In London CIubIand.

In some Of the ultra exclusive clubs,
says the London Tatler, 1t is a serious
breach Of etiquette for one member to
speak to another without obtaining a
ceremonious introduction beforehand.
A painful case has just occurred in
certain old established and extremely
respectable Pail Mall caravansary. 1t
appears that n newly Joined member
in callous defiance of custom ventured
the other afternoon to make a remark
about the weather to gentleman with
whom he was not personally acquaint-
ed. The recipient Of this outrage
gared stonily at its perpetrator
"Did you presume to address me,
slr?" he demanded, with an awful
frown.
"Yes, did" was the defiant reply.
81 said 1t was fine day" The other
dlgested the observation thoughtfully.
Then, after an impressive pause, he
turned to its bold exponent. "Well,
pray don't let It occur again" he re.
marked as he buried himself once more
in his paper.

ORPHANS IN AUSTRALIA.
They Are All Wards Of the state and
Carefully Protected.

There are no orphans In Australia.
That is not because parents never die
there, but because when they do the
state at once steps in to the rescue Of
their little ones, Children who have
been robbed by death of their natural
protectors are practically adopted by
the government.
Unless some near relative manifests
desire to assume the responsibility
and can demonstrate his ability to do
so the child is committed to the chill
dren's council, which selects some
home among the farmers Of the coun-
try. These foster homes are examined
closely, and often two or three are
tried before one is found In which the
child finds congenial surroundings.
After thirteen the state feels that its
ward should earn more than board and
lodging. At that age, therefore, he Is
hired out, usually, however, to the fos-
ter parents who have been previously
taking care of him. Three-fourths Of
his wages are deposited In savings
banks; the remainder is his. When he
becomes Of age or If he wishes money
in order to learn trade or to attend
a more advanced school-or, In the
case of a girl, when she wishes to
marry-the savings are turned over to
the ward.-New York World.

FATE OF THE GRIZZLY.

The Tenderfoot Was Anxious to Get

An Idaho guide whose services were
retained by some wealthy young east
erners desirous Of hunting in the north
west evidently took them to be the
greenest of tenderfoots, since he un-
dertook to chaff them with u recital
something as follows:
at was my first grizzly, so l was
mighty proud to kill him in hand to

about sunrise. When he finally gave
up the ghost the sun was going down."
At this point the guide paused to
note the effect Of his story. Not a

MOOSE PREPARING FOR
A BIG CARNIVAL

With three special days, one for
Portland, one for Eugene and another
for Albany, and with the remainder of
the time devoted TO local features and
interests, the Salem lodge of the Loyal
Order of Moose will give a carnival
lasting an entire week from May 10 to
24,inclusive, If the celebration is n
success and meets the favor of local
people it will be made an annual event
The lodge has applied to the city
council for concessions for street
shows and other amusements. The
concessions will probably be granted
'at the council meeting on Monday
nights. The street features will in
clude the ordinary amusements of the
merry-go-round and the Ferris wheel,
but with the shows far ahead Of those
generally seen at street carnivals
There will be vaudeville and minstrel
shows of high class and a special eff
fort will be made to keep these amuse-
ments clean.
In addition to the street amusements
which will be operated continually ev-
cry day during the week there will be
special stunts and sports by members
Of the local lodge. A parade will prob
bly, be arranged and evening entertain
ments will be given nightly in the ele-
CANT quarters Of the lodge in the Der
by~Lafky building Details are to be
worked out later.
Members of the Moose lodges all
over the northwest will be invited to
attend the big show. The special days
that are to be given over to Portland,
Eugene and Albany will also be for
the benefit of the smaller lodges sur
rounding those cities.
The Moose carnival will be the first
summer gala feature Of the season
coming several weeks before the Cher
ry Fair. Officials of the lodge ex-
plain that the carnival is to be put on
primarily for the benefit Of the city
financially during the Quietness of the
summer months.
The Salem Moose lodge numbers
about 400 members, and since the com.
pletion of its new hall has established
reputation as an entertainer.

