tKETS
BY LILIAN" TINKjLE.
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

BURGLARS STEAL PENDANTS
ARTS AXD CRAFTS EXHIBIT AT
ART MVSECM LOOTED.
Mystery Surrounds Job Many Arti
cles of Value Untouched and Two
Exhibitors Only Suffer.
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. Sold
