Previous to July H, 15jS, Mount Ban dai, a tine-cleft peak, 499 feet in height, was the most conspicuous object in the mountain range lying from 100 to 150 miles north of Tokio, the chief city of Japan. On the day mentioned, it was literally "rent in twain" and "blown off the face of the earth" by the expansive power of steam which had generated within it. From the earliest times of which there is any record, streams of cold water had len plunging under the peak on one side, and escaping in the shape of steam and Killing hot water on the other. That the ''escape valve" was not sufficient to let oiTall the steam generated in the passage of the water through the red hot interior of the peak is evident because of the fact that when the pressure became too great the sides of the mountain yielded, just as a boiler would have done under like rireuni- etances, and an immense explosion was the result. The explosion is said to have been heard a distance of over 1000 mile, and to have caused absolute darkness in the vicinity of the exploded peak upwards of three hours, il iring which time perfect torrents of hot water and mud were ponred down from tne irumee heights to which thev had been hurled bv the force of the "pent-up furies" which caused the disaster. The debris which fell after the explosion covered an area of 44,000 acres to a depth varying from 10 to 100 feet on an average, and in one place, where a beautiful valley had ex isted but a few hours before, rock and mud were piled up to the height of 000 feet. Three villages were engulfed in the ruins, and at least 500 inhabitants killed by falling debris, or drowned and cooked in the torrents of boiling mud, which flowed down a valley to a distance vi nine miles. JThese facts were gleaned from a report mad by a visiting committee appointed - by theunivertity of Tokio. ,!.V tifPORTAXT SVBJhCT. 'Tiie i.flreri'un Farmer and Farm Xews, published tf Springfield, Ohio, has the following to" )' concerning feed ing wheat to fogs : "As we go to press wheat jn the local market is worth 43 cents and oats 36 cents per bushel. A farmer friend, who dropped into our office fcr a fev minutes, told us that at these prices iie should sell lis oats and feed his wheat, and in Our opinion this is a wise decision. Last fall w knew of some experiments in feeding wheat to hogs when they were worth five cents a pound, and the re sult indicated that a little over a dollar a bushel was got out of the wheat. The j wheat in this case was coarsely gronnd j and fed in the shape of a thick slop with a small ration of corn, There is no doubt that pork grown on this kind of feed will be sweeter, firmer and in every ray better than that made on corn as the principal food, and for home nse it would be better to make it on this sort of feed even if It cost a little more. It is probable that corn may be sold and wheat kept for feed this year. In feed ing wheat to horses care must be taken not to over-feed. We have some new feed problems brought to our notice by the coming together of prices of our staple crops in the manner that now ob tains, and we need all the light that we can get to determine what it is best to Jo." ' ' .4 WOULD HE ATI'. II. Jiiuce Flora Temple set the horsemen , reader, the every day working side stays wild with what was then considered a j at home with the farmer. He has his phenomenal record, the trotting horse j bills to meet, hia troubles and annov has steadity improved, the record being tnceg, and perhaps in as great or trreater reduced almost every year, except when such wonders as Karus Ootdsmith Maid ! or Nancy Hanks has set the mark for! two or three years. Yesterday all pre vious harness records were broken by Robert J., a pacer, belonging to J4 C. Hamlin, at Fort Wayne, Indiana. Alix, the queen of the trotters, had just set the crowd of 0000 people wild by trotting without a skip a mile in 2.0-V.,, when Robert J. was brought on the track, making the mile in 2.03,l, the fastest every made. It is quite probable that before the rear 1900 the record will be 2. The growth of Portland is the grow th of Oregon, and we congratulate ourselves as well as the city on the splendid chow ing. With a revival of business her growth will be rapid, and in another ten years she will begin to crowd up towards the 200,000 mark. So mote it be. an to the r.i;u. There comes a time in the life of ul most everyone who dwells in u crowded city when he U seized with a longing to no back to country life. This may I instinctive, because we came from the ' earth, and we never lose our love for j mout.-i.

That paper has been interviewing some f,f tii ir.inroo a farmers of Minnesota on the subject of national and home affair, and from them we extract the following: " prosperous and intelligent farmer was' discussing the events of the last year; the financial p.nicthe unexam - pled business depression, the industrial unrest and the progress of a rebellion against the government, which, tf not arrested, would have ended in civil war. Well,' he said, as he rose to go, 'I am going back to my farm and let the old world go its one gait. I am happy there. Nothing disturbs me. In the worst vears that can come I will have plenty to support my family. 1 will have my books and papers and know what is going on outside, but I am eafe. Panics and trade revulsions do not af fect nie at all, and even a revolution would hardly disturb me in my quiet nook. " There is our dream of Utopia. The , . . ...

