EXPLOSION OF A MOUNTAIN.
Previous to July 14, 18SS, Mount Ban
dai, a tine-cleft peak, 4899 feet in height,
was the most conspicuous object in the
mountain Tango 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 ofeteam which had generated
within it. From the earliest times of
which there is any record, streams of
cold water had been plunging under the
peak on one side, and escaping in the
shape of steam and boiling hot water on
the other. That the "escape valve"
was not sufficient to let off all the steam
generated in the passage of the water
through the red hot interior of the peak
ia 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 circum
' stances, and an immense explosion was
: the result.
The explosion is said to have been
: heard a distance of over 1000 miles, and
to have caused absolute darkness in the
vicinity of the exploded peak upwards of
three hours, d irlng which time perfect
torrents of hot water and mud were
poured down from the immense heights
to which they bad been hurled by the
lorce ot tne "pent-up luries" wnicn
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 900
feet. Three villages were engulfed in
.Lino arA nf- lfincf KCU t,i V. nH (.1 I n
killed by falling debris, or drowned and
cooked in the torrents of boiling mud
which flowed down a valley to a distance
of nine miles.
These facts were gleaned from a report
made by a visiting committee appointed
by the university of Tokio.
AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT.
The American Farmer and Farm
News, published at Springfield, Ohio,
has the following to say concerning feed'
ing wheat to hogs :
"As we go to press wheat in the local
market is worth 43 cents and oats 36
cents per buBhel. A farmer friend, who
dropped into our office for a few minutes,
told us that at these prices he should
sell his oats and feed his wheat, and in
our opinion this is a wise decision.
Last fall we 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
wheat in this case was coarsely ground
and fed in the ehape 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
way better than that made on corn as
the principal food, and for home use it
would be better to make it on this sort
of feed even if it cost a little more. It
ia 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 (hat now ob
tains, and we need all the light that we
can get to determine what it is best to
do."
A WORLD BEATER.
Since Flora Temple set the horsemen
: 1 1 -. l i ...
wuu wim wo at was tnen considered a
phenomenal record, the trotting horse
has steadity improved, the record being
.reduced almost every year, except when
euch wonders as Rarus Goldsmith Maid
or Iancy Hanks has set the mark for
two or three years. Yesterday all previous-harness
records were broken by
Robert J., a pacer, belonging to J. C.
Hamlin, at Fort Wayne, Indiana. Alix,
the queen of the trotters, had iust set
the crowd of 6000 people wild by trotting
without a skip a mile in 2.05, when
Robert J. was brought on the track,
making the mile in. 2.03, the fastest
every made. It is quite probable that
before the year 1900 the record will be 2.
The growth of Portland is the growth of
Oregon, and we congratulate ourselves
as well as the city on the splendid show
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.

Arrested, for an Old Crime.
Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 31. Antonio
Ochoa was arrested here by Sheriff L. K.
Drais, of Pinole county, for the murder
of another Mexican near Casa Creada,
six years ago. The muJder has hitherto
been a mystery, the man having been
found one morning knifed to death in a
lonely cabin. The defendant has lately
confessed to several associates his com
plicity in the deed.
A Midnight Murderer.
Kokomo, Ind., Aug. 31. James Greg
ory, a. wealthy bachelor, was called to

STORY
OF THROCKMORTON.
How
He Obtained a Verdict for a Client
In a . Texas Court.
The late Gov. Throckmorton, of
Texas, was once engaged in the defense
of a man accused of murder. The evi
dence against his client, says Kate
Field's Washington, was too strong to
be overcome by any plea except that of
self defense; but the man killed was in
his shirt sleeves at the time, and no one
had seen him with a weapon exposed.
Mr. Throckmorton at the proper junc-
ture of affairs suddenly pulled off
his coat and waistcoat and, turning
around so that the jury could see every
side of him, inquired whether, in their
iudffment, he was armed or not. The
answer in the negative was unanimous.
With a knowing', smile Mr. Throckmor
ton proceeded to draw from under his
left arm one pistol, another from under
his right, one from each of his loots,
and, finally, a huge bowie-knife from
under his shirt at the back of his neck.
As he laid the weapons in a row on the
table, he said: "You, see, gentlemen
although in my shirtsleeves, it was not
safe to consider toe unarmed. The
counsel for the prosecution knew from
that moment that their case was gone.
His Striking: Feature.
A certain judge who is blessed with
a tremendous head of hair, which is
generally in a state of wild disorder,
was questioning a youthful witness, to
make sure that he comprehended the
character and importance of the oath
he was about to take. Boy,' he said
with his severest and most magisterial
manner, "do you feel sure that you
could identify ms after six months.
aow oe careiui. J.ninic beiore you
speak." ''Well, your honor," replied
the boy, after a prolonged survey of
the judge s portly figure and rugged
features, "I ain't sure, but I think
could if yon wasn't to comb your hair."
A Confusing Clause.
A famous London will bequeathed
"all my black and white horses ' to
certain devisee. After the lawyers had
wrangled to determine whether all the
Diack norses ana all the white ones
were meant, or only the piebald, or
black-and-white ones, a witness testi
fied that all the horses of the dead man
were mares, and the confusion was
worse confounded.

A Racking Cough
Cured by Ay ex's Cherry Pectoral.
Mrs. P. D. Hall, 217 Genessee St.,
Lockport, N. Y.f says : .
"Over thirty years ago, I remember
hearing my father describe the wonder
ful curative effects of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. During a recent attack of La
Grippe, which 'assumed the form ot a
catarrh, soreness of the lungs, accom
panied by an' aggravating cougb, I
used various remedies and prescriptions.
While some of these medicines partially
alleviated the coughing during the day,
none of them afforded me any relief from
that spasmodic action of the lungs which
would seize me the. moment I attempted
to lie down at night. After ten or twelve
such nights, I was
. Nearly in Despair,
and had about deciile.l to sit up all night
in my easy chair, nntl procure what
sleep I could in that way. It then oc
curred to me that I had a bottle of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I toolc a
spoonful of this preparation in a little
water, and was able to lie down without
coughing. In a few moments, I fell
asleep, and :iwokc . i:i ;;r morning
greatly ' refreshed nntl feeihi much,,
better. I took a l-:isn.;ii!fu! of ihe Pec
toral every nilit for a v.i-i'l;, tlun r:-.il-ually

HE WAS ON TIME.
Although He Had to Make His Toilet in
the Street Car.
One morning' recently, says the St.
Louis Republic, as a Washington ave
nue car came dashing cityward with
its customary freight of folks on duty's
errand bound, the passengers within
were surprised at the sight of a young
man rushing from a house, bounding
across the street and boarding the car,
with his hat, vest, coat and collar in
his hand.
. lie was a fine-looking -fellow, and, as
far as one might judge by appearances,
evidently a clerk employed in some one
of the big stores. Once safely landed
on the car, he laid his coat, hat and
vest on the seat, while he buttoned on
the collar and whipped the tie into
place. . Then he drew from the pocket
of the vest he had just donned a comb
case and mirror, and leisurely proceed
ed to fix his hair and mustache. This
finished, he drew on his coat, placed
his hat upon his head, and, with a
quick survey of Iris person, a few
sweeps of the hand to carry away any
lint that might have stuelc upon his
trousers, ho glanced about the car with
an air of absolute unconcern. He was
dressed and on time for the office-
