A prizs of this char acter is well worth the effort put fo tb to win if. The wirner of such a prizs will have a library of books, filled with the beet fiction, history and literature to bt had. This company, like all other contribu tors to th9 Big Fair, deserves com mendation. This is what the Btorm did for Albeny: The entire country south from this city, says tbe Herald, re sembles a vast lake. It was ex trerrely difficult for pedestrians to reach the depot as the water bad invaded tbe land around about, covering the sidewalks in places to the depth of several inches. Base ments were flooded in both tbe bus iness and reshieuce sections and those who had to depend upon a tun ace for warmth, were forced to do without. Ssveral of the busi ness houses closed before five o'clock last evening, on account of the lack of fire. The Central and Maple schools end also the college were farced to suspend operations yes tirday hood. The basements were inundated with water, and as no fires were po3sible, it was deemed beet to dismiss recitations until tbe water abate?. It is doubtful wheth er to water will bave gone dewn sufficiently thi9 morning for the re sumption of the school work.- In savral of the churches the regular weekly prayer meeting waa : given up, because of the impossibility of building a fire in the ; furnaces. Tbe lecture scheduled to occur at the First Presbyterian church did not take place on this account. It was the intention of Mr. Inman to proceed homeward with the sto k received on the boat, mention of which is made elsewhere, but at the junction . of Third and Jefftron streets a large bull became enraged aud the difficulty fol baring, delayed progress. The animal had a mix- up with Jake Blumberg a wagon, which stood on tbe street, and the vcbiole was speedily put outof com mission. The bed was smashed, an axle broken, a number spokes were riddled, and the vehicle was injured in other respects. In oourse of time the bull was enmeshed in a maize of rope, and tied to three maple trees in front of the Lee res idence. For half an hour a large crowd waa interested in the hercu lean efforts of the animal to free himself. The big brute fought and bellowed aad wallowed to tbe en tire satisfaction of bis audience. One of his stunts was to turn a complete summersault, and it met with general applause. At length the bull was gotten into a stable near tbe scene, and no effort will be made to remove him, until his wrath has considerably Bubsided. Watch this space for Bargins in ' .

Not being blessed with a streak of sentiment, he worried not over tbe pre-ent or future. Murderer Blodgett, perhaps think irg of other New Year days when his prospects were brighter, washed the face and bands of tbe boy as sassin aud carefully combed the youDgeter's silken hair, parting it methodically in the middle Biode ett o.k a certain pride in h s cell mate aud wanted the boy to . look well when poeiDgfor bla photograph. Among the Christmas preserts Blodgett received a blue silk four-io-haod, which the elder murderer ranDot lie. This be loaned Albert I for the occasion, and Jailor Mitch ell struggled with the complicated knot. The boy said notbiDg, Al bert Oleman is. an ummpapsioned child. That there is nomething dead with'n him, some dull sense, is apparent. He is not tbe kind cf boy possessing high epirite or cbtt ty personality. Absolute uacon rem masks him. Most roye end even hardened man would disclose some sign of emotion if placed in the same condition as Albert. They would not be able to discuss mur der as calmly as this boy. Already be baa outlined bia de fease. It is in"anity. "I was out of my head whea I 9hot Mr?. Ayiee;" he explains"" I bad been feeling sick during the evening. I didn't know what I was doing." There Is a peculiar formation to his head, but tbe most striking fea ture is the malformation of his ear?. They would be a study for Lom brts'. A person with -ears like A' berl OUraan carries ihr sigUH o! d6ngtr. Alienist would find much to interest them with those ears and tbat etrat ge-shaped ekall. He has lon?; face, a short, straight nose and yellow hair. His eyei have a eemi- waterv look, ard they are of the shifty kind. He does not look a person straight in the eye for any length of lime. Little by little his family history was extracted from him, one word at a time. He was one of 12 chil dren, born of' German- parents,at Ale. near Brownsville, Or. Before coming to Oregon the family lived in Canada. Two sisters live at Sa lem, one being an Instructor in the mute school. Tbe father died of cancer, but the cause of his moth er's death Albert does cot remem- bsr. iNoce ol his relatives was affiict-d with insanity.

