EASY TO BE BACK NUMBERS.

Columbus, O., Dlspatch.)
 One of the easiest things, these swift moving days. Is to become a back number. A lawyer may school him self thoroughly In the knowledge of his profession, but if he Is to win, he must continue his study; there will be some- thing for him to learn every day, and then he will wish for longer days in which to learn more. So With phy- sician. especially with a specialist. Every day is sure to add something 10 his particular science, and he must know it, If he Is to lead. What Is true of these two professions of law and medicine Is true of every profession and skilled employment, The knowl- edge. which is all the time accumulat- ing. one must have as certainly as the carpenter must have his tools.
 That Is why It Ia so easy to be- come a back number Keeping abreast of the knowledge peculiar to ones oc- cupation is hard work and constant work, but the reward Is abundant for the man who thus exerts himself Years may come to silver his hair, but he is still the master of his task, and he will not be distanced by the new corners in his field of endeayor. More over, his keen interest will keep him young, his continued success will con serve his health, and he will serve |. better and live longer. Don't by any sort of a letdown run the risk of be- coming back number.

Bound to Succeed.
There is feature of Dickens char.
acter which cannot be too often or toe
seriously insisted upon, and that is bis
intense earnestness and thoroughness
in everything he did. He said to me
more than once:
my dear boy, do everything at your
best. II you do that neither nor any
one else can find fault with you, even
II you fail. For myself. can honestly
say that i have taken as great pains
with the smallest thing I ever did as
with the biggest"
In giving advice to a young author he
said on one OCCASION:
"If you want your public to believe
In what you write you must believe in

real are my characters to me that on

sue. The character. however, got hold
of me and made me do exactly the op-
posite to what had intended. but
was SO sure that he was right and l

many. For over a century practic.
ly all of the standardized fruits
have been sold at auction in Liverpool
Glasgow and London. Last winter
alone, $50 cars of northwestern ap.
piles were sold at auction in England
despite the war. The prices received
there were better than those received
in the United States through the job
bers' stores. No wonder that the
large receiving apple jobber is op-
posed to the selling of apples at auc-
ton. At the present time the little
jobber who cannot buy in carload
quantities, of whom there are hun
dreds in the United States, and the
brokers and large retailers get their
supplies from the stores of the five or
six big receiving apple jobbers who
are found in each great city. No won
der that most of the little jobbers
do not deal in northwestern box ap-
Piles when they can avoid doing so.
They dislike paying profit to their
rivals and prefer to buy the fruits
of the California and Florida ship
pers and the pine apples Of Cuba and
Porto RIGA and the Almeria grapes
of Spain and the Siciliian lemons,
which are sold through the auctions.
"The apple industry of the north
west has outgrown the system of pri-
vate selling from jobbers' stores.
Several hundred cars last winter
were tramped across the country or
held back in storage too long while
the owners were hunting outlets for
them through jobbers' stores. Fin
ally, in defective condition they
were placed upon the auction as a last
resort. If these apples had been fed
to the great clearing houses in IL or
Is of the largest cities in a systema-
tic manner while they were still in
prime condition, like all of the other
fruits from the Pacific coast are mar
keted, the returns would have been
written in black ink instead Of red.
"The purpose of these lectures is to
gain the support of the grower in
forcing their agents into the use Of
new channels; to force them to break
their connections with the old sys-
tenn which the associations in Florida
and California long ago discarded. I
do not doubt but that the demand
for northwestern apples can be meas
ured two or three fold If the great
clearing houses are used. Also the
selling charges will be cut in twain"

