Sail Mater Cataracts.

There are Il good many salt water
c%ataracts in existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile and
British Columbia, where narrow fiOrdS,
Or arms of the sea, are obstructed by
barriers OF rock. The rising tide flows
over and filters through such reefs into
the great natural reservoirs beyond,
but the water is held back at the ebb
until it breaks Over the obstruction in
an irresistible torrent. Most curious
of all is the waterfall at Canoe Pas
sage, where the island of Vancouver
approaches the British Columbia main
land. Here the flood tide from the
gulf of Georgia to the southwark is
held back at Il narrow cleft between
two islands until it pours over in a
boiling cascade eighteen feet high, with
perhaps double the volume OF the
Rhine. At the turn Of the tide. how
ever, the waters from the north rush
back into the gulf, producing a cascade
of equal height and volume. The wa
terfa!l actually flows both ways.

sPRoUTED OATS FOR HENS.

When grass or any green growing
crop is not available it is necessary to
supply some form of green or succu-
lent feed, the lack of which often re-
suits in eggs with pale yolks. Cabbage,
beets, clover or alfalfa hay nay be
used for this purpose. Sprouted oats
form q very satisfactory green feed
where none other is available. To
sprout oats they should be soaked for
twelve hours in warm water and then
be spread ont, one-half to II and one
half inches deep. on Il floor or in II tray
or tier Of fats. with holes in the bot
tom or with one-f0urth inch wire mesh

kIed and stirred daily, or they may be
allowed to sprout without stirring until

CRUSHED THE CRITIC.
An Anecdote of Verdi and a Bother

An Anecdote of Verdi and a Bother
some Partisan Journalist.
The first production of Verdi's opera
'Othello' took place at Milan, and all
The prominent musical critics of Eu-
rope foregathered in the Cathedral
City in honor of the occasion. Among
them was a Partisan journalist of wide
reputation and admitted authority in
the musical world. His first care on
his arrival in Milan was to seek out
Verdi and ask to be allowed to be
present at one of the final rehearsals.
The composer received the critic with
extreme politencss. but replied that he
could not possibly grant his request.
rs he had decided that the rehearsals
were to lHc absolutely private. and he
could not make an exception in the
favor of iny one journalist. however
distinguished.
The Paris critic, far from pleased at
this answer, protested that in these
circumstances his account of the opera
might not be all he should like it to
be. You see" he explained to the
composer, who affected rot quite to
understand, Il shall have to telegraph
my article the same evening. 1t will
necessarily be hastily written, and the
impression in Paris the next day may
suffer in consequence"
But Verdi was more than equal to
the occasion. My dear sir" he made
answer. II do nor write for .tho noy+
day. The critic bowed himself out.

OF his home.
For more than two years the MUIR
der remained MYSTERY that was the
talk of the little community. Then
a few weeks ago Mrs. McElheney, in
fear of her own life and desperate,
she says, went to the county prose-
cutor, told him of her relations, OBJ
tanned at first by physical force, she
SAYS, with Roscoe Hornbaker and ac-
cused him of the murder of her hus-
band. Hornbaker was a rural mail
carrier.
After a hearing Hornbaker is now
held prisoner on charge of murder
in the first degree awaiting trial at
the next term of the district court,
which will be held in June. -'
Hornbaker admits his relations
with Mrs. McElheney but denies he
murdered her husband He declares
that she made the first advances by
showing him a picture postcard
showing a mailman kissing a pretty
country lass.
Mrs. McElheney in testifying at the
murder hearing said that her ac-
quaintance with Hornbaker began
when her husband was appointed
postmaster at Louisburg, some four
or five years ago.
Mrs. McElheney says her regard
for Hornbaker never was more than
neighborly, but his glance and speech
betrayed more than friendship for
her.

testified Mrs. McElheney at the hear
ing, land after meeting in Mrs.
Hornbaker's house in 1911 stayed
after the others had left, because
Mrs. Hornbaker said Roscoe, her hus-
band, wanted to talk to me. Then
Roscoe made love to me and told me |
of the wealth he would have when
Belle, his wife, died.

