A road beneath where little pools lie keen
At twisted roots, and faint the last light glows.

PARADISE FOUND.
"We had endured life in all its varied
phases of housekeeping, boarding,, res
taarantinsr mid co-operative dining, and
now as the snnimer season drew near m y
wife and I resolved on spending our va--cation
in a novel manner.. We felt that
ur experiences in the past had prepared
ua for whatever unknown hardships
waited us in the future.
After many vexatious delays we were
-At last ready to start.
Our electric road cart was all that
could be desired. Et was of the latest
invention, and was provided with the
necessary conveniences for light house
keeping It was in fact a miniature
bouse ou wheels.
Early in the morning of a bright June
day we took our seats in the roomy bam
boo chairs, bade our friends goodby
and closed the door of our new home
My wife was somewhat excited at first,
owing to the novel situation, but she
aoon grew calm. I pressed the electric
button, the engine began to purr, and
away we went.
We had uo definite plan as to our des
tination other than this: We would start
out on the street that ran directly north
from our native village, and follow every
-branch road that led to the right. By
-doing this we hoped to lose ourselves in
very' short time, and expected to meet
" with many strange adventures.
We rolled along at a rapid rate. The
indicator over the door marked the miles
with a regular click, click, like the tiefc
; ing of a clock. A continuous line of
jfreen spun out along each side- of the
road dotted with telegraph poles, that
Teaily appeared to be only a few. inches
apart, so swiftly' were we moving. Of
course I was obliged to hold the rudder
with a firm hand, and keep a good look
out from the front window to avoid a
collision, for we were continually meet
ing conveyances of every kind
As the hours passed by we began con
gratulating ourselves. By following the
several right hand roads we were, as we
bad hoped, decidedly lo6t Everything
about us was new and strange .
"How delightful," my wife exclaimed,
as she drew the tea table near my chair.
""The very air we breathe is filled with
a nrimitive newness that in nharminnr
It is as if one had been suddenly trans
ported to another planet.'
When night settled down and the
dusky road made it unsafe to proceed
farther we followed a broad path that
led from the highway into a grove of
low spreading trees, and, fastening the
doors and windows securely, retired for
tbe night.
The second day's journey brought us
into a strange country, unlike anything
wabad ever seen or imagined. For a
long distance the road followed the bank
of . a broad river, from which the land
arose on either side to a great height, in
a succession of naturaTterraces. Fields
of vegetables and grain and flourishing
fruit orchards alternated with pasture
lots, where droves of plump cattle and
flocks of sheep waded knee deep in red
clover. Everything wore a thrifty, pros
perous look.
We rode slowly along, admiring the
beautiful scenery A few -houses, ex
oeedinly all and tall apparently built
from the same plan, were seen in Rome
of the most sheltered spots. In the dis
tance were tall chimneys, from which
great clouds of black smoke arose, and
as we advanced we could hear the low
hum of machinery. We were evidently
approaching large manufactories of some
sort, and my wife expressed a hope that
we were nearing some town, as onr sup
ply of provisions, owing to the wonder
tul appetites we had acquired, was fast
diminishing.
Her hope was soon realized.' for a sud
den turn in the road gave us our first
iew of a tn(t remarkable town. The
treats fan at right angles with each
other, which gave the place the appear
ance of an immense checker board The
bouses were of the same uniform style
as those we had seen in the surrounding
conn try very neat, but extremely
small. My wife remarked on one pecu
liarity of their construction. Among
them all there was no sign of the kit
chen addition in the rear, to which we
bad been accustomed.
The tall chimneys we had first noticed
were a part of the one story buildings,
which stretched along the bank of the
.river for several blocks. It was quite
early in the morning, and none of the in
habitants were astir, but feeling the
pangs of hunger, we began to look
around for a corner grocery.
Just as we were opposite one of the
low buildings on the bank of the river a
boy wearing a red uniform came rush
ing: through the door and started on a
rundown the street. He carried a red:
tin box in his hand. I called him and
Asked to be directed to a provision store
fie stared at me as if in doubt of my ean
ity, and while I waited his, reply 1 no
ticed a very peculiar expression on his
countenance, a sort of an infantile ex
pression which 1 was at a loss to account
for. until his lips parted as his amaze
