To the lover of nature, a lido over tbo mountains of the Coast Range and throuKb the canyons from the head waters of tbe Coquille, down through Brewster Valley and the surrounding country, affords a constantly varying panorama of its wildest aud most pict uresque scenes. From our starting oint a drive or about five or six miles brings us to tho foot of tbo rugged Coast Mango and then begins the weary climb, up and still up. Relieving our loaded wagon of its human freight, we allow it to precede us, while we toil leisurely after it on foot, pausing every now and then to get a glimpse through some opening among tho trees, of the beautiful fertile valley below us, yellow with the ripening grain whicn we passed tbrougu ltore we began our upward march, and so near do they seem that though wo have traveled several miles, we are scarcely surprised to bo told that we haye been describing a horse-shoe and are not more than one-fourth the distance we have gone over, from the fields we left behind us so long ago. This peculiarity of mountain roads, of traveling so far to accomplish a short distance is somewhat porrling to those who are used to the straight, direct, routes of more level countries. Jnst over the top of tho mountains is a series of springs that form the head' waters of tne Coquille, and here we all stopped to refresh ourselves with a drink of the pure, sweet, ice cold spring water that flows as clear as crystal from its birthplace among the monntains. And now wc begin to wind downward follow ing the side of tbe mountain over roads rough and rocky, with precipices looming far above cs on one hand, while on the other, sometimes at our very feet, and sometimes many hundred feet below us, making the nervous among us shudder with apprehension, as we creep along the narrow road, tbe silvery clear waters of the Coquille leap and rush an-1 roar over their boulder strewn bed, now breaking into a thcusand mimic cascades, now leaping in a picturesque waterfall over a sheer descent of a hundred feet, now flowing smootL, calm and dear, forming one cf the liveliest of mountain streams, as anyone will surely believe who has followed it from where it begins, a mere rill, through its many tortuous windings, until, before it flows into the sea, it widens ont into a safe, calm, harbor for large ships. All along the road the wild raspberries, salmon ber ries and thimble berries were ripening in the sun, the wild foxglove was swinging its dainty bells of pink, white and par pie, and under the rocks great patches of the exquisite maidenhair fern were sway ing their feathery fronds in a way to make an enthusiast go wild with delight, while many other varieties dear to the heart cf the fern lover, grew in abundance all around us. At nocn we camp for dinner at a place called the "old toll house." But little remains, however, of the toll bouse ex cept a few stones that once might hare formed its chimney, and while the ladies prepare the dinner, oar -fishermen angle for tbe finny tribe with such success that in a very short time a goodly quantity ot the delicious mountain tt out arc ready for the frying pan. After dinner we rounded Cape Horn, a proceeding which if cot attended to by a; much danger as rounding the original Cape Horn by water, is enfilriently spiced with difficulties in the way of no roads to speak of, and boulders of such sixe that as tbe wagon dropped over each one, we expected momentarily to see it go in pieces. However, we passed tbe "Rubicon" with but a slight accident which a piece of rope sufficiently repaired, and were soon rolling through the lower canyon, stopping now and then to admire a mini ature waterfall or pictuersque bit of scenery, or to let our fijhermen try their lack in the ripples or the still, deep pools where the shy trout love to hide them selves. Toward evening on suddenly rounding a curve we saw spread out before us the beautiful panorama of Brewster Valley and shortly afterward reached the half way house, and Si'.knm postoffice, kept by Mr. Jas. Laird. We stopped at Mr. Laird's to get some bay for cur horses, and while it was be ing loaded, we strolled through his well kept garden, ate berries and admired the flowers. Our attention was especially drawn to a large bed of carnatiors, great, doable fringed beauties of every hue and tint known to that beautiful and fragrant flower, and when we w en t away we car ried a generous bandfal of the eweet smelling blossoms. e reacueu me nrat stage ot our journey and camped just before dark in a myrtle grove beside Brummett Creek, a peaceful looking stream, now carrying a few inches of water, but which at cer tain seasons of the year becomes a rush ing torrent, coming out of its banks and covering tbo whole country until it IookB like a small ltke. Here we camped for three or four days and our fishermen again tried their luck with remarkable enccees, bringing in at a single catch one hundred and beventy-tbree fish of all sizes, from eix inches to fifteen. , Though there are no doubt many va rieties of tbe speckled beauties, we make special mention of four distinct species. The first being tbe common mountain trout speckled all overwith dark spots, The second, having minute, almott in visibit scalee, is spotted on top and sil very white below. The third and fourth variery have short, rounded heads in stead of pointed ones, and while one liaB red finu and n red stripe down each side, tbe other has a row of beautiful, orange red spots on the Hides that contrast finely wih the darker eurroumling ones. Tho laet are known to fishermen by the lather famalu! name of "L'olly Vutdou." From Biummett creek we moved on over the mountains and through tho mount ains aud though tho canyons, six miles further, where wo again camped under the shade of an enormous uiaplo tree, there to enjoy for a few days more tho dolco far niento" of camp life, leading, dreaming, or roamiug from ono point of intorcst to auother. From this point we took a short ex ploring trip aB far as tho ixstoliice called Dora, which is situatod in n beautiful littlo valley, whore, on every hand wo saw the reapers buB.v with tho ripened giain. While on the road wo had tho good fortune to eeo a largo deer with lino branching antler , standing iu tho road before us. Instead of bim ileeing, as wo expected Lim to do, he turned and came directly toward us, (ha must have known there were no guns in the party,) until he reached a oint about fifty yards, in front of us, when he stopped and after a deliberate Burvey of our out fit, took to tho woods. A few days more of delightful out-door life which we would fain havo prolonged, but duty recalled us, aud we turned our faces homeward, strengthened and re freshed for our future duties whii:h will be sweetened by daily memories of the delightful trip which we hope, in tho not far distant future, to repeat.

