The Orcgoniaa of yetlfrday edi torially aid: "An association ttavmg for iu object the development nd en couragement of the poultry Indue try in Linn and Lane counties lately orgtnixt-d at Eugen". TbU industry can only be developed in proportion to ml the dem nd, even of our !'cal market, eat'efac torily by special and intelligent effort. It ie no n;ore a part of ordinary farm fnJuetry thin is the dairy business, and aa long at farmers are looked to to furnish the market, it will be practically bare ol Ir?sh egg, expect in the early spring month. To be sure, "nnch eggs" are usually to be had in any quantity, but they are mostly from the ranches of iho MidJIe West, wheiepoul'ry-raiMng has develop ed into adietinct Indus ry. lue aztive, happy-go-lucky barnyard hen, that mak e her own living and is expected to do so, has ber place in the rural economies, but she is not a revenue producer nor a maiket-supplier. Thi-t h is become a Generally accepted fact, as wit nessed by the special attention which has of iate been Riven to t,oultry-r liaing in several sections of the state. Enterprise in this line should succeed. TIU.NKSUITi.NG. Thanksgiving tomorrow. The day is not kept in the spirit ir teoded by its founders, one of strio' religious observance; it hat broad ened into a day of social amenities, strengthening bonds nl friendship, while the religious sentiment bas gained in fervor and heartielt de votion. This is a good time for thoie who are more fortunite in theaffirsof life to remember their 'poorer neiibor. Substantia gifts to the wiJof with helpless children to support, the family without a nat ural protector, else one incapable of earning a sufficient support, should be remembered with gen erous gifts of food and clothing. Bneet Charity is the noblest emo tion of the human soul. ''It is mora blessed to give than to re ceive." It is very probable Eugone has poor whose conditions ot want are known only to nearest neighbors; families, too proud to appeal for charily. They should te remem be red. LOOK AT HOME. The Portland wholesale mer chants have just returned from a visit to Eastern Washington, East ern Oregon and Western Haho, where they have been getting per sonally acquainted with the local merchants and the country. This is quite commendable and will be of benefit to the metr jpolis of our state. But, the merchants of Tort- land should make a like trip through the Willamette valley and as far sout h as Ashland. This count ry lies at the door of that city, but she is and ha been neglecting this grand section and as a result the trade is scattering Eastward and Califjrniaward. Wholesalers of Portlend, we cordially in vie you to visit us. Don't b partUl. . The actions of the supreme conrt of California says the Jacksonville Tiunes seem to indicate that it does not wish that Durrant shall be hanged, as it is throwing every obstacle in its power in its ay oi the execution of his sentence. It will not be in session when his case should come up fur hearing, and perhaps it would make little differ ence if It was. There are powerfu secret influences at work in lavor of the condemned murderer. Giffored Pinihott, secretary of the National Forestry Commission, who spent considerable time on Klamath lake lust summer, in a recent letter to the Oregonian says thiit that sheet of water is gradu ally filling uo. The streams whioh flow into the lake, aiinounn wond erfully clear, tuirry fin s'.lt, whioh la alawlr turning it into a marsh. The vast ana of meadow lands is formed by this gradual accumula tion, Mr Pinchott says. Tha AaMand auhool district has purchased a fin encyolopedia for school use. n-very nonon mainc should be a possessor of some stand ard encyclopedia and the latest edi tion of Websters dictionary.

Ilimt la Wblcb Our Moth- en fcaaelled tbs Ulrla of Today. In an artblo eutlih-d "An Old Tim AcoaiiiiilUhiiK'nt." In Tbe Woman' Home Companion, Kdwnrd L.

Of course those mothoM of ours bad thulr whim and iiurclscd I lie prlcolo . prlvllxires or thoughtlessness and snapping now and then at girl, and other than girl, have llwayt dure, but I think It cannot be d tlcd that the girl of a generation ago had loonsck-noeon the subject of debUof gral Itudo ucb a few have bad line her day. I have said that I am afraid that with many of ot today It U a loit art.

A traveler from Mar might bear our 'Thnnkil' a million tlmrsand never suipect that It was meant at an acknowledgment of a favor.

