Indian Tale of Pillar Rock.

There are Indian tales of the Pillar
rock, which is located about 1000 feet
from the Washington shore, and which
stand about 20 feet from the surface
of the Columbia river, and Of the oc-
currences Whereabouts, real and fanci-
full. One is that Chief Skamokawa,
his ire aroused because a Clatsop
brave made away with the chiefs
daughter, hurled the rock at the de-
parting canoe of the swain from the
tribe across the river, missing the craft
but implanting the huge pillar in mid
stream. The rock extends below the
3O-foot depth, and the base, or projec-
ton, is said to have an approximate
width In excess Of 80 feet.
George Vancouver, following Gray,
the discoverer of the river, spoke of
it in 1892 as "the remarkable pillar
rock" He Is said to have been told
Of the rock by Gray and entered the
river on the way down the coast.

Hancock Station Farm Invites
Farmers In.

How TO farm light soils success
fully will be the demonstration stag
ed at Hancock branch experimental
farm of the Wisconsin Experimental
Station July Is. Farmers in the
soil area of the Badger state are in
vited to meet and visit their expert
mental farm and see the practical re-
suits that are being secured there.
The program as announced by H.
w. Alberto. superintendent of the
farm, includes; alfalfa on sandy soil
fertilizers which insure clover, rota-
tons for light soils, green manuring
crops, and soiling experiments.
This is one of the special Station
Days arranged by the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture at each one
of the station farms to show the far
mers of the state the work being
done.

KNOWN AS PROTESTANT POPE
Sobriquet Bestowed on Clement XIV
When He Suppressed the
Order of Jesuits.

Pope Clement XIV bears the so
briquet of ''the Protestant Pope" al
though he was by no means a mem
Der Of the Protestant faith. He earned
this title by bull which he issued in
1773, ordering the suppression of the
Order of the Jesuits. This seemed to
the devout Catholic concession to
Professionalism, and thus Clement was
given his title.
The Jesuit order was established
In 1887 by Ignatius Loyola, and it's
chief aim was te establish the power
of the pope and to preserve it against
the attacks of the Protestants. It
grew to be the most powerful society
of the Roman Catholic church, gain
Ing it's influence principally through
the excellent schools which it's mem
bers founded and maintained. It's
potency grew to such an extent that
the temporal authorities took alarm
and, in 1873, France, Spain, Portugal,
Parma, Naples and Austria prevailed
upon Pope Clement to issue his bull
abolishing the order. It was re-es-
tablished by Pope Plus VII Immediate
ly after the fall Of Napoleon in 1915,
and is now in thriving condition In
all countries where the Roman church
has adherents. The order has been
distinguished throughout it's exist
ence for the great learning and schol-
arship possessed by it's members.

"Washinq Ones SoiIed Linen"

The phrase, washing ones soiled
linen,' is popularity used to express
airing of unpleasant private affairs
or family quarrels in public, the anal
ogy being, Of course, that both are
matters for disposition in the privacy
Of ones home.
The expression comes down to us
as one of the brain children OF Vol
taire, the famous French satirist. The
occasion for its origin Is said to have
taken place in 1740, when General
Maustein wrote to Voltaire asking to
be INDICATED publicly Of accusations
made against him.
Voltaire happened to be occupied
In answering the appeal Of Frederick
Of Prussia to help him straighten out
one of his dilemmas. So he replied
to Maustein:
'"rhe king has sent me some OF
his dirty linen to wash. I will wash
yours another time"

DECREED REST FROM LABOR
Saxon Monarch, Thousand Years
Ago, Instituted Custom Of Satur-
day Half Holiday.

A thousand years ago the Saxon
King Edgar proclaimed a rest from
all labor from the noon Of Saturday
till the dawn of Monday, and the same
principle was emphasized by his sue
cessors.
The church was in those days the
dominant factor in all social life, and
the Saturday to- Monday ordinance was
doubtless at first intended to give the
people full opportunities for going to
church. Round the village church, too,
gradually sprang up the Saturday mar
ket for the oottagers, and so, though
slowly, the Saturday holy day evolved
into a holiday.
With the change from agriculture to
industrialism, people left the villages
for the towns, and here for some time
the Saturday half-holiday was endan-
gered in the rush and greed of the
new-found and little understood "prog-
ress." A saner and more moderate
outlook, however, restored the Satur-
day half-holiday. But, curiously
enough, the towns claimed it as new
invention of their own, ignoring the
village life which, long centuries back,
knew as legal right the weekly half
holiday Of the Saturday.

from visible results.
Mr.. Liddle has not only taken
pains to show farmers what their
soils need, but he has set about sup
plying the lime required at a mini
mum cost.
That scientific farmer, the county
agent, is the missionary Of better ag-
riculture who drives up and down
the highways of his county seeking
to point the way to better things.
How great is the progress from the
time when farming was supposed to
be taught through printed bulletins
to the stage when the farm teacher
visits every mans place and points
out to him the best methods.
Most of us do not appreciate the
work and worth of these county
agents and many farmers are not
making use of their knowledge and
experience as they should. Their
Indifference sets their farms back
ward and causes wrinkles in their
pocketbooks.

