" GONE "
MARY E. BKADLEV.
The ripe midsummer days are here again,
With nil their splendor ol white-clouueu
skies:
Birds sing, flowers bloom, and fields of yel
lowing grain
Their neauiifiil beautvsm-ead before mv eyes.
Once it was sweet these quiet ways to tread,
Far from the city's toil and dust and heat;
To watch the cloud sail slowly overhead,
To smell the clover blooming at my feet:
Nature to me her strength and calmness lent,
And filled my spirit with uecp content.
Where is it now ? The tender charm is pone,
The virtue vanished from these quiet ways,
Since from my life a presence is withdrawn
That made the sweetness of all nights and
days.
0 loved and lost onel I knew her worth
Above all others, knew not half the woo
Her vacant place would leave upon this earth;
Nor how the aching void would grow and
grow
Within my breast, until both day and mt;ht
Were robbed of rest and emptied of delight.
Sleeping, a vision haunts mo, and I see
Her eyes, her smile; her voice again I hear,
Ah, loving voice, that rang so true to me
Through chance and change of many a
checkered year,
How shall I bear to hear it nevermore
In the lonely years that are to come ?
What peace can Nature bring, what joy re
store, When to my agony that voice is dumb !
Waking with empty arms, I know her dead,
And go my weary ways uncomforted.
Aa others must, alasl Too well I know
Mine is a unit in the mournful throng
Of hearts bereft, that bruised and bleeding go
By stony paths and find tho journey long.
Haply the lesson God would have us learn,
inrnugn gneis mat wnug mw aum, is sym
pathy; Eyes that were apt from others' woes to turn
Through tears, perchance, may come at last
to see.
Teach me, 0 Christ, what Thou would'st have
mo know,
And then where sho has gone may 1, too,
CHOICE KECIPES.
Potato salad is one of the best and most
easily made side dishes for tea. Boil the po
tatoes or steam them with their jackets on.
When they are done remove the skins, and
let the potatoes get entirely cold, then Blice
them in thin slices. Make a dressing of hard
boiled eggs, chopped, a little onion also chop
ped, and aa much salad oil, salt, pepper, pars
ley, etc., as your taste dictates. Be careful
when mixing the dressing with the potatoes
not to break the slices; toss lightly with a
fork, or better still, sbake the dish which holds
them. Line the salad dish with small lettuce
leaves, pour in the salad, and you have an in
viting dish for the table. Serve on small
plates; put one beside each tea plate, and
have the salad dish passed to each person.
Glossed Shirt Bosoms. Tako two ounces of
fine white gum arabic powder, put in a pitch
er and pour on a pint or more of water, and
then having covered it, let it stand all night.
In the morning pour it carefully from the
drees into a clean bottle, cork and keep it for
use. A teaspoonful of this gum water stirred
in a pint of starch made in the usual way, will
give to lawns, white or printed, a look of
newness when nothing else can restore them
after they havo been washed.
Testing the Sex of Ecgs. In selecting epgs
to set, choose the medium sized ones, with
blunt ends, and you will usually get three
pullets to one rooster, aa the eggs with ono
end small and pointed produce the most cock1".
When the hen has set ten days tho eggs
should be tested as to vitality. Hold them up
to the sun, with your hand encircling them,
and all added ones will allow th light to re
flect through them, while the good ones will
appear dark. This often allows the egca of
two hens set at the same time to be put to
gether. Creamed Cabbage. Slice as for cold Blaw
and stew in a covered saucepan till tender;
drain it, return to saucepan, add a gill or more
of rich cream, one ounce of butter, pepper and
salt to taste; let it simmer two or three min'
utes, then serve. Milk may be used by add
ing a little more butter; or have a deep spider
hot, put in the sliced cabbage, pour quickly
over it a pint of boiling water, cover close and
cook for ten minutes, then pour off water, and
add half a pint of rich milk. When the milk
boils, stir in a teaspoon flour moistened with
a little milk; season, cook a moment and
serve.
Evavoratinq WEET cobs is a much
easier process than canning, and will probably
supersede it to a large extent. It is performed
in the Bo-called evaporating machines, some of
which are made so small aa to be conveniently
operated in a kitchen of moderate size, while
the larger ones need only a shed over them.
The corn is first boiled and then removed
from the cob as above dcsiribed. It is then
placed upon the wire gauze trays and exposed
to the currents of heated air which pass
through the machines, and by which the
moisture of the corn is quickly removed. As
one tray is filled it is passed onward and an
other is filled, and so on until the first tray is
brought to the uppermost part of the machine
when the time occupied in the passage has
been sufficient to dry the corn thoroughly. It
is now quite brittle and hard, but in cooling
becomes sofy?r and apparently moist again,
although it is still quite dry. Care is to be
taken not to scorch the corn, or injure its na
tural creamy color. The com can then be
packed in barrels, boxes, or bags for sale, and
generally retails at 18 or 20 cents a pound, and
often more. Evaporating corn and fruits of
various kinds will furnish au agreeable, light,
and profitable employment in many a farmer's
family, and the possibility of doing this work
may very well lead to a mncb larger produc
tion. The cob and stalks will furnish a Urge
quantity of food or cows.

