FIRST FLOWER OF sPRINeT,mE.

Near a pretty piece of woodland,
In sunny little nook,
Nestled meath spreading beech-tret
By the babbling meadow brook.
There's tiny snow-white blossom,
Fairest flower of all the fair,
First to greet US in the springtime,
In the chilly wintry air
While iJs fellows still lay sleeping
Meath the snow and ice about,
In this sunny sheltered corner
First appeared bud without.
Day by day l watched it growing,
Pulled the leaves and sticks away,
Let the sunshine brightly streaming
Ger its nescent beauty play.
As at dawn the sky grows lighter
At the coming of the morn,
So the bud grew greener, brighter,
Till my blossom fair was born.
lis so white, so pure, so lovely,
Set within its cup of green,
Living there among the snowdrifts,
Stranger sight was never seen.
Though the storm shall rage about it
And the snowfiakes falling fast
Hurry Kissing through the forest.
Borne upon the northwind's blast:
Nothing shall this blossom injure,
Nothing shall its beauty fear,
Nesting on the breast of nature,
First and fairest OF the year.

WHEN SHE PUTS ON POWDER.

How many kinds of powder puffs
are there?" repeated the pretty sales
woman in popular Chestnut street
me show you"
First of all came the puff of swans
down, the butterfly touch of which has
busted the perfumed powder over the
rose-leaf skin of innumerable babies
and the compilations of countless
women. Swansdown puffs with white,
ping or pale blue satin tops with tiny
bone handle to manipulate them cost
from 10 cents to so cents; puffs en-
tirely of swansdown from 25 cents to
$3.50, according to the size.
Round, fiat puffs of lambs wool as
white as that which grew on the back
of Mary's little lamb are 25 and SO
cents These are washable-an excel
lent quality in powder puff.
Diminurive puffs of swansdown hard
ly larger than curled-up feather and
almost as light are intended for the
silver or jeweled puff box which dan
giles from mademoiselle's chattelaine,
so that they are ready at moments
notice surreptitiously to bestow the
identifying touch of powder to shiny
nose. A wee puff ball of swansdown
costs 10 cents. When the puff is made
with top of white, pink or pale blue
satin and a tiny handle it's price is Is
cents.
Long puffs of swansdown with bone
handles tied with an infinitesimal bow
of pink or pale blue baby ribbon and
swansdown with lining of pink, blue
or white satin, and having a bone
handle, are 35 and so cents.
The proper accompaniment of the
lucky rabbits foot with which rouge
is applied is the powder puff of rab-
bits skin as soft as that which papa
went ahunting for to wrap the baby
in, Ball puffs or rabbit fur are 25
cents, or for the same price can be
bought rabbit puff with shirred satin
top.
The useful face chamois, busted with
powder, which many girls tuck in the
front of their shirtwaists in summer to
be brought out now and then to give
refreshing and identifying touch to
a hot or perspiring face, come in
square or oval shape and in white,
yellow or gray. You can get small
piece for cents, a larger for 10 cents.
These chamois can be washed, so that
they are readily kept in dainty condi-
ton.

WHAT ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
SAYS.
A Few Hints on Kindness to Horses.

A Few Hints on Kindness to Horses.
This is the season of driving. I
want to say word to all men and
women who own or are in the habit
of driving horses.
Do not let the blinders press
against the eyes of your horse. 1t az
fects the sight and produces blind
ness. Open the binders as much as
possible-gradually if the animal has
been always used to them-but with a
little more freedom of vision each day
you can soon accustom the eyes to
freer vision.
Make it your own case. Put a pair
of pasteboard covers each side of
your eyes, leaving only two or three
inches in front open, and go about
your work for few hours. You will
realize the discomfort, the strained
effect upon your vision, and the in
creased nervousness better by this
personal experiment than by anything
can write about
Then try the overdrawn check on
yourself. Take pipestem between
your lips sideways, put a cord on
either end, and fasten it to your belt
in the back. Bring your chin well up
in the air, and then go to work. Try
climbing hill with heavy bundle in
your arms.
After one experiment you will al
ways think TO loosen your horses
check-rein going up hill, or when he
stands.
Don't jerk the reins and scream at
your horse. Animals have nerves
horses and cats are especially ner-
vous, and loud voices, sudden move
ments and irritable tones injure them.
| must say our churches and our
Sunday sch6ols are terribly remiss in
using their Influence regarding the
treatment of animals. | doubt IL
twice in year anything is said to
children or adults in our churches to
make them think Of their duty to the
dumb, dependent brothers of ours.

SALEM AND A HIGH SCHOOL.

In the phamphlet sent out by the
Push Club. no mention is made Of the
great advantages OF coming 10 Salem
to live on account OF the excellence of
our public schools.
Yet that is the very first thing that
people inquire about who come from
the East Beyond running the district
I'm debt and collecting large sums Of
interest, nothing was ever done for the
Salem schools.
a prominent physician was In Salem
recently to find location, and was
greatly pleased with our city. His
daughter had finished the common
grammar grades, and was ready for
the high school He did not locate.
A family removes from Salem this
week or next. to send the children TO
high school I'm California city.
There is a democracy and a stimu-
lus 10 the best American effort in a
high school that Ia found by boys and
girls In no other institution.
Mary MacIane, OF Butte. has written
a book that is selling by the thousand
and she has no education but the Butte
high school.
Why every first and second.clans
town in Oregon can have a high school
aud Salem cannot has not yet been ex.
planned. Why all such high school
towns can have a lower tax rate than
Salem for school purposes has not been
explained.
Why Roseburg, Eugene, Albany, As.
toria, Pendleton, Baker City, Wood
burn and JEFFERSON can all have high
school grades taught In their public
schools has not been explained.
Why a prominent college In this city
always votes and works 10 keep down
the grades In the public schools is n
mystery. Other colleges favor higher
grades in the public schools.
The Journal believes that the people
believe, there Is a niger In the wood.
pile somewhere. and he ought to be
smoked out.
Let those who are opposed 10 high
school grades In our public schools
give their reasons. Let them come out
and show their faith In keeping down
our public schools, and tell the reason
why.
II no good reasons can be given then
lot Salem have ms good public schools
as her neighbors. and no longer have
the lowest grade public school.
