THE UUW AGKE, JfORTLAND, OREGON. Farm land In England ranges in price from $00 to $120 an aero. The Kulscr has becomo an ardent violinist, and practices diligently and excruciatingly nt every opportunity. Moro emigrants left the United Kingdom and fowcr foreigners settled there In 1003 than In any year since 3880. The production of nickel in Ontario last year exceeded that of any previous year. Tho tolnl was 0,003 tons, vol udo at $2,400,003. In the South American regions, whero cattle are killed ly the tens of thousands for tho export of meat and hides, the bones aro used as fuel. Between Jan. 1, 100-1, and May 11, 1001, 135 days, thcro havo been under written nnd sold In tho United States securities aggregating over JGOO.OOO, 000. America's trade with Great Britain last year aggregated $1,000,000,000; next In Importance Is tho trado with Germany, which Is llttlo moro than ono-tlilrd as much. Count Zepplln, who wrecked hln air hip and at the same tlino his fortuno In Lako Constance, Italy, has raised $4,000 by subscription for tho purposes of building another ship. Tho chalk pits In Kent, 11 miles from London, arc found to bo extcnslvo an cient British cavo dwellings connected by galleries which extend for miles. Near tho center Is a Druldlcal tem ple. Bcnlamln S. Moore, of Elizabeth, N. J., recently celebrated his COth year of actual scrvlco with tho Central Hall road of Now Jersey. For 53 years straight running ho has been a locomo tlvo engineer. In tho provlnco of lower Burma, In dia, near tho Slamcso frontier, tin de posits havo roccntly been discovered nnd valuablo coal Holds located. Tho tin oro Is said to bo of as high a qual ity as that mined In tho Straits settle ments. Mrs. Crnlglo (John Oliver Ilobbcs), lecturing In Manchester, said that men to-day wcro losing tho deslro for Im mortality. They desired no moro to live forovcr, but Instead to live as pleasantly as posslblo hero and now, bo said. "One of tho most significant signs of the tendency of modern thought," says the Now York Christian Work and Evangollst (Presbyterian), "Is supplied by the increasing attention which men of science aro devoting to religious sub jects." There Is In Sweden a movement, supported, it Is said, by tho govern ment, to tax all concerns and perform ances given by artists who aro not Swedish subjects, tho tax varying from $1.50 to $55 each concert, according to the amount of money taken for tickets. According to a recent report of tho Geological Survey, tho total unthraclto production for 1003 was 00,851,713 tons. Tho nverago prlco of $2.50 brought tho valuo up to $152,030,-1-18. Tho number of men employed to uitno tho output, which amounted to 0,000, 000 moro tons thnu In 1002, was 150, 403. Tho President of tho British Board of Trado stated, In answer to a ques tion In tho Ilotiso of Commons, that tho average annual onrulugs of adult males employed In tho principal Indus trial and agricultural occupations In tho United Kingdom In a year of av erage employment might bo estimated approximately at $350 each. Tho campnlgn of 1810 had a dram atlo and unexpected sequel. Thurlow Weed, before the meeting of tho Whig convention, sought out Webstor and urged htm to take second placo on tho ticket with Harrison, but tho sugges tion was rejected with scorn. An ac ceptance of Weed's advice would have made Webster President In llttlo moro than a year. The Income tax was Introduced Into England by William Pitt In 1700 under tho stress of tho French war. It ceased in 1810, but was revived by Sir Robert Peel In 1842, and extended by Glad tono in 1853. From being a tempo rary war tax It has now become a permanent part of tho British financial system, and Is resorted to by every Chancellor who finds himself In dltti cultles. 1,000 PATENTS GRANTED. Oaa Ysar'a Heault of Inventive Genius in the Windy City. One tboutaud patents a year are granted cltlxens of Chicago. Illinois stands seventh In tho list of states that take out patents according to population, Connecticut and Massachu setts still holding their own for native ingenuity. Alaska and Alabama, first in tho alphabet, aro at tho foot In patent winning. The patent reports In tho Chicago public library were last year consult ed botween 80,000 and 00,000 times by 17,000 persons, uoino of them patent lawyers or tholr clorks, but tho ma jority those contemplating Inventions, and therefore seeking to learn wheth er their Ideas had already been antici pated. A certain pcrcentago of visitors aro "perpotual motion crunks." There Is nothing for them in tho reports, so they ask for tho Sclcntlllc American and similar papers that contain arti cles on that subject. Their errand can almost Invariably bo detected on their entering tho room and uddresslug tho attendants. There Is a restless, fev erish look and a nervous action be traying tho disturbance of mind and tho unbalanced ambition that has put them on this quest. While they sel dom If over exhlbl', anything approach lug Insanity, or even n lack of self control, It la easy to see Unit they live near tho lino that is said to dlvldo genius from madness. There is never any outbreak, but tho differ enco botween them and