A great variation in the length of the eltvtaie are obtained in dif ferent gaseous atmospheres has been noticed by M. Villari. With horizontal carbons, the electromo tive force that gave an arc 1-0 of an Inch long in hydrogen produced one of i of an inch in oxygen, and one of j of an iiu h in ordinary uir. With vertical cnrlmn, rsjtcoially with the negative uppermost, the length is greatly increusod, and the same electromotive force gave an arc 2"..ri times as long in oxygen a in hydrogen. The physiciMt is bewildered by the apparently simultaneous action of gravitation upon widely separate Ixitlies, M.J.

Thu rain came down al a most opportune lime, and bus greatly benefited everything. Haiti two weeks ago would have insured a largo spring crop, hut usual Con ditions from now on will allow of a crop to be harvested. In many sec tions late sown spring grain did not germinate, ami the present rains may yet produce yields where none were exiiected, I'm in wim badly needed, up to the 2Htli none of any consiueneo having , fallen since April 20th. The temperature has been ratlwr high., BsftresjiUO, ground hcYuine hard and there was not that growth which was th sired In Grant county on the 20th teni perature reached SKI deg., and grass on hills drying up. Killing frost in linker county on the 2Mb and 'Kith, and liglit in Union county which did little daniageou the 2tb. Grain ami other crops are very promising in the Grand Hondo val ley. In I'matilla county snow fell in tin) mountains on the 2th. Wheat heading out and doing fine ly: in ssils it is burned slightly. Spring wheat Is very promising. In Morrow w heat continues promising, but more rain is desired. Consid erable wind during the week. Kain is needed in Gilliam county. Hyc has made a good crop, wheat lnokn well, and rain will insure a lint! yield. Apples promise well. Frost on the JSth did some damage. Spring grain not doing well. In Waxco and Sherman winter wheat promising. Cool weather very lx-n-elit iul; late xown grain ban mt conic up well. Fruit is doing well. In Jarkxon county alfalfa cutting be gun on the 2l'th; yield good. The continued warm dry weather un favorably affected crops in Douglas county, but the prexent rain will produce a favorable change. Fx cfllent crops are alinont now cer tain throughout thp Willamette valley. Fall wheat, where sown on summer fallow, is in tine condition, and in any event will produee u good crop. Where sown on stubble land it is not so muni . Tltespring w brat has been an tin certain crop, but the present weath er will bring a fair crop to be bar vested. Strawberries ore cheap and plen tiful. Cherries are nearly ripe. Veg etables are abundant. It seldom fuila to nin al tin proH-r time in Oregon, and the present rain came most opportune ly. It. S. l'.v.a k, Ass't Director Weather Hereau. Clean His Oreliant Trt-ett. The time of year is at hand when orchard trees are greatly U-nefited by a good cleaning of their trunks, main branches and forks, not only to give the bark a healthier condi tion, but to lessen the burrows and hiding places of inimical insects and conditions favoring fungus growth. Scraping fT the old scaly bark is generally recoAunended; but before doing this it is K-st to saturate the bark audits minute recesses with some kind of effectual instvtieide wash that will kill all incipient en emies before the scrapings reach the ground. For such a wash, a Missouri fruit grower says, in tho Journal of Agri culture, that houses a mixture of; lime slacked with soft water (old soap suds is still better) with earlm!- ic acid, soft soap and sulphur. To ono peck of lime, used while hot, add one-half gallon crude carbolic acid (cost 5 cents'), one gallon soft soap and four pounds of sulphur; stir well, lie says: " If tho mil ler has laid tho egg which produces tho borer, tho wash is death to the egg. The miller, moth and beetles will not deposit their eggs in a tree thus washed. The wash described will prevent both apple and peach tree borers." l'rohaldy good strong soap suds and a judicious addition of tho car bolio acid would bo very elUeiont, and we would urge tho point of ajv plying tho wash before commencing to scrape or clean olF tho old bark and rubbish. Another jtoint in this connection: We recently saw a statement by a reliable fruit-grower that he had proved by experioneo that trees which horo defective, blemished fruit were made to produce perfect fruit by cleaning up their trunks and limbs and paring out all do oayed portions, showing to his sat isfaction that diseasoin the trunk is transmitted to the fruit. Fry, tho cash grocer,' makes a spec ialty ol fine groceries. The Dandelion. The dandelion should bo our na tional llower. Tt Harries like richest, purest gold on the sloping hillside; across the ls-o haunted meadow; in the orchard where tho doves hide in the sweet evenings; about the cool uiiirsh-pluces, where tho frogs murmur with swelling throats; ulniig the banks, where the brook let lluws, singing, through the rush es; in the still, holy places, where our dead ones sleep with quiet hands and pulseless breasts 0, I think they must love the dandeli ons! they who have como to ico through the (dear, sad eyes of death what a hitter mockery, a hollow show, a vain, blind strife after emp ty honors and useless wealth and selfish glory is the thing wo call life. We reach with eager hands and covetous hearts for tho rich ram (lowers that grow above us, we waste our strength, and break our pride, and wear out life itself striving to climb to them, and all the while we never once see the sweet, modest, simple dandelion 'that blooms lilting the waysido- that blooms alike for the rich and the poor, tho successful and the un fortunate, the young and. hojs-ful and the old and sad, tho woman with orange blossoms on her brow. and the one w ho lays white blooms on her dead. The dandelion is like love divine it lives in all place and for all people; it is free free to ali who have enough lieauty in their smils to euro for it; it gives the gold of its heart to all. And lat.-r, when a bunch a tiny globe of tremulous, glistening, silken down Hunts past us on the soft winds, vvu know that a dandelion is dead, and that this restless, ethere al thing is its soul, in search of a laveit where it may lie until the truiuiet of spring calls it forth to live again on earth. It is the em Idem of life everlasting let it be our national (lower! Klla lliggin- son in t Shore. Iiile many American farmers are making commendable progress in breeding improved stock, there nro many who do not know tho henelits. They cling to their scrub stock in ignorance. They do not read stock or farm pajters or even read or study of the best kind of stock to raise. Thev breed from whatever sire they can get cheap, The enterprising breeder who has improved stock is considered by t bein as not very neighborly if he asks any more for breeding than the scrub breeders, and they will imt use his stock for breeding be cause he asks more forit than they can get common stock for; but they denounce him as an extortioner. They do not consider that he paid a big price for his stock perhaps two -or three times as much as he asks now for stock of his own rais ing. Hut tho improved stock breeder goes on brooding, and bv judicious advertising sells his stock to other counties and other states, while it is often more badly needed in his own count v. Pacific Farmer. No organizations in the United States have multiplied more rapid ly in the past ten years than the sick-benefit, funeral-aid, death-ben- lit, and other kindred societies. As they are generally confined to those who arc in tho humbler walks of life, tho good they havo done is incalculable, carrying substantial aid to thousands of stricken fami lies and inspiring those who arc fortunate enough in being mem bers with a courage which might not exist in their hearts without them.

All ' things considered, the greatest wo man is she who can grow old glori ously and defy time with some thing better than enamel. But your woman who is professionally on exhibition has got to bring to tho market what the public most de sires. And it is a patent fact that the mob would rather look at the pastry ness of youththan at the per sonality. It is this popular in- tinct that makes exhibiting women tarve themselves, enamel them selves, poison themselves, restrict their functions, suppress their minds and crucify their bodies.
