If that bo the case, most of -us ruins it mightily tlmt'i all we have to ay. A good doul of our failure to be happy is our owii fuult, but much of it is undeserved and purely the fault of others. If we chose to stop and think, we would soon Hue ulso how we in turn lntiiot nuiiuppiuoKs upon others in a most uncullitd for wuy. When we find duo of our frionds in an irritable mood, do we try to soothe him or go uwuy uud let him alone? Mot by any rucaus. We cast ubout in our minds to boo what snBgestinns we can make that will irritate him a trifle more. This we do ns a wholesome les son, we profess. We want to teuch him that there's no use in getting so cross about trifles. And what are we that we should set ourselves up as mentors to teach anybody anything I Let them learn their own lessons from life. That is a better teacher than we could possi bly be. Half the uubuppinoss that comes into children's lives nay, three-fourths, we may say. arises from the unkind teas ing and irritation of those older even their adult relatives. "Oh, Mury s so cross!" they say, and then they proceed to make her crosser if possible by every petty aggravation they can think of. This should be classed under the head of cruelty to children, we think. Phil adelphia Call. Barken, Women Who Wear AlgreUt The aigret, so much affected by wom en in head decorations at the present time, is made of the slender, decom posed dorsal feathers of the small white aigret, or heron. These feathers form the bird's nuptial ornament, being acquired at the pairing time and shed when the breeding is over. The bird inhabits her onries, and it is in the breeding season that they are sought for by the feather hunters. It is then, too, that their anx iety for the safety of thoir young mukes them fearless of the gunners, the in stinct of self preservation being over mastered by the love of their offspring. As they hover in a white clond over the heads of the hunters they are shot down without trouble, and when the few orna mental feathers have been plucked from each bird the carcasses are thrown down in a heap to fester in the sun, and the fledgelings are left to starve in the nests I Westminster Gazette. A religion that does not stick to a man during business, is no good after bind- ness hours. The old-fashioned woman has put on her' best duds, and gone to an after noon reception.

Thompson had six rollers at work on his fields, near Medioal lake, nearly all of last week. Mr. Thomp son has nearly 600 acres of wheat in, and expects to thresh from 10,000 to 13,000 bushels next fall. It is estimatd that the cost of juries and bauffs for the term of court in Walla Walla just closed will amount to more than $3,100. Most of this was due to the trial of the oases against Reinhold Barras and Eicbler. The saloon men of Ellensburg want their lioenses reduoed to $300 and an ordinanoe passed requiring all saloons to olose at 13 o'clock midnight, of eaoh weekday and to remain closed till 6 A.

It is an odd ooinoidenoe that Oregon and Washington should eaob have a vaoanoy in the offioe of pilot commis sioner to be filled at the same time.

The ship ment contained 4,000 pounds, and went to the San Franoisoo market. The shippers were paid an advance of 8 cents per pound. School Superintendent Newbury, of Jaokson oounty, last week made the regular semi-annual apportionment of the sobool funds, amounting in the aggregate to $13,485.40, or a per oap- ita of $1.65 and $60 to eaoh district, aa provided by law.

Colonel W. H. Dewey Is expected to arirve from Pittsburg in about ten days, and shortly thereafter aotive work will be commenced on the con struction of the $100,000 twenty -stamp quartz mill his oompany will erect at Booneville to work the ore from the rioh Booneville, Florida Hill, Seventy nine and Mother Lode mines. From all indications this year will be an aotive one in mining in Custer county, says the Challis Silver Messen ger. Our mines are not boomed to any great extent on the outside; they do not require it, as they show for them selves. Just how much work will be done on them this year depends greatly on the prioe of lead and silver. Montana. It is now definitely known that Phil lipsburg will have a oustom smelter. This is badly needed for that section as it is a well-known faot that even had the ores of the great Granite Mountain mine been treated by smelting the profits would have been greatly in creased. The copper market is quite satisfac tory to all concerned. With the oom fng spring it is thought that consum ers will be more aotive buyers, as their stocks on hand are rather low. The market is in a strong position, statisti-, oally speaking, and should advance on any increase in the demand. Dealers are confident tbat a better inquiry is about due and express a belief that the next movement will be in the direction of higher prioes. The Butte Mining World says: Railroad building in Montana and Ida ho is quite satisfactory in two or three instances. 'Work will be begun at onoe on a road from Nam pa, Idaho, to the Snake river. This road will be an out let for the great gold mines in the Owyhee mountains. The road now under construction by Mr. Hammond of Missoula, from a point where the Northern Pacific crosses the Columbia river ot Astoira, Or., is expected to be completed by Jane 1. We are assured that the Castle road from Helena will reach Castle by Jane 1. This road will be about seventy miles in length and will rehabitate the deserted camp. It will furnish an outlet for a rich mineral district. lt is said that by tbe aid of Roent gen's X ray one can see the heart beat. PORTLAND MARKETS. Eggs continue in good demand at lOo. There is a slight margin of profit in shipping at this figure, and until the San Franoisoo market weakona there will be no decline here. Re' oelpti of potatoes oontlnue large, but prices are uuobanged. Produce is pretty well cleaned up. The straw berries received are of a very poor quality, owing to heavy rains in Cali fornia.

Tbe point of the game is which shall see tbe other first and surprise her by a cuff on the nose, which stands for "I spy. " When two play, it is simple enough, but when there are three or four one always re mains outside the onsbions to seek, and by degrees the little pink nosed white fuces peep between the cushions with the inimitable and provocative expres sions of a kitten at play, and the seeker is surprised by a tap. If she be on the alert, the hi dor sometimes vanishes, and sometimes they try which can got with in the other's guard and give the first whack. M'liss was particularly fond of hid and seek, and established a mode ot playing it with us while we were at dinner. She would hide on the window sill behind the long winter curtains which are dropped in tbe evening, and would peep out at one side or between them and mew, popping back again aa we called, "I see you. " She never tired of this slipping unseen from window to window to vary the surprise until we had more than enough of it Temple Bar. Mr. McSwat'a Bnaband'a Buggeetle. "The Woman's club is going to dis cuss parliamentary law tomorrow even ing, Bllliger," remarked Mrs. MaSwat, "and I don't think I shall go. I don't take any interest in it" "Parliamentary law, Lobelia," said Mr. McSwat magisterially, "is some thing you can't know too much about. You ought to familiarize yourself thor oughly with its usages. A clear under standing of parliamentary law," he went on, warmiiig with his subject; "would be useful in all the relations of life. If I were asked to name one thing. Lobelia, tbat is calculated to add self reliance to character, assist in solving the problems that arise from day today, and make the burden of life less" "Now, what is the use of your going on like that, Billiger?" interrupted Mrs. McSwat "What good would it dome to study parliamentary law, I'd like to know?" "You wonld learn not to talk when you are not in order," replied Billiger, burying himself in his newspaper again. And Mrs. MoSwat went out to sha kitchen and talked in a loud and expos tula tory tone of voioe to Bridget for the next 15 minutes, Chicago Tribune. A Matter) Conception. Fronde has admirably described tb spirit in whioh Carlyle views the revo lution, the spirit of a Hebrew prophet, discerning divine retribution on ill do ing, and Carlyle himself styles it, in ay letter to Sterling, "a wild, savage book, itself a kind of French revolution. It has come hot out of my own souL born in blackness, whirlwind and sor row." He thought it had "probably no ohanoe of being liked by any existing,, class of British men," but it speedily achieved popularity.
