Photographs nro very usoful in the detection of criminals, but considera ble practico has to bo acquired boforo Ihoy can bo used to nny groat ad van tngc Criminals resort to all sorts of triolts in "changing thole appoaranco "besides change of dress, clipping hair, shaving off tho beard or altering its stylo, etc. Tho process of shaving off tho mustacho and beard and clipping tho hair by a criminal is known in tho parlnnco of detectives as "ring ing." Hut thcro is ono unmistakable man n or of scrutinizing tho counte nance of a man or in studying his pict ure. J Hero Is ono portion of tho faco that criminals can not change in their methods of "ringing." Draw a circlo over tho face, taking in tho oyos, eye brows, lower part of tho fore head, tho noso and that part of tho cheeks on each sido of tho nasal organ and just beneath tho oyos. This portion of tho fnco always remains tho samo. A mnn can shavo a long beard o(T, clip his hair, and leave or shave his mustacho, but that portion of tho faco within tho circlo described ahovo will remain tho samo. Dissipation and consumption will Bomctimos inako a decided hollow ap poaranco of tho oyes, and tho chook will be,como sunken, but an oxpori enced delectivo will identify tho man nino times out of ten, novcrtholoss. Tho manner in which a dotoclivo fixes an impression of tho features of a criminal in his mind is very simple. A. small magnifying glass tho slzo of a half dollar is hold over that portion of tho photo described in tho circlo, which enlarges tho Impression of tho eyes and othor marlcs of identification until tho detective very easily gets a clear conception of that portion of tho criminal's faco. This conception ho carries in his mind, and is, of course, aided by a full description, which attends, of courso, tho photo of ovory criminal in n rogues' gallory, and any marks on tho body or any peculiar twitch of niuselos or gait of walking, and, in fact, all peculiari ties noticeable, aro monllonod, and when tlicso full mental notes of a criminal aro boforo tho dotectlvo's mind's oyo it is not so straugo that ho can pick his man out of a largo crowd and raroly mako a mistake Detectives often identify criminals from pictures which look but very little liko tho originals, and porsons who do not un derstand tho art of scrutinizing a physiognomy would declare that a mistake had been mado. Ono of the most successful criminals in "ringing' in this country is James Carroll, tho noted bank sneak, who is now sorv Ing a term of eight years at tho Jollot ponitontlary Tor rob bing tho safo of a bank in Galos burg, 111. Ills picture, taken over ton yoars ago, adorns almost ovory rogues' gallory in tho Unitod States. It rop rosonts him with a long llowlng board and long hair, with a high forehead and no mustacho. Ono night sovoral j years ago tho police brought in a man on suspicion, and ho was lodged in tho holdover, at tho Tour Courts. Chlofl O'Noil of tho St. Louis dotootivo force was passing through tho holdover on his regular rounds to identify any criminals that might bo thoro. lie camo to a prlsonor whoso faco at once 6truck him as being tho original of a photo in tho rogue's gallory. Ho stop ped up-stairs to tho gallory, and in u fow mlnutos found tho picture of the prlsonor. It was Jimmy Carroll, tho banlc-robbor. Hut nobody but an oxpo rloncod dofootlvo would havo over iden tified tho prlsonor by tho photo wo had, and whloh havo boon described abovo. Carroll had his hair cut short And combed it down on ills forehead, his board was clippod vory short, and tho greatest change of all was that ho woro a mustaoho. Ho looked vory much youngor than tho plcturo wo had, which was taken nino years pro vious. His mouth droppod at tho cor Tiors, lils uudor Hp Bhowed plainly, vrhllo tho upper lip was covorod, which was directly opposite, to our plcturo. But Mr. O'Notl's identification waa no mistake. Tho features of tho robber's faoo within tho circlo that had boon doscribed were tho samo as nino yoars boforo, and by that circlo ho was Identified.

