(Concluded.) BT LUCY WHKELOCK. The Occupations!. The gifts are distinguished from the oc cupations In that they are more construc tive and the forms made with them are lees permanent. The tower Is built and unbuilt and rebuilt into a Trail, a seat or a bridge. Various picture-forms made with blocks or sticks or rings axe quickly transformed into other things, and at the nd one comes back to the original ma terial. The occupations, on the other hand, af Xord means of permanent transformation &a& of individual creation. The little art ist seizes a pencil, and lo! a horse, a man, a rose, never seen before. "It is mine; I made it." The shapeless clay is molded Into a ball, a cherry, or an apple, and something exists which did not exist be fore. In the sentence, "Man is a creative being," Froebel's greatest interpreter found the key to his system. Any material which children can han dle and through which they may express themselves is legitimate for use in a kin dergarten occupation. Leaf garlands are made, burr baskets, necklaces of berries and other decorations dear to the heart of childhood. The kindergarten sewing Is not a preparatory course In dressmak ing or tailoring, nor is its drawing, mod eling and coloring to make artists fully equipped for life. "To make visible the Invisible spirit of man" Is, according to Proebel, the function of art. To foster the spirit of art, which seeks to find what it may work at, Is his purpose in his di rection of childish activities, for "even a child is known by his doing." Education is only a process of unfold ing. AH that can be done from without is to supply right conditions. To under stand these conditions and to meet them Is the effort of the child gardener. He needs to know not only the particular game, story, gift or occupation, but the nature and needs of the growing child plant The gardener must know his gar den. He may scatter seed and till and water. The plan must grow. The true kindergarten Is the garden so cultivated. The Flrnt School Years. In Mrs. Wlggln's story of Patsy, the street waif who strays into the kindergar ten, thinks himself In heaven, with bird fioags filling the air, the windows full of bloom and a loving, sunny woman to mother a flock of children. Such a heaven Is not now the exclusive province of the klndergartner. There la no sudden change of climate when one enters a primary room. Here, too, are warmth and sun shine, blooming geraniums and singing birds. In one window we may ( see a gar den planted with peas or beans, that lit tle eyes may behold the ever-new miracle of germination and growth. In another window the egg-shell garden makes it pos sible for any child to know and care for his own plant Jack and Jill and all the other names are plainly written on the balf shells, that each child may gain the sense of responsibility and feeling of af fection for the grow ng thing that comes from ownership. Another window possi bly rejoices In an aquarium, and at the right season some other brother is sure to bring a jar of pollywogs. Then there is the Joy of watching day after day for the different phases of the wondrous change. A visit from a rabbit, a squirrel, a kitten or from mother hen and her chicks is not at all a surprising event In the modern schoolroom. In a few places such pets are kept and sent from One echeol building to another. The four walls of our ideal room for little children are not to be covered with blackboards adorned with specimens of penmanship, rows of figures or even won derful crayon drawings. Pictured. A soft gray or green tone makes a good background against which are hung a few Rood pictures of interest to little ones. The Perry pictures are within the reach of every teacher, even If they are not fur nished with the school supplies. A few Rembrandt mounts are made of the spe cial spring and summer subjects. A Millet or some other industrial scene, some of the best pictures of animals and at Christmas time some of the Madonnas will be of service. If these pictures are pinned on a burjap hanging or hung on a line stretched across one wall of the room they may be changed from time to time to suit the school programme. Xntnre Study. Nature study, following the round of the seasons, holds an Important place in the modern school curriculum. The frequent walk or excursion Is a valuable adjunct to the leons of the schoolroom, stimulating interest In out-of-door life and givins: an opportunity for the collection of materials for future work and for the school cabi net The method of science work during the first years of school life Is that ad vocated by Froebel in his demand tnat we proceed from love of nature to study and comprehension of her laws. The func tion of the teacher is not to teach facts, nor to conduct a series of monotonous ob ject lessons, but to be as a learner among learners, inspiring an added interest and love for all that God has made. Whlttier sings of "Knowiedgie never learned of p;hools; Of the wlM flower' time and place; Of the ivtM bee's