The following item is from a recent
issue of the V orld'a Columbian III us-
trated, the official organ of the exposi
tion: ''Oregon has adopted a unique
and practical method ol displaying the
woods produced in that State. At Jack
son Park there is a house constructed
entirely of Oregon woods. It is ten feet
square and nineteen feet high, and is
BUrmounted by an open cupola. The
bodv of the structure is a yellow pine.
The roof is of red-cedar shingles, and is
supported by four Doric columns.. The
columns arc of maple, and are very rich
ly carved. The roof of the cupola is
supported by four small Doric columns
"of carved oak. The interior is finished
with panel work containing about all the
woods of the Mate, among which are
manzanita, madrone, yew, laurel, myr
tle, ash, maple, oak, spruce, balm, flr,
sugar pine, bird's-eye pine, cherry, curly
maple and alder. The house forms the
Oregon pavilion in the forestry building."
Here is another high compliment in a
recent editorial correspondence to the
St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald: "Adjoining
the exhibits of Missouri in both the hor
ticultural and agricultural buildings are
the displays of Oregon, the Legislature
of which tate appropriated a scant ttJO,
000 in all for the purpose of properly
representing the State's resources and
industries at the World'a Fair. The con
trast between the two displays is so great
as to put all Missourians to shame. In

Minister Blount's report on the Ha
waiiun situation has been received. It is
long and verv comprehensive. The an
nexation plan is discussed in all details
and the conclusion drawn that Hawaii
ans do not want annexation. Minister
Stevens' act in raising the American flag
and landing the marines is referred to at
length, and the report puts that indi
vidual in anything but an enviable light.
The idea bf annexation is shown to have
been the desire not of the people, who
according to the principles of this gov
ernment have the right to govern, but of
the few. The report will probably not
be made public until sent to Congress.
When published the popular feeling in
favor of annexation will, it is believed.
be allayed. The result of the report, so
those who have seen it say, will be that
the government will permit the Hawaii
ans to govern themselves, and no other
government will be allowed to interfere.

tion's attitude toward the law, be ac
knowledges that it wonld not surprise
him if there were a mighty effort made
by the enemies of the bill to either re
peal it in Congress or originate some
other plan to nullify it. Mr. Geary
would neither affirm nor deny the report
that tbe Chinese Six Companies nad
levied another assessment on all Celes
tials in tbe country to raise a corruption
fund to lobby through iu repeal at the
coming eexsion. He did say, however:
"it is possible tbat tne fcix Companies
w ill not lie able to collect the $5 per head
assessment said to have been recently
levied. Chinamen are very much dis
pleased over the ill success of the Six
Companies in expending the last money
they paid to prevent tne passage ol the
law or to have the fight made against its
constitutionality in the Supreme Conrt.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Important to Harvest and Store
the Crops Carefully.
SEVERAL INSTRUCTIVE H0TES,
Good feed makes good ezga.
Cunl la better than milk for fowls.
Wash dirty eggs before marketing
them.
A little charcoal is good in the feed
of
, fowls,
clean water, where they can atwaya
1 get it, ia needed by the chicks.
The back of the seat of the buggy is
not the place for hens to roost,
Keeping the center of Ihe stack well
rounded up is a good point in stacking
either hay or grain.
Keep a daily account of the receipts
and expenses with the poultry, and kuow
wneiner uiey pay or not.
Have your horses shod bv a blacksmith
that does not cut the frog awav so far
that the weight rests on the hoof.
If a horse la given grain ration, we
know of no better bulky feed than bright
upland prairie hav. It is fragrant, pal
atable and free from dust.
Do not become alarmed at the culti
vator beam breaking an occasional tine
stalk of corn; the plowing pays for the
trouble and tne loss ot a few large stalks.
The need of ice ia now being felt bv a
great many persoua. It ia neither diffi
cult nor expensive to put up a small
amount oi ice. suppose you try it next
winter.
Do not atlow harvesting to keep the
Held ot late corn from having a needed
plowing. The last plowing destroys
many weeds, and usually increases the
yield materially.
If there is a time when dark stables
are allowable, It is during hot weather.
But darkness does not necessarily imply
dampness nor lack ot fresh air. Have
the stables ventilated even ii you do not
uaraeo f"pv.

- It .11 ,
It is a good thing to know how tn imi,
ovate land after it has becomo run down,
but far better to know how to conserve
its fertility and so avoid the alow and
laborious methods of renovation. The
saving of manure, turning under green
crops and rotation are the means to this
very desirable end
The production of manure deserves as
careful attention as the production of
any oiner crop on the farm, it should
be regarded as a crop and as one of the
most valuable ones. In order to save it
without loss there should be a water
tight stable floor and enough of fine ab
sorbents to take up and retain the liq
uids. The use of soiling crops ia alow to ob
tain among Western farmers, but we be
lieve they are making some headway
each year. The one thing that prevents
their wider adoption is the labor re
quired. Aa land increases in value we
can afford to spend more money upon
labor, 11 11 enables us to do more work
with a given number of cows.
riOW TO MARK THE PABM PAY.
It ia quite aa important to harvest and
store the crops carefully as it is to plant
and cultivate properly. Some farmers
seem to overlook this fact 'Ihe percent
age of hay anil grain wasted because of
poorly-constructed stacks and leaky barn
roofs is unnecessarily large. Do not Buf
fer from these causes. Hats. mice, aauir-
rele, weevils mill other insects destroy
ami damage grain alter it is in tne bins
and cribs. These losses are preventable.
The ''old beaten track " is not the one
which will always lead iib more quickly
or evun more surelv to success in agri
culture. New ideas and new methods
have come no in everv branch of farm
practice during recent years, and many
01 mem nave already been tried and
found good. A prejudice in favor of old
ways should not keep one from being
progressive, savs tne tviscons in Agri
culturist. Bead, atudv and keep up
with the times. Very many farms which
are now unproductive or baielv paving
expenses could be brought np to a very
proli table state of cultivation merely bv
underdrawing. Where tile is difficult
to procure or where the expense is
thought to be too great an excellent sub
stitute may be made with boards or
stones. Good farming is very often
thrown away on land which ia too wet
to produce good crops, and before wast
ing more time and strength in this way
the land itself should be put In nroner
condition. Put some of the surplus ma
nure on the meadows, hauling it out and
preauing evenly through the fall and
winter. Grass will run out rapidly if
not fed. It pays just aa well aa to fer
tilize grain. Some neglect this and won
der that they get auch poor cropa, and
conciuue mere ia no prout in grass.

took a party of peasants who were re
turning from having viewed the holy

curiosity enough to find pleasure in talk
ing with the ciiiiiuion folks, and as she
reached n particularly interesting group
he invited an old woman tn get Into the
carriage with her. When the old woman
bud seated herself she turned to the
Washington woman and asked:
"Are yun a pnncesHr-
"No. I am not a princess." answered
the Washington woman.
"But you have a carriage and a pair
of horses?"
"Yes. bnt I am not a princess.
"I am eighty-four years old, and thla
Is the tirxt time that I have ever ridden

Then she wit silent for a few moment,

Where he multiplies, however, the
British race begins to consider labor

white population will not work in the

the factories, its doom is practically
sealed. It is limited to supplying
employees, merchants, contractors,
shopmen and foremen to the commu

be educated to a point at which it
will demand and receive a share in
those employments and in the gov

the white race will either be absorbed
