Ax Expert oh Honet. A. grocer, -who
yesterday, was waiting on a customer
who had asked for honey, laid several
samples of tho article before her wild
honey, tame honey, honey in the comb,
honey In Jars, fluid and solid honey. She
daintily sampled each kind, but found
none that suited her exactly and asked
for a particular brand which she had
purchased there before. The grocer
winked to a clerk, and asked the woman
what particular good qualities that kind
of honey possessed, "that she preferred It
to all others. She had noticed the wink,
and replied: "I prefer it because there Is
no honey in 1L" "How do you know
that?" asked the startled dealer. "Be
cause I can eat It and it agrees with me.
If I eat honey If always hurts me." "Well,
that is a remarkable way of testing
honey," said the grocer. "I am sorry, but
I have none of the kind you like." After
ahe went out he remarked that she was
as wise about honey asJJncle Billy Jones,
of Powell's Valley, who kept bees and
used to brag that by tasting any kind of
honey he could tell from what kind of
flowers It had been gathered. He had some
.friends visiting him one day and accom
panied them to Uncle Douglass over on
the Slough, who also kept bees. They de
termined to take some of his honey along
and havo It put on the table at Uncle
Douglass' and let Uncle Billy test It.
"When he was handed some of this honey
he tasted and tasted and looked wise, and
finally said it was good honey, but lacked
the whlteclover flavor, which the honey
from his hives had. Ho was angry when
he found how he had been fooled.
How AraiiALS Act in the Snow.
Parkkeeper Xowltz is not saying much
these days about the flowers which bloom
In the City Park, although there are many
rosebuds and roses there bent down
under the weight of snow, and gay
colored pansles still continue to hold up
their smiling faces above the scanty layer
of the "fleecy" which tries to conceal
them. He is looking after his seven pet
bears, which remain gay and happy de
spite tho weather. Some of them Insist
on sleeping out of doors, although there Is
plenty of room for them all In the bear
pits, 8x10 feet each. Two or three or the
little fellows will curl themselves up in
a pile, each with his nose burled in the
fur of another, and sleep tho night
through, and be burled under a thin
covering of snow. Mr. Lowitz saw suclj a
pile In the pit yesterday morning and
Imagined that some of his pets were dead.
but when he got a long pole and prodded
the heap out tumbled three bears as
lively as crickets and Jolly as sand boys
fast The black swans in tfee park sleep
floating in the pond with their toes cud
dled un in their feathers as warm as
toast, and In the morning clear them
selves of now with a flirt of their power-
iui wings, ana iook wniu me wuiie our
roundlngs as if they had been newly pol
Ished by a shoeblack. They are flourish
ing, and occasionaly hear the notes of
white swans passing over, which appear
to interest them greatly.
No Horn: for. Orphan Cats Here. The
mention of a housekeeper desiring that
the poundmaster be authorized to arrest
estrajv cats, as weu as aogsana came,
has caused a protest to be sent in by a
person who states that a Boston woman
some time ago bequeathed a building to
that city, as a home for orphan cats and
dogs, and also tho sum of $40,000, the in
come from which Is to provide for the
caro and feeding of such animals. There
is no telling what a woman, especially a
Boston woman, will do, but many will
say that she might better have left the
building and the money for tho benefit
of orphan children. At all events she does
not include Oregon cats in her bequest,
and 3P the stray and orphaned felines of
Portland may have to go to the pound.
Some people would provide for a cat and
treat a human being like a treetoad,
which can live on air and scenery. Others
do not like to relinquish their grasp on
their money, when death grasps them,
and, as "all they can hold in their cold,
dead hands is what they can carry away,"
they hasten to give all they have to the
cats and dogs, but If they do continue to
hold it they don't know it, and it does
them no good.
Muck Street "Work in Prospect. Tho
weather has caused a pretty general sus
pension of work In street improvements,
but there is no let-up in preparing plans
and specifications for such work in the
City Engineer's office. Those for over 50
street andlsewer Improvements now under
way are onflle there, and In the Auditor's
department there are plans of over 100
such Jobs stacked up, for intending bid
ders to examine. This furnishes the
contractors with something to do while
their tearoB are munching hay and oats
tn their stables and their men are putting
the plant In order.

down, and five yards of dirt with It, and
another at the summit to haul It -back.
He has contracted to remove SO.O00 yards

