Nebraska partiea are mirveying the lituution to determine the prac ticability of t utiiblinhiiig n cannery mar the proHaed aawmill.

Already many new and ele gant renidenct have npruug upon the went nido of tho river, and nth em are in ctmrtv of coimtruction. With a motor line from Portland to the fall, the whole line of the road will be lined with tuburban home Uoparalliileil for elegance and U'ltuty of location.

Rats are native of Asia, and their raid wcttward belong to comparatively modern tune. Ibe little animal wa unknown in ancient Europe The black rat first came to Kurojie from Aia in the sixteenth centu ry, and alout tho In-ginning of the Seventeenth contury or the ending of tho sixteenth ho arrived in America. This black rat was the common house rat until the brown or gray rat made his appearance in 1775. The gray rat came to Europe from India by way of Russia, and is now known a the Norway rat, from a mistaken tradition that it came from Norway to England, and from the latter country to America. The other day, says a stato ex change, a couple of gentlemen down tho river wcro speaking of tho hard weather and how fast the hay was going, when a little 0-year-old son sail, "If drandpit don't look out he won't have enough hny left for seed." Tho laugh did n't rattle him In tho least. Ho murmured that "you can't mako nothing grow without seed." " I'a, can I go to thooircus?" in .nil red Johnny Snaggs. " No, sir," no son of mine shall go whore his father would beushanisd to be seen If I catch you there " Here Mr. Hnaggs bit his lip and broke off suddenly. When you meet a man and ask him how he fools, if ho doot n't stop to think, he olways says "first rote." If ho stops to think a minute he will always begin to unfold some tale of woe.

Com is now at the lowest price it has reached since 1802. New corn in selling at or near twenty- nine cents in Chicago and thirty nine cents in New York. A beet sugar refinery at Medi cine Lodge, Kansas, made 10,000 siunds of Ix'ct sugar last year, of remarkable sweetness, from 00.8 tonsjif beds grown on 4.4 acres of land. The stock of wheat in Odessa and Schastopol at the close of navi gation is stated to lie about 9,200, (XX) bushels. A year ago there w as 10.800 bushels in Odessa alone. A farmer at Hyde Park, Ver mont, has Wen experimenting with Japanese buckwheat. The kernels are largo and plump, and the yield alwut fifty bushels to tho acre, or nearly twice that of the native brand. Tho duty of 71 cents per bushel upon corn is a serious tax upon Ca nadian farmers and millers who re quire that article for stock feeding or grinding purposes, but it is not ap parently checking importation.

' ; j The Itlde by Mauat Bhn.iaV '' Hklavwayy a., i.a . jajaa in laia " I am an old traveler, but Ituke this train with a sense of pleasure and exjiectancy not experienced on any other road," So tuid a gentle man ou a sleeper of a Southern Pa cific train a it left Oukland one evening last December. When asked why, he answered ho had Wen traveling over the road between San Francisco and I'ortland.ever since it was built, yet the novelty of the journey was as freslr as when he made his first trip, " I guess," he added, " that I am a little ro mantic, but it ' not painful to me, and I always think pleasantly of Oakland roses to-day and contrast them with Shasta's frost of to morrow." So the trip by the Shas ta mute affects some other lett ro mantic with mathematical mind. They end the hours of the ride in estimating how high this mountain, how long that bridge or bow many liorse power is lost by letting the Sacramento go unfettered. Then there ia tho stolid, indifferent pas senger who only knows and caret that the road Wd in good, tho train on time, the car comfortable, the porter attentive, with meals regular and satisfactory. To the traveler who emotions are quickened by the grandeur of nature, the ride is one never to Ik forgotten. If you are wise you will eat at Redding, though it be earlier than you usually break the night's fast, The day will be long but rot long enough, and regret and night will come together. You will not allow the Sacramento to be long out of your sight, and you will fetl sorry to see iU diminishing size, sorrier still when you leave it. You no tice, as the distance from San Fran cisco increases, that nature is pre paring you for a climax; the canyon walls grow bolder, tho scenery more rugged, and you prepare yourself for the first look at Shasta. It conies at last and you realize the weakness of words, and you wish that a lan guage might . W framed in which you could express your emotion and awe at the sight of the great altar reared by nature to which it is right all lovers of nature should of fer reverence. You are sorry the train carries you so soon out of sight of it.. You go through the tunnel and start on your way down toward sea level; another night passes and you awake to find your solf on the hwlands of Oregon, but a few lours from the Columbia. A nhort ride through a fertile valley down the W illamctto and by its falls, tho journey is ended; you go your way wondering why the trip was so short, haunted by pleasant memories of the day amongst the cloud. The Farmer a Skilled Laborer. Viewed from the lofty standpoint of the New York Hod-carriers' Un ion, conridered from tho halls of the Philadelphia Rill-posters' Pro tective Association, the prairie farm tr is simply a clodhopper. He is a man who decides to havo corn wheat and potatoes, instead of wild grass, grow on a piece of land, and sows and plants the seed that wil produce them. In point of fact more knowledge and skill aro re quisite for prosecuting his craft sue cessfully than that of any city arti sun. It requires more skill to han die a plow than a trowel.
