BETWEEN BULL AND BEAR
FARMER HAS HARD FIGHT
KNIGHT’S FERRY, Ore., April 10
Blacksmith Sam Baug-.t has had a lit
tle Wall street experience, but nev
ertheless has learned to eschew the
bulls and bears. He went to Post
master Collins’ corral to look at the
new Collins bull, forgetting to doff
his red shirt. When the bull charged
at his shirt, Baugh ducked into a
cave on the river bank, only to
scramble out again. The bull charg
ed again, and he dived back into
the grotto, and then back and forth
on several round trips.
“Stay in!” yelled Collins from a
tree.
“Won’t; there’s a bear inside.”
Finally, watching his chance, Baugh
grabbed the bull by the tail and threw
him. Later the men invaded the cave
with guns and got a mother bear
and two cubs.

THE FIRST TROUSERS.
They Were Worn Skin Tight end Led
Men to Pad Their Lege.
The advent of the silk hat led to the
Introduction of trousers. Knee breech
es and silk stockings did not corre
spond with stovepipe hats. Try them
now and see if you think they do. So
reformers set themselves to work to
devise some nether garments congru
ous with the new headpiece.
The result was trousers. There had,
It Is true, been some precursors of
those inimitable garments. The Turk
had worn voluminous twin bags on his
legs, gathered and tied, bag fashion,
at the ankles. The Cossacks, too, had
found such things more convenient for
horseback riding than any other garb,
and “pantaloons” were used in armies,
especially by the French. But none of
these nor any other garment that was
worn prior to 1810 could be described
as genuine trousers.
Tbe first trousers worn in London
were of plain, light colored cloth, and
fitted very tightly; almost ns tight, wo
may believe, ns those in this country
a generation ago. In the second sea
son striped and other figured cloths
were used by some, but such trousers
were regarded as quite plebeian and tit
for wearing only in bad weather when
the streets were muddy, or as a sort of
rough outing garb at the seaside. A
favorite material for trousers worn by
men of fashion was an elastic stock
inet. which fitted literally “skin tight.”
Beneath such garments, to supply the
deficiencies of nature, men were not
averse to wearing false calves and
other paddings on their legs. Straps
passing beneath the foot were used to
keep the trouser legs held down in
place.—Kxchnnge.
DOPPLER’S LAW OF LIGHT.
It Proves That Our Solar System Is
Whirling Northward.
The fact that our solar system is
traveling northward at a rate of twelve
miles per second has been determined
by means of one of the most remark
aide laws in the entire history of
science, Doppler's law of light. Stand
by a railway track and listen to a rapid
train approaching. As it approaches the
bell or whistle will increase the pitch
of its sound and Instantly lower the
pitch of tone after it passes and recedes.
When coming more waves enter the
ear and less when it Is departing.
Light consists of the nction of waves
on the retina of the eye. Our earth and
sun, all bodies in the solar system, are
moving to a point in the celestial
vault not far from the star Vega, in
the constellation Lyra, and, of course,
receding from the opposite point of the
sky. Waves entering the slit of the
spectroscope from the northern stars
are compressed—namely, more enter
per second and are dispersed toward
the violet end of the spectrum, less en
ter from the southern stars and are
dispersed toward the red.
Now, exalted mathematics, based on
the laws of light, determine the extent
of dispersion of waves toward the red
or violet for each decrease or increase
of motion of light emitting bodies, and
the amount actually found by experi
ment confirmed the mathematical for
mulas—a proof that modern mind is
expressing at a very exalted rntc.—Ed
gar Lucien Larkin, In New York Amer
ican.

Scaring the Conscience.
| Of all her curious customs London
'cannot boast of a more singular one
| that that formerly so strictly adhered
j to at Holland House, one of the most
j historic old mansions In the British
capital. The last of the Lords Holland
shot himself during a fit of despond
ency. Everything pointed to a clear
case of self murder, yet the Holland
family could never be dissuaded from
the notion that the old man had been
murdered by some unknown assasln.
Accordingly every night for years it
was the custom for one of the family
to go to the rear of the house punctu
ally nt 11 o’clock and fire a gun for the
purpose, it Is said, of “scaring the con
science” of the murderer. This curi
ous practice is a relic of medieval
days In continental Europe, and the
case in point is probably the only In
stance where It has been noticed Blnee
the days of the crusades.
When Men Powdered Their Faces.
The use of powders for the hnlr and
face, which began In the sixteenth cen
tury, Infected the men. Henry III. had
the habit of parading the streets of
Paris, his face covered with white and
red paste, like a faded coquette, and
his hair filled with violet powder and
scented with musk. Powders were
made of all colors, and the infatuation
was such that servant girls were nfraid
to be seen In public with their hair of
the natural color and, not being able to
buy that used by their employers, em
ployed sawdust as a substitute.—Lon
don Mirror.
Dialect.
Miss Itlttu—Aren’t you fond of di
alect poetry. Sir. Drestbeeph? Mr.
Drestbeeph (of the Chicago Browning
society)—Well, Janies Whitcomb Blley
and Eugene Field do very well, but I
came across some poems by a fellow
named Chaucer the other day, and he
carries It too far.—Life.
As a Class.
"Are all pawnbrokers on tin; water
wagon?"
“What do you mean by such a ques
tion?”
"Well,” they’re always taking the
pledge, aren't they ?”—Baltimore Amer
ican. .