morning chase; FHgnt of fowl and habitude Of the tenant of the wood; Of the Mack wasp's cunmr? way, Macao of his wall of clay." The primary school today does not deny its pupils this most desirable and desired knowledge, but aids them in gaining It Gymnastic nnd Games. Some of the kindergarten games repre senting the activities of the animal world. the movements of great natural forces, as water and wind, and the growth of plant life are used in primary grades to great advantage, and serve as a stimulus to the more exact observation of what is repre sented. Through imitation one appropriates the life of the things, and sympathy 1 b);n of a fuller understanding. To fly and build like a bird one must know what a Wrd doe, and must for the nonce become a bird. "Near them let us softly creep, WMte the btrdltnga ay Peep! Peep!" "VTho has not noticed the tenderness of feeling m a circle of children listening for th gentle peep of the play blrdlings? And could boy "needlessly set foot upon a worm" who had transformed himself in play movements from a slow, crawling caterpillar Into a flutter'ng butterfly with Jorow; wings The brown creature creep ing over the sidewalk has a new interest when one knows It has such hidden ro'sl butttec The P.ylng bird, the soaring but terfly, the busy bee, the hopp ng frog. th wfelrttas arms of the wlndmH", the sicdv tumlap of the weather vane, the waving tree and running brooke. suggest move ment f lep?. arms, wrist? and hands which give the best sort of gymnastic traiVjir. In addition to the quickening of rympatny mad interest thet ecmes from tb Identification of self with a 1 th's ac tive Bfe. nhyiacH or Poem. Rhyme and i mp'e roems are vlul fttx8t&rt$ ttt the natuie tosiK. and ..enre also SB jjtRfee the beginnings of literature. The poet often gives a tongue to what the Seymour Eaton.) DIRECTED BY PROF. SEYMOUR EATON young child feels. The child heart every- j where rejoices in the time when "The golden-rod is yellow, ' The fields are Turning brown; The trees In apple orchards "With fruit are bending down"; or in "Pretty gypsy dandelion, Dancing in the sun"; and no less In the winter when "Out-of the besom of the air; Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken.. Over the woodlands brown and bare, Over the harvest-flelda forsaken, Silent and soft and alow, Descends the snow." Langruagre. The repetition of such rhymes and mem ory gems helps very much in the language work of the schools. The child's vocabu lary Is enriched thereby and right" forms of expression appropriated. Stories. Stories are another important agency In the acquisition of language. The science story, nature myth or fairy tale told in connection with the observation of natural objects or some particular happening of the, day is reproduced in both oral and written exercises. II en dins. The best preparation for reading Is not to dull the interest and contract In prov ince by confining the child's attention to dead symbols of ideas, but rather to quicken and direct the natural desire to hear and to know about things which shall create the need of supplementing one's own slender stock of Information by all that books can offer. Recognition of words and letters constitutes the me chanism of reading, and, like any other mechanical process, is only a means to an end. Reading Is a process of Interpre tation, and as we see with all we have seen and know with all we have known, so we must Interpret Ideas with all that we have In mind. The first years of school life, then, should be largely devoted to gaining the basis of experience which gives the power of understanding and in terpreting ideas. Out of the richness o the child's experience is born the desire to relate, to share what one has enjoyed and with the constant practice of telling what one has seen or heard by oral ana written exercises grows mastery of lan guage. Hand Work. But there is a language of the hana which may not be omitted In our efforts to endow the human being with full pow ers of utterance. Mus!c, drawing, model ing, color work, outlining with thread or worsted, cutting and folding are not to be classed as "fads" or "frills," but as essential means of education. The child must learn to speak "a various language" in order to come into full possession of all his powers. Number "Work. In connection with these various forms of hand work we discover the most natu ral methods of number work. The best authorities agree that the first two years of school life should be kept free from drill in number. Much effort is now wast ed In attempting to teach prematurely what can be easily acquired at a period when the reasoning faculty is more fully developed. In his "Education of Man" Froebel points out the connection between drawing and number. How nuiiy legs for a chair, a table? How many arms for a man? How many cherries In this bunch? and so on. In folding and cutting the re lation of parts to a whole Is a matter of practical demonstration. "Music,"' writes the wise Comenlus, "is especially natural for us, for as soon as we see the light we Immediately sing the song of paradise," and he adds, fervently, "Blessed is the home where voices resound In music." No less blessed Is the school when harmony, grace and rhythm are cultivated through the angency of song. And there is no more complete sum mary of the general purpose of the first school years than the statement of this same herald of modern education: "Ao to sound learning, it admits of a three fold division, for we learn to know come things, to do some things, and to say some things; or, rather, we learn to know, to do and to say all things except such as are bad." Boston, Mass. