Portland, Ore, Oct. 13.-Coarse
grains are having smooth sailing in
the local market, for buyers are very
alert, and, while their purchases are
not heavy, they are taking all Offer
ings around prevailing figures for
early delivery. Deferred options are
not so brisk.
Reports from the interior state that
seeding operations in the grain belts
are not half of what they were a year
ago, and present indications are for
a smaller total output of fall-sown
than for the 1907 planting. The
ground has been too dry for success
full work IN many places, but where
the rains have been ordinarily lber-
al the operatios are heavier. This is
due to the unusually good prices. Re-
ports indicate that the barley and oats
acreage will show the heaviest in
crease this season.
Fat Cows Wanted.
Portland Union Stockyards, oct. IL.
There is a quite good demand for
good quality again. While the call in
the cattle market this morning con-
sisted mostly of good, fat cows weigh
ing around 1000 pounds; fat steers
are not neglected. Very little top
stuff is coming at the moment, but
when 1t is offered; there is no lack
OF call and while no sales are report
ed today beyond 81 the trade is of the
opinion that $4.25 can still be obtain
ed.
Hogs Fractionally Weaker.
There is fractionally weaker tone
in the hog market although sales
were still being made today as high
as 81. Very little top stuff is COM
ing and a large per cent Of the sales
are around $3.50 or $6.75. Feed stuff
is finding some little call around S5I
and $50. Arrivals in the hog market
over Sunday consisted of l05 head
compared with 1l5 on Saturday and
1855 for this same day year ago.
Sheep market is quiet with a very
small run reported in yards over Sun
day. Prices are practically the same
as on Saturday. The run today con-
sisted of 257 head compared with none
on Saturday or this day a year ago.
What the Dealers say.
Mr.. Benson OF Benson & Gould,
saws: THE hog market is somewhat
weak at the moment, although there
is no doubt that 81 could still be OBJ
tanned for best stuff. There is fine
call for fat cows, but steers are slight
Iy neglected
Lee NJ. Lacy of Hunt & Lacy: "The
livestock situation remains about the
same as last week. Hogs-that isl
good, fat stuff-woud still bring 81
and select steers will likely continue
at $4.?5."
A year ago today hogs were weak;
,attle and sheep firm. No change in
values for the day.
Today so horses arrived in the

PROPER WAY TO eLAcE FRUIT.
Must Be Perfectly Dry and the Sirup
Carefully Prepared.

Have the fruit perfectly dry. II or
anges, separate carefully each carpet
without breaking the skin; stand In
warm place till dry. Put one pound
of granulated sugar In q porcelain
lined kettle with a half cupful of
water over the fire to boil; do not stir
after the sugar is dissolved. After
this has boiled ten minutes try the
sirup by taking small portion on
the end of spoon and dipping 1t into
cup Of cold water and breaking 1t off
quickly; If it is brittle without being
at all sticky it Is just right. The sirup
must never be stirred or 1t will cause
granulation. Take quickly from the
fire, add tablespoonful of lemon
juice, stand in basin of boiling water
to keep from candying; with sugar
tongs or On the point Of skewer dip
the fruit into the sirup, lay on piece
of buttered paper in warm place to
dry.

PRAYED TO STATUE OF LIBERTY.
Chinese Crew, Amazed by Size OF
"Deity," Burn Incense and Chant.

When the 81 members of the Chi
nese crew Of the Braemer, tramp
steamship, found themselves under the
shadow of the Statue of Liberty the
other day at sunrise they rushed pell-
nell below decks, returned presently
in solemn state and while their braids
wiggled in the wind kowtoWed and
burned incense before the giant figure
1t was the biggest idol they had ever
seen, they declared afterward, and
they felt they owed it reverence de-
spite the fact that it was some thou
sands of miles from home and was
somewhat different from the deities
they had been accustomed to see
ing.
Capt L. S. Saxby and the first Off
Ger, w. w. Clark, of the Braemar,
which left Hongkong on July 3, were
surprised, says the New York Herald,
on looking for their crew to find that
not one of the Chinese sailors re-
NAMED on deck The haze had just
lifted from the bay and the great
statue stood revealed in all its grand
eur Hi Wen, Interpreter for the
crew, explained to the captain that O
few minutes previously the ceiest!als
had dropped everything and rushed
below deck as If all the devils Of
northern China were after them. They
cast back glances at the towering fig
ure of Liberty.
While Hi Wen was explaining this
hysterical disappearance to the cap
tain the 81 Cinnamon passed through
the forecastle gangway like funeral
procession, each carrying joss sticks
and turning his eyes toward heaven.
All ranged themselves along the deck
under the shadow of the Goddess Of
Liberty There they stood for five
minutes, chanting a celestial prayer
and bowing with true oriental dignity.
"Chinamen no sabe Clist," said Hi
Wen. Him man alice same you and
we: walkee round. Him big American
joss. Him good"
When the sailors had paid their re-
spects to the statue they returned to
their work, but at intervals during the
day they looked with awe at the gi-
gantic figure. They had never come
to America before, and they marveled.
Hi Wen said, what they would find in
lard when they encountered such
xvondar at tho mare threshold of the
country.

