The sleighing last night was very
good, there having been travel enough
to get the snow pretty we'll packed.
This being the case, it was taken advan-
tage OF by large number, and the jim
gle of bells and toot of horns were heard
until late hour. Among other turn
outs were three or four four-horse rigs,
and all loaded. The parties in the big
wagon beds seemed to be having the
most fun-at least they made the most
noise.
A Jacksonville correspondent says
The contract for the survey of the Rogue
River Valley railroad from Medford to
Eagle Point was let to W. E. CouI, and
the survey was begun Wednesday. Mr..
Harvey Man, the president of the COM
pany, has been in Jacksonville the past
week making arrangements for the pre-
liminary survey. The line between
Jacksonville and Medford has been sue
cessfully operated the past four years
and the extension will carry the line
through a fine body of fruit and grain
lands up to the timber belt on the east
ern side of the valley.

sleighing Party.

Last night at 7 80, big sleigh drawn
by four horses, and under the guidance
of genial Tom Ward, proceeded to gather
up a cargo of ladies and gentlemen
bound for visit to Mr. VIM. Floyd's
place, and to have a general good time
and dance. The following made up
the party: Mr.. and Mrs. Hobson, Mr..
and Mrs. Gordon, Mr.. and Mrs. Baily,
Miss Allie White, Misses Matte and
Mamie Gushing, Miss Lay, Miss Minnie
Lay, Miss Cheese and Messrs. Porter,
Fisher, Weigle, Fritz and H. A. York.
The roads were in excellent shape and
the ride was thoroughly enjoyed. Ar
irving at their destination warm well
come greeted them and the time was
spent in games, dancing and paying
proper attention to an elegant supper.
The party arrived home about 2 O'Clock
this morning.

Most Wise Judge.

The following account of trial the de-
cision in which ought to be an example
for the real courts, is given by the Port
land Sun:
''An exciting and interesting meeting
of the moot court of the law school was
held last evening in Judge Hurley's g
courtroom. AS a preliminary officers
for the ensuing term were elected, as
follows: D. A. Grout, president; F. S.
Grant, secretary; W. @. Burlington,
treasurer, and I. J. Sweet, sergeant-at-
arms. Judge John l.. McGinn, in an ex-
haustive opinion, decided that the
young man arrested for dropping nickel
to which a string was tied, in the slot OF
cigar machine, and then withdrawing
the money, after the receipt of the cigar,
was not guilty of larceny as charged, as
the owner of the nickel -in-the-slot ma
chine had intended to part with the title
to the cigar as long as person complied
with the direction to drop the required
nickel.
A jury trial which, for its chickering's,
personalities and irrelevant inuendoes
would do justice to frst-class murder
trial then followed. Contrary to custom
Mr.. ]. B. Mullay was excused because
he knew absolutely nothing and Mr.. S.
B. Riggin was accepted for the reason oi
his defiant affirmation that he was a
professional juror. Mr.. Knowell was
excused because he had no property but
was living in hopes. At late hour the
case was going with State-vs-Steeves-
like slowness and the embryo lawyers
were arguing at great length point
about as relevant to the issue as is q
hawk to handsaw.

A Fire.Born Bug.
chicago ChrOElCIe.

There are some bad bugs and worms
in the southern forests, but there are
certainly none that are quite equal
in endurance and toughness to the
worm that developed himself from the
great forest fires of the northwest.
Scarcely had the fires cooled suf-
ficiently for the owners to make in
spection OF losses when they found
that this new worm had got there
first, and was already completing the
destruction of what the flames had
spared. Both standing and cut tim.
bers were attacked, and the most
vigorous measures have been resorted
to and with only partial success. This
worm seems to have evolved from the
heat, and, so far, the cold and SHOWS
of the winter do not appear to have
affected his health or lessened his
voracity. He certainly is new and
unpleasant feature in the timber ques-
ton, and nut that scientists have
not yet cracked.

SCHWEINMAGEN'S GAME.

The Children Made Some Very EN-.
barrassinR Remarks.
The usual little game of poker was
running at Schweinmagen's, and the
players were all betting very freely,
says the San Francisco Post. An un-
usually large Jackpot was in the GEN.
ter of the table, and as the cards were
being dealt Schweinmagen remarked:
"Vell, shentlemans, l guess I win
dis bot"
1t was duly opened. and there was q
raise or two all the way around.
Schweinmsgen drew one card, another
player drew two and stood pat. The
betting was brisk, and every time it
came around to Schweinmagen he
raised. Suddenly his 4-year-old boy
exclaimed:
"Oh, look! papa's got four cards all
alike"
"Shut up your MOUTH roared
Schweinmagen, but it was too late.
None of the other players would call
his last raise. Schweinmagen took
the boy upstairs. He returned in five
minutes, red in the face, and resumed
the game with the remark: "You
bet, l sphauk dot poy gootW
Half an hour later, when all were
trying to win big pot, Schweinma-
gems 6-yesr-old girl exclaimed:
Papa has got four cards all just
alikeW
Again every one dropped their
hands. Schweinmagen pocketed the
cash and the 6year.old girl was led
upstairs.
When a few minutes later the gro.
GERS S-year-old son said: "Papa has
got four all alike" one of the players
studied his hand an unusually Ions
time, scratched his head, studied the
grocer's face and then called.
"What have you got?" he demand
ed.
What hsf you got?"

