Show :rg JAS. T. JAKEMAN , . Managing Editor ESPERANTO. The name of Dr, Zamenhof, of Warsaw, is likely to go down to posterity as one of the worlds benefactors, for to him belongs the credit of inventing Esperanto, a language by Which men of all nations can converse toWe wish to create a common gether. ground on which the various races of mankind can peacefully and fraternally mingle, without intruding racial differences in any way, the doctor remarked in his inaugural address at the conference of Esperantists, at Cambridge. And, judging by the enthusiastic assembly at the conference, that wish is rapidly being realized. different Delegates from twenty-fiv- e half a million nations, representing Esperantists, conversed with each other in the easiest and freest manner. And if further testimony be needed as to the merits and uses of this twenty-year-ol- d language, it can be found in the fact that it has been included in the curriculum of English and French schools. Educationalists, scientists, tourists, commercial men, etc. are rapidly recognising the practical and valuable nature of Esperanto. ' Yet it was not long ago that Dr. Zamenhof was regarded by many people as a crank. Few took him seriously when, in 1887, he published his brochure, An International Language, by Dr. Esperanto, and for ten years he labored hard to get the merits of his linguistic invention recognized. Then the world suddenly awoke to the knowledge of Zamenhofs genius, and commenced to learn Esperanto with avidity. Curiously enough, it wasJt Dr. intention, when he first conceived the idea of indenting an auxiliary language for that is the correct ' description (of Esperanto, seeing that it is an adaptation from all languages and a rival to none to invite universal use, as the story of its origin shows. As a boy Dr. Zamenhof lived in the little town of Bielostok, on the front- ier of Russia and Germany. The inhabitants were of four different nationalities Russians, Poles, Jews and ' Germans each group speaking its own language, and on bad terms with the 'other groups. When young enhof reached his teens he grieved over this, and rightly concluded that the main cause was the misunderstanding due to diversity of language, and determined some day to invent a language which they could all understand. With this object in view he acquired a knowledge of Greek, Latin, French, German, English, Yiddish Russian and Polish and thus equipped himself well for the task. Esperanto was the result of twelve years study, and maj be said to be built up from those words which are already known to the greatest number of persons of average education. Thus from fin ordinary page of Esperanto text an Englishman recognises 70 per cent, of the words, an Italian 60 per cent, a Spaniard 40 per cent, a Frenchman 80 per cent, and a German 40 per cent As an illustration of the simplicity of the new language, it might be mentioned that a booklet of twenty pages is sold at 2 cents for the use of beginners, entitled The Whole of Esperanto, and whoever learns the contents of this booklet will know the greater part of Esperanto. An example of the which forms the basis of the new language will illustrate its comprehen Patro is father; patra, siveneSs. in a patre, fatherly or paternal; mother. patrino, fatherly manner; The nouns end in o, adjectives la a, adverbs in e." Every word of more than one Syllable is accented on the last syllable but one. Phonetically, grammatically, and structurally Esperanto is thus extremely simple. word-buildin- Zam- g The school board of Lewiston, Idaho, has practically decided to build a portable schoolhouse for the children in Orchard heights. The site Is near the logical center of the tract, and for this reason a portable building will be erected. Next year it may be moved or a larger building erected, in which case the little structure can be moved to some other point where it Is needed. F, W, A, Hodge. Hodge. X.

I Never keep ducks shut up to lay; they will sometimes lay their eggs upon the ground or drop them in the water, which gives trouble in collecting, and if there are any carrion crows or even rooks in the neighborhood, they will be there before you, and the eggs will be destroyed, which certainly is a loss, says William an English duck raiser. But breeding ducks hate confinement, and if let out regularly from six to seven a. m. you will find their eggs, as a rule, laid on the floor of the house about that time, and a far greater quantity of eggs will be secured during the season by adopting this- - plan rather than keeping the birds confined until late hours. I may also add here that if you can safely leave the ducks out until dusk in the, evening it is better to do so, as the birds find more natural food worms, etc , which are quite a necessity to breeding ducks during the early mornings and late evenings than any other part of the day. An experienced attendant can tell in a moment by handling each duck any that are carrying an egg, and the bird can be watched, or the first feed could be left until later, when they would return for the meal, and be confined for awhile. Sometimes ducks get and have been known to carry the eggs for several days, and eventually die. If taken in the first stages, a pinch of Epsom salts in a small pellet given to the bird will reduce the inflammation of the ovaries, and the egg can be laid; occasionally a second and even a third, dose will have to be administered (given once a day) before the egg Is laid. In fact, I once had a duck lay three eggs in one day, the last being a egg, and the first like cement, having been car ried four days. As a rule, it is during the early stages that ducks lay their eggs carelessly about and drop them in water. Later on in fhe season they will make a nest in the hedge row, or among nettles, sometimes in the stable or duck house, and it is quite safe to leave the bird to nature, removing the eggs at leisure.

During the last four years, M. E. Poole, a Los Angeles man, has been buying up the Mojave river farms to secure the water rights. Over $20,000 has been expended in this way. .LH...

For this reason fowls having large thin combs are not so well jmtted to the cold north as are those fowls that have thick, compact combs, which we generally designate as rose combs. Some fpwls, like the Polish, have head gears that seem to fit them for life In si cold climate. The man that in the west cannot give his fowls much protection from the weather will do well to choose those that have naturally protected combs. The combs of the fowls are receptacles for blood, and this does not seem to be in motion. Consequently it freezes easily, and It is the common impression among poultry raisers that a fowl that has had her comb frozen is of no value for egg laying operations. When fowls get ready to lay their condition is always shown by their combs. When a bird is being bled to death by mites the comb shows the loss of blood by becoming pale. The comb is therefore quite a good Index of the health of the fowl.
