' feat the democrats. Similar efforts - hav ebeen made in the past and the real reason always become evident : before they have gone very far. I The wish is too often father of the thought which may account for some of the old type standpat republican newspapers saying that the removal i of the "high protective" tariff on wool 1 and farm products will ruin the ( American farmer, in the very face of ! the facts that the farm products ’ range higher now than they did under the protective tariff system. And this only goes to prove the correct- - ness of the democratic argument that the price of farm products is not governed by a tariff but by the world's supply and demand. But we actually believe that some of our republican brethren of the press would really help to bring on a depression of prices in farm products if they could, for purely political purposes.—Portland Sun. • .

f CALLED* FOR MUCH PATIENCE Making of Arrow Heads Brought Into Requisition Ail the Art and Skill of the Indian. — Not all Indians can make arrow | heads. This art was the special function of the older and more skillful | men. lahi seems to have been close-1 ly associated with the usual customs.' he preserves many of the more high- i ly developed arts and crafts. In the manufacture of arrow beads, flint and obsidian were used by the ' Yanas. Obsidian is volcanic glass, occurring in parts of California in the, shape of dark opaque bowlders of I small size. When splintered either ] by stone mallets or by another rock ■ It appears as brownish or dark gray glass, uneven in color. Ishi breaks these bowlders by hit- I ting them with another rock. Having ' obtained fragments varying from 2 to 4 inches long to inches wide, and about a quarter of an Inch thick, he is prepared to flake his haka or heads, i The first flakes are large and free- i ly made, calculating to give by wide | transverse lines of cleavage, and to I establish the fundamental outlines of the point. Later these flakes are | smaller and more like finishing touch- ] ee. The tool he now usee is not horn ] but iron or soft steel. Smaller tools are made of wire nails ' driven into wooden handles 6 inches I long. These are filed to a flat round- , ed point, something like a blunt , screwdriver. In working the obsidian this edge i is held vertical to the stone and the shaft of the flaking tool In the plane of the left palm. Apparently the soft metal permits the glass to make a small dent In it which engages the i two and allows pressure being ap- | ■ plied to the edge to be flaked. Az lab! dcrelopf* the form hi* ■ arrowhead to a graceful acute angle, he changes to a finer flaking tool, and resting the stone on his protected thumb, be then makes the little indentations near the base, which permit the sinew to hold the head of the arrow. Never once during this process does he hit or beat the obsidian. No rough force U required, just patient, artful dexterity and strength of fin- ** Activities cf Women. In the Colorado state penitentiary there are only 87 women as compared to 803 men No woman under forty years of age is allowed to drive her own motor car in Paris. Mme. Palller recently made a flight ] of 174 miles in an aeroplane, which is a new record tor women. Miss Annie J. Cannon, the most disI Anguished astronomer in the world, is cataloging 240,000 new stars. Paris women are wearing half veils, which Is regarded as a reveraiou to the Turkish habit. Over 1,500 women weavers in Paterson. N. J., mills have decided to tsk for shorter working hours and if they do not receive what they want they will go on a strike. So that she will be able to learn ] the methods of just how the schools ire run, Mrs. Ix>ia Morgan, recently elected a school director in Norwood. Ohio, will attend school every day with her children. The school children of T-ane county. Oregon, will be taught road building, and Miss Goldie Van Biber, who will direct the work, will have charge of 79A square miles of country through which roads will be built. Festival of St. Ssbaa. The first order of Christian Anchoritea established in Palestine was founded by St. Sabas, whose festival is celebrated on Dec. 5. the anniversary of his death in the year 532. This renowned patriarch of the monks of Palestine came of a wealthy family, but a dispute Among relatives about the settlement of an estate so disgusted him that he forsook the world end entered a monastery. At the age nf eighteen he went to Jerusalem, but later sought seclusion In 'he wildernews He tnad* lii« home In a cars on the top of a mountain. Th" fame of his holiness spread abroad, and many earn* to him desiring to serve God under his direction. He Anally founded a new monastery of men who desired “to devote thea.eelvee to the prale* and service of God without interruption." and gained hundreds of adherents. Rome of th* old*«tt C’hriptian monasteries in the world, scattered In remote places over th* deserts of Arfa and Africa, were founded by monks who had received inspiration from St Sabas In *he latter part of his long life At. Sabas was the au pericr general of all the Anchorites of Palestine. Wireless Musical Performer.
