Royalty In Wigs.

. It seems that the hair on the heads
OF royal ladies turns gray quite like
that Of ordinary mortals. This
discovery arises from discussion
over the guardianship OF the Princess
OF Wales, whom verybody here has
grown accustomed to think of as
possessing the trick Of perpetual
youth. Mr.. Labouchere has, however,
pointed out that she wears q wig.
and it appears that this is constructed
by an artistoffabulous craftsmanship.
whose identity is a profound state
secret. The ex-Queen Isabella is said
however, to have obtained his ad dress
by frankly throwing herself on the
mercy Of the gentle-hearted Princess,
with the result that her iron-gray
crown OF once raven hair is now re-
placed by jaunty, short, chestnut
curls. Moved by envy Of these, the
present Queen Regent Of Spain. the
Austrian Christina, upon whose youth
toll and trouble have imposed rreaa-
ture grayness, is said ais. to have
lmplored the privilege OF sharing the
secret, and, in Consequence, will shortly
dazzle Madrid with child-like locks.

another substantiating instance of
this assertion. After. learning that
the principal chief had refused to par

sentence the old lady was wild with
grief and determined to 60 to the chief
in person and make last appeal to
him for their lives. The distance
from Mrs. Sixkiller's home in Going
Snake district to Chief Mayes's resi-
dence on Grand River is not less than
ninety miles. Although an aged and
feeble woman of 70 years she made
this long journey afoot and alone.
And all in vain!
Her pleadings with the stern old
chief came to naught, and the heart
broken mother was back at this place

fatigue. She had waded creeks and

A Champion Oarsman Tells How to
r. .....u... Win Races.
When am in training, writes Ed
ward Hanlin, in The Ladies' Home
Journal, I get up at six or half-past
six, walk one mile running perhaps two
hundred yards at a stiff speed,
sufficiently to get my wind. Then
return and take light shower-bath,
after which my man rubs me down
with flesh gloves, rubbing in all dir
ections. Afterwards he goes over
me with his hands and then fans me
dry with towel. I then rest for
twenty minutes before sitting down
to breakfast. I eat for this meal some
fruit and small steak, and drink a
glass OF milk and cream. After sitting
around for an hour, go for a two or
three miles walk. Then l 60 to my
boathouse and am rubbed down.
After this take spin over the course,
rowing from twenty-six to thirty-two
strokes a minute. This is simply an
exercise row. The rubbing process is
gone over again whenI return. For
dinner, I have raost beef or mutton,
sometimes a fowl with vegetables.
[ rest untilhalf-past two, take walk,
and then 60 for another exercise row.
Once or twice aweek I take 'sspeeder"
over the course. One thing amateurs
should bear in mind: never leave your
race on the river, that is, never row
six races a week before the day OF the
race comes. It stands to reason that
no man can row as hard as he is able,
each day, and be in better condition
the day OF the race than when he began
training.

A Horse With A MouStache.

There may be seen in Cannon Street..
at frequent intervals during the day,
a horse that would make a comfort
able living for its owner if placed on
exhibition in museum. Neither horse
nor master, however, seems to be i'm
bued with a desire for fame, and the
former is content apparently to serve
out his days at his allotted task of
drawing a VAN about the City,.
is an ordinary-sized grey horse,
with a most amiable cast of counten-
ance, and with nothing remarkable
about him except the possession of a
large and well-shaped moustache
The later is kept carefully trimmed
and brushed by the owner of the
horse, but the possessor of this IN
usual appendage seems to pay but
little attention to it.. He has never
been known, at least. to- stroke it as
men do, but by watching him closely
it may be observed that he eyes it
occasionally In a, critical sort OF a
way.
He is six years DID,. and was born
in France, but, so far as, can be learn
ed, he is the only member of his fam
lily who has ever been blest with
either moustaehe. or whiskers. On the
contrary, his fathers lip was without
suspicion OF q hair, and his mother,
OF course, was a stranger to such. a
thing.

A Wonderful Sense of Smell.

The buzzard's wonderful sense of
smell is a curious subject that has
been often discussed, the discussion
having resulted in % general uniform
ity OF opinion among scientists that
they locate their food by their sense
of smell alone. C. L. Hopkins the
noted biologist, says that he noticed
that in Florida they never leave the
roots where the night is spent, especi-
a lly on damp fosey morn inss, until
the moisture has been dried by the
sun. They then move slowly across
the wind until a sssscent" is struck,
when they move more slowly sup
the wine" until the carrion is located.
Sometimes they will drift down the
wind past their prey, until they have
struck the scent, which they follow up
until they have found the object OF
their search, sometimes in the densest
thiekets. Mr.. Hopkins says that he
has upon several occasions killed
wild hogs in the thiekets, and, after
dressing onem and taking what meat
he wished. would see twenty or moro
buzzards coming down with the wind.
On one occasion they had discovered
some animal remains he had covered
up, and on another had found q dead
snake which he had buried.

PAN IN THE ORCHARD.