PLANNING THE MEAL
Balanced Ration* an Important Factor
In Home Economic*.
"Oil, dear! This eternal planning
nnd contriving, from meal to meal,
over vvliut to serve next.”
A common enough exclamation, sure
ly, nnd one familiar to the family man.
who too often considers wife’s work
more or less of a sinecure and wonders
why she frets so easily over trifles.
Just throwing things together in
bulk, regardless of the food's effect on
the general health and efficiency of
those who must eat it, is a wasteful
and even a dangerous process.
Nowadays the thoughtful housewife
“balances rations” ns skillfully nnd
carefully ns does the careful stock
feeder. She feels that what is good
for beasts of the tield is surely worth
applying to man.
A few hints on balancing rations from
the home economics department, Col
lege of Agriculture, University of Wis
consin, follow:
Fat, protein and carbohydrates
should be distributed through the day
so that no meal will contain an ox- j
i-essive amount of any one foodstuff, j
Don’t serve two or more foods rich ]
in the same foodstuff at one meal. ,
For example, macaroni and cheese j
with meat, rice nnd potatoes.
Don't serve the same food in the |
same form twice in the same day ex j
eept with such staples as bread, butter j
and milk. Never serve such a combi- j
nation as tomato soup nnd tomato sal
ad. or creamed peas and cream of pea
soup in the same meal.
Work for flavor contrasts between
different courses of a meal. Seek to
have pleasing combinations of flavor,
color nnd form in each course.
Plan to serve a fruit or vegetable a!
each meal. A mixed diet of vegetable j
and animal food is safest nnd best. j

PARIS AND BERLIN.
Both Know What It Is to See Foreign
Armies Within Their Gates.
I'aris hus hail severe experiences in ;
the way of surrenders to invading
armies. On March 31, 1814, the allied
armies that had hemmed in Napoleon
entered the French capitul and oc
cupied it with a force of 230,000 troops.
After Napoleon's escape from Elba and
his defeat at Waterloo the armies of
the allies again entered Paris July 7.
1815. Thus the great city had to sur
render to its enemies twice within
sixteen months. Fifty-five years later
—Jan. 28, 1871—the city surrendered
ajjain, this time to the victors in the
Franco-German war, after a brisk bom
bardmeut.
Berlin has seen foreign troops enter
its gates no fewer than three times in
the last 200 years. The first lime,
curiously enough, the conquerors were
Austrian troops under General Had
ilick, who entered Berlin in 1757, when
Frederick the Great was engaged in
fighting the French on the Rhine. Dur
ing their stay the Austrians imposed a
flue of £30,000 on the city, ns well ns
commandeering a huge quantity of pro
visions and equipment for their troops.
It was only Just over three years
later when both the Russian and Aus
trian troops, then allies of one another,
entered Berlin. This time the city was
fined £300,000.
The time that will be best remem
bered, however, was the entry of Na
poleon into Berlin after the victory of
Jena. Napoleon inflicted a very heavy
fine on the Germans and forced them
to feed his troops.—London Tit-Bits.
Saved His Dog.
I.ord ltosebery Is u great lover of an
imals, and on one occasion lie actually
went so far as to risk bis life for a
favorite dog. Ills lordship was on
board a steamer when suddenly his
dog fell overboard. Much distressed.
Lord ltosebery asked the captain to
stop the slili>—a request which was re
fused.
“If It were a man overboard," said
the captain, "why, then, of course”—
"Oh,” said Lord ltosebery, “that can
be easily managed,” and, to the cap
tain's astonishment, he leapt overboard
after the dog himself.
Naturally, the steamer was promptly
stopped, a boat was lowered with all
speed, and both dog and master were
rescued, none the worse for their expe
rience.—London Tit-Bits.
Death by Freezing.
It has never been clearly understood
why severe cold causes death, but a
variety of reasons have been assumed
—the accumulation of carbonic acid,
paralysis of the vasomotor centers,
loss of heat, accumulation of blood in
the heart owing to stagnant circula
tion, anemia of the brain and destrut'
tion of the red blood corpuscles.—Phil
adelphia Press.
Important Detail.
Bacon—I see your brother la in busi
ness again.
Egbert—Yes.
“Is it a gainful occupation?”
“I guess so, but it’s hard to tell
whether he'll gain money or experi
ence.”—Yonkers Statesman.
Would Not Be So Cruel.
Alice—Now that you’ve broken your
engagement with Jack, you will of
course return the diamond ring be
gave you? Betty—Certainly not. It
would be a constant reminder of the
happiness he had missed. — Bostou
