THIS week marks tho arrival of the earliest loganberries and blackberries both of which are 15 cents a box.' The boxes are small, however. Strawberries continue to cost 15 to 20 cents a. box, the latter being the price of the Hood River berries. It is to be hoped that the weather authorities will be kinder to us during the coming week, so that both ber ries and roses may be plentiful enough for the first week of June. There are new cantaloupes to be had for those who feel Inclined to pay 50 cents each for them, and there are small, rather anaemic looking apricots, which nevertheless, might be passable In tarts. Cherries are more plentiful and cost 13 to 20 cents as a rule, though "Royal Anns" are 2a cents. Gooseberries, at 10 cents a pound, are among the most de licious of fruits at present. A generous friend in the country sent me some delicious, spicy-flavored goose berries a few days ago all carefully stemmed, too, ready for cooking. If I have time, some of them will be con verted Into that old-fashioned English sweetmeat known as "gooseberry cheese." It is first-cousin of. "apple butter," but stiffcr and if kept for two years it takes on a fine flavor unequalled even by the famous "guava jelly." Mangoes, ban nanas, grape fruit, oranges, apples and rhubarb complete the list of fruits. Asparagus Is getting scarcer anl peas more plentiful. Both are good. New green Oregon cabbage is now to be had, at 10 cents a head, and is delicious, either plain or with a savory meat stuffing. C?elery is almost, if not quite unobtain able. The wise woman uses celery -seed (at 25 or 30 cents a pound) In her soups and sauces, and makes with it celery vinegar for her salad dressing. Tomatoes are scarce this week and green peppers are still to be classed as luxuries. String and wax beans and "Windsor beans, cauliflower, artichokes, egg plant and Summer squash are all available, though not exactly cheap, and there is new corn in already, at 20 cents a dozen. Fresh green onions are much to the fore at present; and the bulbs are just the right size for making Alexander Dumas' favorite, "beef en matelotte." Among the fish. California pompmo is new to me; nor do I propose to make Its moro intimate acquaintance, at 75 cents a pound. Silver smelt are in again at 12a cents. Shad is particularly cheap and plentiful, and shad roe costs from 15 to 25 cents a pound, according to quality. Black bass are 30 cents; croppies, sea trout, striped bass. 20 cents: catfish, sole, and salmon, 15 cents; cod and hallibut, 12'. cents, and herring, flounder and perch, 10 cents a pound. There seems to be no change in the retail price of poultry, nor any likeli hood of it until after the Rose Festival; although L believe wholesale rates are, or have been, a little lower. There are nlve. large tame pigeons to be had now at 25 cents each, though squabs maintain their dignity at 75 cents a pair. Spring lamb ts getting cheaper and larger; soon it will be mutton, or, as one marketman more politely expressed it. "mutton will all be 'lamb' pretty soon LECTURE AT ART MUSEUM Miss Jessie B.

Burglars with an eye to the artlstlo broke Into the Museum of Fine Arts during the early hours of yesterday morning and stole valuable portions of the exhibits placed In the museum by the Arts and Crafts Society of Portland. Plunder having; an actual value of $500 and prized artistically far In. excess of that amount was taken. Considerable mystery surrounds the crime and the police are unable to determine whether the work was that of persons in a position to know the lay of the land or of professional crooks. It seems likely that the thief or thieves were not of the ordinary type, for the locks on two cases were opened' without damage being done. Pendants were taken for the most part and oddly enougn the stolen ar ticles belonged almost entirely to two women, Mrs. Watkins. of Cleveland. O.. and Mrs. Cunningham, ' of San Franciscc Many articles of great value. Including silverware that could easily be sold or pawned, were left undisturbed. The robbery was discovered by Mrs. Huglit Hume at the opening of the exhibit yesterday morning, and the police were notliled at once. An in ventory of the stolen pendants showed that the loss would reach $500, fully covered by burglar Insurance. A round of the pawnshops and second-hand stores was made immediately, but no part of the loot had been pawned or sold. Just how entrance was effected has not been decided. A window was found opfen in the basement, but there was no evidence that It had been used. It Is regarded as more proba ble that the thieves, of whom It Is believed there - were two at least, re mained In the building Thursday night after the closing of the ex hibit. Two detectives are now giving their entire attention to the case. It Reached the Spot. Mr. E. Humphrey, who owns -a large general store at Omega. O., and is pres ident of the Adams County Telephone Co., as well as of the Home Telephone Co., of Pike County, O.. says of Dr. King's New Discovery: ''It saved my life once. At least I think It did. It seemed to reach the spot the very seat of my cough. when everything else failed.'1 Dr. King's New Discovery not only reaches the cough spot; It heals tne sore spots and the weak spots In throat, lungs and chest.
