These ladies will have special charge of tho coffee de partment should any alarm render their services necessary during the month. One of the latest of the almost in numerable crazes that affect the public mind is a handkerchief with tho picture of a popular actress printed in one cor ner. Hera is a hint for presidential can didates. Let them present to their prob able constituents handkerchiefs adorned with portraits of themselves. No one knows but what snch a present may soften the blows that are sure to follow in the fall. A gentleman who has been many years in business, recently said: "I was in business many years before I found out that first-class newspapers were tho cheapest and most effective mediums of advertising extant. Millions of dollars are annually wasted in postage, circulars, expensive glass signs, etc: whereas if 10 per cent, of this amount was judiciously expended with first-class nowspapers, the returns in dollars and cents would prove most satisfactory." This is a great year for fruit in Oregon, and Clatsop county stands as well as her "Willamette sisters in this regard. John Hobson brought a basketful of pears to this office yesterday which well illustrates the proline yield, besides being unusual in tho matter of production. There is really four crops of pears growing on the tree, samples of all four are now ly ing on our desk. First is a bunch of pear blossoms; then a second growth of rudimentary fruit; then a third bunch of half-formed p&ars, and lastly a bunch of large, luscious pears, all from the same tree. The Missing Robur?liIre. A board of trade inquiry into the loss of the British ship lioxburgshirc was re cently held in Glasgow. This vessel left Astoria October 7, 1883, with a cargo of wheat bound for tho U. IL, and has not been heard from. Tho ship was built of iron in 187G by Messrs. Dobie & Co., at Glasgow (who built the .lros Bay, lately burnt); was 929 tons net register; stood in name of Messrs . T. Law & Co.: carried a cirgo of 1433 tons wheat, shipped by C. Cassar & Co., and was esti mated to have had a freeboard of 4 feet 2 inches. The cost of the ship was 14, 700, and after some dispute the owners stated that she was insured at the time of tho loss for 13,000 on the hull and 5,000 on the freight. The court held that the vessel was in good and seaworthy condition when sho left Astoria, except as to her upper topsail yards: that she was not everladen: that her cargo was properly stowed and secured from shift ing; that the regulations of tho marine surveyor had been complied with, and that the vessel, as laden, had sufficient stability. The court finallj decided that there was no evidence before them from which they could form any opinion why mis snip was missing. Special Meeting. Blaine and Logan Plumed Kuights at the wigwam to-night at eight o'clock, for the purpose of electing field officers. All arc requested to attend. II. F. Pkael, Secretary. Spiritualism. George P.

It was Dr. Johnson that said Patriot ism is tho last refuge of a scoundrel." It may with equal truth be said that tax ation tinkering is the lost refuge of a legislator. The average state legislature is alwa3s of a highly humorous compo sition. Originally a legislature was in tended as a medium of communication between the people and the sovereign. When we are all sovereigns tho legis lature is left to questions of its own priv ilege, and sometimes has a hard time finding enough to do. About all that our last state legislature did was to enact a new Jtax law and elect a successor to Grover. They will probably enact an other new tax law next winter and elect a successor to Slater. This whole matter of tax legislation is a favorite one with a legislator. The less he knows about it the more he likes to fiddle with it. He succeeded last ses sion in getting that ridiculous thing known as ''the mortgage tax law" on the statute book, and will in a momentary spasm of intelligence probably erase it next January, providing the effort of electing a United States senator does not exhaust his powers. Just at present the members elect are pondering over a long article signed by the secretary of state, and as compre hensive as the Thirty-nino articles of faith, regarding tho present assessment law. Tho possibility is that at tho Salem meeting there will be as many opinions as there are members. Taxation, and all laws relating to taxa tion, should be made and kept as simple as possible. Tho theory is that it should bo equal and uniform. The nearer it can be made to conform in practice to that theory the better for the commonwealth. So much money to be raised; so much or so little to ba levied upon, tho tax to be as liiht and fairly divided as possible. In this is required good management, which is usually called economy. The best informed man in the county on the subject of values should be the "assessor; the best salary in the county should be his. The county would make money by it. He would find constant employment every working day in the year and would earn his money. All this separate assess ment for back door, ncross-tho-street, school, district, precinct, city, county and state tax could and should be transacted by ono compstent man. If Jones' prop erty is rightly assessed at 1,C 30 by the city assessor it should be so ratsd by the county assessor; as matters now stand our system is costly, cumbersome, con tradictory and ineffective. It is is one of the things that can only be changed by public opinion. The thing goes on as it doe becausa 'it iru't worth while making a fuss over it.' Probably not. Then as regards levying a state tax. Wo all know that that is a farce. The value of property is put "away down" when the state tax is levied nnder tho mistaken notion that taxes arc thus