With woman** suffrage and the movement for natn :utl prohibition If appears that, Mm life of a eongcesn- nmn-'And Btmulo** in Washington will beBimthu’ to what members of various state legislators have ex­ perienced. Uncle Sam has figured out that the death.rate during the past year ha* been JS.9 per thousand popu­ lation. This is less, thanHa 1911 when the rate was 14,Si per thousand. Of the larger cities Seattle is the most healthful ami while Albany, IS* Y», has the largest death rate, Progrvw...* party has set a pace that vkiii Jong keep it before the people. Tt « Prohibition party ha* never mm at an election but its due issue has kept It alive for years. No political party is going to go out-of existence when such declaration of principles are to be fought for Another reason why we are glad ti»« JPrugrew.v, $ have taker, tide step is that the Republican' party is almost vjtkin the grasp at the present time ot the liquor interests wim are endeavoring to nominate a governor and legislature that will repeal drastic provisions o f the lieensa and local option laws in be­ half of the cities and much to tbs detriment of the rural districts. Temperance Republicans may be­ come more alert and see that there party is not to be made the tool of demoralising Interests for financial gam. There is no doubt but that the Retnmvratic party will endorse the license law and insist on lie provisions remaining just as Gover­ nor Cox has insisted they most be enforced. The next campaign in this State is to bo along moral lines. Tariff, schools, tax matters and general legislation will be forgotten when the.voter is face to fatso with selecting candidates for state offices that will stand, by local option Jaws, or-their repeal, that the liquor interests may again coutrol the state as in-former years. , The AllledPrintingTrades Council 6i Cleveland Is urging the passage at this session of the legislature a bill to provide for the amendment of the text book bill for soh Is, It is proposed that novtext book now in use shall, be changed or sub­ stituted prior to 1919 and that in { -June that year and every five years text books shall be adopted and >u> change made other than during the five-great; periods. The idea is to leave each community the right to have wliafe text, books it wants but as a matter o f economy changes only can be made every five years. 'The bill will probably have some support but a state uniform text book bill Ls what the, most people want. Meat (F orm erly C. II.

Professor Jackson shook his head. ' “No, sir,that is not the reason.” Qne, cadet after another essayed an explanaHcm, ” All were mildly rejected.

Finally he came to the concinsiou that “ Ob” must s.tand for obit, the Latin word expressing a death no­ tice,. lie accordingly turned out the. following paragraph, whieh.dniy ap­ peared in print: “ We deeply regret to announce tbe'^eath *t Lincoln of, the celebrated Dean fSwift, the au­ thor of that favorite hymn, ’The Roseate Hues of Early Dawn.’ ” Contested Their Poverty, Amongall the relics that changed ownership in a .Browning sale’ in London the only tilings that could J>ear the name of jewelry were the husband's, not the wife’s—a ring or two, sleeve links, studs andsuch trifles. Mrs. Browning, probably never owned it jewel—a little cheap gold brooch, but nothing more. She •did not live to share her husband's better prosperity, and her own hab­ its asmaid andwife wore frugal. A passage in the letters records the misgivings of the lovers, each of whom.supposed the other to be ac­ customed to some degree oMuxury. At last Browning had the courage to tell Elizabeth that he was ex­ tremely poor, .and she,- delighted, told him that the whole dress site wus wearing cost something very •wnall in shillings. VALUE THE ACORN AS FOOD Mission Indians of California Find Sustenance in and Apparently Enjoy the Nuts. j Among the mission Indians of Cali­ fornia acorn? form a staple article of : food. They gather these industrions- . ly in the, autumn, dry them thoroughly, <in the afm and store them for winter use in huge bins, wUicli hold ten bush- eb or more. These bins are of wick­ er work and look like inverted bas­ kets, Very often they are covered with canvas to protect the contents from rain and -snow and are placed upori elevated platforms to prevent .the dampness of the ground affect-' ,’ing them. - When used for food, purposes the squaws pound the acorn kernels into a coarse-meal. Sometimes they bake this into a cake, but generally it is made into mush; To make 'the mush they first mix It with water so as to form a thin batter. This is boiled •by allowing ■very hot stones to fall into and cook , i t When the stones in the vessel- thave lost their heat they are taken } out with «. long ladle and. are replaced^ i by freshly heated' ones. , When the mixture has been well cooked the howl i* placed on the ground and the. mush allowed to coot. 1The entire family gathers about to ebjoy the feast, and one and all con­ vey the food- to their mouths with the palms of their hands. - Was Herd to PieasS. A good story Is told of Provost Hawkins, an old’ don of Oriel college, ' Oxford, who was never happy unless he could find some fault to criticize In the undergraduates who came be­ fore him, Among other things the record of chapel attendance was al­ ways on Hawldn’s table ready to he referred to for praise or blame, One day .when a student, who was an Oriel man, was before him, the provost consulted the record, “I observe, Mr. .King,” . said he, *'that you have never missed a single chapel, morning or evening, during the whole term.” * He paused, but Instead of a ward" of praise, which might reasonably have been expected, he continued se­ verely! "I must warn you, Mr. King, that evon too regular attendance at chapel- may degenerate Into formalism.”— London Telegraph, Cotfcridg*** CIoudiriB**,' There is in- Mr. Ellis Yarnoll’s icminiaccnces, “ Wordsworth and (lie Coleridges,” a very amusing -tory of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, whose thoughts were sometimes too profound even for poets to follow. -Wordsworth and Samuel Rogers had spent the evening with Cole­ ridge, and as the two poets walked iway together Rogers remarked ‘luitiously: “ f did not altogether understand the latter part of what Coleridge “ I didn’t understand any of it,” Wordsworth hastily replied. “ No more did 11” exclaimed Rog­ ers, with a sigh of relief.

This bird be- , longed to the younger Pitt, who pre- I sented it to George II., from whom it i passed in turn to George IV., William IV, and Queen Victoria, who present* ed It to her daughter-in-law, the prin­ cess of Wales. All parrots are long- lived, and if they could only speak with Intelligence what reminiscences, this royal bird could have given— from the time It first looked knowing­ ly at Pitt, learned how to imitate the Invariable "What?