TRAVELLERS OF EARLY TIMES

entitled "Periplus," giving an account
OF his voyages, which was translated
and published about 1888, In the
Greek language.
Many, and not without some good
reasons, believe that an island or con-
tinent existed in the Atlantic ocean
about this period, which disappeared
afterward. Diodorus Siculus says that
some "Phenicians were cast upon a
most fertile island opposite to Africa"
OF this, he says, they kept the most
studied secrecy, which was doubtless
cccasioned by their jealousy Of the
advantage the discovery might be to
neighboring nations. This author lived
about 100 years before the Christian
era.
Islands lying west of Europe and At
rica are centainly mentioned by
Homer and Horace. They are called
Atlantides, and were supposed to be
about 10000 furlongs from Africa.
Here existed the poets fabled Elysian
fields. To quote again from Diodorus:

PASTE MADE FROM PEACHES.
Delicious for Sandwiches or Used as q
Breakfast Dish.

In the south they make a sweet
paste out of peaches that is quite pal
atable, says writer in the Philadel-
phia Ledger.
A peck of ripe peaches are used,
which are peeled and mashed. The
pulp is then pressed through coarse
sieve. To four quarts of this pulp Is
allowed one pint of brown sugar.
1t is mixed well, then cooked for
about two minutes. 1t should be stirred
all the time it is cooking. 1t is spread
on plates and put out in the sun to
dry. 1t should be left out for about
three days, taken in at sundown, and
put out early in the morning.
When it looks like leather and lifts
up easily from the plate when knife
is put under 1t, 1t is done.
1t is busted with white sugar and
put away for future use. 1t Is deli
cious between thin slices of white
bread for sandwiches, and Is also eat
en- with hot rolls in the morning.

God was willing to permit, and which
would be for his honor and glory.
And while God was visiting and
cheering jeremiah in the foul dun
geon, he was sending his messengers
to the rescue of the prophet.
While jeremiah was still lost In the
contemplation of the vision God had
given him he heard his name called
and instantly recognized the voice oi
Ebed-melech, the Ethiopian eunuch
who served in the kings house, and
who was his faithful friend.

Quickly the prophet obeyed, and

burst in upon his vision.
Never could he forget that expert

spirit Of God moved upon him, he
wrote: Mine enemies chased me sore,
like bird, without cause. They have
cut off my life in the dungeon, and
cast a stone upon me. Waters flowed

self the harsh Judgment Of others who
may choose to believe a lie. But one
course was open to jeremiah to whom
God had revealed his plan concerning
the certainty of judgment upon Jeru-
salem. He must speak, and speak the
truth, however unpopular and unwel-
come that truth might be.
Surely it could not appear very
loyal to his king and the city in which
he dwelt to counsel submission to the
king Of Babylon, and yet he knew
as God had revealed it to him that
resistance were useless and that the
judgment of God spoken against the
nation because of its idolatry and sin
could not be averted. And because

SERMON ETTE.

No prison has ever yet been
! built strong enough and tight
enough to keep the Divine pres
) ence from penetrating its inner
, most resesses and holding com.
) nunion and fellowship with the
one whose devotion to the cause
) of Righteousness has cast him
therein.
. jeremiah is only one of
myriads who through the ages
have found the dungeon made
glorious with the Divine pres
ence.
Joseph's prison became Gods
J schoolroom, where daily he
drilled the young Hebrew for
} the great place he was to fill.
The lions den becomes for DAN
, lei the Divine reception hall,
, the fiery furnace proves the
, trysting place where the faithful
three meet and talk and walk
} with their God. Paul found in
the inner prison at PhiIppi the
joy and harmony of heavenly
songs whose vibrations shook
the prison walls, and brought
the jaier to his knees a peni-
tent. From Paul's prison there
came the richest and best of his
writings. 1t was a Bunyan in
prison who gave to the world
that classic, "Pilerim's Prog
ress."
The darkest, most foul place
on earth may become the bright
est and sweetest place If faith
reaches up and claims that
heavenly companionship which
it is the privilege of every one to
enjoy.
The soul can always rise above
the physical condition. "Fear
not them which kill the body, but
are not able to kill the soul; but
rather fear him which is able
to destroy both soul and body in
hell."-The words of Jesus.
How subIimeIy he exemplified
this teaching, and how ready he
is to help his disciples to live
above the mere physical ard to
fear not man, but God.
Truth always has and always
will thrive on persecution. The
effort to suppress the prophet
jeremiah and to discredit his
message served but to advertise
him to the nation and to give
added force to his message. In
the dungeon Jeremiah obtained
new revelation from God so that
not only was his personal ex-
perence enriched, but his min
istry to the nation was strength
ened. Surely the wrath of man
does work to the praise of God.