kept down, and that "the people in the other county" will have to stand the cinch. Un fortunately the simple souls in tho other oounty are laboring under tho same de lusion. There is no honesty in the pres ent style of taxing property. There is no necessity in anyone holding up his hands and looking "astonished, We all know that it is a fact. There is so much dodging and shuffling aud trying to make tho "indebtedness" as big as possi ble about tho time the tax list must be handed in that it is a terrible strain on the conscience of the individual and the community; and tho asseseor in any county in Oregon is not to blame. Let him try to do just what his own good sense suggests as the correct thing to do, and ho will see what a storm ho shall raise. It is purely a matter of public ot inou. Just now public opinion bosses the assessors from one end of the state to other, and says, "We are all in on this." There is considerable good intent. Every man that goes to balem next January has good intent to "do right' in this matter. But it is something that you can't legislate on. A good many have tried it. The mortgage tax law was an effort of that kind. It didn't work. Tho Salem Solons might as well pass a law that all babies born after January 1, 188C, shall have blue eyes. These things regulate themselves. Trur, a legislature can frame laws that will result in making money cheap, but not by putting a direct cinch on tho bor rower, for from him comes the tax in the end.

The largest market is in Great Britain, where 450,000 cases of Columbia and Frazer river salmon are consumed an nually. Next comes tho United States, where 350,000 cases are used. Australia calls for 40,000 to 50,000 and Canada for 15,000 cases, while the rest are shipped to various points in Europe, South America, tho West Indies, India, China and tho islands of the Pacific Wherever our canned salmon has gone it has found favor, both with epicures and laboring men, while scientists have expressed the opinion that a can of salmon, properly prepared, contains more nutriment or brain and muscle than any other article of canned goods now produced. In the process of canning the salmon loses none of its juice, succulence or flavor and is by many preferred to the fresh article. This is not without a reason and one to which it is well that the attention of the public should be directed. To properly develop the finer flavor ofjsalmon requires a great deal of cooking, and this it receives in process of canning, where it is first cooked for one hour and a half in a salt water bath at the boiling point, after which it is placed in a steam retort and subjected to a temperature of 183 degrees for forty ? ti ; At a i jrL at- minutes, n lb men iruiy u ui&u uv iu b before a king. Tho average cooks in hotels and private houses consider a salmon done when it has been boiled from one-half to three-quarters of an hour, but this is wholly inadequate to properly prepare this viand, as any ono will discover who will have a salmon boiled for say two and a half hours. Any one taking this trouble will discover what a salmon really is. The fish should be cooked till the bones crumble, and until this point is reached the flesh will retain a raw, unpleasant flavor. The Lease Voted Dona. The two great companies, the Oregon Railway and Navigation and tho North ern Pacific, are still figuring on the lease question, and the end is not yet. A pri vate dispatch was received in this city yesterday containing news of an im portant nature. It stated that at t meet ing of the Northern Pacific directory held in New York tho question of the lease of the O. It. fc N. lines came up. Director Morgan, of tho great house of Drexel, Morgan Co., favored tho lease and gave many good reasons to sustain his position. Mr. Billings opposed tho lease, and succeeded in carrying enough weight by his argument to bring a ma jority of tho board of directors around to his manner of thinking. On vote it was decided not to lease on the terms pro posed In the O. R. &. N. Co. Mr. MorgrA was so chagrined by this turn of affairs that ho resigned from the directory. Tho dispatch stated that a new leaso proposi tion will be prepared and submitted to tho Northern Pacific directors in a few days. Portland Neics, lSlh. Left-Handed Barber. "Is there a left-handed barber in this shop?" asked a man as he walked into a tonsorial establishment, early in tho week. "Take a chair." A reporter watched tho straugo cus tomer a3 tho left-handed knight of tho brash scraped his chin, but could not dis cover anything different from the manip ulation of a right-handed man, but thoro was just tho same, and here it is: "You see." said the barber, "when a man is shaved all tho timo by a right handed barber, tho beard is pushed over toward the right, and when it grows out it looks like a lopsided map. The left handed barber counteracts this tendency and tho roots ara directed tho way they should go. A left-handed barber is a new wrinkle, but he is a good thing to have in the house." The Imitation a Tonth Becelred to Coxae In A lawyer living away over yonder, has a son about seven years old and a daugh ter about three times that age. Tho boy -has been around tho court rooms a good deal and tho girl has a solid beau. The other evening the gentleman passed tho house and the young lady wanted to seo him. "Johnny," said she to the kid, "won't you please call Mr. Mann?" Johnny knew the state of affairs, and with a ready "of course," ho flew to tho front door and called out in tho usual loud monotone of a crier: "John Henry Mann, John Henry Mann, John Henry Mann, come into court." Mr. Mann camo in and Johnny with drew to a safe place. Ills SucceHH Financially and socially are largely due to his excellent health.

