The first suit growing out of the Rio disaster, has been filed by Mrs. Sarah Guy on, who demands $20, 000 for the loss of her busbund, Henry Guyou, who was drowned in the wreck. After nearly 30 years of constant '.-(Tort and great expenditure it is ascertained that the earth's diame ter through the equator is 7,926 miles; its height from pole to pole, 7. 809 miles, A plan has been perfected by a I.yonB (France) cloth weaver, by which the wool on a sheepskin can be converted in velvet. Until re cently, unshorn sheepskins have been chiefly used for rugs and car pets. The right to vote is not valued very highly in Mississippi. It is officially stated that 146,277 citi zens in that state have lost their right to vote for two years by fail ing to pay their poll tax. About one-fourth of these are whites. The Duchess of Marlborough snubbed the Prince of Monaco, by declining his courtesies when visit ing the great gambling resort of his dominions, and when asked for an explanation replied that she ob jected to associating with a "gam bling hell keeper." A. G. Waite, of Waverly, Mo., stands six feet eight inches .in hiB stockings. He is one of a family often, all of whom are tall. He had a brother whose height was 7 feet eight inches. The smallest in the family is a sister who is six feet three inches. Vegetarians came out ahead in a recent 100 kilometer (64 miles) walking match at Berlin with a time limit of eighteen hours. Out of the twenty-two competitors, eight of whom were vegetarians, only six, all vegetarians, covered the distance in the time specified the winner finishing in 14 hours and 15 min utes. Photographing objects solely by the light from the planet Venus, has been successfully accomplished. The experiments were conducted within the dome of the Smith ob servatory at Geneva, N. Y., so that all outside light was excluded ex cept that which came from VenuB through the open shutter of the dome. At the close of a performance given as a benefit to Jno. Brougham, the aotor and dramatist, one of the audience threw upon the stage a purse of gold. Brougham picked it up and after examining it said, "Ladies and gentlemen, circum stances compel me to pooket the in sult, hut," looking grim, "I ehould like to see the man who would dare to repeat it!" It has just been discovered that a strip of land of 250,000 acres, near the boundary line between Wiscon sin and Michigan, lies in neither state. In it is the city of Iron wood, Mich., the remainder being between the Brule and Paint riverB The question has arisen as to whether or not official aots, such as marriages and land transfers in tho strip, are valid. Lumbering is at a niandslill in the woods north of Bangor, Me. Tho enow is five feet deep, aivl so soft that it is prnctioally impossible for horses to move through it. In many camps the provisions have run short, and it is with the great est difficulty that food for the men can be obtained. Wtare the fed- NO. 12. dor for the horses has become ex hausted, it is practically impossible to secure more oats and grain, and there is great danger that many horses will have to be shot to pre vent their starving to death. 1 It is a common fallacy that im pure" water becomes sterilized at a temperature of 32 degrees. ' One of the most curious facts about bac teria is that while a single ray of sunlight will extinguish the life of innumerable hordes, and while a very moderate increase in the tem perature around tbem will have the same effect, they are absolutely un injured by any degree of cold. Burglars are said to seldom re ceive more than 20 per cent of the value of their booty from the buyers to whom they dispose of it, if it happens to be in any other form than coin. A fifty-dollar Bank of England note will bring about $10 from a buyer, while $500 worth of plate would be worth only $75 or $100 to the thief, who must risk years of liberty in obtaining it, and so on with all other valuables. A little New Zealand girl recently wrote to ask Mark Twain if his real name was Clemens. She knew better she said, because Clemens was the man who sold patent medicine. She hoped not, for she liked the name of Mark. Why Mark Antony was in the Bible 1 Her' letter delighted its re cipient. "As Mark Antony has got into the Bible," Mr. Clemens char acteristically remarked, in telling about it, "I am not without hopes myself." An old time Arizona woodchopper says the blue jays have planted thousands of the trees now growing all over Arizona. He Bays these birds have a habit of burying small seeds in the ground with their beaks and that they frequent pinion trees and bury large numbers of the small pine nuts