MONOClES IN EUROPE.

In every capital of Europe the mono
Gle is common enough. 1t attracts no
attention Oh the street. In o row of men
at the theater a considerable proportion
are sure to have it. Perhaps half the
officers in the German army wear mono
cles. They are to be seen in abundance
at any meeting of the French academy.
Even socialist deputies in France are
not ashamed to 90 among their constit-
uents wearing them. A session of the
English house of commons glitters with
solitary eyeglasses. The single eyeglass
is said to have originated among the
officers of the British army.
About the beginning of the century
an order was issued that army officers
should not wear eyeglasses or specta.
cles. 1t was supposed that they gave the
wearers an unmilitary appearance The
order caused severe Inconvenience tC
many short sighted officers, and one Of
them, belonging to a crack regiment,
invented the single eyeglass. HI
claimed that, being an eyeglass, its ust
was no contravention of the order which
prohibited spectacles and eyeglasses. Il
soon became very popular in the army
and was afterward adopted. On account
probably of this origin the single eye
glass is very generally worn in Europe
by army officers.
1t is by some thought to give an as
pect Of determination and ferocity t.
the wearer, whereas eyeglasses lend al

THE BETTER WAY.

Shall we fold the tiny garments
That our darling used to wear.
Lay aside the half worn dresses,
Put them all away with caref
Brooding DER them long and often,
Bringing back cur grief and pain,
Holding to our hearts our sorrow,
Living DER our loss again?
Shall we do this while about us
By the hundreds everywhere,
Suffering for the help withholden,
There are children sweet and fart
Children needing just the garments,
Dresses, skirts and half worn shoes
Garments that our grief has boarded,
Garments our hearts dread to lose?
Give them what our child once needed,
But no longer needs, we know.
She is clothed in lovely garments,
White and pure as drifted snow.
Helping Tighten others burdens,
We Of use are to the race,
And we seem to see u glad emile
On our darling's happy face.

STORIES OF DR.. HOLMES.

A Young Woman Who Didn't Like His
Literary Taste.
The story is recalled Of a young Vir-
ginia country girl dining in Boston
some years ago, in the days when Dr..
Holmes went to dinners. Seated next
to her was a homely, little old gentle
man whose name she did not catch. He
began to talk with her and asked her
how she passed her time in the country.
"Oh, we read, my father and Ir' she
said.
"And what do you read:" asked the
little man.
"WeI, the 'Autocrat of the Break
fast Table for one thing, she answer
ed.
II should think you would not care
to read that more than once" remark
ed the little old man with sign of dis
appointment in his tones.
my father and ! may not be judges
of literature, said Miss Virginia airi-
" and with faint accent of scorn,
''but when we get to the end Of the
'Autocrat' we generally turn back to
the beginning and read it over again. !"
The little old man smiled at this and
was disposed to be friendly, but Miss
Virginia was SO displeased with his tone
concerning the "Autocrat'' that she met
him with chilly Indifference.
As soon as the guests went into the
drawing room her hostess whispered
reproachfully to her:
lyon didn't seem to find DIR. Holmes
as interesting as hoped.
CDR. Holmes!' shrieked Miss Virgin
liza. There were tableau and an expla-
lnation.
Another story of Holmes wit is told.
One day old DIR. Peabody was to meet
him at q certain place. The venerable
professor rode in carriage. When he
got there, he was met by Holmes, who
had walked. Near by was statue Of
Eurydice And Holmes said:
"Ah, you ride, I see!'
Capital, capitalH' cried Peabody.
That night he went back home and
said to his wife: 81,
Holmes got off good joke today
His wife asked him what it was.
"Why, was to meet him down a
the statue of Eurydice, and when ar
rived, he said quite happily, oh, yor
came in a carriage!
And then the genial professor wonder
ed why his wife didn't laugh.

