BARN BURNS AT BARNHART
STATION LAST EVENING

A fire, meagre particulars of which
only have been received here, de-
stroyed the barn of William Grigsby
at Barnhart, last night. The origin
Of the fire as well as the amount of
hay and other things contained in the
barn are unknown.
The structure was valued at $4,000
and so far as is known only insur-
ance carried on the barn or contents
was 5000 in the oregon Fire Relief
association, represented by Coutts G.
Hayes. The total loss will probably
be close to $1,000 and If any horses
or cattle burned 1t will be still
greater.

Told by the Grocer,

"I received one of the incest compli-
ments of my life this morning" said
a woman to her family at dinner the
other night.
"What was it?" came as in one voice,
for she was one of those popular
mothers who always receive plenty OF
attention from their children.
"Why. 1 went to the grocer's, as
usual, this morning, and as 1 gave my
order I asked the proprietor to please
send me kitchen sapollo and not hand
sapolio, as had been done. He took
the order, and as 1 started away he
said: DO you know, Mrs. k, I was
thinking of you yesterday
"'You were asked I; and what were
you thinking?'
"'Well, I was just thinking what a
s~plendidly clean house you must have,
was his reply, for you seldom give an
order which does not include soap and
sapolio. We grocers get to know just
what sort of people our customers are
by the orders they give.'"
She looked about with a pretty, con
scious air, and added: Nov, aren't you
proud of your mother and her house
keeping ability?"
The statement of that grocer leaves
room for reflection in the hearts of
many women, whose parlors are the
pride of their lives, but whose kitchens
look like pride after a fall. She who
is a careless housekeeper cannot keep
the fact secret very long. It is impos-
sible to hide all of the things which in
dictate carelessness. MOLLIE.

OUR ENGLISH COUSINS.
The Compilations of Their Ladies Seem
to Be Their Strong Point.

"Englishwomen are not well dressed
in the daytime. Therel Somebody had
to say it." Samuel G.. Blythe says it in
"An American in London" in Every
body's. but they do have red cheeks.
Everybody has to say that. You re-
mark tentatively to al Englishman
that the women appear rather i'll APP
~pareled-from an American viewpoint,
of course-look as if they hoped brisk
ly into their dresses in the morning, or,
mayhap, slept m them, and he %rejoins:
L know, my dear fellow, but observe
their complexions.' You observe their
compilations, and the compilations are
instantly observed to be worth looking
at a second time-clear and soft and
perfectly tinted. And when you see
these same ladies at the theatre or at
the big restaurants, or at a function of
some sort or another, you revise your
opinion, for you discover that, appar-
emily, the London woman doesn't care
much what she wears for street or
shopping purposes, but does care a
great deal what she wears in the even
ing: And you are lost in admiration
until some Grass person neal you, un-
doubtedly from America, asks: Why,
in Heavens name, do they keep on
their h%alf-soled shoes with their even
ing gowns?'

THE PASSING DAIRYMAID.
The Romantic Figure of the Good Old
Days.

Days.
One by one the institutions of ro-
nance and poetry are passing swiftly
away. No longer do the dairy nymphs
and satyrs haunt our groves and wood
lands; the fays n fairies have gone,
too, and Queen Titania's transient reign
is over. Elves nor sprites dance over
cobwebby meadows. Goddesses, even,
have had their day, and now-alas-the
dairymaid is but a memory. The ma
tional dairy show held recently at>Agri-
cultural Hall, London, marked the
passing of her sway, and the Lord
Mayor. who attended the exhibition,
felt grieVed. He was rather depressed
in going around the show to see that
there had been invented a machine
which might do away with dairymaids.
He was quite certain that dairymaids
were always very good looking and
always very useful. But they have
gone-faded away like the dews of the
morning. Science, ever the foe of art,
has perfected another soulless appar-
atls-a machine devoid of sentiment,
accomplishing its duty in a cold, mat
ter-of-fact way; doing just what is re-
quired of it, and nc more; in fact,
milking the cow. The blood ~congeals
at the mere thought of this device, this
octopus that would draw the very life
fluid from a stone and think nothing
OF 1t. Where, oh, where, then, is the
dainty dairymaid-she who once came
Hitting from the wings, ~large-eyed (the
effect of m~ake-up), sprightly and debo-
nair, leading her troupe of coryphees,
hght-hearted and gay who sang, I'VE
milk, milk, milk our gentle COWS, all on
q summer morning." How will the
operas get along without her? Or will
they, too, adapt themselves to the
changed circumstances? The blithe
mlkmaid that once did tarry by the
pasture gate (where the chances were
that the farmers boy met and kissed
her) adorns the rustic landscape no
more. h has gone into the shoe
FACTORY or the pickle works, or is doing
something equally prosaic, while a
machine is doing the work once the
mission of her fair, plump hands. OF
course, in modern times the dairymaids
have lost some of that old world dainti-
ness, and country trippers are apt to be
disappointed II they expect them to
wear Powered damask skirts of shoe
top length and nave refined COM
plexions. Still, aver this vision of love-
hness is about as rare now as a shep-
herdess of a domestic" and a per-
son might travel all day in an automo-
bile without seeing one. What will the
poets do now that she is gone? Will
they raise the price of their rondeaux
and ~villanelles on account of the scar
Lefty of millSmaids? And il they do,
who will accept their verses? If sci
ence goes very much further. we shall
attend the opera some night, and at a
cue from the stage manager the chorus
will flock in carrying patent milking
machines. The orchestra will strike up,
and we shall recognize our old friend,
the stage milkmaid, from the music

RAILROAD INTO ATLANTIC.
Concrete viaducts Carry the Key West
Tracks Over Miles of Open Water.

