Her Linlit.

The old generation of Galloway lairds we"e a primitive and hospita- ble race, but their conviviality some times led to awkward occurrences. In former days, when roads were bad ant wheeled vehicles almost unknown, au old laird was returning from a supper party with his lady mounted behind him on horseback. On crossing the river Urr at a ford at point where it joins the ses the old lady dropped off, but was not missed until her husband reached his door, when, of course there waiean immediate search made. The party who were dispatched in quest of her arrived just in time to find her remonstrating with the advancing tide, which trickled into her mouth, in these words: No anither drap, neither het nor cauld."-London Tit-Bits.

kneaded Earth,

Even old Pllng wrote of "pisework, " pronounced 'pee-say-work." 1t was suggested by the building processes ot the ants, and the durable walls made according to those wonderful arch tects of the insect tribe were called "formacie." The method was well known to the ancients, and some of the oldest houses in the world today are of this construction. Rondelet writes of chateau in the department of Ain, France, which he repaired in 1764: Tt was at least 150 years old, and the walls had acquired a hardness and compactness equal to ordinary stone, so that in charging the windows and oth- CT apertures the workmen used the same tools as in quarry" Pie is simply kneaded earth.

The Old Warming Pan.

"Yes. that is fine specimen of the old brass warming pan," said an anna teur collector of antiques, quoted by the Philadelphia Record, .but 1t hangs on the wall from this time on. It will not be brought into requisitlon for ac tual warming purposes again. It's too good" Then he added contemplative ly: "My daughter thought 1t would re new the ancient flavor of things to put that warming pan to use. So on one of the coldest nights of the winter she filled the pan end with live coals, shut the lid and put the pan into one of the beds. In little while the house was filled with smoke. which, on being traced to its origin. was found to come from the bed. which was afire. With few olden time wood enbers these warming pans were all right. but with live anthracite they simply overdo the job. We put out the fire, but, as say from this time on the warming pan hangs on the wall empty"

 Every yard ought to have it's %hry 7. They give to 1t a charm which nothing else can supply. On very small grounds they take the place of trees; very satie factoriy. Indeed they are prefera bic there because they are not likely to outgroU the limits assigned them, as trees will in time, and they do not make shade enough to bring about the insanitary conditions which are almost always found to exist in small places where the trees have made strong de. velopment.
 Shade is q pleasing feature in sum mer, but there i; such a thing as hay. ing too much of it. We frequently see places in which the dwelling is almost hidden by a thcket of trees. and ex- animation will show that the house is always damp and that the occupants Of it are unhealthy. Look at the roof, and you will be likely to find the shingles covered with green moss. The only remedy for such condition of things Is the thinning out or removal of some of the trees and tie admission of sun light. Shrubs can never be charged with producing such state of things hence my preference for them on lot where ti!cre is pot much room.
 Vines can be used upon the walls o the dwelling; and about the verandas

 It takes years for a tree to grow tn good size, while a shrub Will-or ought to at least-be in it's prime the third o' fourth year from planting and gener ally affords q satisfactory degree o' pleasure to it's owner from the start.

4 Words Birthday.

It is curious to see how a new word extends our vocabulary For instance, the discovery of photography has led to 234 words being added to the Ian guage. Dr. Murray fixes March 14, 1889, as the birthday of the word pho tography." It was on that day that Sir John Herschel used it in a paper which he read before the Royal so. ciety. The new word took root in France, and two or three months later when Argo made his report to the chamber of deputies concerning the pension of M. Daguerre he quoted photographic" as generally accepted word.

Railroad Not Building In Has Hurt the
Business

Newport, June 27.-(SpeciaD -
The people here are very grateful to
the Willamette Valley Development
League for calling attention to the
failure of the railroad company TO
build from Yaquina down here, as
they promised to do and this city
gave them franchise two years ago
for that purpose. IL Is now under
stood that steps will be taken to va
cate that franchise as soon as 1t ex-
pires by limitation. So far not near
ly as many people are coming in as
were expected, as there is general
over the road not be-
ing extended down TO this city. The
steamer not only does not accommo-.
date the travelling public, but is
unsafe by many people
who say they will not continue 10
come here and take chances on that
tug. While travel may fall on by
the railroad and boat, there will be
more than ever by hack, as the
county road is In better condition
than ever. The new county road is
taking many people south to the new
summer resort at otter Rock and
farther up the coast.

then reversed the gun and dealt the
father a blow on the head with the
gun, breaking the stock and inflct-

Megordon then made rush for
his bedroom, where his revolver,
which he had purchased two years
before, was concealed, and the moth
'er, anticipating bloodshed, told the
son to run for his life, as the father
had gone for his gun. The boy fled,
and the father pursued. and when
they had gained the road the father
fired three shots at the fleeing form
of his son, when the latter pitched
forward into the sagebrush and un-
der a fence. The father, evidently
thinking he had killed the boy,
then turned his attention TO his wife
and the other two children. who were

While the children clung TO the
skirts OF their mother in terror, she
turned and raised her hands In sup
pllcation to her husband and begged
piteously for her life. He grabbed
her by the shoulder, turned her half
round and pressed the muzzle of the
revolver To her left breast and fired.
With a stifled shrick the mother
sank dead at his feet, while the chill
dren wept bitterly over her pros
trate form. MegoNion, without say

about a mile distant. and calmly told
the doctor that he had better go out
and see his wife. as he thought she
had been hurt"
In the meantime the elder son
whom the mother and father thought
had been killed, but who had only
jumped into the brush to hide, had
witnessed the brutal murder of his
mother. came out OF his hiding place
and the three children, not knowing
that life was extinct, placed the be

negro who was executed at 6 o'clock
yesterday morning in st. Louis.
Tuesday the sheriff asked King II he

the negro. after pondering for some

up every other desire. II he could
have all the fried chicken he could
consume for the three meals remain
ing to him.
His request was granted, and the
prison ch"f had orders 10 put up the
food in the best possible style. Last
night King had his first supper of
fried chicken. and he ate three large
birds, with trimmings. He had a
similar meal at midnight, and was
fed again just before the hour set
for execution. The sheriff also sup
piled him with cigars, iced bananas,
oranges and coffee.

Is progressing nicely and rapidly.
The party has been in. the field
every working day, rain or shine
since the survey began Their
methods are very systematic and

furnished, the land owners will
have all data required for the
organization of the drainage dis

this organization can be effected
so that the work Of channeling
and strengthening the creek can

will of'orG q va luablc o )ject less

doubt similar enterprises will be
projected ii other parts of the
county, or along other parts Of

this one demonstrates The feast
bility and The benefits of such an
undertaking.
