In Old New York.

Chelsea, in the neighborhood of
Twenty-tfiird street and North river,
New York city, was the home Of Gle
ment c. Moore, who wrote the child
hood classic, Twas the Night Before
Christmas" One of the admirable
old houses of Chelsea is that where
dwelt Edwin Forrest, the actor. 1t is
at 436 West Twenty-second street, a
substantial-loOking square fronted
house, with a door of a great single
panel. On the spot where the New
York city hall stands, George Wash
ington paraded his little army on a
July day in 1776, and with grave
sOlemnity q document was read to
them that had just been received from
Philadelphia, and which was forever
to be known as the Declaration of In.

Sheep Raising Industry

Sheep raising is perhaps &c Oldest
Of all Industries for it was practiced
even before agriculture. Wool is a
product of cultivation or domestica-
ton, for there are no wild animals
which closely resemble the wool bear
ing sheep. Floyd W. Parsons, in the
Saturday Evening Post, says that with
the discovery that cloth could be made
from wool came an effort to improve
the fleece by selection and breeding.
The early Romans were most success
full In this pursuit, and their endeav-
ors along this line resulted in develop
ing fleece of great fineness. After
the conquest Of the Iberian peninsula
Roman sheep were introduced into
Spain, where they so greatly improved
the native flocks that even during RO-
man supremacy Spanish wool led the
worlds markets, a prestige held fer
many centuries.

CREDITS TREES WITH SENSE
Scientist Declares They Possess at
Least Three Which Also Belong
to Human Race.

The curator of the British Guiana
museum, James Roadway, who is an
eminent botanist, declares that plants
possess at least three of our FIVE
senses-feeling, taste and shetland
that certain tropical trees smell water
from distance, and will move
straight toward it.
But trees not in the tropics can do
as well. A resident of an old Scotch
mansion found the waste pipe from
the house repeatedly choked. Lift
ing the slabs in the basement paw
ing, he discovered that the pipe was
completely encircled by poplar roots.
They belonged to tree that grew
some thirty yards away on the oppo-
site side of the house.
Thus the roots had moved steadily
toward the house, and had penetrated
below the foundation and across the
basement until they reached their
geal, the waste pipe, 80 feet away.
Then they had pierced cement join
ing and had worked Aeir way n
long, taperiRg lengths inside the pipe
fer considerable distance beyond
the house There seems something AL
msst human in such anerring instinct
and perseverance In surrounding OBJ
stacles.-New York Post.

TeItale Faces.

"Nature seems to decide in advance,
by face and gesture, what many people
are best fitted for" That is the theory
Of DR.. Henry Chellew, who holds that
by studying the faces Of children, par
ents and teachers may obtain valuable
guidance as to their future careers.
The following list is brief summary
Of some of his deductions: Triangular

UnrOmantic, strenuous, eats little /;
thinks much. Feels little, sleeps little.
Usually makes good accountant or en-
gineer. Round full Accidentally

RESEMBLES THE HUMAN HAND
Skin Of Bats Wing Stretches From
the Finger Tips to Ends of
Toes and Nails.

The wing of bat is a most wonder
ful instance of adaptation to a special
end, for it is nothing but a greatly
modified fOrelimb or hand.
If you spread out your hand and i'm
agine the four fingers grown enormous
ly long, while the thumb remains short
and stumpy and that the skin between
the fingers has also been stretched I'M
til 1t extends from tip to tip of the
fingers and on along tie side of the
body to join the hind foot, you will
have a good idea Of the structure of a
bats wing; 1t is simply a much exag-
gerated hand.
The elongated bones serve, like the
ribs Of an umbrella, TO keep the skin
stretched aad taut when the owner
is in flight.
When the bat alights ii doubles up
its hands" the skin falls in wrinkly
folds and using its thumb joints as
forefeet ii is able 10 run about almost
as quickly as a mouse.
The skin of the wings not only joins
the hind limbs but extends from them
10 the tail, thus making the rudder
with which the bat can steer when fly
ing, and, when the tail is brought up
beneath the body, forms a bag or re-
ceptable which is of use to its owner.

HELPING ONESELF.
Person Has Got to Be Able to Dt
Several Different Things Well.

Under modern life division of la
Tor has been carried to very
great extreme. Many people have
reached the point where they can do
Just one line Of work, and are, help
less for anything else. If door or a
window blind gets out of order, they
can not mend it themselves but have
to send for a carpenter.
That might do in times when
labor was cheap and abundant. But
under present conditions. it is a
costly proposition. Also labor is
scarce and in many cases you can't
get it.
A person can not under Present
conditions expect to devote himself
TO his own trade and calling ex-
clusively, and never touch any little
task belonging TO something else.
People must become more resource.
full and able to turn their hands to
anything. 1t was that way in the
old time household. In those days,
if lock got out of order, people did
not expect to send to the nearest
locksmith. The handy man about the
house fixed it himself, and he called
in outside help only in great emer-
gencies.
Today many people who feel the
high cost of paper hanging and
staining and painting of floors and
wood work, are laying the paper and
spreading the paint themselves. Oc-

Dimensions of a Million.

A way Of realizing the meaning Of
a million, almost as good as counting
chestnut blossoms, is to think of what
1t means in time. Few people real
lie that there are less than a million
days in the whole Christian era; in
fact, If we count back a million days
from 1920 we come to a date we'll be-
fore the founding of Rome, while a
million hours would take us back al
most to the battle of Trafalgar.

ELMORE CANNERY
BURNS AT WALDPORT

| midnight by the burning of the Elmore
cannery, which started and was ull
atlame almosI. in an instant. The res
idence also burned to the ground, man
aber G. r. Dobbins and family having
n narrow escape. as when they first
saw the fire it had already burned thru
the walls of the house and was burning
inside. The fire was so suddenly
started that they had no chance to
save any of their household goods.
The cannery was total loss; the pack
of berries and beans which were stor-
ed in it were also lost; the boats which
were anchored BY the cannery were all
that were saved. The blaze lighted up
the country for miles around. This is
a bad loss for this community as the
plant not only canned fish but fruits
and vegetables, employing many hands
and furnishing good market for the
produce. 1t is not learned as to
whe her it will be rebuilt or not.
The hunting season is now on and

fortnight and will be logging by the
first of the year. This means much
