Catching Eels by the Barrel.

One of the most novel sights in
the spring Of the year, at the rocks
ofthe Willamette falls, is the swarms
of gyrating cells. They are friski-
ness itself, show low order of in
telligence. If you put your hand in
the water over the cells, or spit on it,
instantly they are gone. But poke
a stick down among the snaky things
and they do not notice it. The sense
of smell seems to be their main guard
against danger. Like salsmon, they
do their level best to dart up the
rocks in order to ascend the river,
and with good success. Says fish
erman:
i have seen as many as hun
dred bushels of cells hanging on the
rocks at one time by the suckers of
their mouths. They would wiggle
and flutter their tails, and by the
momentum thus obtained, letting go
with their suckers, Jump up about six

Patrick Henry

uttered sublime truth when he said,
sIt is natural for man to indulge in
the illusions of hope. We are apt to
shut our eyes against q painful truth
and listen to that song of that siren
till she transforms us into beasts. y
We are apt to shut our eyes while
colds, catarrh or consumption are get
ting the better of us, hoping not, when
our plain duty is to get some remedy
like the Golden Medical Discovery Of
DIR. Pierce, and take it. We should
not listen to the song of the siren, but
rather heed Longfellow, who tells us
to ''Act, act in the living present"
That means before it is too late. The
Discovery" is one of the great sue
cesses of thea safe, pleasant remedy
to take, and can be had OF all drug
gists. 1t is guaranteed to benefit or
cure, or money paid for it will be re-
funded.

A neglected farm proves that thu
owner is not up with the tines
Better to have surplus Of has
than not enough. You cannot fore
tell how severe the winter will be.
Do not suddenly increase the feed
of horses because of suddenly increa-
sed labor, but rather lessen it at first,
Swedish turnips, parsnips and car
rots are all excellent for fattening
hogs. They viii be relished better
cooked than raw.
A plant must be well fed if the best
results are expected. Poor soil will
produce poor quantity and quality Of
plant growth.
To be successful as a gardener,
you must do more than raise large
crops-you must gather up the frag-
ments and turn them to account.
The farmer should take active in
terest in the condition of the roads
of his town. Their excellence in
creases the value Of the farm.
Equal parts of clover hay and
straw, either wheat or oats, together
with a small quantity of bran, forms
food equal to the best timothy hay
and at a cheaper rate.
Make pets of your colts. Make
friends of your horses. Treat then
kindly, and you will not be troubled
| with unsafe and unruly horses. Il
is but the humane way to treat then
anyway.
| Good hickory ashes are said to b.
excellent for expelling worms from
the bowels of young horses. Mi,
them with the feed, a couple of table
Ispoonfuls once or twice a week.

Fashion Notes.

Triple capes are feature on long
redingotes worn as capes.
There is decided tendency to
lengthen thes skirts ofwalking dresses.
Gray in the daintiest possible tints
is said to be again the rage abroad,
both in fine woods and silks.
Golden olive, the mushroom tints
and fawn brown are popular colors
just now with well dressed ladies.
The close fitting Princess surtout,
made of rough surfaced English
tweeds, is favorite travelling cloak
for brides.
The choicest tailor-made dresses
are of smooth Australian broadcloth
trimmed with two shades of soutache
in applique.
Old fashioned fringes are steadily
gaining in popular favor, also the
spiked fringes with open passemen-
terie heading.
The bodices of tulle or gauze dres-
SEES are almost invariably made of
velvet and draped with the more
transparent material.
For evening wear there are shown
fillets of ribbon to put on the hair in
Greek fashion, and this has become
very popular addition to the revival
of the pseudo classic styles Of the di-
rectoire.
Blue or gray and white flannel sail
or suits are excellent school dresses
for girls, even of thirteen or fourteen
years, being neat and serviceable--
qualities more desirable at school
than costliness.
The orange buds and blossoms are
not the only flowers chosen for brides
wear this season. The small white
bridal roses, tea roses, white lilacs,
lilies of the valley, and other white
flowers are given them for garniture.
Lace boas are being worn. A Par
isian fancy with fur boas is to attach
them at the back Of the bonnet with
which they are worn, bringing them
over the LETT shoulder, around the
throat, and over the same shoulder
again.
Muffs have not yet made their APP
pearance on the streets, but the deal
ers in furs are showing them in two
sizes; enc very large and long, to be
worn with directoire costumes, and
the other extremely small, for ordi-
nary wear.

II good people would but make
goodness agreeable, and smile instead
Of frowning in their virtue, many
would they gain to the good cause.
A noblencss and elevation Of mind,
together with firmness Of constitu-
tinn, gives lustcr and dignity to the
aspect, and makes the soul, asst were,
shine through the body.
Meet difficulties with unfiinching
perseverance, and they win disappear
at least; though you should fall in
the struggle, You will be- honored !;
but shrink from the task, and you
will be despised.

Words OF Wisdom.
In shoal water Won know h,

In shoal water you know how deep
| it is.
The present is the GOLDEN moment
of life.
Be content with such things as
you have.
Only very mean men always take
the half cent.
Beautiful bubbles are but glitter
ing emptiness.
The best physicians are DR.. Diet,
DR.. Quiet and DR.. Merryman.
Who boils his pot with chips,
makes his broth smell Of smoke.
Woman are extremists-they are
either better or worse than men.
A lady and her maid acting in ac-
cord will outwit dozen spirites.
There is no torture that a woman
will not suffer to enhance her beauty.
Woman is charming creature,
who changes her heart as easily as
her gloves.
Life is series of surprises, and
would not be worth taking or keep
ing If it were not SO.
The sun, rising and declining,
makes long shadows, and at midday,
when he is his highest, none at all.
Conviction is in itself power.
The man who is sure of what he says,
gives assurance to those who hear
HIM.
There may be times when silence
is gold, and speech silver but there
are times, also, when silence is death,
and speech is life.

Influence Of Names ON Character.

In bestowing names upon children
parents often perpetuate family names,
however ugly and distasteful. They take
little account of the feelings of those
who are to bear those names through lite
and who may suffer unceasing tortures
under the inHiction of Jacob, "Ebene.
zer, sarah" Harriet and the like.
The Pittsburg Telegraph Chronicle says:
The names will frequently be out of cor
respondence with the physical and men,
tai organization of the persons doomed to
answer to them, and refined and delicate
woman with even poetical susceptibilities
will be obliged to writhe under name
suited to some coarser nature, or man
of rare gifts be weighted with name
that ought to be borne only by field
hand.
Names indeed have subtle influence
on character, and this consideration
should be regarded in choosing them.
Fancy names and names savoring of af-
fectation may exercise decided influence
upon the character of those to whom they
are given, and it would be better to Sc.
lect the plain names if they are not pal
pably ugly, than "highfalutin' ones cal.
culated to inspire counterfeit ways. A
name that inspires distinction without
being supertine is good one to give,
and the shorter the better. Strong short
names sound well and carry weight. The
hole business is one that is managed
with too little discretion.
