SEEMS LIKE LAW OF NATURE
That Physical Abnormaiity Means
Short Life Is q Fact Handed
Down Through History.

The tallest woman in the world
died recently. She was eight feet
three inches in height, but she lived
only thirty-eight years.
This calls attention to one Of ma
lures curious contradictions. Giants
are notably short lived. Not long
since boy nearly eight feet tall died
soon after his eighteenth birthday /;
and instances where men much above
even feet in height have reached the
age of fifty years are almost I'M
known.
Length Of days does not go with
excessive length Of limb. But tall
ness which stops short of giantism
usually is a sign of vitality. Tall re-
eruits in continental armies-provid-
ed they are of proper weight-give
least trouble from sickness and gain
most from physical training. 1t
must be remembered in this connec-
ton that "tallness" is not the same
everywhere. Men accounted tall in
southern Italy would be rather short
in western Scotland or among the
native stock Of America.
1t is as if nature had fixed a
standard height for each race and
punished by some physical shortcom-
ing those who varied much from
that standard in either direction.

FASTING LUxURIoUsLY.

Lent is now upon us, and Bishop
0Gorman of Sioux Falls, discussing
Lent the other day, said:
"It's the spirit rather than the
letter of our observation of Lent that
counts. / mean that one may sew
for the poor and at the same time
talk scandal; one may fast and at
the same time gormandize.
'Two plump and rosy gentlemen
were talking about Lent.
"Brool trout has gone up said
the first.
"Perigord truflles and Marennes
oysters we're never so dear before,
the second murmured.
"'The price of snapper and dia-
mond back is prohibitive-positively
prohibitive.'
Wine and fresh vegetables
whether from Florida or California
are worth their weight in gold.'
"The first gentleman sigher anC
exclaimed:
"'Alas, in these days of higl

REGARDED STAMPS AS HEALING

One of the teachers in the Provi-
dence public schools has been very
active in persuading her pupils to
buy, and also sell, as many of the
Red Cross stamps as they could, and
to stimulate their interest she gave
a talk on the stamps and their mis-
sion. In conclusion she said: "The
stamps are something we should all
be ready to spend our pennies for,
because they are made to prevent
that dreadful disease, tuberculosis. ,
The children were duly impressed /;
and a boy in a rear seat begged leave
to speak.
please, Miss Mitchell, where do
you have to put the stamps to cure
you?"

WANT UNFAMILIAR SCENES.

Bull fight pictures do not take
well with moving picture patrons in
Mexican cities. They prefer scenes
from other lands, or of less amiliar
spectacles. In fact there has been q
decided falling off in the popularity
of bull fighting in various places
since the "movies" have gained a
foothold, and some authorities be-
lieve that they will ultimately do
much to cut down the patronage and
undermine the prestige of what has
long been considered the national
sport of Mexico.

MEMORY A MATTER OF HABIT
Foroetfulness, II 10 Asserted, ArIscs
largely From a Special Kind
Of Lazlnoss.

Memory, according to psycholo-
gists, is good deal matter Of
habit, and lack Of il arises largely
from a special kind of lazincss. We
see the truth Of this when we OBJ
serve the prodigious memories of
some Of the men Of letters a century
ago, and then compare their educa-
tion with the system Of teaching
which now prevails. When we won
der at their ability to quote offhand
at almost any length we must re-
member that from their earliest days
they we're taught TO memorize. They
had to learn things by heart, and
learn them exactly, with the result
that in childhood they formed, per-
force, the habit of remembering with
absolute precision.
What we need nowadays is a sort
Of mental training analogous to this
older schooling. Let us by all means
keep to our filing cases and memo
randum pads, but let us at the same
time keep our memories active by
making them work. The simple
process of committing poetry to
memory, futile as it may seem to
some, is one of the most useful kinds
Of intellectual exercise. And if we
do not before long make general use
Of some such stimulus it begins to
look as though our memories would
join our appendices as now useless
relics of an earlier stage of existence.

