"Electricity is a loose lerm, used mis

POE AND "THE RAVEN."
Hi« Comment on the Tinkling Foot
falls and the Bird's Shadow.
In a letter written on Dee. 1">. 1S40,
to G. W. Evelett of Phillips. Me.. Ed
gar Allan Poe. in commenting on Jii«
famous poem. "The IJav!w" saiil: i
"For tbe purpose of poetry it is quite
sufficient that a thin? is possible, or at
least that the improbability b" not of
fensively glaring. It is true that in
several ways, as you say. the lamp
might have thrown the bird's shadow
on the floor. My conception was that
of the bracket candelabrum affixed
against the walls, high up above the
door aud bust, as is often seen in the
English palaces and even in some of
the better houses in New Yorfc.
"Tour objection to the tinkling of
the footfalls Is far more pointed and in
the course of composition occurred so
forcibly to myself tlmt I hesitated to
use the term. J finally used it. because
I saw that it had, in its first concep
tion, been suggested to my mind by the
sense of the supernatural with which
It was at the moment filled. No human
or physical root coora tinKie on a soft
carpet—therefore (be tinkling of feet
would vividly convey the supernatural
Impression.
"Your appreciation of 'The Sleeper'
delights me. In higher qualities ot
poetry it is better than "The Raven,'
but there is not one man In a million
who could be brought to agree with me
in this opinion. 'The Haven/ of course,
is f:ir the better as a work of art—but
in the true basis of all art 'The Sleeper'
is the superior. 1 wrote the latter when
quite a boy."
The Book of the Dead.
The ancient Egyptian "The Book of
the I »cad" is probably unique among
books, inasmuch that it was Intended
fur use not in this world, but in the
next. It consists of a collection of
prayers and exorcisms composed o 1
various periods for recitation by the
soul during its passage through hades
and was indeed regarded as a safe con
duct through that region. For this rea
son the Egyptians, who themselves en
titled it I'er-em-hrn, "to go forth from
day." buried a copy of the work, or
portions of it, with their dead.—West
minster Gazette.
Teat Fop Silk.
If silk splits or cracks it is a sign
that its fabric has been weighted.
There is a simple and a sure test by
which the quality of the material may
be determined. A bit of the silk and a
match are all you need. Light the
match and apply it to the fabric. If It
holds iu shape the silk is adulterated
with some of the various minerals so
used. If it runs together in a puffy
mass I he silk is pure.
A Fond Mother.
Called to the bedside of a fond moth
er's baby boy. the doctor diagnosed the
ailment as acute rheumatism. The
mother responded quickly:
••Acute rheumatism. 1 might have
known it; everything he does or says 1b
just as cute!"—Philadelphia Ledger.
Breaking It Gently.
^.ittle Floyd— Why don't you kill that
oM hen, Mr. Neighbors? Mr. Neighbors
—What old hen do you mean, my boy?
I.'ttle Floyd—The one that pecks you
all the time. I heard mother say you
had been henpecked ever since you got
married.—Chicago News.
Forewarned.
Caller-Will yon see if your sister is
in? Susie—Yes. sir, but I don't think
she will be. She saw you coming up
the steps.—Albany .Touraal.
Its Moral Advantage.
"Aviation Is usually conducive to the
control of ope's temper."
"How so?"
"It would never do when several hun
dred feet up Id the air for one to get
put out. would it?"—Baltimore Ameri
can.
Settlement Work.
Plri yon hoar about Muggins taking
up settlement work?"
"Yes He usually works his creditors
for 50 rents on the dollar."—Town Top

Tired all the time;
Weary and worn out night and
day;
Back aches; head aches,
Your kidneys are probably weak
ened.
«
You should help them at tlieir
work.
Let one who knows tell you how.
H. R. Hatch, 2516 Cedar St.,
Everett, Wash., says: "It is about
fifteen yeara ago that I had kid
ney trouble For over a year I was
confined to the house and it was iui
possible for mo to get about without
help. I had terrible pains through
the small of my back and rheum
atic twinges throughout my body.
I could not straighten up in the
mOmliig without going through all
kinds of misery. The kidney secre
tions were sometimes very scanty
and then again profuse I doctored
but was not given the leats bit of
relief. Every one of them claimed
that I had Brlght's disease and
that I was too far gone to bo cured.
Just at that time Doan's Kidney
Pills came tx> my attention and I
gave them a trial. I began to notlc
a change In my condition right
after taking the first box. Grad
ually the Bymptoms left me. I be
gan to limber up and I was able to
get around after taking ten boxes.
I was at last my natural self and
free from all trouble. It Is now fif
teen years since I was cured, and
C can say that I have had no troubl
alnce."

MEANY TRACES THUEAD
THAT HELD NORTHWEST
Seattle, July 24—Professor Ed
mond S Meany, the historian o£
Lho Northwest, is following Pro
fessor Frederick Jackson Turner, of
Harvard, In the special course in
American history organized for the
summer Bession students of the
University of Washington. Where
Professor Turner 'n rapid review
outlluo'i the scene, Frofessor Meany
Is going behind the Bcenes in de
tail. His lectures tK'gtm with a
consideration of Oregon in Ameri
can diplomacy and will take up som
of the individuals who figured largo
In the history of the Northwest.
"The nations of the world swirl
ed in the Northwest," said Pro
fessor Meany, in the opening lec
ture of this series. "The Spaniards
came northward from Mexico, The
English cut in with their world
girdling mariners, followed by their
fur traders. The Russians swung
down from the frozen seas. And the
Americans came in the person of
the adventurous Boston skipper.
The ceuter of the international
swirl was Nootka, on Vancouver is
land, the only harbor known north
of Monterey; for the early traders
on this coast repeatedly missed the
straits of San Juan de Fuca.
"One by one, the nations were
eliminated; Spain, by the supple
mental treaty of Madrid in 7195, fol
lowing seizure of two British ves
sels oil the Pacific, withdrew to
California; Russia, by a treaty with
the United Statea iu 1S24, and
England and the Uni,t«d States were
left to dispute posstssion of the
land.
"John Jacob Astor s iur iraams
post at Astoria held the moutli of
the great river in the rac9 for the
Columbia. But it dfd not flourish,
and It was just about to pass into
the hands of the Northwest com
pany in tho war of 1812—the pa
pers were drawn up for signature—
when the little fort was captured by
the only; British man-of-war on the
Pacific coast, the Raccoon. And
that capture eventually saved Ore
gon to the United States. For when
the treaty of Ghent was signed, a
hundred years ago next Christmas
evo, there was included an ante
bellum clause jvhich stated that
territorial rights Bhould stand as
they -were before thq war broke out,
which meant, among ether things,
that the little post at Astoria was
American ground.
"An artificial transfer again fol
lowed, but was superceded b:~ the
Joint occupation airangement of
1818, extended indefinitely in 1827,
when it became plain that actual
occupation finally ■was to decide
possession of Oregon.
