THE OREGON SCOUTJ A CHANCEY, Publishers UNION, OREGON. POLITICAL PRISONERS. Tfc Many Uiiutnat Llbcrtle unci Ffcvorf Thry Knjoy In France, In France, during tho empire and vow during the republic, political pris- ocrs onjoy special and separate treat- 'jnont- At 1'aria thoy are generally con fmcd in tho Sto. Pelagic prison. Here thoy occupy a wing apart from tho rest of tho jail, which is known as the Pavilion des Princes. It is a common Baying that tho Pavilion des Princes is tho first stage on tho road to a seat In tho cabinet; and certainly, 1 should say. tho mnjorlty of French ministers of ntato have at soma timo or nnothor been imprisoned at Sto. Pclagio. Sorao few years ago I went to sec M. Paul Lafnrguo. who was thon confined in this prison under a sentence of six snoaths. Ho had boon guilty of some revolutionary speech, or had written a "violent newspaper article. The prison fcero tho usual somber and threatening aspect. There were sentinels pacing up and down with bayonets fixed to their guns and jailers with great fcunchos of koys. After passing a lone number of windows I was at Jaet introduced into a lnrge, lofty room. The first object that attracted asy attention woro a number of dolls, tin soldiers, and other toys that lay Btrowcd on tho floor. Thon I noted a Tory handsome carved oak writing ta ble with a comfortable arm chuir. Tho table was covered with books and man uscripts. On tho wall close by woro numerous charts Illustrating tho fluc tuations in tho price of grain in dlffor ent countries. "Yes," remarked M. L&farguc, noticing my look of aston ishment. "1 nm studying tho price of bread stuffs aud all tho social problems involved in tho corn trade. It is a very important subject, and I hope to treat it in a series of articles." "But surely," iTojolnod, "tho prison authorities do netBupply carved oak writing tobies?" At this remark M. Lafurguo fairly iaughod. Tho prison furniture, ho ex plained, was of tho most modest char acter. A plain, but comfortablo bed, with spring mattress, tho simplest of tables, chairs aud washstandH. Hut, lien. If a person was not satisfied ho oould always havo his furniture brought to him from his own house, Mid could thuscontlnuo his studios and .his work with considorablo comfort. At this moment sounds of laughter were heard on the stairs, and two or throe persons enmo bouncing in tho room with loud oxulamatlns. Those woro othor prisoners, all sentenced for omo political offense. Thoy woro quite free to go into each other s rooms, 4tfjd inudo a merry timo of it. But thin is not tho only sooloty tho prisoners onjoy. Thoro Is hardly ny restriction placod on tho visits they rocelvo from tho outside. M. Lmfarguo hiul his wife and children 4 call on him every day, and it was children's toys I noticed oti tho Uootj Thus, in common with the othor yoliUcal prisoners, ho was able to Holoct what company, what books, trout furniture suited him host. In respect to food, if tho prison allowance una not to his taste, he could sond out for any delicacy ho might fancy. Thon there woro prisoners, common lnw offenders, who, as a reward for excep tionally good bohavlor, woro allowed to go and offer their services to tho political prisoners, to help to clean their rooms, cool? tholr dinners, etc. Even all these indulgences, I was sub. wquently told, did not satisfy M. Lmfarguo. Ho found the dally exer cise in the prison yard too monotonous, wad therefore poiltioued the (iovornor of tho prison to grant him some va riety; and nothing but the boulevards, whh lis trees, Its throngs of gay, well--dressed people, and Its brilliant cafes, oould satisfy him. Consequently tho rovornor of tho prison ordorod two jailers to put on civilian clothes and eoompany M. Lafarguo for a two hours' stroll on tho boulovards. Fol lowed by his two guardians M. Lufnr--rue, 1 was told, wont to his favorite cafe, drank an abuintho with his -friends, and thou walked quietly back to prison. Needless to &ay that when tau six months' Imprisonment woro over M. Lafarguo did not feel any the worco for tho persecution he had endured. This did not prevent his eUiiniug tho honors of political luur- .tvrdom. - Purls Cor.