He carved a flute Of elder green.
And notched it well and true,
Then pursel his lips and puffed his cheeks
And merrily he blew.
For it was spring-time holiday,
"A sun-tanned boy was he
With russell freckles on his face
And patch upon his knee.
The apple boughs above him flung
Their tangled sprays on high
With one dark, bristling blue-jay nest
Rough-sketched against the sky.
He knew the secrets of the grass,
The burden Of the hour,
He saw the fierce, bluff bumblebee,
ToWse many a clover flower
Orphaned and poor as poor could be,
The years before him lay
Dark pillows of an unknown sea,
No lighthouse on the way
And yet, and yet his elder flute
Could bring him comfort true;
He pursed his lips and puffed his cheeks
And blew, and blew! and blew!

JUST NOW.

Plump within the pods the peas are,
Currants CLEAN in garden tracks,
Vessels on the open seas are
Ripe with anglomaniacs.
Melons from the Southern States are
Hither hieing fast and thick,
in the schools the graduates are
Counted ripe enough to pick
To the seaside now the firts are
On their summer mission bent,
And the athletes Numbered shirts are
Sentenced to retirement.
Feathers dropping from the hen are,
Dogs with muZzles now appear,
And the pedal parts of men are
Looking positively queer. ..
Now the cholera morbus germs are
Whooping up their seasons "biz,"
And the divers brands OF worms are
Perforating natures phiz.

Fans are Tapping titfully
Wire doors and windows hung are,
And the iceman ought to be.

told in a New York letter to the. Phil

with mortal disease and it was pub
licly announced in the newspapers.
He had some. heart trouble which did
not prevent friends, from seeing him,
but it was known it would. end his life
in a brief Time. He, had been sick
for some five weeks when one day the
Rev. DR.. Arn1itage called. He was
shown into Chapin's room and found
the distinguished Clergyman lyingupon
a sofa. When he saw Armltage he
burst into tears, and DR.. Armitage
was surprised. Chaplin said: "Doc-
tor, can't help these tears, but they
express gladness rather than sorrow.

protested friendship fornae. who called

The Dufur public school will open the
first Monday in September and continue
ten months. The board of directors
have furnished the house for the accom-
mediation of over 100 pupils. Mr.. A.
Frazier is retained as principal. The
classes in this school for the coming year
in addition to the common branches will
include algebra, geometry, natural phil
osophy, general history and rhetoric.
This is Mr.. Frazier's third consecutive
yearfn this school. Uuder his princi-
palship it has kept steadily growing in
favor with the public and in the number
of pupils. There is, in fact, no more
successful public school in the country.
Dufur is a delightful little village where
pupils can find board at very reasonable
rates and where they will be surrounded
with more than ordinary good moral and
religious influences.

MARKET REVIEW.

THURSDAY, August Is, 1891.
The business of the city for the past
week is without interest, and prices re-
main unchanged. The general topics
are finances and the wheat situation and
market prospects, which we give in this
column.
In brokers' circles the finance question
is of an easy character. The demand
for loans are less frequent than they
were last spring and the money market
is more or less quiet on that account.
The harvest, which is on hand and with
the prospect of fair average of pro-
duct and prospective high prices to be
realized, will ease obligation and give a
new impetus to all kinds of trade and
Improvements.
WHEAT OUTLOOK oE THE WORLD.
That there is shortage of breadstuffs
throughout the world is fact beyond
contradiction. All reports from Europe
are confirmed and the deficiency which
is necessary for the actual need, is great
er than at first supposed. 1t is variously
estimated that it is from 300, 1000, 900 to
619, 100000 bushels, but, however this
may be, enough is known that all the
reserves and surplus will be required,
and then the demand is not supplied.
Russia has already issued her ukase
forbidding the export of rye or rye -four,
which is the breadstuff of the empire,
and that the utmost care must be OBJ
served to prevent starvation within her
borders. India is threatened with a
home market for nearly all her surplus
as the dl louth has been severe on a large
portion OF her agricultural districts. The
Daubian provinces have fair crops, but
England whose prospects have been very
fiattering, is suffering from continued
stormy weather, and the latest dis
patches report no favorable change in
the outlook. We append the following
from Bradstreet's correspondent which is
considered authority:
New YORK, Aug. 8.-Bradstreet's Lon
don correspondent has forwarded re-
port on the condition of wheat abroad,
which indicates that Europe will have
to import about 2S1, 900 900 bushels this
year. He states that with respect to
Russia the most contradictory reports
have been issued, but there is no doubt
the wheat crop is a big failure in many
parts of the empire, and that it would be
safe estimate to assess it at Is per cent
less than last years crop. Latest re-
ports of the Hungarian minister of agri-
culture indicates reduction of 20 pei
cent. for the current harvest in Austria.

the prospect. He allows $4,000 ,OOC
bushels for the new crop of the United
Kingdom and estimates the following as
the amounts which will be needed by
the several countries mentioned:

Portland Telegram
Why is it that the chamber of COM
merce cannot undertake the work of
building the portage road? If the road
can be built and equipped for 5000, ,Oo0,
what is the necessity of giving $3.50, 900 to
another corporation to build it? The
citizens of Portland ought to build the
road and own it. And if the narrow
gauge is adopted, it will be small mat
ter to build branches and extensions
into all the fine sections, and thus keep
the wheat trade forever tributary to
