A Bright Home.


! Your home may be as cheering a.
the sunshine, or it may be AZ dark
as the clouds that bring our storms,
but it may become as you will it; it
is thing Of education Of q slow
growth. You can not change the
condition of it in a day; If you are
cross and high tempered you can
not cultivate in few hours q pleas.
ant manner and an even disposition,
but it is task that requires time
and effort, and the time to begin
the work Of making your influence
felt for good in the home is now.
Every kind wish is a prayer that
will be noted, and every pleasant
word will strengthen the chain that
binds your family together, and no
grave will be SO deep that it will
bury from your sight the i'll words
and deeds. Let love and kindness
nestle around your hearthstone.
Now as you read this, resolve to
change your home which is gloomy
into bright one; if the child need
an "old time boxing" instead Of
giving it, take him upon your lap,
explain to him that you want him
to be good; how it grieves you when
he is bad; give hin. plenty Of love
and treat him as a reasonable being,
and you will be surprised how soon
it will become an easy matter to
lead that child. Govern yourself
first; become more each day to hus-
band or wife and children, even at
the most Of self-sacrifce; keep back
the hasty speech and load yourself
with kindness, and from out your
bright home will go up the purest
aspirations that link you to heaven.

II is as follows: Three men came
to town with eggs to sell. One has
ten eggs, the second thirty and the
third has fifty eggs. They close
out their stock at the same price
per egg and depart with every man
having the same amount Of money
as result Of his marketing. This
looks to be simply an impossibility,
but it can be demonstrated beyond
the shadow Of a doubt. Try it.

The united States civil service

The United States civil service
commission announces that the
supply of male stenopraphers and
typewriters for the department SER
vice at Washington is not equal to
the demand, and there are requisi-
tons now which can not be tiled
for want of eligible persons. APP
pointments to these places are usu-
ally at salaries of ST. 900 per year or
less. There will be an examina-
ton in Portland on April 23rd, at
which persons DESIRING TO compete
Ior such positions may be examined.
Those who desire to take the ex-
animation should write to the civil
service commission, Washington,
d. c., and obtain application blanks
and pamphlets constructions. The
clerk copyists examination will
have to be taken as a basis, and
there will be practical tests in. stem
ography and typewriting. If these
positions were open to women there
would be no trouble about filling
them.

A bold sclieiife for obtaining
mechanical power for industrial
purposes has lately attracted atteu-
tien in England. 1t contemplates
the construction of a dam IS miles
long rrca,. ii,e-..c .h<as,er6 coast OF
ireland ACROSS North Channel to
the extremity of Cantire, Scotland,
and putting in several gates and
water wheels, to be worked by the
tides. Owing TO the greater depth
OF the ocean than the Irish sea, and
to the freer course Afforded west
and north Of Ireland, the tide comes
up from the South Atlantic by that
route, and flows southwark through
the passage just mentioned long
before il can get up there on the
east side of the green Sic, The
estimated cost of the undertaking
is $40, 900, and the time named
as necessary for construction is
three years.

ing, THAT if the government does
not accept the present bill before
congress postponing the time of
payment of the Central Pacific debt,
or extend the time of payment OF
bonds TO reasonable pefiod the
probability is that the first mort
gage bond holders will take the

said, reasonable time Is given tc
to meet the obligations, and for the

made, the government will receive

A Stupid Law.

The present state law making
taxes delinquent April Ist is a
stupid one, and it is high time it
was changed. December Ist would
be the best date, when money is
always more plentiful. II a person
ever had any money it is then.
The crops have been garnered and
the payment for same has been re-
ceived, All kinds of obligations
generally are squared up by this
carly spiing months the adverse Is
true. These are borrowing months,
The cash assets of nearly everyone
has dwindled down to nothing and
money is tight. II is the worse
time of the year fol such heavy
draw as taxes. The next session
of the legislature should amend
this law. And i'll this connection
they should at the same time pro
vide that assessors be appointed by
the county courts This is too i'm.
portant a matter to be left TO chance
There ia no other county Office
which requires such peculiar char
acteristics on the part of the in
cumbent as county assessor. A
good assessor is never popular-ht
is too iuquisitive, too prying. A
convention may put tip \ brainy
i1an and popular, but he may
make a very poor assessor. The
county court, recognizing whC
would be most valuable for thi
duty, and wishing to make the bes
administration possible, woulC
make a better choice than any con
vention. Dallas Chronicle.

of the Bing cherry, originated by
Seth Lewelling, of Milwaukee, ac-
companied by a very handsome
colored plate which does full justice
TO this cherry in every respect ex'

says that the Bing is the largest
cherry ever received at that Office.
In quality it is classed as very good,
and is also pronounced all excellent

Fire broke out in the power house OF
the Willamette steam mills, better
known as Weidler's mills, in North
Portland yesterday. The fire started in
the engine room, and though it was dis
covered soon after it started, it got be-
yond control and damaged the property
to the extent of $50, 900 before it could
be conquered. 1t was only after strenu-
GUS efforts on the part of the fire de-
partment that the big mills were saved.
One who knows tells us that instead of
Mrs. Gourlay and Mrs. Hampton, it was
Mrs. Gourlay and Mrs. Heppner who
Gourlay stepped from her carriage to
walk short distance up the grade, and
while passing a freighter's team, who
was feeding it by the roadside, one of
freighter's horses kicked at her, and
knocked her down. She was unable to
arise for some time, but happily she es-
capped serious injury.
The following account of what thirty
hens made in this city by James Hem
enway's son shows what can be done in
Oregon with a little good management.
From January 1, 1898, to August 80,
1894, number of eggs laid 4248, or 354
dozen. At an average of 20 cents per
dozen, they brought $7O.sO. The entire
cost of feed 1915. The hens are all full
blooded Brown Leghorns. This is an
other evidence that in Oregon, as well
as other states, that it pays to give ones
attention to producing something that
is in good demand at good prices, rather
than big grain raising to sell at low
figures. Cottage Grove Leader.
The latest theory of pathology is that
by feeding fellow on the substance IN
which he is short or weak the particular
organ can be developed. For instance,
man troubled with a muscularly weak
heart would be fed on the heart of an OK,
which is said to be the strongest of any
animal, the idea being that the stomach
will apportion what goes into it SO it will
do the most good. If this be true, it is
indeed fortunate that the noblest of all
animals, the horse, is now dirt cheap,
and can be utilized in furnishing brains
and good horse sense to the citizens Of
Oregon. We suggest that Secretary Nc
Bride countermand his order for pen
knives and invest the money in cayuses
from the bunch grass ranges of Eastern
/ Oregon.
