TITLES PERFECrEp.--It may not
be known to many that tie title to
Oregon City property is not ~ clear
"as niansions In the skies," and for
this reason many Of her businsn
prospects have failed, - well -
capital has sought more assured
fields and Oregon City hes Lost pres
tage among the pushing" towns
Of the coast. The site was formerly
ciaimed by Dsctor Mclaughlin who
laid out the town and sold lots until
March 4, ls46. He being subject Of
Great Britain could not hold land %
by an act Of congress the lauds were
transferred to other parties but n
the same time all persons who had
bought tracts, lots or parcels Of
lands from the doctor prior to March
4, ls4e were to make their proof aud
patents were to be issued direct from
the government. There being some
trouble In the survey Of the original
claim, the matter hes never been
fully adjusted, but 1t il now under
stood that active steps are being
taken to settle the affair for all time
to come. salem too has = claim
the Univenity claim, that never
has been properly settled. The real
title Is yet In the United States NJ.
though ou 1t are built some of the
finest buildings Of the city. This
matter too IL also being looked up
and the titles will quite likely soon
be cleared up.

Boring for Fo1ey.

A successful boring for honey has
been made in north Tennessee. For
many years swarms of bees have been
noticed by boatmen on Fox Bluff, on
the Cumberland river, near Frank
lin, Ky. The bluff is one hundred
seventy feet high, and the rivers chan
mel runs directly under it. The bees
have been observed about big assure
near the centre of the bluff, and the
opening could not be reached from
above or below without great danger of
being stung to death. AS the bees had
never been robbed, it was believed a
large amount of honey was stored in
the cliff. Recently well-borer visited
the bluff, and was at once impressed
with the idea that he could reach the
wonderful honey storehouse with his
drill. After some coaxing he persuaded
number of farmers to undergo the ex-
pense. A three-nch hole was bored
from the top of the bluff. At depth
of eighty-fve feet the drill struck the
honey. Barrels and tubs by the score
were filled and carried off to neighbor-
ing farms, and the syndicate was com
PEELED to send to Louisville for more re-
ceptacles.

Pot Culture OF Cranberries.

The common cranberry of our
swamps is very attractive plant when
cultivated in pots. The plants are
evergreen, and will grow in any ordin-
airy living-room with care. The beau
tiful vivid-colored berry will remain on
the plants till the flowers appear for
the next crop. The best way to culti-
vate them is to line shallow box, that
fits the window-sill, with zinc, and bore
two holes in the bottom, in the side
nearest the room, for drainage. Fill
the box half full with mould, cover it
with layer of moss, put the plants
in, and always keep the moss moist.
Sprinkle the moss and plants thor
oughly, putting pail beneath the two
holes, to receive the drip. Bits of bark
tackled upon the outside of the box add
to the sylvan beauty of this little win
dow garden.-Good Housekeeping.

Watermelon Preserves.

There was a delightful old lady
whose hospitable home it was my good
fortune to occasionally visit in child
hood. Her storeroom was literally
overlooking with good things, and
among them all nothing so delicious
as the watermelon preserves with
which | was rewarded when especially
well behaved. I find they were made
this way: "Take the rind of a nice
ripe watermelon, cut it into small
strips and boil them, till they begin to
grow tender, in water with saleratus
and peach leaves in it, in the pro-
portion of teaspoonful of saleratus and
a dozen peach leaves to couple
quarts of water. Take the rinds
out of the water, and soak them
in alum-water an hour. Make a
syrup, allowing the same weight of
sugar as rinds. When clarified and
cooled, rinse the rinds, and put them
in the syrup, to gether with powdered
ginger tied up in small bag. Boil
them till they are quite soft; when
partly cooled, add essence of lemon.
Turn the syrup from them in the course
of two or three days, take out the bags
of ginger, and boil the syrup till there
is just sufficient of it to cover the rinds,
and turn it on them while hot. GOOD
Housekeeping.

A True Motive.

