All of which is' quite a commentary on the way modern education is inclined to teach the young idea how to shoot. .' s The Belgian hare business in Oregon is older than was generally known a short time ago." A lady near Turner in this county has been raising Belgians for two years, entirely for her own ta ble. W. W. Green, of Tangent; is the oldest breeder on the coast.Now those who have been breeding for meat are anxious to breed for "the iancy." Tins is the intention of the lady near Tnr ner, and all others of whom we iiave heard in Oregon. It seems to be a very fascinating industry. : Of late considerable agitation has been going on over the matter of using the feathers of insectivorous, and even less useful birds, as trimmings for la dies fiats. Various section 'joined in the protest against what they called .wan ton destruction of the winged tribes. and in some states even legislation was resorted to to lessen ; the evil. In the list of those localities that thought, the songsters of the woods and fields coiild serve a better purpose than that of mil linery appendages was New Jersey. It would seem, however, that its condem nation of the misuse of bird plumage stopped too short. Within the last' week or two, according to a news report, dif ferent parties over there tried to find a new channel for feathers by applying them in conjunction with tar as a skin cfvcring for people who had incurred local dislike. .If feathers are to be tabooed as ornaments this phase of the question is also worthy consideration. THE OREGON LESSON. Oregon -held a state election on Mon day last, and it was regarded by both parties as the only state to vote betore November that would be in any meas ure a fingerboard forecasting the result of the national battle in the fall, ill ad the state elected the fusion ticket, it would have been hera'ded from one end of the country to the other as conclu siye evidence of the strength of Bryan and free silver in the 'Pacific and other far Western states, but Oregon gave a large Republican majority on the dis tinct sound money platform and against a close .and complete fusion of, Demo crats, Populists and free silver Repub licans. ,!. ; . The Oreiron victory was heralded by the Republican journals as. clearly fore shadowing the sweeping -triumph of McKinlcy m the Pacific andt most of the far Western states; but the failure of the supporters of Bryan to carry Ore gon appears to nave called ahalt in the radical - policy of the party, and tt is quite possible that tpe Republican-victory in Oregon may do more than any other cause to endanger , Kcpubixcan success in November- Until the action of th-New York and Maryland ; Democratic state con ventions discarding the free silver is sue, it seemed lfiev table that a radical cheap money platform would be adopt ed by the "Democrats at Kansas City; but the Democratic conventions of th?e states, -while acccp ing Bryan as tfcfir candidate, did much to conserve the- radical Bryan elements. The Ore gon election, that conclusively points to Bryan's defeat in the Pacific and most of the far Western states, has made -the Democratic leaders take pause, and it is now quite probable that the Oregon disaster will greatly con serve the action of the "Democrats in tltetr national convention. .Two leading journals which actively support Bryan for President, the Chi cago Chronicle and the New Ytirk lournal.' have accepted the triiwiiph of Oregon a conclusive : against Bryan holding the far Western' states which were carried on the free5 silver issue four vear' ago. These nwst inrlnentiat of Bryan organs openly declare that. free silver can give -Bryan no strengtn in the West, and that the Democrats must shape their lines at Kansas City to make a hopelul battle in Indiana. Maryland, New oYrk, New Jersey and Connecticut, and that is now likely to be done as the logical outcome of the sweeping Republican victory in Oregon. I Thus, while the Republicans have w?n what under all ordinary conditions would be regarded as a -most important victory in Oregon, it is now more than probable that that 'Republican victory will change the Democratic attitude i in ihr comihe campaign and makc'Bryan vastly more formidable than he would have been hat Oregon elected te Bry an ticket, and thus alienated the great Eastern Democratic states by a radical cheap money national platiorm. The Oregon KepulMican victory may, rnerc f.r,. nrnve to be a soutce of the crav est peril to the partyv that -won it. It may seem paradoxical to say that win ning a state may endanger the success of the winning party, but it is. none the less the truth as to the recent uregon election. Philadelphia Times, v We do not believe there is any good foundation for the conclusions drawn by the Times. The American people are not so weak and J vacillating that they will follow a fragmentary party that. is hunt'ng in the dark for issues. knowing not its own mind and having no fixed principles. .The people of this country" will npt dejert the stand ards of the party that" standi for fixed and enduring principles. representing the bc-st traditions and aspirations of our national life and, virile American citizenship. There will be no chasing of rainbows : this year -no following ot any political will-o'-the-wisp. There is enough of saving good sense in ; our pcopk, not only in the "We t. but also in the North,, the East and the South, to avert any such national calamity as : j predicted by our Philadelphia contemporary. GROWING INDUSTRIAL SOUTH. The rapidity ' with which capital is pouring into Southern manufactures is enough to make the professional , Bry anites and coddlers of calamity in that region sniff and groan. The Manufact- rrers Review recounts some of the in dwstrial improvements projected in the last two weeks., In Georgia and South Carolina new cotton mills and adJi tions to old ones and the development of : water .power are the usnal story Cotton nills j to cost from $40,000 to $300,000 are to he erected in these states. in which' small mi-Is have been, paying enormous profits... In Georgia, at least. much of the capital for the new. enter prises connes from the Crackers ' them selves. Banks ' are springing up in the smaller towns. In Greenwoods a Pal metto village, a fire insurance company with a capital of $100,000 has been or ganized. From time to time we, read of New England cotton manufacturers who are going to move to the South. . In Tennessee a $500,000 cotton mill is to be built in Chattanooga and a dis used mill in Memphis is to be set to work. ; Coal mines are, opening, : coke ovens and futnaces are building. Satpe story in Alabama, where the Birming ham district is booming vigorously. Iron,; steel and cotton tj mills are busy and . hew ones coming: So it goes throughout the South.- j Lumberv mills, sawmills, oil mills, sugar mills mills of all sorts grinding of! getting ready to grind.; Technically the; Mississippians aljominate trusts, but they show no horror at the plan of a cottbnseeti ' oil combination to build a $joo,ooo refinery in one of their towns. In Texas. as any reader of. its country weeklies knows, every place that thinks even tolerably well ot itself Is howling for a mill. Cotton 'mills and oil mills are shooting up. 1 In spite bf their remark,- able Legislatures the dwellers beneath the Lone Star are willing to 'take all the root, of all evil they can grub tip; and the New York Sun reports that even that old scourge of the robber barons, the Hon. Roger Quarles Mills, has quit spouting and is letting oil wells spout or. him. r- ; Expansion and the Nicaragua Canal will add' wonderfully j to the already wonderful prosperity ol the South- And in the sure and vast -increase of busi ness and. rnarkets and, wealth A that lies 1 immediately before her, she cannoij cling for long to the ; wealth-proscribing policy of the Democratic party. In the bout between politics and business, politics will be knocked out. There is no reason that helps to" keep the Pa cific coast states in the Republican col umn, and in the, ranks ;of; progress, that does not apply with equal force to the Southern states. Both X; sections .want and peed the Nicaragua - canal ; v b0th want and need an American merchant marine; both will receive vast benefits from the policy of territorial and busi ness expansion; and both need the pro tection that., is afforded by the custom house charges on foreign goods coH peting with the 'products of this coun try. " The New South should be a Re publican South, and fit must be in time. ' ' ' ' i j . : One of the most encouraging things with the booming dairying business in the Northwest, and especially in the Willamette valley, is the act that it will oblige ihe farmers, to pay more atten tion to forage crops, and this will bring them to leguminous plants, which will conserve bite richness of the soil, and bring up its original fertility, in stead of wearing it out, as has been and is being done by "exclusive wheat growing. The farmers in the hills sur rounding Salem, for instance, will raise vetches and field peas, instead of sum mer 'allowing, and lboe in lire bot toms and on the jjrairfes . will produce clover and ; other forag-ev- crops best adapted to their soil and condition. This is beins done now more largely than ever before, and only a beginning has been made as yet. And then there will be more hogs and sheep and other stock, lor the farmers- wilt find that they can keep more cm their land when usedto its best advantage. And, after all, there will be a ; much grain raised as ever, in the rotation years. It will require a much smaller acreage to raise as much grain.under them system. There is opening up a magnificent era of prog ress for th Willamette , valley, for which f the dairying industry will be primarily responsible, but which will by no means end with.' the dairying in- dstry,"-;- '): ,1; ..' -: -..

