The fire in the Oregon City woolen Bills will occasion a greater loss than win, on first improssion, be realized. Troporty owners have been paying, for years, a heavy tribute to the in surance companies, and part of those fremiums paid for insurance will be returned to Oregon Oity, to make food the Jacobs Brothers' loss. The wnors of the mills will suffer little xore than the loss of a couple of months of businoss. Oregon City at large, however, Till roalize as she lias not fully roal irad before, the great value the mills are to the town. Many families are sot so fortunate as to have a strong, able bodied head on whom they may ionend for a sustenance. In such cases the woolen mills offer an oppor lonity for veaker members of to earn fufliciont means to supply the neces iarics of life. This opportunity must fco doniud for a time, many of the employees will be unable to find ther employment suited to thoir physical capneity, and this burden of enforced idleness will bear heavily a many families. Hero is the real misfortune It falls Hoariest on those most unable to oar it. We are brought to realize low unjust is much of the criticism to which the Jacobs Brothers have Seen subjeoted during the past years. A. number of men are counted among the wealthy of our county, but how few families draw a livelihood from me investment oi their riches, as eomparod with those who have for years found a friend in the big brick manufacturing plant. Had the whole manufacturing dant been distroyed the good will If the people would have assured ta building. This feeing has been to. considerable extent lacking, and the actual rosult of a total destruction -andor prevailing oircumstanoes might lave boon for yoars to come an un iightly ruin, whore the hope of youth has so often merged into the ambition of manhood, and Jindepen ience in fortune and standing among mon have crowned the efforts of more than ono industrious youth. RCC00NIZE NO LAW. Tho holdup on the Oregon City car Tuesday evening, vory improperly called a bold robbery, was rendered .more detestable business by tho aircumstauccs of an attempted murder and tho fact that , work is now plenti ful and tho season of the year makes it out of tho question that tho rob bers wero prompted by nooessitv. Tho crime was not bold or brave but owardly in tho extreme. No body lut a brutal coward would wantonly ahoot a man iu tho back. Bravo men mever Bhow women such disoourtisies these did. Should the victim of their pistol shot dio, though but one ihot was tired, all would be held guilty of murder. As a matter of iict they are in spirit aud at heart murderers. Such acts as this place one in a state of mind where ho is almost xeady to reeognizo justioe and equity iu lynch law. Thosa meu recognize ai law. Thoir desert is that they aatot down in thoir tracks like the wild beauts they are. ORE OF THE RIGHT STUFF. Tho boya of tho fire department liowtiu, Tuesday night, that they are made of the right stuff. They jtopped tho fire where it belonged Undaunted by several handicaps, worst of which was tho lack of water yressuro at tho beignniug of tho fire, they stood by their jwst and won the commendation and praise nf all who witnessed the fire.

There Is a Fresbyterlnn family In Washington which owns or Is owned by a masterful boy of seven. The boy's grandmother came to visit them recent ly and reproached them because the child had not yet been baptized. The mother protested lamely that she ex pected to defer that until the boy should unite with the church. Grand mother Bnlffed and said If they waited till the boy professed religion and wished to Join the church they'd wait until the forty-first year of the millen nium; so it was decided that he should be baptized at once. Somewhat of the discussion reached the youngster, and he marched bravely up to his mother. "Have I got to be baptized?" he asked. "Tea. dear." answered the mother. "All right, then," said he cheerily, don't care when yon have It done. had my arm broken, and I had my shoulder dislocated, and I didn't feel It a bit when the doctor fixed them. Just have 'em give me a little chloroform, and they can baptize me all they want.'

"Take a good lump of fresh butter and roll it In flour, place it in Und saucepan with a half pint of good, rich cream, stir It gently over a low fire, al ways the same way, till it begins to simmer." This recipe for the making of melted butter is quoted from an old fashioned cookery book of a century ago, bnt the direction to stir "always the same way" is observed as religiously today Is It was then, and probably will be for a thousand years to come. All cooks of all nations stir not only the same way, but also from east to west, a sore lndlcafon that the prac tice originated with gun worshipers. Speaking of stirring brings to mind that in taost English households coun try ones at least the practice of the whole family Joining to stir the Christ mas plum pudding is still in vogue. There are many peculiar, old fash ioned superstlUona connected with cooking. For Instance, In Scotland, when oat cakes are being baked, it is still cus tomary to break off a little piece and throw it Into the fire. At one time, whenever n baking was made which was perhaps once a month only a cake was made with nine knobs on It. Each of the company broke one off, and, throwing It behind ; him, said, "This I give to thee; preserve thou my sheep," mentioning the name I of a noxious animal fox, wolf or eagle. A roast pheasant is usually sent up with the tail reathers. xws practice is a memorial of the days when a pea cock was skinned before roasting and when cooked was sewed into its plum age again, its beak gilded and so served. Tossing the piincake is another inter esting food superstition. Formerly the master of the house was always culled uj:on to toss the Shrove Tuesday pan cake. Usually he did It so clumsily that the contents of the pan found their way to the floor, when a fine was de manded by the cook. The custom Is still kept up at Westminster school, where a pancake Is tossed over the bar and scrambled for. The one who se cures it Is rewarded with a guinea. The origin of the cross on hot cross buns is a matter of dlsput,e. There is little doubt that cakes partly divided into four quarters were made long be- fore the Christian era. At one time it was believed that bread baked on Good Friday would never grow moldy, and a piece of it grated was kept in every house, being supposed to be a sover eign remedy for almost any kind of ailment to which man Is subject. In many parts of England it Is con sidered unlucky to offer a mince pie to a guest It must be asked for. Boston Journal. . Ancient Bed. In ancient times the beds we read about were simply rugs, skins or thin mattresses which could be rolled up and carried away in the morning. At night they were spread on the floor, which in the better class of houses was of tile or plaster, and as the shoes were not worn In the house and the feet were washed before entering a room the floors were cleaner than ours. After a time a sort of bench, three feet wide, was built around two or three sides of the room about a foot above the floor and, covered With a soft cushion, was used during the day to sit or lounge on and as a sleep ing place at night The bench was sometimes made like a settee, movable and of carved wood or Ivory.