Anything done for Christ is great,
and it will be sure to bring a great re-
ward. The greatness of him to whom
the service is given makes the service
great. Sir Walter Raleigh cast his
cloak into the muddy street for Queen
Elizabeth to step upon. The act,
which if done for another would have
been thought trifling or ridiculous, was
commemorated in history and romance
as great and honorable in him, because
it was done for his sovereign. So the
smallest gift you bestow, the humblest
work you do, the feeblest talent you
employ in the service of Christ, is made
excellent and glorious by the infinite
greatness and glory of him whom you
serve. Because you can not do great
thing do not sit down idly and do
nothing. Because you can not startle
the world with your benefactions do
not fail to give anything.-Home Lite
IN the Bible.

The Church and the Young.

The church should address herself
to the training of young people in the
formation of character, with intelligent
conviction that the next half decade
will give to nine in every ten a moral
and spiritual bias that will remain I'M
altered. Nor is this all, for much less
than half decade of neglect will place
young people beyond the reach of the
church forever. There is no time
lease of opportunity with any of these
souls. One year, one week or one
day may turn the scale. One act or
one word may swing wide open the
door of enjoyable Christian fellowship,
or may erect before it an insurmount-
able barrier of prejudice. 1t is high
time for the whole church to be astir
upon this subject. The situation is
most critical. With many young peo-
pie it is now or never. Therefore
fervent prayer, careful study, intelli-
igent counsel, liberal giving and earn
est work should everywhere result in
wise plans, thorough organization, large
facilities, and effective administration
in this most important department of
Christian activity.-Ne,o York Adco-

The African Pygmies.

The name of dwarfs, applied by
some to these people, has been objected
to, as implying deformity or arrested
growth, and therefore conveying a
wrong impression. Nothing of the
kind can be said of the African pyg-
mics, who, though of short stature,
are well-shaped people of perfectly
normal formation. Its true that the
IIottentots and Bushmen show certain
strange anatomical peculiarites; but
these may be said to be more or less
accidental, being, in part at least, the
result of special and unfavorable
conditions of life. The pygmies are no.
madic in their habits, and neither keep
cattle nor till the ground, but live by
hunting and sharing wild animals and
birds, or, under the most unfavorable
circumstances, on wild fruits, roots
and berries. Their weapons are always
bows and arrows, the latter usually
poisoned-the recources of the weak.
They have no fixed abode, and, if they
build shelters at all, only construct rude
huts of branches. They have no gov
erment, nor do they form regular COM
munities; they usually wander about,
like our gypsies, in hordes composed of
a few families each. This, however, de-
ponds on the nature of the country
in the parched deserts of the south
they are not even united to this extent.
Sometimes they are to certain eX-
tent dependent on more powerful
tribes, who afford them protection in
return for certain services. Their no.
tions of the unseen, when they have any,
would appear to be of the very crudest
Their languages seem to be distinct
from others, related among themselves,
and very pecular.-A. Werner, IN Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

Use Your Eyes Carefully.

Sit erect in your CHI air when reading,
and as erect when writing as possible.
If you bend downward you not only
gorge the eyes with, blood, but the
brain as WELL and both suffer. The
same rule should apply to the use of
the microscope. Get one that will en-
able you to look at things horizontally,
not always vertically. Have reading
lamp for night use. In reading the
light should be on the book or paper
and the eyes in the shade. If you
have no reading lamp turn your back
to the light, and you may read without
danger to the eyes. Hold the book at
your focus; if that begins to get far
away, get spectacles. Avoid reading
by the Pickering light of the fire.
Avoid straining the eyes by reading in
the cleaning. Reading in bed is in
furious as rule. 1t must be admitted,
however, that in cases of sleeplessuess,
when the mind is inclined to ramble
over a thousand thoughts a minute,
reading steadies the thoughts and con-
duces to sleep. Do not read much in
railway carriage. l myself always do,
however, only in a good light, and
invariably carry a good reading lamp
to hook on behind me. Thousands of
people would travel by night rather
than by day if the companies could
only see their way to the exclusive
use of the electric light. Authors
should have black-ruled paper instead
of blue, and should never strain the
eyes by reading too fine types. The
bedroom blinds should be red or gray,
and the head of the bed should be
toward the window. Those ladies who
not only write but sew should not
attempt the black seam by night.
When you come TO an age that suggests
the wearing of spectacles let no false
modesty prevent you from getting a
pair. If you have only one eye an eye
glass will do; otherwise it is folly. CO to
the wisest and best optician you know
of and state your wants and your case
plainly, and be assured you will be
properly fitted Remember that bad
spectacles are most injurious to the
eyes, and that good and well chosen
ones are decided luxury. Get pair
for reading with, and if necessary a
long. distance pair for use out of
doors. -CdSSeWS Magazine.