tho ordinary visitor is unmistakable. They at least know exactly what they aro after and do uo( havo to bother with llndlug out wliotuor they aro likely to Infringe on iouio already successful unullcuut. Among tho patonts for oddities granted Chicago cttlzons last year is one for a bag filling machlno, a clothes lino prop, a churn, a dustpan, a non rcflllablo bottle, a "box," a convertible billiard table, a tobacco pipe, a safety coat hook, though hooking coats Is al ready safo enough In Chicago, a cheek expanding pad, a noso pleco for -eyeglasses, a tipping shelf for garbage, an Improvement on governors, a "model burglar alarm," Implying that Chicago burglars aro models, a "con trlvanco for muting violin strings," and a pocket for golf balls. Thcro was ono also for "on attachment to bridles," though not llko the bridle tho convict said ho was sent up for ten years for stealing, becauso n horso happened to bo attached to tho other end of It Among tho 1,000 patentees were a dozen women.' Ono Invented a hair retainer, another a dress shield, an other a 'cooking utensil," another n dress fitting stand, but It seems to havo taken a man to turn out a wom an's skirt, a garter and a kitchen table. Chicago Tribune. ROMANCE OF A FARM. After Many (Jcncrntlone In One Family It Has Become an Orpliannge. A romantic story, ono In which a number of stirring Incidents aro re lated, Is told of a llttlo farmhouse and forty-seven acres of land that havo been turned over to a great church or ganization for an orphanage. The property Is located on tho main lino of tho Northwestern road, about two hours out from Chicago, and ad joins tho little village of Nachusa. Tho land was handed down from genera tion to generation by n family of the I'amo of Dysart. By a member of this lamlly It was originally tnken up from tho government, and remained In tho lamlly until It fell Into tho possession or Colonel Aloxander Dysart, who for years was ono of the best known citi zens of the Bcctlon. Ho was a man of homo eccentricities, but beloved by tho whole community. Ho raised a family of sons, threo of whom becamo engi neers on tho Northwestern road and aro now running trains. Tho colonel, during his llfetlmo, Improved tho old home, which In early years was but n cabin, until It assumed the proportions of a lino country homo. Ho surround 1 It with a doublo row of plno trees, and theso for miles may bo seen from points along tho road. When Uio colonel was well along in years ho fell In lovo with a x widow, and against tho wishes of his family married her, only to bo divorced In a few years. Within sight of tho Dysart homo was tho farm of Peter" Burham, a fcturdy Gorman, tho father of an in dustrious family. Among the children was a daughtor, Mary, who grew up to be as pretty a lass as could bo found In all Lee county. A farmer's daugh ter, she In duo time becamo a fanner's wlfo, marrying Henry Hhlppert. Both husband and wife had not ono but sev eral farms of rich Lee county land, but after tho body of old Colonel Dy sart was laid to rest and tho property was offored for sale, Mrs. Hhlppert bought It Then sho proposed to tho Evangelical church, of which sho is a member, to convort tho llttlo farm Into an orphanage. Tho church accepted tho charge and recently the homo of tho kindly old colonel was dedicated to Its noblo purpose. Chicago Tribune. BURDEN OF GREAT WEALTH. Its 1'obmchIoii Imparts Olillutloiia thut Cuiiuot'lle Ignored. Doubtless there Is a certain sort of happiness In making money, In being successful In business, and there aro many who tako moro pleasure In mak ing, In accumulating money than In Its possession, say the Nashvlllo American. Doubtless, also luhorlted wealth tends to destroy ambition, per sonal energy nnd that spirit of activity calculated to develop tho best that Is in man, Tho man who is born rich and who has no need to labor for a living should II nl unending pleasure In. the Improvement o( his mind; In wander ing amid tho delights of tho Hold of literature, or of art, or of science; In travel and observation of this mighty world and Its changing wonders; In en tcrtalubig friends in a rational rather than lijra fashionable way; In dispens ing thoughtful charity and benefac tions; In laboring, In the many ways offered, for tho Improvement of man, of tho homo, of government; in oh, well, there aro so many ways a man or woman of healthy mind and Inher ited wealth might attain happiness It seems absurd to suggest at random any of the methods through which contentment of mind and peace of ul may be achieved. Tho man of wealth who lives In, with and for his money, who thinks only of himself or hie Immediate fam ily, lives a narrow, mean and selfish life, and wealth can hardly glvo him any moro satisfaction than it can glvo a monkey, a prtso pig or a pet dog. Tho possession of wealth Imparts ob ligations which cannot Ihi Ignored without a resulting penalty Imposed by the law of compensation. Wealth, inherited or acquired, should bo a stimulus to tho noblest ambition, to tho nearest approach to uuselllshncBs, to efforts to add to the sum total of human happiness and to tho dissipa tion of Ignorance.
