Secretary of State Kincaid is in- auguratmg , a system of preserving in a convenient form some of the state records and supplying some historical information for the benefit of those who visit the state house. The census report of last year the secretary has had printed in pam phlet form, which is mueh more con- veninet vthan the 20x40 inch paste boards heretofore used. The secre tary is now engaged in compiling from the state archives a brief his tory of Oregon's governors. This information will be printed on sep arate cards, and the history of each governor attached to bis portrait. Life-sized portraits of all the gov ernors, including the present execu tive are swung from . the walls of the representative hall, or senate chamber. Stab End of Thought. What man baa done, woman thinks she can da If the men didn't oppose the women in their efforts to gain their rights the women wouldn't think they had any rights to gain. It is harder work holding back when one starts going down the hill than it is to get up when one starts going up. . A pretty woman is the prettiest thing on earth to the eye. A wife ma easily love herself enough to make her husband unhappy. The more a bachelor thinks of matri mony the le6s of it he does. ' A pair of soft brown eyes in a man's heart makes him blind all over. Melody is the soul of music, while harmony is its mind. Love is the great inexplicable, and marriage sometimes makes it more so. Faith in men and things is one of mankind's slipperiest possessions. Detroit Free Press. The distanceof.the great wlieat fields of the north we&tirom. the Atlantic sear board, and the .consequent expense of (jutting the agricultural products of that great prairie, country on the Eu ropean market, lias long seemed to be sin unsurmountable . difficulty. While navigation is open on i the gneut lakes the cost of transportation is l greatly lessened, but even with the advantage of lhis inland waterway the outlay of ship ping a bushel of wheat to LiverjKXjl 1ms been, during the juist:fev years, equal to the price. tiaM iQr.n bushel At- points .Vi Dakota and .Manitoba, wbick means Llint for every bush Uf wheat that the former put on Hie Jvuropeunnarket ik? must have the railAMof another bush el to get it there.

TXStiks evil is to 1 .owrccme by wfcat .-called the new. jktea. -It, is not new, byrany means, for St. has been used Vy the'JIudson I?ay company for over 00 yeurc,; it was the route. that the early settlers on the Hed iriver of the north look when they staruU.the lied River ,-olonv in 1S12, and a it has been, hd1: sstili .to a certain extant, used to this j lay, "it; is evidently ju- imprat'tieable.

MatU, wlldh is lestithan 400 miles ibum .the bar- It nay be atiked : "Why was thU not all rtmught of 'before? The.anrver is simple Until .the year 1S70 thetvhole of what is now the Canadian province of Manitoba and British northwest terri tories was controlled by the Hudson 73a v cwupnnv. ami as their sole object- was to unplv the world with fur.it was distinctly to their interest to ex aggerate the dangers of the wnters ot the bttv.. and in factido anything thai would retard immigration to their pre serves. But now tilings na've .cnanged. The Hudson Bay cpmpiy rgbts were pur chased bv thedon iatontfovernmentm 1S70 for abottf, $2S,000j0U0 worth, of iand, and is 1SS0. tei years later, a char ter was granted to me Nelson River company, who are tu r utiilding a rail way which will, 5n th - xUTe of a few years, bring Winnipeg vifnto 36 hours railway journey fo the-a. By this route St. Paul a .d Minneapo lis would be only 730 mi-es from the otean. What doe this fnen? A sav ing of nearly 750 in ilea en compared with the dislawe to New fork. This applies equally, of. course, to points we4, and even more to points north and northwest of th twin cities. Further, the distance from Port Nelson to Liver- poo! V 2.926 miles, while it is 3.040 from New Tork to the same place, showing r. difference in favor of the bay route of 1 14 milt. So that the difference of the two routes from St. Taul to Liverpool, i ia New York, anil via the Hudson bay, s-hows the latter to be shorter by near ly 870 mile. This great northern waterway is not, however, without some drawbacks; for instance, during four months it cannot be used, but owing to the fact that the lay does not. freeze until October the western farmer, with his early harvest, could get niot ol his grain off his hands and shipped before that time, and such of his produce as he could not get to the ccaboiird in time, would be held :n elevators at Port Nelson until spring, win a he would catch the inevitable rise in the n.arket in Europe in May. (rain is by no moans the only com modity to be considered. Think of the cattle during the Iongsu;inershipping season. Freed from the long trans continental railway, haul, they would arrive in Europe in much better condi tion than nowadays. Then there arc hay, timber, logs, wool and a hundred and one things that would be u profit to the westerner with cheap freight to Europe, which are now a glut on tne market. h,ven horses might be raised at a profit.

' "Apropos of lightning rods," said the oldest man of tbe company, "I ppmem ber along in the sixties when the light ning-rod fever raped that a good woman in our town built a nice house, out re fused to have a lightning rod put on be cause she thought she should trust in Providence. She was very much afraid of the electric fluid, and her life was pestered by rod agents, but she held out against them until the second year. which was unusually stormy, and then she laid the whole matter before her minister. He was a little weazened up man with a squeaky voice and he heard her story of fear of the danger on one side and her belief that she should trust Providence on the other and gave a careful estimate of both. Then he gave her a very politic bit of advice. He told her to go home and have a lightning rod put on her house and then trust to Frovidenee. This she immediately acted upon and the good woman never knew that the rod agent had forestalled her and offered a liberal commission to the pastor for his assistance in settling her mind." Detroit Free Tress.- Ut. takes over $200,000 every month So run the police department of. Chicuge The amount varies. according to the lints imposed at police bourd trials cr extra men employed on extraordinary occasion:?. For the month of May checks weredrawn for. $"J5,530.24. From this amount there was the usual reduc tion for the pent-ion Jtund; forAIay the amount was $2,3A8.86. The actual amount paid to the .force, from the chief down to the hxwest in the depart ment, was the difTcj:: nee between the pension fund and thcamount given. The 15th of each month is pay day in the department; unlcssJSunday falls on thutidate. On that .day. a wagon con taining a paymaster, .two specially de tailed .officers and the .driver, the lust also a policeman, loavtis.the city hall n the morning.

Checks for absentees and men ou duty .are left with the captain. The captain's check is for $137.50; Xhe lieu tenants chocks urc fo-$l-J5each: sergeants. $100; lhutlor each pntrolrusm, $S3.33, and .the in spector, S210.

The Irish are in the majority; then come the Swedes and Norwegians and Scandinavians. There are some colored men on the force, a few English and Scotch, and now and then on Amer ican. It is said by one who knows thnt there are not 100 men on the police force of Chicago who come under the head usually known as "genuine Americans," although every man would resent being called anything else. The hend of the department and his assistant and mi st of the cnptn'ns are of foreign extrac tion, if not. foreign born. Chicaco Chronicle. HOUSEHOLD NOTES. How to Ue the Spoon. There are a thousand ways by which a houscmistress may prove the homely old saying that a woman can throw out' with a spoon faster than a man ciin throw in with a shovel, and a thousand other ways by which sho can iprove herself able to use her meta phorical spoon to greater advantage. 'The first type of woman leaves the. .(Iraaphts of her kitchen stove open iand keeps the fire going at full blast nvihen there is no need of it; the second .closes the draughts and dampers and plans to make the fire do as imtich as possible at one time. The first throws away what with a little -trouble could betnadeinto "drippings" which would serve in cooking as well, .and o.'ten better, than butter; the sec ond cot only makes the drippings, but turns her sheets und table cloths as soon as they begin to grow thin in the .middle and cuts up still older table clothes into every-day napkins. The first woman uses one broom for the par lor carpet, the cel.lur and the sidewalk; the second has three grades of brooms aaid greatly prolongs the term of serv ice of aeh thereby. And the same rale applies to her own gloves, boot and wneral wearing apparel.
