An Ideal Sleeping Room.

What shall we put into our sleeping
room? Nothing that cannot be cleansed or
renewed. The ideal sleeping room will
have neither paint nor paper on its walls
The woodwork will be of hard wood, fin
ished in oil or simply vanished. The
walls should be finished in hard plaster
and tinted; then they can be easily cleaned.
The windows will be low and of large size,
to let in all the sun and air possible. The
floor will be of hard wood, oiled or var
nished, and have the dust wiped up every
day. There will be fireplace, where a
little fire on the hearth in cold weather
will help ventilate, especially in case of
sickness.
We may have rugs on our floor as cheap
or costly as our purses will allow, but the
less we have the better the air. The draper
les at the windows will be of thin washable
material, and often washed. The furniture
will be light, without carvings to catch the
dust. Stuffed chairs, lounges and wooden
hangings will not find a place here. A set
bowl with bot and cold water, is very con-
venient, but not always safe, therefore leave
it in the bathroom; have portable one in
the sleeping room and be on the safe side.

Fencing in France and England.

Whence comes the supereXcellence of the
French in the matter of 'armeS blanchesg"
IL is due to combination of causes. Set
ting aside the not inconsiderable reason for
the study of arms in the liability of every
Frenchman to find himself compelled to
use his sword in serious earnest, fencing as
fine art has been specially favored by the
rulers of the country from the days of
Charles TX until everything monarchical
was destroyed by the great revolution,
whereas in England it has been left to
struggle by itself

fashion of fencing with the foil, as he did

them graceful and not because he regarded
either of them as sport. The French

exercise to the sale d'armes or gymna-

form of those outdoor amusements which

Several Useful Aprons.

convenient and pretty housekeeping
apron is made of striped blue and white
linen, with all the edges on the bib belt
and pocket of bias bindings of dark blue
cambria. The apron is made long enough
20 nearly cover the dress and the skirt
hearty meets in the back. The wide and
high bib is fulled into band at the top,
and is held in place by bias shoulder
strap, piped with blue, that begins at the
belt in the back and fastens to the corners
of the bib in front with buttons and button
holes. The skirt of the apron, instead of
being gathered into the usual band, has a
band that is shaped like pointed yoke in
front.
A charming little afternoon apron is of
brocaded white China silk, with an ap-
plique border of heavy white lace across
the foot and sides of the apron. The lace
is carried up to a point in the middle of
the front of the apron and gradually mar
rows on the side; at the top the silk is
turned in and shirred, with a heading an
inch wide White or colored ribbon is used
to fasten the apron. This apron is quite as
dressy and useful when made of black
China silk.
A bathroom apron, that mother has
found most serviceable when giving her
little ones a bath, consists of large square
of flannel, heavy and twilled. The deep
hem is feather stitched with silk, and has
n spray of flowers in silks worked in one
corner. The top is finished so that the
ribbon run in it for a belt can be easily
taken out when it goes to the laundry. A
daintier apron is made from fine white
lawn ties, with embroidered ends set to-
gether with German Valenciennes lace. A
pair of the ties are used for the strings

Lists of Peoples Names.

I'VE frequently have demands made
upon US for lists of names that we are abso-
lutely unable to fill" said member of one
of the business address companies of the
city recently
1T is, of course, an easy matter for us to
supply the names and addresses of nearly
every man engaged in any particular pro-
fession or calling in the country. We esti-
mate that we can furnish about 600, 200
names, if any one should want that num-
Der 1t has, of course, been the work of
years to collect these, and then they need
frequent revision to bring them up to date.
THE orders that we are unable to fill are
such as these: One day man came in
here and asked me calmly enough for the
address of all the redheaded men in the
country. OF course was unable to help
him, for there is no means known to me of
collecting such information.
THE mans reason was that he desired
to send circulars recommending a hair
bleach that he claimed would, without in
jury to the capillary growth act chemical
ly upon the pigment and turn the same a
dark brown. He assumed, of course, that
red haired men were all sensitive of the
fact, and would, if they could without in
jury, change its natural shade.
THAT is but one of several cases. con-
tinued the man. For instance, we have
had an application for the names of all men
having suffered amputation of the limbs
This came from dealer in newly pat
ented composition for artificial limbs A
manufacturer of glass eyes once sent in for
the names and addresses of men blind in
one eye. We have had other requests of a
similarly ridiculous nature. New York

The Education of Inquiry.

There is no such educator as bright
boy or girl in intimate association with ia
Their or mother-none which teaches SO
much or disciplines the mind or character
SO wholesomely. If you be too indolent OF
churlish to answer the child's questions, if
you self indulgently bid him begone abors
his play instead of seeking honestly to sup
ply the cravings of his young intelligence
YOU rob him of much that is his just due
but you deprive yourself of still more.
If you are incapable Of the loving sym
pathy which makes such converse between
parent and child joy to both, you are not
worth educating. There is no better com
panion for any man with good stuff in him
than his own child is.-New York World.

The Election.