Science 0utdoes Nature In Raising the
Young Fish.
The brook trout is nest builder. but
does not belong to the group of fish
which cares for its eggs and young.
When the function of egg laying is
completed and the nest covered with
gravel the parent fish seem to feel that
their whole duty has been performed.
and they depart. leaving both eggs and
the young when they are hatched to
the care of nature, and nature, it must
be confessed. is generally neglectful Of
her charge
Early in autumn the mature brook
trout in pairs seek the gravelly bot
toms of shoals and spring runs. Here
with nose and fins they hollow out a
shallow basin and make it scrupulously
clean. This is their nest, and over the
bottom the eggs are scattered. covered
with gravel. and their duty to posterity
Is ended.
Only small proportion Of the eggs
deposited naturally are fortified, and
many of these are destroyed by spawn
eating fishes. Most Of the tiny fish
which do develop and succeed in punch
ing hole through the egg shell with
their little tails and emerging into a
watery world do so only to find quick
Judgment In some larger fish.
AS foster parent the trout culturist
Is greater success than Dame Nature.
The latter. under the most favorable
circumstances. rarely succeeds In hatch
ing more than 10 per cent of the eggs
deposited. while the former expects to
develop into wiggling fishes nearly so
per cent Of the eggs obtained.

TO REDUCE COST
SCALE INSPECTION
Secretary Of State Proposes to
Consolidate Several Counties
Under One Inspector

Olympia, Aug. 9-As some of the
counties of the state consider the cost
of maintaining the weights and meas
ures department too large under the
present system, Secretary of State L.
M. Howell, Isl endeavoring to secure
the help of county officials in cutting
down the expense of enforcing the
law. He will ask Auditor L. L. Lynn,
of Benton county and also the board of
county commissioners to cooperate
with him in plan which he has FORM
ulated and which he believes will in
crease the efficiency of the depart
ment as well as reduce the cost Of
operation. He proposes that instead of
having an inspector for each county,
and perhaps having only enough work
to employ him for month of two in
the year, to consolidate adjoining
counties and put the work into the
hands of one man. and in this way a
great saving will be effected, as he
believes it will be possible to cut
down the number of inspectors by
nearly one-half and do away with a
great amount of expense. Secretary
Howell also thinks it would be good
plan to have the weights and meas
ures help the peace officials of the
state by being deputized to look out
for automobiles in the territory under
jurisdiction, thus giving a greater re-
turn for the money spent. BY reduc-
ing the number Of inspectors and pro-
viding for continuous check so that
the dealers would not know when an
inspection was liable to be made, the
secretary believes that the efficiency
of the law would be increased. IF
possible Secretary Howell will also
secure the help of Idaho and Oregon
in eliminating from use Objectionable
makes Of scales which cannot be got
ten rid of without the cooperation of
these states.

Fewer Accidents

The number of accidents in Wash
ington during the month of July to-
tailed LOO, whereas in the same
month last year they numbered 1,217,
according to reports on file with the
state industrial insurance commission.
The falling off in number of accidents
is attributed as due. in a measure to
the fact that many mills and logging
camps have been closed down, as well
as to the fact that greater precau-
tions have been taken to protect the
men from accidents. Since the law
has been in operation 53,79S accidents
have been reported.

PERFUME Of MUSK.
The odor 10 Penetrating Because the
Substance Is Radio active.


The extraordinarily penetrating pow
er Of musk perfume is accounted for
by the fact that it is radioactive. The
United States consul at Chdnking.
China, writes that this property causes
the odor to be carried through the air
in a way that would otherwise be i'm
possible. And he adds that this radio
active property affects most peculiarly
the natives who carry it. If it is held
close to the body for any length OF
time it produces sores that are prOba-
bly, similar in character to those caused
by pure radium."
Musk Is q secretion Of certain glands
or pouches of the male musk deer and
is secreted only during certain seasons
Of the year. 1t is difficult to obtain
pure, and one of the largest French
manufacturers Of perfume keeps rep
resentative at Tachienlu, near the
Tibetan border. for the sole purpose Of
buying 1t.
Three thousand pounds of musk on
an average are shipped every year
from Chunking. and fully half of this
has passed through Tachienlu. which
is one of the principal musk markets Of
the world, though eighteen days jour-
ney from Chunking. the nearest port.
The deer. which are seldom more
than three feet long and twenty to
twenty-five inches tall, are being
slaughtered in such numbers that they
are becoming more and more scarce
and will eventually be extinct.
