audience, some of whom were pleased,
while the Others. were some what dissap-
pointed. James b. Mackie, as "Grime-

is laughabe. He is a comedian of
reputation, but the role he assumes is
certainly not suited for him. A matinee

A WELL.DRESSED WOMAN.
Ehe Art of Making a Little Go a Long
Way.

The woman who, as the saying is,
can "make a good appearance" on a
small income has need of constant
watchfulness and care She must never
buy what are knwn as novelties, nor
aspire to keep abreast OF the whims
and vagaries of fashion. She can, how
ever, always find certain staple colors
and a.. les OF goods which will make
into s . garments quite up 20 date
withc '1g conspicuously odd And
these To- ings she cannot afford, for
the .G,..v.4 that the article Of dress is
to be worn long time, and should
not be too easily remembered.
Out of season and for various causes,
beautiful trimmings and "short
lengths" can be secured and skillfully
combined by the president, who are
not to be tempted by any specious
claims, nor by poor article, nor by
one they are not likely to need, because
it is cheap. There is great deal of
superior wisdom manifested at the ex-
pense of bargain hunters. They may
Zoe silly, as well as the rest of us, but
they may also be as wise Cheap gloves
and cheap shoes the latter class will
avoid, remembering that the we'll
dressed woman has her hands and her
feet daintily clad, whatever else she
economies on.
A rich dry goods merchant said to
his wife once: ~ don't see why it is
you don't dress as we'll as before we
were married, butyou certainly don't F."
The reply was accompanied by little
laugh: II don't see, either, except
that before was married I had sim
ply no money to dress on" What
neither one saw, was the true explain
alton Before she had money-and a
husdand-she selected her clothes with
a vast deal of anxiety. Now he did the
selection, and with no more thought
than whether thing was handsome,
rich and fashionable.
In choosing anything, from para
sol to an evening gown, three questions
should be asked herself by the imps-
cunious and would-be good dresser
els it b, oming? Is 1T inconspicuious?
Will it ear well?" A sort of eight
mourni !" is, perhaps, the most in
expensi of elegant attire. It absolves
one FROM many changes, yet there is
variety enough within its range that
it may not bore the wearer or her

Ford declared the bill gives one man

be paid out of the county treasury, and
the amount to be a lien upon the land.
I'VE ought" he said, Ito pass bill To
protect our farmers from these horticul-
tural fellows" He moved to indeti-
nitely postpone, but the motion was
lost. Geer, the taller, then took the
floor, saying:
"Oregon has always been famed for
her fair women and red apples. The
first we still have with us, and | hope
always shall have, but the red apples,
or ut least, sound apples, are no longer
with us. The best thing for our or
chards today would be for 80 per cent
of them to be grubbed up. California
has made her fruit the wonder of the
world by appropriating literally for de-
stroying fruit pests. The difference be-
tween them and us is that when we find
anything good if it costs dollar and
six bits, we vote it down.
McEwan briefly opposed the bill, as
he preferred UptOn's. So the bill went
to vote. The roll-call showed 80 ayes
and 22(?) noes, thus defeating the meas
ure by | vote.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1893-02-04

The weather having gone as usual,
contrary to the wishes and prophecies
of b. S. Pague, who manufactures that
cheerful subject of conversation for Ore
gon, and the advertised chinook having
come by way of Walla Walla, with a
temperature low enough TO make six
inches of ice, the plant at the icY house
was put in order Saturday and about
o'clock a steady stream of first-class ice
was passing into the rooms, which was
continued all day Sunday, but by night
the chinook had got its work in, and
the ice was not. About 5000 tons have
been stored away, and with IA few days
cold weather, which may be expected,
the houses may be filled.

Some Hard Winters,

The extraordinary cold now being
experienced nearly all over the north
temperate zone has caused the st. Louis
Republics "Curious Man. to spend
considerable time looking up data con-
cerning the stalwart winters of Olden
times. Here are the results of this re-
serch: In February, 764, the weather
was unusally severe all over Europe;
at Constantinople the ''two seas" were
entirely frozen over for period of 20
days. In 1868 the Thames was solidly
frozen for IA weeks. The winter of
1407-S was so intensely cold i'm Britain
and Germany that all small birds per-
ished. In 1864 the cold was so intense
that ice formed Il inches thick on the
River Thames in the heart of London.
In 1709-10 was the winter known by
distinction as "The Cold Winter
All the lakes and rivers of Europe froze
solid to the bottom. In Poland and all
of North Germany the earth was frozen
nine feet deep. The Adriatic, the Bal
tic and the Black seas were all frozen
over. Even at Genoa, in sunny It
aly," the Mediterranean was frozen for
nine miles out at sea. In 1915 the
Straits of Copenhagen were frozen over
so that people travelled across on the
ice in perfect safety. The winter of
1740-41 was scarcely less severe than
that of 17O9-10. Snow laid 10 feet deep
in Spain and Portugal for seven weeks.
The Zuyder Zee was frozen over, and
thousands crossed it on the ice Just for
the mere novelty of such an experience.
In 1744 snow laid % feet deep on q
level throughout Southern Russia. In
III the Elbe froze to the bottom, and
ice formed feet thick on the Danube
below Vienna.
In America the record has been al
most equally as startling. In 1870 and
again in 1921 New York harbor was
frozen over so solidly that teams were
driven in safety over to Staten island on
the ice. Indiana, Ohio and Illinois
weather of 1855 was so severely cold
that the indicating firid in all mer-
curial thermometers congealed in the
bulbs of the instruments. On the 18th
and 24th days of January, 1881, 81 per-
sons were frozen to death in the United
States. Even as far south as Mobile
people who hardly knew what frost
meant saw the mercury sink to zero.

animals do, hence the necessity of
carefully attending to their wants.
as to weaken and destroy rather than
to build up vigorous vegetable growth.
Overwhelming is the plants most for
midable enemy; give it no more than
is absolutely necessary, such necessity
being indicated by the plants appear
ancc, or rather by the state of the soil
in the pot. This should never get dusty
neither should the leaves of the plants
ever droop; better by far let the plant
indicate by the dropping of the leaves
that it needs water, than to apply an
unnecessary amount. Plants, as rule,
make but little growth in early winter,
consequently they have but little use
for water, and more than the plant can
consume is ii positive injury to it.
