Decision on "RecaIl" Law.

A suit to test the Washington law
for the recall of officers was heard by
the supreme court of the state in
Pybus vs.. Smith, city clerk, in which
the plaintiff, councilman Of the city
of Wenatchee, sought to have the city
clerk enjoined from calling special
election to submit the question of his
recall to the voters. 1t appeared that
the charge against the plaintiff was
that he agreed to and did trade votes
with another councilman on matters
pending before the common council,
but the plaintiff contended that the
charge was not one for which he could
be recalled. The lower court dismissed
the plaintiffs suit and in affirming the
Judgment the supreme court said:
Whether this appellant could be
convicted of a misdemeanor in our
state upon the charge here made may
be regarded as somewhat doubtful.
But we are, however, of the opinion
that the facts here charged against the
appellant, If true, do constitute NAL
feasance in office on his part, within
the meaning of that word as used In
our constitutional and statutory recall
provisions, and form sufficient legal
cause for submitting to the voters OF
the city the question of his recall and
discharge from public office"

At length you find yourself at the
base of the central pagoda, surrounded
by a multiplicity of small shrines ex-
quisite in detail, but fantastic in con-
ception, yet with a sort of appealing
grotesqueness that causes your heart
to beat faster, as if it brought you to
the verge of an understanding of the
strange spiritual fervor which it rep
resents. In a vast court open to the
brilliant Asiatic sunshine those con-
fusingly numerous shrines display a
great variety of Buddhas, some reclin-
ing luxuriously among jeweled lotus
flowers, some bowed in profound med
itation, but all of them serene and
peaceful in feature in spite of tn r
profusion of paint and gliding. Among
the offerings piled about the shrines
are many old and worthless objects
such as paper umbrellas, fans, toys,
faded flowers and brass trinkets, but
there are also some pretty trifles of
personal adornment. At the feet of
smiling seated Buddha is coil of blue
black hair covered with the dust of
long pilgrimage, perhaps, bestowed by
very poor young girl who had moth
ing else to give.

BOWS TO JUDGMENT OF DOG
Writer Recognizes That Individuals of
Species Ought Thoroughly to
Know Their Kind.

In the American Magazine Will r.
win writes wonderful true dog story,
entitled. Togo, Mayor of Scituate."
Togo is remarkable dog in Scituate,
Mass.,-so we'll known and liked that
he is called the mayor of Scituate.
Togo's power is shown in the following
passage:
I'VE perceived at last that Togo had
constituted himself committee on ad
missions to Peggotty beach. When
ever a new dog appeared Togo took
the matter under advisement for a
time, while he decided whether the
stranger might remain. If he ruled ad
versely, he thrashed that dog and con-
tinued to thrash him until he learned
that he was not elected. am not say
ing but that Togo administers this Of
fee capriciously. He has refused beach
rights to individuals which seem to me
all that dog should be, as well as to
certain surly and treacherous examples
of the species. Still Togo may be
right. The judgment of sapient dog
on dogs, of woman on women-who
am that should disagree?"

Keeping Fish.

The very best way to keep fish in
camp Cor anywhere without ice) Is to
scale, clean and behead them; then
string them by cord through their
tails and hang them, downward, in a
dry, breezy, shady place. No fish
should be eaten that have been lying
in the sun or that have begun to
soften. 1t is In neglected fish that
ptomaine poison FORMS.
Do not put fish on string to keep
in water until you start home. It Is
slow and painful death to them. If
you have neither Iive-box nor net with
you, kill and bleed every fish as soon
as caught. The flesh will be much
firmer and far more palatable. Fish
and meat should be hung high in the
open, for it is a curious fact that blow
flies work close to the ground and sell
dom bother food hung over ten feet
from the ground, while it is claimed
that game or fish suspended at a
height of 20 feet will be immune from
blow-fies.

IS OF RARE BEAUTY
cANApA's FAMOUS RAINBOW
STONE MUCH ADMIRED.
Mixture Of coiors and It's Capacity
for High Polish Are the Two Quail
tiles That Have Brought IL
Into Prominence.

The gift to Sir Thomas Upton Of a
model in serpentine stone of his new
racing yacht has revived interest in
this beautiful stone, which some years
ago was much in vogue.
Serpentine is often found in con-
junction with asbestos. Canada pro-
duces about nine-tenths of the worlds
production of asbestos, which is large
ly used for insulating purposes and
also for weaving into flreproof cloth.
In the province of Quebec are to be
found the largest asbestos mines in
Canada. The production is large, and
1t is interesting to note that whereas
in 1909 the exports Of crude asbestos
were valued at $1,758,057, in 1913
the figures had increased to $2,4S6,.
769.
And in the same province are also
to be found some of the worlds most
beautiful deposits of serpentine.
1t was in 1916 that Queen Victoria
and the Prince Consort, when on a
visit to Cornwall, England, were shown
specimens of serpentine, which they
admired so much that several large
pedestals made of this stone were
ordered for Osborne house.
The patronage thus secured brought
serpentine into considerable fashion,
and among others who at that time
favored it were the duke of Westmin-
ster, who ordered a pair Of Luxon
obelisks IA feet in height; the Hon.
Pemberton Lee, who bought the first
and finest chimney-piece ever made
in this material; and the then duke of
Devonshire, who had several large
pedestals and pilasters, unequaled for
beauty and color, made for his sculp-
ture gallery at Chatsworth.
During the rather short-lived boom
in serpentine which followed, a man
ufactory on a large. scale of a great
variety of household and domestic or
naments, ETC., was started at Pen
zance, which afterwards passed into
the hands of London company. Ser
pentine was exhibited at the exhibit
lions of 1851 and 1852, and was
awarded medals on both occasions.
Serpentine, it may be mentioned,
gets it's name from the variety of the
colors which 1t presents. These colors
are of the most beautiful and varie-
gated description imaginable, black and
green, perhaps, predominating, with a
frequent mixture Of diallage; but the
choicest sorts are generally considered
to be those which show the greatest
number Of tints, and chromatic COM
binations are as various and many as
the figures in a kaleidoscope.
Some when cut and polished shine
with a metallic green luster on red
dish base. Then there is a rich jet
black, a purple, brown, red, GRIM
son, and bronze, and a cream-colored
striped, dappled, or variously inter
mixed and blended with one or other
tints. It we'll deserves the name Of
rainbow stone.
Several of the finest bank and other
buildings in Canada are beautified by
columns, pillars. panels, or fioorings
of this beautiful and vari-colored
stone, which takes perfectly exquis'
tie polish.

JOHN BULL BECOMING VAlN7
Really It Would Seem So, II Adver-

The vanity of the Frenchman and
his inclination toward corsets and
other feminine aids to beauty have
long been the object Of ridicule by
newspapers, but who would have
thought that our staid British cousins,
who have always pointed the finger of
.corn at such methods of attaining the
grace of an Adonis, would have fallen
under the spell.
That the Johnnies of the tight little
Isle are not above painting the lily"
however, is evidenced by number Of
bona fide advertisements recently
clipped from a popular London maya
zine. They relate to creams and cos
metics, the particular form Of vanity
which the Britisher derides In his
women folk. One of them reads:
"Mustaches forced quickly, cheaply,
secretly. Trial box, I'd"
Can we not picture the fair youth
