In nn English treatise on the "Hy giene of Bird Keeping." by George Creswell. attention Is called to the thoughtless practice of hanging birds In cages Just above the level of the sashes of windows and to the mlstak 1 en kindness of hanging a cage In a cor i ner of a sitting room or a kitchen near 1 the ceiling. In the one case the bird Is subjected t: di-afts nnd will In all I probability develop catarrh and bron j chills, and In the other It live i.i a I vitiated atmosphere. !

The Hol land tourist never forgets the fishwives with their baskets, the white clad cheese weighers of Alwmaar nor the tulip venders of Haarlem.

To eat and drink and play and Jeep, to be exposed to dark ness and to light, to pace round in the null of Hbil and to turn thought into an instrument of trade this is not real life. Knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness, alone can give true vitality to the mechanism of existence. MY LITTLE SISTER By EDWARD U SPENCER I was brought up lu luxury, but without father, mother, brother or sls Ver. When I became six years old and wa still kept from going about with other boys nature rebelled against not having playmates, and thiwo who wer responsible for me were obliged to make some provision In that direction. I lived lu the house lu which I was born, my father having died before and my mother at the time of uiy birth. I knew nothing about this, being taken care of by a Mrs. Perkins. One day he brought Into my playroom a girl about my own ago and told me ho had a little Bister for me. At that age I felt no great surprise as to the exist ence of a sister, though I remember asking some questtous as to why 1 had never seen her before. I would have preferred a brother, but was neverthe less delighted to be relieved of my loneliness, and from that time forward my life was very different trom what It had been. Lucy was my sister's name, and sine we were kept from other children we grew very much attached to each oth er. I was a fiery little fellow, while Lucy was of the quiescent kind. She was always soothing me. There was a good deal of the boy In me or I might have become effeminate, playing as I did all the while with a girl. I think I did not miss boy associates as much as I would bad I not become so much attached to Lucy. The reason why I was kept so close at home was that my mother, knowing that she must leave mo to the care of others, had manifested to Mrs. rer uns, who was to bring me up, a fear that I would learn "badness" from my associates, which she, my mother, would not be with me to counteract Had It not been for a strong mascullno nature In me I would have been skill ed as a result of this motherly timid ity. Mrs. Perkins eugaged tutors for me and for Lucy aa well, and, being educated aloue, when we were fifteen years old we knew as little about the world as when we had been just brought together. It was at this time that Lucy and I began to discuss our situation. Why was It that we had no parents like oth er children? Why had we never met till we were about six years old? These and other similar questions came up for discussion, and we asked Mrs. Perkins for answers to them. But she evaded giving direct answers, and we were no wiser than we were before All we could get out of ber was, "When you come of age you will know all about It" When I was In my sixteenth year I was sent to boarding school, where I prepared for college, Lucy being sent at the same time to a girls' seminary. I was dreadfully homesick for Lucy, and she wrote me that she suffered the same for me. During my stay at school there was no one to tell me anything about myself more than I knew. Two years after that I went to college, and the period In which I was born over which seemed to hang a veil began to Interest me. I was old enough to make an Investigation, but when Mrs. Per kins said I would know all about it when I was twenty-one I preferred to wait. One thing espeecinlly deterred me, a dread lest I should find out some thing I would rather not know. While I was at college Lucy discov ered what was being kept from us, but she did not tell me. I came home one vacation during my senior year at col lege and met her there. I threw my arms about ber and kissed her, as I had been accustomed to do at our meet ings, and was surprised to see a blush on ber cheeks. I wondered at the time what It meant, but it soon passed out of my mind. However, from this time I noticed a great change In Lucy's treatment of me. She seemed constrained. I was telling ber one day of a girl friend of mine who I liked very much. Lucy looked serious. I persisted In sounding my friend's praises, and Lucy suddenly got up to leave the room. I caught her and, pulling her down beside me, told her that she need not fear for my deserting her for a sweetheart or a wife, for I would never marry and did not see how I could bear to have her marry. This seemed to satisfy ber, and she smiled at me through ber tears. 1 was twenty-one years old a month after being graduated from college. A lawyer bad notified me that he would call on me on my birthday, and be did so. Lucy and I were both at home The lawyer said he wLshed to see us together and told the secret My past or most of it has been told. Lucy's was as follows: Her father died when ahe wss two years old and her mother when she was three. Our mothers were sisters enjoying an undivided fortune. They had arranged that we should be brought up together and for each oth er. The fact of our being kept in Ig norance that we were cousins was that In the beginning of our Intimacy Mrs. I'erkins had told me she bad a little sister for me. She thought nothing of It at the time, but put off telling as the truth till we had grown to an age at which she did not like to disabuse our minds. Besides this, she thought the plan of our mothers to unite us when we came of age would be best served by our being kept In Ignorance of the truth. The will of my mother and of Locy's mother expressed a wish that we should marry. And we did. A Browning Anecdote.