SILK CULTURE.
There are thousands of women who are un
able to labor in shop, field or factory, and
havo no means outside of their household
duties of converting labor into capital.
There are thousands of others, who are
forced to live in idleness, or to go further,
paint bad pictures, write poor sketches, drag
their lives out teaching, or marry uncongenial
husbands for the sake of a living. And there
is a sentiment that it is a species of degreda
tion to a young girl or woman to "go out" and
nork but she will toil at home till her eyes
grow dim.
Silk culture, for all these people, is an easy
money-making employment at home, as it re
quires but a small amount of labor and capital
and is peculiarly adapted to the delicacy of
skill and care, which every woman naturally
possesses.
No special buildings are required, as a room
in the house, attic, stable or shed, (with some
care as to temperature and ventilation) will
do for a cocoonery, and after the mulberry
trees are planted, an ounce or two of silk
worm eggs and a small book of instructions
are all that are needed for a start.
Silk culture does not interfere with domes
tic duties. Neither need the growing of trees
interfere with the growing of vegetables, as
the trimming system keeps the trees so
dwarfed thoy throw but little shade, and will
grow better by cultivating vegetables imme
diately. Use Osage Orange, or tho American White
Mulberry, to begin, as these trees are readily
grown in many parts of the United States;
but plant out a few of the Morus Alba, or
Roxea, Moretti or Japonka at once, and in
crease the number from year to year until you
cm abandon the inferior plants. Use nothing
but tho best eggs, and acquire the best trees
as soon aa you can. xou win neca to Degin :
About 1 oz. eggs, say $4 00
One tray and two frames (as models)
about 125
You can make additional frames and
trays as needed.
Perforated card board for 20 frames,
about 100
Lumber .and nails for racks or Btands
to hold trays, about 75
$7 00
In the lower Southern States three crops
can be raised a season, two in tho upper
Southern States, and one in the Middle, East
ern and Northern States, each crop taking five
to six weeks. Each crop will yield from $200
to 800 for every acre of land planted in mul
berry trees, according to tho care and skill
bestowed.
It has also been demonstrated that silk rais
ing -will absolutely pay better with light labor
than cotton or rice, or sugar or tobacco with
heavy labor.
Years ago silk culture was attempted in
this country, and much money was lost, be
cause there were no mills to consume the silk.
Ni w there are 3S0 silk mills in the United
States. Two-thirds of tho raw silk which they
use is imported, for which thirty-five million
dollars are annually sent abroad. Silk culture
can retain all this money at home, and put it
at once into the pockets of farmers's wives.
There is no reason why the entire demand
of the mills should not be supplied by cocoons
produced here, as tho climate and soil of this
country have been found to bo as well, if not
better adanted to silk culture than either
France or Italy.
Silk culture can be conducted wherever
mulberry trees will grow; and Horu Alba and
Morua Japonica, the hardiest as well as the
best varieties, will grow almost everywhere in
the United States.

A MEETING.
MENELLA IIUTE SMEULEY.
Two that wrecked each other's hope,
Parted coldly in their prime.
Met upon the downward slop?.
Taught by tears and calmed by time,
Under Autumn's perfect trees,
Dropping bright remembrance!.
There they spread their stories out,
race to face ami hand in nana,
Looking back with wistful doubt,
Into tho forgotten land
Whero the wheels of life went fast,
Hardly seen till they were passed.
Looking where the dawn had been
Till each gray and pallid lino
Shivers with a sun unseen
Which must never riso and shine,
And the moment, lost in vain, '
Cornea before their souls again:
Saying softly, "Yes, I think
You were there you came at ten,"
"In your hair was something pink,
How I hate the hue since then 1"
"Hate a hirmless ribbon 1" "Nay,
I havo pardoned it to-day."
"I remember what you said,"
"But you laughed, and I despaired,"
"Did I laugh ? 1 was afraid
You might fancy that I cared."
"Bo content, your pride shall bo
Scathlesa as your heart for me."
"Something in your voice assures
You havo angry feelings yet."
"Something told me then in yours
That you would not quite forget;
Just one foolish moment lit
Hope that laugh extinguished it."
"Sure tho flame was very weak 1"
" 'Twaa your silence, let it die."
'If a man's hope will not speak,
Can a woman's heart reply ?"
"Had I spoken!" "Do I know !
It was very long ago I"
Face to face and liaud in hand,
Looking at those eastern skies,
Is the light along the land
Only borrowed from their eyes ?
Can the song of birds be drawn
From the memory of dawn ?
Lo, the hill, the sea, the plain,
Flushing with familiar rose 1
Look away, and look again,
But the color Btays and grows 1
Wherefore stand amazed and dumb ?
Knew you not that morn must come ?

