OREGON GIRLS PRIZE ESSAY
What Home Industry Can DO for tho
Pacific Northwest.

What Home Industry Can Do for the
Pacific Northwest
From the Portland Oregonian.
The executive committee Of the Man
ufacturers' association at Portland,
Ore, has finished its labors in connec-
ton with the examination of compost
tions submitted by the school children
of the state on THE Benefit of Patron
izing Home Manufactures" There
were in all 220 compositions sent in.
Miss Mabel III. Blum of the Portland
high school. aged 14la years, was
awarded the first prize of SIS cash
The following is an extract from the
essay:
THE patronage of home manufac-
lures adds to the city's population and
to its material wealth. 1t benefits the
general tradesmen because the people
require clothing and other supplies,
and in turn, il benefits the tiller of the
soil-the farmer, the fruit grower ar
the stockman-in the increased demand
for their produce. 1t makes farming
and the raising of fruits and vegetao les
profitable and 1t creates on the part
of the agriculturalist a demand for
more. and better, qualities of manufac-
tured articles-woolen goods, leather
goods, furniture and other household
articles. He builds for himself bet
ter home; he gives his sons and daugh-
tiers a better education; he surrounds
himself with more comforts; in short,
II produces culture and refinement. And
| this Is not alone the case with the
| farmer, but with every one who shares
| in the general prosperity which re-
suits from the home patronage OF man
ufactures-the mechanic, the laborer,
the tradesman and even tn meanufac-
turer himself.
| Let us glance moment at another
| example of this endless chain. Let
wooden mill be established. See what
| is required from host of other manu-
| facturers Ito say nothing of labor
| from the beginning of the construction
| of the building until the last machine
| is set and ready for work. And then
| comes the turn of the wool grower,
who, obtaining a better price for his
wool and having an increased demand,
| will. I'm turn. give the benefit to the
| herder and shearers and others. The
| establishment of one manufacturing
plant, II patronized locally and made
self-sustaining and profitable. necessi-
| tates in due course of time the estab-
| lishment Of others of different kinds, so
| that they may be able to supply each
| other at home with what they may re-
| uuire,"

AN ENOINEER'S LOSS.
A Curious fungus Growth Destroys His
Most yalu able Plans and Papers.


From the Scotsman.
I'm August last / sought out a large
number of working plans and working
details of scientific research work
have done during the last 10 years,
with the intention of tabulating the
same prior to bringing them before the
scientific world. / put them all into
large box l got for the purpose from
the grocer. Before using the box l
brushed IL thoroughly out and put il
out into the sun in the garden for two
bright days Then l kept II In the
kitchen beside the fire for Ia hours.
Thinking all was safe enough. / placed
my drawings in 1t. and there they re-
manned till the other week, when l
was about to begin a very serious task
(for II meant a deal of work.. But,
alas! what was my surprise and as
constituent on opening the box to find
II full to the lid with a snow-white
fungus. My wife thought 1t was box
full of wadding.
After removing several handfuls
came on the rolls. but not one of them
would unwind. The fungus had crept
into every turn OF the coils and de-
stroyed the very structure of the pa

ordinary drawing paper, but a few
pieces of tracing cloth escaped disin-
tegration, but was rendered useless
through stains all over 1t. l tried all
/ could think of to save my 10 years
work. but II would yield to nothing.
The box had remained undis-
turbed under the window on my
laboratory floor since August last. and.
strange to say. another box Of similar
size and kind lies within six inches Of
it, and filled with papers of minor i'm
portance, yet il has escaped and Is I'M

the sULTAN,s TIMIDITY.
1t Is Because of ihis That He Has Only
an AnCIo,y for Navy.

ApCloEy Tor "A Navy
Smyrna Letter in the London Standard
Why does the sultan allow what was
once a respectable fleet to rot to pieces
anchored off STEAMBOAT? Simply because
he considers an ironclad a dangerous IN
strument i'm the hands of any minister or
resolute commander. 1t is true that there
are no ships to guard his coasts, but also
there are none to steam up the bos-
phorus and throw a shell into his pal
ace and that is the first object TO be
thought of.
The incident which led to the order for
the extinction of the Turkey navy was as
follows: transport was bringing num-
Der of time-eXpired men home, when they
respectfully mutinied. and begged their
officers to go below, as they wished to do
something which might not be approved
of Some non-commissioned officers then
took command and anchored off Dolma
Bagtcheh, and after firing a small sa-
lutte began shouting, Long Live the Sui
| tam"
This demonstration caused immediate
confusion at the palace and various hlgh
officials were dispatched to parley with
| the mutineers, but they insisted on see
| ing the minister. and when he at last APP
peared they said that they knew the sui
| tan had given the money to pay them.
| but that they had not received it, and
| they would not bulge until they did. No
| arguments were of any avail, and the
money had to he sent for and distributed.
| after which the men weighed anchor with
| a cheer and gave up the ship again.
| The sultan, however, reflected that
j what a transport had done peaceably a
! heaviy-armed man-of-war might do with
evil intent, and calling Hassan Pacha to
! him, he declared that he wanted no more
| navy. In this light-hearted manner a
branch of national defense, which had
| been the pride of its officers, was sacri-

STOLE THE WHOLE HOUSE.
Thieves Took 1t Piecemeal. hut sprred
the Land to the Owner.

~ From the Charleston News
Almost since the beginning of the
world the crime of theft has been COM
niitted more or less. and as the world
grows older this crime has increased.
Thieves have been known to carry off
every conceivable kind of , goods and
chattels. from a set of false teeth TO
$50. 900 worth of diamonds. But II is
doubtful If there is another case on rec
ord similar to that which was report
ed in this city recently. where the stol-
en- property was a house-not a dog
house or a fowl house. but a two-story
wooden dwelling house of fair dimen-
sions. The house in question was sit
uated on Lucas street, just above the
City hospital. on the east side of the
street. In November, 1894, this piece of
property stood intact. and in fairly
good condition; to-day little remains
except the mortgage. if there be one.
At the beginning of last winter the
house was vacant and presented a too
inviting spectacle to the numerous
fire wood hunters in the vicinity. SO
night after night the house was att
tackled First the shutters were torn
off, then all the inside work, and finally
the weather boarding and shingles.
Last week the supports and stills were
standing which marked the site of the
former comfortable dwelling. but a
few nights ago the attacking party laid
a final siege to the place and finished
the work of destruction. All this hap
pened within the city limits.
An old darkey living near was inter-
rogated about the mysterious disap-
pearance of the house a day or two
since He said: when de weather
turn cold de people TEX 'em for fire
wood. Der's neber no police in dis
street" But there is a silver lining i'm
every cloud; the owners will have at
least no taxes to pay on the house. for
they can truthfully report 1t as burn
ed no alarm"