The Power of Freedom.

Jesus Christ escapes from the slavery
of money and of luxury because his
soul is absorbed III the eternal plans of
God; he escapes from the traditions
of his people because he lives in the
eternal truths of God, and he escapes
from circumstances because he lives in
character. Jesus Christ is positive and
not negative. | love to think of that
calm figure, walking majestically, be-
cause it is so absolutely calm, through
the perplexed and troubled and feverish
streets, as if he stood to-day and re-
buked you-why? Not for doing the
things which you are doing; not for
being occupied with the details of life
which have been thrust into your
your hands, and which you have con-
stantly to do with, but for being
the slaves where you ought to be
the masters, or being ruled by
the things which you ought to have
under your control. Here he stands,
the poor Christ, the calm Christ, the
simple Christ, in the midst of our agita-
ton and our riches and our perplexity
and our artificialness and our slowness
of life. The power of freedom is
forever in being fastened to the
heart of God; is forever in living,
in walking with the divine life of
which he was part. 1t is forever in
the positive and not in the negative;
in the great strength of the goodness
to which he chung and not in the weak
ness of the evil which he declined.
And so it must be with us. l may
say, 81 am the son of God. He told
me so. am the son of God; with my
divine belongings, with my divine reach
ings toward the higher life, with my
possibilities of intimate union and close
connection with him who rules the
world, and from whom all holiness
proceeds. l am the child of God, and
therefore the life of the child of God
who is my Elder Brother may become
the picture of the life which l may live,
and | may enter into his salvation."-
Phillips Brooks.

Electricity in China.

Ifreportis to be relied on the Chinese
have still long way to go before they
will be in a position to avail themselves
of the benefits of modern scientific
progress. 1t is stated that the imperial
palace, by order of the young emperor,
was fitted throughout with electric
lights. The imperial cabinet was called
together to witness the formal opening
of the new system of illumination.
Instead, however, of their expressing
admiration of the brilliant light they
stood aghast. This wonderful sheen
which came and went at the touch of a
button, conld only be the offspring of
supernatural powers and was probably
a Vaccination of evil spirits. Thus, in
solemn conclave, the mandarins decided,
and in few days the electrical plant
was removed.-NeC York Sun.

Death of China's Wealthiest Man.

The mail which has just arrived from
China brings news of the death, at his
palace at Honam, in Canton, Of prob
ably the wealthiest man in China. In
the history of the foreign trade of China
no name is so celebrated as that of
Howqua. For the last forty years of its
existence he was the head of unique
corporation of monopolists known as
the Co-Hong, which was usually COM
posed of eight Canton merchants. His
wealth was almost fabulous. In 1884 he
put it down himself at over S26 900 900.
In 1S41, when Sir Hugh Cough levied a
ransom of Sc ,000, 900 on the city of Can
ton, Howqua advanced over 81 100000
to the authorities. He was the leading
tea merchant of China of those days,
the congou teas which he grew on his
own estates being especially renowned
on the London market. The Napoleon
of the trade of China died, aged
seventy-four years, in 1S43, and was
succeeded by his son, who died last
month. The magnificent gardens of
his residence in Canton were one of
the sights of the city. He was always
pleased to show them and his mansion
to English visitors, and he never failed
to draw attention to the presents which
his father and himself rect ived from
successive English sovereigns in reccg.
milton of services rendered to British
subjects in Canton. The younger
Howqua was nearly sixty years of age
at the time Of his death. London
