EDil Spirits Knocked
to Aid DeUil- Doctor

A cadaverous-looking individual,
clothed in a variety of col0rs, seat
ed in the shade of tree surround
ed by low jungle and numberless
heaps of house refuse such is the
devil-doctor of Ceylon. His para
phernaIia consists of handful of
flowers, invariably red, a tuft of
human hair, a few drops of blood,
some betel leaves, a small hand
mirror, and, lastly, his all-power-
full book Of charms.
This dissimilar and uncanny col
lection placed In front of him on
a trellised framework, he begins
his incantations to all the devils
and spirits in pandemonium.
From time to time he peeps into
the book, probably to revive his
memory. His communion with the
powers of darkness ended, he gets
up with self-satisfied smile, con-
signs the precious heap before him,
except the mirror, into the nearest
bush, and enters the patients
house to communicate to the anx-
ious relatives the oracle, which In
almost all cases is favorable one,
but the obstinate patient falsiffes
the prophecy by Joining the ma
j0rity.

Early Tobacco Users
H0d Weed Sruoess,red

In the early Sixteenth century,
q few adventurous Spaniards dis
covered to their amaZement that
the habit of chewing tobacco was
generally prevalent among the In
dian tribes in the New world. The
chewing tobacco was apparently in
cake form, but whether originally
favored or not is not known. In
the middle of the Sixteenth CEN
fury in England, form of chew
ing and smoking tobacco, known as
the "carrotte," was in use. The
cake was about ten inches long,
three inches thick. and was sweet
ened with treacle. The chewing
and smoking tobacco when not in
cake form was made into a long
roll or large ball. and often an
swered for the tobacconist's sign.
Smokers carried with one of these
rolls a knife and finder to ignite
their roll. The manufacture of to-
bacco in England commenced with
"cake tobacco"-pudding, roll and
twist. This was hard tobacco
and could be sliced off for chewing
or smoking as desired. This was
In 1865; later the loose tobacco
for smoking and chewing came into
fashion.-Hendrix Van Doom in the
Smokers Companion Magazine.

Walla Walla men are probably
more keenly interested in the de-
velopment of the fields than are
those of any other city, due to its
proximity to trading radius and
relative strength that would be

lunged enterprise similar to that

The two new courses started

seem to have filled a need felt by
the students, for Supt. w. G.
Hodge reports that both are filled
to capacity. A general course in
agriculture and special course in
farm engineering are the two new
classes and both have a full en-
rollment. This is the first year
either of these subjects has been
taught herr and judging from the
interest beng displayed at present
they will be permanent classes
from now on. g..
The enrolment in the schools
as a whole is fully up to that ex-
pected by Mr.. Hodge. At present
the number of pupils is a little
better than normal tho as a usual
thing there are about twenty-five
more pupils in the lower grades at
this Lime of the year than are now
attending! Mr.. Hodge states that
this number is made up of the

Then Look at Your Watch

To tell time by the stars, ex-
plains an Iowa professor, first
look at the North star and the two
points in the Great Dipper which
are on a line with it. Imagine
that in the sky there is huge
clock face with the hour hand
pointing to these pointers. Read
the time to the nearest quarter
hour. To this figure add the num-
Der of months since January 1.
Double this and subtract the re-
suit from 1914. If the result is
more than 1914, subtract it from
40A. The result is the time in
hours, after noon. If the time is
greater than IL, it means that it is
after midnight. so subtract IL and
you have the time in hours. the
forenoon.
AS regards. the day, of course,
by the time you have done this it
will be the middle of next week.
