None of the students knew what
was coming and so had no chance to
study for the examination, OF course
here 1t was given by the teachers
themselves, while in Portland it was
given by the committee. This would
make some difference, but, on the
whole, it appears Ashland should be
proud of the work which this shows
is being carried on in our schools.

PlimeoIPs Mark.

Any sailor will tell you that the plimsoll k . conspicuous mark on the hull of a vessel, usually an oval or eclipse of white paint with an arrow drawn through 1t to indicate the ex- treme water line when the ship has been loaded. As long as the plimsoll mark shows above the water the bur den of freight in the ships hold is not too great for her carrying capacity. The curious word is the badge of i'm mortality of philanthropist, Samuel Pfmsoll, who was born in Bristol, England, in 1924. When he went into the coal business he learned of the hor- rible conditions under which the men of the British merchant marine had to work. Owners figured that it was cheaper to lose an occasional ship with all on board than to restrict the load and make the voyage reasonably safe. In order to thwart this rapacity Pltm- soil entered parliament in 1s6S His persistent work resulted in the pass age of the merchant shipping act" in 1876 to prevent ships from going to sea in an unsafe condition.

PROFESSOR SAYS
 ENCL|SHMEN ARE
 GETTING THINNER
Spare, Lean, Acquiline Men May Be Expected in Flu
 ture Says Keith.

London, Oct. 5-Is the national English type becoming thinner then it used to be? Professor Keith. before the British Association at Newcastle, said that John Bull is reflec tMg in his physical being something of the lean ness of war-times.
 Professor Keith told the Association that the face of the typical English man is becoming longer and thinner. London is now full of Colonial soldiers -bronzed, spare, lean, acquiline and with prominent cheekbones, and the speaker infers that the English type in the future will come nearer in their faces to approximating these visitors than the bluff, country squire, John Bull.
 It is pointed out that the typical "City Man. or financial district busi- ness man is perceptibly thinner than was his father. The Farmer has lost his promptness. The retired army of icer is sparer figure. Even the country squire-the last survival of the now fast-disappearing England bears a close resemblance to Don Quixote than to John Bull.

and found that he was using the banks money in investments that she regarded as ticklish. Besides, there had been deals in which she thought she had cause to make Huntington sit up and take particular notice of her. She appeared before an officer of the bank, Mir. Stewart, and said:
 ''Id like my money right away-not in checks; in cash, please"
 "Is there no other way, Mrs. Green?" he asked, beginning to perspire.
 "None," said she. Cash, please"
 She got it-after a scurrying of many bank messengers all kinds of money and in such bulk that four messengers had to carry it for her, the while the rumor got out that Hunting ton was going to smash. As matter of fact he did have a narrow escape New York World.

These three sports, notably baseball, are played in every nook and corner of the Islands. Golf is new game for the Filipinos.

Sawse SaWse.

Here is the old King Richard II. way of making sausage: "Pyggs in sawse sawgc," or pigs with sage sauce. "Take pyggs yskaldid (scald- ed) and quarter them and seeth them in water and salt; take them and let them kele (cooD; take parsel (parsley). sawge (sage) and grynde it with brede and yolles of ayren (eggs) harde ysode (boiled; temper it with vinegar some what thick, and lay the pyggs in a vessel and sewe onoward the sauce over them), and serve it forth" 'Take pygg" is pretty good. Size or number seems of no consequence.

No Huak and Ia Perfact.

Don't expect all the virtues in one man. If he is good natured he may be lazy; if he is scholarly he may be cold, if he is thrifty he may be stingy; if he is generous he may be wasteful; if he is smooth he may be deceitful. The man who charms you with his immacu- late appearance is likely to be some thing of an old maid; the man who is careful to pick threads off your skirt is prone to pick flaws in you; the man who takes an undue interest in the se- lection of your hats may take an undue interest in the bill which comes home; the man who before marriage jumps to open the door, lest your fingers be contaminated by the knob, may after marriage allow those same fingers to be contaminated by the washboard.- Woman's Home Companion.

Uses of Poverty.

Poverty has spurred to splendid
achievement many a youth who,
reared in luxury and endowed with a
fortune, would have accomplished
nothing. The man who has made
some costly sacrifice for love or dutys
sake, or opposed a dauntless front to
affections concerning which the only
choice was as to the spirit in which
they should be met and borne, is Of
ten happier than another whose recti-
tude imposed no hardships, or who has
never been called upon to battle with
adversely The woman whose pres
ence in sick room is a better. tonic
than any which the physician pre-
scribes, whom little children love, and
to whom young girls go with their
perpleXities, is frequently the one who
years ago buried all personal ambi-
ton in the grave of husband or child,
wrestled with her sorrow, conquered
it, and learned thereafter to live in
the Joy of other lives.

DREAD THE "SNEAK CURRENT"
pening Which Means Immediate
and Fearful Disaster.

One of the most dreaded risks in
the use of electricity for power pur
poses is the sneak current, which
may be compared to a leakage in a
gas main Only it is far more danger
Gus, because you can smell escaping
gas, whereas you cannot smell cleo
tricity. One of the earliest warnings
of the existence of this new kind Of
hidden peril occurred at the electricity
works Of the Manchester (Eng.) corpo-
ration on September 18th, 1899. In the
engine room of the power house at the
time no fewer than fourteen engines,
each of 400 horse power, were working
at full pressure. BY some unexplained
means a sneak current reached and
fused the copper rivets which held to-
gether the two ends of leathern belt
connecting one of these engines with
a dynamo. The result was that the
belt parted, the released fywheel start
ed revolving with terrific speed, and
presently few to pieces. These. bur:

KILLED SEEKING TO ESCAPE
crate Raider, Ended His Long
Series of Forays.

In December, 1868, Longstreet, who
had been conducting an active cam
paign in Tennessee, returned into Vir-
ginia, leaving the noted guerrilla, Col
John II. Morgan, to carry on the strug-
gle in East Tennessee. December 20
there was fight between General
Sturgis and Morgan-the latter having
an army of about 6.000-near New
Market, in which Morgan was defeat
ed. In another fight January 16, 1864,
Morgan made the attack and Sturgis
was driven back to strawberry Plains.
Morgan fingered in East Tennessee
until May, and late in the month, with
small band OF men, he went over the
mountains and raided through eastern
Kentucky, plundering the wealthy dis
trict as he went through. He cap
tured several small towns, dashed into
Lexington, burning the railway sta
ton and other property there, and hur-
ried on to Frankfort. But General
Burbrldge was in pursuit, and came
up with Morgan's men near Cynthiana,
and in the fight which followed, Nor
gan lost 200 in killed and wounded, 400
prisoners, and 1000 horses captured.
Morgan now retreated into East Ten
nessee. In September he had his force
at Greenville, and Morgan himself
| and his staff were at the house of a
Mrs. Williams. General Gilem, with
troops, surrounded the house, and
Morgan was killed while trying to es-
cape. His body was sent through the
| lines by a flag Of truce, and was bur
led with imposing ceremonies at Alb
ingdon, Va.
