plainly TO Mrs. Strong about spelling Liza
The case is discussed at Sans souci. Liza
must be helped, but not brought in contact
with Adrien.
There was a sharp note of anxiety in
the loud, fresh voice. Strong and Eliza
were the objects about which all the
family pride and homage revolved.

She was tying the rumpled strings of
a green gingham sunbonnet under her

of headgear presented sharp contrast
to the modish much beplumed hat that

over her own commonplaceness

GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND.
How q Clever Yankee Fooled a Brace of
Britishers.

How q Clever Yankee Fooled Brace of
Britishers.
The residents of Staten Island, dur
ing its occupancy by the British in rev.
olutionary times, were prohibited from
their houses. A few of them, ccvcr-
theless, succeeded in conccalin-, rrrs.
and among these was ycu-g ;l2n
named Houseman. One morning, after
the fall of a light snow, says the Argo-
naut, the young man was out with his
gun in quest of rabbits, when 4 sudden
turn in the path brought him in sigh.
of two soldiers. The two parties saw
each other simultaneously, and each
stopped. Houseman thought Of the
loss of his gun, and possibly of his life;
but the sense of danger was but slim
illus to his coolncss and daring. He
suddenly turned his back on the sol
diers, and, stepping around thS tarn,
waved his hand, as if beclxoning to
some one. ''Hurry up!" he shouted;
"here are two Briti3hers. Three of you
go round to the right, three to the left,
and the rest follow me. Hurry up, be-
fore they run away!' The British ers,
hearing these words and fearing there
might be small army about to sur
round them, turned and fed. They
even threw down their arms to facili-
tate their fight. What report they
made when they reached their quarters
is not known, but detachment was at
once sent out to capture the young man
and his army. Their surprise and NOR
tiication may be imagined when, at
the turn in the path, they could find
but the tracks of single individual.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
The Necessity for it Shown by President
Miller

Until within recent years educa-
cation of the hand has been neglected
in our higher institutions, the mind
only being cultivated: but the general
government recognizing the necessity
of educating both the hand and the
mind has made most liberal appropria-
tions for maintaining industrial schools
in each state, and the one in Oregon
| is located ut Corvallis in connection
with the Oregon agricultural college,
are taught.
| President FL. b. Miller, of this in
stitution, delivered an address at the
court house in this city last night up
on the workings of the school and the
necessity Of industrial training. Prof.
Miller is practical man in every re-
| spect, and is a firm advocate of practical
rather than theoretical education.
and as to the needs of industrial edu-
cation he is an enthusiast. The youth
who is so trained that he is capable of
taking hold of mechanical appliances
and applying them to practical con-
strucJion of necessary articles, he holds
is better educated and will become
more useful than the one whose head
is stuffed with theories, but is devoid
of practical application.
AS to the needs of industrial training,
the speaker showed that America was
| great producing and consuming
nation: that the demands of the times
were for men and women who could
enter our shops and factories, and by
combination of knowledge and skill,
would be capable of constructing
the products demanded by consump-
| ion in competition with the best minds
| of the world. The field too is wide.
People who are capable of guiding the
hands of others, who are capable of
becoming the leaders of men and
women in all branches of mechanical
art are in demand at high wages all
over the country. To fit the youth of
Oregon for such positions is the puI-
pose of the industrial school which
Prof. Miller represents. Careful train
ing is given in iron and wood working,
civil and mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering and chemistry
as well as in agriculture, horticulture
and botany. The youth who takes
course in the college may arrive at per-
lection in any of these branches, and
at the expiration of his course is pre-
pared to take position by the side of
the most skilled workmen in the line
he has mastered.
At the close of President Miller's
address, Prof. Hedrick gave micre-
scopic illustration, aided by the stere-
opticon, of the bacteria that forms
upon stagnant water spreading the
germs of disease, and the fungi that
accumulates on decaying vegetable
matter, also microscopic illustration
of a drop of stagnant water secured
from the streets of The Dalles. show
ing myriads of living insects fitting
about through it. Next the professor
turned his attention to the higher or
ders of plant life, and gave illustrations
of the system of propagation in Great
ing plants.

Death OF Mrs. GlaYey.

Mrs. Glavey, widow of Thomas Gla-
vey, died at her home near Kingsley
Thursday afternoon, and was buried
in Kingsley cemetery Friday, the
funeral being conducted by Father
Brousgeest. Mrs. Glavey was born in
Ireland about rs years ago, and jmmi-
grated to America when a girl. With
her husband, who died some seven
years ago. and her three sons she came
TO Wasco county in 1879, settling near
Kingsley, where new acquaintances
were formed and friends were made
whose ties of friendship were severed
only by death. Her last illness was of
short duration, and comparatively
painless, it being apparently the quiet
and peaceful termination of one whose
years are ripe and whose life has been
we'll spent. About her death bed were
gatheaed her three sons, John, Thomas
and Michael. together with their fam
lilies, and the last sad rites were con-
Quoted in the presence of large num-
ber of sorrowing friends.

Two Pleasing Performances.