Sunflowers and Seed.
In popularizing tho Sunflower Oscar Wilde
has rendered one benefit to community.
There is probably no other article more useful
for horse feed than sunflower seed.
When I was a boy my father used to raise
sometimes half and sometimes a whole acre of
this glorious plant, tho stalks often growing
to the' bight of 8 and 10 feet, whh tho disks of
some of the blooms 10 to 12 inches in diam
eter, containing half pound or more of seed.
If carefully saved from 10 to 15 bushels of
seed may be obtained from half acre of sun
flowers, at no more cost per bushel than
wheat.
A half p'nt of seed given to a horse with his
other feed, each morning and night, will keep
him in better health ind more spirited thaa
he will be without it, while his hair will be
brighter.
When a saddle horse is required to be par
ticularly active and sprightly, he may be given
a pint of sunflower seed with his oats at night,
ar.d half as much in the morning, lie will be
found more antic and sprightly, through tho
day, and consequently, be more pleasant to
tho rider. I have seen this course pursued
with horses to make them antic, that were to
go on parade, on occasions of town'and coun
try trainings, in early times; after a little use
horses become very fond of sunflower seed.
Another important consideration, in this
connection, is the matter of health. In low
region, or those liable to malarious effects, the
growing of considerable sunflowers does much
to prevent or modify the evil effects of malari
ous localities, as they are rank, rapid growers,
possessing very large thick leaves, which rap
idly absorb most of the unwholesome vapors
nt ths air. It is advisable to plant consider
able rows or strips of these splendid plant
near the house in the directions of the prevail
inc soring and fall winds. The reaalta will be
decidedly salubrious.
Lynn, Mass., always was a good place for
health, but it has become a modern Uetnes la
since Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, of 233 Western
Avenue, made her great discoyery of the Veg
etable Compound, or panacea or the principal
ills that afflict the fair creation. Uhis diners,
however, from the ancient scene of marvelous
curea in this important particular! The heal
ing agent, with all its virtues, can be sent to
order by express or mail ail over the world.
The few hints that havo been given to our
little correspondents have certainly done good,
f r we see marked progress in the composition
of many letters which havo been lately re
ceived. Aunt Hetty has been away again on
a trip up the Columbia river, partly by steam
boat and partly by tho new railroad, which
latter route gives the traveler a much finer
chance to enjoy the varied scenery on this
most beautiful river. Wo who live here, at
least many of us, do not realize that tho
scenery on tho Columbia is not to bo surpassed
in the United States, and scarcely so in
Europe. A lady whom wo met in traveling
said that she had been in may parts of Eu
rope and had seen little to compare with our
noble river; that the Rhine and Danube,
which we have all read so much about, is not
near so picturesque and beautiful, and only tho
old ruined castles and towns that were to bo
seen there would mako the travel more inter
esting. Sho thought that the grand, rugged
scenery just about The Dalles and at Celilo
was finer than the Giant's Causeway that
many of you havo read about in your geogra
phys. Where in the world can bo found again
such a beautiful picture in nature as can bo
seen on a clear day just where the Willamette
meets the Columbia. Where the two rivers
meet are islands, now covered with beautiful
green foliage, which forms tho foreground,
while rising from the northeast and south
may be seen the peaks of five Bnow-capped
mountains, tho dark hills and blue water be
tween us and their grand proportions; so clear
is the air that it seems but a little way to our
giant old Hood. Then Ranier, with the horso
shoe mark away up on its snowy side. Jef
ferson, Adams and St. Helens, too, are almost
as large, standing out against trjo horizon.
People who are fortunate enough to be able
to travel in foreign countries ought to first see
and know of the beauties of their own coun
try. Eastern people aro beginning to hear of
our grand mountains and noble rivers, and aro
coming here every summer to enjoy the lovely
scenery and beautiful pure air which these
snow mountains give us. Just think of tho
little Kansas and Nebraska boys and girls
who never see a mountain there; how fine it
must be to look at ono after living on those
endless prairies. Yet it may be that thoy
would not think them nice at all, for one is
apt to love the land of their birth. The
Esquimaux, who live so hard and whero it is
so cold, with scarcely any comforts, wonder
how any body could live without raw seal and
walrus meat to cat, and plenty nf fish oil to
drink.
Aunt Hetty happened to visit where there
was one of her little letter writers, who had
a birthday party. She was 9 years old, and
her name is Iva. She wrote thirty nice little
notes to her little boy and girl friends, and
then went all around and delivered them.
She had only one note of regret sent in; all
the rest came at 4 o'clock and stayed till dark.
Many of her little friends brought her gifts
or birthday cards when they came. After
playing nice little games in the parlor, thoy
went out into the grassy yard and had more
games till there was a call for refreshments,
and it did one good to see how the hungry lit
tie folks enjoyed the sandwiches, cake and
fruit passed around. The little girls were all
prettily dressed and behaved sweetly, and the
boys were gentlemanly and polite, and we did
not see any rude actions.
These gatherings make the little ones
happy, and mothers would often gratify the
children if they only thought about it. We
hope this will remind some of the good
mothers, and that we shall bear of many more
parties like tbis.
Our first letter this week is from a little girl
irho never saw apples grow on trees; that to
her would, perhaps, be a nicer sight than a
snow mountain.
Evangeline sends a very good letter, show
ing caie and attention in writing, besides giv
ing interesting information. Aunt Hetty will
be sure to eo to Cheney next summer.
Mahlon and Sarah send each a good letter,
telling how helpful they try to bo. Wo hope
they will keep on writing, and so get a homo
feeling ip the Circle.
Our "Country Girl" writes a letter that it
would be difficult for a city girl to surpass. It
is a pleasuie to Aunt Hetty to see her girls
improving. Tluye is no reason why boys and
girls who live in tho country should not be
ladies and gentlemen; they can just as well
be refined and polished in their manners if
they do have to work where thoy cannot
wear fine clothes all tho time; they can find
time for recreation and improvement if they
chooso to, and can read and cultivate tho
mind. One way to keep up one's self respect
is to pay attention to personal habits. After
a hard day's work wash and dresa up. A
farmer must dresa according to his work, but
there is no need to keep on tho same coarse
boots and soiled shirt after tlje day's work is
done; it refreshes the mind and body to clean
up and change tho dress, beaides giving a feel
ing of self-respect. If young people get into
thia habit it will como easy and natural to
have a pair of slippers haudy to put on aiid a
comfortable suit of clothes hanging near to
wear.