The lii came at length to-a bay four
miles in width between Lower and
Upper Metacumbe Keys. The land is
so low that the farther shore almost
dipped below the horizon. Across this
body of water the railroad pushed its
way on trestlework and rock embanlI-
ment, all of which will be filed in solid
before the work is finished. Then the
builders brought up at Long Key,
where the first great viaduct was con-
structed.
For two miles across the green sea
this structure towers as a. wall OF
masonry carried on noble arches-1SO
of them, built of concrete reinforced
with steel. 1t has the aspect of a
Roman aqueduct built of solid stone,
and it's colossal strength and dignity of
outline are framed in a setting alto
gether lovely. The cost of this n link
between the keys was a million and a
half dollars for two miles of construc-
ton, but unless a ferry is operated so
that travellers may see it from a dis
tance, he will miss any adequate view
of this noble and impressive structure.
Only one more stretch of open water
comparable with this remains to be

Key, the present terminus, to Bahia
Honda. Even after seeing the Long
Key viaduct, the observer cannot view
this great expanse of sea below
knights Key without a sense of Won
der and in%credulity at the thought that
it is to be bridged. Before him SHIN
mer seven miles of ocean to the
farthest key. seven miles without a
square foot on which a mar may walk
dry-shod. In fact, Bahia Honda Key
is SO far distant that it dips below the
hofizon and is invisible from the
waters edge. SO far as can be seen,
it is a matter of launching a railroad
straight at the blank horizon of tho
Atlantic. OF this seven miles of sea,
three miles will be bridged by two con-
crete viaducts of equal length, leaving
four miles of solid-rock embankment
to be raised. Omitting this unfinished
work, III completed road to knights
Key has wrought itself over thirteen
miles of open water and nineteen miles
of submerged swamp in ninety-two
miles of track.-Ralph D. Paine in

Willing Away Hours.

A bride of last week announced a
few days before her marriage that only
the 'big furnishings" of her house had
been purchased. II know 1 am going
to have a great deal of time to myself
during the next year or so, and 1 ex-
pect to spend many an otherwise lone
some hour in the shops, hunting for
all sorts of bargains,
you know how hard it is to obtain
really nice bric-a-brac and other home
accessories without going bankrupt be-
fore you are half through buying? Well,
I'm going to be a model of economy,
but at the same time 1 am going to
have everything I want, sooner or
Hers is a plan which many a pros
pective bride might well adopt. Time
does hang heavily on the hands of the
young wife, whose house needs little
since there is no to upset it;
and many a pleasant afternoon may be
spent in profitable search for pretty and
useful housefurnishings.

Did it ever occur to you that the
world is fun of people who are so busy
mlnding other peoples business that
they have but little time to mind their
own?
They interest themselves so much in
the duties of others and fret about how
their work is being performed that
they really neglect to bring out the
best in themselves.
They are what the world calls "busy-
bodies and it is just the name that
fits most of these people.
Have you never met women who
criticize the way you run your house q?
They see so many places where you
could improve; they discuss your af-
fairs with other people and tell the
many little ways wherein you do not
come up to their standard. They find
fault with the way you are bringing
up your children. In short, one would
be led &c believe that they under
stood the management of your home
better than you do yourself.
But how about their own homes and
their own affairs? Can either be prop
erly managed while they are busy
handing out advice to other people?
'fYou should do this or that" or IF 1
We're doing so and so ] would do it in
this manner you often hear people
say.
You listen and take II all in, because
you don't want to seem rude, but If
you could sLeak your mind some
Of these ''busy-bodies' might not have
such a wonderful opinion of their
capabilities.
There are times when most Of us
need the help and advice of other peo-
pie on certain things, but it's quite a
different thing to exchange ideas with
your neighbor about how a certain
dish should be prepared, or whether
certain new lab~or-saving kitchen de-
vices are better than the expenditure of
strength and energy, and allowing
them to come in and try to run your
own home.
I once knew a man who held q posi-
ton of trust and who was in a fair way
of being advanced, had he only known
enough to mind his own business. But
that was the rock on which he
~foundered. He knew better than the
next person how hat particular per-
sons work should be done. He was Sc
active in minding other peoples bust
ness that he neglected his own and,
consequently, was reduced.
Each one of us has certain duties in
this world, and 1t should be our aim to
do them well. If it comes our way to
aid a neighbor in distress, do it with
the best grace possible, without over
stepping bounds. Remember, 1t is their
privilege to mind their own particular
Business.

HOME MADE SACHETS.

Different odors for sachets may be
prepared by buying cypress powder,
which any good druggist should keep,
and seeming it. The essence or oil,
extract, will be required for this,
and a few drops will be enough. 1t is
impossible to give the quantity, for
the strength depends upon its purity.
The powder should be sifted, and after
the oil is dropped over the combination
must be tightly closed in a bottle for
several days for the odor to mingle.
