Systematic Living.

Junius Henri Bro Wn has recently discussed
the question why women have no time, aud
he finds the solution of the problem to lie in
the fact that they have no system in the
spending of time. II woman is busy, he
says, and friend drops in, she leaves her
work for two hours talk or if letter ar
rives that appeals to her, no matter how
pressing her employment, she stops and re-
plies to it, and SO the arraignment runs on,
says writer in the american CultlOator: at
cannot be denied that there is a vast amount
of truth in this, and still it is by means of
these same swift sympathies and capacities
for instant change that women are enabled
to be the conservators of social life, and the
best guardians of public educational and phi
lanthropic considerations. Or, rather, the
faults Mr.. Browne names are the abuse, rath-
er than the true use, OF these faculties. At
the same time, all this arraignment is individ-
ual rather than universal, and may or may
not be true of the individual woman.
In the easy latitude of home duties wo-
man would often be the loser rather than
the gamer if she denied herself to caller be-
cause, indeed, she was doing something that
could just as well be done an hour hence
Life gains in proportion as it is responsive
and sympathetic. A human being is not a
machine. Fixed hours and correspondingly
uAtu uutles are Ill very Wei DC d ueCesslty,
and when a necessity should be strictly OBJ
served, as one may concede they usually are.
But that is necessity not desirabili,y. The
ideal life is that which has its freedom, ies
easy elasticity, its large possibilities of inclu
siveness, and where these can be attained and
commanded, 30 much the better. Work is
made for people, but people are not made for
work, in the sense of severe restriction ap-
piled by Mr.. Browne
The highest ideal of happiness is in social
intercourse the highest luxury of life is in
the responsive and sympathetic relations to
ones fellow-beings, and suppose it does take
time? How can time be better used? Prof
Drummond, in 1.-THE Greatest Thing in the
World" calls particular attention to the fact
that 80 much of the time of Jesus was spent
simply in doing kind things. ITO love album
dainty is to live abundantly." To live in
those easy, cordial relations that promote
love and good will is to touch the highest
standpoint in human experience. He who
puts the most into life. of generous and out
giving sympathies and interests, gets the
most out of life. He may end his days with
less money earned, or made, but he holds
treasure of more permanent and more salts
flying nature.

Feminine Foresight.

A significant side light was thrown upon
the question of portrait painting by con-
versation which was recently heard between
two Boston women. One of them remarked
that her Aunt Maria. woman as ugly as
she was wealthy, was intending 10 have her
portrait painted.
II tell her." the niece remarked, "that she
must have Mr.. x to do it."
"My DEAR" her friend responded, eff you
expect to be remembered in your Aunt
Maria's will, for heavens sake don't have
anything do with Mr.. KS painting her por-
trait"
"Why not, my dear p
"Why not Why, my dear child, he'll

and as she cannot vent her displeasure ON

her have Mr.. Y do it, and he will idealize il
so that it will be almost good looking"
81 dare say you are right" the niece re-
sponded thoughtfully.
"Of course am right. Besides, the pic
ture will probably descend to you, and you
had better have good looking one than one

The broken sentence was more significant
than novel. The two ladies looked at each
other in perfect understanding, and it was
arranged that Aunt Maria should be idealized

An Apt Repartee.

Quick wit and aptness for repartee often
stand in good stead to those who are deficient
in learning. The hero of this sketch had his
wits about him, although he may have been
lacking in legal intelligence.
Some years ago young man applied to the
District Court of Dallas, Texas, to be exam
ined to practice law. Alawyer was appoint.
ed to examine the qualifications of the candi-
date for admission to the bar. The young
man was rather deficient in Blackstone and
Greenleaf. 1t looked very much as though
he lacked the requisite preparation, and the
examining lawyer badgered him until bis
brow was beaded with perspiration.
"Do you know what fraud is in the judicial
sense of the word? ?" inquired the examining
attorney.
81 DON'T hardly think 1 do" was the
stammering reply.
"Well, fraud exists when man takes ad.
vantage of his superior knowledge to injure
an ignorant person."
$50 that's it is it? Then if you take adj.
vantage of your superior knowledge of law
to ask me questions that cannot answer,
owing to my ignorance, and in consequence
thereby am refused license, I will be in
jured, and you will be guilty of fraud.
Won't you, Judge?"
The lawyer was very thoughtful for a few
moments, and then added, refectively:
MY young friend, / preceive you have
great natural qualifications for the bar, and
shall recommend that a large, handsome en-
crossed and richly engraved license be grant
| ed you in spite of your ignorance"

A Funny Problem.