Unt Marion county has ifive' public cream erics, either dinning or ' in course of construction viz: Two at Salem, and one each at Marion, Silverton and Stayton, besides ?. i nnmber of farm creameries and skimming stations and the indus try in" its present form is only, a lew months old.? There will be several oth er creameries in this county in a short time. But Marion Js hot at aft" jealous of Ilinn. There should be ten good cows milked in thcse two counties, ior every; one milked now, and there will be in time, i And this industry will do wonders for the Willamette valley. Th; hoof of the good miilk cow is golden. Boaratha t 9 m 'rrri THE On His r.Icrits Alone. Herman Berthold's f fine mansion, over-looking the Hudson was as-grand and stately as a pabce. It was mag nificently furnished with curiosity carv ed antique furniture, and its walls were hung with the portraits of the anjtor cratic Bertholds of past generations. " On a hnc summer $ day it was a scene of pictnresq'ie , beauty the breezes whispered and the tiiirds gos- fiped among the branches pi the ven erable oak trees one jreajestte lord oi the woods" shaded the favorite, sitting roont window of the golden-haired beauty, - Mildred. " ,l ; Presently;" hearing the-" sharp canter of a horse, she passed quickly yotf through the 4iall into! the room below, where an- old iiran; lay Sleepinir; then she ran arourrd1 the piazza, reaching the front just in time to meet a young 'than who was sauntering up the broad ave r-vii.v: i- f v; v !'.- "Winsome Mtldredf'i' Me , whispered, as she extended her hand in welcome; "you are not angry with me?

