THAT AWFUL Cow.-There pro-
badly isn't woman In North
America " no isn't afraid Of COWS,
and there is not COW IN North
America which would harm one
hair of any woman's head fit had
the best chance in the world and
no other Job Oh hand. Wednesday
forenoon stray COW, perhaps from
the country for taste OF baled hay,
found q gate open and entered
yard on Second street. The woman
came to the front door dressed 10
60 out, but seeing the COW she
uttered scream and hurried back.
There wasn't q thing in the yard
for the COW to damage or eat, and
being tired she raised her cud, lay
down and began 10 chew away as
If she had got home from q long
visit to Europe. The woman next
appeared at a side window and
called upon the COW to get out."
A dog might have ''got," but the
COW didn't. Then the woman
threw rag at the COW and called
for the dog. The dog didn't come
aud the rag didn't scare. Then the
woman shook a pillow at the COW
and peremptorily ordered her off
the premises, but the bovine half
closed her eyes and let her thoughts
run ahead to fly time. As the COW
wouldn't 90, and the woman
couldn't go till the COW did, s)erner
measures were restored to. y tin
pan was held out of the window
aud beaten with n spoon, but that
cow couldn't be fooled into believ-
ing that the Fourth of July had
come. Then the woman went into
the back yard to throw clubs over
the fence and knock O couple Of
horns off. The first one lit the
window and the next one banged
the blinds on the next house, and
the cows horn stuck tighter than
ever. Cries OF "git OUT = were
again resorted TO without effect,
and then the woman watched at the
front door I'LL she saw boy come
along and she opened it and cried
out, "Oh. boy there's a horrible
COW in our yard Prop tho gate
open and get all tha boys you can
and drive hsr out, and I'll give you
3 whole quarter Of dollar Hurry
up, for she looks as if she was got
ting ready to come right in here ! ="
The boy "humped" the dangerous
animal out in thirty seconds, receiv-
ed his pay and the woman gave up
going down town for fear she would
have nervous spell"

DIsPosING OF STRAw.--The most
novel way of disposing Of straw hat
we have heard OF comes from p
Chicago gentleman who has been
travelling about a good deal with
his eyes open. He proposes, ac-
cording to the Praire Farmer, 10
run the straw through powerful
straw cutter, cutting it, say three
inches in length and then spreading
it evenly over tt soil and turning
it under. Among the advantages
be names are that it not only is a
benefit to grain, but OF great value
on a meadow. ''IU will readily get
to the ground" he says, 'instead OF
lying on the stubble or incumbent
grass it Vill not be blown off as
uncut straw is liable to be. 1t
shades and protects the grass plants
more effectually, and iaft bat not
least, 1t viii be SO well decayed by
tho following harvest, that it will
not rake up with the hay. On land
TILED | have known a dressing of
cut straw and no other application
to more than double the first crop
of clover hay"

MONTANA AS A MINING Field
From an editorial in the Helena
Independent, we gather this state
ment of the promising outlook for
Montana
AT no previous period in the his
tory Of Montana has there been so
much prospecting for quartz going
on as there is at this moment. New
discoveries are of frequent occur
renee, and not few give promise
of rivaling the best that have
achieved considerable reputation.
Mines that have been idle for years
are being put i'll working order
We do not doubt that during the
coming fall and winter there viii be
many valuable mines discovered
and a number of lodes developed
into paying mines. There never
has existed any doubt as to the
richness of Montana quartz, and
there now seems no reason 10 doubt
the perTnanencv of the veins.

SYSTEMATIC IIoUsEKEEPING. -
Have day for each part OF the
heavy work. Monday, washing.
Have a drying room or balcony
for drying in wet weather. Always
dry the tubs and boilers nicely be
tore putting them away. Ifpossible,
have wire line in the yard tor
drying clothes. Use borax instead
of soda if the water is hard. As
much care should be given to the
rinslng as to the washing OF clothes.
Take great pains in folding down
the clothes, as this facilitates the
ironing. Tuesday, ironing aud
baking. Wednesday, clean pan
tries and cupboards, drawers and
the cellar. Thursday, sweep up
stairs do this SO we'll that each
bedroom will smell fresh and new.
Don't be afraid Of sunshine and air
to assist iii cleaning. Wear a dust
cap and mittens whose wristlets ex-
tend over the dress sleeve. With
neatly combed hair, tidy dressed
feet, and a working dress In repair,
you need not be ashamed because
Count Noaccount gets glimpse OF
you at work. Friday, sweep halls
and stairs, and all of down stairs.
Disarrange only one room at q
time. Pm a cloth TO your broom
and brush away cobwebs. Sweep
your rooms twice, and many car
pets are improved by taking a
damp cloth, wringing it out fire.,
quently in q pail Of water, and wip-
ing the dust off the carpet. Satur-
day, clean kitchen, bake and pre-
pare for Sunday. Let every Sunday
afternoon be a rest and
recreation. Do as little
extra cooking as possible on the
Sabbath. Gentility counts for a
greater value than show. BY doing
this only you will have time to read
The newspapers and magazines
Keep up with your music, or take
up study or reading. Medicine
and hygiene are tit studies for &

CANNOT DO WORSE.

The taxes for Josephine county
this year, we are informed, amount
to thirty-hve mills on the dollar.
Josephine county, since its organiza-
ton, has hardly known anything
else in its government but strict party
rule and management in county
affairs. County warrants cannot be
cashed for more than 85 cents on the
dollar, if for that much. Douglas
county was similarly cursed for a
time,and during that time we suffered
from q blackmud swindle of $15, 900
and the peculations Of a ring which
plunged the county heavily in debt.
But just here the people took the
matter of county government into
their own hands First they elected
an independent ticket, and the county
Indebtedness was considerably de-
creased. Then came term of old
party rule, and with an Independent
County Judge the Indebtedness be-
came smaller. Now with Inde-
pendent county management the debt
is wiped out, taxes are but 21 mills
on the dollar, county warrants are
worth their face in hard money, and
next year the county will be run at an
expense of only Is mills. Would it
not be good thing for the people of
Josephine If they would copy after
the example set them by the people
of Douglas county ? They might try
the experiment. BY SO doing they
would not because they cannot, do
worse than they are now doing.

Reports from Europe announce q
stiffening in prices of wheat, as we
predicted would be the case several
weeks ago. The advance in rates is
all along the line, and pr esent indica-
tions are to the effect that the highest
prices for wheat will be paid in No
venber and December. 1t is also to
be noticed that freight charters are
becoming dearer, and owners of ves-
sells in port at Portland are refusing
to carry wheat to Liverpool and other
points for SIC per ton; shipowners
believing they will yet secure "a per
ton.
