TIE girls in the first class of the High
School in Portland. between thirty aud
forty in number, have agreed, with only
two exceptions, to adopt for a school dress
plain, substantial, and not expensive ma.
terial. Overskirts, laces, and velvets are
to be wholly discarded, and ribbons used
only to limited extent. No jcwelry ex.
cept plain pin, and one plain ring is to
be worn. The girls agree to wear no 9th.
er costume to school between this time
and their graduation next June. Many
pupils in the lower classes are following

become quite general in the school.
Among the things discarded, slang talk
may be mentioned, which they agree to
drop entirely.

A WILL has Just been admitted to pro-
bate in Ban francisco, which contains
some provisions as unusual as they are
credltable to the Judicial impartiality of
the testator. Having died without direct
heirs, he divided the bulk Of his property
among his numerous relatives, taking care
TO make the portions Of the females about
double those Of the males. But It Is in
his bequess 10 religious institutions that
he becomes an anomaly among testators,
as he gives 5000 to the Roman Catholic
Orphan Asylum oil San Francisco, and
precisely the same amount to the Protes-
tant Orphan Asylum Of the same city.
The religious views ofthe deceased donot
appear, nor is It important that they
should. In the last solemn act ofhis life,
be showed o broad sympathy with hu-
manIty, which Is gilmore value to man
kind as an example that can be found In
the most Intense devotion to sect.

Cider and pickles for Fever,

From tho Detroit Free Press, December li.)
Some two months ago a resident OF Ma.
ple street named BFoef was taken III
with some sort Of fever, and for two
weeks there was little hope Of saving his
life. He continued to sink, in spite Of all
the physicians could do, and they finally
gave him up. All through his sickness
the man had continually asked for pickles
and cider, and when he had got 60 low
that his death was considered only a
question ot few hours, Mrs. Broet de-
cided 10 crafty his wishes. A glass of
sweet cider was given him, spoonful at
q time, and he declared that he felt much
better for It. More was given through
the night, in place OF medicine, aud tho
next morning the doctor declared that o
most favorable change had taken place.
Some strong pickles were procured and
given him, and he began to call tor cruel
and broth. To be briei, he is now able
to move around the house, and everybody
In the neighborhood, as well as the ply.
siclan, gives the cider and pickles the
credit ofperiorming the cure.

YOUNG LOVE.
So Fine 10 be Engaged.

Every one must have noticed the great
difference, as q general thing, between
the conduct Of the young betrothed man
and 'the young betrothed woman. He,
the braver and stronger oil the two, Is ut.
terly confused and seeks 10 make secret
of the fact. She, on the contrary, tries
to parade It, Is proud Of It, assumes a Ger.
tain air Of proprietorship over him, and
offers to her friends little delicate conf.
dences as to how nice 1t is be engaged,
and how dreadfully jealous he is II she
looks at any one else.
The cause OF this is Just one thing: the
man is in love; the girl Is not.
l have studied human nature, have
looked into the depths Of hearts, have
made man and woman the study ofmy life
and l aver that the girl in love is rarer
than black rose. She simply has for her
lover exactly the feeling that the young
mother has for her baby. She has an
anxious desire 10 see him for lie, to make
sure that he is comfortable, that his but
tons are all right, and that his food is
what it ought to be. She understands
that he Is In love with her, and rejoices in
the knowledge. The idea of losing his
love Is madness to her, but oil herself she
docs not understand it.
A woman who Is not selfish, and gree.
dy, and mean, who does not smile on any
one who can give her fine clothes and
grand establishment, overfoWs with the
mother feeling all her life. She expends
II on her dolls in childhood, on her poo-
die, or her kitten, or her canary after.
ward, and, when the time comes, on her
lover. Many man would lose q great
deal OF his conceit and vanity II he knew
just how the girl whomhe supposed To be
in love with him really felt. She, also
would be surprised to hear that she was
not in love at all, but only delighted to
have some one In love with her, and in q
measure awakened to the knowledge oi
that love which she will some day give
her children. 1t is the best sort Of love
too, and when a mans wife really loves
him rs his mother used to love him, she
makes him happy.
But think It time that some one who
knows the truth should tell 1t. A good
woman's love is something to be happy
ln-not the heeting gallantry that man
calls by that name, but pure and high
affection, aud with SO much Of the moth
erly and protecting In II, that l have often
heard a little eighteenyear.old woman
say Of a six .IooteF Of two hundred pounds
weight, and q bdgadIer general to boot
