JOYS OF CHILDREN.
"How can I amuse the children
during the summer-time?"
Children are so full of life, bo
eager aud interested in new things,
so restless, that amusement furn
ished at home is a requirement
In home amusement there is little
danger of excess as children usually
encounter injurious amusements
when allowed to seek them from
home. It's an old adage which
says it takes a genius to amuse a
child, but if children are given
tools and allowed to use their own
ideas to within a proper limit, they
will amuse themselves and enjoy
many hours of pleasure. This is a
real comfort to the mother and
the children will be more agree
able and get along better than
where they are constantly being
waited upon or entertained by
their elders. They will need a
change of playthings, a- diversion
being as necessary to them as to
older people; they should be given
means to create new amusements
or given new objects, to admire and
look over. t
Nothing pleases the little tots
better than a pile of sand uuder a
shade tre; they will make many
architectural wooders aud with
branches and flowers to stick in
the pand, they will plaut orchards,
gardens and form beautiful parks;
and if given bricks, blocks and
water they will build houses,
bridges and form rivers. This will
not require much expense, but it
will amuse the children a good
part of each day, and a few loads
of clean sand are easily hauled to
any Heppner home from the sand
pile above town.
UNDER THE OCEAN.
Prof. Boutan, the gifted French
man, who uned to take so many
graud photographs of the grand
scenery along the Columbia, has
been taking some submarine
views, and says:
"I soon touud outlbat the bot
torn of the sea, especially near the
coast, is not flat and monotonous,
as one might, imngiue. It is very
uneven, and presentH most pictur
esque and varied landscapes. If
one happens to have descended on
a sandy beach, one sees, as far as
the eye can reach, a submarine
meadow covered with lung grasses,
all bent over io the direction in
which the current is running.
Here and there deep ravines cut
up the green surface, while farther
away are noticed steep masses of
rock formed by fallen blocks or
tony precipices. Every bowlder
is covered with its dress of sea
weed, and in the crevices between
swarm a whole fauna of inverte
brates." IN EARLY SUMMER.
It is now the old how wanders to Borne
qniet fen or break and returns with
seven piglets toddling cutely in her
wake. In the spring the good dog
Rover hide behind the huKhea damp,
waiting always, waiting ever, for a
chance to nil a tramp. In the spring
the bull so gentle, which has been a pet
for years, gores the poor confiding
farmer, sits on him and eats hia earg.
In the spring the youths and maidens
go t picnic in the woods, packing with
them in their bankets sandwiches and
other good; and they fall into the river,
and the chiggeia eat them up, and they
come back from the picnic swollen like
a poisoned pup.
In the spring the wily stranger comes
to sell a patent oat, and he gets the
names of victims to a thousand-dollar
note. In the spring you make a garden,
full of things you like to ent, and the
chickens come and scratch it all to
thunder and repeat. Io the spring your
lawn is pretty and yon point to it with
pride, till some cattle come and spoil it
in the silent eventide.
In the spring the groanir.it husband
eats his victuals in the barn, for hia wife
must clean the mansion, and she doesn't
care a darn ; and the yard is full of car
pets, and the trees are full of sheets,
and he has to live on sauerkraut, cistern
water and sliced beets. Oh, a woman's
in her glory when she tears things all
apart, piling beds and chairs and pillows
in a way to break your heart. And at
night the groaning husband has to sleep
upon the porch and he feels so plum
disgusted (hat hp can't enjoy his torch.
When the blamed old cleaning's over,
then the wile is taken ill, and it keeps
the hUHttand busted buying dope and
drug and pill.

GIRLS WHO WORK.
Writing upon this most import
ant subject, Col. Vischer says:
While many young girls with
g.od homes and well-to-do parents
are entering the business world,
that they may have more money
to spend upou themselves than is
furnished them, there is a vast
army that must work to live, and
daily exertion is made to find i a
poeition io an office, lu a store, etc.,
overlooking the needs of the pec
pie in their own neighborhood,
which would possibly be the work
they could do best. The girls that
are compelled to work, that help
to form the great band of unem
ployed, have the sympathy of all
true people; and we shudder when
we look into their faoes which
plainly bespeak their great disap
pointment, as each day they make
an application for some position
and fail to secure it; it's try and
fail until they wear a weary look
and in their hearts we find despair.
They lose faith in the goodness of
the world and they see no beauty
or meaning in life.