Wo nil know jnst what ndorablo crea tures nil grandmothers are, nnd how they cannot do enough for tho littlo ones belonging to their sons and daugh ters. Now, without wishing to nppear ungrateful for thc&o attentions, thcro nro somo mothers who think themselves qnito capablo of caring for thoir own babies, and tho continual aud persistent contrary opinion of grandma becomes after a, tiuii vexatious rather than help ful. Even though grandma has brought up a dozen children, and this is her daugh ter's very first experience in that line, it is just as well not to givo ovcrliberal doses of advice, nor is it good policy to empty ont tho medicine tho doctor pro scribes for baby's cough and substituto simp of squills, becauso sirup of squills was all that tho youngsters of auother generation were dosed with. The latter medicine may be regarded by grandma ns tho moat perfect cough remedy in existence, but tho prescribed drops or pellets may bo quite as effect ive, and it is but natural that tho young mother ana tuo puysicinu in charge should feci n bit annoyed at tho assumption of superior knowledge, how ever well founded it may be. Babies need as varied treatment ns plants da What may havo answered splendidly for grandma's dozen might prove qnito tho reverse of beneficial for tho fin do sieclo youngster, and oven though a baby is a novelty to the young mother nature will bo her best teachor as to Its wants and cares. Grandma must remember that sho had to be initi ated in her superior baby training be fore sho could poso as an oracle, and wonld sho havo been pleased to have had hex authority wrenched from her by a wiser somebody who scorned her methods and ridiculed her lack of wis dom? When tbo young mother asks for ad vice, it is timo enough to givo it to her. Sho is certain to do so and will appre ciate most kindly tho valuable hints tho more experienced mother can give her, but her feelings will bo quite the re verse if ndvico is thrust upon her and tho caro of her own precious baby taken peremptorily ont of her hands. Louis ville Post. IToir tbe Money Goe. It is unsafo to allow any ordinary wo man to enter a tiara witli money. She has such a craving for luxuries, such a contempt for mere necessities, that she almost invariably purchases the former and is constantly in need of the latter. Sho goes forth to purchase an opera bon net because sho is going to the opera that very night, but her eye is canght by a tea gown, a bargain tea gown, and she buys it That night somo man seated behind a Gainesborough with many plumes swears. Sho goes out to buy a jacket, needing one sorely, but her er ratic fancy is caught by lace trimmed underwear, and bofoio she realizes it sho is reveling in new nightgowns and corset covers. She ha ven been known to go out to buy wr -ing paper and to return with nothing but a blue awl whito cup and saucer. Philadelphia Times. Smoked Clgar-tlc Thirty Year. "Peoplo talk about cigarettes being unhealtiiful, but tho fact that I am still alive is proof to tho contrary," said a middle aged man. "I began smoking them SO years ago, before they were made in this part of the country and when few were imported. It is a far cry to the timo when there wero no Ameri can cigarettes, and I feel old when I look back to it. I ought to add that I havo never inhaled tho smoke of ciga rettes, which perhaps accounts for their not killing mo long ago. I may also add. in strict confidence, that tbo reason I havo Emofced cigarettes is that cigars and pipes mako mo sick. " New York Sun. So lie Illil.
