The hop crop of Oregon is this

and soil are such," he continued,
"that they cannot be beat. Some
roots of the celebrated Bohemian
hops have been procured, and are
now being cultivated here, and it
is expected that in a short time
Bohemian hops will be produced
in Oregon superior to those pro
duced in Bohemia."

It is not until some young friend

the true effect of these highly color

ful if these girls of ours should
prove too thoroughly truu and holt

possible, let ox spare them the
pain of looking back upon s period
ot their lives when they lived in

ing from them such books as have
no object beyond that of enter

this virtue.

If thure is one thing more than
another to which our girls of
today owe their flippancy of man
ner arid their daring disregard for
public opinion it is the unconven
tional heroine of the modurn nov
el. Those novelists who write only
for popularity have sought to por
tray a heroine whose dash and
spirit should arouse the interest of
those who had tired of the perfect
ly proper and most conscientious
maiden who formerly figured as
the center of interest in the works
of fiction; but in seeking for novel
try they have over-stepped the
bounds of romantic license and
have held up as adorable certain
characters which in real life would
be considered abominable. There
are a few people these days who
admire the tea-drowned and supa
sensitive heroine of "Queechy," but
it is rather too great an effort to
bring onrselves to the appreci
ation of some of the independent,
impertinent and daringly roman-
