There is always some dispute to SUPPORTING THE SUPPORTING VIEW.

It is obviously unfair that Christian , Science should be made the synony mous term jfor ail that is included in the phrase! "without medical attend- ance. 1 iihas been most carefully estimated that 00 oer cent, of all who have turned to Christian Science for help from their many distresses have been those who have failed to obtain relief from the va rious medical systems.

For in- stance, in 1855, Scienjce and Health, she say "Adam is from the Latin dem eus." But the merest tyro knows that the Hebrew was a dead language be fore the , Latin was born.

What reliance C2n be put upon the scientific .statements of such a schola' 1 j Her use of theBible is, equally dis honest. She is either a most careless reader of the English scriptures or in tentionally misquotes and misinterprets them. She does not hesitate to sup press portions of -a New Testament pas sage; when it serves her purpose. She quotes "detached; texts without any ref erence to the context, and repudiates a "a lie" certain parts that destroy her theories. 'Mr. Ingersoll never used more vr.'gar raillerw against scripturfi tfian may be quoted from her writings She denies almost every article of the essential Christian Creed. She attacks nrayer with swecial virulence, and al- lows in her service only one prayer? that which Chfrist especially, gave to avoid repetitidn, and tbis prayer only as tt is joined sentence by sentence with her ownj utterly irrelevant criti-' cisms. Her view of Jesus Christ. 2. in his person and- mission, is radically difr fcrent from tbat of the New Testament. To her Christ was simply a . "natural Christian Scientist." who did not know the form of the "system he was propa gating; the'seience of the "Revelation." as to form, being reserved for Mrs. Ed dy's apotheosis nineteen- hundred years after Christ's birth. Shades of Ma homet! Christian Science has no philosophy that can be intelligibly stated. Scraps of all philosophic thinking are inextri cably intefmingled. Now it is trans cendental panthei.ni. then occultism, then mysticism, then a suggestion of Swedenborgianism, next mental heal ing, then ihe rankest sort of mediaeval theology against which Mrs. Eddy of--ten rails. ; Christian. Science can get no perma nent hold on any person who thinks accurately'' and knows his Bible. Like Spiritualism. Millerism. and other men tal fads, which have run their day and lost their attraction, it will deceive, in jure and destroy many.

