Pruning of Annie Trees,

The best time to prune apple trees de-
ponds largely on the manner in which
it is performed. If the superhuous
growth is kept rubbed or pinched off as
itappears, it may be done all through the
growing season. Where it is necessary
to remove larger growth, the best time
is late in winter or very early in spring
before the buds begin to swell. Keep
down or cut away sprouts, and thin out
the top of tree so as to leave open head,
which the air and light can penetrate.

PORTLAND MARKET.
A Resume of the Condition of Its Diff
ferent Departments.

Business continues fair in the wholek
sale district. Shipping orders were large
and receipts of produce and fruit were
about the average. The fruit market is
heavily stocked with grapes, and peaches
are in large supply. Apples and pears
are also plentiful, rather more so than
the demand warrants. The season for
plums and prunes is about over, and the
fruit is growing scarce. Tropical fruit is
not plentiful, nor is there much demand
for 1T. Ounces are in fair supply. The
vegetable market is well stocked, and
prices are firm and the demand good.
Business IN the grocery line has been
very good the past week, and prices on
staples were firm and steady. The wool
market is weak, and there is but little
doing in the way of real business. Hides
are dull. There is not much doing To-
cally in hops, and prices are weak.
WHEAT.
There is little that is new to be chron-
lcled In the local market, which has re-
lapsed into a dull, easy condition under
the influence of weak cables from Eu-
rope. Stocks on hand are not large, and
shippers are doing very little buying,a
except for delivery later on. Quotations
are nominal. London advices show a
further decline Of I'd in cargoes, with the
market quite inactive. Other European
markets are dull, but nominally steady.

the Appletree Cove in Kitsap county, Wash. was returning home from a visit to her uncle's house. about half mile from her home. She had only got about half way when she suddenly be- came aware of the presence of big black bear. standing within few feet of the trail and apparently waiting for her to come closer Womanlixe her first impulse was to scream at the top of her voice; her second, to start for home at the fullest speed along the trail.
 The bear, apparently scared by the shriek, started on n parallel track in the same direction, over fallen logs and through thick brush. The race was a neck-and-neck one, both contestants making good time.
 Finally, on arriving at the young ladys home, the bear politely passed around by the back into the woods, while the other contestant passed like a whirlwind into the front room by the open door and fell in heap on the floor. She did not go into mysteries or indulge in any such civilized foolish ness. but suggested to her father as soon as she got her second wind that he might as well take his gun and look for that bear instead of standing there asking foolish questions, Of such mettle are the maidens of Washington.

Village Of Rornances.

Sanborn is quaint little New York village and is swept by the placid waters of the Hudson, which at that point narrows down to modern good sized creek. The place has been prolific with queer happenings, strange roman ces and everything else that introduces the odd phase of human life. The latest strange case developed is of the Enoch Arden order.
 In 1860 Thomas Tisdale, with wifo and four children, lived in Canadian village. This year he was engaged as escort to fishing party to Georgian Bay, and when the party returned lis dale was reported as having left them in row boat, and nothing was heard from him since. It was presumed that he was lost among the many islands in the bay and drowned. After several years, as Tisdale did not return to his family, Mrs. Tisdale accepted the theory of his death and married William Davis. In about four years the second husband died, and the widow married MT. Copeland, of Tonawanda. A few days ago Tisdale appeared at Sanborn, and Mrs. Copeland being sent for iden- tified him as her long-missing first husband. Present indications are that the third husband will have to relin- quish his wife and that she will join her fortunes with Tisdale.

A simple and efficient burner which
 may be readily applied to various shapes of stoves, and is designed to fur nish great heat at small cost, is shown in the accompanying illustra- tior. Bolted to and extending entirely around the inner side of the stove casing is a narrow Hanged ledge, upon which rests the stack. having a curved and forwardly projecting hinged back.
 Within the stack is an oil box, sup ported upon transverse bar, suspended by bolts from the ledge, the distance between the bar and ledge being adjustable.
 The oil box has a central oil chamber in its upper face and vertical fanges around it's edges, while feed pipe ex- tending through an opening in the front of the stove easing bends up wardly through an aperture in the base of the box, the upper end of the pipe having lateral perforations in a chamber beneath the deflector, which fits closely between the fanges of the oil box. The defector fits within and is bolted to the flanges of the oil box,