Schweinmagen spread out pair o
deuces. The grocer didn't take tn.
boy upstairs, but whipped him on thu
spot for lying.
"Dot poy might haf fooled some o

what Electricity II Doing.
Scientific American,


The Mining and Scientific Press thus
sums up the uses to which electricity
is applied. 1t enters into the prepare.
ton of what we eat, drink and wear,
and there are many articles of utility
now produced by its aid. The residents
of many cities in the United States
have their houses protected, lighted
and heated by electricity. They 20 to
their places of business in cars run by
electricity, the elevators by which
they reach their Office in high build
ings, or the machinery in their factory,
is run by electricity. The bell which
summons them to church is rung by
electricity and the church organ is
played by electricity. Electricity
brings the news to them from all parts
of the earth; stamps their letters
automatically, sounds the alarm in
case OF fire, rings the door bell, cook
the food. and fan them while eating it.
When they go to dentist their teeth
are drilled and filled by electricity, and
miniature electric lamps are now con

Good Bread.

New fork Evening Post.
At bread contest held in an east
ern city not long ago, milling COM
pany offered prizes ranging from SIS to
500 for the best loaves of bread. The
recipe used by the winner OF the 500
was: Three pints of water, one-half
pint Of milk, one tablespoonful of lard,
one tablespoonful Of sugar, two table,
spoonfuls of salt and one yeast cake.
The ingredients, which were first thor
oughly mixed, and then kneaded ten
minutes, were raised over night in q
covered bread-pan. In the morning
the bread was kneaded ten minutes
and made into three loaves. Three
other loaves entered for the contest
we're awarded $75 prizes. One OF
these loaves seems to have been pre-
pared in q somewhat unusual way.
The ingredients for the dough were
two-thirds milk TO one.third water,
compressed yeast, and little salt and
sugar, and were mixed with enough
flour to make q stiff dough. This
dough was mixed, kneaded and set to
rise at night. When light, it was
chopped thoroughly with chopping
knife, made into loaves and set to rise
the second time. When this was light
it was baked forty minutes.

can talk with our friends 500 or 1000

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

A plate is an awkward dish upon
which to pile sliced bread for break
fast or luncheon. 1t has an unrivalled
faculty for scattering crumbs. A
rather shallow bread basket is much
better. Very pretty ones, made OF
closely woven grasses in which line
OF green is here and there discernible,
are sold cheaply. The bread basket
makes possible the display of an en-
broidered dolly as lining, and is to
be commended on that account.
A question which must have arisen
in the mind of every one who has eat
en- oatmeal from blue porridge bowls
or peaches and cream from blue sau-
GERS is, why do housekeepers ever allow
milk to be served in blue ware? The
richest cream ever sent ont of q model
dairy takes on a thin, milky look in a
blue bowl. As for mere milk, it seems
like the very skinned, half-water
fluid dear to the professional humor-
list. Blue is charming color for
tableware, but the inside Of a dish
which is designed to hold cream should
be OF a rich yellowish tint, that will
intensity the quality OF the dairy prod
uct.
Table linen embroidered in white
possesses an advantage over that
marked with colored silks. Its owner
does not have to replenish her china
closet in order to have harmoniously
set table. Linen embroidery has an
advantage over silk in that it does not
become yellow with age or washing.
The regulation tablecloths and nap
kins are most effective looking when
they are adorned only by narrow Bit
of drawn work above their hemstitched
hens, and an embroidered monogram.
In the tablecloth the monogram is ar
ranged to lie on the center OF one side
between the edge OF the table and the
centerpiece, with the tops of the letters
pointing towards the center. Napkins
are folded in four square parts and the
monogram embroidered in the center
of one division.

The use of the bicycle for the pur-
pose of locomotion and travel is so re-
cent that as yet there is little adjudi-
cation as to the rights and liabilities OF
travellers employing it upon the high
way; but the trend OF judicial author
ity seems to place the wheel on q
plane OF equality with other vehicles
The early advent of the bicycle
met with strenuous opposition, both
from pedestrians and agencies of the
road, the former contending that it
was vehicle and should be excluded
from the sidewalk, and the latter as
serting that it was an object of terror,
the use of which was perilous in that
it frightened horses. But by degrees
this child of adversely began to be
recognized by the courts and its legal
status to be established. Finally its
paternity was established and it was
placed in the category of carriages and
vehicles.
The authorities, almost without ex-
ception, now recognize the bicycle as
. carriage" or vehicle" entitled to
the rights OF carriages and vehicles in
general, and no longer regard it as an
obstruction to or an unreasonable nse
of the streets or roads, but rather q
new and improved method of using
the same, and "germane to their
principal use as pathway"
In applying the established law OF
the road to the wheel, probably it is
not entitled to the dignity of a car
riage, and while there is no authority
for the statement, it seems that the
wheelmen in riding on the road should
be governed by the immortal usage
and custom applicable to horsemen.
Summing up the law pertaining to
bicycles in a general way, it may be
said:
l. Municipal corporations or cities
are liable to bicyclist for injuries in
CURED by reason of defective roads Ii
e., unguarded embankment, deer
rut, a large stone), provided he is moi
guilty of contributory negligence. A
city is under no special obligation t(
wheelmen, and the defect must bt
such as to cause injury to vehicles ir
general. A bicyclist injured while
| riding on Sunday for pleasure or bust
ness cannot recover in States wher'
"Sunday laws" are in force.
2. A wheelman has right of actor
against the driver or owner of a We
| hicle who willfully or negligent!
causes a collision or damages Iii
| wheel while left standing by the stree
] curb or roadside. 1tis the duty of