Our institutions, our stores and
offices are overcrowded, but it is
almost impossible to employ effi
cient domestic service; numerous
vacancies occur daily, but compe
tition is small in this branch of
business as our girls do not want
to do such degrading work. (?)
What a wrong idea! Housekeep
ing is such importaut work and we
may Bay, too sacred to be bandied
with indifference or neglect. All
honest work, which must be well
done work, is honorable; if a girl
can be imbued with this idea, she
is well equipped for any emergency
of prosperity or adversity.
The girl employed by the lady
in the house and the one employed
by the lord in the office are both
hired and paid; the same safeguard
and requirements of discretion
must be maintained; specified
duties are expected of each and
each mudt obey certain laws.
The clerk or : office girl must
please many people; her hours are
usually long and the work..' tire
some; if she has no home or is away
from home she must pay her board,
her laundry and; her lodging bills;
she has no time to devote to sew
ing or to mending aud it is by the
greatest effort that she can meet
her clothing expenses. The girl
that does housework will some
times find the lady bard to pleaBe,
the lord peculiar and the children
vexing. What a boon to the
woman that is forced to do hei
own work, simply because she can
uot secure sufficient help, would be
the neat, bright young girl, lady
like and refined, who would wil
lingly and cheerfully learn to do
her work well; she would certainly
be a joy forever.
"Uh for a common-sense girl!
said a weary mother with little
ones to care for, "to help with the
woik; one that I could trust; one
that was not neglectful or indiffer
ent; one whom, when the work was
done, I could find a congenial and
intelligent companion, whom the
children would like and with whom
I would like for them to asaociate.
If I keep help it must not be a
coai Be, iguorant creature and im
pudent in the extreme; who, if I
speak kindly to her, will repay me
by being hrat at the piano, first to
the table, first in conversation and
first in everything in which she is
least expected.''
b or girls that must work there
is an opening in domestic service;
would it not be better to accept
this and bring this work to its
proper height than to remain
poorly fed and thinly clad, waiting
for some vacancy to occur for
which there will be hundreds of
applicants.

SONGS FOREVER HUSHED.
Here, related in the hard, un
sympathetic language of com
merce, is the tragic story of a crime
against Mature and the Common
wealth:
Milford, Del., June 7. Contracts
were closed here today for the
bodies of 8UU0 birds to be killed
for New York milliners at from 10
to 50 cents apiece. The contracts
call for meadow larks, bluebirds,
red-wing blackbirds, crow black
birds, English sparrows and baby
owls.
This reoital means that a cruel
robbery is about to be committed
in Delaware a robbery which is
made doubly wicked by the fact
that it is perfectly legal. The bird
life of that state is to be sacrificed
to the whims of fashion. The
farmers are to be deprived of 8000
of their most efficient crop-protectors
and the landscape despoiled of
a charm which nothing can replace.
The birds called for by this con
tract are nearly all of insect-destroying
species. They exercise
a function in the economy of Na
ture which is almost indespensible
to successful agriculture, and aside
from their practical value, they
constitute a part of the common
property of the people which no
person has the right to destroy for
Belfish purposes. The lark that
feeds in Farmer Brown's meadow
and nests in Farmer Smith's grove
belongs alike to Brown and Smith,
but in no greater degree than to
the veriest traaap who walks the
public highway. The owl that
roosts in Gray's forest and fattens
on the mice in Johnson's graiu-
helda is the property of the com
munity. So are all the birds , of
the air. Thev belong to the peo-
pie, and whosoever destroys them
commits a crime against the com
monwealth.
The responsibility for this mon
strous destruction of bird-life is
easy to plaoe, The birds would
not be killed unless they could
be sold.
YELLOWJACKETS.
As fcheep-camp-tenderg and sum
mer sojourners in the mountains
will now be meeting the stingy
yellowjacket in his home, it will be
interesting to know that it only re
quires a certain number of stings
to become so accustomed to the
business as not to notice them.
A Salem scientist, Prof. F. C. Per-
pine, has given much thought to
the matter, and sent circulars to
bpe-keepers all over the country,
asking about acquiring immunity
from bee poison.
