The following - is clipped from the Review, of Pacific Grove, Calif., and is the comment following a published item as taken from the MAIL sometime since, pertaining to the World's Fair picture and the battles fought near Table Rock: "Mr. J. O. Johnson, who is at his home here for the winter and spring, is the owner of the original Table Rock ranch, a large tract of land upon which the battle referred to above was fought The land is bounded for one mile by Rogue river and on the other side for one and a- quarter miles by the Table Rock, which stands 850 feet above the water in Rogue river at its base. One year ago last June there was on exhi bition at D. W. Lloyd's store an oil painting of the historic Table Rock, painted by Mrs. J. O. Johnson from the porch of their residence, three quarters of a mile from the Rock. This is, we believe, the first picture ever put in oil of that Rock without sketch or photograph. It attracted a good deal of attention here and is now packed together with a large collection of paintings to be shipped back to the scene of its origin." Flounce Hock Baking.

Clara Skoel of the A's is teaching in the Primary department this week. Myrtle and Bertha arc getting along nicely in their school nnd having a pleasant time. Reiucrobjr the 0th of Mav. I do not hesitate to declare my con viction that if half the school time were devoted to reading solely for the sake of reading: if books were put into the scholars hand.'; all that while, under wise direction, divested of every shadow of association with the text book work, to bj perused with iutereot and delight inspired by their attractive contents choice volumes of history, biography, travels, poetry, fiction there would b a far more profitable disiosal of it than marks its laitsu in many a school room now. Supt. II er ringtou. Nine tenths of what tha chfldren learn of arithmetic and geograpbv will pass aw sy as the morning cloud and the early dew. But a taste for good reading will last for life: will b available every day and almost every hour, and will irraw hv whtil it fiMla on; will so occupy tfie tirao of the- young as to rob tempt lat ion ol nail 1U power br stealing more than half its opportunities, and will be a refuge and a solace in adversity.