lent increased, and I discovered that he
was toothless.
Without giving the required informa
tion, much to our surprise be ran away.
And then another and another, wearing
tbe same striking uniform, and with the
aarna baby face, darted through tbe sev
eral front doors of the buildings, and
followed in the track of number one.
They all carried the red tin boxes, decor
Ated with different labels. There were
tftesetable, animal, cereal, aaccbarine
j and acetous, betridea many ptber naxnK
that were entirely new to us
We saw tiieui stop at each house where
boxes of the same style they carried
were hanging from the front door knobs
Our curiosity was excited, and forget
ing for the moment onr hunger, we
hastened our speed, determined .to in
vestigate. We saw one of them take a
small quantity of something that reseui
bled the homeopathic' pellets we kept in
our medicine chest and drop them in tfie
box that bung from the door knob Then
away he ran to the next bouse and re
peated the operation. . As far as we could,
see these red ' robed boys were darting'
here and there,- crossing each other's
paths like June fireflies before a storm
We watched them a while, but our
clamoring appetites sent us again in
search of fowl We turned many cor
ners and followed long lengths of streets.
but not a sign of anything eatable could
we discover Just as we were becoming
thoroughly discouraged a man with a
fresh, pleasant face and a well fed ap
pearance opened the door and lifted the
box from the knob. Not without some
misgivings i called to him and made
known our situation.
He 6tared at us a moment as the boy
had done I began to grow impatient
. "We are strangers, sir, and are hun
gry.' I said. "Will you kindly direct
us to a provision store?'
"It is a surprise to me," he replied.
'to meet with the people who are so very
far behind the times. From what distant,
planet do yon come that you enter a civ
ilized city and ask for a provision store?
Why, my dear frieuds. there has been
nothing of the 6ort in ..this part of the
world for many years."
'How. then, do you manage to live?"
1 asked
He tapped the box with bis plump
forefinger, and nodded his head signifi
cantly "Here, sir, is my provision store," and
without more ado he lifted the lid It
was divided into several compartments,
in each of which was a small quantity
of pellet of different shapes and colors.
"You surely don't mean to say that
-you eat nothing but these nasty pills.'
said my wife in rather a sarcastic tone.
"And why not. my dear madaine?"
said ho. holding a brown pellet between
his thumb and forefinger, and eyeing it
fondly, "here is the nutriment from a
pound of beef. And here." picking up
another, "is a pound of potatoes. ' Then
here I have my bread and fruit, in proper
proportions, besides many other com
pounds, equally nourishing and. satisfy
ing." Of course we were very much inter
ested, and asked for some further in
formation concerning this wonderful
country with its condensed diet.
After Swallowing half a dozen pellets
with evident relish, he continued:
"It was many years ago that a party
of chronic dyspeptics, who were travel
ing in search of health, discovered this
beautiful valley and decided on making
it their future home. As might be ex
pected, their thoughts turned inward,
and their minds were a unit in their
anxiety to discover a remedy for their
ills. Great rewards were offered, and
science was tested to its extreme limits.
Behold," said he, pointing proudly to the
smoking chimneys and buzzing facto
ries, "behold the results! The products
of the surrounding country are entered
at the rear of these buildings as raw ma
terial, and are distributed from the
front doors in this condensed form. - And
now, after several generations of pellet
fed people, we have become a race of
perfect men and women.
"Our latest achievement is a genera
tion of toothless children. As we have
no use for teeth with this diet we are
well satisfied with this improved condi
tion of our race. There is only one
drawback to our perfect happiness. We
are beginning to fear that we shall never
die., but continue to multiply until we
arer crowded off into space."
"Oh, Tom." my wife exclaimed, "what
a delightful existence we have stumbled
upon! 1 understand now why the houses
are built without kitchens. It settles
the whole vexatious servant problem at
one stroke. Just think of it condensed
meals that one can easily carry in their
bonbon boxes are delivered the same as
our daily papers. Think of the annoy
ances these people escape, the time they
save, besides the perfect health tbey en
joy " Tom. my dear, we will go no far
ther in search of a home. Here is an
earthly paradise, and here we will re
main." . x
At a signal a group of red robed boys
surrounded our cart and she gave her
order for a pellet breakfast. LL T. Hol

