The Word "Set,"

What is the favorite word Of the
English language? The Germans have
their "schlag" and 'zug," which cover
many meanings. But we beat them in
the one word-not post" you
might suspect of the supremacy of am
biguity-but 'set" One always thought
that post was the word that meant
all things and nothing The punster
should watch the word "set," which
has achieved nearly seventy columns in
the new English dictionary. 1t is a
small word. but its meanings are al
most unlimited. You should set to
work on the word. which you use every
day in hundred senses. And it would
be pleasant, popular game to set
down the number of ways in which
you have used that word during the
day. "Set to partners" you might call
it--London Chronicle.

TALES OF CATS.
Stories That Come From the Historic
lower of London.

Stories That Come From the Historic
Tower of London.
Two stories of the intelligence and
sympathy of our feline friends were
told me during one of my numerous
visits to the Tower Of London while
was living in England.
Southampton was prisoner in the
Tower with the Earl of Essex during
Elizabeth's reign. In some strange way
or by some unrecognized faculty ia
suddenly appeared to him. having made
an entrance down the chimney. After
his release by James l., Southampton
had his picture painted with his faith
full friend at his side. The portrait.
believe, can today be seen at Wilbeck
abbey.
The other tale is of Sir Henry Wyatt,
who was committed to the Tower dur
ing the reign of Richard III. and suf-
fered much from want of clothing and
food. He would have perished If cat
had not come down into his room and
warmed him by lying on his breast
and saved him from starvation by
bringing him an occasional pigeon
caught on the leads. Although the
keeper was under orders not to i'm
prove his food. he agreed to cook any
thing which Sir Henry provided. and
the pigeons which the cat brought

Ice Cream and a Nerve.

Why do we sometimes get an ache in
the nose when eating ice cream. There
is nerve running along the back OF
the nose which doctors call the an
terror paIatne nerve. This has a
branch running along the base of the
nasal cavity and another branch run
ming along the palate. The ends OF
these branches join through finer
branches which run through openings
in the palate near the front teeth.
When we get some ice cream in the
mouth and keep it in front for mo
ment, so that the irritation produced
by the cold reaches the fine connect
ing branches the sensation may be
carried TO the branch in the nose. lr
ritation of this branch produces the
sensation OF pain We get the same
sensation when breathing very cold

MOCK WINDOWS.
They Were Common In England When
Real Ones Were Taxed.

Real Ones Were Taxed.
The window tax in England. very
old tax commencing in the reign OF
William Ill, was not discontinued un-
til Lord Halifax changed it to the
house duty in 1851.
1t must have caused a great amount
of consumption, anaemla and other foul
air maladies, for in 1850 there were
only an average of six windows in
English houses. Indeed, the British
architects are not yet free from the bad
influence of this tax.
In very many old houses in England
today there may be seen mock windows
painted on the walls for symmetry
hideous things. Not only were glazed
windows taxed, but any hole in the
wall was included. Indeed. in the early
days only very rich people in England
had glass windows. and so precious
were these that they were carried from
one house to another when people
moved their quarters.
Curious lodges were practiced to es.
cape the tax, such as extending one
window across two houses or making a
very wide division between two panes
of glass. The loss to the nation must
have been Il hundredfold the revenues
collected from this bad tax.-Boston

SINGING MOTHERS.
Charm Of the Music Of Their Voices to
Their Little Ones.

Charm Of the Music of Their Voices to
Their Little Ones.
They came TO me in a dream-those
singing mothers. A long. slow pro-
cession of shadowy forms. beautiful as
rainbOws and as wonderful. singing a
strange haunting melody full of mys-
terry. First came troops OF girl moth
ers. clasping their little babes with
tenderness that was half fear and
with wide. inquiring eyes filed with
holy light and the consciousness of the
deepest realization of life. Then came
strong mothers Of youth. leading hap
py faced children and confident with
sense of power. buoyant with hope
and radiant with promise. Last of all
came silver mothers of men. leaning
on their stalwart sons and, though
bowed with years, yet gloriOusly
young in spirit, hallowed by memories
and glowing with the victory OF
achievement And |. a mother. watch
ing these pass by and listening to their
haunting music, felt as never before
the divine significance of motherhood
and all the hidden meanings in the
word singing"
All this is music in marvellous
mood, but there is no music on earth
more appealing or more far reaching
than the voice of a mother singing to
her little ones. No audience ever lis
tened with keener rapture to any
prima donna than that little group
gathered in the twilight hour at a
mothers knee. II is her dearest joy
at that time to put into music all the
sacredness of motherhood and the hap
piness of childhood, to teach and to
charm and to tune the hearts of her
children.-Anne p. L. Field in Crafts

GOOD CLUB MEETING
Talent Commercial Club Has First
Class Meeting Addressed by
Professor Reimer.

The Talent Commercial Club held
one of the best meetings of its his
tory Tuesday evening. President Full
ler being in the chair. Mr. Fuller
spoke of the fact that in the Oregon
Almanac, of which $4,000 have
been put in circulation, Talent had
received but poor representation, and
suggesting that the club get in touch
with the Oregon Development
League before the next years al
manac was compiled, and see that
the merits of this burg had a suita-
BILE presentation.
The question of changing the
name from Commercial Club to some
thing more clearly setting forth its
true merits in the way of a club for
the improvement of its members
rather than it's secondary object of
promoting the commercial interests
of the town, was discussed. but a
motion to change to some other
name was voted down.
The principal event of the evening
was an address by Prof. C. A. Rel
mer of the state experiment station
His subject was Commercial Fertil-
izers," and he spoke specially as to
their use in the Rogue river valley
Much of the soil, he said, was low
in nitrogens, while some was low in
phosphoric acid. The latter could be
improved by the use of bone fertiliz-
ers and the nitrogen could be in
creased by growing legumes. The
address was very interesting as well
as very instructive, and was carefully
listened to by all present.
Mr.. Osgood of Medford was pres
ent and addressed the club upon the
proposed scheme of an irrigation
project covering the upper Bear
creek valley. 1t was proposed, he
said, to put a reservoir above Ash
land and store water during the win
ter and spring for use in the valley.
The project was estimated to cost
about one-half million dollars. The
first thing to do was to sign up the
land owners.
The initial cost would be $3.50
per acre, with perpetual water tax
of $3.50 per acre annually. He said
| that there had been 1000 acres al
ready signed up and that there must
be 1000 acres all told signed up be-
fore work commenced. The $3.50
would be divided into ten annual
payments, bearing interest, of course
He was unable to say on which side
of Bear creek the project would run
He declared that the work would
commence as soon as the requisite
amount of land was signed up.
After considerable discussion ol
the matter of the desirability of a
creamery in Talent a motion was
, passed instructing President Fuller
to appoint committee to investigate
the matter.
The next meeting of the CONNER
cial Club will be held Tuesday
March is. Another first-class pro-
gram is promised. Professor Reimer
will continue his talks on fertilizers
at the first meeting in April. These
talks will probably be given once a
month by Mr.. Reimer on fertilizers
and other subjects of interest to
farmers and fruit raisers.