Wht the Doctor Hatbs Wildcats.
Wildcat stocks, wildcat mines and wild
cat speculators are In general disfavor,
but none of them can compare in the way
of natural Inborn cussedness and mean
ness with the wildcat itself produced la
Oregon. This Is tho verdict of a well
known physician of this city, who once
allowed himself to be presented with a
wildcat by a friend who had become tired
of the beast. The doctor, used to purchase
a liberal allowance of butcher's meat for
the cat every day and by gentle treat
ment and liberal feeding sought to win
its confidence and affection. The scheme
proved a failure, for, even when a porter
house steak was passed in to it, it would
scowl and growl at the donor and spit
and snarl at the steak, and act as If it
would sooner have a collop off Its master,
who In time tired of such conduct, and
determined to change his tactics. He
asked the butcher to give him a lot of
white-leather, or paxywaxy, the- strong
ligaments of the back of the neck ot
animals, which help to support the head.
This he tossed to the wildcat, as suited to
its style, and the animal started to make
a meal off it. The stuff is about as
capable of mastication as a. piece of
hempen rope, and the cat chewed and
chewed till tired and then tried to bolt it,
but it stuck in the throat and choked him.
The doctor watched with much satisfac
tion, the efforts of his pet to fill its
stomach with the stuff and made up his
mind to put It on a white-leather diet for
a week, thinking that by that time it
would at least pretend to be grateful for
a good steak. The cat, however, bad had
enouch and that nicht scratched and
gnawed Its way out of Its cage and dls-
appeared as also 41 d three blooded chick
ens the doctor had procured at great ex
pense. The cat wa3 not seen for some
time, but gave evidence of being on earth
by raiding the chicken pen every night
and carrying off several chickens. When
the doctor's stock jvas exhausted a neigh
bor's chickens began to disappear and he,
being a man of choleric temper, laid In
wait with a gun and shot the cat. Some
of the doctor's friends have often won
dered why he Is never1 enticed into any
wildcat schemes. 1
Valuable Relics op Ozj Oregon. A
number of interesting old documents and
relics have been presented to the col
lection of the Oregon Historical Society
by the heirs of the late Colburn Barrell,
a pioneer citizen related to Joseph. Bar
rel!, of Boston, who was one of the lead
ing spirits of the company which sent
Captain Gray around to this Coast in the
ship Columbia, Among the documents is
a copy of Preston's sectional and county
map of Oregon and Washington, west of
the Cascades, showing all tho flouring
mills and sawmills, postofflces, roads,
trails and county boundaries. The map,
which is 2x5 feet, was published in New
York In 1856, at which time Wasco County
Included all the territory east of the Cas
cades. It is well printed and In perfect
condition. Other documents are a sup
plement to the Dally Oregonlan contain
ing the city charter of 1EC4. There is also
a copy of the quaint old Boston Almanac
of 1S49, and a copy of McConnick's Oregon
Almanac for 1SG0, a copy of the speech of
Senator Baker, of Oregon, on the seces
sion question, delivered in the United
States Senate. January 2 and 3, 1661; a
complete copy of the first volume ot the
Oregon Farmer, the first agricultural
Journal published in this state in 1831, in
which the price of bees is quoted as 5133
per hive. In the volume Is a receipt for
a year's subscription to the paper signed
by A- G. Walling, an old-time printer and
publisher of this city. Among the relics
Is an old-fashioned smoothing plane, made
of a piece of black oak from fhe hull of
the frigate Constitution, Old Ironsides,
which figured In the War of 1812.
Predicting a Freeze-Up. The appear
ance of the ground fairly whitened with
snow, a rare spectacle here, has set the
weather prophets and many general all
round prevaricators at work, in a wild
effort to get up a freeze-up. Nothing short
of having the Willamette frozen over so
that teams can cross on It a thing that
happens only once In the lifetime of many
will suit them. The majority of old-
timers who put their trust In tho climate,
are taking the matter easily as well as
coolly, and are expecting a change lor
the better at any moment, and the
chances are that their confidence will not
be abused. "We are In for a cold snap
this time," said one prophet, yesterday.
It Is IS years since the river was frozen
over and It is time for this to occur
acaln." "Time for nothing," said an old
pioneer; "It will not be time tor anotner
freeze-UD till 18 years more nave passea,
Why, the wind Is now trying to get into
the south, and the moment it ooes, gooa
hve to snow and frost." This is the true
Ore con spirit, but It must do aumiuea
that life and the weather are "mignty on
sartln" The weather map yesterday
showed high pressure areas north And
east of this region and they were crowd
ing the low pressure area off the edge of
the country and striving to anve away
the balmy hreezes from the Japan cur
rent, which makes the climate here so
mild in Winter.

Iceman Is Disgruntled. The driver of
an Ice wagon, who- was tugging Ice into
a confectionery on Morrison street yes
terday, when snow was falling, seemed
disgusted with the vanity of all human
labor. He said to a policeman passing:
"I wish I had a long cape with brass
buttons and a mush-kettle hat and noth
ing to do." A bystander remarked that he
thought everybody wanted to be the Ice
man. "That Is so In the bummer time,"
was tho reply, "but In the Winter, I want
to be a policeman.