Example Of Ne7p Farming

For many decades Wisconsin far
mers relied upon clover crops and
barnyard manures for their fertiliz-
ers, but the policy of enriching all
farms alike is undergoing rapid
change. In Monroe county, for in
stance, the county agent has found
that SO per cent of the farms need
lime. The county will now import
lime in large quantities and two
crushers will be put to work.
This is an excellent example of the
newer scientific farming and of the
efficiency of the county agent. On
the basis that "seeing is believing"
the county agent, Earl Liddle, tested
out 800 farms in all parts of the
county and found that almost with
out exception they needed lime.
Then he proceeded to establish Is
demonstration fields in different soil
formations of the county. Now
every farmer has at his front door
the convincing evidence that comes

WERE SYMBOLS OF CREATION
Among Ancient Egyptians the Beetle
Was Believed to Be the Form
of the Sun God.

A scarab is the representation of
the sacred beetle found on Egyptian
gems, coins, mummies, obeliSks and
works Of art. The appearance and
rapid multiplication Of beetles in the
mud left ON the subsistence of the
spontaneous generation. and they be-
came the symbol of creation and crea-
tive power. In their circular shape
and the bright golden tints Of their
wing cases they were thought to re-
semble the shape and Iuster of the
sun and thus were taken to be the
forms in which the sun god appeared.
Scarabs were cut in stones and en-
ployed as seals and amulets. They
were bored through their length so
that they could be strung like beads.
After the commingling of the Egyptian
with other races, agnostics and Chris
tians interpreted the meaning Of these
gems in accordance with their own
beliefs. Those of the most ancient
period, such as are found on mummies,
are inscribed with the names of the
kings held in highest veneration,
Thutmosis III, Rameses II and Ameno-
phis III, and frequently with some
hieroglyphic symbol. The larger of
them have some short religious or
historic inscription on their under
side.

Makeup of Human Body.

One reason why milk is so excel
lent a food is that it contains much
calcium, which is the principal miner
al of the human body, contributing to
the makeup Of the bones and teeth.
A grown person carries in his skele-
ton about four pounds of it, says an
exchange. The body contains about
three ounces of sodium, combined
with chlorine to form common salt.
There are also about two ounces Of
magnesium, which is a silvery-white
metal. Another highly infiammable
metal contained in the body is potas-
sium-about two and one-half ounces
of it. The body contains about 50
ounces Of phosphorus. Seven-eighths
of the phosphorus is in the bones
(going to form phosphate Of lime);
half an ounce is in the brain tissues
the rest is in the red corpuscles of
the blood. OF sulphur there are
about four ounces in the bones and
teeth. The body is three-ffths water
and one-fifth carbon.

badly out of order, too. 1 was final

HIGH VALUE OF SAND BATHS
From Findings Of Danish Medical
Men, 1t Would Seem Their lmpor-
lance Is Underestlmated.

From the earliest history Of man
to relieve bone and joint disease, es-
pecfally govt and rheumatism. Faber
and Plum, in a Danish medical jour-
nal, tabulate the findings during and
after the sand bath in a number Of
cases as regards the pulse, respiration.
temperature at different points of the
body and the blood pressure, urine
and changes in weight as well as the
effect on the pathologic condition.
Their conclusions are to the, effect
that the hot sand bath seems to COM
bine with the benefit from the heat
reducing pain and stimulating local
circulation-a direct action on the
muscles from the weight Of the sand.
This relaxes the muscle and tends to
break UP the various circles Of pain and
muscle contraction. This relaxing eff
feet on the muscles from the sheer
weight of the sand has been over
looked before, they think, but they
regard 1t as an important factor In
the effect, promoting resorptlon as
well as combating the possibly unsus-
pected hypertonia in the muscles. An
other advantage of sand baths Is that
they can be graduated with precision
to fit conditions In the weakest. The
only CONGRATULATIONS are febrile dis
eases, valvular defects, great instability
Of the circulation, and possibly anemia

GAVE WORLD rUWtR ~ HUME
conquering Legions Carried the Eagles
to Victory in Practically Every
Known Land.