A writer in the Examiner tells the follow.
ing story: 1t was warm, sleepy afternoon
and the scholars in Miss Plummer's school
looked and acted as if they wished 4 O'Clock
would come quickly.
The class in mental arithmetic were lazily
droning through their lesson when Deacon
Day popped his cherry face at the door. All
the children loved him, and were glad when
he came to visit the school,
Perhaps he saw they needed something to
wake them up, so when the class was through
with the lesson he gave them this problem
"If eighteen cows were going through a
narrow gate where only one could pass at a
time, which cow could look back and say,
There are eleven pairs of horns behind me-"
The class thought busily for a minute, then
up came Tommy Tufts hand.
(Which one, Tommy" asked the deacon.
"The seventh"
"No."
Another minute ofstudy, then Celia Brown
put up her hand.
what do you think, Cellar
81 think it might be the eighth, for when
the COW turned to look back her own horns
would be behind her, wouldn't theys'
mo, it isn't the eighth" the deacon said.
About the same time little Johnny Harris
horn on the front seat began 10 smoker.
"What are you laughing at, johnny" ask
ed Miss Plummer.
"Cows-can't talk p giggled Johnny.
Deacon Day laughed, too, then.
Johnny has answered it," he said. "None
Of the cows could do it, ofcourse."
Then all the scholars laughed and woke up
for the rest of the day and Deacon Day bowed
himself out.

COntempt of Court.

A stranger once walked into Massachu-
sets court and spent some time watching
the proceedings. By and by man was
brought up for contempt of court and fined,
whereupon the stranger rose and said:
"How much was the finer"
"Five dollars" replied the clerkr
"Well," said the stranger, laying down the
money, "if that's all I'd like to jine in. I've
had a few hours experience of this court,
and no one can feel q greater contempt for 1t
than do, and am willing TO pay for it"

Hidden,

Hidden.
Down in our hawthorn meadow where
sometimes stray,
/ hear lone brook out of breath
Running away
To hide from all the prying eyes
OF garish day;
And under covert reed and rush
Singing its lay.
Yet God g sweet sky beamed in its face
As on 1t went,
Music as out of wings and winds
To it was lent;
Fragrance of mountains and deep woods
Was in its scent,
And Gods own flowers grew OH its banks
In glad content.
And thus gentle woman's life,
Unknown abroad,
May bless some still. secluded nook
Seen but of Cod
With tender flow of healing waves
BY "angels stIrred"-
With fragr ance of celestial bloom
In deed and word,
And music of the higher harp,
Set to life's chord,

matter Of supply is of vital Importance

county roads in Clatsop county than any
other man in the county; and, speaking
from experience, think that the above
estimate is away under the mark.
There is scarcely mile in Clatsop
county, outside of Clatsop plains, that
can be prepared for planking under s4O0
per mile. In one mile Of planking, ten
feet wide and three inches thick, there
are 1853, 400 feet Of lumber At S. per
thousand on the ground--a very low esti-
mate-we have 1892 and $500 to prepare
the road-bed, are 81 1872 per mile; and
this without nails or stringers or labor
for laying. 1t is my conviction that a
wagon road don't mean a sled road,
we have too many Of them already ten
feet wide, can't be built and planked
for less than 81 800 Per mile. l wish it
were otherwise. 1t is useless to spend
time in the contemplation of impossible
tiles. A road constructed of part plank
and part mud is child's play. There has
already been too many thousands spent
on miserably laid out roads in this county.

BOARD or TRADE.

The Board OF Trade is composed Of
about one hundred members, among
whom are the active and substantial bust
ness men of the city. The board was
organized for the promotion Of Aberdeen's
interests in particular and the harbor and
county generally, and is thoroughly pre-
pared to meet any emergency that may
arise.
The board will be glad at any time to
furnish general and particular informa-
ton to- any who may wish it, and any
request for the same will receive the i'm
mediate attention of the Secretary.

