New Ysrk Tribune.
A fair lady writes : ''Can't you
explain about gaining and losing
a day when you go around the
world? Jules Verne muddled me
til up, and every one that tries to
explain it makes my head go round,
too." Certainly, ma'am ; only you
must fix your mind on one thing
at a time and not let it go a wan
dering like the little pig that
wouldn't stand still long enough
to be counted. Well, then, there
is no day lo t or gained. What
you will lose or gain if yen go
around the world (besides some
pleasant company wherefore, do
not) 13 a date, not a day. In travel

ly called a day, hides the fact that
for each degree o: longitude parsed

to the twenty-four horns. At noon,
when by custom you change jour

A PROFESSOR'S PLEASANTRY,
A Harvard Han Whose Lectures
Are Like EntrrtainnK r.t.
New York Tribune.
Professor Cook of Harvard College
is one of the most popular instructors
in the university. Kvery freshman
has a course in chemistry under the
venerable scientist, liut if the course
were not prescribed it is likely that
his classes would be fully as large as
they are now. An hour in his ex
periment room is like attending an
entertainment. He makes thinss
lively in the most approved "college
celebration" fashion with his ex
plosions, burning chemicals and other
tire works experiments. The professor
has spent a good many years over his
crucibles, ratorts and receivers, and
his hand trembles visibly when he
picks up any of his apparatus or in
struments. One of his lectures is devoted io
dangerous ' explosives, and a stir
always goes over the room when he
picks np a bottle labled nitroglycerine.
His smile is as Innocent as a child's
and it reveals the most genial and
sympathetic nature in Harvard Col
lege. W ben he picks up the bottle
and holds it up, the yellow liquid
tii ring with the shaking of his hand,
he always eays something like this:
Now.centlemen.it is commonly believ
ed that it I were to drop this little
bottle we should all bo blown to the
skies (his hand trembles a little moro
and timid freshmen look longingly at
the door), but if the compound is
pure, perfectly pure, mind you, I
can light a match with perfect safety
and thrust it down the neck ol the
bottle."
Here he feels for a match.
"But," he instantly adds, "I am
free to confess that I have not enough
confidence ic its purity to try the ex
periment. (Many sighs ot reliet ana
one of the Professor's divine 63 lies.)
Impassable Snow Drifts.
East Washingonian : Never in

The roads been broken so as to be
passable and one night of wind has

The wind would first blow from

that it has been a matter of imposi

like a passable condition.

OREGON FLOUR.
Manitoba Striving to Supply
China and Japan.
THE STATE'S AY II EAT Sl'PI'LT.
Tho Pacific Coast States Keed Etw Seed
Wheat-Thty Should Hold The Far
E.--tera Trade.
The ilour trade with China and
Japan, of which Californin, Oregon
at:d Washington virtually enjoy a
monopoly, which, by their situation.
they ishould he able to maintain, is
gradually increasing, and becoming a
trade of much importance.
The trade has become so large that
the transportation facilities furnished
ahir pcrs at p rest e tit are not sufficient.
and the trade will, in the near future,
demand direct transportation. This
trade is a head ' attracting attention
in other quarters, as is evidenced by
the fact that W. W. Ogilvie, presi
dent of the Ogilvie Mi'liug Company,
of Montreal, recently visited Van
couver, B. C. The World of that
city says:
Mr. Ogilvie has had under consider
ation for some time the establishment
of a flour mill on the Pacific coast to
grind for the trade with China and
Japan. This scheme he does not
deem practicable at pteseut. The
mills iu Oregon and Washington now
control that trade, having the surplus
grain of those two states at hand,
while were a mill established in Van
couver the supply of grain must
necessarily come trom Manitoba and
the Northwest. The wheat supply of
Manitoba, he said, could not be relied
on yet to be steady, but in a few
years he thought a constant supply
could be obtained. The Manitoba
wheat, being graded No. 1 hard,
would eventually replac ? the Oregon
flour in the Eastern market, as Ore
gon ca:i only produce soft wheat."
It is true that Oregon wheat is not
so hard as the wheat of Manitoba,
hut crops arc certain here and uncer
tain there. Tho wheat of the Wil
lamette valley, while contaiuing less
pluten than hard wheat, makes the
whitest flour i.i the world, which off
sets any lack ol stu-uuth. As to Ore
gon only being al'.e to produce soft
wheat, it has been demonstrated that
liar 1 wheat, the Scotch Fife, can be
crown litre, and ilr.et very well, and
the Dlue Stem, raised in Eastern Ore
gon, contain n much gluten as the
wheat of California, aud yields a
larger berry, but is not up to the
mark iu wtutencss. If Oregon far
mers would take pains to introduce
the Scotch Fife and other hard
w heats the v would doubtless soon he
able to supply wheat wit' as much
gluten as iitcessary. At all eveuts,
the Pacific coast states, througi their
favorahie situation, fertile soil and
abundant harvests, should be able to
hold the trade in flour with China
and Japan against all comers.
lii this ceiiuection it may be stated
that a roller mill was put in operation
at Nagasaki, Japan, on December 10.
Tho plant for the mill was furnished
by an English firm. The mill is of
brick, 51x30 feet, three stories high,
with twelve pair3 of rollers for grind
ing wheat and semolina. The capac
ity is- eighteen piculs per day, as
stated by a Nagasaki p?pcr, which is
somewhere in the nihoorhood of 100
barrels per day. This is the first mill
of the kind erected in the far East,
and from private advices received
here it has not proved the success ex
pected. There is considerable w heat
raised ic Jap in, and the product can
be increased, but all .he flour which
cap be produced there can scarcely
cut much figure in the China trade,
and California and Oregon should
continue to famish flour for that
country, unless the trade is interfered
with by ill-fccliDg on the part of the
Chinese, growing out of the restriction
act and similar legislation. Ure-
goman.

