REAL MISFORTUNE FROM FIRE.
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.
Prsence of mind, of all things the
aiost important of fighting fire, was
in a few places lacking. Pleuty of
Good luck to him.

There Is a Fresbyterlnn family In

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

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.

KITCHEN SUPERSTITIONS.
Way Moat Cooks Alwara Stir Their
Batter One War Only.
"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. London
