Alittle boy once asked a visitor whose
bright eyes attracted his admiration.
Are your eyes new ones2' and the
childish question was as high "a COM
pliment as that of the Irish lahorer
who requested the Duchess of Devon
shire to let him light his pipe by her
eyes. Some rarely beautiful orbs are
so wondrously clear, scintillating light
like gems, that such questions are not
difficult to understand.
What color in eyes is best entitled
to the claim of beauty has never been
definitely settled, as some people pre-
fer one color and some another; but
while really beautiful eyes are beauti-
full in any color, brown and blue, es-
pecially the so called violet. y are per
haps the most popular. Various ac-
cessories go to make the beauty of an
eye, such as large, we'll fringed lid,
white, but with suggestion of tint
like the palest sea shell, long, thick
lashes shadowing the cheek, and we'll
defined arched eyebrows. So impor-
tant are these adjuncts that they will
give beauty to eyes that are in them
selves quite commonplace. The pc.
sition of the eyes has much to do with
the impression they produce, as, If toe
near together or too far apart, there is
a lack of symmetry about the whole
face. - Harper's Bazaar.

still waiting for tho BOY.

A sad reminder of the great blizzard
= the mental condition of New York
nah living in the fashionable part Of
Lexington avenue not far from Thirty
seventh street. This man had an on ly
son, who went out in boat the day
before the blizzard came for sail
down the bay. The boat was never
heard of after that and the young
man very probably was lost. Yet the
father did not lose hope. Day after
day he waited for news OF his sons
rescue. He hoped that some vessel
had picked the little boat up, or that
by some other means the boys life
was saved.
The body not having been found the
man could not believe the boy dead
For weeks he waited to hear some
news, but none came Under the load
Of grief his mind almost gave way,
and to this day the old man. whose
mind is now almost wreck, expects
ct the least noise in the block to hear
that his son has been found.
If there is sound Of hurrying feet
on the pavement outside he will get up
TO see if there is not messenger boy
coming with news from his son. All
through the night he awakes at the
slightest noise, and his first inquiry
Is whether the news of his sons rescue
has come.-Cor. Baltimore American.

HARVEST is NOW HERE.


Judging from the large amount of harvesting
machinery now being sold throughout the North
west. As an illustration of the business now be
ing done in that line. Mr.. z. T. Wright. who, by
the way is selling nearly all of the threshers for
the entire Northwest, owing to the popularity OF
his weli-known Advance thr shing machinery,
gives the following as his sales yesterday, being
actual sales. either made at his wareroom, foot
of Morrison street. received by letter or tele-
graph Nine separators four Advance traction
engines, one secondhand engine of another
make. four horse powers four self-feeders. one
steam wood saving outfit complete, the entire
outfit aggregating over $1,000. Mr.. Wright says
he does not usually let others know what he is
doing; but, owing TO the fact that some dis epu
table men travelling for house that upholds that
class of men, have found the Advance machine
SO popular they cannot sell machines that come
out under new name every few years, conse
queutly pass over the country telling falsehoods
and In the last few days have stated among
other misstatements there is no sale Tor the Ad
vance machines Mr.. Wright simply asks those
interested to Look at the freight trains going IN
different directions. and will furnish proof of his
sales If need be, il being the only machine even
introduced in the Northwest that has never beer
replaced by other makes of machines Oregon

The KniRhting Ceremony.

When an Englishman is about to be
knighted he receives a notification to

tons as to the manner of his behavior
when in the royal presence, with a
foot note telling him the time that the
train by which he is supposed to travel

The Frigid Bostonian.

It would be pleasant if Boston men
displayed a trifie more cordiality to
each other when they meet in society.
1t is only too apt to be the case that
intimate friends will meet in a draw
Ing room with hardly a nod of recog-
milton. So intent are the men on max
ing good impression on the hostess
or any other women who may be pres
emit that they ignore, perhaps uncon-
sciously, their male friends. If they
knew how i'll bred such conduct ap-
pears to strangers, they would try to
reform it. There is every reason why
men who move in the same circle and
meeteach other constantly should greet
each other with civility in society.
Even when there may be enmity be-
tween them nod and decent recog-
milton are demanded by the usage OF
polite life. To cause scene or to al.
low the hostess to feel that there is
anything uncomfortable in the air is q
breach of good breeding. Boston Sat

The Deceased wife,s Sister.

Any theorist who denies the su
perior vitality of women should pause
and consider that astounding British
female, the deceased wife's sister. She

not wither her, nor custom stale her

garden of girls" she is a perennial,

Far up in the mountains of Ceylon
and India there is spider that spins
a web like bright yellow silk. the cen
trail net of which is FIVE feet in diam
eter, while the supporting lines, or
guys, as they are called, measure some
times ten or twelve feet long; and
riding quickly in the early morning
you may dash right into it. the stout
threads twining round your face like
lace veil; while as the creature who
has woven it takes up his position in
the middle. he generally catches you
right on the nose, and though he sci
dom bites or strings. the contact of his
large body and long legs is anything
but pleasant, If you forget yourself
and try to catch him. bite he will,
and, though not venomous, his jaws
are as powerful as birds beak. and
you are not likely to forget the en-
counter.
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or scarlet underneath, while the
upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate colored fur. So strong
are the webs that birds the size of
larks are frequently caught therein,
and even the small but powerfully
scaled lizard falls a victim. Often
have l sat and watched the yellow or
scarlet monster, measuring, when
waiting for his prey with his legs
stretched out, fully six inches. strid-
ing across the middle of the net, and
noted the rapid manner in which he
winds his stout threads around the un
fortunate captive. He usually throws
the coils about the head, till the
wretched victim is first blinded and
then choked. In many unfrequenteo
dark hooks of the jungle you come
across most perfect skeletons of small
birds, caught in these terrible snares
the strong folds of which prevent til,
delicate bones from falling to tn,

have dispersed the flesh and feathers
