Announcement and Prospectus.
Friends’ Pacific Academy is located at Newberg, Yamhill county, OiS
gon, on the Portland and Willamette Valley railroad, twenty-two miles from
Portland, and one mile from Rogers’ Lu lling on Willamette river.
It was opened for pupils September 28th, 1885, and had enrolled during
the first week nineteen pupl’s. T..e second school year began September
18th, 1886, with an enrollment of twenty-six, and the present school year
opened Septemlier 12th, 1887, with an enrollment of fifty-one, and the winter
term, December 3d, with an enrollment of 110.
At the time of the opening of the school only the Academy building was
erected, and only the lower story of it was completed.
During the summer
of 1886 the Israrding hall and three coltigei for pupds boirding themselves
were constructed, and during the summer of 1887 Ihe hall for gymnasium
and boys’ dormitories was coni-in need and the Academy building was com­
pleted.
Tbe trustees hope to be able to add other buildings as they are
needed.

We can not make our homes too
beautiful or too inviting; and the at­
tempt to Idealize the moat oonimon
things in nature, reproducing them In
the manifold way suggested by art, is
indeed a worthy one; yet I am led to
ask if the interior of many houses —
filled as they are with a thousand and
one incongruous articles—do not strike
one with a sense of replcteness, which
tends to dnntroy, rather than promote
the object so worthily aimed at? One
Is led to wonder at the patience ex­
pende I in the production of these va-
rious article* of use nnd beauty, no less
than at the patience required to keep
them free from dust. If Julia com­
pletes an elegant thing in the wav of a
tidy. Sally, upon seeing it, sets to work
immediately to render a duplicate, no
matter if Sally’s room* are be-tldied
from the attic to the cellar, and a sur­
plus stock on hand to supply all losses
arising from contingent fir% or ill-be­
haved beaux.
Did you ever stop to think, by the
bye, of the manner in whi*h the tidy of
our mothers’ day ha* been metamor­
phosed? Once it had the merit of be­
ing useful; uow, it renders useless, so
far at least «* comfort 1* concerned,
the chair or other article it Is made to
adorn. Many people buy or make a
thing simply because it is pretty in
itself, without regard to the surround­
ings it will meet with. Why not use a
Ip.lle disc, iiiiiliulion, mid instead of be­
coming elated over tire newest tiling in
fancy work, go quietly into your rooms
and weed out one-third at least of what
you have placed there, avoiding thus
tho liability of any of your friends mis­
taking your rooms for twenty-five cent
counters.
In connection w ith home decorating
at tho present time, did It ever strike
the reader as surprising how many

Blu* in Slang- Phrases.
"Blue is a favorite adjective In slang
phrases.
Schoolboys, in their own
choice dialect, talk of "blue fear” and
"blue funk.”
Tho indefinite period
known as "once in a blue noon ” is a
favorite with Miss Braddon, if one may
judge by her frequent use of the ex­
pression. The moon will doubtless not
ho blue until tho Greek Calends, or, as
they say in Ireland, till "Tib’s Eve,"
whenever that may be. Swift, in his

ries of dialogues, crammed with collo­
quialisms current in tho oarly part of
the last century, uses the strange ex­
pression, "to blush like a blue dog,”
meaning, not to blush at alL More
than a century earlier, in tire "Apol-
ogle for the School of Abuse,” pub­
lished in 1579, Stephen Gosson speaks
with similar moaning of blushing "like
a blacko doggo.” Both expressions
appear to ho equally meaningless. To
drink "till all is blue” is an old-estab­
lished euphemism for getting very
drunk. Ford, in the "I-adjr’s Trial, *
