London's Hot Baked Potatoes.

There are few colder places on
winters night than the streets Of Lon
don. Naturally anything warm is well
coined by wayfarers. Roasted chest
nuts and hot pies stand high in public
favor, but the cry of Baked potatoes,
all hot! is peculiarly inviting. The
simplest form Of a potato can-really
more like box than a can-is of plain,
implanted tin. not unlike that used by
the street pieman. In the central pOr-
ton the potatoes are kept hot, while
in compartments on each side salt and
butter are kept. A large pepper box
usually stands on the top of the can.
A small valve lets out the steam, and
its whistling guides the traveller In
search Of hot potato. Street corners,
where an omnibus stops or near places
of amusement, are favorite spots for
the vendors of this delicacy. The sea-
son lasts from the latter part OF Sep
TENDER until about the Aend OF March
1t is said that more than 5000 people
gain their livelihood in this way In the
streets Of London. e

Animal Life.

The May fy's life is complete in four
to five hours. during which it is born,
natures, loves, fights, mates, propa-
gates and dies The ordinary moth
lives three to four days, the locust
(grasshopper lives four weeks. dragon
fly six to eight weeks, male bees or
drones four to FIVE months, snails two
to three years. queen bee two to three
years, mouse six years. squirrel six
years, pigeon ten to twenty years, ca
nary twelve to fifteen years, rabbit ten
years, brer fox fourteen years, craw-
fish twenty years. pig twenty years,
lion thirty-five years. toad frog forty
years, cat forty years. bear fifty years.
raven 100 years. elder duck. 100 years,
parrot 100 years. golden eagle 1O4
years, white headed vulture 118 years.
pike 200 years. carp 200 years, elephant
200 years and swan 800 years.
Considering the fact that the aver
age mans age is only about thirty
three years, it will be seen that many
members of the animal kingdom have
a great advantage over the human race
in their allotted length of life.

MEETINGS WELL ATTENDED

Increasing numbers has necessi-
tated the bringing of more chairs to
the Congregational church where
DIR. Cairns is holding special series
of meetings.
On Monday night he gave a strong
address on Faithful Christian Liv-
ing" as proof to the world of the
truth of the Christian religion. The
faithly and unselfish life of some
mother or friend is often more power
full than the most eloquent sermon
in winning men in allegiance to
Christ.
Tuesday night the church was
crowded, many sitting in the aisles.
The subject was 1.-THE New Birth. I"
By many apt illustrations the speaker
bowed the need of it in the fact that
when freed from the restraints of
home and society men not in touch
with God become rapidly more evil.
The conditions upon which God
works this wonderful change in the
heart of men were expounded and at
the close several requested prayer
and two came forward to express
their trust in the Master.
The meetings will continue each
night except Saturdays through the
week and DIR. Cairns will each even
ing give Bible lectures; also at 2::3O
p. m. on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday.

Dr. johnson and Tea.

Jonas Hanway was an inveterate foe
to tea and wrote a pamphlet in which
he ascribed the majority of nervous
disorders to tea drinking. He declared
that the practice was sapping the vigor
of Englishmen and spelling the beauty
of women and expressed horror at the
fact that no fewer than six ships were
employed in the China tea trade. DIR.
Johnson, who reviewed Hanway's dia
tribe in the Literary Magazine, prefac-
ed his criticism with the frank avowal,
'The author is to expect little justice
from hardened and shameless tea
drinker, whose kettle has scarcely time
to cool, who with tea amuses the even
ing, with tea solaces the midnight and
with tea greets the morning." but even
he admitted that tea drinking was not
good for the working classes, as he
thought it an inducement to idleness.

HOQUIAM LAYING BITuLlTHIC

With fair weather coming on,
Hoquiam is actively engaged in
street improvements. Business con-
ditlons generally in Hoquiam are
such as to warrant extensive work
as indications point to long period
of increased prosperity and activity.
The intention of the council is to
build carefully, with permanency,
as we'll as first-class streets at the
present time, as the chief object.
After making a careful study OF
paving materials, bitulithic is being
used extensively. Bitulithic has
been found to be lasting and eco
nomical and especially easy on
horses and automobiles. Its past
record in many Northwestern cities
shows it to be well suited to the eli
matte conditions of this section,
which is matter of importance in
choosing paving. ADV.

MAKES BRIDGE A CERTAINTY

The state senate last Friday passed
the bill locating the state highways.
The bill as it went through makes
specific provisions for two routes
from Kennewick and Pasco to Spo-
kane. In designating this as the
diverging point for the two highways
Kennewick and Pasco are assured
OF a bridge across the Columbia.
Though no appropriation for such
structure is expected at this ses-
sion, it is possible that a small ap-
preparation may be secured for a
preliminary survey, and that the
100000 appropriation will be Sc
cured in 1915.