Wo should so live that when the sum mons como to bo a parent it will find us prepared. Like n thief in tho night, at an hour when wo think not, like a thun derbolt from a clear sky, the call may come to us. Let tho night.lamp, there fore, be trimmed and burning, and the alum where you can lay hold of it at any time. But above all, wo should make ourselves conversant with those little preliminary rules which must govern tho conduct of tho parent in his or her social contact with the child. A few sugges tions upon what constitutes etiqutte, and shows good breeding in this branch of society, readily marking rud contrasting the cultivated parent and distinguishing him or her from the vulgar, the snide, the plebeian, the canillies (as we say in France), the James Crow and the sans culottes parent might not be ill-timed or inopportune. In wiping a child's nose be extremely careful to leave the 11032. Soma parents use so much unnecessary strength in do ing this that they find when too late that they have wiped tho nose of a pet child into space. Nothing gives moro pain. Nothing can be more pitiful than the child's first look of sorrow and disap pointment when he start", to wine his noso and discovers thatitis gone, l'ause, fond parent, while tho wipe is in its in cipiency, and resolve that you will spare its nose. It can be of no use to you, and the loss of it will be a constant source of annoyance to the child. Teach your child the beauty of frank ness and open candor toward all. Im press upon him tho beauty of being what you appear to be, and hato deception ev erywhere. If you will fondlo him and doto on him in society and jerk him bald headed in the seclusion of the home circle, ho will readily understand what you mean. Children soon learn that if you hug their little gizzards flat while visitors are about, and then, when the homo life is again resumed, you throw them down cellar and wear out a table leg on their chubby limbs, that life is real, life is earnest, and the square-toed, open, frank policy is not generally in use. Parents should impress upon their children the beauty of self-sacrilico and self-abnetration, if they know what that is: I don't. If there should be but one fiiece of pie, give it to "poor sick papa." t may kill him. and alter the funeral your young life may be one prolonged hallelujah and roe-tinted whoop 'emup 'lizajane. Parents should not be constantly sus picions of their children. This will in ovitably breed hypocrisy and unreliabil ity. If you fear that your son is playing pin-pool, do not break down your consti tution and bring on delirium tremens, hanging around tho pool tables and watching all night for him. He will look upon you with distrust, and no doubt at last tell you to go and soak your head. Do not constantly tell your boy "how tall" hois that ho" "grows like a weed" and finally mako him think he is a giraffe. If you keep it up you will finally mako a round shouldered, awkward, bashful beanpole out of a mighty good looking boy. If every tall boy in this country wilf agree to lick every wooden headed man who tells him "how ho does grow," I will agree to hold the coat of said tall boy. I nm now dealing with a subject of which I happen to bo inform ed. The same rnlo applies to girls as well. H you want to make your girl fall over tho piano and yearn to climb a tree whenever she sees anybody como towards tho house, tell her "what a great swallop ing tom-boy she is getting to be." In this way, if "parents act jndioiously and in concert, we can soon have a nation of young men and women whose manners and carriage will be as beautiful and sjTnmetricnl as tho plaster cast of a sore toe.