A MOVEMENT IN SCALPS.
Ono of Them, Though, For Good Rsa-
son, Was Firmly Fixed,


One day when Professor Powell was
hearing the class in anatomy he was
describing the manner In which the
various muscles Of the scalp perform
their several functions, says eX-GOver-
uor Theodore L. Geer, reminiscent Of
his schooldays in "Flfty Years In Ore
gon" 10 mako the subject clearer the
professor told the members Of the class
to move their scalps by aid Of the mus
cles without moving the head and pro-
ceeded to lead the way by giving per-
sonal demonstration.
He had shaggy head Of hair and
could turn his scalp almost halfway
round his head. The success that at
tended his maiden effort was so aston
lshlngly complete that 1t brought forth
roar of laughter, In which the pro-
fessOr heartily Joined, although his
mouth was where his right eye usually
was and his ears were under his chin.
When order was finally restored each
member Of the class tried 1t, with vary
ing degrees of success. But Tom Nix
Inns effort was a hopeless failure, al
though his superhuman attempts to
move his scalp were as laughable as
Professor Powell's grotesQue success
had been. Finally, after the poor fel-
low had made all the oblique grimaces
the class could endure, the professor
said:
Thomas, what is the matter with
your head?"
~ don't know, sir" replied Tom, "un-
less am the only one In the room
whose head is so full Of brains that
they crowd his scalp"

ALPINE CURLING.
Almost Surgical Skill Used on tho Ice
to Make II Perfect.

to Make IL Perfect,
Scotch players regard the conditions
of Alpine curling as somewhat too lux
urlous. The ice is almost too perfect,
and the tactics that proved successful
on the rough ice Of a Scottish pond
have to be abandoned in favor Of more
subtle methods.
The ordinary visitor to the Alps has
very little idea of the science and work
which are necessary to insure good
rink, and the Scotch curler who has
been accustomed to the rough ice form
ed by few nights frost is somewhat
startled when he sees an army Of Ice
men working through the night. A
rink in the Alps Is costly business.
The ground is carefully leveled in the
spring, and after the first fall Of snow

ing Is done IN Il series Of elaborate
stages, which can be carried out only
when the sun Is shining.
The secret Of good ice is to 60 slowly.
This was proved by a clever expert.
ment. The discovery Of this was due
to Rudolph Bauman, perhaps the best
Iceman in the Alps. He filed two
wooden tubs with water and the first
froze hard in a night. The second was
allowed TO Gil gradually, drop by drop,
throughout a fortnight The two blocks
Of ice were then put in the sunshine,
and, whereas the Ice that had been
formed in a single night disappeared
within week, the other block sur
yived for three weeks,
The ice is carefully doctored every
night with the skill Of first class sur.
geon. Small holes are trimmed and
scooped out with knife. They are
then filed with finely powdered ice
and sprlnkled with boiling water. The
result is an absolutely even surface Of

TURNING THE TIMBER
OVER TO THE SHARKS
Uncle Sam Selling Timber to SpeCula.
tors Who Hold Ii But Don't Have
to Pay for II.

The government is selling 267O0O,-
600 board feet of timber in the Priest
River valley Of the Kaniksu national
forest Idaho. This sale differs from
most of those made by the government
in handling its national forest timber
business. Not merely the ripe timber
will be sold tc make room for new
crop, but on part of the area the pur-
chasers will be expected to take every
thing in sight, after time-honored
fashion of most numbering that Is done
on private lands. In short, the forest
will be destroyed
In the Kaniksu sale part of the area
will be clear-cut because the land Is
more valuable for agriculture than for
forests Stumpland in the same neigh
borhood sells for as high as $40 or $50
an acre; sometimes even more. While
the present sand of timber on the best
land within the forest is, according to
the forest service, in general worth
more than the land apart from the tim
Der, the annual returns obtainable
from farm crops make agriculture the
best form of use for this land.
To open to homestead entry land
with from $4,000 to $1,000 worth Of tim
ber on each homestead unit, as is the
case of many homestead areas on the
Kaniksu, tends to put premium on
It's entry by timber spectators, From
the spectators they 60 to lumber COM
panies, and the lumber companies may
hold back agricultural development
either by keeping the timber intact for
a long period, or by cutting the land
clean and then holding 1t at a price
which the prospective home builder
looking for cheap land to develop can
not pay. Therefore the government
does not open to entry heavily tim
bered agricultural land on national
forests until after the timber has been
cut off.
In this instance the federal govern
ment will receive about $65O,OO0 for
the timber of which sum $225,OOO will