A STATEMENT

In answer to the criticism of the
state examiner who filed his report
on the affairs of School District No.
II, last September, I wish to say
that his statement as to the absence
of warrant stubs covering payments
of school expenses during period
from Sept. 6, 1909 to March 5, 1912
while true, is due to no fault of my
self or other directors.
The facts of the case are that on
6 $1,000, the last warrant
was drawn on the old form, with
stubs, and every warrant drawn pre-
viously had been registered on stubs
which will be found on file. On
% we received ten books,
or 900 warrants and vouchers COM
bined, without stubs, from the state
board of education at Olympia, and
were ordered to use them in place of
the form we had been using previous
ly. When we had used these, we
had supply printed locally of a
similar form, but with stubs, and
this is the form now in use.
AS every warrant which was
drawn without stub was registered
in book which is now on file at
the office, and as the examiner was
acquainted with these facts, | believe
the criticism in his report was un-
fair and uncalled for.

Musical Sound and the Ear.

The we'll trained ear of a musician
can distinguish notes differing only
one hundredth part of tone from one
another. Most people cannot perceive
a difference of one-tenth of tone, and
a few can scarcely tell one tone from
another. The cause of this curious dis
parity resides in slight differences in
the structure Of the cOchlea, a wonder
full piece of apparatus in the inner
most part of the car. 1t is a little
body shaped like snail shell and be-
!ieved to be the part of the hearing
apparatus which recognizes musical
sounds In it's structure it closely re-
sembes the strings of piano and even
has a damper to prevent the mixture
of sounds quickly following one anoth-
err This little musical apparatus is set
going by vibrations received from the
middle ear or drum. and in some mys-
terious manner it sends these on to the
brain through the auditory nerve in
the form of musical sounds.

An Insult.

Angrily the head of the haberdashery
concern stornied into the employment
agency and demanded an interview
with the manager.
II understand" he said, that you
have been recommending as Al col
lectors certain young men whom you
represent as having collected money
from us. If they can get it from us
they can get it from anybody. That's
the way you make it appear, conse-
quently your clients land good jobs"
With visions of possible libel suits
rising before his guilty conscience, the
agent attempted self justification.
"You are considered pretty hard nuts,
you know" he said.
"Oh, that's all right" said the man.
ut amt that I'm kicking about, but
not one of your men has ever collected
a dollar at our shop, and it don't do
any good to lie about it."-New York

Il MIGHT Have Been Worse.

Mark Twain during one Of his lee
ture tours was waiting at a station
for a delayed train. The lecture COM
mittee and several townsmen were
with him and talking their best to pass
the time away. One man told about
frightfully unhealthy town he had read
about, and it was grewsome tale OF
dying and burials and that sort. 1T
might have been worse" Twain fol-
lowed, in his slow and direct manner
81 lived in that same town for two
years, and l never died once-not a
single time" The way he said it
seemed to daze the crowd, and not
man said a word in response. "Of
course you may think I'm lying" the
humorist continued, land I'm sorry, for
I can't get any witnesses to testify
that l didn't. because everybody else
that lived there Is dead"

Breakfast In NORWAY.

Home brewed beer has of late years,
says Harold Simpson in his "Rambles
In Norway" largely displaced spirits
as the national drink of the Norwegi-
ans. 1t is so popular that it is used
even at breakfast to wash down the
stock dish-fried pork smothered in
onions. The first sight of Norwegian
breakfast table, adds the author, is apt
to astound one. It Is covered with
small dishes, principally fish-fresh
fish, smoked fish. fish in tins, fish in
miniature barrels. There are also cold
meats and an endless variety of
cheeses, of which the Norwegians are
very fond

JAGGED IN JAIL.
Prisoners of CowIey County Steal
Bottles of Evidence.

Wellington, April 1S.-A crooked wire
and a broom stick were the implements
Dy which some of the prisoners in the
county Jail acquired a supply of Jag
juice Tuesday evening; the supply being
a part of the evidence in the case of
the raid on the automobile, pulled off by
the sherins force in January. A hilar-
ious time, accompanied by some efforts
| to set the Jail on fire was the result of
their enterprise. Both the hilarity and
the flames were eXtinguished by the Wig
orous action of the sheriffs men.
The liquor was in telescope" grip,
in the back end of the padded cell, up
stairs. But it is the custom to let the
prisoners out of the big cell into the hall
at meal time they can go to the dining
room. This gave them access to the door
of the padded CELL, and for some time
they have been making preparations to
capture some of the liquor. These they
put into effect when let out for supper
Tuesday. They were able with the wire
and broomstick to drag the grip to the
door, through which they could reach
with their hands To open the grip and
get out a dozen bottles of booze was an
easy task.
Their too great joyousness called atten-
ton to their depredations, and measures
were taken to stop them. The liquor not
yet consumed, six bottles was recaptured.
But later, still under the effects of what
they had drunk, they broke up the table
and chairs in the cell room and set them
on fire. 1t was put out without any dam
age being done; and the most violent of
the offenders were put in the dungeon.

reIeree OF the A. A. A.
Mr. Taylor determined upon this