I-Jove you, Philip, with my i6le heart; and, thiis fovirrg you, am content to become your wife. Let nothing whatever 1 canse you to doubt Birdie's promise. . f , Skrwly and unwillingly she descended the stairs, after repeated summons, ac companied by Mme, t Rheinhaldt, hir heart beating rapidly as her grandfa ther, meeting her in the hall, extended his arm with courtly gallantry and said:! "Mildred, yoit are looking charming-! ly tonight, only a IriHe paler than usual ! Your lover has arrived amd 1 think will restore the' roses to your cheeks.

She entered the spacioTif parlor with eye cast down, in a, pouting, defiant mood, ready to- give wordy battle, . if need be. with this detected sfranger. i "Ernest, salute your Cousin Mildred!" she heard the- old gentleman say. Then, being conscious ot an advancing step, slowly raising her eyes, she ntteredt a cry? of astonishment and fell into the extended arms oi Philip Clayton. . "Mildred," said the yoang man, ten derly, "forgive my i deception;'" then, turning to Mr." Berthold, he contftuted: "Grandfather, allow! me to explain, ior yon seem surprised, sir, at the sadden change of allairs. ; ( ; j v , i.: ."Fearing" that my beautiful cousin would be sure to hate a man forced up on her as a' husband, and also desiring to know if, she possessed a loyal heart or a mercenary. one.

Then it jumped into the kitch ttV and 'struck Mrs, Lee in the foot, tearing her shoe off and giving her; a severe shock. An hour after the bolt struck her Mrs. Lee had recovered and fcjt no pain from the visit of the light ning's oolt except a burn on her .foot. There, were two. persons in the house at the time, Mrs. Lee and . Miss Katie Lte4 a young girl ot lourteen. irs. l.ee was standinsr hv a: table in the kitchen and Miss.

She had been out in the yard a-moment, and the shoes were suchtlv wet. Had the Shoes been absolutely, dry. it is; probable that she would have escaped- the shock alto- cether. A strange incident of the occurrence is that absolutely nothing in the kitch en where Mrs. Lee stood, shows any signs of having been struck. The room is in good order. ; HOW CHILDREN SPENT MONEY V An investigation was conducted re- ceutlv in: the Cleveland school of: St. Paul to. determine in general the no tion which children have of the practi cal uses of money. ' , . A list of questions was furnished by Prof. Ashcral't, which the -children an swered in writing; as in an ordinary ex amination. The questions sought to de termine the child's estifliate of money which he had acquired 111 three ditCer ent ways, namely, by -gift, suggesting restramt as to spending; by earning, rite, most diflKtiH nicans of acquiring, and by finding, by which he-acquired with least diutcuUy To these ends the foliwing questions were aked; ',.-.-' "If you Sre given money, about how much each week? ; "If you earn money about - how much each week?" v "What do you do with your money?" "If you ever found money. What did you do with it?" - "If you had $1 to -spend as you liked, what would you buy?" . It was found that ofi the 1,263 chil dren reporting. 6,2 per cent, earned, or were given money, or both, in ranging from 5 cents4o $j per week. Of those who thus received money 57 per cent. made useful disposition oi it, and oi the 256 children who had found money 8 per cent. fput it, to useful purposes.. A noteworthy characteristic of the an swers to the question relative to find ing money. ;was i that .64 per cent, of th-ose who had done so expressed hav ing made attempt . to restore it to the loser, and, that-82 per, cent, of those who had not found money stated that if they should do so they would try. to find.theowncT,". or "put it in the pa per," if a large amount, or give, it to the principal or teacher to be restored to the owner. Prof. Ashcrait ; regaids this, as indicating the honesty of chil dren -in general and as furnishing; a point or explanations by the ntaterial ists. who look upon ihe child asj a little savage an upon: boyhood and girlhood as a period of low moral tendencies. Of the? 067 children who gave specific answers as to what they would do with a dollar it allowed to spend it as they pleased, 02 per cent, would invest it in useful things, such .as . clothirig and book,s; 30 per. cent, would buy articles not mseful; t per cent, would use it for benevolent purposes, such as relieving the poor, and 5 per cent, would ' buy presents tor their mends. $100' Bernard ijUtM).- .
