Through flickering leave the tunlliht '.ftlng Fall" warmly across the tidy floor; The distant voices of Rloeful children Come fill tly In at the open door Th dock's low rhyhthra defines the stillness; The house Is renting from work well done; I T.ie weary housewife, with patient flngtrs, Knits 'mid the quiet so hardly won. She ponders the day's completed labors, Finished e Imes, ere the Sabhath rest; The ililntlcs stored In the well-filled pantry, The mended garments, the welcou cd guest. The toll-worn flngo-s move slow and slower, Her head droops forward, her eyes full soon Close In gentle anl childlike slumber, And she dreams In the aturday afternoon. She wanders with tireless feet of childhood Through madows he knew so well of yore, An 1 1 luuhs s she fl'n her tlnj apron With blo'soms fragrant, in boundless store. Forn i Ions- vanished step In at the doorway; Sw' et voices ting a forgotten tone; Ang Is ascend and descend before her, As she rests In the Saturday afternoon. The fading sun sinks under the hill tops, The hvlow lengthens acro-s the fl jor; The birds chirp s ttly their good-night carol, Thochddren pause at the dirk'nlng door; The tired sleeper no more they waken, Pal In thi rays of the harvest m on; She wsits the da- n of an endless Sabbath, Oono home In the Saturday afternoon. Christian Union. MANUAL LABOR WITH SCHOOLS. Some Eastern papers are advocating tho plan of devoting a little of school time to manual training. The Springfield Republican says that in the D wight Grammar School, of Boston, last winter, boys were given les sons of two hours each day in the practical use of carpenter's too's, and that the plan showed marked success. All the boys showed great interest in the work, also retaining the ri quired standard in their lessons. The change from the school-room was decidedly beneficial. The expenses of this instruction were paid by an association seeking to pro mote this form of education. An industrial school is Bourishing at St. Louis, also in Worcester and Boston, Mass. In Sweden basket makintr is taught in schools, and in Switzerland wood carving is encouraged in all the schools. It is better for the best develop ment of children that their fingers as well as their minds be employed while growing up. Most American parents think that every child must go through a certain routine of schooling, lastingtill maturity, and embracing those earlier, aud best years of youth, when the hands ought to be educated iuto skillful manipulation. The young mind is active, and the surplus life and energy will be spent in mischief if not led off into better things. Children are not apt to be lazy. It is only after years of idle school-room lifo that they begin to shirk labor. Observation Ins shown us that very many boys who have had school ing till early manhood begin to look upon a trade" as a letting down in the social scale, und then prepares himself for some profes-ion, makintr out in the end a poor lawyer or second- mt doctor, striiffffline with poverty, when a sensible parent should have encouraged the learning of a pood trade. There is every in ducement to learn trades now, for there seems to be a demand for skilled labor ot all kinds at high wages. This matter of industrial edu cation is an important one, and there is an in terest being taken by manufacturers in New England that promises good results. The future prosperity of our country depends much upon the skill with which we manufac tare our finer goods. It is said that the girls in an Eastern school are desirous of havine the advantage of this manual training also. It is difficult, we will concede now for a youth to find an opportunity where there are trades unions, whose aims are to keep wages up and lessen, as far as they can, the number of arti sans. These organizations are not so much in force here in Oregon as they are in Eastern star... Mnv voune men fit themselves the oretically for a business life at schools, and often find the knowledge they heve is practi cally of little use. One young man we know of went through a business college fairly well, and yet when put to real work could not keep a set of books without blunders and errors. School and work ought to go hand in hand. OUR BOOK TABLE. There comes to us a new magazine, called The Modern Age, it is a work that is pub lished in Buffalo at $1.60 a year. It contains the usual variety found in literary magazines. The selections are excellent and much origi nal matter is found too, between the covers. Tt eertainlv is verv cheap as well as good, The Century comes as regularly as the month comes around and is one of the antici pated pleasures, which never fails realization. This magazine Is fast gaining friends and bids fair to take the lead among our monthly issues. The names of W. D. Howells, Stod dard, Francis Burnett and others tell of its strength and character. The series of papers about the Zuni people, by Frank II. Cushing, who ha been living with that people, is valu able as well as interesting. A fins description of the North Pacific coast is well