One Meets Generally with very UnWel-
come Reception at a Cottage.
Call at a roadside cottage in Brit
tany and ask for food and a nights
shelter, and the whole family will
crowd into the door to obstruct your
passage. Then they will silently
and sullenly look you over. Whittier

er, they are even shrewd enough to
demand your passport. No vaga-
bond, deserter nor ticket of leave
man will they harbor. Finally as
sured you are none of these, they
set about bargaining for the last sou
they can wiring from you. The food
you are to get, to the very color of
the coffee, is set powerfully against
your money.
Their own poverty, their bewilder-
ing number of children, the lonely
road to the nearest village inn, the
fact that at the next cottage they
would probably murder as well as
take you in; all and much more is
set forth to make your bargain a
hard one.
So, too, the toothless old peasant
hag mother, while eying you suspi
ciously, croons to her husband a run
ming fire of objections to the ar
rangement, a few of which set you
down to your face as villainous spy,
some wretch that has cheated the
gibbet, and certainly no less than
the thief of Breton horses who was
caught and fogged at the last horse
fair at La Folguet.
They are shrewd and canny, these
simple folk, and they will make you
very miserable until the price is set
and paid down in hand, for they
will not trust you with the sum un-
til morning, lest your appearance be-
lie your ability to pay; but, the lugu-
brious transaction once settled and
a few sous scattered among the
children, which are Immediately
snatched away and hidden in the
farmers strong box, the atmosphere
suddenly changes.
You are the guest now. All the
innkeeping politeness, suavity and
of Paris itself are yours,
and until you leave every soul in the
cottage puts every other duty aside
to minister unto your wants and
fort.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Impressing q Lesson.

During my second year at the JEFF
ferson Medical college, Philadelphia,
l had a classmate whom it would not
be uncharitable to call a dullard. One
of the professors was in the habit of
taking the boys unawares and quiz
zing them He said to this fellow
one day:
''How much is a dose of -" Civ
ing the technical name of croton oil.
"a teaspoonful," was the ready re-
ply.
The professor made no comment,
and the fellow soon realized that he
had made mistake. After aquarter
of an hour he said:
Professor, want to change my
answer to that question"
"Is's too late, Mr.. -" responded
the professor, looking at his watch.

He Matches Odd Buttons.

Not long since I discovered man
in New York who makes speciality
of matching lost buttons. His shop,
a dingy little, low ceilinged room,
was surrounded by shelves, on which
were piled boxes of buttons of all
sorts and conditions. While I was
there a girl came in and asked him
If he had any like those ON her jacket.
He took down several specimens and
presently found one, which he sewed
on. She paid him 10 cents. That is
the usual price, though rare buttons
sometimes come higher.
Atregular intervals he goes around
collecting buttons among tailors and
dressmakers, who save them for him
and sell them very cheap. He has a
set of regular customers, and they
rarely go away without finding ex-
acty what they want.-Lippincott's.

Mr.. VIM. Floyd returned last Saturday
from tour of the Antelope country. He
went there for the purpose OF purchasing
sheep, and thoroughly canvassed that por-
tion Of the county. Cattle are in excellent
condition, and feed was never better on the
hills. A year ago SHEEP was held at So 30
head. but now the price asked range from
S1.75 TO 81. Flock masters are very much
discouraged at the prospects, and are desir-
ous of selling out. Wool could not be sold,
and the profits in the business during the
past season have been little or nothing. In
many instances there have not been enough
realized to pay actual expenses, and this has
induced many to turn their attention to
something else Antelope, which is de.
pendent largely on sheepmen for trade, is
very dull, aud merchants are loudly COM
planning. Very little gram is raised except
for feed, aud crops have been very far.
From present indications IL is presumed
that the wool interests of Wasco county
will not be in the future as important fac
tor as they have been IN the past. and more
attention Will be paid to other industries
hereafter.

to one year in the penitentiary. They
served out their sentence, being discharged

somewhat. Deputy Sheriff Croner left for

The city board Of public works mot
last evening in regular session, and
transacted u large amount OF very inter-

came up for consideration was the
question OF tine use OF the streets by the
electrical railway company, the faulty
repaving by that company OF certain
pieces OF street. and more especially the
matter OF the double track on Jacob
street, south OF Forty-third.
A number OF estimates on proposed
work were also presented by Engineer
Hoge, but these arc preliminary, and
may not be in the final estimate at all,
The board cannot make up anything
like a final estimate for submission TO

1t was also resolved that in accord.
anCe with the action OF tho City Coun-
Gil, the electrical railway company be
notified this morning that the second
track laid by it on Jacob street from
Forty.third street 250 feet southwark,
must BIO taken up Mt once.
A third resolution was adopted, CIV
ing the company sixty days to repaye
the track where it has been badly
paved. There are places, as on Market
street between Fourteenth and the
alley next north, whore tho pavement
was evidently laid on bad foundation,
and has since sunk. The company is
not to blame for this, rs it has with
held from the contractors who repaved
the tracks enough money to pay for
doing the work over, and doing it right.