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. For Eastern Oregon nnd Northern Idaho Information for Farmers. GARFIELD, Wash., Feb. 2. The two days' session of the farmers' Institute which closed here last evening has been a decided success, and will no doubt be of great benefit to the farmers of this country, who attended in large numbers and took an active Interest In the meet ing. Papers were read and lectures given on subjects of vital Interest to farmers, Including the care of horses' teeth, the breeding of beef cattle, production of mutton sheep, treatment for Insect pests, how to destroy fruit pests, etc. A horti cultural society was organized for the ter ritory embraced In Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington, and matters of In terest to fruitgrowers were discussed. In the morning, E. E. Elliott, assistant professor of agriculture at the agricul tural college at Pullman, delivered an In teresting and Instructive lecture entitled "Mutton Sheep In the Palouse Country," In which he gave some valuable Informa tion on how to raise sheep In this coun try, the best breeds for mutton purposes, etc. Professor Elliott urged the farmers of this country to engage In sheepgrow lng, advocating the production of mut ton Instead of wool. He stated that, If farms were fenced sheep-tight, reason ably small flocks of sheep can be raised with practically no expense, living on the foul growth on summer-fallowed land, and on the waste around the grain fields. Pj-ofessor Elliott said sheep kept on a Palouse farm will soon solve the summer fallow problem, by destroying all foul growth In the grain fields. He advised every farmer to secure a small flock of sheep for this purpose, and gave statistics to show how profitably mutton sheep can be produced in this country. Dr. S. B. Nelson, state veterinary sur geon, followed Professor Elliott In an in teresting lecture on the "Structure and Care of the Horse's Teeth." which he Il lustrated by a large number of speci mens of the Jaw bones and teeth of the horse. He explained at length and mi nutely how to tell the age of a horse, showing teeth of horses of all ages, from sucking colts to 16 years of age, and with these he instructed those present in the methods by which the age of a horse could be told within a few months. Dr. Nel son told how the teeth of a horse demand care, and showed many specimens of teeth which had been neglected, eventually re sulting in the death of the horse. He had several specimens of the skulls of horses intact and with these showed how diseased teeth had resulted in en larged jaw bones, and finally the death of th horse. He gave several simple remedies for common ailments of the ho-e. and told how to prevent diseases. E A. Bryan, president of the Wash ington agricu'rura' rollfge. delivered a lec ture on "Diversified Farming or M'xd AjTrirulture." Ho spoke at "er.gth. occu pying considerably more than an hr-ur. when an adjournment tva taken for a fe" lunch. In the evenlntr he was ronallrd.

President Bryan's talk was Well received, the farmers showing an interest in the subject and a desire to escape from the system of raising noth ing but wheat, which, in many cases, is unprofitable. In the afternoon, R. "W. Doarie, assist ant professor of botany, zoology and ento mology at the agricultural1' college, spoke for nearly an hour on "Insect Pests," de voting much of his time to the codlin moth, which he described as the worst pest the fruitgrower has to contend with In this country. He told how to know the moth, and showed several specimens of this moth, with which he desired the farm ers to become acquainted, so that, they can know when it appears In their or chards, and fight it He told of a simple method for destroying the pest by wrap ping the body of the tree with rags In which the moth farvea seeks refuge, and then removing the rags and destroying the larvea by burning. The farmers and fruitgrowers present took a deep interest in this subject, and asked Professor Doane many questions regarding the spraying of trees and the best methods of fighting In sect pests. The remainder of the afternoon session was devoted to a meeting of the "Whitman County Horticultural Society, a report of work done by F. R. Harrison, county fruit ipspector, and the organization of an Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho horticultural