In the early days of it's history the
republic of ROME consisted of a city,
but wars of conquest extended its
dominion over the whole Italian PEN
insula. For centuries only the citi-
zens Of Rome had vote in the cleo
ton Of the ruler. The republic was
conquering state, and extended RO-
man power as far north and west as
Spain, the British isles, Belgium, and
Germany, and as far east as the Black
sea. At first the army consisted of q
levy of citizens. AS Rome came to
need more than one army at once and
warfare grew more complex a stand
largely because Of it's superior equip
ment and discipline that the armies
of the barbarians, often superior in
numbers, were defeated and crushed.
The unit of the Roman army of that
time was the legio, translated into
English, the legion. 1t correspondent to
a regiment in our army but was much
larger, for a Roman legion contained
from 1000 to 5000 men. They were
heavy infantry with some cavalry. The
legions comprised the first-class troops,
while the auxilia, or auxiliaries, were
the troops of the second class.
At the time Of the death of the first
emperor, Augustus, in the year IA A.
D., the Roman army consisted Of %
such leglons. This heavy infantry lost
much of its Importance when the bar
barian invasions altered the character
of ancient warfare and made cavalry
more important arm, than infantry in
the late Third and the Fourth CEN
turtles.
The word legion came to express
any large number with the accessory
ideas of order and subordinatiop.

Late Letter Mailers FINED.

In England century ago fines were
assessed FOR late mailing Of letters
Unless letters were mailed In London
before four o'clock fee of penny
for each one had to be paid to the
beIlman who collected the late mail.
The postman was an important per-
sonage In those days. He was all done
up in red, white and blue, scarlet coat,
blue breeches, white stockings, with q
great cockade In his hat.
Those who chose to carry letters
to the general post office could do so,
but If they wished to have letters re-
ceived after certain time no less
than sixpence must be paid. It was
usual for postage to be collected from
the person who received letter.

Wise Animals.

A polar bear in a geological park
used to sit on rocky peninsula that
ran out into a water-filled quarry.
Visitors were In the habit Of throw
ing buns into the water and some Of
them fioated on the surface. It was
often easy for the bear to collect half
a dozen by plunging into the pool, but
he soon discovered a more interesting
way to get them. At the edge Of the
peninsula it scooped the water gently
with it's huge paw and made current
that brought the buns ashore.
An elephant In another garden used
to collect pennies from visitors. When
it got penny In It's trunk It put 1t In

which delivered up a biscuit. The an
imal rejected every other coin.

Uncle johnny Shell, 1874, Oldest
Man in World, Dies.

Uncle Johnny" Shell, reported to
have been 134 years ond, said to
have been the oldest man in the
world, died at his home at Greasy
Creek, Letcher county, Kentucky,
July 6, according to reports here
Monday.
Disciple of Irregularity
"Uncle Johnny Shell was a dis
ciple Of irregularity. In fact, there
was only one thing which he did with
absolute regularity. Every morning,
as soon as he was awake, he took
swallow of corn whisky. This prac-
tice he continued to the day of his
death. In all other things, Uncle
Johnny did what the moment seemed
to call for.
His irregular way of living is what
kept him alive so long, according to
DR.. I. l.. Nascher, New York city.
DR.. Nascher visited Uncle John a.
bout two years ago, examined him
thoroughly and tested his mentality.
"There is nothing in the life of
John She'll" the doctor wrote, ''that
would account for his longevity, I'M
less it be rugged constitution hard
ened by exposure and privations, and
no fixed habits. Most of us lead
regular lives, our activities, food,
sleep, work, recreations, being reg
ulated by the clock. We become
creatures of habit and any divation
from the accustomed routine causes
some disarrangement either in ana
tomical structure or functional &C
tivity."
Shell was not affected by any
change in living conditions because
he had never become habituated to
anything except his much-loved
Kentucky "moonshine," and that he
had always been able to obtain.
DR.. Nascher also discovered that
the story or his great age was some
what exaggerated and declared that
he was probably only a, little more
than 10.
The story which placed his age at
more than 100 was invented at the
time some enterprising promoters
took the old man on tour as .sthe
Oldest man in the world.'' This tour
which lasted several months, was
very bad for the old mans health,
since he was unaccustomed to the
glare and hustle of the sideshow life.
Uncle Johnny has always been
married-as far back as he can re-
member. His first wife died many
years ago. His widow is not yet 40.
His eldest son is 90 and his young
est is Z. Uncle Johnny could not
recall exactly how many there may
have been between.