Tho dog had rocogulzod Ills friends mid rofusod to bark. When all efforts to outer seemed fruitless tho door was opened by a sloopy servant, accompanied by a vory wldo-awako dog. It Boomed that this friend of tho family had mado his way to tho serv ant's room and hud gently awakened her to a realization of tho situation. As ho had novor boon permitted to titer tho room boforo, it Is evident that his Houso of tho uoeds of tho occa sion had shown him that ho should not -valt for u coromonlous Invitation.

Arsenical poisons (Paris green and London purple) were used tho past sea son for protection against curculion on plums and the coddling worm on apples. To effectually make the plum and apple culture profitable the fruit-grower in each neighborhood should act in concert. The object should be to prevent the maturity of a single insect, if possible, in order to lessen the work another season. It is believed that by united work theso pests may in time bo subdued or exterminated, but it cannot be accomplished by the cfibrts of a single individual. Laying hens are very fond of broken Ikmics. They help to digest other food when they cannot get at sharp gravel, and with the strong digestive apparatus which fowls have, every part is made use of. The lime goes to make the shells, but if the bones have been only cooked and not burned, they are full of material from which the egg itself is made. The only advantage from burning bones is to make them break up more easily. The fuwels certainly do not like them as well, nor aro they fo good for them as when broken uo without burning. There is a great and notablo increase in the demand for sweet cream, and this is likely to continue. One cause doubt less is the use of creameries and of ice for making creum rise quickly, and with tho least possible injury by" absorption from tho air. Cream is no longer old bo fore it is gathered ; in fact, it is unafieeted by injurious odors, as is new milk. Tins old-fashioned cream raised in open pans is good for cooking purposes; but like cooking butter it cannot bo made gener ally popular as that from creameries is. Preserving Fence Posts. Waldo F. Brown suggests that tho end posts, which must bear the strain of stretching tho wires, bo set with concrete. It will take but a few cent's worth of cement to a jK)8t, and will mako it perfectly firm at tho bottom, and also more durable than if set in the clay. It is almost impossible to set iostB firm enough so that they will not yield to the strain when the land is wet and soft, but by digging a hole fifteen incites square and ixnsnding it full of coarpe cement grout around tho post it will giTO base enough to the post to keep it in place. A correspondent makes inquiries re garding millet and Hungarian grass. They are very similar in appearance, but tho millet grows higher and afibrds but ono cutting, while the Hungarian grass can be cut every live weeks if the soil is rich. They aro summer crops, and are not usually sown until May. Tho hay from millet and Hungarian grass is highly relished by all classes of stock, and tho vield is usuallv heavy. The ground should bo well manured, bar rowed lino and ten quarts of seed per acre sown, or oven moro it a tlnck growth is desired. ! Never throw away a pcrap of linen ; Let this bo graven upon tho heart of every woman. Every scrap of linen that i i?j i ... uas serveu lis purpose minimi ne ivirr. fully washed ami ironed and laid away in a projwr recepticlo for homo or hospital use. Old handkerchief, table-napkins, tabieciotns, sneets, towels and pillow cases should be placed in their respect ive places, so that when wanted they may no easily iounu. wespiso no piece of linen however small. Tho linen part of frayed cutis or collars may be detached and put away for future use. The licms of tablecloths, sheets and pillow cases should be taken oil' beforo they are ironed. Old towels that are so often thrown away, as oi no value, aro also of use in cases of illness. What a satisfac tion to tho housekeeiMjr it is when an ap peal is made for old linen by the hospital to know that she has but to go to her old linen-drawer or box and put up a pack ago of snowy, soft linen that may bo at once despatched for tho needs of the suff ering. Early Summer Plowing. It is not cus tomary to plow in tho summer, just at tho busiest time of harvesting, but