MTT1.E Y LITTI-E. One step, and then another. And thojongest walk is ended ; Onestich, and then another, And the largest rent is mended. Ojie brick upon another, And the highest wall is made; One flake upon another. And the deepest snow is laid. So the little coral workers, By their slow but constant motion, XJave built those pretty islands In the distant, dark blue ocean. And the noblest undertakings Man's wisdom hath conceived By oft repeated efforts 'Have been patiently achieved. A Word to Working Men. The Dramatic Chronicle, which is as " independent as a hog on ice," gives the workingmen ot) San Francisco 6ome sound advice. We quote from it: We have encountered quite a num ber of "representative" workingmen that is, of workingmen gifted v ith great loudness and fluency of speech, and who are much more fond of talk ing, blowing, and playing the dem agogue generally, than of taking off their coats and doing a square day's work, and who are inveterately giv en to speaking of" capital'' as if it were some monstrous nd cviNmind ed oigre that lived on cthe life-blood ofolabor, and of capitalists as the sworn foes and natural oppressors of the working classes. Ave have met such specimens, and we have uni formly found them ignorant, con ceited, and intensely disagreeable. Thev are naturally of an uneasy, rpstless, discontented turn who find delight in stirrii of mind up bad feeling in their felloes, misleading their judgment, and in mischief making generally. Tho influence of these men is not good, and we warn tho more industrious and orderly of their clasQsgaiust them. They are almost invariably petty politicians, manipulators and wire-pullers in a small way, anxious to play the dem agogue, and are in most cases cither aspirants for office themselves, or the instrument and agents of those who are looking for ofiice. Unfortunately San Francisco is full of such. Now the fact is there is no logical or nec essary antagonism between labor and capital. Their interests are identical. Each needs the other, and neither can suffer without corresponding in jury to the other. Our exhortation 10 workingmen is, waste no time in grumbling, give no heed to the elo quence of mischief-making dema gogues. Attend to your work, be industrious, be economical, indulge in no bad habits, save something every week, and at least make a beginning in the way of becoming " capitalists" yourselves. Candleixg Eggs. This operation of looking through an egg by means of a candle placed behind it is called candleing an egg, by poulterers, who have taken advantage of its trans parency in order to ascertain its soundness. From a mere trade practice it has risen to the dignity ol a scientific manipulation, and more pertect apparatus has been made for detecting the changes going on with in the egg at different periods of in cubation, also for assisting in re searches on the formation of mon strosities by coating portions of the shell. Carbonnier's apparatus cons sistcd of a hollow cylinder, in the center of which was a powerful liht. The Bulletin de 7a Socicte W AcclU mattilinn. hns lntflv nnLIi&ViPil tho rip. frcription of another plan, which con sists in a screen, sliding in a groove cut in a block, used as a pedestal This screen, which is of wood, has a longitudinal slit in a vertical direc tion, behind which is a lamp, the light of which is imprisoned, so as only to fall on the egg placed in front of the slit. In large egg hatching establishments eggs are generally candled on the tenth day of incuba tion. . New Uses of Mica. Mica coated with a silver film is now used in this country for large reflectors. Fuscher f Nuremberg has suggested that em ployment of silvered mica for cover ing curved surfaces, the flexibility of mica giving it great advantages over glass. After being heated, mica loses most of its flexibility, but it thenqnakes a beautiful material for inlaying work. A pretty effect is obtained by scattering small frag ments of mica on freshly poured sheets of gelatine. Finely ground inifii mixed with a solution of cum arable may be used for a silver ink. To Keep Hams Through Summer. After your hams have taken salt hang them up and smoke them well. Then take them down and dip them into boiling water for a few seconds, which will kill all the eggs of insects should there be any on them. Then roll the ham in ashes while wet, and hang theffi up again smoke fhem again if you choose. This wfll do also, for shouldcrsQand sides. Those who cure bacon in this way will never have any bugs or skippers on their meat. q . -o. .o. IIomes Everywhere. Oue can scarcely go amiss of a good place in the northern States to locate, accord ing to all accounts. One must break out, be industrious, and sharp, save his money, da void lager-beer saloons and Ion" stories and he will do well enough. Chancts were never more abundaut anywhere, than in Oregon to-day. - ---- Exercise your Horses. Farmers should not nejjlect to give theirhorses proper exercise. Do not suffer the