got up, showing an intimate knowledge of our part of the country. Topics of the times gives a good idea of the doings of the day. Every table should claim a copy of The Century as a monthly visitor. Tub worst enemy to progress in the woman nffraire movement seems to be the indiffer ence or timidity of women themielves. Those fitted by intelligence and position to take the lead prefer to hold back and devote th-dr en ergies to church and charities, or to the nar row round of domestic duties, beyond which they seem afraid to stir or even h-ok. It is discouraging to see so many excellent women blessed wit1! pUnty of time, money and brains, content with trifle, when so much grand work is waiting to be done, and in the doing of it they would find the genuine cul ture, happiness and success, which so en nobles life. "Railroad work is progressing nicely at Bine fountains st.ti m. and carpenters Sged constructing a turn table at the Blue ountain station Jor a broad gauge roed. CHOICE RECEIPES. Graham Gems. One quart of milk, two even cups of graham flour. Beat together, so as to be smooth and free from lumps; then turn in well buttered and very hot "gem irons." Bake in a quick oven. Made in this way they are very light and sweet, needing no salt or soda. If made anv stiffer they will not be light. No. 2. Drop two eggs without beating into quart of milk, half teaspoonful of salt, and one and a half tablespmnfuls of butter, melted Beat into this enough of graham flour to make it as stiff as griddle caUes. Urop into not aim well greased gem-pans. Bake immediately in a hot oven. If the arnica with which bruised limbs are bathed is heated, its good effects are percepti ble much earlier than if iUs applied while cold. If arnica is to be taken as a remedy, as so many phy ichns recommend ia cases of se vere sprains, it should be prepared with water in this proportion a teaspoonful of arnica in a goblet two-thirds full of water, and of this a teapoonful is to be taken onco an hour or once in two hours, as the severity of the case determines. Demciobs peach ice cream is made by rub bing through a sievo one dozen whole canned peaches, or what is equal to that number, and six ounces of white sugar; and one pint and a half of sweet cream should then be mixed with the pulp. After a thorough beating freeze it as you do common ice cream. If you wish to make the fancy complete and have the frvim a neaeh color, a few drons of cochineal can be useil; or if you object to that, the cream may be colored with the juice of the red raspberry. When "doctors disagree" and as theopin ions of no two nurses agree as to whether it is Bafe or not to quiet the baby's colic with pep permint or with the mild and fragrant anise -it is cheering to be tuld that a little warm wa ter, with nothing in it, will do the work as effectively, and with no danger of injury to tho stomach of the smallest child. A small bag containing some hops will, if heated and applied to the stomach, give relief. Do not wet the ho-s, for the dry heat is just as effica cious and much less inconvenient. A reliaiile and satisfactory recipe for Mayonnaise sauce, or salad dressing, is hero given: Rub the yolks of two r w eggs to a smooth paste, with a half a teaspoonful of ta ble salt, half a saltspoouf ul of cayenne pepper, a saltspoonful of dry mustard, and a teaspoon ful of oil, or a teaspoonful and a half of melti d butter. To this, when rendy to serve the sa'ad on which it is to be used, add viuegar and a little more oil. or in nlace of vinegar, ue strained lemon juice; for ordinary purposes good vinegar is just as satisfactory, anl is, of course, mucn more economical. I saw an old fashioned, high-backed, cane seated chair, covered in serviceable fashion, the other dav. A sort of bag was made which exactly fitted over the chair. It was securely- fastened at the bottom, the edges being turned in and sewed "over and over." The covering was of Canton flannel of old gold color, and inserted in it were two stripes of cretonne. The cretonne had a black ground work, with gav birds and flowers on it. For anything so .,u ,! on enailv made thi; chair covering was very effective, red-eming as it did an old and much used chair from positive ugliness. Rvuktiv mm Diarkikea. A strong tea is made of the r ot of the blackberry. Tn 'Remove a Wart. Rub sal-ammoniac on the wart twice a day until it disappear. Isflamed Gums. A drop or two of cam phorated spirit, rubbed on the gums, will al lay inflammation. To Core a Sprain'. Make pounded resin into a paste with fresh butter; lay it on the sprained part and bind it up. Wash to Remove Scurf from the Head. Half a pint of rose water, and one ounce of spirits, mixed together. Part the hair as much as possible, and apply the mixture with a piece of flannel. Charcoal for Offensive Breath. The best treatment in regard to offensive breath is the use of powdered charcoal, two or three taDiespoomuis per , iu bi .. before retiring for the night. Tviniiv PnnmKfl. Add to one quart of joij $hf $hiMreih THE DARING MICE. Some mice in council met one night And vowed by this and that That they would arm themselves for fight And brave the tyrant cat. Said they ! "Why longer fear her power! 