in the ground, many of which sprout and grow. He was walking through the pines with an eastern gentleman a short time ago, when one of these bird: flew from a tree to the ground, stuck bis bill in the earth and quickly flew away. When told what had happened the eastern man was skeptical, but the two went to the spot and with a knife blade dug out a sound pine nut from a depth of about an inch and a half. Thus it will be seen that nature has plans of her own for forest perpetuation. A mother whose daughter is her sister-in-law, and two brothers who bear the relation of father-in-law to son-in-law is a portion of a wedding that took place in San Francisco about a year ago, and which has just come to light. Mrs. Genung, a widow, rtarried Wedmore Jones, in 1887. The widow has a daugh ter. After a time a brother of the stepfather came to visit the Jones, and fell in love with the stepdaugh ter. They were seoretly married about a year ago, and the wedding was kept secret until last week when a friend of the Jones happened to discover the fact on the record of the county recorder. With the dis covery of the secret marriage the confusing relationship of the fam ily has been discovered. It is in deed a rare combination that makes the young hnuband and wife uncle and niece by marriage, that makes the mother and daughter sistors-iu-law, the young brother the step-son-in-law of the elder. Confusing thouch it is, it is true that Wed more Jones is his own step -daughter's brother-in-law, while by the 3auie reasoning it would seem his wife is really his Bia'.er-iu-law by marriage. Jones junior can regard his mother in-law as his Bistor-in- law if he ohooees. Then again, if Miti. Jones, Jr., is her own mother's sistur-in-law, it must be she is her own rtunt by lw, for if she is L r own husband's niico she muat be her own sunt.

The San Francisco quotation for Oregon Burbanks is GO cents to $1 per cental. The market for Oregon Garnet Chilis shows no improve ment, although stocks are not heavy. They are quoted at 65 to 75 cents per cental. ' It is time now to think aboot th . supply of green feed for the fowls ira midsummer. Clover, alfalfa, rap. cabbage, etc., will fill the bill tinder suitable conditions. When no fresh-,, u!-culent food can be found and thu worms are deep in the dry, hard ground, the hens are not likely to thrive. There will undoubtedly be a large) increase in the area devoted to onions in Oregon this year as a re sult of the high prices which have) been paid the past winter. Whether the increase in production will ba great enough to bring the- pric down to unprofitable figures no one can now foretell. :hai:l R. M. Kellogg, the well known grower of pedigreed strawberry plants, says that within ten year every successful nurseryman wilt be required to show his .patrons the) pedigrees of all the buds, scions and runners which he uses in propagat ing trees and plants, and that the general adoption of the pedigre plan will result in a marvelous im provement in the quality pi fruit. Oregon now has the same stand ard legal weight for a bushel of oats as most of the other states 32 pounds. It is much better to have this standard instead of the old standard uf 30 pounds because it will give the state a better showing in the reports of the yield of oats per acre, and it will avoid confusion ; in comparing the price of oats- in, this state with the price in other states. There are probably a number of hens in nearly every flock which Io not lay enough eggs to pay for their keeping. If in epite of this fact the) flock is profitable it is yet an tra- u.uuwau.u f."" --"I' " ' .-. not earn their living. It is not very ' easy to find out under common farm methods which hens pay their way and which do not, and for that reason it is the more important tor keep only the best laying breeds;. Possibly the most important thing; ' needed now on the greater part of ' the farming lands of the Pacific northwest is more humus that iV vegetable matter. The lack of humus makes land suffer from drouth as -well as increases the tendency ' of ' clayey lands to get hard and cloddy as they dry out. In western Ore-- - gon it will be an easy matter to re- -store the humus by adopting a sys tem of rotation of cropB, growing ' clover, vetches, rape, etc., feed on the farm all the forage grown there- -on and using properly the manurev The common 'complaint that oar summers are getting d ryer will dis appear when the humus is restored; to the soil. The weather records show that no material change has taken place in the amount and season of rain fall since the country has been settled. . , 0 Was PiMMatee. cm. ' 1