horses to stand the whole week in the stable, but give, at least, one hour's exercise daily. Give sloppy food at least twice a week, and throw a lump of rock sail in the manger. Ask your neighbor for ihe EsT2R?ar52. to subscribe FARM ITEMS: IIogs and apple trees, raised in the grass, will produce neither lard nor cider. Why are buckwheat cakes like caterpillars ? Because they are the grub that makes the butterfly. No man so well understands farm ing as he who has made poor land rich, and will keep it rich. The prevaling weed in California is the wild mustard, from which a com pany is making oil worth $1 50 per gallon. Less &kill is rquired to make whisky than vinegar. In Germany, they have a vinegar school where the stu dent graduates in four months. lie is unfit to be a king who does not understand and who cannot help the laborer. lie wbo understands and helps the laborer is a king. No where in the world, except with us, are the houses so small that there is not room to hang up a map of the country. American gardeners neglect noth ing more than the cultivation of our ild plants and flowers. Like some scholars they value nothing unless it comes from Europe. The Michigan State Agricultural Society offers a premium of 100 for the best farm not less than 1G0 acres. They uoght to offer $500 for a farm less than 40 acres which will beat it. A german chemist, with a glass magnifying twenty millions of times, sees in a drop of human blood all kinds of animals tigers, flics, ele phants, musketoes, sheep, bird?, fish, and cattle. A farmer who changes seed, hogs, and roosters will have good results. America was settled on this plan. Compound farming is as follows: An acre of clover is worth 5 ; followed by plaster, $10; by wheat, $20. The reason why farmers pay so much toll is because burr stones, which come from France, have to be paid for in grain. Much would be saved if we would work the excellent quarries here. The latest triumph of the French is gradually to remove the pith from fruit trees, and from grafts of the wood, to grow fruit without the seed. They first learned this art by taking the pith out of themselves. Neither dog or wild animal can track the doe while her fawn is una ble to take care of itself. Next to providence is the father. As carefully he should protect the innocent and helpless of his family. The latest trick for worming mon ey out of farmers is the oak silk worm. When let out in the morning he runs up trees, and comes back at night ready to spin. lie will do well if he spins a yarn equal to this. " Didn't yon tell me you could hold the plow said a farmer to an irishman lie had taken on trial." "Be aisy, now," says Pat. "How could I hould it an' two horses pullin' t away ? Just stop the cray turcs and I'll hould it for you " Wedding Cake. Four pounds of flour, three pounds of butter, three pounds of sugar, two pounds of cur rants, three pounds of raisins, 24 eggs, one ounce of mace, three nutmegs, are recommended as the ingredients for a cake that will keep two or three years. To Remove rust from iROX-Pound glass to a fine powder; having nailed some strorg woolen cloth on a board, lay upon it a strong coat of gum va ter, and sift thereon some of the powd ered glass ; let it dry ; repeat this operation three times, and when the last covering of powdered glass is dry, you may easily rub oft the rust from the iron with the cloth thus pre pared. iv rOLOG etic. me last isconsm Farmer contaius the following lead er: "we are one day later than usual in the publication of the Fanner on account of an accident in the fam ily. Said accident is of the male persuasion, and weighs about nine and a half pounds. We think we can safely promise our readers, that this shall not happen again during the present season, at least, and we ex. pect to get out the Farmer promptly with the start we have. The Power Behind the Throne. It will interest many readers, says the Club reporter, to learn that of the vast number of letters received, fully onefourth are unmistakably from the hands of ladies. It seems evident that when the old man takes a notion to write to the Club, he calls his wife, his daughter, or perhaps his daughter in law, to sit down, and he will tell her what to say. Willingly enough she takes her pen, and tells bow to saw wheat, feed stock, or to do any other farm work ; and when she gets through he will often sim his name. Some of these are most beautifully written; there is not a word mis spelled a or comma missing, and they are folded and directed with all the neatness and care with which other letters were dispatched to one most dear. It must be an event of no common importance when one of these letters is finished ; and when it comes back, printed in clear type,im agine how often it is read, and how carefully it is preserved. May those quiet rural homes long be the abodes of happiness and peace. The Enterprise is the best family paper published in Oregon. SPECIAL NOTICES. JUultnomali Lodge Ao. 1, A l & A. M.