'Tis time our strength to try, We'll hang her by the neck this hour, Or in the effort die 1 " Two pistols and a carving knife, A rifle and a rope, Were instruments of war enough To justify their hope. So with the raptain in the front, The hangman in the rear, They started out to look for puss Without a thought of fear. Through silent halls and broken walls With cautious step and slow, And furtive glances right and left, From room to room they go. Now pausing by a nook or sill, Where trouble might be found, Nuw crowding close and closer still, At every trifling sound. But when before an open door, The cat appeared in sight, The very instruments they bore Seemed paralyzed with fright. The captain shrinking in the van, The hangman crouched behind, The pistol-shot and rifleman Had but a single mind. In doubt and dread thev turned and fled, And lucky mice wtre they To tin 1 a hole su largo that all At once could run away. OUR LETTER BOX. We have only a few letters, but enough to keep readers interested. We were hoping that winter weather would set our young folks to thinking and then to writing about their thoughts. Johnny J. coms with .a good long letter from Pilot Rock. Those cougirs are mis chievous fellows; their skins are handsome. We have one that we use on a large rocking chair; it makes the old chair look quite handsomo. The long tail retches to the floor as the skin is thrown over the back of tho chair, and we think it is about the nicest chair we have, too. That bald eagle that John speaks of must havo been a splendid bird. and we hope he was thoughtful enough to send it to Mr. 0. B. Johnson at the Stato House in Salem, or to some other texidermist, who would have stuffed it, and so been an ornament to our State capitol, it being the bird of our national banner. We hope that if any of our young f lka get or find any other such raro or curious bird that they will write to Mr. Johnson and tell him, if we do not send, for we all ought to be interestsd in gath ering curiosities for that room in our State House that is now devoted to stuffed animals, petrifactus, shells, etc. These eagles are rare now, and soon we will see no more oi mem, We hope John will write again soon. Lizzie writes a very nice lettor, which shows that care has been taken to do the best possible in both writing and composition. It is nicely commenced, in the proper way, with date and all correctly done. She is one of our model girls I know, for she has pieced two quilts already. Minnie writes her very first letter, and it is well done, too, though it is rather too short. r, mint write acain and trv to make the next one longer. A most encouraging and cheerful letter from Sister Powell is on hand. There ero many more of our lady friends who might send in a word to help the young folks along. It does us all good to hear of a live grange, and the social meetings of neighbors that the grange calls out. One always feels better able to take up the evening life cheerfully after a good visit among the frienc's in grange. Some .v It will seem as if there were something Imy school teacher, cousin James Gibson and brother William. They killed a cougar; it was a monster; it measured nine feet from tip to tip. Brother Samuel killed another one a few days afterwards. It was as large as the other one that the boys killed. 1 tell you I would not like to have met him alone. I can see just as well a little way off. We are having pretty cold weather We have to feed our sheep twice a day. We have two flocks. 0 ves. I must tell you about the large bald eagle my brother killed and sent to us the other dav. It weighed ten pounds, and meas ured from tip to tip of wings seven and a half feet. It was a beauty. Aunt Hetty, before I sent my letter off we received a Farmer, and in it was a letter for me from one of my schoolmates,, Johnny Houck. Johnny, I waa pleased to hear from you. I think you havo selected a beautiful place fir your new school house. It almost makes me home sick to go back tj Webfoot when I think of the nice times we had at school. I wish George suc cess at school, for there is nothing so nice as a good education; it is better than riches, for what we put in our heads cannot bo taken away from us. Sister Lizzie is at The Dalles going to school at. tho academy. She his been gone Bince the 8th of October, and sho will not come home till tho latter part of April. I do congratulate you and sister Lelia having such a prize as a little sister, as I think their ways are so pretty, and I guess you think bo t", I know I would if I had one. I havo three little neices, and they are pretty aud sweet. I was sorry to hear of tho death of Austin ono of my littlo friends, and the only son of J. B. Welk; he died of measles; ho was a sweet bud plucked in youth, but he is sweetly sleeping in Jesus' arms. It is true we all must die. It must close, with love to all. Success to the Farmer.