Of course thlt docs not Justify or ac- oount for tho ourrent Inck of gnllnntry among men, but 1 am not engaged In the hopeless tait ot restoring men to the old paths, but In the hopeful one of pointing out a neglected talent which the moat obarmlng of girls may onltivat with good result. I am not grumbling. I do not mean to say that the girl or the period I on whit behind tbe girl of the pari I do not believe In the deendonos ot women. I believe that the girl of today Is equal to th girl ber mother used to be, but I do not believe that It I enough to any ot our girl that they are cquol to tho girls of the past any mora than It I enough to any of a flower that ha had the beat attention of th best florist for a goneratlnn that It I beautiful today a It was 80 years ago. If we have dune wisely, tbe girl of today ought to bave not only something which ber mother lacked, but she ought to bave all ber mother' grnoet a well Bat it I crlou question whether, In presilng her development, we have not cultivated some qualities at the expense or ethers, just a In pretilng the development of a oer'jiln Bower we have increased It lz and beau ty at tb expense ot It frngrunoe." OLD TIME BURIALS. Whaa Maw Eugland Bum Was Ever Pres ent at New England Funerals, American awakened more quickly than the English peoplo to tb follies of a bur demonic and expensive funeral, and In 1781 Judge Kewall noted the 11 rat public funeral "without sonrfa" In Bonton. In 1741 the provincial court of MnssnchusetU enacted that "no scarves or gloves, except Ix pair to the bearer and one pair to each minister of the church or congregation where any dw-enwd person belongs, no wlno, rum or ring Im allowed to lie given It any funeral upon tho penalty of 50." Tbe law murt have been a dead letter, but It ocrtalnly had It Inlluouce In curtailing expenses, n varlou nowapnper notice how. titill, thl century a New Englund funeral was a puinpou affair, and It luuat be confessed fur from being In all rcspecU a gloomy udiilr. Hawthorne soy: "Look buck through all the eoclnl oua- toiu of New England In tho first century ot her existence and road nil her trnlts ot ohurncternml find ona occasion other than a funeral fi-ust where Jollity was sanc tioned by universal practice." New England rum ivu ever present nt a Now England funerul tosolaccund tochcer bereaved mourners All drunk before tho procession to tho grove, and many drunk fur. Nearly all the Itemized funeral bill I have seen until this oentury wero largo In Item of rum, whisky, lemon, loaf bur trand pplces Hplced rider wus o fnvur tto drink nt a funerul. When a beloved minister chnncrd to dlo, hi t-hnrch c,r more often the town outdid Itself In liber al liquid provision for tho funerul. Nor wero town pauper forgot In denth. A barrel of cider or two nr three pillion of rum were itippllcd by tho town as the llnal Item of expense for the "town poor." Judge Sevnill ipokoot a visit to his fam ily tomb a an "uwful yet pleasing treat." Not lesi plainly do tho entries in hi diary how thnt every funeral he attended wo to htiu a treat a greut toclnl excltemont Ho erved readily and olllclully at pall bearer at 80 funerals and In ovory ense but ona received n-arf, ring and glove. Ho could not attend one funerul lest he should hear the burial service ot the Episcopal church, whloh, ho said, was "n lying, very bad ollico; nuke nn difference be tween the precious or the vile."

Several author ot tb. end of tho six toenth and beginning of the seventeenth oentury mention a man wbo bad lost both hi eye, but could see through hi noso. An aoeount of him I given In the "Occti lu Artlflcloll Tuledloptrlout" of Joannl Zahn.

During the next Ave or tlx yean he learned to distinguish object brought un der hi nose. M. K. Doulllot, a French physiologist, explain tbe phenomenon by supposing tbat tbe membranes, and par ticularly tb. retina at the base of the eye, were sound, and that an opening com municating with the nose permitted the light to reach tbe retina through the nose It Uwell known that If light enter a dark room by a narrow aperture It will form an Image or ploture on a screen there, and something ot tb. kind happened In the oats ot th. man who taw with bit nose What lis I any In pe- I the ood tnd NOSEBLEED.