Glass is very desirable but

Glass is very desirable but
not absolutely necessary for COW
ering hot beds. Unbleached
muslin will answer the purpose.
Hotbeds need watering occa-
sionally and should be covered
up on cold nights. On bright
days the cover should be remov-
ed, care being taken not to leave
it off too late in the evening.
A hot bed prepared in this way
is inexpensive and should be
found on every farm and may
also be made in every house yard.
The season for vegetables is thus
heightened u few months, and
the vegetables are available ear
ly in the spring just when they
always taste best. Lettuce and
radishes are the favorite hot-bed
crops but many others can easily
be grown.

Industrial Contest for
Oregon Boys and Girls.
by N. C. MARls

Our last article told about the
five cash prizes 500, $75, $50,
and $40, to be given to the coun-
ties that makes the best showing
in the children's contest.
In any county not entering
this competition, any and all one
room schools may enter the dis
trict competition. The first prize
in this is n Victor Photograph
and twelve records. given by the
publishers of the Rural Spirit.
This would be fine thing for
entertainment in the school and
a great aid in making the school
a social center.
The second prize is an eighteen
inch library globe given by the
Northwest Furniture Company,
a useful article in any school.
The third prize is a school flag
given by the publisher of the
Pacific Northwest.
The fourth prize. another
school flag, given by A. l.. Mills,
President of the First National
Bank. Portland, and the fifth
prize is a Babcock Tester, given
by Monroe and Crissel.
Every school should show its
patriotism by floating the stars
and strips. A Babcock tester
should be in every school. Its
use is one of the best ways to
teach percentage. and it will en-
courage an interest in dairying.
This industrial contest is one
in which every girl and boy at
school can take a part.
While the pupils are thus ad-
their school and county
and increasing their pride of
home and patriotism. they are
also learning to do something
something by which they
can earn a living and can also
make of themselves more valu-
able citizens.
The prize list will be off the
press in a few days. In the
meantime be planning to do all
you can to help win one of those
fine district or county prizes.
Your articles can compete in the
Individual classes. also, even
though they are a part of a
county or district exhibit.

LATEST DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE NOTES
('rom Our Portland Correspondenu

tFrom Our Portland Correspondent
Since last August not a hog
has been imported into this state.
This is the encouraging news
made public last week by C. C.
Colt head of the Union Meat Co. :,
Portland, who says Oregon farm
ers are going extensively into
the business of livestock raising.
During 1911, more than half
the total number of hogs receiv-
ed at the Portland market came
from Nebraska. Last year. this
number decreased to a remark
able extent and now it appears
that Oregon will not need to i'm
port any more pork in order to
feed its own people. On the
other hand, we may soon be in a
position to make substantial ship
ments outside the state.
Mr.. Colt submitted figures

College Education
Makes Good Farmers.

sity graduates, It should be
charged against them as indivi-
duals not against the fact that
they are college graduates.
The employee on a farm who
would play the mandolin or rest
in the shade during the hours he
should be at work would watch
the clock and soldier" on his
Job wherever he might be even
though it were in mahogany fur
nished offices. Undoubtedly such
college men "cut" classes when
students and use a pony" to
assist them in their translations.
They are simply 50-cent boys into
which hopeful parents are trying
to cram a $4,000 education. 1t
isn't the fault of the education if
it can't be done.
The number of college men
who are making success of
farming is much larger than the
laymen think. In fact, the agri-
cultural districts of the richest
portions of our country are filled
with college men.
Our neighbor, Hood River,
Ore, distinctly a fruit growing
community, has more college
men In proportion to the total
number of inhabitants than any
other community is this country.
1t was a university man who
discovered the fact that Texas
could grow the famous Bermuda
onions fact that state celebrat-
ed within the past few days.
The greatest stretches of
Northwest Canada are teeming
with successful college men.
II New York farmers prefer
foreigners to college men, some
thing is wrong with the system
of New York farming. Maybe
they want poems instead of help.
