-eight years old.
Then follow Colonel Michael Jack
son, 252; Colonel Henry Jackson, 23S;
General Lincoln, then forty-five years
old. 224; Lieutenant Colonel Hum
phreys, 221; Lieutenant Colonel Hun
tington, 212.
General Washington, forty-six years
old, weighed 200 pounds and was fol-
lowed at quite an interval by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Cobb and General Hun
tington, who weighed 1S2 pounds each.
1t is amusing tosnote that the heavi-
est mans name was Swift and that of
the lightest General Creation, who is
credited with 1865 pounds, 163 less than
Swift's record.
The total weight Of the eleven, 2,4S5
pounds gives 226 pounds as the aver
age, but Swift being omitted the other
ten averaged only PIT pounds.
They were certainly men Of weight
and substance and a heavy team-if
we may compare them with a modern
football eleven-that might well chal-
lenge comparison also with our mod
ern military men.

Reply of a "BeardIess Bow

When Keppel. commodore at twen-

gy from the dey Of Algiers for an In
suit to the British flag he took so high
tone that the dey exclaimed against
the insolence of the British king for
charging "beardless boy" with such
message to him. Replied the beard
less boy. "Were my master wont to

He had thought that he could win
bis case by the powers of oratory and
a somewhat free use of innuendo. but
his view changed under the fresh en-
hghtenment which he received In his
conversation with Carmel. He saw
unfolding before him a defense Of un-
paralleled interest. True, it involved
this interesting witness in a way that
would be unpleasant to the brother.
but he was not the man to sacrifice a
client to any sentimental scruple-
certainly not this client, whose worth
he was just beginning to realize.
Carmel was not strong enough for
much talk. DR.. Carpenter would not
allow 1t, and the continued clearness
of her mind was too invaluable to his
case for this farseeing advocate to
take any risk. She had told him
enough to assure him that circum-
stances and not guilt had put Arthur
where he was and had added to the
assurance details of an unexpected
nature so unexpected. indeed, that
the lawyer was led away by the
prospect they offered of confounding
the prosecution by line of defense
to which no clew had been given by
anything that had appeared.
He planned then and there a drama
tic climax which should take the
breath away from his opponent and
change the whole feeling of the court
toward the prisoner. Strangely enough,
the subject of Adelaide's death was
discussed in her hearing without any
mention being made of strangulation
as ITS immediate cause. Would her ac-
ton have been different had she known
that this was conceded fact?