Letter Box is getting empty and needs re

now, and I hope it will continue so until all
the farmers arc through with their harvesting
and storing away their grain. I live on a farm
in the country, which consists of about two
hundicd acres of laud. We had only about
forty-eight acres in grain this year. Wo aro
having our grain cut now; wo will get through
cutting to-morrow. Wo have a twine binder

than hiring men to bind tho grain. I havo
not worked any in tho harvest field thia sum

Indians around where she lives. I am suro I
should not like that, for I am afraid of Indi

more about them, as they havo so many curi
ous ways and live so differently from what wo
do. Indiana seldom come down in our neigh
borhood oxcept in the summer, and then they
come after berries. Several years ago I was
over at Yaquina Bay on a pleasure trip, and I
saw a great many Indiana thero. One that
was there pretended to know a great deal
about fishing, and offered to fix the fish hooks
so that they could catch salmon easily. The
men, thinking ho waa honest, allowed him to
do so, and he fixed the hooks so that they
were not good lor any thing. As some of the

GENERAL NOTES.
Democrat: Wo are told of a quick job in
threshing which takes the lead at the present
writing. Last week Friday and Saturday, M.
Haegy and Lewis Helmick headed and
threshed 1,010 bushels of wheat in two ono
half days, Friday afternoon and Saturday
morninj. Tho averago yield per acre was
about 40 bushels, certainly a big yiold. This
was on the farm of Mr. Wolverton on Soap
creek. Next.
From a single grain of wheat sown on Mr.
McKinnoy's ground, says tho Baker City
Tribune, on the east sido of tho river, prow 73
stalks, each nearly 4 feet in length, and tho
whole containiug 4,380 grains of wheat. It

to tho excessive heat in Eastern cities scaiteiy
