In tliu sunshine. tliinlciiiRover J'assinj; tiling in days of jere: While I nodded, nearly sleeping. iC!itly eaiue a .something ereepiny 1'p my hack like valor seeping Afping njiwaid fiom the floor. "Tis a cooling breeze."' I niulteied. 'Kiom the logions "nealh the floor ()nl tin-;, and nothing more." And distinctly I lememher it was in one wot September. When the earth and ctcry member Of ei cation that it boio. Had fur weeks and weeks been coakiin; In the meanest, most provoking lggy rains that (without joking) Wo had ever seen bcloio; o 1 knew it must be very Cool and damp beneath the lluor Very eold beneath the floor. So 1 sat me. half way napping. In ttie sunshine, .stretching, gaping. Craving water, but delighted vVilh the biece from'neatli the floor. Till I found mo growing colder. And the stretching waxing boldoi, nd myself a feeling older Older than I'd felt before; reeling that my joints weie slitter Than they were in days of jure Slitter than they'd been bcioie. All along n back the creeping Coolness oon was lushing, leaping. As if countless fiozen demon1; Were attempting to exploio All the eaitics (the vannints) 'Twixt me and my nether uaiinciits. lTp into my hair and downward Through my boots into the floer: Then I found myself a shaking. Slight at first, but more and inure Kvery moment, more and more. Soon 1 knew what 'twas that hook me; Tvas the ager, aud it took me Into heavy clothes to every Place where, there was warmth in stere: " