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.

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

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

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

Arsenical poisons (Paris green and

son for protection against curculion on

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.

of linen however small. Tho linen part
of frayed cutis or collars may be detached
and put away for future use. The licms

to know that she has but to go to her old

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

(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.

An interesting feature of the exhibi
tion will be the laoulari or gypsy musi
cians whom tho Roumanian committee
has brought to Paris. 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."