(Written for the Homestead.) , Very few farmers stop to ask them selves the question. Are my cows re turning tne a profit? Many are actual- ly losing money on tnem every aay 01 their lives, yet so careless are they con-r cerning , ! the matter that they , take no pains to ascertain the facts in the case. They simply go on year after year redingj milking the cows and making ie milk into butter with no idea of iow mjuch if any money they are rc ceiving for their trouo.e. It is easy enough to ascertain wh.nt a cow is doing. A pair of scil-.-s nJ a Babcock test are within reach of the poorest farmer of us Tail. To wigh the milk of each animal once a we k and make a test of it is not a -task that requires much time, yet that alone will determine with sufficient accuracy htr utter making properties. r t. Probably there are few herds where one or two unprofitable animals will not be found. It costs no more tx ieed and care for a ''good cow ihan a por one, so why waste grain and hay on one ne that does hot pay for her keep? Often it will be a surprise, to find what was considered one of the poorest cows in the herd showing the best test, an J proportionately disappointing to find the -favorite dropping behind some of the others, but remember that if prop erly manipulated the Babcock never errs. It is a detective whkh is unhes itatingly accurate in its decision! so do not think your preconceived.- ideas should have any weight if the test thows differently. To the man with ten cows th; Babcock machine is worth the pr.ee of a cow, yes, and a good, one at that No dairyman or "farmer should attempt to do business without one. As to the standard to set each cow should make 250 pounds of butter a year at the very least It takes all of 200 pounds to lurnisn ner w.in 100a :or n.. . . .-. . . a year, i ms leaves miy pounas oni as a profit but sine'e .the manure, ;skira milk. etc.. are worth something, we m-y say that the 250 pound cow will, pay for her keep aad give a small profit V : Yet it one sets out with the determin ation to bring up the average above this mark he will not find it very dim- cult to do it. Indeed the posibuities 01 intelligent care combined . with a iad cow, have rare!y been realised.- It is something not often attained. -r Farmers, j dtirymen, this matter is worthy your; careful consideration Do not be foolish enough to keep on year afier year in ;the haphazard way so com monly practiced of feeding your cows indiscriminately and pooling riieir milk, making and ! selling the butter with no idea of each animal's individual earn ings. -Without doubt there are robber cows in your herd and these are con suming the profits which the others give. Study on this question and find out "where ;.vv .are at. . Ffcrret out tbc. the unprotable animals .and dispose of them, giving the rest a chance to show the wh what they can do. iou may !e sur- prised to find that you are getting al- . . , B ? - 1 t i j t. m (ir a mn (iiiir.r e r. nr. urn i ic iiuinucr ui luw o i ecu aim uikc care of. . i 'Genesee County, Mich. GRAIN LOOKS FINE FARMERS BAIT FALL-SOWN CCRKALS NEVER APPEARED UETTER. Arrrsje sf Fmll Oimla Xot l"p to Anng Dcllrlcacy in nll Will lie tiop plted by Sprtne Crop. (Dialy Statesman, Salem, March 14.) Inasmuch as the climatic conditions ,of Oregon and Scotland are quite sim ilar, the old Scotch ad3ge "A peck of dust in March is worth a bushel of gold dust," suggests, itself with peculiar appropriateness at this season. In fact the passing of a vehicle over sections of Salem's streets yesterday was at tended by a visible cloud of dust With a contimation during the remainder of the week of the weather that accom panied Its introduction, dust will be in evidence oh all of the hishways. It is needless to remark in this con nection that the farmers are making the most of the present delightful weather which is especially favorable for agricultural work. The unreasonable weather that has prevailed avmajcrity of the time since last September, has great ly retarded agricultural work in the j valley. Ordinarily 2 two-thirds of the Uiiahl. arreatri. of th vallfv i pA,A to fall erain but the incessant rain of last fall prevented the seeding of the usual acreage, hence a greater amount of spring seeding will be done this sea son. An I extjerienced person yester day stated that the result of the condi tions would be a reduced acerage over that of last year. It is thought the .fall-sown and sprirg-sown grain will be about equally divided this season. ' Reports from all sections of the valley arc to the effect-that grain was never looking better than at the present time. The severe frosts of February 1st did not harm; the growing grain at all and it has now attained a good healthy .growth. The shortage in the wheat acreage may have some particular significance. The instituting of several creamery plants In the valley means that some attention j will be diverted from wheat raising and given to this industry which promises Ito prove one of considerable importance to the agricultural classes of the. vallev. WILL CASE HEARD CONTEST OVKR THE WICH8ER-BOOTII ;! ESTATE IN COURT. Arguments of the Respective Sides Before Jodgre Boise Yesterday on Appeal ; from Cuant j Court. (Dialy Sta;esman, Salem. Matfch 14.) Judge k. P. Boise's department of the state circuit, court for Marion' county was in session all of yesterday, when the appeal case in the matter of the last will and testament of Vercna Wichser-B-ooth came up for hearing on an ap peal from the county court. The en tire dy was taken up with the argu ments, the case being bitterly contested by the respective attorneys. The action grew out of 4he estates of the late Mrs. Verena Wichser-Booth, and: that of John C- Booth, deceased. .Mrs. Booth, in ifws. made a will, le q uta ih ing 3II her property to her rela-i tive. and the relatives of her deceased nusoany. t-ater sne oecame- tne wne 01 John C. Booth, and a year or so af ter, died. At that time no will was of fered for probate, and John C. Booth, die Only heir-at-law, was appointed ad ministrator, and came into possession of the property. Within less than one rear he, too, died, intestate, and his daughter. Miss Jeanette Booth, was appointed administratrix of the estate she being one .of four children and heirs of the late John C Booth and at once qualified and began administer ing the estate. At this time the will of Mrs. Verena Wkhser-Booth, deceased, made before -her marriage to John C. Booth, I deceased, was presented for proboate. .Miss Booth, administratrix of the. John C. Booth estate, by her attorneys, appeared before the probate court and argued against the admission of the will, on the ground that the mar riage of the testator, subsequent to the date of her will, invalidated the will, and that John C Booth, her husband, who succeeded to the estate as the heir-at-law,; came property into possession of the property, s and on his demise, it was properly tus, estate, and his child ren and heirs-at-law, were his proper heirs. !; The attorneys for the heir named in the w;ll ot Mrs. Verena Wichser-Booth, argued that the will was of ful! force and effect, that under the statute removing the disabilities of a woman the will of a married woman, made prior to her marriage, remained in full force, until a subsequent will set it aside, and that the heirs named in the will should properly come into possession of the estate. ' t 7 ; " County Judge G. P. Terrell decided in favor of the will, admitted it to pro bate, and appointed F. A. Turner as administrator with the will annexed, as both executors named in the will were unable to serve. From this decision Miss Booth appealed to the circuit court, and there the case was heard yes terday The arguments were conclud ed last evening and the cause submitted to the; court. TiJmon Ford and W. T. Slaters appeared as attorneys for the will, and J. N-; Brown and Attorney General D. R. N. Blackburn argned the caise on behalf "of -Miss Booth.