The spring advanced toward summer,
and everything had settled down to its
old time routine, with the difference that
the little school which jamie walked ten
miles to teach gave her to some extent
an occupation for her mind. If she
hoped for any change in her dull life she
never spoke of it again. She tried to feel
an interest in her pupils she tried not to
feel bitter toward the parents who would
send them to school dirty and unkempt,
and with a lunch of soda biscuit and
fried pork. She was gracious and sweet
to all alike, and at home tried by smiles
and cheerful words to brighten her mo-
theirs lonely life and make her fathers
weekly home coming one Of joy
Unconsciously to herself she was gain
ing the moral heights and finding the
atmosphere that was good for her souls
health.
As the summer advanced and the
dreaded hot days came the school closed
and jamie resigned. AS jamie went from
house to house on errands of mercy she
often saw her friend DIR. Selwyn. Once
she inquired if he had heard from Mr..
Forester. He answered her almost
CURLY that he often heard from him, but
that was all. and as he volunteered no
further information she never spoke of
him again.

THE PORTLAND MARKETS.



Foreign markets, which for the past
two or three weeks showed some strength
ening signs, have again fallen back to
their former level, and quotations are
lowering about the low-water mark,
The local situation is not affected by the
slight fluctuations on the other side, as
there is practically no market here at
present. Walla Walla wheat for export
is still worth about 75c per GENITAL, with
none being exported. Valley wheat is
quoted nominally at IKE. So far as
can be learned but little forward bust
ness is being transacted in grain or
freights. The first ship OF the new sea-
son is at hand, but she is disengaged.
Three charters only, it is said, have
been written in the past fortnight. Crop
conditions throughout the State are on
the whole considered very good. The
grain aphis which has made its appear
ance in the valley threatens damage,
but as yet has done none. The pest is
confined to a comparatively small
section in the central Willamette Valley,
and has not been reported in any part OF
the Inland Empire.

We call the attention OF our readers
once more to the black knot. The dis
ease is carried across fields by the winds,
and one affected tree may in short time
spread the disease through whole neigh
borhood. As soon as the first signs of
the disease show in an orchard, every
branch that is affected should be cut off
and burned, and if any tree or trees are
badly affected, they should be cut down
and burned at the earliest possible mo-
ment. No man ought to wait day or
an hour if he finds that his trees are
diseased, for the only way to destroy the
spores is to destroy them by fire. Black
knot is the worst disease that growers of
stone fruit have to contend with in the
Midwest, and they should not spare ef-
forts to subdue and ultimately destroy
it altogether.

a SIMPLE WAY
To Pasteurize MIX for Those who De-
sire 1t for Family Use,

sire 1t for Family Use.
A simple method OF pasteurizing milk
for those who desire it for family use is
as follows: The milk should be placed
in clean bottle, which is put inside any
convenient metal vessel, into which cold
water should be poured until it reaches
the level of the milk in the bottle. The
mouth of the bottle should be closed
with plug of clean white cotton. 1t
will be found more convenient in prac-
tice to raise the bottle containing the
milk about half an inch from the bottom
of the outer vessel by any convenient
means, as this facilitates the circulation
OF the hot water round the bottle. The
outer vessel should then be placed on
stove and slowly heated until the tenn
perature of the water reaches lob degrees
Fahrenheit. The vessel should then be
taken from the fire and covered closely
with piece of wooden cloth. 1t should
remain covered half an hour, at the eX-
piration of which time the bottle should
he taken out and put in a cool place.
The milk may be used at any time within
twentv-four hours. The cotton, however,
should not be removed, as it prevents
the entrance of dust or germs OF any
kind. The explanation of the process is
very simple. A temperature OF 100 de-
grees maintained for half an hour is suf-
ticent to destroy any germs likely to be
present in milk, and by raising the tenn
perature OF the outer water five degrees
in excess and then allowing the milk to
stand in the heated water for half an
hour the proper temperature is insured
for the required period of time. If the
temperature is allowed to rise above 1875
degrees, the taste and quality of the
milk are affected, though not to the
same extent as if it were boiled. Where
quantity OF pasteurized milk is re-
quired, several bottles may be placed in
the same vessel, all being filled to the
same height with the milk.