Society, with permanent neaaquarters at Spokane. A committee consisting of R. H. Lacey, of Colfax; R, C. McCroskey; of Garfield; R. W. Doane, of Pullman, and General T. R. Tannett of Farmlngton, was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws, elect a- presi dent and secretary, and arrange for fu ture meetings. WAXTS TO TEST THE LAW. Judge Barton, of Linn, On the' Scnip- Bounty Tax Levy. SALEM, Or., Feb. 2. In a letter to County Judge Terrell, Judge Barton, of Linn county, refers to the neglect of other counties to comply with the scalp-bounty law. Linn county made Its levy In Janu ary, as required. As Multnomah has re fused to make the levy, Linn Is not at all anxious to pay. and there Is some talk of testing the validity of the law. One attorney told Judge Barton that the act might be "declared void, for It does not provide for equal taxation. Concluding, he suggested that the Valley counties co-operate and test the law. XortliYveHt Appointment Confirmed. "WASHINGTON, Feb.- 2. The senate to day confirmed the following nominations: Postmasters Oregon. H. H. Riddle, The Dalles. Wxishlngton, A. J. Murtson, Shel ton; J. Lane Roslyn. T. B. Hildebrand, of Albla, la., was confirmed as receiver of public moneys at Rampart City, Alaska. Astoria Postal Receipts. ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 2. The receipts of the Astoria postofflce for the year 1899 were $11,446 30, while In 189S they were $11, 221 74. In the last three months of the year they showed a large increase over the corresponding months In the" previous year. 4 B t MONEY FOR OYSTER WORK. Government Will Pay for Experi ments at Ynquina Bay. The United States fish commission at Washington has shown its confidence in the Eastern oyster experiment at Yaqulna bay by agreeing to bear the expense of the work during the coming summer. This was done at the request of State Biologist Washburn, who wrote the commission that the small sum appropriated by the legis lature for this work was nearly exhausted, and that, unless some means were pro vided, the work could not go on this com ing summer. Mr. Washburn has had con structed a large concrete pond, which lie desires to try the coming season, In the hope of securing Eastern spawn therein. The, water in this pond will be aerated and renewed by a force pump, which will take the water from the bay and transfer to the pond at low tide dally, at which time the bay water at Oystervllle is at the right temperature and saltness. A plan such as this has been successful on the Eastern coast. Any Eastern spat so secured will be transferred to the bay. There seems to be an Impression that after these oysters which have been do nated to the state have been here a cer tain time, they can be taken up and serve to delight the, palate of Webf oot citizens. Such is not the case. They are donated to the state in trust by the United States government, and are In charge of the state fish commissioner along with othet fish products, and they cannot be lawfully touched. Their progeny, however, If there be any, and a few have already been found, will be for public use. The Inst consignment, received In November, of 10 barrels makes In all 32 barrels of this bi valve sent to Oregon. There will be more consignments possibly In the future. In the meantime everything Is being done which can be done to make the experi ment a success. Two or three years moro should tell the story. ; - THE RUNNING RACES.

Case's Ficmrinc; and Snvrmlll Burn ed at Pittsburg) in the Xeha lem Valley. SALEM, Or., Feb. 2. Governor Geer to day received a letter from a Los Angeles woman asking him to grant a complete pardon to Mrs. Hannah, who is Under life sentence for murder committed in Linn 'county. The writer states that while vis iting prisoners at the penitentiary recent ly she met Mrs. Hannah, and became so impressed with her conversation and de meanor that she determined lo secure her restoration to freedom. After more In the same strain the writer, who evidently thinks pardons may be had for the ask ing, concludes: "Give her her liberty, and If she ever again becomes amenable to the law, I am willing to go to prison and act as her substitute." The letter was placed on file. R. Sylvester, sentenced to one year In the penitentiary for larceny committed in Pendleton, was brought to this city today by Deputy Sheriff Blakely, of Umatilla county. Sylvester, the officer says, would have been a' model prisoner en route, put for the fact that he wanted to get to prison In too Dig a hurry. Whenever the train stopped at a station he vigorously protestea against "unnecessary delay," and he appeared to think that the stops were made for the purpose of keeping him out of prison as long as possible. Sheriff Livingstone, from far-off Grant county, was In Salem today for the first time since December, when he brought two convicts to the penitentiary. Today his charge was Thomas Stockton, aged 32 years, a harmless Insane man. United States District Attorney Hall came up from