"FIying Dutchman" Leuend.

The legend of the Flying Dutchman
is Of a Dutch skipper who, in the
early part Of the Seventeenth CEN
fury, was trying to round the Cape
OF Good Hope in the teeth of a sue
cession Of heavy gales, against which
his clumsy craft was unable to beat
to Windward and gain any way. This
Dutch skipper is said to have bias
phemously defied the Almighty to keep
him from rounding the cape, and de-
clared that he would keep at it, in
spite of heaven and hell, until he made
it. He was taken at his word, and is
supposed to be still at it. Imaginative
sailormen of bygone years, when en-
countering the common occurrence of
heavy weather off the cape and head
wind, used to imagine that out of the
mist they could see the galiot Of the
Flying Dutchman, with it's dauntless
captain standing on her high poop
AID shaking his fist at the stormy
sky. It is quite safe to say that the
Flying Dutchman has not appeared a
great deal Of recent years. In fact,
few modern seamen have ever heard

green are the colOrs undistinguishable

Greenleaf Whittier, who would not de-
part from Quaker garb, appearing at
a reception in bright vermilion

i In the world today there are 2S,4SS
ocean-going steamships of 500 tons or
more. Could they be gathered to-
gether in one vast harbor-it would
require more than 1000 square miles
of navigable water-and if they could
be dispatched at the speed Of ten miles

Sarcasm Is Not Wit.

Native Wit loses nothing when it is
tempered by courtesy. a smart girl
whose speech has never been gov
erncd by restraint is liable to degen-
crate into that social terror, the
"lemon,' whose every comment is like
biting acid. There are rare occasions
when sarcasm is as needful as a sur
geon's lance, but who wants to be Op-
Grated on unnecessarily? Miss
O'Byrne could use her tongue with
telling effects there an Irish woman
who cannot?-but her cutting phrases
were reserved for the cruel and the
false" There, in Douglas Goldring's
graphic phrasing, is a portrait Of the
bOrn-clever gentlewoman who never
uses her weapon Of wit unfairly and
discourteously.

"Comforts" Of Colonial DAYS,

In 1742 Benjamin Franklin brought
out his New Pennsylvania Fireplace"
rather complicated affair, in which
both coal and wood could be used,
and which in it's later development
grew into what is known as the
''Franklin stove" AS the bedrooms
of the colonists were freezing cold in
winter, warming pan was used t."
heat up the bed before getting into
it at night. The warming pan was
round and a foot wide and four or
five inches deep, with perforated
metal top and long wooden handle.
This was filled with Goals from the
fireplace and placed between the bed
linen and moved about rapidly. Wood
was very plentiful and was used quite
freely, the immense t1replaces consum-
ing vast quantities Of it.

Postman's Whistle Outlets.

There are few hours in the day
when a New York apartment house is
free from noise, remarks the Sun, Of
that city. Pianos and monographs
and music lessons and ordinary hui
man racket contribute to the volume
of sound that floats through the build
ing. But there are few moments in
every day when absolute silence
reigns, a silence brought by the shrill
whistle Of the postman. Just as sure
ly as the traffic policeman's whistle
stops the stream Of traffic does the
postmans whistle stop the ordinary
noises Of the day. All in the building
listen intently in the hope that their
own names will be called out. The
postman departs the temporary
quiet ceases.

"DooMED TO sPNsTERHoop."

T 1OO"ED ~ SPINS Eh7OO0s"
The Berlin correspondent informs us
that '25, 100000 women In Europe are
doomed to lifelong spinsterhood."
Well, there are many of the 25,OOO,OOO
who will affirm that they do mot con-
slider spinsterhood a "doom." Many
women do not get married because
they do not want to, and not because
they never have a ''chance." Looking
at the figures presented by the Berlin
man we find that he estimates the
male population Of Europe, adults
alone considered, at 224,225,OOO, and
the female population at 25O,0OO,0OO.
Before the World war there were 1893
women in Europe to every 1000 men !;
now the ratio is ILL women to every
1000 men. But when we analyze the
figures the plight of these women
doomed to spinsterhood'' is not so
bad, says the Louisville Post. There
is great surplus of women in Russia.
But do Russian women want to get
married? Those that do are not very
wise. In England and France and
Germany the surplus women are nu-
merous, but about as many male
children as female are being born, and
the ratio will right itself in time.

ROMANS BELIEVED IN SIGNS

When they wanted to know wheth-
er to do this thing or that, the an
cient Romans tried to find out 1.-The
signs Some persons looked at
birds flying overhead Others cut up
animals, to see what "signs' were in
side. Perhaps most interesting Of
all was the custom Of keeping certain
chickens and calling them sacred. II
someone wanted to know if a plan
would succeed he tried to feel out
the chickens. If they ate heartily, it
was good sign If they refused to
eat, the plan was probably given up.
When Roman died, food and drink
were placed beside his body in the
tomb. Animals were sacrificed, and
milk Or wine was thrown on the
ground This was repeated every
year. If the relatives forgot, the
soul was supposed to become evil and
to bring bad luck, says the Detroit
News. Animals were sacrificed in

were the creatures most often killed.
Flour and salt were sprinkled over
each animal. Its head was covered
with cloths, and then the priest raised

those looking on. The bones and fat
were placed on the altar and burned

GOOD MEMS FOR THE ORCHARD
IST AND TRUCK GROWERS
OF THIS DISTRICT

TheOregon Agriculture expert
ment stations have been carrying on
q series Of experiments covering a
period of the past several years in an
fort TO determine II possible Why the
deficient growth in fruit tree, fruit
and vegetables and have determined
without doubt that the cause OF the
small growth, light Yields and mall
sizes in fruits is the lack of Nitrates
in available form in tho soils. and
that the cause OF the small inferior
quality of the vegetables is the lack
OF Nltrates, Phosphates and Potash
available. With the aid of Swift 4
Company, the largest fertilizer man
ufacturers in the northwest, they
have worked out a get of formula s
suited to the needs of every Erowing
crop in this section, and the results
obtained by their use has been In
creaeed production and improved
quality. The Oregon experiment
station bulletin No. l1s records ex-
perlments wherein the fertiliged
orchard plots produced an increase
of 3&3 %, and in one instance Al
per cent more than the unfsrt1ed