"TheHorna Must Oo "-Compost Heap The Pasture Feeding for Fat or Lean Alr-Slaclced Lime. All tho rakings, Bod grasa and refuee of the farm can lc used as a foundation for a compost heap. If you have a rough road across the (arm where heavy loads are moved, make it smooth before you use it again. Air-slacked lime dusted over the ground around young trees serves as a partial protection against somu kiuds of insects. One stone six inches high in a wheel track causes more wear of team and car riage than an additional lialf milo of smooth road. The fact that systematic men do so much work with bo little effort is largely duo to their keeping their implements of laoor in order. Keep an eye on the future shape of the tree, and timely remove small, needless, : 1 1 I m III 1 urueiaiiig or crooKeu umos. lnia win ou viate heavy pruning in after years. Haaff has discovered a chemical de- horner. 'If used on the call it kills tho horn completely without leaving a scar. Several years ago Mr. Haaff piped up in n. fllirill f'ilflnttv "Tim lirirna tnriat im " He was joined by a few, then by hun dreds, until tho grand chorus swept from ocean to ocean. Now ho starts another refrain, "Tho saw must go." To havo pasture well stocked with gross tno pasture snouid be divided into two sections, wuicn allows tno graas to grow in one wnile the cattle are grazing on the other. When grass is kept too close, and constantly trampled by the animals, it is liable to bo killed snouid a drought come. By alternating stock on pasturesjthe gTass will grow better and tho animals secure more food with less labor. As the hens can find a large Bhare of their food at this season they must be fed very sparingly, or they will not lay. This season grass has been plentiful in some quarters, and it makes excellent food for poultry, either for those on the range or that aro confined, only that, in the case of fowls confined in yards, the grass should bo chopped into short lenirths be- foro being fed to tho hens. To Cook Tough Beef. Season a thick steak with pepper and salt and fry slowly in a little lard, turn it often so that both sides aro cooked alike, when well brown ed add a small quantity of water, hulf a a sliced onion, somo minced parsley and thyme, thicken with a spoonful of flour, cover close and leave for an hour on tho back of tho btove, where it may simmer slowly, then add a pound can of tomatoes, then let it cook until tho moat is ready to fall to pieces. Biscuit. One quart of sweet cream or milk, one and a half cups of butter or fresh lard, two tablespoonfuls white sugar, one good teaspoonful of salt ; add flour enough to make a stiff dough, knead well and mould into neat, small biscuits with the hands, as our grandmothers used to do ; add one teasoonful of cream tartar, if preferred. Bako well and you have good, sweet biscuit that will keep for weeks in a dry place, and are very nice for a traveling lunch. Good Bread. Save the water in which you boil your potatoes for dinner, mash two "or three good sized pota toes and put in the water; when it is cooled a little put in a yeast cake. Let stand until night, then add enough hot water to muke it of the required warmth, set in sponge over night and cover so it will keep warm. In the morning beat the BK)ngo until smooth and knead for half an hour, or longer if you havo the time. Let rise and put in loaves, bake one hour in a moderate oven. Dressed Eggs. Boil six eggs hard, cut in halves take out the yolks aud with them mix thoroughly the following: A little Bugar, salt, mustard, pepper and enough vinegar to make damp enough to again form into bulls same shape as be toro and replace one of these in each half of the eggs. These placed evenly on a dish and garnished with parsley make u nice dish for lunch or tea. This is esHH! ially palatable for the warm evenings which aro about upon us. Cottage Cheese. Set the clabbered milk in the oven, leaving the door open ; turn it round frequently and cut tho curd in squares, stirring gently now and then till alwut as warm as the'iinger will bear; pour into a coarse bag and hang in a cool place over night it mado in the evemn when wuutod, turn from tho bag, chop rather coarse and add salt, popper and cream. Some prefer to dress it with sugar, cream and a little nutmeg, omit ting tho salt and pepiier; or work in a little butter and mould it into balls. Hauling out fresh manure for crops that are to In; planted on the manure is unwise. Before tho plants can derive benefit from the manure it must ilrst de- dccoiuposo in the soil and its elements dissolved by the ruins. Well-rotted, de comixsed manure is always tho best for anv crop. If the manure is undecom posed it will not becomo available as plant food to its fullest extent until tho next season. The more litter in the manure tho slower tho process of decom Ksition. Ijist veur it was demonstrated bv those who make sKcial exjeriiuentB to deter mine tho mutter of feeding for fat or lean, that a steer or a hog can 1r miido to at tain a heavy weight, with u fair proiwr tion of fat and lean, by feeding for lean as by the former method of feeding to securo weight or fat only. Tho relative cost of each system of production is nearly the same, but the quality of tho carcasses Uiat soro evenly interpjKirsed with lwth fat aud leun were far superior to tho car casses that largely ulnmnd in fat.

PORTLAND MARKET. WILL THE WHEAT HARVET BE AN AVERAGE IN QUANTITY? Prices Remain Uncbangel in Provisions Choice Grades of Butter Firmer The Market Well Supplied With Fresh Fruits. The chief feature in the local markt-tft is Uio probable price of wheat, and whether Uie liarvest will be up to the average in quantity, for Uie cool weather of late must have greaUy benefitted many sections of tho country east of the Cas cades, and the increased cereal area will quite counterbalance the deficionccy re ported in several districts. Sugars hare declined slighUy, while provisions re main firm with prices unchanged. The fruit market is well supplied wiUi fruits of all kinds, which are quickly dispose of. Choice grades of butter id firmer, but tho poorer qualities remain stationary. Tho demand back East for wool haa slackened somewhat, which haa had Uie effect of making tho local market quiet in consequence. In fresh meats, mutton has declined Vfc, but oUierwise there is no cliange. We quote : GROCERIES.

For use on the table it is lightened in various ways, and generally eaten with something else likely to compact in the stomach. It is necessary to do the same with it for stock, especially if the corn is ground. There is nothing better to grind with corn than outs. Their hull makes the mixture much lighter, and the grain itself supplements somo of the deficien cies of the corn. Oats are also excellent to put it with corn in the ear, when tho latter is to be ground. Unless this is done it is oflen hurd for the miller to make the cob grind fiu6 enough. If any way damp the cob breaks up into pieces. and only the grain is ground and that poorly.
