EnsIIsh Averse to channa.

There is nothing more amusing In
all the quaint and curious customs Of
the English house OF commons than
the strange ceremony which marks the
termination of each session.
The moment the house Ii adjourned
l~oud-voiced messengers and policemen
cry out in the Hobbies and corridors:
who goes homer"
These mysterious words have sound.
ed night after night for centuries
through the hall of parliament.
The custom dates from a time when
It was necessary for members to 70
home in parties, accompanied by men
carrying links OF torches for common
protection against the foodpads who
infested the streets of London. But
though that danger has long since
passed away, the question who goes
homer is still asked, night after night.
during the session OF parliament.
No reply Is given, and none is ex.

nave TINS spirit, but it is noticeably
absent from the factory class. Even
the immigrants seem quickly to lose
that flush of hope and ambition with
which they arrive in'this country. The
factory routine seems to get into their
very souls, so that their whole life
settles down to a monotonouos drudg-
cry without a look forward or back
ward. They are chiefly concerned in
holding their jobs, and escaping the
horrors of unemployment--ih making
both ends meet. Beyond this there is
little horizon for day-dreaming and
ambition. Life to them is a constant
facing of aked,realities, and an actual
economy" or management, of re-
sources, not an effort to impress
themselves on their neighbors, and to
conform to the ways of those about
them. This .~deep.seated divergence in
standards and interests from the rest
OF American life may or may not be
important, for the factory class is
thus far politically negligible; but 1t
is interesting, and we'll calculated to-
suggest many unpleasant things to
American minds.--Randolph s. Bourne,

y Are All Children LIars9

Every teacher knows that every
child is a liar, but he does not know
that savage TAI is also a liar, that
the two phases are comparable, and
that it Is merely. the desire of the
child, as, indeed, with the savage
man, to tell You something which will
Please you. and to concoct the most
astonishing fabrications to satisfy that
desire A teacher knowing this would
not brand the child as a liar and pun
fish it accordingly. but by careful con
%versation cure the lying phases OF
child life. So, too, there are many
other phases, such as playing with
fire and the formation OF boy gangs.

Good Na.ure and Humorous Tonsue.

Good Mature and Humorous Tongue.
In a village Of about five thousand
inhabitants In Tioga county, New
York, a modest fortune has been
amassed by a man who at the age of
forty-fve left the navy without even
a trade to fall back upon and no as
sets except a humorous turn to his
tongue.
Having done some cobbling when a
young man, he entered a shoe store
for a time and later set UP a little
shop of his own for repairing shoes.
That was ten years ago. His good ma
ture and industry won him the trade
Of the town; a newly acquired habit
of thrift promted him to buy on the
installment plan the little shop and
house In which he lived.
Today a fine brick building is re-
placing the wooden one and the cob
bier himself may give up his last IL
he wishes. But that he has no dis
like for 1t is evidenced by his recipe
for success, which is:
Gust keep pegging away. ... (

WRITTEN BY ONE WHO KNOWS
Male and Female Humorists at Work,
and Also In Their Less Harmful,
Moments Of Leisure.

Humorists are people who cut, At
and finish Jokes, jests and light verse
and do plain and fancy writing which
Is not serious. III a, u
Male humorists do this by lighting
a pipe or a cigar, sticking a sheet of
paper into a typewriter and wishing
they had adopted a mercantile career.
Female humorists accomplish the
feat by twisting their back hair into
a knot, nihbling chocolate creams or
chewing some gum, and manipulating
the typewriter in the customary man
ner. II
AS a general thing, nowadays,
humorists are very human. There
are more of them than there used to
be- The women dress like their sis
ters, and the men r perfectly CON
ventional in their attire.
Occasionally you come across an
old-sehool humorist, or a modern n
who cllngs to the old-schoof tradi
lions. He imagines that he has to
wear most solemn face, never smiles,
and looks panied when you laugh at
what he says, This variety goes great
on the rural Iyceum circuit. Z
Humorists are always introduced as
such. Plumbers, housebreakers, bank
ers. dry goods men and Wholesale gro
GERS are never classified when intro
duced, but humorists are always spe-
cited. Immediately the persons to
whom they are introduced wait expec-
family for them to say something wild
ly witty. Immediately, also, they are
disappointed, unless they are of the
class who shrek with joy when the
hamorist politely rays: ut is a nice
day"
HumorIsts always have to explain
why they are humorists instead Of fol-
lowing some more laborious occupa-
ton. Also they are expected to de-
liver afterdinner speeches for nothing,
because being funny is second nature
to them, and they are not supposed to
have any remuneratiye way of spend
ing their odd moments. qs
The difference between a humorist
and a comedian Is that a comedian
uses the humorist's humor. II the
humorist used the comedians humor
he would starve to death. Another DIFF
ference is that the comedian makes
from three hundred to hve hundred
dollars a week.-Life.

APPROPRIATIONS FOR
THE j. Of D. ARE MADE
Total Amount Granted Is $3.50, 1888. rs
in Addition to the Standing
Appropriations.

In the house this noon the state
highway aid compromise bill drawn
by the joint house and senate roads
and highways committees, was intro
duced by unanimous consent The bill
seems to meet with favor on all sides.
1t provides for the creation of a
state road board to consist of the gov-
ernor, secretary of state and state
treasurer, they to appoint state road
commissioner to serve for an annual
salary of $4,000, The bill provides for
tax levy Of one-half mill for state
aid in building roads,
The house acted on the appropria-
tions for the University of Oregon and
State Agricultural College today. The
appropriations for the University Of
Oregon, amounting to $2S0,33375, in
in addition to the regular standing ap-
preparations, went through as asked
for, The appropriations were contain
ed several bills.
There was but little opposition. Mr..
Eaton, of Lane, guided the bills on the
floor and answered all questions ask
ed, incidentally, during the debate,
the University of Oregon and its work,
and the work Of the ways and means
committee of the house were generally
highly praised
Eaton, in a general statement as to
the bills and the needs of the univer-
sity, pointed out that the millage tax
Of three-tenths of mill for the sup
port Of the state educational institu-
tions, and which would give the uni
yersity in round numbers about $780,
600 annually, would not 60 into effect
until 1915. He called attention to the
fact that the university had not re-
ceived any state appropriations since
1907.
Not building had been added to the
institution for six years past, he said,
and during that time the attendance
had increased 200 per cent. The ap-
preparations now asked for had been
cut to the bone. "The situation is
this" said Eaton. in order for the
institution to get along at all 1t is abb
solutely necessary for these appropri-
ations to be made as recommended by
the ways and means committee"
Each bill was first considered in
committee of the whole. The main
fight was on the $4,000 asked for a
summer school and the extension
work. Schuebel's amendment to cut
this sum to $4,000 was defeated. La
tourotte, Smith, Forbes, Howard, Nit
chell, Johnson and Carldns were
among those who praised the univer-
sity extension work and threw bou-
quets at the ways and means COM
mittee for its work in economy. Smith
declared that about $1O,OOOOOO in ap-
had been asked for and
that the committee had succeeded in
pairing this down to about $5,1OOOOO.
All the speakers asserted that the leg
islature would make mistake lf It
