Sad Time for Frenchmen.

One hundred years ago the conven.
ton OF Paris was concluded between
France and the victorious allies. This
convention preceded the drawing up
OF the formal treaty which was to
determine the position OF monarchical
France in Europe. In general, It re-
stored the boundaries OF France as
they had been in 1892. before the
Napoleonic conquests. All the vast
territory outside OF France that had
comprised tho empire Of Napoleon
was taken from her at one stroke Of
the pen. 80 much bloodshed to no
purpose" said the historian Of the
times, so much wealth spent without
result" Small wonder, then, that the
entire French nation experienced a
painful sense Of depression and that
the restoration OF the monarchy ex.
cited little interest. much less en-.
thusiasm.

ELECTRICITY IS GREAT AID
Modern BattleshIps Are Equipped
With Electric kltchens-PeeI Po-
tatoes and Cut Bread.

1t Is no small task to prepare and
cook the meals for the hundreds of
men on modern dreadnaught. Be-
cause of the magnitude of this work.
and the rigid economy Of room neces-
sary, Uncle Sam has ordered his bat
tleships equipped with electric motors
to do the kitchen work and electric
ranges to cook the food.
Every modern battleship carries
crew of about thousand men. Peel
ing potatoes, chopping meat and vege-
tables, washing dishes. etc., for such
a bunch Of hungry fellows is giant
task. But electricity does all this
work very easily and quickly. The
potatoes are merely washed and
dumped into large revolving cylin,
der. The sides and bottom of this
cylinder are lined with a sharp
abrasive, similar to coarse sandpa
per. This quickly cuts of the skins,

The bread for the table is cut into

TIME HAPPILY SPENT
LITERARY WORK INVOLVING
ENORMOUS LABOR.
Famous Historians Spent Larger Part
Of Lifetime In Collecting Materials
for volumes-Scott a Notable
Exception.

Buckle devoted nearly twenty
years to the collection Of material for
his History of Civilization" He
wrote only portion Of the introduc-
tion, which remains a monument to
his literary achievements. II the work
had been finished on the same scale
as begun a hundred volumes would
have scarce sufficed.
Bancroft devoted nearly thirty
years to his History of the United
States" which, strictly speaking, is
not a history Of the country at all,
since 1t ends where the history Of the
United States properly begins. Had
the work been continued on the same
scale down to the present he must
have written seventy-five Of eighty vol.
umes.
Scott Is said to have written IVA.
verley" in less than six weeks. He
composed very rapidly, seldom re-
vised, and as a consequence his nov
els contain many errors of fact and
anachronisms.
Burns committed his poems to mem
ory before he wrote them. and when
he sat down to write he had before
him little labor Of composition, since
he had only the task Of writing down
that what he had already finished.
A period Of 20 years was consumed
by Gibbon In the labor Of writing the
Decline and Fall Of the Roman EN-
pire." This was one Of the most stu
pendous literary feats ever accom-
plished by one man.
1t took Thomas Moore two years
to search for and prepare the mate
rial necessary to the composition oi
"Lalla Rookh," and two additional
years were required for the actua
writing OF that work.
George Eliot is said to have written
"Middlemarch" In four months. Some
doubt, however. is cast upon this state
ment by the fact that she commonly
worked with. great care and delibera
tion, and made few erasures after the
work was done.
In his preface to David Copper
field Dickens says he spent two years
In the composition of that work. He
did not usually require so long a time
many Of his novels being finished In
a year. and most OF the short stories
In few days.
Though 1t is said that Congrev,
could prepare drama for the stage
In few days, four or five times thai
period was given to the work Of re
vision and reconstruction after tn,
play was given to the actors.
Nearly FIVE years was taken by Irv
ing in the writing of THE Life o.
George Washington" though 1t re
quired no more than ten days to writ,
the first 120 pages OF "Bracebridg,
Hail." The Alhambra" was writer
d diring the three months he spent IL
that palace.
Froude consumed seven years in tn,
preparation OF materials for and II
the writing Of his History OF Eng
land" He was very accurate, ant
often spent days In an effort TO verif,
a single date or fact.

In the West and Southwest will recall
the efforts of the Indians to keep

New Dormitory Building.

Contractor Lloyd c. Cutler will build
the first dormtory building for Hood
College upon the college farm. The con-
tract has been let to Mr.. Cutler for
building $50 by so feet and three stories
high. Work will commence at once and
the building is to be completed by Au-
gust 18th, 1915 The contract price was
SIS, 500.
The new building will occupy a posi-
ton 100 feet west of the administration
building and 100 feet to the rear of this
building and the building will set at
right angles to the administration build
ing.
Contractor Cutler has staked out the
building. and the work of excavating for
the foundation will begin as soon as pos
sible. The new building is planned to
accommodate 100 students, but when the
college opens in 1915 onty SO students
can be accommodated there as a portion
of the building will be given over to a
kitchen and dining room temporarily.
Later this portion of the building, when
refectory is erected, will be given over
to dormitory purposes
The dormitory building will be of
brick with stone trimmings and the gen.
eral style of architecture will be much
along the same lines as the administration
building. The new building will have an
end towards the Montevue Pike, and
and west, and will assure sunlight in
every room for a portion of each day.

50. 900 Fire at Jefferson.

Fire on last Friday hight. August 28th,
did much damage in the general store OF
Marriott & Marriott, of Jefferson, this
county, and before being gotten under
control did damage approximating
$4,000. The fire was discovered by Miss
Marriott, at about one O'Clock, and she
aroused her brother who had retired
1t was found that the store was afire and
an alarm was sounded. Aid soon arriv-
ed and bucket brigade was formed, but
because of the fact that the fire had gotten
between the plastering and the flooring
above, the fire was most stubborn one
to fight. After more than an hour and a
half 1t was gotten under control 1t is
estimated that the damage to the build
ing will be about 5000. The damage to
the stock will be hard to estimate. 1t
was chiefly among the .drv goods. The
store is in two rooms, and the one side
where shoes, etc., are carried, the fire
did not reach.
How the fire started IS a mystery.
There had been no fire in the store and
an examination shows THAT the fire evil
IDENTIFY started near the floor of the store.
Residents of the town were summoned
by the ringing of the church bells and
more than 200 persons congregated. The
building ia owned by Miss Eva Ann
