The event of this week in Oswego was tlie social hop (liven by the ladies of M isleto Lodge Xo. -V, P. of 11., last evening in Prosser's hall. There was a splendid attendance, first class music, ioe cream ami rake of the finest quality, ami for those who were coUl-bloodcd hot cotfe and sandwiches of unrivalled excellence. Taken all in all it was a grand success both socially and financially, "d great praise is due the ladies who labored hard to make it so. A brother-in-law of J. It. Manning, Mr. Tere, Irom Nebraska, arrived in Oswego on last Sunday. He d.vve through, bringing his family with him. He left Nebraska in April, and was detained some time on ac count of sidkness. He is much pleased with Oregon. Says he lived in Nebraska fifteen years and got five crops in that time, and is glad that he has reached a section of country where it rains occasionally. 0. W. Prosser ic con ti Ned to his bed again with a severe cold. James Monroe is very sick at his borne in Old Town. He took a severe cold while picking hops and it seems to have settled on bis lungs. Rev.

Smith and Charles Worttiington, who have been making charcoal on the Co lumbia lor one of the canneries, have re turned home. Wm. Worthington, who removed his family te Stella in the state of Washington, bas returned to Oswego and expects to make this his home in the future. E. A. Knotts, of Durham's Mills, had 04 boxes of hops, picked from 10 acres. Who beats it? The bop pickers have abeut all returned to their homes, and Oswego seems a bit more lively. But still we do not bear the sound ol the big whistle at the furnace. Pig iron bas advanced to a price that would make it profitable to manufacture here. What is the matter? That is the problem that is puzzling Oswegoites. America. CANBY SEWS. line Hop Crop-Bit; Yield of Prunes -School to Commenee-Streec Lamps Stolen. Cahby, Sept. 25. Hop picking is over.