A LONG STRING OFBILLS.

Notes and Astonishes a Ciowd.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
A tall, black-wniiKerea man was
leaning over the desk at the Conti
nental Hotel last night conversing
with several friends. Pulling a
plethoric wallet from his pocket, he
tnnk therefrom a lone sheet of 5 bills.
just as they come from the Treasury
Department. xiis iriena inquired
what thev were. "Only advertise
ments," was the reply. "They're
civen away now with tea instead of
the iiKiial ehromos." Bv this time
there was quite a crowd around the
black-whiskered man. eagerly examin-in-'
the bill?. Souse thought t;i:v
were genuine bills, vhile others, who
had never seen bills in this shape be
fore, as there were nearly a yard of
them, thought they were advertise
ments, and would not have bought
the whole lot for five cents.
"You're just like the fellow outia
St. Louis. He was a clerk in a store,
and when 1 had made a purchase 1
asked for a pair of shears aod pro
ceeded to cut off a bill. You should
have seen the man's eyes. . They
stood out eo you could have knocked
them off with a stick. The outcome
of the matter was that he refused to
take them. Just at that minute the
proprietor came from the office, and,
seeing the status of the case, dis
charged the man, but, after I had ex
plained the case, we all had a good
laugh."
"Why do I carry them in that way?
I gues. well I suppose to have a
little fun; thas's all. I have a friend,
a cashier in a bank, and he lets me
have them. Lei's adjourn and have
a B. and S. and see what the bar
keeper has to say."
BEAUTIFUL RATI1S.

The baths of Battaglia are near
Padua and Venice, in the most de
lightful of climates, freed from
northern cold and tro southern beat.
A peculiar and most unique fea
ture of the health resorts is the nat
ural vapor bath in the grotto. This
grotto is situated about half way up
the Monte Sant' Elena, betwetn the
smaller bath house and the castle.
A number of hot springs issue from
the rock with the grotto and. giv
rise to hoi vapor.
In consequence of the 'great
success which attended the thera
peutist employment of the gntio
of Monsummano, near Pistoja, tlhis
grotto was enlarged by blasting a:?
fitted ud with magnificent jnarblei
couches, shower baths, etc., after j
the pattern of the Koman baths in
Vienna, The temperture offapor
is lit" degrees Fahrenheit.
Lower down, and in Battaglia,
are the bath houses and hotels now
resorted to by hundreds. Cattajo
is our old English Cathay or China,
and was so named because it was
built after the drawings of the
Khan's palace at Cathay, brought
home by Marco Polo. Near this
curious structure, now belongitg
tu the Archduke of Austna Este, is
the more recent but charming villa
of Val San Zibio, the teat of Count
Marti nengo, Senator of Italy, sur
rounded oy a da? park labi out in
the old French style. Arqua, the
heme of Petrarch, is not fpr off. and
Monte Peudice invites you to its
its picturesque ruins, from which
you behold a beautilu! panorama

"I used to make ballon ascen

The ballon was new and light, anil
I got a much longer ride than I ex

a cherry tree. The farmer was an
old fellow, about GO years of agee

the case in his pocket and then
came forward and carelessly observ