While 144 beekeepers stated that
they were immune to the sting of
bees, and nine that they were
naturally immune to the poison,
26 replied that they could not ac
quire immunity. The number of
bee stings necessary to produce the
much-desired immunity appears to
have varied considerably; some
times 30 were sufficient, but in
other cases the individual had to
undergo the ordeal as many as 100
times before his system became
acoustomed to the poison. All
sorts of remedies were used, rang
ing through tobacco juice, trench
brandy, rum and water, but the
favorite appears to be spirits of
ammonia.
It was at one time believed that
the pain of the bee sting was duo
to the presence of formic acid, but
as the bee poison is now found to
withstand heat, which would effec
tually volatilize formio acid were
it present, this idea no longer holds
good. The opinion now generally
accepted is that the toxio substance
present partakes of the nature of
an alkaloid.
BASE BALL.
When the Heppnor team goes to
Arlington tomorrow, a good game is
expected. All over the coast now In
terest in base ball is greater than it has
been for some time. The California
players are making a tour of the Puget
Sound cities, and from there they will
go to Spokane, wheie they will play
July 3, 4 and 5. The Spokane club has
invited the Multnomah team to its city
for tbe Independence day games. The
Portland boys will doubtless accept,
and a triangular competition will prob
ably be arranged between Spokane,
Stanford and Multnomah.
A series of games between these three
clubs would prove interesting to base
ball enthuaiaats. At the present time
Spokane is bubbling over with athletic
enthusiasm, and the players of the Spo
kane club can put up fast ball.
Mr. W. g. Wbedon, oasbier of tbs First

recent letter givel some experience witb

ENJOY THE LITTLE ONES.
B. S. Pague, the weather-man,
whose bright boy has brought joy
to so many public gatherings, in
writing on the home, well says:
How few parents realize all the
enjoyment that was intended for
them in their children. It makes
my heart ache to think how soon
the babies change into sturdy boys
and girls and again into men and
women. Now while they are small
they are all our own, we make
their whole life, they have no sor
row or pleasure but what we give
l hem; but very soon the out side
world will enter into their lives
and we can not be everything to
them again. It is a great pity
parents do not realize this more
fully and make greater efforts to
make this time a pleasant and
beautiful one. It takes such a
little to make a child supremely
happy and they repay any efforts
we make for them a hundred fold
in their happy faces and sweet
voices that it is a pity we do not
find m6re opportunities to enjoy
their pleasure. So many mothers
consider themselves too busy or
nave more important work to do
than to make their children happy.
It is a great mistake and there ia
no higher sphere in a woman's life
than to love and make happy. K
we devote more time to the chil
dren and less to outside work,
such as clubs and lodges, there
would be a vast improvement in
many homes. There should be
more thought spent on this subject
than is commonly given it. There
is nothing on earth so pure and
sweet as a little child. They are
sent to us as pure and undefiled
as the angels with God and the
task of training them to happy,
useful and christian lives is a most
serious undertaking and should be
considered as a great privilege
given us.
NEWS FROM NOME.
A dispatch from Vancouver, B. C.,
17th, says:
The steamer Alpha has arrived from
Nome and brings news that the gold
fields there are richer than supposed.
From a single claim, worked by 20 men
in the employ of Jack Brady, $15,000
was taken out in one week and the same
claim panned out $56,000 within the
month. The Alpha broaght down $250-
000 in gold dust. There were five pas
sengers on board who owned the dust.
The Alpha loft Vancouver April 5 and
reached Nome May 25, landing 153 pas
sengers and their supplies on the beacb.
The people of Nome had been anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the early steam
ers, and a guessing contest, with a $3000
prize, had been arranged for the cam-
ng of tbe first vessel from the south.
The Alpha was carried by the ice to
the Siberian coast, and for five days
was packed in the ice unable to move.
She finally made Nunivak Island, where
she found the San Francisco whalers,
Alexander and Jeanette, with about 100
passengers each, also trying to reach
Nome. After spending three days more
in very heavy ice near tbe Pribyloft
islands, the Alpha finally made Nome,
whither the Alexander bad preceded
her two days.
Nome wa rather dull during March
and April, work being entirely suspend
ed on account of cold weather. Several
times during the winter the settlement
narrowly escaped total destruction by
fire. All the boildings are said to be
flimsy structures, and no fire protection
is afforded.
The extent of tbe gold-producing area
of Nome seems much greater than was
at first supposed, and all over the coun
try men are reported to be washing from
15 to 20 cents to the pan in gold.
