Arranging the Window Garden.

How often do we notice a shelf
filed with small plants in the window
garden, many varieties grouped pro-
miscuously until the characteristics Of
each are entirely destroyed. Arrange
each class Of plants in a separate
clump, and you will be surprised to
note the difference in their appear
ance. Take such plants as primroses,
cyclamen, violets and ferns and ar
range them alternately on the plant
shelf. Now group all the ferns in the
center Of the shelf, the tall sword fern
III the middle, with the broad-leaved
sorts next and the beautiful maiden
hair fern and other dainty varieties
dropping from the edge Of the shelf
On one end Of the shelf, at little
distance from the ferns, group the diff
ferent varieties Of primroses in such
manner that contrasts in foliage and
blossoms will be readily noted. On
the other hand, arrange the cyclamen
blossoms, nodding daintily above the
dark foliage, and the great difference
between the careless and artistic ar
rangements will be at once apparent.
Good Fence Gate.
Where the farm Is divided into a
number Of fields it is often somewhat
of a 1aborious task to pass from one
field to another, and especially when
animals are to be driven from one Sec
ton to another Of the farm. A gate
such as here described Is easily placed
in a section Of any division fence,
whether Of wire, rails or boards. Ar
range the point of opening SO as to
have firm corner posts, then make a
gate four feet wide; light post is set
before the ends of the boards are cut
If the gate is erected as a part Of a
board fence. Two strong strips are
nailed on the gate portion and three
strong strap hinges are fastened on
the boards where cut next to the post.

GROWTH OF GOVERNMENT.

The demand for new departments,
both in state and national govern
ments impresses vividly upon the peo-
pie the rapid material growth of the
country.
Within the past few years a new
cabinet officer has been added, the
secretary of commerce and labor and
numerous departmental extensions
have been made. Now the mining in
dustry of the nation demands a sep
arate bureau or cabinet office and
department of mines and mining
Soon the railroad question will de-
mand a minister of railroads and
other national industries will require
direct supervision by a cabinet Off
Ger.
In the state of Oregon the, same
growth is noted. A secretary of cor.
porations has been added TO the Of
flee of secretary of state. The title of
insurance commissioner has been given
to the secretary and now it seems
necessary to establish department
or secretary for the inheritance tax.
The inheritance tax issue is one
which must receive the most careful
consideration of the legislature for as
the country grows older and richer
the revenues from this source will
nece essarily increase.
Fortunes are increasing rapidly il

and the legislature must provide wei

form of wealth.

Get rid of the
Lard Habit =

Cottolene makes pies and pastry digest
ible-it makes crisp, faky pie-crust-the
kind that will melt in your mouth rather

There is no getting away from the fact
that lard is the fat of the pig. There was
a time in the olden days when lard was
made from particular part of the pig, the
selected part-it was called the "leaf"-
that is, the peritoneum; but, with the
growth Of the industry lard is now thrown
on the market made from pig-fat from all
portions of the animal, and lard, today, is
not as good as the lard of years ago-in fact

WILLAMETTE PHILOSOPHY.

The purchase of the locks at ore
gon City by the United States govern
ment for use of the people of VILLAIN

by the politicians of the Willamette
valley if those gentlemen are willing
TO take their own medicine in legisa-
tive matters.
How many OF the people of the
United states will patronize the ore
gon CITY locks" How many people
will be benefited by this purchase
Why spend the peoples money for
merely LOCAL improvement when it
cannot possibly benefit the entire ma
tion at once?
This is fair argument, according tt
the Willamette valley politicians

ONE LONE HERO.

In the three big wrecks that have
occurred in recent years on Puget
sound and the coast adjacent to the
sound only one woman or girl
been saved.
The Valencia horror, which is still
fresh in the minds of the people was
the more appalling because of the fact
that the women and children on board
the ill-fated ship We're all lest. In
that disaster only big, strong men
were saved, and the women and chill
dren left to shift for themselves.
The record Of the Clallam is the
same and now comes the terrible dis
aster to the little steamer Dix with
hut a single exception to the rule that
marked the action of the strong
against the weak in the other disas-
ters.
With this record of manhood de-
stroyed by fear of death as his only
guide, 14-year-old boy passenger or
the steamer Dix struggled to save the
life of a girl companion. His effort:
made it possible for his young com.
panion to be rescued, but it cost hin
his own life.
Looking back over the history o
the three big wrecks the only nam,
that stands out prominently for brav
cry and heroism is that of ROLAND
Price, this lone boy hero.

may be relied upon to give their as
sistance to Umatilla county, it is
hoped. Portland will perhaps give
eastern Oregon some valuable assist
ance and even though a strong anti
Jute plant sentiment has developed
around Salem, yet it is hoped that the
farming and stock growing counties
which need relief from the jute trust
will have sufficient strength TO pass
the measure.
The amount saved to the farmers of
the state on one years grain sacks will
be sufficient to establish the plant.
Even though it may not be possible
to start a large mill at first, yet a
start must be made and the capacity
Of the plant increased as the state
develops more prison labor.
The day of investigation has passed.
The fair-minded members of the leg
islature who did not come to Walla
Walla prejudiced against the project
in advance, found that a jute plant
will be benefit. Very little of the
outspoken opposition heard now is the
res'ilt of the investigation. 1t existed
before and has been made public since

THERE Is REALLY NO DEFICIT.

