Reading For Bows.

Our young barbarians are primitive
beings. Life is to them a picture the
alter of physical activities. Action is
all. They would rather sail boat or
kick a ball than read a book, and when
they are cajoled into reading by a
flaming wrapper or a color plate it is
not for ideas or aesthetic impressions.
AS Stevenson said long ago, "Elo-
quence and thought, character and con-
versation were but obstacles to brush
aside as we dug blithely after a certain
sort Of incident, like pig for truf
f1es." Not for potatoes or other home
ly food; to the boy the merely real
spells dullness: "a day of my life at
school, is simply boring. The healthy
boy hungers and thirsts for incidents
and situations outside his experience,
so ardently indeed that he will weave
into the sad texture Of ordinary things

Coming a Word.

Nothing could be more fallacious
than the common notion that whatever
the dictionary says is right. Every
one of them contains much that is not
right. Worcester, for instance, had a
word, 'phantomnation," defined as
meaning "illusion," which was copied
from the cranky work of a man named
Jodrell, who presented as one word
every two word phrase not, according
to his idea, in regular grammatical
construction. He had made the word
from Pope's line "The phantom ma
tons of the dead and credited it to
Pope. His Obsession led to many 9th
er ridiculous perversions of language.
The one mentioned was repeated in
each work printed before 1890, when
it was dropped.-Chicago Record-Her-

Tolstoy's Handwriting.

In the Revue de Paris Count Ellie
Tolstoy describes his mothers expert
ences as his fathers amanuensis:
Being very ShOrtsighted, my moth
er had to bring her eyes close to the
paper to decipher my fathers fright
full scrawl. The work often took her
the whole evening and kept her busy
until long after the rest of the house
hold had gone to bed. When she found
a passage which was quite illegible she
used to go to papa and ask him to ex-
plain it. But that seldom happened.
for she was very reluctant to disturb
him. When she did so he took the
manuscript from her and asked, with
evident irritation: Well, what is it you
can't understand Then he began to
read it himself. but when he arrived
at the puzzling passage he was in
variably pulled up and had the great
est difficulty in even guessing what he
had written
Count Ellie TOlstoy adds that while
the spelling was often very bad, the
countess never failed to put it right.

Elephant Skin.

Elephant skin is very beautiful.
Moreover it is durable. But it is hard
to get.
The price of a live elephant is not
small, and, besides that. elephants do
not grow within a stones throw OF
our front doors. So the leather manu-
facturer that contracted to furnish
many elephant skin bags at a given
time would probably find himself I'M
der a big burden. He must wait un-
til some tame. pet elephant. so to
speak. dies.
Elephants are unusual enough, so
that many of them. after they die. are
stuffed and put in museums. Hence a
named elephant. one that has been
popular during life. will seldom fall
into the hands of leather dealers. Ii
is for the poor and wandering deniZens
of the circus and travelling animal
shows to end up on the counters of the
fashionable leather goods shops

Legislation.

the output Of the entire northwest,
appeared before Secretary of Com
1nerce Redfield here on Saturday
and asked his support in opposing
such pending national legislation
against trusts as might interfere with
the development of foreign trade, The
delegation desired that no laws be
passed by congress aimed at restraint
of trade which would prevent pooling
of the Pacific coast lumber in ex-
plotting foreign lumber markets. The
reason given was that no individual
operator could possibly undertake to
invade European or other markets
alone, but that If the industry as a
whole were allowed to pool it's inter
ests the world markets could be sue
cessfully invaded