Portland this morning, to examine the deeds to the property which the general government purchased from the city, and upon which the federal building will be erected. Finding every thing satisfactory, Mr. Hall paid to Mayor Bishop and Recorder Judah J7500, the purchase price of the land. Professor J. H. Ackerman, superintend ent of public Instruction, will go to Hub bard tomorrow to address the local teach ers'.meetlng. GREAT COPPER SHOWING. Remarkable Reports of Lewi Ledge, on Tucker Creek. Baker City Democrat The local Interest which was created in Baker City last fall by the uncovering of the Lewis capper ledge, 18 miles north east of the city, has steadily grown with each day's development The width of the deposit was then thought to be 200 feet The ledge is now determined to be be tween 400 and 500 feet, and possibly wider. The cropplngs show It to be over a mile In length, and the ore on and above the surface, of which there are hundreds of thousands of tons, will run, throughout upwards of 5 per cent copper. The for mation Is volcanic, Insuring depth with out limit From the grass roots down, the values have steadily increased, until at a depth of 60 feet the average value in copper is 20 per cent, besides gold and silver to the amount of about $10 per ton. The copper Is in native form, and uniformly distrib uted through the rock. Samples that are dally coming In from the mine are liter ally "red" with the stuff. Old miners who have bee.n attracted to the place by the reports, which seem fabulous, declare that It is impossible to exaggerate the extent or richness of the1 ledge. The shaft which they are now sinking Is 4x6 feet in the clear, and every side of it, from the top to the bottom, is sprinkled with native copper, the only difference being that it is more plentiful the farther down you go. There Is not a pound of waste on the dump. Everything Is ore. At GO feet, where they are now working, the rock Is so tenacious with metal that two shifts of men a day make but six Inches in depth. Solid ingots of copper have been taken out weighing nearly one half a pound. Whatever may be said of Iowa people coming in and "cropping," right under the noses of Baker people, the biggest thing In Oregon, this at least can be- said: Eighteen miles from Baker City is the greatest copper deposit on earth. With their usual originality and enter prise, prospectors are now rushing In and staking the whole country, with a view to catching ome of the overflow from this gigantic upheaval of ore. The Copper Q,ueen. Baker Democrat. "Twenty men are at work, at Copper Butte,H said Manager Heisner, "and they aro sinking two double-compartment shafts. One of these shafts Is going down on the Copper Queen, and the other on the Little Baby claim, which Is one of the most promising claims owned by the Oregon Copper & Smelting Company. Thg ledge Is approximately 100 feet wide, and 390 feet of tunneling has been pushed In, the ledge matter being now cut. The townslte of Copper Butte Is all surveyed and platted, and lots will soon be put on the market. It Is the Intention of my com pany to erect a 200-ton smelter and con centrator at an early date, probably well within the coming six months." Quotations of Mlnlnc Stocks. SPOKANE. Feb. 2.

Word was received here last evening of the destruc tion of the- Elttsburg flouring and saw mill by fire, Tuesday night. The burning Is supposed to have been of Incendiary ori gin, as. there had been no lire In the mill for two days. The grist mill had been run by steam for the past four or five months, on .account of the washing out of the dam across the east fork of the Nehalem The 0ss Is several thousand dollars with only S10CO Insurance. Some grain was stored at the mill, but It will be the loss of those who owned it. The mill was the property of the Pitta- irnolor . to ir Hams cents burg Mill Company, but most of the stock had been bought up by W. D. Case, who 13 well known throughout the Nehalem val ley. About Ave years ago, Mrs. Case, In a fit of Insanity, committed suicide by drowning In the Nehalem river. About two years ago Mr. Dltrick, a member of the mill company, left rather unceremon iously, and was drowned while crossing the Columbia, near The Dalles. Last fall the first freshet coming down East Fork took out the dam. Mr. Case at once set about putting in a new dam. This dam was hardly finished when another freshet took It out. As there was a considerable quantity of wheat and grain stored for grinding, Mr. Case procured an engine and ran the grist mill until the fire con sumed It. QUARANTINE AGAINST SMALLPOX.

The mayor and common council of Rathdrum, Idaho, yes terday announced a blockade against Spo kane on the west, Butte on the east, and Shoshone county on the south, because of the smallpox epidemic. No traveler from any of the proscribed points will be permitted to stop at Rathdrum. Violation of this ordinance means a fine of J100. In Spokane eight new cases were today unofficially reported, making a total of 73 known cases.
