Good Advice.

The late Uncle Rufus Hatch left some
thing more than few hundred thousand
of dollars to his children. He bequeathcd
them some good advice which they
ought to remember. In his viii he says:
do not wish my boys to go to college, but to
receive a commercial education. Should any
of them, however, wish TO become a lawyer,
doctor or clergyman, then he may go to coll
lege, but much prefer that my sons should
learn a mechanical trade so that they will
always be sure of an honest livelihood
l most strongly warn my children not to use
tobacco in any shape or form, nor touch, taste
or use wine or liquor in any way.
/ earnestly desire that my children shah lot
gamble in any way for money, as their td'her
has had experience sufficient to SerUe for al pus-
teritg.
The last words of the quotation are
italicized. They should be given as
much publicity as possible. The dark
est hour of young mans life is when he
imagines there is an easier way to get a
dollar than to work for it honestly.

with them, and they are set eight rods
distant from each other, allowing about
100 hens to the acre. By means of an
improved feedbox any number Of 1oclrs
can be fed simultaneously, each in its
own house, by simply pressing an cleo
trio button. The doors can be opened
or closed in the same way.
Each house is 10 feet long by 10 wide,
feet high in front and 8 feet 4
inches in the rear. The floor and roof
are of matched spruce, and the siding is
of matched pine. The roof is covered
with 2-ply tarred roofing aelt, and the
sides are lined with singlka ply tarred
paper. The floor, is coveret n winter
with good coating of dry earth. This
is to stop any drafts from coming up
through the floor, and also to provide
good dust bath for the hens. The roof
should be painted occasionally with coal
tar. Once year is sufficient. An hours
sun shining on the black surface will
warm up the inside of the house almost
equal to glass, and it will hold the heat
much better. The first cut shows the
plan of one house facing to the east.
The second cut shows the feeding
trough used for the morning feed. If
one takes an ordinary feeding trough
and lays wide board over it after he
has put in the feed, the hens will find it
impossible to get into the feed with their
feet or to deposit any droppings in it.
If now you raise the board q few inches,
their breakfast is ready. Now raise the
trough few inches from the floor, and
it takes a lively !Biddy to scratch any
litter from the Eabr into it. Tho cover

A VERY Dun Animal.

Probably no animal in the world spends
more of its life among trees than the sloth,
which is a native of the tropical forests OF
South America 1t lives among the trees
feeds on their leaves and sleeps suspended
from bough or huddled up at the point
where the branch meets the trunk 1t does
not walk along the branches, but clings
from them back downward Fairly active
by night, it spends its day in sleep, and
having little need to cultivate intelligence
is one of the dullest of creatures. Its chief
enemy is the snake, which is enabled to at
tack it in its own quarters When it has
stripped one tree Of its foliage, it moves on
to the next by Selling an adjoining branch,
but should this not be possible it must per
force come to the ground, on which it walks
most clumsily, and climb afresh.

STORIES ABOUT BEARS.

A Black Bear and a Brown Bear That liked
to Play with Children.
Some bears are very fond OF play 1t il
said that, taking advantage OF this weak
ness, hunters sometimes tie logs OF wool IN
the trees 80 that they will swing freely
The bears find them and sit orloui4 s7riag
ing them back and forth While tAus en-
ployed they become easy prey to the hunters.
A story is told of Il little girl who was lost
for several hours and who was finally found
in the pen of tame black bear In looking
at the bear she had fallen into the pen, and
the bear evidently thought she had come Is
play with him. Instead of tearing her &c
pieces, as he easily could have done, be took
her in his arms, almost tenderly rs her Own
mamma could have done The story may be
true, for the black bear is OF playful dis
position, except when it is attacked or
when driven by fear or hunger The same
is true of the brown bear.

Another incident of the same nature is
vouched for as having really occurred by
the author of a book on Siberia: Two chill
dren, one and the other years of age, had
wandered away from their home. After a
little time they were missed by their par
ents, who at once set out in search of them.
TO their horror they found their children
engaged III play with large brown bear,
and they were all having jolly time. One
of the children was feeding his great shaggy
playmate with fruit, while the other had
climbed on his back and was having ride
The mother screamed on seeing the appar
ent dagger of her children, upon which the
little fellow slid off his back. and the bear
trotted away into the woods

Rhode Islands Abandoned Farms.