A prqjninent physician tells this story at the expense of the modern craze (or specialization in the medical profes sion: A poor woman from the east rifle of New Tors went to a nearby dispen sary to ask aid for her little son. who had had one . of bis fingers smashed by a baseball teat At the first room where she applied she was told by a curt attendant that tie boy could not be treated there. .. .

"The native born Is the thinnest, soft est, laziest, sallerest thing in the way of a white man that was ever in vented. "And he Is the proof that England won't never colonize India. For the English can't live In India, you see. The moist heat of that there land, with its nights of 110 degrees and Its noons of 130 or worse, takes the strength and backbone out of an Englishman, gives him liver trouble and makes a com plete wreck of him. "If he goes back home, he may re cover his health. If he stays in India, he don't never recover It. If he has children born in India, those children are called native born, and for poor, little, puny, spiritless critters they're the limit "If them native born English have children In their turn well, that third generation of native born has none, at least It Is q generation of idiots, para lytica, cataloptlcs, cripples.

To be a good conversationalist you must be spontaneous, buoyant, natural, sympathetic, an;l must have a spirit of good will. You must feel a spirit of helpfulness and imiKt enter heart and soul Into things which interest others. You must get the attention of people and hold it by interesting them,' and you can only interest them by a warm sympathy a real, friendly sympathy. If you are cold, distant and unsympa thetic you cannot get their attention. To be a good conversationalist you qBUEt be broad, tolerant A narrow, Stingy soul never talks well. A man who Is always violating your sense of taste, of justice and of fairness never interests yon. , Yon lock tfeht all the approaches to yotrr inner self every avenue is closed to him, and when they are closed your magnetism and your helpfulness are cut off, and tbe con versation la perfunctory, - mechanical and without life or feeling. You must bring your listeners close to you, most open your heart wide and exhibit a broad, free nature and an open mind. Yon must be respOnstve, so that a listener will throw wide open every avenue of bis nature and give you free access o his heart of heart. Success Magaelne. Undiscovered Crime. "Can you point out a man wbo at the age of thirty has not committed at one time in his life a crime that would have sent him to the peniten tiary ?" remarked a trusty at the peni tentiary the other day. "I do not be lieve that there is a man living, ex cluding, for the looks of the tiling, the clergy, who has not done something to bring him here had he received his just deserts. It is not always a great Crime that sends a man to the peni tentiary. There are men in here for stealing chickens or clover seed or nothing at all. It is easy to get be hind the walls. There are many men on the outside who should be In here. I am personally acquainted with a few myself. But the difference between these people and myself is that I have been caught and they have not.'" Co lumbus Dispatch. Willie Also Discovers. A teacher in charge of the second primary grade at a Denver school was telling the children about Columbus one day not long ago. She told them all about the home life of the discov erer of America and all about his peo ple. : : "His relatives," she said, "were wool combers." The next day Columbus was discuss ed again. "By the way, children," said the teacher, "'do you remember what his relatives were?" , ; There was a moment of profound stillness. Then a little fellow in tbe rear of the room raised his hand. "You may tell us, Willie," said the teacher. "They wns barbers," said the boy. Denver Post Orangei. This is the West Indian way of pre paring oranges for: the table: Peel the oranges, taking off as much white skin as possible; then slice them off . all round as you would an apple, regard' less of the sections. This leaves the seed, tough, stringy central part and most of the inner skin together and is a much less tedious process than re moving the skin by sections. Use very sharp knife, so as to make clean cuts and not crush the fruit. Cold Calculation. "You should do something to claim the gratitude of posterity." "What for?" asked Senator Sor ghum.
