OLD SPRING BEDS
Made a Thing of Beauty by a Brook
Iyn Woman.


The inventive mind of man usually
turns itself to the construction of some
new articles of use or ornament, some
addition to the earth's treasures evolved
by patient study and thought Not so
the inventive mind Of woman; that is us
ually employed in devising ways and
means of utilizing the useless; of turning
to some secondary purpose that which
was intended for some entirely different
purpose.
In Brooklyn, where annexation has not
destroyed distinctive features, and where
people still own patches of garden where
flowers and fruit are carefully tended
through the trying seasons of youth a
bright woman with the inventive mind
aforesaid had taken two old spring beds
which had done duty in their intended
roles until old age has broken their wires
and reduced their Stats to pitiatle stage
OF decrepitude, fastened them against her
back fence, and already trained vines are
beginning to creep about their insight
hness and peep through the Stats, with
promise of blossoms later on which shall
turn the old spring beds into a glory of
crimson and gold; and it is safe to say
that when the time comes no one who
is not initiated into the secret will be
able to tell the foundation of the trailing
vines.
Who can say that the Inventive mind
that turns the spring bed into such a
blessing to the eye Goes not rank with
the mind that first conceived the bed it.

make goods only to order, weaving the

entirely Brazilian.

COTTON MAY BE KING.
I am surprised at the extent of cotton
planting in Brazil. The amount raised is
on the increase and the day may come
when cotton will be king in parts of
Brazil, as it is in our Southern states. 1t

nearly all the ports. A great deal of 1t
goes to the Brazilian factories.
The government has now a tariff on
cotton goods which enables the cotton
mills to make money. Within the past
ten years 1856 cotton factories have been
established. and the most of these are
paying big dividends One factory paid
dividend of so per cent it's first year,

ciated. The song by the male quartette
was well received. john 4. Nickelsen

from the far north and have been flying
low over Eastern Oregon. In many
places it is claimed, they have kept so
low they could almost be killed with
clubs by people standing on the ground.
That this was done was positively as
serted by quite a number of people.
Down on the Columbia river in the
sloughs the geese have already congre-
gated in immense numbers, and hunters
are going there to slay them. 1t is
stated by old hunters that they have
