skin, otter, chinchilla, lynx, black mar

and gray krimmer. Seal, otter, mink
and silver fox nte nmong tho most
envied, but sial aud otter are pre
eminent. 1 leaver Iwnlers aro set with

beauty of nil fur ctmsists iu its density;
velvet is certainly rendered richer by the
application of fur on or around it," but
even then iloeM not possess the depth of
softness imparted by natural pile. In
the choice of a sealskin attention should
be niado to tho way the lleeco turns; if
upwind, it opens slightly, and shows in
these natural partings n succession of
rielgo-liku depths a glossy, smooth seal
skin is not elesirable. Quantities of seal
sohl in Paris nro full of seams on tho
wrong side, and as tho fur wears off iu
the seams those furs should be avoided.
Shetland seal is tho most expensive : it
is rare. The others, from Alaska, are
stronger nnd more attainable. As we
have machtne-mailo lace, so havo wo
spurious fur, anil this cannot be other
wise when it is fasluonablo to trim all
sorts of cloth with fur bands. The
sliades chosen form a contrast, such as
beaver or otter on drab, sable on ruby,
ettuino on blue. All bands aro lued as
borders, but instead of several narrow, a
single wide one is preferred. Tito long
coat is tho popular cut for winter cloak
iugs, but looo jackets aro made entirely
of weal. Seal is also used for outdoor
cajis and hats, bonnets and deep collars,
rovers, culls aud pockets, lu millinery,
sealskin is trimmed with ostiich; also
with real birds and binis made of seal of
u lighter shade, SlinwI-fdiaped caps of
otter aro sold iu beta, eouipleted by n
muff and cutis. Haw and until' also

OREGON AND CALIFORNIA..
Oregon wheat makes stronger tlour,
and better Hour fitted for bakers' uso
than that made from Cnlifnniiu wheat.
Tho difference is iu the soil that pro
duces the-wheat. Something, perhaps,!
iu tho fact tlut Oregon wheat leaves lcssl
weight of bran in grinding nnd yields
mora tlour to the. bushel, but it is also
true that San Francisco bakers offer a
regular market for Oregon Hour, and
that from Salem mill has always been a
a favorito brand. Theso mills frequently
ship flourdirect toKngland, and English
bakers mix it with English wheat onac
count of its strength and capacity to make
light liread. Thu wheat from some parts
of the Willainotto valley has more
strength than from others, and there is
again it differenco iu tho variety of grain.
tlowcll Frame, Marion county, raise.
wheat that is of prime excellence. All
of tho middlo portions of the Willamette!
valloy raise very choico wheat, whilo tliat
from tho heael of tho valley is said tot
possess less strength and not bo of quite
such excellence, as that raised north of
them. Walla Walla wheat does not.pos
sesslho same excellence as that of the
tho Willamette, though it is fully equal
to that .of California. The quality of
wheat raiseel iu Oregon last vear was
generally buperior. Tho amount of
yiohl was considerably below thevrjjJ.
age, but the quality was all right. IhsV
character of Oregon seasons enables th
wheat plant to grow more steadily, ripet
more gradually and perfectly mature, m
a rule, and wheat grown under such cir
cumstances contains all the excellent
thei soil can bestow. Our Spring wheal
is far moro valuable than the Spung
wheat of Iowa or Minnesota, as wheasl
quotations show. What we say of Sa
lorn Mills is doubtless true of all ou:
best mills, but we happen to have a
hand to-day information from that source!
and not from any other. Oregon wheat
is therefore worth more nnd brings wore
in England than California wheat. Or
ders received from Liverpool for wheal
just shipped, or ready to bo shipjfcd fron
California aro not a fair index of whn
Oregon wheat is worth, for Oregon wheal
rates ouo shilling to ono and sixpence
higher, and Oregon producers are enti
tied to know what standing thei
ducts have in the world's markets.