The Man Woo Tried It and the Way Hie Schema Worked, Colonel Henry Watterson tells a story of an old compositor whose life had been given rap to bard work and the fol lowing of eccentric ideas, one of which was that the human race slept too much. He had several theories to ad vance in support of his idea. One of them was to cat down the usual num ber of sleeping hoars by gradation and finally arrive at a state where, by prac tice, one would be satisfied with a much smaller amount of sleep than one was getting. To show his confidence in his theory he began to practice the new idea as follows: He usually slept nine hours. He explained that he would cut this down to 8 K hours for each week that passed until he had reduced his number of sleeping hours to two, which, he claimed, was all that was needed by any one. The time went by, and the old fellow had kept to his rule laid down and finally reached the two hour time. He went along for several weeks Bleeping but two hours daily, devoting the time gained in reading and advo cating his idea. While there was a no ticeable decrease in his weight, he seemed to stand it very well Then he began to talk of further re ducing the time, and when enthusiastic talked of the possibility of one doing without sleep entirely. He set type and was an old hand on the paper. One morning about three Weeks after he had reached his low Bleeping mark the compositor at the case next to his noticed the old man had dropped his head upon his arms, that were folded over the case. It was near quitting time. All the forms were np, and the old chap was not disturbed. He had gone to sleep. The office was soon deserted, with the exception of the janitor and the sleeper. The janitor was instructed not to bother him. The next day when the first men ar rived he was still sleeping as tbey bad left him and snoring so hard that he jarred the type in the case on which he rested. Some one told his wife where he was, and she concluded to let him sleep. He slept on in that position for 20 hours. Then they carried him to a bed at homo, still slocrjins. He sleet for 82 i hours, and when he woke up he had for gotten how to set type and had to learn to read again, although his memory was rod in other rcumctu. Exchange. Batching Chicks by Electricity. A few years ago the suggestion that chickens would ever be hatched by steam would have brought down no end of ridicule on the head of the prophet, and yet today steam is recognized by experts to be the most efficient means of incubation, and now the novelty is the hatching of eggs by means of an electric incubator. The special feature of this machine is that the heat of the egg drawer is automatically regulated to the fiftieth part of a degree F. It consists of a tank incubator, heated by radiation from the bottom of a water tank, which la constructed on the multitubular sys tem, Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World's Fair Highest Medal and Diploma, WHY IT PAYS TO GROW CLOVER. A. Kiplfthtril to liny Farmer hy The Ituml New Yorker. It is a fact that the roots of timothy Ire about as long niul heavy us those of clover. When timothy la cut for hay and perm it ted to grow up again the second growth to bo plowed wider it will probably weigh quite n lit tin more, in rowon nml roots, than a clover crop treated in the same way very neatly twice as much, according to experi ment at the Stum Agricultural soIuhiI. It is also true that clover dire out lit the end of two yours, for the sanio reason that oats, wheat nml ryo die tit tho end of one year, Itecnuse they have lived to the end of their lives, and will not con tinue to put up new blades and steins from their roots year after year as tim othy dlHS. As to selling, prime timothy ranks far nltove clover in tho markets. This i is not because it is more nutritious, ur because it contains more actual food to j the ton, but because it is better suited j to feed to horses. Yon never hear of people preferring timothy to clover j for feeding cows, sheep or any other j stock thut provide anything but work in return for their food. Timothy is j peculiarly the hay for horses, because it is the best rough forage to feed with tho big rations of grain these animals j receive. It is also surer to seed, cheap- j er to cut and enre and easier to handle, i and will sell for a greater price per j ponnd. Why, then, should a hay farmer raise j clover at all? The chief reason is Unit it does a work that timothy never can j do. Floating all about us in the air lire ! vast storea of nitrogen which have es- caped from former combinations that held it in a solid form. Nitrogen can take the form of a solid or a gas like ice and steam. Nitrate of coda, for ex ample, is a solid that looks much like salt. Heat this with a fierce heat, and the nitrogen in this nitrate would go away in the form of u gas and remain in tho air. And so from our fires and from the decay of plants and animals, nitrogen escapes into the air, where it is lost so far as most of onr plants can make use of it, unlctui it be washed out of the air by raius and snow. This nitrogen is the most valuable of fertilizing substances. When wo buy it in fettilizi-rs, it costs 17 cents a pound. The chief reason why clover is more valuable than timothy is that the former can in some way make use of this "free nitrogen" in the air, while timothy can rise only the nitrogen that Is in the soil. The timothy gives yon back what you feed it, while the clover not only does that, but also brings back to the soil in a solid form a part of the nitrogen that hud previously gone away as a gas. Your timothy makes you buy nitrogen for it. while the clover makes you a present of it. By nsing crops of clover and cheap phosphoric acid and potash, yon can keep np the fertility of your farm and continue to sell good crops. By raising nothing but timothy, you will have to buy nit rogen in addition to the other suit- stances. Just look at the difference between a ton of clover and a ton of tinothy : POrKIlg Ui ONE TON. Nilro- l'hi. i'ot- Mammal gen. add. as't. value. Timothy 40 11 art t W I Clover 14 40 5 W That shows you that timothy is made to sell, while clover is mude to feed, and this difference in valne also shows about the difference the two plants have in collecting nitrogen. As to feeding value, for all animals but horses, the clover is of very much more value than the timothy and will make more meat or milk, pound for pound. To sum up, the reason why a hay furm er should grow clover is that this plant will gather nitrogen for him, while, with timothy alone, sooner or later he must buy nitrogen or feed his high priced timothy at a loss to make iua- j nure. Sparry, a New Plant. Sparry is a new plant in Alabama, ; and not generally known in the United States, hut in some parts of Europe it is highly esteemed as a forage plant for ; hay and paurage, and for renovating the soil. It is a vinelike, jointed plant, branching out near the ground and at ' some of the joints and nt the top, and forming from 25 to 250 seed vessels, according io vigor of plant, each seed vessel containing from 0 to 20 small ! seeds resembling those of an onion. The average growth of the plant at the Alabama station at Auburn on thin sandy land is from 8 to 12 inches in height. ! Further trial is necessary before pos 1 ltive conclusions can be drawn, but from one year's experiment tho indica tions are that it is inferior to either Bermuda or crab grass for hay and pasturage, and its meager growth will keep it from competing in the south with clay peas as a renovator of poor toils. A Word About Olives. Olives have been cultivated on the coast of Georgia and South Carolina for many years, and an excellent quality of oil bas been produced. A peculiarity of the olive is that it flourishes and bears abundant crops on rocky and barren soils where no other fruit trees j are successful. Olive trees begin to : bear fruit at from 8 to 10 years of age, ' but should not be planted farther north than this section. P. J. Borckman names as a good variety the Picboline, a variety re neb. esteemed in California for its rapid growth and early bearing. The tree is also less subject to damages by insects than most other varieties and ripens its fruit in 12 months, thns bearing a crop annually; makes excel lent oil and stands as the best for picking.

A correspondent states that the circu lar saw was first invented in America by a combmaker named Hartshorn, who used a common handsaw to saw out the horn between the teeth, thus firming one of those old fashioned horn combs. Finally, thinking it rather a slow process, lie took what used to be called a"Bungtown copper," filed it down thinner, drilled a hole through its cen ter, then squared the hole and cnt tho teeth around its outer edge, placed it upon a mandrel true und permanent, then put it into his lathe, mid with tho flat horn lying upon a wooden rest be sawed out his combs. From the copper he shortly cut np his hacksaw and converted it into cir cular saws. This man, Hartshorn, lived and died in Mansfield, Conn. lie also invented the screw and lip auger, also the bits, such as are used ill the braca Bo was asked why he did not put iu bis claim for compensation long afterward, when we had a patent oflice.

Any doubt that may have hitherto existed as to the veracity of the Biblical account of the passage of tho Jews dry shod across the Rod sea have been set at rest by the report of Major General Tnl loch, published in Loudon, describing an incident which took place during his recent survey for the British government of that part of Egypt tlirongh which the route of the exodus is said to have lain. It seems that on one occasion last spring thore sprung up a storm of wind so in tense in its violence as not only to stop all survey work along the borders of Lake Menzahleh, but to carry within the space of a few hours the entire wa ters, the lake out of sight beyond the horizon, loaving all the sailing vessels resting on the sandy bed of the inland sea. This is manifestly what occurred in the days of Moses, and what has hither to been in the eyes of the skeptical open to doubt as a miracle must henceforth be accepted as a definitely proved nat ural fact New York Tribnna IIow She Knew.