Thnt If we are to renp the fullest benefit from the I'unnnia cunul, we must fortify It and defeud It against the possible attacks of an enemy In time of war. Is the settled conviction of President Taft, and ho hus gone on record to this effect The I'lmama canal means so much to the I'nciflc coast states that there are few people In Oregon who will not agree with him. In a speech, not long ago. President Taft referred to the cruise of the battleship Oregon, when It steumed for 12,000 miles along the sea coast of two centlnents, from Ban Francis co to Cuba, as being the one event In our history which fastened the atten tion of the people of the whole United States upon the need for this great waterway. The president reviewed the treaties between the United States and Eng land, referring to this canal, and said that by the terms of this compact, the United States was to build the canal and maintain its neutrality, but nohlng in these treaties would prevent the United States from fortifying the canal, or In ease of war would pre vent It from closing Its great water way to the Bhipplng of an enemy. The Spooner Act of 1902 directed the presi dent to build a canul and make proper defenses. The treaty with Panama expressly gives to the United States power of fortification. Built for National Defense, President Taft maintains that the canal Is being built to help us defend the country, not to help an enemy at tack It. Even If a certain and prac tical neutralization of the canal could be effected by an agreement of all nations, an enemy could then use the canal to attack us In both oceans, just as we propose to use It to defend CepjrricM jr Moffrtt PRESIDENT TAFT ourselves. After expending approxi mately five hundred million dollars to make the national defense easier, the president can see no justification for surrendering at least one-half of the military value of the canal by giving the benefit of It to a nation seeking to destroy the United States. "The canal ought to defend itself." said the president, "and we ought to have fortifications there powerful enough to keep off the navies of any nation that might possibly attack us. It Is said the fortifications are going to cost fifty million dollars. This Is an error. The estimated cost of fortifications Is $12,000,000, which con stitutes hardly more than two per cent of the cost of the canal. "It has also been said that it will cost $5,000,000 a year to maintain It This also is an error.

The sting of the turuutuln (a name derived from Tarniito. a town In Italy), the liioxt venomous of spiders, was popularly suppimed to produce a d Wen h- called tnniiitlHiii. which could be cured only by music or dancing, and the dauce which cured It was culled tarantella. Yon inn see the lieawints dance the tarantella now, but without waiting for spider bites. T FOR SPUDS HALTS The buying movement of potatoes for the San FranclHco market has sud denly ceased In the local territory. Bids of the San Francisco buyers have been uulckly reduced from $2 per cental at country shipping polnU to $1.75 to $1.85. Some are not an xious to take hold of extra fancy ev en at the lower figure. According; to the advice received by one leading shipper from San Fran clsco fifty car loads of Oregon pota toes are now on tho trado unsold there. While thlH Incident was not. mentioned In the messages to other dealers, all buyers quickly reduced their prices. There remains, however, a very good demand from tho southwest and additional business Is passing with Arizona. For thU account shippers are bidding from $1.50 to $I.C0 per cental In the Willamette valley and from $1.25 to $1.35 at eastern Oregon points. Only one or two firms are now In the buying field for potatoes ho far as outside account Is concerned. Oth ers have called In their buyers and are awaiting development before again entering. Owing t tho ex treme strength that the market has shown here recently and the high prices that have ben In effect, It la not likely that farmers will bln to offer more freely for a few days at least. LIVE STOCK DEMAND CONTINUE ACTIVE The Portland Union Stock Yards Company reports as follows: Notwithstanding the heavy run oc casioned by the Fat Stock Show, de mand continues good for livestock of all kinds and shippers seem well sat isfied with prices received. The Uve Stock Show held at these yards the 18, 19 and 20, of this month under the auspice of the Pacific Northwest Livestock Association, was a succeps la every particular. En tries were more numerous and better than last year, prices received for prize stuff were la all cases highly satisfactory. A record was made on the Orand Champion Steer that very nearly touched that made at Chicago some years ago, when this animal was sold for $1.20 per pound, total sum paid being' $1,290.00. The Orand Champion car kit of steers brought 10.10, second prize Individual steer 00 per pound, first prize car load spayed heifers sold for 7.25. KING'S NEW Price 50c and $1.00 L Tho potato outlook Is a worry to growers as well as dealers at this time. Tho sharp drop In Bail Fran cisco took tho wind out of tho sails of tho bull movement and most of the buyers uulckly quit tho field even aftT dropping prices about 25c per cental. The situation at the lower price Is iiitH'li better and healthier than It has been for some time. There U a real demand for potatoes at the prlco now tpioted. Formerly there was more talk than anything else. Dvuler who have outside connections are now offering $1.75 per cental for extra fancy and are taking whatever It (iffured at that figure. Growers are showing more Inclin ation to let go and If this sentiment Is not changed for awhile the rere it drop In price Is probably one of the best things that could have happen ed to many growers. Many had not mado up their mlniU whether to hold for still higher prices oC sell. The result was that there was a probab ility that a large per cent of tho crop would bn htdd until too late to mar ket prollltably. Tho lower price brought these In terests to realize that some definite stand must be taken and freer selling has therefore resulted. Special advices received from the south rtato that Washington Is sell lug cheaper than Oregon and, there fore, much of the demand Is golag In that direction, The call for seed from tho south, whllo still quite fair. Is not nearly as good ns It was a week ago. Dr. Bell's Antl-Paln A sudden attack of Cholera Morbus Is dangerous. Keep Dr. Hell's Anil 1'aln at hand, a dose relieves almost In htantty.

AT 26 CENTS POUND While the market for contracts Is firm at 2t'c a pound for 1911 growth of hops, little business Is passing. Growers are not In a selling mood and few of them are In a position where their financial reqiiiremets are such that they need to tie up their crops unless they are Inclined to let go. Demand for contracts Is almost en tirely confined to American brewers. Foreigners ure showing not tho slightest Interest In our trado at pres ent. Practically no movement In spot goods is reported. Prices In thnt line are nominal, but business could be secured at these flgureB If holders were Inclined to let go.
