TPODOts Made of Lace

Fancy remembering ones great
grandfather victories by a milk
pitcher, or growing sentimental over
fat teapot which enshrined the mem
ory of grandfather first love! It
would be almost as bad as having ones
friends ashes done up in cut glass,
vinaigrette fashion, to place on our
dressing table. But it seems. accord.

many people possess old military uni.
forms which they don't know what to
do with. II they sell them they know
the chances are that they will hardly
fetch the value of the gold lace, and
therefore they often lie by to form a
happy hunting ground for moths. The
owners OF old uniforms may like to
hear that they can utilize the gold
lace for various little articles of which
they have need. An interesting tea
set has been made from the lace on
the uniforms of three generations of
warriors of one family. The milk Jug
was made from the melted lace belong.
ing to the grandfather, the sugar
basin, with little additional supplied
by the jeweler, was evolved from old
uniform trimmings, and the little tea.
pot was formed ont of collection OF
lace once used to sdorn the persons OF
several stsIwart sons, who had dis.

Arctic Owls in the Northwest.

Papers all over the Northwest are
noticing the arrival of asctic or snowy
owls, which were mentioned in the
Orogonian week ago. They have
been seen at many places all the way
from the boundary line to the Cali
fornia line, and taxidermists are being
kept busy mounting specimens of this
visitor from the arctic regions. One
paper says: "This owl travels south.
ward with the ducks, the companion it
is generally found with" Owls and
ducks do not travel together unless
the duck is inside the owl. The ducks
come down from the North every win.

usually severe and his food supply is
shut off. The last time these birds
were seen here in numbers was in the

"For nearly 200 yards it looked any
money on the lioness. She got right
under the pony's tail, but did not seem
to know how to strike, and at length
the pony began to gain on her. She
at once pulled up aud turned into
brush where she lay down, stretched
out at full length, painting. Running
up shot her before she could prepare
for another effort.
"The natives said that the reason
she did not catch the pony is because
q lion cannot spring without moment
ary halt. If this is so pony could al.
ways get away from lion galloping
straight behind it, unless the pony was
snch bad one that the lion could
come alongside"
Hunters feel safe when on a pony
and in tho open. There is really no
danger if the pony is not too tired and
if the lion is kept at distance so that
the pony can get started if the animal
charges. Unless wounded, lions are
inclined to run from a man either on
foot or on pony. except when very
hungry.

Among the narrow escapes from
whales perhaps the most remarkable
is an instance of largo whale, which,
when struck, sunk, striking beneath
the boat of three lone fishermen. The
men quickly pulled it to one side,
while the whale shot over ten feet into
the air, SO that for a moment it poised,

he seized the sword and made it fast

In this case as others. nerve and
self control were equally important.
Had the fisherman become demoralized
the fish might have widened the break