In place of a coarse, rustic, flushed face, she had a soft ruby complexion of almost marbie smoothness, and instead of twenty-three she really appeared but eigh teen. Upon inquiry as to the cause of 60 great a change, she plainly told them that she used the Circassian Balm, and considered it an invaluable acquisition to any Lady's toilet. By its use any Lady or Gentleman can improve their personal appearance an hundred fold. It is simple in its combi nation, as Nature herself is simple, yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities from, also healing, cleansing and beautifying the skin and complexion. By its direct action on the cuticle it draws from it all its impurities, kindly healing the same, and leaving the surface as Nature in tended it should be, clear, soft, smooth and beautiful.

All communications sacredly confidentia'. Address in confidence, Madame K. F. Thornton, 1. O. Box 223, Hudson N. Y -2b:ly A Card From Tlie American Watch Company Of Waltham, Mass. rpills COMPASY BEG LEA E lO 1- JL form the public that they com menced operations in 1S50. and their factory now covers four acres of ground, and has cost more than a million dollars, and em ploys over 700 operatives. Tl ey produce 75,000 Watches a year, and make and seil not less than one half of all the watches sold in the United States. The difference between their manufacture and the European, is briefly this : European Vi"atches are made almost entirely !; hand, and the result is of necessity a lack of that uniformity, which is indispensable to correct time-keeping. Both the eye and the hand of the most skillful operative must vary. But it is a fact that, except watches of the higher grades, European watches are the product of the cheapest labor of Switzer land, and the result is the worthless Ancres, Lepines and so called Pat-.nt Levers which soon cost more in attempted repairs, than their original price. Common workmen, bovs and women, buy the rough separate parts of these watches from various facto ries, polish and put tliem together, and take them to the nearest watch merchant, who stamps and engraves them with any name or brand that may be ordered. How American Watches are Made. The American Waltham Watch is made by no such uncertain process and by no such incompetent workmen. All the Com pany's operations, from the reception of the raw materials to the completion of the Watch, are carried on under one roof, and under oue skillful and competent direction. But the great distinguishing feature of their Watches, is the faetlhat their several parts are all made by the finest, tlie most perfect and delicate machinery ever brought to the aid of human industry. Every one of the more than a hundred parts of every watch is made bv a machine that infallibly repro duces every succeeding part with the most unvarying' accuracy. It was only neeessary to make one perfect watch of any particular stvle and then to adjust the hundred man- chines necessary to reproduce every part of that watch, ana it follows that every suc ceeding watch must belike it. Ihe Company respectfully submit their n.n4nl.nn 1 nnip Tlifl- rhliin MiMUiura vt iti w iw nt ""-j ...... to make A Better Article for the Money by their improved mechanical processes than can be made under the old-fashioned handicraft system. They manufacture every grade of watches, from a good, low priced and substantial article in solid silver huntng cases, to the hnest chronometer and also ! ladies' watches in plain gold or the finest en ameled and jeweled cases ; but the indispen sable requisite of all their watches is that they shall be good time keepers. It should be remembered that.except their single low est grade named "Home Watch Company, Boston," all watches made by them are fully warranted by a special certificate, and this warrantee is good at all times against the Company or its agents.
