The Oregon Improvements Company In the
Hands or Receiver.
The month of November, $780, will long
be remembered In the financial centers
of the world as one OF danger and
disaster. Not great number OF leading
houses failed, but many trembled on the
brink of ruin and many made heavy sac
rifices TO save themselves. A number OF
banks and business houses failed In va
rious parts or America, and runs were
made by scared depositors on many
more which were able 10 Withstand the
attacks. The center of disturbance was,
OF course, in Wall street, New York, but
it was felt all OYER the world. In Buenos
Ayres gold went up to over 200 DER cent
premium and Nov. 2e the government
forbade the publication of quotations. IL
was said to have reached 800 premium
that afternoon. but was easer the next
day.
In Europe the feature OF the season
was the collapse OF Barring Erothers. the
great London bankers. They were the
financial agents of Russia, and in re-
taliation for that country's persecution OF
the JEWS the Je wish bankers made an on
slaught on the firm which it could not
Withstand. A syndicate was formed
which took the business. but on such
terms that the Barings must pay 81 20
ON the dollar II they ever get it back.
A large amount OF gold was trans
ferred from San Francisco TO New York
to relieve the stress there, and the sec
rotary OF the federal treasury contrib
uted TO the same end by liberal purchases
eff silver and government bonds.
The Oregon Improvement company
was unable, on account OF the stringeney
of the money market in New York. tc
borrow money which it needed. and an.
nouneed that it would default payment
OF both interest on its first-mortgage
bonds and its sinking-fund obligation

Two sweet Girl Graduates

Two sweet girl graduates went forth
to walk in the woods In their holiday
mood all roads were one to them, and
when they came to a cToss-road they
turned into it. A hunter who happen

A Fasting woman.

Mrs. Adam Wuchter of Whitehall, Pa,
is afflicted with some disease of the
throat and cannot swallow and on
Thanksgiving day had been 235 days
without food. She had failing health
and medical attendance from 1880 to
March 6, 1889, when she had cut a slice
of bread and buttered it and attempted
to eat, but found difficulty in swallowing.
This continued for weeks and she found
it necessary TO have her food moistened
before she could swallow it. April 4,
1890, she experienced so much pain in
attempting to swallow softened bread
that she had to i've it up, and her hus-
band declares that since then she has
not taken as much food or water as
would last him three days.
Opinion is divided as to whether the
couple are deceiving the public, or the
woman is deceiving her husband and
the public, or the case is genuine.

Many doubts are being raised in the

| visibility or desirability in any event
| of caprifying figs in California. A Ere nc
grower states as his reason for disbelief
in the method that the process will not
give the fig any better flavor, because
| il it had been so the ancients would not
have dropped the method simply for the
reason. that the capriiied figs had a
worse flavor. Caprification does not
cause the fly to drop when mature, be.
cause the fig. without capriheation, drops
when it is ripe. Caprification will not
assist in curing, or prevent acidilication
because the curing and souring are due
entirely to causes outside of the hg it

size of the fig or not. This can only bs

"The bareheaded forger" is in limbo.
For years ne has operated on this coast
and in the Mississippi basin. He would
rush into a business house, bareheaded
and coatless, with pen behind his ear,
and present draft on bank bearing the
name of firm located next door and
ask that it be cashed as an accommoda-
ton to the next-door business house.
SuppCssng him to be the neighbour 8
bookkeeper. the person applied to would
hand over the money, only to find, on
presenting the draft when the bank
opened, that it was a forgery. He usu-
ally got $50 at haul, and sometimes he
cleared $500 In day, as he did at San
Jose. His name is Julius X. Dillman and
he has father and brother at Pasadena

E. Curtis and was arrested at San Fran
cisco Nov. 25. having come back from a
professional tour of the east to make a
second season on this coast. A full out

Arsenle sprars and I,,s.

Several Eastern nurseries have, during
the past year or two through their cat
alogues, advised the public to use arsenic
sprays for curculio, while the trees were
in bloom. This may be well enough
where there are no bees to gather honey
from the blossoms, but apiculturlsts
claim that the general practice of this
method would result disastrously to the
bees, which leave everything for the or
ehards when the trees are in bloom. Not
only would many bees be killed outright,
but proportion of arsenic would be inn
parted to the honey. Just how much
can only be ascertained by careful ex-
experiments. Sooner or later. the 'lit-
tie Turk " cureulio will invade Cslifor-
MIA. 1t is well to be forebanded with
the uneradicable pest when it comes.
We should also care for our bees.
Neither the eurculio nor Goblin moth
can attack the fruit until after the bios
SONS have fallen, and it would seem
that then would be the best time tc
apply arsenic sprays.-California Fruit
Grower.