(Dialy Statesman, Salem,- March 14.) Although the Oregon Hop Growers Association hai not yet. succeeded "in disposing of the hops that 'have been placed in the pol, it is proving a help ful agency to the "members of the as sociation in other ways. ' The associa tion is purchasing supplies ..in whole sale lots which; is enabled to furnish the individual ! ferowcr t actual whole sale quotations.; The opportunity to thus procure sup plies at wholesale prices, is being very generally improved by the local asso ciations. Each: of the local organiza tions throughout the valley,, ascertains the quantity of? supplies that the mem bers of sucTi association may require and the order js sent to the officers of the state association who in turn make the purchase pf a reliable wholesale dealer. j . H. L. Bents of Butteville, secretary 6f the association, yesterday said there would be a reduced acreage in the hop crop for 1000. f He based this predic tion on the fact that the depressing conditions 1 with which growers were last year obliged to contend, would naturally have a tendency, to reduce the acreage. Mrj Bents also predicts a smaller- yield from a same acreapc. this vear, alleging that many growers will occcme more i neRi'Kem in - mc ram vaticm of' their? yards w-lwch will 'result in an inferior cjuality of hops. ; With the pfactical failure of last year's yield anil the inability to realize renumeratlve wages for the crop that was produced J .'growers have becoiue much disheartened. The state associa tion will maintain its organization, however, and icontinues to do every thing in its pxiwer to promote the inter ests of the grower, reHcve the a dverse conditions with . which had; to bat'e and make it possible for" him to realize fair returns for his product. 1 ' 'i . . . f It was yesterday reported, by reliable parties, that'll. 'J. Ottenheimer had nur-rbased the Oliver Beers lot of hops, in Mission Botton, containing about fiftv bales. atjS'i cents.! . Other sales were spoken jbf yesterday, but details are thus far lacking. yMI-QW TO BE GRACEFUL. Tell a woman that sfhe 'doesn'tknow how to ascend stair, gracefully';' that she has not the slightest conception "of the proper way in which to seat her self, or that she is lacking in any way in a knowledge of the little arts wih which the gentlewoman is supposed to xr conversant and it is ten to one' she will be indignant, and declare you don't know 'hat you are talking about, or else! she will) raise her, - eye brows in a supercilious sort or way and vow never to speak to you again. It is a fact nevertheless, that not one : woman in fifty understands the poetry of perR-ct pois, without winch knowledge it h as. imppssible to accom plish these thipgs correctly,; as it is for the small boy j to keepiout of the plo-i lasses jug when it is within easy reach ing di-stance. j Books iof etiquette give u no suggestions oti these subject. In these one (finds many rules: "Don't lap your visitor in the face when she asks for ouf mother," Don't tamp on a lady toes to call her attention," "Never ride ytur horse in the drawing room when yu are making calls," and many more sCK.h. all jtrue ami the best possible advice, but scarcely useful, es pecially in thd present instance. When one fus thoroughly mastered the art of grace one will find it easy to do almost anything, from falling down stair picturesquely f- to climbing a stepladder with the ejae and beauty of motion of theiangeUI in Jacob' dream. When one hs learned to control the joints and muscle of the body, a little thing like a ttlmble fown stairs ought not to catise jthe slightest discomfort; on the contrary, it is. a very excellent exercise in calji-sihenics. It :s only nec essary to Jet ionefelff go, without the least effort at jholdinlg back, to find a tumble of a good Might of stair a re ally refreshing undertaking.. tfowerer, as one must go up before one can come-oowni, perhaps it would be as well to learn how to go up stairs, beautifully and without fatigue, before attempting to descend in a tumultuous fashion. Most women are frights when ascending a lopff flighrof stairs, for the reason that they bend the -body for ward, throwing all the weight upon the toes.

The arms should be carried at the sides though they should swinfi only from the flight tnovenunt of the shoulders but never of themselves. These thing are not easily mastered.

To sit in a way that is artistic and at the same-time-) comfortable one should sit a little forward of perpendicular. Either in sitting or standing, if one would have fine at.itudes without think ing of; them, it is necessary to put the feet in the correct position and relax the mnscles. The force of gravity will make one graceful. The technique of limberness and softness of motion is acquired only through a thorough un derstanding of the mechanical laws which govern the body. Then, and rot until then, does one realize that the use of unnecessary muscles, and joints in either action or repose is always un graceftil a.:d jn bad. form. . One may ven cross one's limbs in sitting and be q'Jite elegant and grace--ful in doing :o. in (spite of the twaddle given tp.s by our grandmothers.

It is no un usual thing to see a girl with her knees crossed and her hands clasped over them, or sitting on a table or sprawl ing in some undignified attitude, with an all loo evident desire to appear mannish. . She certainly succeeds, but to what , purpose-5.e doesn't elicit the admiration of the men in so doing, for mannish women do not attract men. any tno.re than womaimh men attract wome n. - , -; Bowijng which 19 another branch of this art of grace, is very interesting, arid when done gracefully indicates a d'licafe; refinement and often nobility of person.
