Bill and Dick Wi(?Klus bave been taking annual hunts tonethr-r (or tev- nty-flve years. They are brothers. Bill Is 8 and Dick Is 84. They bavs made their home In Knox for many years. They returned a few days ago from thnlr annual hunting trip to the Big Thkket, bringing ha k with l hem two flat bears, two deer and a pantt,er. De spite their age they are still as spry the average man of middle age. Their hair Is Just beginning to turn gray and neither of them ever wora glasses. BUI Wiggins killed the smaller bear. They killed two deer apiece, using up two of the animals In camp and bringing back the other two with tbeni. They do their own cooking in camp and get the keenest enjoyment out of their outdoor experience. They are also great fishermen, and 'luring the summer season spend much of their time along the streams of this region angling for bass and olht-r fish. How They Got Out. Uncle Ephralm had two hogs, which he kept In a pen at. the rear end of hlx little lot They were of the "razor back" variety, and althougn they were fed bountifully with kitchen ite, it seemed Impossible to put uny lot on their attenuated frames. One mm n Ing when he went out to feed them they were not there. They had disap peared, leaving no clue to the mannor In which they had made their escape. 'What's the matter, Uncle Epli'."' Inquired a neighbor, noticing the deep dejection with which the old man was looking down Into the empty pen. 'My hawgs Ib done gone, sah, be answered. 'Stolen?" 'No, sah, I don't see no signs dat anybody tuck 'em." "Did they climb out over the top?" "No, dey couldn't 'a' done dat." "How do you think they got away? "Well, sah." said Uucle Ephralm, my 'pinion is dat dem hawgs kind o' raised delrselves up on aidge an' crope through a crack." EARLY AMERICAN MINE, First Production of Bituminous Coal In This Country In Virginia. The first bituminous coal mined In the United States, states the United States Geological Survey, was taken from what Is usually termed the Rich mond basin, a small area In the south eastern portion of Virginia, near the city ot Richmond. This basin Is situated on the east' em margin of the Piedmont plateau, thirteen miles above tidewater, on the Jame River. It lies In Goochland Henrico, Powhatan and Chesterfield counties. The coal beds are much distorted and the coal Is of rather low grade when compared with that from other districts with which It has to come Into competition. The occurrence of coal was known In the Richmond basin as early as 1700. and in 1789 shipments were made to soma of the Northern States. ' In 1822 the production amounted to 48.215 gross tons. At present what little coal Is produced In this Held is for local consumption only. To Walk Well. Don't drag your feet or fling them or lag or stride. Learn to glide Into a room gracefully. It la Impossible for a woman to be awkward In her walk If she walks straight and keeps her knees stiff. The act of swinging the feet out gives one a graceful gait. Walk slowly. Skirts wind around your calves when you walk rapidly, and all semblance of grace Is lost. WaHt In a leisurely manner, as If you were a priucees, not a hurried, wor ried, overworked woman. Don't swing your shoulders. Don't swing your arms. Don't twist yourself In sinuous mo tion. Don't contort. Don't wiggle. Hold your chin In. This la the most Important thing of all. Don't walk or look or act like an old person. There are no old persons In these days. Touch the ground first with the balls of your feet, with the heels striking an Instant later. World Not So Very Bad. That bad news travels fast Is !d saying, and In the present time of electric communication by land and ea, we get plenty of bad news every tnornlug. The tact that we bear of o many crimes and mlsdolugs avery part of the world, tar more than were reported a quarter century ago, lirobably accounts tor a sham of the lownheartednees in respect to human nature, which oppresses so many of us at times. But the fact remains that (he misdoings often get notice In th newspapers because they have some picturesque or Interesting quality which obtrudes above the level of nor mal human life; it regular and de cent living should ever become "news we all should indeed be In a very bad way. Hence, It looks as though we ought to reallie that the world Is no woise than It used to be, but that we know more about It, and It we are forewarned ws should be the better equipped for defending ourselves and helping our neighbor. No Boxes for Two. Telephone girls sometime glory In their mistakes. If there Is a Joke In consequence. The story ia toid by telephone operator In one of the Boa ton exchanges about a man who ask ed her for the number ot a local the atre. He got the wrong number, and with out asking to whom hs was talking, he said: "Cub I get a box for two to night?" A startled voice answered him at the other end ot th line: "Ws don't bav boxes for two." "Isn't this the Theatre?" hs called crossly. "Why. no," was th answer; "this Is an undertaking- shoo." 1 tie J far iw- cancelled his order for a "box" w.