Itwas indeed appreciative audience
that greeted the Stockwell-Bacon Co.
at the Vogt last Saturday afternoon
and evening to witness the two great
plays "Romeo and Juliet" and "Mr.
Potter of Texas" The first is much
the best suited to the troupe, since the
leading lady, Miss Dalglish, makes q
typical Juliet, and her readings of
Shakespeare charming lines are per
feet. Mr.. Lonergan made handsome,
impetuous Romeo. generous, warm
hearted lover and proved himself
most accomplished actor In ''Mr.
Potter of Texas" Miss Dalglish had
most difficult character, that Of Lady
Annerly, an inscriptions. scheming
woman, and while she took the char
acter admirably, her best acting was
not fully brought out. Mr.. Lonergan,
as the Hon. Sampson Potter did some
exceedingly clever work, but did not
equal his personation of Romeo. The
other mem bers of the company furn-
ished very strong support, and in fact
some took really leading parts most
admirably. The Stockwell-Bac
Company is by odds the best troupe
that has visited The Dalles this season.
and should they ever appear here again
may rest assured of receiving better
than was given them last
Saturday.

Many orchardists are of the opinion
that the severe cold last November
destroyed nearly if not all the San
Jose scale in this section, and that
spraying will not he necessary this
season. This appears to be a mistaken
idea, says Mr.. Schanno, member of the
state board of horticulture, who has
had occasion to examine q number of
orchards recently. While possibly
some of the insects were destroyed by
the November freeze, there are still
enough TO do much damage, and unless
trees are properly treated, the scale
will appear quite numerous so soon as
warm weather sets in. Trees should
be sprayed during this month or in the
first week of April in order to destroy
scale, and Mr.. Schanno recommends
the immediate application of the lime
and sulphur spray, for which the for
mula and directions for using were
printed in the TIMES-M
some time since,

TO PRESENT THEIR CASE.
sherman County Sheepmen Want to Send
Delegate to Washington.


Delegate to Washington.
At a meeting of the Sherman county
Sheepraisers' Association held recent
ly, the members levied an assessment
of one dollar on every 1000 head of
sheep owned by the members thereof
to be used for the purpose of defraying
the expenses Of a delegate to be sent
to Washington to present the matter
of opening the Cascade timber reserve
for herding of stock, before congress
and the president or to ask that the
limits of the reserve be diminished.
The association proposes to pay
this amount, provided the sum of
$500 can be raised through
the associations in Wasco, Gillian,
and Crook and Sherman counties and
by voluntary donations from persons
not directly interested in sheeprais.
ing. The matter has been laid before
a number of business men of The
Dalles who have subscribed literally
to the fund, and in all probability the
necessary $500 can be raised.
The sheepraisers have confidence
in the desire of the Oregon delegation
at Washington to some time be able to
get the reservation thrown open, but
it is desirable that action be taken
during the special session OF congress
or at least before the season when the
sheep must be driven to summer range,
hence it is believed special delegate,
who goes to Washington especially for
this purpose, can secure more speedy
action than can congressman or
senator who has his other duties to at
tend to.
The matter of opening the reserve
is one of general interest to stock
raisers and farmers of all the adjoining
counties, for if the reserve is not
opened the winter range will be eaten
out completely by the sheep during
tee summer, therefore what can be
done in the matter should be done at
once.

STANDARD AND LOCAL TIME.
Geographical Location of the Five Longi.
tudinal Belts in This Country.

Geographical Location OF the Five Longi-
tudinal Belts in This Country.
With the enormous increase of rail-
way travelling the necessity arose for
inventing some method of counting
time which should avoid the complica-
tions arising from the use of local mean
time, which varies with every mile of
east or west travel. What is known as
the ''new standard time was adopted
by agreement by all the principal rail-
roads of the United States at twelve
o'clock, noon, on November Is, 1888.
The system, says the Detroit Free
Press, divides the continent into five
longitudinal belts and fixes a meridian
of time for each belt. These mertdians
are fifteen degrees of longitude, torre-
spending to one hour of time. apart.
Eastern Maine, New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia use the sixtieth meridian;
the Canadas, New England, the mid
die states, Virginia and the Carolinas
use the seventy-ffth meridian, which
is that of Philadelphia; the states
of the Mississippi valley, Alabama,
Georgia and Florida, and westward, in
cluding Texas, Kansas and the larger
part of Nebraska and Dakota, use the
ninetieth meridian, which is that of
New Orleans. The territories to the
western border of Arizona and Mon
tana go by the time of the one hun
dred and fifth meridian, which is that
of Denver, and the Pacific states en-
ploy the one hundred and twentieth
meridian. The time divisions are
known as lntercolonial time, eastern
time, central time, mountain time and
Pacific time. A traveller passing from
one time belt to another will find his
watch an hour fast or too slow, accord
ing to the direction in which he is go'
ing. All points in any time division
using the time of the meridian must
set their timcpieces faster or slower
than the time indicated by the sun, ac-
cording a their position is east or west
of the line. This change of system re-
duced the time standards used by the
railroads from fifty-thrcc to five,
great convenience to the railroads and
the travelling public
