bearing destrnction 10 miami m.


To the west the Cascade range keeps
away the plentiful rains of spring, which
abundantly water the Willamette valley.
For years the rainfall has averaged be-
tween thirty and thirty-eight inches,
which is sufficient to grow apples with
out irrigation, and reduce to mini
mum the artificial watering of other
fruits. The valley is about twenty
miles long, and averages five miles in
width, containing an area of ga 900
acres. Owing to bluffs and tracts unfit
for culture, there is about $4,000 acres
available Tor tillage. Bisecting the
valley into the eastern and western por-
tions is the Hood River, which has its
source in the Eliot glacier of Mount
Hood, is fed by the eternal SHOWS and
ice Of that peak as they melt and tumble
through the DEVILS Punch Bowl and
into the Columbia river, near the town
of Hood River
To meet the demands of irrigation
Hood River has been tapped in two
places, 1000 acres have been placed
under irrigation, 10000 more prepared
for irrigation, and 1000 additional
acres have been cleared. OF the irri-
gated lands, 800 are in strawberries,
700 in apples in bearing, and 1900 in
apples not in bearing. In 1908 the
Oregon country produced $4,000 900
worth of fruit In the same year the
Hood River valley and the state of Ore
gon produced $2,50l 900 worth of fruit
The Hood River valley shipped 10000
crates of strawberries in 1904 season,
valued at $l50,000, and apples which
sold for $l25,000. Black berries, cherries,
raspberries and other fruits brought
$4,000. Fruit is not the sole product
of this wonderful little valley, for the
mountains skirting it south and west
contain fully billion feet of lumber,
which is within easy reach OF the saw
mills. This year more than 24,000,000
feet of lumber will be cut from the
mountainsides. In addition there is
the Hood River, from which can be
developed 100000 horse power to oper-
ate the industries which are bound to
come to this small garden of Eden,
snugly ensconced, with Mount Hood as
its guardian on the south, and the
rounded dome of Mount Adams showing
as plainly to the north.

him that you don't believe he can blow

ting to his lips a large tin funnel, with
the center of its mouth opposite and
near the fame, tell him to blow through
that.
He may blow until he becomes black
In the face without extinguishing the
candle. The harder he blows the
more it doesn't go out.
After he has given it up say, "It is
easy enough when you know how" put
the funnel to your lips and blow out
the candle. How? Simply by bringing
the rim instead of the center near the
flame.
When you blow through a funnel
your breath spreads and follows the
conical surface, leaving a region of
dead calm In the center. Your friend
blew all around the fame without
touching 1t, but you extinguish it with
a puff.

Clever Sparrowa,

One Of the prettiest sights as re-
CARDS seamen's pets was afforded by
six sparrOws which were tanned and
trained by an old bluejacket on board
a coal barge. He had trained them
to such a degree that they would
march in regular military order,
turning" and wheeling" as desired
by merely moving his hand. On each
of their heads he had fastened a small
piece Of scarlet cloth, cut so as to form
cockscomb, which gave the birds {
very saucy appearance as they wen
through their varied evolutions.

Animal Notes.

Naturalists tell us that sometimes a
single beaver will go off and live by
himself, leaving the colony to which
he belonged. Whether these "bache-
lor beavers" have been put out of their
native towns or leave of their own
free wills we do not know.
A gentleman on one of our western
ranches found a nest Of young rabbits
and took them In to his cat, supposing
she would make meal Of them, but
she surprised everybody concerned by
adopting them and bringing them up
along with her kittens.

That Ross was wrong and Wilkes

THE WOMANLY WOMAN.
Chief Elements in Her Education.

The big American banquet hall of with members of the Emma Willard association and their friends on the occasion of the thirteenth annual ban quet of the organization. Among the speakers were Chancellor MacCracken, Bishop Scarborough, of New Jersey, and Miss Spence, reports the New York Tribune, of recent date. Hun dreds of young men and women" said Miss Spence, "who have received their college degrees are not really edu- cated. They are thoroughly instruct ed, and perhaps amply equipped from a technical standpoint. But education means so much more than this. It means individual development, cul- ture, character Tn every walk in life, to accomplish our purpose, we must know clearly at the start what we mean to do. If colleges and schools would really succeed in turning out educated men and women in the high est sense of the word, they must first define that term. Is it to stand for nothing more than instruction in facts or other peoples ideas? Or is it to include soul culture, life broadening and true development and efficiency? To my mind mothers are largely re- sponsible for a child's (especially a daughter's) aimless life. The sole de- sire of, alas! so many, is that their children shall have a good time while they're young. And this is right enough, but they should remember that the good time of the butterfly is not necessarily the good time of the girl, and that the true good time and growth of character are not incompat- ible.
 True womanliness should be one of the chief clements of young wom- ans education. The unpardonable sins of womanhood are hardness and coarseness, dearth of gentleness and any guise of selfishness. A virtue that should be earnestly cultivated by the woman of to-day is a greater sheer ity in the manners and customs of society. This is the contribution all true women should make to the so- ciety of their time. Society needs gen. tie women in the true sense of that word. Only that education is worth while which stands for service to the world-in some form, material or i'm material, and the latter is often the more real of the two. In fact, the ideal, whatever it be, is the real an oft said saying, but one as often forgotten in the details of daily life.
 Ut is the privilege and no less the duty of every one who aspires to be called an educator to ever hold up this vision of the ideal, ever follow the gleam' live the great revelation in the details of daily life.'

AN UNLUcKY DEAL.
Illustrating the Mistake of Man Who Tries to Help Around
 the House.

When a married man gets out of his orbit, or off his half of the domestic carpet, so to speak, the consequences are always more or less disastrous to him, says the Detroit Free Press.
 We've just moved, said an unhap- py-Iooking man in a little neighbor- hood crowd of men who were buying their evening cigars at corner to- bacco shop "Or, rather, we are half moved Half our household truck has gone over to the new place, and half is still with us. Then I sold lot, too, and got myself in awful hot water. You know how it is when man starts out in his own house to do things without asking his wife"
 "Oh, yes; we know" echoed all the others.
 Tn our stable attic" the man con- tinued. i've had a lot of old stuff stored. I've heard my wife say dozen times that we must look it over and sell a good deal of 1t the next time we moved To-day she was over to the other house, and as was kind of stand ing round, not knowing where to take hold next, along came junk man through the alley. I hailed him and took him up in the stable attic; there I sold him an old table, an old high chair, battered old crib and a car pet. He gave me six dollars for the lot found a box of old battered brass trays, plaques and picture frames after he was gone, and peddled those off at nickel apiece to some neighborhood children who were tagging me around all day.
 "Of course, a man never really knows what he has sold until his wife tells him; and tomorrow I'm to chase all day after that junk man. I've sold our best parlor carpet, taken up when sum- mer came in. my wife's own highly treasured infants high chair and a crib which was also her mothers, and real mahogany table she had stored away to have done over. She herself had paid nine dollars for the old table, and was glad to get it at that Old ta- bles are getting scarce, she says"
 How about the brass objects?" some one asked
 "Oh. I've got to go around and buy those back, too" the man replied, sad ly. "They were high-art beaten brass nondescripts which my wife made her self at the age of 13, and she says her mother wouldn't part with them for anything"
