The big publishing - house of
Ginn and Company, has shown its
interest in tbe Bisj Fair next year
by coaairjg to the front with an ex
cellent "Home and Sohool Libra
ry," embo-S'.'d back and gilt edged,
consisting of 2! volumes and valued
at $25. Thirj will ba one of the
graud prizes for the beet exhibit
furnished by tbe individual pupil,
bused on escelleticy of t-xhibit and
age of pupil. 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.

It was under such conditions that
tbe New Year's morn louni the boy
murderer. 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.

Tbe Native Born of English Parents

"The queerest sight you see in India
is the native born," said the sailor.
"The native born Is the thinnest, soft

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

to see an army of native born of the
third generation, you'd think you had

THE ART, OF TALKING.
Thines That Are Uanentlril to a Good
Conversationalist.
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.

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

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.

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.