Visible Sound.
The idea of getting a visual expression
for musical vibrations occurred to Chlad
ni, a physicist of the last century. He
fastened a plate of glass by its center,
and then having scattered -some sand
over the surface threw it into sonorous
vibrations by means or a violin bow.
Imagine the delight with which he saw
the sand stir and form into line on the
plate,- forming a star of twelve rays.
Square plates of glass or. metal screwed
or even glued to a central support can be
made by the merest tyro with tools, and
give wonderful results.
A plate, like a string, has oue rate of
vibration which belongs to it, but again,
like a string, by "dampening it with a
touch of the finger or fingers in different
points along the edge the note changes,
and with it the figure made by the sand.
The lines on the plate where tbe sand
settles are the nodes, the lines of com
parative rest. .The violent agitation in
the parts left bare can be shown by mix
ing a little lycopodium powder with the
sand: this is excessively light, and is
cstrgbt in tbe" little whirlwinds of air
generated about the vibrating segments.

THE SPIRIT OF UNREST.
IT SEEMS AT PRESENT TO PERVADE
THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.
The Attack of Puttier ' Ignatius n Bev.
Hebsr Newton Controversy Between
. Two Catholic RiKtia Why Dr. Bridg-'-
man Resigned His Charge.
A strange spirit of unrest seems to have
taken possession of the religious world of
late. : Eminent pastors are questionine the
inspiration of Holy Writ, denying; the doc- J
trine of eternal punishment and casting I
doubt upon the resurrection of Christ, j
Professors, of theolotry are gi vino; the broad- j
est construction to creeds; church dissen- !
sions are rife over foundational truths, and j
a veritable battle of beliefs is in progress, '
.Foremost in the strife for the old faith i
and customs is Father Ignatius, tbe Prot
estant monk of Wales. This gentleman j
claims to preach the gospel pure and un-j
defiled, and it shocked him to find men of
other ' ideas in
charge of . Episco
pal churches i n
America. Certain
utterances of the
Rev. Dr. Heber
Newton, one of
the most eloquent
divines of New
York, aroused the
indignation of Fa
ther Ignatius,
whose coifed fol
lowers . in : Wales
recently went over
in a body to the father IGNATIUS. . ;
Roman Catholic church. The monk saw ,
danger to the church at large should Dr. i
Newton remain a proiniment member.. He'
publicly denounced the "hypocrisy" of the I
preacher and called upon Bishop Potter to I
discipline bim.
, Dr. Newton's offense, as formulated bv
Father Ignatius, consists in his alleged i
denial of the incarnation and resurrection
of Christ. He is also said to have expressed j
the opinion that there is no need for the
miraculous conception of the divine word.
Dr. William R. Huntington, rector of
Grace church, who questioned the accu
racy of the monk's statement of Dr. New- '
ton's position, and appealed for tolerance
in the church, was :
dubbed an infidel, I
and his letter on j
the subject charac- i
terized as a "piece (
of slippery Jesuit- i'
ism." Dr. Da Cos- j
ta, in upholding i
Father Ignatius, !
declared that "the
church today is
badly entangled in
the toils of Satan.
The spirit of
world liness, in- i
spired and direct
ed by wealth, is
eating as a canker,
regardless of di- j
vine, truth. The i
HT5BER WEWTON. wealth of the land, j
to a large extent, views religion as a system j
of economical insurance, a "cheap defense j
for the nation,' and regards the priest aim- .
ply as a member of the moral police." '
Dr. Newton has conducted himself with j
dignity during tbe hubbub. In a sermon j
he said the massacre of St. Bartholomew j
was one of the atrocities committed i
through faith, which "has also burned li-
branes, closed
schools, anathe
matized science,
martyred philos
ophers, white
washed the walls
on which art has
drawn her glori
ous visions, staid
the progress of tbe
human' race
through centu
ries, and wrought
incalculable evil
to civilization."
He Dleaded for a
wider charity; bishop m'quaid.
"the corner stone of true Christianity."
and said the chief - regard of organized
Protestantism, equally with Romanism, j
was not truth in itself, but truth as held j
by the fathers, and delivered by them to
their children that is, "truth arrested, j
fixed, stereotyped, final." ;
There is also warfare in a certain Beet ion j
of the Catholic church. This, however, is )
not a dispute as to doctrine, but what ap- :
pears to be a personal quarrel between two
bishops openly carried on by the Rochester j
Catholic Journal I
and the Buffalo
Catholic Union.
Bishop McQuuid,
of Rochester, con
demned the course
of the latter paper
in a recent pastor
al letter. He said
it had for years
misrepresented
and maligned
himself and dio
cese iu a shameful
manner, with the
fullest approba
tion of the Right
Rev. Bishop of
Buffalo. It had

sought to create di vision among the priests
and people in a' malicious, unchristian
spirit. To prevent serious injury to the
faith and morals of the young he protested
against the circulation of The Catholic
Union in tbe. diocese, as it was "not fit
reading for decent and pore minded chil
dren," and was "a constantly recurring
source of scandal to many, running into
sin and shame." Bishop Ryan, of Buffalo,
refused to make any answer to this pastor
al. "The Bishop of Rochester," he said,
"undoubtedly felt justified in writing the
letter, and with his action this diocese has
nothing to do. I have no quarrel with
Bishop McQuaid."
Baptist circles have been stirrsd to their
depths by tbe defection of one of their
leading pastors on the all absorbing topic
oi eternal punish
ment for sinners.

cultural an t grazing country, its trade reaching as'
far south as Summer Lake, a distance of over fwc
hundred miles.
THE LARGEST WOOL MARKET.
The rich grazing country along the eastern slope
of the the Cascades , furnishes pasture for thousands
of sheep, the wool from which finds m arket here.
The Dalles is the largest original wool shipping
point in America, about 5,000,000 pounds being
shipped last year.
ITS PRODUCTS.
The salmon fisheries are the finest on the Columbia,
yielding this year a revenue of $1,500,000 which can
and will be more than doubled in the near future.
The products of the beautiful Klickital valley find
market here, and the country south and east has this
year filled the warehouses, and alljavailable storage
places to overflowing with their products.
ITS WEALTH
It is the richest city of its size on the coast, and its
money is scattered over and is being used to develop,
more farming country than is tributary to any other
city in Eastern Oregon.
Its situation is unsurpassed! Its climate delight
ful! Its Tjossibilities incalculable! Tts -rrKnnvr -n-n