when tho farmer is busy then is the weeds' op portunity. Thoy take possession and grow. They will not grow as well when tho seed is uncovered, and tho opportu nity of the farmor should lie to induce them to grow. Instead of leaving the stubble land idle for the weeds to grow on, with tho uncovered bchhIs remaining to be plowed under for a spring crop, tlw stubble land should In) plowed as soon as tho wheat crop is oil'. It should not bo turned under deeper than ono or two inches if Kssible, and if tho boil is light tho cultivator may serve to break it up. Tho seeds of tho weeds will then germi nate (as also the seeds of any grain that may be on tho ground), and when the plants are well up tho land should lxi plowed a little deeper, thus turning un der tho weeds as green manure and giv- it nt mtit ii t ii rti u l I u hi iiivniiiii!tii H, 441 J 4U4ll(lllt4lfe 47 V V-WO 144 W J ' J fJ t U J 1 1 1 A 1 Iw. hwwl lll.SM.litV? then bo left until late in tho fall unlets tho weeds are nearly matured, as thoy should never be allowed to seed. (PORTLAND MARKET. CONTINUED DRY, WARM WEATHER HAS HASTENED HARVESTING. A Slight Decline in all Grades of Sugars Provisions are Active Fruit or all Kinds in Good Supply Wheat Is Advancing. Continued do', warm weather has has tened harvesting work, and threshing will soon be general throughout the Val ley, while, owing to tho peculiar condi tions in Eastern Oregon the work is still more forward. The probable courso of the wheat market still absorbs tho at tention of the farmers and shippers, the former of whom aro satisfied with the advancing tone of the British and Eastern markets, and tho local declino in tho value of sacks. All grades of sugars have declined $c since our last report. In provisions a few reductions are noted. Fresh frnit continues well supplied, and a fairly active market continues for dried, with little or no change in last week's quotations, either for old or new fruit. A better tone characterizes the flour mar ket, and while prices are as yet un changed, an advance may bo expected beforo long in sympathy with tho grain. We quote : GnOCEKIKS.

A few evenings ago they delighted a select company at a soiree givon by Mmo Edouard Ilorve, the wifo of tho well known Orloanlst journalist, and last night thoy earned goldon opinions at a private perform auco to which thoy treated a party ol vory competent judges at tho head quartors of a leading Parisian newspa per, i no uaua is composed ot about a scoro of members, not ono of whom can read a noto of music; yet tho style in which thoy played a variety of thoix native aiw, throwing in Viounese waltzes and scraps of oporatio music perfectly charmed tlioir hearers. Vio lins and stringed instruments of tho zither type predominato in these gypsj bands, but tho piece do resistance is u species of pan-pipes, in tho manipula tion of which thoy are remarkably pro ficient. Hungarian tzigans havo al ready performed both hero and in Lon don, but tho appoaranco of theso Rou manian laoutarl is a now doparturo which will bo highly appreciated by visitors to tho exhibition, where thoy aro to play ovory afternoon and even ing. It is from their earliest childhood, even beforo thoy can speak distinctly, that those musicians begin to be initia ted by tlioir progenitors into tho mys teries of thoir art, tho talent being he reditary in certain fnmllios. In thoir nntivo country they aro in high re quest iu tho enfo-gardons on a sum mer's evening; at fairs, and on festive occasions liko weddings, though thoj also figure at funerals. Tho music ol tho Roumnnla laoutari is moro wlord than that of tho Hungarian tzigans, and is probably heard to tho best ad vantago among tho mountains of Tram sylvania, tho mlnstrols of tho hills be ing less nffected by surrounding influ ences than thoir brothren of tho plains. "Dear John," wrote his wlfo, "I am sorry to say Willio fell out of a swing yesterday and disublod himself. Ho will not bo able to uso his arms for u msnth so tho doctor says. Ho is 4 getting along all right, but it makes him restless to stay indoors. Whon you return from tho city pleaso bring him something ho can amuso himself with." Willie." said tho father, kindly, ns ho patted tho littlo bov con solingly on tho head tho noxt day, "I havo brought you that drum I prom Isod you a yoar or two ago you should havo somo time." J 1
