The interest in the approaching kerniss
is fast becoming universal not only on &C.
count Of the novelty of the exhibition but
because of the enormous benefits deserving
humanity will receive from the proceeds
realized. One of the most attractive features
of the entertainment will be the banquet
hall, which is under the skillful management
of Mr.. j. j. POoler. Excellent dinners and
suppers will be served dnrlng the three days
OF the festival at the very moderate rates of
thirty-five and twenty five cents respective
ly. There are to be twelve tables, each with
handsome individual decorations presided
over by twelve lady members of the associ-
alton. There will be an almost unanimous
contribution of elaborate exhibits from the
merchants. and many are the liberal dona-
lions that have been promised. Prominent
ly among these latter may be mentioned the
munificence of Messrs. Schlotterbeck & Foss,
who have volunteered to furnish all the ice
cream and sherbet used during the kermiss.
This is most generous act on the part of
this we'll known firm and one thoroughly APP

The Eoyhood of Professor Lyman.

The following from sketch of Professor
Chester S. Lyman in the Popular Science
Monthly shows what a boy who has only
ordinary opportunities, can do If he only
sets out.
he had in his boyhood only the advantages
OF common country school. and, like other
country boys, alternated going to school
with working on the farm. Before he was
nine years old he evinced unusual mechani-
cal ingenuity, making many curious toys,
windmills. water.wheels,. and the like.
which rendered him fav0rite with his
playmates. he also begun soon to show
great interest in astronomy and the kindred
sciences, which was first awakened by an in
tense couriosity to know how common al
manac was made. Books of all kinds In
that town were than rare, and of scientific
books there were almost none; but he man.

time either studying, entirely without assis-

PORTLAND, FEB. 25, 1891.
T>HESE are the days
Il of elaborate decora-
tons of the home.
The house is to be made
beautiful, and the study is
to make it harmonios and
elegant without extrava-
gance. The highest art is
not necessarily the highest
price. Artistic effects are
produced in the common
est fabrics. Beauty and
harmony can be had for
very little if you put
thought into the choosing.
Taste in selecting materi-
ais and applying contrasts
of color brings the desired
result and the surprise is
often at the small outlay
that's required to do it.
1t is a superb collection
our draperies room is
showing now.
The variety of handsome
standings for windows,
hangings for doorways,
curtains for bed steads,
drapings for easels and
other devices for adjoining
apartments of every use
and character, was never
greater. Some high novel
ties in chenille portiere cur
talns have just come in
and they're shown in a va
riety of new colorings.
Don't forget that we're
making every possible ef-
tort to get your trade in

Suggestion Regarding the Marshal.
ship,

To the Editor of the Press:
Now that there seems to be so much inter-
est manifested as to who will be our next
mayor would suggest that the interests of
the city of Portland demand man for may
or who first of all will select man for city
marshal who has some knowledge of the
criminal classes of our city. and who has had
some experience either as detective or pc
llceman in our midst.
:. A man who has not been educated In po-
lice business is no better adapted for city
marshal than is a landsman as master of a
man -of-war vessel
The above views are meant to be present
eo LOT consideration by the coming mayor In
case he deems IL advisable to choose a new
City marshal. J. M FLOYD