According to report from the COM
missioner Of industrial statistics for
Rhode Island, there are in that state 81
abandoned farms. Upon the majority
of these, it is said, even the grass is not
cut. In the localities OF these deserted
farms it appears that there is regular
drain upon them for nil help, which
has been in good demand. -'2oa, toe,

in the first cut is placed the electrical

this, and also to operate a slide which
covers an opening in the bottom OF the

DOLPH CALLED TO ACCOUNT.

The Corvallis Times calls upon
Senator Dolph to be a little more
consistent. 1t says as follows:
'sYou have just introduced bill
in the senate asking that machin-
cry for the state Of Oregon be ad-
mitted free Of duty, How is this,
Senator? You and your party pro-
fess to believe and you have repeat
edly proclaimed from the stump
IN this state, that the foreign man
ufacturer, and not the consumer,
pays the duty, Your bill, Senator,
gives the lie to your profession of
faith and shows that you not only
believe, but know, that if your bill
fails to become a law the state of
Oregon will have to pay the duty.
1t is a clear admission, sir, that the
consumer in every case, and that
the foreign manufacturer in no
case, pays the duty. And now,
Senator, since you are compelled to
admit that it is good for the state
Of Oregon to eecape import duty on
her jute mill machinery, will you
not also admit that it would be
equally good for her toiling, plod-
ding citizens to likewise escape the
same dreadful tariff tax which is
extorted from them every day in
the week and every hour in the
day? You are not honest, Senator.
The day that you introduced that
bill you admitted the insincerity Of
your political faith.

yon can tread in safety. Add an
other section to your bill. Let it
provide that all necessities of life
shal! be admitted into the United
sates free Of duty. Then buy a

Nsrown of your plug hat and for
q your life be consistent. If
Muse to do this, sit down and
for tffs rest Of your term keep
quiet. Be content to warm your
seat and draw your salary. Don't

An exchange remarks that the
people who need more religion are:
The man who let's his horse stand
all day in the rain, without a blan-
ket; the man who growls like a
beast with a sore head when his
wife asks him for money; the wom-
an who whispers around that some
other is not what she ought to be;
the preacher who is always looking
for an easier place at a higher sala-
ry; the man who walks the streets
with his hands in his pockets while
his wife carries the baby, and the
man who keeps dog and says he
can't afford to take the home paper.

COMPROMISE.

After weeks Of weary deliberatlon
the Senate finds itself no further
advanced toward the silver qtiss-
ti0n than when it first started. In
fact the breach between silver and
gold has steadily widened until it
Heems that the vital forces Of the
country will be crushed between
the great rival money standards.
The people have wearied Of the
question, and are beginning to look
upon the Senate as useless and
pernicious branch Of our govern
nent.
on the many compromise plans
suggested, the latest and probably
the best is that introduced by Sen
ator Squire, Of Washington, on the
fUth l..st. iglis bill provides that
the owners of silver bullion, the
product Of mines or refneries of
the United States, may deposit it
at any mint in an amount not less
chan 500 in value, to be coined
into standard dollars Of the present
weight. There will only be paid
to the person depositing the bullion
such Il number Of dollars as will
equal the commercial value Of the
silver bullion on the day Of depos-
It, the difference between the com
snercial value and the mint value
to be retained by the government
as seigniorage. Deposits Of bullion
for coinage shall not exceed W, ,00O,-
GOO per month, and when the num-
ber Of silver dollars coined shall
reach the sum Of $l00,00O,000, fur
ther coinage shall cease. The
seigniorage shall be retained in the
treasury as a reserve fund for the
purpose Of maintaining the purity
Of every dollar issued under thif
act. These silver dollars are to be
isgaI tender in all payments at full
value, and no certificates will be is
sued to represent them.

ton Of Ireland.
Mr. John Redmond Parnelite), moved

closure. II was carried by a vote Of 2n
TO 2i1.
The division on the amendment caused
considerable excitement as 1t was re-
ported that the Radicals as we'll as the
Parnellites were likely to go with the
opposition. Among the Radicals who
voted against the Government was
Henry LabOuchere. Sir Charles Dixie re-
Trained from voting. The Parnellites
supported the amendment. The only ex-
ception was Timothy Harrington. who
was absent. Thp McCarthyites sup
ported the Government. The result was
the rejection Of the amendment by a
vote OF 2i0 to 200. The committee then
rose. and the House adjourned