The latest returns from the state indi-
cate the election of the Republican ticket
by about the usual majority. In Multno-
nah county, some on the local Independ-
ent ticket were elected, but it gave about
1000 majority on state and district Off
cials.
The latest news from Sherman point to
the success of the Republican ticket by
majoritles ranging from 35 to l25. The
legislative ticket has about so majority.
Gillian county Is slightly Republican;
but Bradshaw, Democratic candidate for
circuit judge, has majority from 30 to
35.
BY the most careful estimate, Watkins,
Republican candidate for circuit judge,
leaves Gillian, Sherman and Wasco
counties with $50 majority, and no word
is heard from Crook, which must be re-
ceived by stage. As Prineville, the coun-
ty seat, is l25 miles distant, it will be i'm
possible to receive the returns until this
evening. In all counties heard from,
Wilson, Republican candidate for prose-
cutting attorney, has received large major
tiles, which cannot be overcome by any
majority which his opponent may receive
in Crook.

OREGON WEATHER SERVICE,
In Cooperation With u. - Weather
Bureau, of the Department OF
Agriculture.

Central Office Portland, Oregon. Crop
Weather Bulletin, No. 10, for s0eek ending
Tuesday. June Z, 1899:
Reports throughout the state indicate
that the cereal crop will not be up to thai
of last year neither in quantity or quail
ity, though the general prospects for this
years crop are above the average; this is
due to the poor condition of the soil when
summer fallowed in 1891, to the cool, wet
and backward spring.
The fruit crop will be short in every
portion of the state, due to the frosts and
cold rains of April. The hop crop bids
fair to be an average Oh, while the hop
lice are making their appearance, indi-
eating rayages by them as bad as last
year, unless checked. The hay crop,
grain, clover, timothy and alfalfa will be
unusually ge,due to the rains and tenn
perature since March 1st. The lamb
crop and wool clip are unusually large,
while the latter is Of excellent quality.
EASTERN OREGON.
Weather-Cooler temperature, with oc-
casional showers or light sprinkles of
rain and partly cloudy weather have pre-
vailed. Frosts were general south of the
Columbla River valley on the I'd, dong
some damage to potatoes, fruit, corn and
cereals. Ice formed In many localities.
Brisk, dry winds have prevailed.
Crops-The cool weather, has been very
beneficial TO wheat, allowing the fall
wheat to head more fully, and assisting
the spring wheat to better stand and
helping both to recoup from the effects of
the hot weather of May 22d and oath.
Some of the wheat has been blighted,
though a good general rain would do
the Grand Ronde valley there appears to
have been no damage done and all pros
poets are good. The wheat crop will be
short in Umatilla county and westward 10
the Cascades, unless more rain falls with
in two weeks. Royal Ann cherries are
ripening at The Dalles. The general
fruit interests are about an average, and
with favorable weather fair crop will be
secured.
The cool weather has checked the melt
ing of the snow in the mountains and all
rivers have been falling, though slowly,
for five days.

A Terrible Accident.

\ Yesterday morning VIM. NJ. Hoag, oi
the Oregon Pacific, was taken to Yaquina
Bay on special train. E. W. Beeman
had charge of the train, with G. b.
Laughead in charge of the engine, and
Jud Ross as fireman. As the train
rounded the curve at bridge II about a Il
miles this side of Yaquina City the en-
| gineer was horritied to see hand car
load of people just in front of the train.
He reversed the engine and turned the
sand box on to the rails; but 1t was too
late the engine struck the loaded car amid
| the screeches and cries OF the occupants.
The car was carrying Mr.. Pruett, the sec
ton boss, his wife and several little chill
dren, Mr.. Manning, the blacksmith, wife
and children, and Mr.. Jake Devine,
eleven IN all. They were on an excur-
sion trip up the road, and did not hear
the usual whistle of the engine as it ap
preached. Mr.. Pruett instantly put on
the brakes. This act instantly threw
Mrs. Pruett, who was sitting on the front
of the car, directly off under the ap-
preaching train. The rest were raised
from the track and thrown to one side.
Mrs. Pruett's head was cut off, also both
legs, and her body was rolled In ball
under the engine, presenting horrible
spectacle. Mr.. Pruett and Mr.. Devine
were practically upiDjured; but it was
feared the former might go insane from
grief. A 5-year-old boy of Mr.. Pruett
had one leg broken ana foot mashed,
so badly as to require amputation, and
may die. He is said to have stood the
pains IN very heroic manner. A 2-year-
old child had terrible hole made in the
head, and died to day. Mr.. Manning had
one leg broken, and bis wife an arm
broken, was injured internally, and had
one side paralyzed. A little girl of
theirs was killed, making ct least three
fatalities. and probably four by, the acci-
dent. Surgeons were sent for-Drs.
Rich, Davis and Smith responding
all done that was possible for the unfor-
tunate people. The accident is the worst
in the history of the road, as terrible as
often occurs. No blame was attached to |
those IN charge Of the train. 1t Is strange |
that it was not known that special was
coming. The accident cast deep gloom |
over the bay country.