-Sosoa Uatralsl OREGON'8 EXPERIMENT. It Contemplates s New Form of Stat Government. Besides pointing the way for mak ing United States senators responsi ble to the people, Oregon Is sdvsnclng In-other directions In the science of government. Presently we shall see nine-tenths of the elective officers of Oregon elimi nated. Governor, auditor, legislators will be elected, but the Governor will appoint all other executive officers, and must stand responsible for them. The Governor and cabinet, as Is the Canadian custom, will have seats in the house. Three government ad vlsers, experts In administration, will be chosen, and every three months very householder In Oregon will re reive a copy of the official gazette re porting every act of government. In other words, the people of Ore gon are going to apply to state govern ment a variation of the commlss'on system which has solved municipal problems with such success In sovera middle class cities. The machinery of government In this country Is too complicated, too heavy. Its very unwleldlness ls-sn aid to corrupt politics and the stronghold of boS8lsm. Any means of s1tnp'.fflng govern ment will be welcome, and every state In the Union should watch Ore gon closely In her experiments Id that direction. Chicago Journal. New Salad Plsnts. Salads and their conBtltuentR form an ever green topic with epicurean writers, and especially during recent years much has been written about the hosts of neglected wild plants which make excellent eating. The Royal Horticultural Society Is about to undertake an extensive ex periment In this connection, at the so ciety's gardens at Wlsley, Surrey, for planting with many thousands of strange plants reputed to be good for salads. 8. T. Wright, superintendent of the gardens, stated that the aim of the ex periment is to discover what varieties of plants can be used for salads. "Much haB been said about the good qualities of hundreds of plants which only a few persons have ever really tested. We shall try everything a can get hold of which In any way can be considered good for salad purposes. "The plants and tbelr varieties may run Into tens of thousands. Many of them will be Introduced from the Continent and from America, and there is no doubt that a large number will be wild plants." London MalL Star-Wells. The hills in the neighborhood of Nice are cut and seamed with remark able gorges, among which are found deep holes locatly known as puits sux etoiles, or star-wells. They are so called because of the belief that from their bottoms Btars can be seen even In daylight, although It has been proved that the old notion that stars can be seen In the daytime from the bottom of dp wells la untrue. These abysses have been formed by the action of water, and at the bottom there Is usually an opening into a narrow gorge, by which the water escapes. Some of them coutaln cas oades. The greater number of the pults aus etooles are so profound and narrow that the rays of the. sun never reach their deeper parts. They art always very moist, and the temper sture In them is almost Invariable. Below the point to which the sunlight penetrates the only vegetation is moss Was Ready. Here la a charming bit of obltuar. sentiment from sn eastern newspu par: "He had been married 40 yen and was prepared to die." Dancrerous Insects. Recent Investigations bave shown that the notorious tsetse ot Africa Is not the only insect capable of trans mitting the dreadful trypanosomiasis, or sleeping-sickness. In the neighbor hood of Brazzaville exists an Insect, of th genus Chryxopa, which propagates the same Infection, and Doctor Martin now announces that trypanosomes are evolved In the body of a mosquito of the genus Btegoniyla, another species of which la known as the propagator of yellow fever In America. The more the subject Is studied, the mors dan gerous Insects appear as spreaders of disease. Shorthand Without Hsnds. A youth of flfteen named Possnook, who two years ago ! t both his hasls In a machinery accident at Arnstddt has accomplished the remarkable feat of gaining a speed certificate for short hand. After bis mlshnp, by which bis hands were cut off at the wrists, he was received Into s cripples' borne. The Duke of Saxe-Melnlngen, one of the patrons, took an active lutereet in the lad and paid for two artificial bands. The cripple soon became so xpert in their use thut he Is sn ex cellent penman and can write, short- hand at the rate of IIS words per min ute. London Tit-Bits. New Coffee Plant. The African explorer, Carrentler, baa found In Sasandra a new species f coffoe-plant, which la very abund ant In some places, although It Is a dwarf form, varying In height fro as three feet to less than a foot. Ill their wild state the berries are not suitable for coffee-making, but it Is hoped that by cultivation this plant may be 1 proved, ss other species In th Congo State have already been. At preneut the new plant Is only a botanical curiosity. Long Distance Plr.no Record. The world's record for continuous piano-playing has been broken by C. W.