That most delightful comedy of Shake
speare, "Twelfth Night," with Marie
Walnwright as Viola, drew a capacity
niirifonnp tn th M&Mtiam Theater last
night, and the star was cordially received
as soon as she appeared in the masculine
attire of Cesario. Her support wasfalr,
considering the fact that the most ex
pensive seats in the house were $1 each.
The. fact remains, however, that Miss
Walnwright is much better than her sup
port. She. is remembered here for her nne
work presented on previous visits in "The
School for Scandal" and "Shall We For
give Her?" It is easy Jto see that Mlra
Walnwright is an experienced actress.
Tears ago she was a member of the fa
mous Boston Museum Company, and for
eight years she played with Lawrence
Barrett, afterward playing for three years
with Louis James. Her Viola is a suf
ficiently romantic, poetic one to arouse
appreciation, and she was highly convinc
ing in the scene with Orslno, where, in
describing her hidden love for him, she re
peated the well-remembered lines:
She never told her love, but let concealment.
Like a worm in the bud, prey upon her cheek.
Miss Wainwright'gavo a most amusing
picture of womanly timidity in the duel
scene. J. K. Applebee made a sufficiently
humorous Sir Toby Belch, and was ably
assisted in this line by Spottiswoode Ait

traiture of Malvolio and Meta Rogers

lard was strong as Sebastian. In the clos
ing scene the orchestra played very effec
tively Schubert's "Serenade."
Last night the drop curtain on the stage
was taken away and the asbestos curtain
descended and ascended at tho close of
every act. This practice will be continued
in future. When the performance ended
the doors leading to the fire escapes were
purposely left open, but 99 per cent of the
audience passed out as usual by the main
door leading to Morrison street.

EEAIi ESTATE IS MOVING.
Deal for $40,000 In Business'Section
Closed.
The amount of valuable property that
has been transferred in Portland in the
last few days makes the real estate man's
heart warm within him with the signs
of coming Spring, activity. The Portland
.General Electric Company bought of the
Eastern & Western Lumber Company a
site for Its new power-house down by the
Exposition, two or three considerable
pieces of up-town property have changed
hands for neat sums, but the chief event
was the final passing of deeds In the $40,-
000 purchase of the northwest corner of
Seventh and Stark. This transaction was
made by two conveyances, however halt
of it going to -21 s. JacKson ana the other
half to a mysterious person who calls him
self the Western American Company.
These transactions, added to the $25,000
and $40,000 transfers that nave become al
most common lately, make a presentable
beginning to what the real estate men
have long prophesied would be a. startling
season.
The activity among architects is greater.
however. More than one,, claims to have
now a million dollars' worth of work in
sight, and some of the things they are go
ing to do to change the appearance of the
city are beginning to be known. The
latest of these is a six-story steel-framed
building; entirely without lateral support.
that is to be built on the northeast corner
of Sixth and' Stark. It is to be an office
Trtiildlng, the first in that vicinity, show
ing the rapid change that is coming over
the two streets at the intersection of
which this entirely modern structure is
to stand. Next to it work Is already be
gun on a brick of equal height. The first
of these will be the property of Russel &
Blyth, the second of William D. Fenton.,
One block above, on the northwest cor
ner, the site that has Just been Bold, there
is to be a four-story brick with stores, on
the grounVi floor. Just one thing will pre-,
vent this latter structure from going up.
the. price of property Is rising so rap
idly that the purchasers may consider it
Tvorth their while to sell again. When
these three buildings are completed they
will not only benefit the neighborhood In
-which they stand, but will give the up
town business section more breadth.
It is prophesied that many modern build
ings of this kind will spring up all over
the business section of town. When these
that are now planned are finished. In fact,
they will make a considerable difference
in the sky line.
The main reason why buildings are being
reared so - rapidly Is that rents are rising
apace. In several down-town business
blocks notices have been sent to occupants
of offices that rents would be raised. A
consideration ot the advance demanded
shows a desire on the part of the owners
of these buildings to increase their income
from them about 15 per cent. That Is not
enough to drive tenants out, and no .doubt
the increased demand warrants the ac
tion. Otherwise, the owners cquld not af
ford to ask the higher rent.

love will find a way by sending a message
to the busy Justice.
Justice Beld apparently appreciated the
situation. A witness was being cross-examined
in the' case at bar, and as soon
as that process had been completed he
ordered a recess. He then stepped into
his private office, performed the cere
mony, and rsumed court again, all within
a space of 15 minutes.
The trial had been delayed and the court
had to sit fifteen minutes longer Into the
day. But an anxious young couple had
been made happy and. as Mr. Befd said.
It "was really worth while.

hire W. J. Bryan? I also read in the same
issue of your paper that he is an unsuc
cessful farmer. How can that be when
In 1200 your paper represented the crop
harvested off his little farm in Nebraska
as so enormous that we ignoramuses out
in the West imagined he would at once
form a grain trust beside which all other
trusts would sink Into insignificance? Per
haps the soil of Nebraska has ceased to
yield. An explanation of these seemingly
inharmonious statements would greatly
oblige A SUBSCRIBER.
JThe Oregonlan did not include Mr.
Bryan's farming among his failures, but
the truth is that he bought his farm and
built his nne house and barn with money
made In politics money he could not make
In any productive Industry. He has never
been taken seriously as a lawyer, farmer
or editor. His occupation Is politics.