FOOD FISHERIES.

No inconsiderable item Of the natural
resources Of this region is its fisheries,
and the canning OF salmon, as noticed
elsewhere, is a profitable and growing in
dustry. The salmon are large, plentiful
and of unsurpassed quality. Some of the
different varieties are caught at all times
OF the year, and the home market is
always supplied. Rock and tom-cod,
white bass or porgies, founders, halibut,
and herring are also plentiful. Smelt and
American sardines are taken in great
numbers. These are the fish Of CONNER
cial Importance, but does not include
trout which are found in abundance.
Among shell-fish are shrimps, crabs
and CLAIMS Of several varieties. HOLSTERS
have been planted here and are propagat-
ing very rapidly.

AGRICUL TURE.

While this is timber country it must
not be supposed that agriculture is ne
elected; on the contrary, along the rivers
and streams many good farms have been
cleared off that produce the finest vege-
tables in the world, grass in immense
quantities and most excellent fruit. Many
varieties Of apples, pears, plums, prunes,
cherries and small fruits are grown in
profusion and great perfection.
The best grain crop in this section is
oats, after which wheat, rye, and barley.
Corn does not do well, nor any crop re-
quiring hot days and nights, as these we
do not have. Beside the home market,
we have all the world easy of access, but
the home demand is so great for all the
products of the country that there is at
present no need Of shipping abroad.
For dairying there is no country on
earth superior to this. With abundance
Of pure water, no hot weather and unex-
celled pasturage, there is at present every
condition for successful and profitable
dairying.

SALMON CANNERIES.

The Oldest industries of Aberdeen are
its salmon canneries, of which there are
three. One of these, during the last year,
on account of the rapid growth of the
city, has found its property SO valuable
that it has sold its site, but will rebuild
before the canning season in more re-
mote part of the city. The yearly output
of the three canneries is about 1000
cases, representing value of $4,000.
Other established industries include a
we'll equipped steam laundry, cigar fac
tory, employing five or six men, soda
works and many others.

FINANCIAL.

Aberdeen has two banking institutions,
the Aberdeen Bank and the First National
Bank. The first is an incorporated state
bank, organized in 'S7, and within the last
month has been reorganized with cap
ital stock Of $50, 900, increasing the num-
Der of stockholders from two to five, and
adding to their regular banking business
a savings bank department.
The First Rational Bank has paid up
capital of $50, 900 and its officers and
dlrectorSare among the leading financiers
Of the State.
The local deposits Of these banks are
from $4,000 to $150,OOO per month.
A local Building and Loan Association
has just been organized and in few
weeks will be prepared to furnish money
for the erection OF buildings in this city.

THE CLIMATE.

One of the chief questions asked, and
often. the first is, "What of your climate ?"
Well, many things 1t is not perfect, bu
probably as nearly SO as you will find on
this earth. During the winter of 189O-91
we had no snow up to the first of Febru-
airy, and then only few days Of cold and
known the thermometer stood at eighteen
degreese aboy zero.
The rainy season begins about the first
Of December and is over by the
first of April This is our winter and
during this time the rains, are no heavier
than in the month Of April in the middle
states Over half OF the days between
these dates are as warm and balmy as the
first OF June in most states north OF
mason and Dixon's line." Yards are
green, house plants bloom in the open
air, all kinds OF out door occupations are
pursued every day in the year. We
have no dangerous winds, no billiards,
no sudden changes from heat to cold, and
heavy thunder is unknown.

TAC4NT LANDS.

There is little Government land near
Aberdeen to be taken up, except in the
unserveyed districts to the north and a
small section Of country south Of the
haruur; OF this there is yet large
amount unoccupied. Actual possession
is the only title obtainable to unsurveyed
lands, but the settler in good faith has no
trouble to hold his claim.
From the tenor Of advices from Wash
ington City, it is believed there will be
sufficient money obtainable to survey all
these lands within a reasonable time,
rendering them soon available for entry.
