Wednesday evening Rev A L Undaley,
of Portland, delivered the fourth lecture
of the W C T U course, to a large and ap
preciative audience. His subject was
"The Art of Pleasing," and he certainly
shewed that he was practicing what he
preached. It is a plain subject, but as
handled by Rev Llndsley a litely one.
While it is easier to follow one in a trip
around the world, through Parts or Hol
land, one will not have much trouble in
sailing with Rev Lindaley for an hour on
the sea of Gentlemanly Conduct. It pays
to he a gentleman and to bo pleasing in
ones manner, even if It put on, particu
larly in hu tineas, for, as the speaker said,
-an empty sugar barrel will attract mere
flies than a full vinegar barrel. One
should not discriminate aa to whom they
net gentlemanly. The true gentleman
.makes no distinction as to dress or wealth;
one can but admire a wall known London
er who was in the hsblt of offering the
protection of his embrelia in s rain storm
to even the homely, ignorant old apple
women. However great tat intellect, oae
cannot appreciate even Carlisle, when he
earns home, from a long trip, found every
thing carefully arranged by his excellent
wife for him, but noticing nothing, coarse
ly inquired why the window wedge was
not in its place.
Replete with sensi ble, practical thoughts,
and many well told incidents, the testes
proved a useful one. and no doubt many
who heard it, anticipated New Tears, and
resolved to be more courteous and gentle
manly towards everybody, even their
wives and husbands.
The next lecture will take place on Fri
day availing of next week, Nov. 80, and
-will be by Miss Ellen F Spalding, a public
-and talented teacher, of Portland, on '"The
Higher Education of Women."
Self Art tn Kail road Switch.
Mr J H Waite, road master of the O A
R R, well known by many In tnis city,
who wiU be remembered by some aa
being one of the young men representing
the rail read at the presentation of the
solid silver trumpets, has just invented a
switch tender which will he of great value
not only to him but the traveling public
generally. By it all lean of accidents
from sleeping switch tenders are done
away with, this making such accidents
immpessible. The following description
taken from the "Oregonian" will show
what the ingenuis contrivance it : "The
appartus is placed on the west side of the
track and consists of two rods fixed to the
end of the nearest rail of the movable
main track and one red through the fixed
rail into the nearest movable rail, of the
sidetrack. These rods lead to arms of
different angles fixed to a common shaft.
A center weight with handle is also at
tached to the shaft. The main track be
ing connected, a train leaving the switch
enters the main track by spreading; the
west rail of the switch track half the dis
tance of the wee- rail and the levers act
upon both rails of the movable main
track, forcing them to connect with the
rails on which the train is running. The
switch is now connected with the side
track, and a train coming down the main
track revert ea the operation. By this de
vice it is impossible for a train leaving
either of the two tracks not to enter the
single track, and there is no danger of
leaving the track by reason of a misplaced
switch."
Carp.
Mr John Irving, our Postmaster, re
ceived several carp last week, which he
has placed in his yard. A car load was
brought to Portland last week and will
be placed in the streams of the North
west. An exchange has the following
to say of them : "The carp is a pound
fish, and is especially adapted to small
bodies of still and muddy water. They
are not, properly speaking, a game fish.
They can be wintered in a cellar with
proper care. They are quite hardy
and can be kept alive out of water, if
in mass, twenty -four hours. Tuere are
three species of tha carp the scale,
leather and mirror. As food they are
equal or superior to cattish, suckers
perch and all the common native varie
ties. They are fit for ta'ale from Octo
ber to May."
The value of carp is shown by the
fact that they are sold by private fish
eulturists at 85 per pair, or 885 per 100.
A one-acre pond will produce 1,600
pounds the first year, and 2,503 pounds
each year thereafter.

Hers is the way a Polk county farmer
explains the scarcity of farm products :
The reason why the farmers of western
Oregon make wheat raising a specialty, is
because it brings the cash sure st some
price. The infernal revenue and the pro
tective tariff tews are breaking ths farmer
down, at least oa this coast, if not in all ths
states. No high protective tariff candidate
need to show his hsad, tor the farmer is not
in humor for it. Those lews are ths main
reason why ee many farmers sre in debt.

Mrs Mary Porter died at her home in

her waahing the day she wss taken sick.
Besidss she was in the habit of milking her

besides sometimes keeping several boarders
