Sermon In a Few Words.

We are very much impressed by
something we saw and heard while
passing along the street a few even

with hangdog expression on his
face, was young STRIPPING Of 3
youth. As we passed the two the
girl said to the boy, "Any one who
speaks of my father as the old man.
is not worthy of my respect" From
the tone of her voice we knew that
the girl spoke from the impulse of
a moment, but there was a whole
sermon in her utterance. We don't
know the girl, but if she lives she
will develop into a noble woman
hood, and the world will be better
for her having lived in it. And the
boy, if he has any redeeming quail
ties in him, will profit by the lesson
given him in that one SENTENCE

Show a Bad Example,

A grocer who was noted for his
carefulness had an advertisement
inserted in a local newspaper for a
message boy, and a young fellow
who understood the kind of a gen.
tleman who was advertising came to
apply for the situation, and while
the grocer was telling him how care
full he must be a fly settled on bag
Of sugar, and the grocer caught it
and threw it away. The boy then
said:
eff you want me to be careful
you are showing me a bad exam

"Why?" replied the former.
Because" said the boy, "you
have thrown that fly away without
brushing the sugar off its feet."-

Notes on Oregon.

The Open River meeting at
The Dalles joined the concentra-
ed force of the best workers of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
The improvement of the entire
Columbia River should be under
continuous contract now that the
United States Government engi-
neers last survey, made in June,
showed 25I-2 feet of water over
the bar at lowest tide, with 32 La
feet at high tide.
The Interior, the official pub
lication O. the Presbyterians of
the United States, devoted 16
pages of its October issue to
Portland as a Presbyterian city,
in which the attractions of Ore
gon are effectively presented.
The illustrations show, among
other things, an irrigation canal,
agricultural, fruit and cattle
scenes, handling OF logs, the
production Of roses, and the
strength of the city and the state
fro u a church and educational
standpoint. The author of the
article is Mr.. Nolan R. Best,
Managing Editor of the Interior,
WHO gathered his information
personally while on visit to Ore
gon.
Contract has been let for the
grading of the tract of ~the Port
land County Club and Live
Stock Association, and the archi-
tects a-e at work upon plans tor

Be Not Afraid.

He has not learned the lesson of
his life who does not every day sur
mount fear. If you have no faith
in a benefcent power above you,
but see only an adamantine fate
coiling its folds about nature and
man, then reflect that the best use
of fate is to teach US courage. If
you have no confidence in any for
eign mind, then be brave because
there is always one good opinion
which must always be of Importance
to you-namely, your own.--Ralph
Waldo Emerson.

Head Shaking CockereIs.

Some cockerels shake their heads
from pure nervousness, others because
Of irritation from vermin or other
cause and still others because Of
excessively large combs. Irritation
from frosting of combs and wattles
will cause birds to shake their heads
vigorously. Frosted combs when first
discovered should be rubbed thorough
ly with snow or bathed in very cold
water. This treatment should be fol-
lowed by an application Of unguentine
or of 2 per cent carbolated vaseline.

HEALTHY CHICKS.
They Are Insured by Vigorous Parents
and Careful Incubation.

Now is the time to make preparations
for the Matching campaign of next win
ter, and for that reason the following
hints from Reliable Poultry Journal are
timely:
To secure best results in Matching
use only sound, vigorous, fully matured
breeding stock that is well housed and
properly fed and cared for. + should
be remembered that carelessness in
saving eggs for Matching may result in
chicks dead in the shell, for anything
that tends to weaken the germ is liable
to result in the death of the embryo
at some stage of incubation. Eggs for
Matching had best be kept at tenn
perature between 40 and so degrees f,
neither above nor below. Exposure to
too low temperature is Ii to in
jure the germ, and prolonged exposure
to a temperature above 60 or 70 is
almost certain to injuriously affect the
egg contents, particularly the yolk, and
to weaken the germ. Eggs for hatch
ing should be as fresh as possible. The
longer they are kept the weaker the
germ becomes. Under favorable condi-
tions they may be safely kept from
two to four weeks, but as rule three
weeks should be the extreme limit.
Careless or improper incubation may
also result in chicks dead in the shell.
Overheating or prolonged exposure to
q temperature of 104 or above is liable
to seriously injure the egg content and
result in death of the embryo before
exclusion or of the young chick within
the first few days after Matching. The
cellar is all right if you keep it well
aired

PARIsIAn DuELs.
There Are Three kinds-Trieks to
Gain Time While Fighting.


Duels are common enough IN
France nowadays, but they are rob
bed of their picturesque side, says
the Household Brigade Magazine.
They may be divided into three
categories, which I place in the or
der of their frequency of occur
rence-journalists' duels, duels that
are the outcome of tongue too
well hung OF fabricated by an over
dose of alcohol, and, thirdly, those
where the opponents are out to kill
if they can. The above order also
represents the degree of publicity
accompanying each.
Of those due to an i'll considered
or i'll bred remark comparatively
few come to an interchange of shots
or thrusts, but fzzle out after an
interchange of cards. Morning
brings a more reasonable frame Of
mind, and things are quieted down
by those unfortunate individuals
who have been selected as seconds.
When such encounters do take place
at least one of the principals is only
too desirous for privacy to be main
tanned, the safest possible condi-
tions are arranged, and one only
hears about the affair after it is all
over.
The materials for disagreement
are usually a night restaurant and
the one extra bottle which might
have been dispensed with. Only
recently a respectable married man
found himself confronted in COM
bat by an unknown Argentine with
whom he had apparently had dis
agreement the night before at a
well known second rate cosmopol-
itan cafe much frequented between
about 2 a. m. and breakfast time.
Neither of the gentlemen knew
quite what it was all about, but
their seconds said it was all right,
so they had to go through with it,
and no harm was done. The third
] type of duel is serious and very
rare. It usually takes the form Of
row about a lady.
There are a good many tricks to
gain time in dueling. Dropping the
sword is one, resting the point on
the ground or making wide parry
SO as to scrape the ground is anoth-
er. In either of these cases the
point has to be sandpapered and
treated with an antiseptic or held
in flame, so that there may be no
risk of a wound being poisoned.
With pistols the conditions are
arranged according to the serious
ness Of the quarrel. As a rule, duel
ing pistols at twenty-five PAGES are
used. The dueling pistol is muzzle
loaded and rifed. Its pull off is
regulated by the circumstances;
also the powder charge. Seconds
often arrange to put in only sufi-
cient powder to drive the bullet out
of the bore. Sometimes they drop
the bullet into the left hand when
loading and hammer an imaginary
one down the barrel.