mot long after the exchange prop
osition was suggested Roscoe talked
to me alone in his house. His wife
was in another room. He tried to
love me but l refused him. A few
days later the attempt was repeated.
Then he tried it third time and in
sisted l do things 1 knew we ought
not to do"
Mrs. McElheney testified that
Hornbaker finally used force in get
ting her to submit to him, and after
that every time she could find an ex-
cuse Mrs. Hornbaker would call her
to the house so that Hornbaker
could meet her; that Mrs. Hornbaker
usually stayed in an adjoining room
while she was with her husband. She
said Mrs. Hornbaker was in a nearby
room the first time Hornbaker gained
his purpose by physical strength.
81 appealed to Mrs. Hornbaker,"
said Mrs. McElheney, ito make him

anybody turned her down it made her

to the exchange proposition which
Mrs. McElheney's husband had re-
jected.

on my husband" said Mrs. McElhe-
ney. "She didn't care what Roscoe
did" "
Then McElheney was shot and
killed.

One of O. Henry's best stories is
that of a hotel typewriter, who sud
denly finds herself adored by a Hetty-
Green-sort of patron Of the hotel and
is lifted from her life of every day
work to one of elegant luxuriusness.
She comes back to workaday life, but
that's not here nor there. The ele-
ment of unexpectedness with which
o. Henry always ends a yarn was
found in the girls resemblance to the
face on the silver dollar that had
won the old lady of millions. 1t is
recalled apropos of the fact that a
suecial gold dollar commemorative of
the Panama-Pacific Exposition, bear
ing the face of a laborer, will be
struck off at the San Francisco mint
in a few days.
Another commemorative exposition
coin is a fifty dollar gold piece. The
former viii have a double signifi-
canoe, for it will commemorate labor s
share in the building of the nation,
and will recognize the efforts of the
workmen who built the Panama
Canal. The emblem of labor will be
on the diverse side, and a repreSen-
tation of two dlphins, typifying the
oceans, will appear on the reverse
side. -
On the diverse side of the fifty dol
lar gold piece will be the figure of
Minerva. The reverse side will show
the owl, sacred to Minerva, the ac-
copied symbol of wisdom.
Again, labor gets it handed to her
hard A mere dollar gold piece,
when it might just as well have been
a fifty But such is life. It's the
wise ones that always get theirs.

The length of time that the Amer
lean flag will continue to fly in the
Pacific depends to a large extent up
on the support which is given to such
legislation as the recently enacted
seamen's act. Already, though it is
five months before the law goes into
effect, it is plain that it is going to
hamper instead of help shipping, and
while the regulations which affect
foreign ships, and at the same time
involve existing treaty conditions, do
not go into effect until next year.
there are no indications that all will
be readily agreed to.
For a great many years the Pacific
Mail Steamship company has been
operating many steamships. but the
impossibility of meeting the new re-
quirements of the seamen's act and
at the same time successfully compete

Citizens of Porto Rico.
(Boston Post. }

The people of Porto Rico are un-
questionably "men without a country
as we regard democratic nationality.
We took them from Spain, where
they had little or no place in that
monarchy, and we gave them in our
republic only a restricted recognition
in the conduct of their local affairs.
Will they ever come more fully to the
enjoyment of republican privileges?
In this island possession we have
a problem of peculiar interest. How
far can we go in the application Of
those ideas of popular government
which are held to be fundamental in
our system? Where shall our broad
principles be shifted to meet inciden-
tai conditions?
The demand for United States citi-
zenship comes again from these island :
ers; this time from representatives of
the laboring class there. It is accom-
panied by charges of mal-administra-
ton on the part of the territorial gov
eminent. The natives who work in
sugar and tobacco plantations allege
that they are oppressed and under
paid: that the right of free speech and
the privilege of strike have been de-
MED.
can the TACT Oh eAciuSioh iIolIi CAie-
ed States citizenship account for any
such discrimination? The fault, if 1T
exists, must be placed upon the adj
ministration of the authority already
established. 1t is upon this plan of
education and of sovereign control
that our occupancy of Porto Rico has
been undertaken. The ultimate citi-
zenship of that people must come;
but this can be realized only when
their capacity has been demonstrated.

to registration in other countries or
be placed in the domestic service.
For a country which Is anxious to
build up its merchant marine and
which is also anxious to extend rather
than curtail its foreign trade this Is
an unfortunate situation. No COM
pany OF that character is apt to sac
rifice it's business if there is a pos

of the new law and 1t is not likely
that the effects will be confined to
that company. They are going to be