How these anecotes of hersolf and her neighbors, by garrulous Mrs. Kitsap camo in to my possession is not my intention to dis close. Suffice to say that tho chief actors in her rambling narrative are scattered far and wide. Some are dead, somo have made homes in other States. The old lady herself, with Al sinus, sleeps peacefully in the little graveyard at tlie Bend. Luellinci. Lake County. A correspondent of t!ie Dalles Timet says of this county, lying south of Wasco county ; I was fifteen days making the trip to this place. It stormed oveiy day, but am now in comfortable quarters, though not permanently settled. The family are highly pleased with tho country and willing to make it their home in the future. Gcose lake is a beautiful sheet of wato-, 40 miles long by about 25 wide. This is sur rounded by a fin, rich farming country that far surpasses my expectation, coursed through with beautiful mountain streams, full of the finest quality of the finny tribe. Game of all kinds abounds, and ie is truly a paradise for sportsmen. There are somo of the finest natural meadows I ever beheld, and one can cut a swatho of grass ten miles long.

There is now at work an interesting minia ture railway five miles in length which unites the village of Westerstede in East Frisia with the station of Ocholt, on the Og denburg and Seer line. It is solely due to the enterprise of the thinly-scattered population of the district, and carries their cattle and other produce to market, I ringing them lack their few requirements. The soil is marshy, so that a good deal of drainage work had to be dono, and it was necessary to carry the line above the level of the frequent floods. In spite of this the cost of c nstruction was only 2,103 7s. 6d. per mile, and the cost of working (including wages, fuel and every ex nense) amounts to th magnificent total of 1 7s. Od. per diem The buildings consst of a shed at each end of the line; the termi nns is the courtyard of the principal inn at Westerstede, and the single station hall way along the line is the house of a gentleman, who hosnitably entertains tbe psssengera while they are waiting for the train.

As I was a washin' my dinner dishes yistcr day, with my back to the door, I heerd somo ono comin' along kind of humble like, and ses I to myself: "That's Mis' Junkin now; no one else but a cat walks that-a-way, And sure enough, she come in with her sun bonnet flappin' around her face, in a very mournful an' subdued way. She's an awful subdued won.an an' somo way, all her clothes havo a draggled and sub dued look, too, and that day she looked mournfuller than ever. After she Bed, "Good day," an' I scd, "Howdy, do take off ycr thiugs," an' she'd set down, ses I : "Well, how goes things over to your house, purty chirk these times J" An' ses she, very low spirited like: "Oh, no, Mis' Kitsap, it doea seem ez tho' the end uv tho world wuz a comin'." "Fur the land's Bake, Mis' Junkin," ses I, "what be you a talkin' about, hes eunybody died er ennythiu'?" "Nu; ses she. "but I'll tell you," an' her voice wuz real solemn; "you see last night 1 wuz late doin' up my work, an' as I run out the kitchen door to throw out my dish watiT, little Tim ho stood in the door an' all to ouct, ses he, Law ma, what's that, an' I looked up an' see euthin' big an' white acttlin' down on the vard fence, an I made tracks fer the house 1 kin tell you. We didn't, none of us, dare to go out in tho yard agin that night; but we could see it a settin' there on the fence, an' I mistrust it's the sign In a deth." An' she hove a awful sigh. "I guess 'twas suthin' hangin' onto the fence,'" sed I, coolly, but I did feel a leetle scairt. "No, 'twa'n't, there wa n't nothin' on the fence but a sheepikin. an' i don't reckon a sheepskin's a goin' to fly around that-a-way, is it ?' sed she, rale anappiali. "Well, no," scd I, but I wuz ruther juber nun in mv mind that it wuz the sheepskin things look wavery and uncertain like afttr night, an' peop e kin imigine 'mot anything'. I know timo an' time agin: when I ve ben out after dark, I'd think I heerd foo'stcps right bjhind me, an the faster 1 went me faster they'd come after me, tell I wuz eena most scairt to death; an' the maier 1 got to the house, the louder them steps was tell I'd fairly jump inside an' slam the clcor, an' be es weak ea a cat, an' I know Jane Walker; she sed she hed felt the same way, an' I b'licve every woman in the United Stutes feels the same way, 'less it's some if them foruigns, swedes er surnthin' that can't talk englmh, but I am a forgtttin' Mis' Junkin; an' as my dishwater hed got cold while I wuz a lisleuin' to her, I jest put some more on to heat au' set down to lest a spell.