First of all | wish to protest against
the bookkeeping which demonstrates
the existence of this apparent deficit
in the revenues of the postoffice de-
partment, amounting in round num-
bers to $14,6OO.OOO.
In point of fact there is no deficit
in the revenues of this department.
The fault is with the bookkeeping. Be
cause of the existing system of book
keeping the pOstoffiCe department is
made to carry the burden that ntaur-
ally and properly belongs to the other
executive departments Of the govern
ment. | refer to the franking privi-
lege. which is exercised not merely
by the postoffice department. but by
each of the other executive depart
ments. Under this privilege the post
office department is compelled to pay
the expense of carrying the free mail
| matter sent out by the agricultural
| department, the department of war,
the department of the navy, the de-
| partment of state, the department Of
! commerce and labor, and the depart
ment of justice.
l am attempting to show, first Of
| all, that there is no deficit in the rev
enues of the postoffice department;
| that the apparent deficit is caused by
the faulty bookkeeping which charges
up to the postoffice department the
! $2O.O0O,OOO which is properly a por-
| ton of the expense of maintaining the
other departments of the government,
| and should be charged to those other
| departments.
We will be entirely conservative
and say that the expense of carrying
all the franked matter. including that
of the postoffice department itself
amounts to s2O,OOO,OOO, and then al
low S5,O0O,00O for the expense Of car
rying the franked matter of the post
office department alone, and then
there are $15,OOO,OOO now charged to
the postoffice department which in no
way belongs to it, and which should
be charged up to the other depart
ments of the government
| repeat that the conclusion Is fore
ed upon us that the postoffice depart
ment is carrying a burden of nearly

Mr.. Chairman, it is perfectly apparen
that instead of a deficit in the reven

there was absolutely no deficit.
Now why should this vast sum
which ought to be charged up to th'
other departments, be dumped upol
the postoffice department, and an op
portunity be given to the press of tn
country and to the people of tn
country, who are unfamiliar with tn

AN IMPERFECT WORK.
After All, There Ia No Occasion for
 Man's COnceit.

Man's COnceit.
 It Is the general idea that man is wonderful work-a perfect worl1-but, as Haeckel and comparative anatomy point out, the human body is, as mat ter of fact, structure at once incom- plete and redundant structure lack ing many necessaries and crowded with opportunities, with obsolete mus cles and nerves, which have become shriveled and paralyzed because there is no longer any use for them. It is amusing to think of improvements that might be made in the human body, writes a pessimist.
 Take the eyes. The two eyes are very good in their way, but if there were three of them how much better 1t would be. If man had an eye in the back of his head, as certain insects have, he would never be run down, never be stabbed from behind, never be kicked. Man, with three eyes, could see and do twice as much as now.
 The hair might well be improved. It is poor stuff alongside of feathers. Look at the beautiful feather head dresses of the birds. These are far richer and brighter !n hue than human hair, and they last. They don't dis appear. No one ever saw a bald bird.
 The ears are not at all perfect. As the eyes are provided with lids, so that we can shut them tight when we want to sleep, so the ears should be provided with movable flaps or stoppers where with to shut out sound.
 If the teeth endured there would be little fault to find with them. But, like the hair, they fail man long before the end of life. Hence it would be better if, like some birds, men had indestruct- ibe teeth in their gizzards, and swal- lowed their food whole, letting the gig gard grind it up gradually. This would not destroy the pleasure of eating. On the contrary, it would increase it. There would be nerves of taste in the giZzard, and thus the eating pleasure would be greatly prolonged. The food would be swallowed in jiffy, and afterward, as man attended to his work, he would get for many hours pleasant tastes from the dainties the gizzard would be slowly and carefully grinding up.

A Habit with Him.

There was business man in little Western town who never had a good word for anybody. Every one held him in more or less fear and many disliked him strongly. He made no effort to cultivate friendships, and at one time or another almost every inhabitant of the village had had quarrel with him. One day the old lion tried to board a train which did not stop. He was thrown a great distance and fell in a heap on the track in the rear of the departing train. The group of villag- CTS on the depot platform thought that their hereditary enemy had been killed before their eyes and were ready to drop all their bitter prejudices at the grave.
 One ran up to where the fallen mon- arch lay, and, seeing signs of return ing life, anxiously asked: Are you badly hurt, captain?"
 With the first short breath the fallen man was able to draw he gasped: "No, you d-d old fool That's the way I always get off a train."-Kansas City Times.

A Freak Statue.

One of the most interesting freak statues in England is to the memory of Sir k. Holmes. It is to be seen in the church at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. The funny thing about it is that it was not originally intended to represent that naval celebrity. It was sculp- tured for and represented Louis XIV. of France and was being conveyed to that country when the vessel contain. ing it (and also the sculptor) was cap- tured by an English ship commanded by Sir R. Holmes.
 The body was finished, the head be. ing left for completion on its arrival in France. On learning who it was for the English commander compelled the sculptor to finish it by chiseling his (Holmes') head on the Kings body.

When Paradise Corner organized its woman's club, it was determined that everything should be done in the most businesslike way. My husband makes so much fun of women's meetings" said one of the youngest members. "He says women never remember to say Mrs. President, or speak of the chair or the secretary'-that is he says they are liable to forget at any time, and mention names instead; but told him we shouldn't, any of us.
 "Why, as I told him, we are so par ticular that when we had that extra meeting at Miss Lowden's, and it was so hot, and Miss Ransom looked about baked in her new coat, Miss Lowdel feels so strongly that we mustn't ever run to careless ways of speech, that she said, Wouldn't 1t be wiser for the chair to remove its coat though it is so awfully becoming to it?' And it really did sound a little queer till you thought 1t over."