As 1 a rule the farmer nover becomes a mil- ' lionaire, and he is depnved of many f the so-called luxuries of city life. But, after all. he lias the best of it. He has within Iu4 nnrn inmntn all tho rpsi'iii n-pa ; of materia, happineM- JUs is) toil. some life, but life without struggle would be worthless. His compensation is the independence he enjoys, and, with industry and frugality, absolute as-1 surance against want. ( ne cause of our J present industrial trouble lias been the tendency of our young men within re cent years to desert the farm, and flock to the cities. They must go back to the farm. They are needed there, and they are not needed in the cities. There is employment awaiting all the idle men of this continent on our Western farm ing lands. Here in Oregon there are opportunities for millions. Telegram. There is much that is true in the above article : much that is pleasant to think of and to dream about ; much more pleasant indeed to treat in that manner than to experience. The farm er's life is in tome respects independent. but it is not all the poetic dream that 1 writers paint it. It is the hardest! worked and most poorly paid pursuit, taking it in all its branches, that is fol-, lowed by mankind. Dreamers and theorists paint the life of the farmer as j one of happy independence, from care, i annoyance and want. They farm in Utopia; but in that nnsentimental world where the farmer wrestles with climate and soil and weeds to pluck from the eartli. his daily bread, the poetry is not conspicuoDs. Farming is the noblest of all occupa tions ; the most necessary, and in many respects the least satisfactory. That it is so is to much the more to the credit of those who realizing its hardships, still pursue it. The pensive editor drawing a picture of peaceful homelife on the farm, would hesitate a long while before he would consent to even try to earn his living that way. The case is like that of a slave who escaped into Ohio. A ' gentleman out of curiosity asked him if be was not treated well, and got an affirmative answer. "Plenty to eat, didn't you?" said he. "Yes, eah." "Comfortable clothing?" "Yes, sah." "Cared for when you were sick?" "Yes, sah." "So then you had good clothes, plenty of food, light work and in fact a very good place, then why did you leave?" "Well, tah," said the recent slave, "the job am still open and you can hab it." it is so with firming, the I pretty side of it gets into print for the I decree than the merchant or professional ' man THE EVILS OF QUACKEHY Another serious obstacle to legitimate income is the quack medicine trade. Quackery is medical practice comercial i.ed, and therefore prostituted. It thrives because tlie victims are in the majority and are easily reached by lying advertisements. "What is the propor tion of sensible people in this crowd?" asked a patent medicine man of a physi cian. "About one in ten," was the answer. "I take the nine and leave the one to you," said the quack. This rep resents the majority which help to make the quack rich. The nostrums cost almost nothing ; but the capital is used in advertising; in making pictures of the idiots and feeble-minded who Imag- ine theinfelvct cured: in placarding fences; in defacing (cenery ; in publish ing manufactured certilicales ; In ridii til ing fcientitic medicine ; in alarming the credulous ; in claiming false din merit's ; and in vaunting impossible result. lint , these aie the men who make the money. Medicine to them is the tiickel-in-the-slot machine. The diagnosis is ready made to suit every need, and even other wise scn-tiblo peoplo are being educated , into quackery, and into the belief that every man can l Ii'ih ow n doctor and not have a fool for a patient. lr. lieu. .

When this idea of the benefit to be obtained from hanging on a street-car strap came to me I saw at once n way to get the women nf the country to take the much-needed exercise. I now eniiit them to stand purely from hygienic reasons. 1 think the women should have the exercise that they require. and no gentleman should allow hi sense of politeness to interfere with!

The 'Hercules beetle can support and even lift a weight equal to more than five hundred times the weight of its own Ixxly. It is as if a man were able to raise from the gronnd on his back a weight of more than one hundred and twenty tons Or ht fiaps a better idea would be conveyed by naying that to equal thi:i a man would have to lift five hundred other men. The Ilea is also possessed nf j marvelous strength and activity. It can leap more than two hundred times its own height and dratf along more than eighty times it own weight. This, says the Brooklyn Kagle, is as though a man con hi, from a standing position, lc leap over the UilTel tower, or walk around bearing on hia shoulder, as an ordinary burden, the carcuss of an elephant. M. Plateau found that a cockchafer can. draw fourteen times its own weight, and that a lx-e can draw twenty times its own weight. From which he argues thut a cock chafer is, weight for weight, twenty times stronger than a horse, and a bee thirty times stronger than one. At the same time insects which expend much power in rapid flight ore not capable of Ix-aring much additional weight to that of their own bodies. Some can carry a weight equal to their own. but as a rule not one cm fly with anything heavier than itself. For n)t. The Union street lodging house. Ft r terms apply to Geo.

As ugainst the :..ihhi British fam ilies with incomes of "S.'.'i. ooo a year or larger, the famous tabulation made by Thomas (J.

A writer in the Amcr can Journal I Psveholo.'V for this year discusses the subject from the view of common ex-, periemv. and presents some facts that are interesting us well l. . leading In their directness, lie say.; "The head, of a factory employing three thousand j workmen said: -We reckon that iidisii-, grceuhlc day yields ubout ten percent. lessw. i',; tiinn u delightful day. iindj we thus have to count this as a factor in our prollt and loss account.- Aeei dents are more, numerous in factories, on bad days.

It Is not strange if the eye. e. g.. which wantsj the normal stimulus in long, dnrki weather, causes other changes." J Temperament is a fundamental fac tor in sensitiveness to atmospheric' changes, that type of It called the mental being the nune intcr-dy tif-J fcetcd. while the bilious type :.i :;, ex-j hihit Ivy comparison the niorecapricioiis or morbid impressions, says the I'reiio logical .h.nrmil. The mental mani festation:., us a rule, however, depend upon the organism prinnrily. If the culture is ;n.od. i. e ; the f aculties have been trained to i o-oi ilinate, harmoni-' ous uctioii. and the elements that con-1 tribute to serenity and self control have Wen well developed, weather conditions will but operate like other narts of the environment, and i. "" training will shi.w adaptation undself repression. The "nervous." excitable, irascible person is he who has not learned to control feeling mid expres sion mul it is he who tiuds fault with his surroundings and imputes uncanny conduct to them. That there are ftine tiotial stiitcsof the hotly thut predispose one to mental depression or exhilara tion we are ready to admit.
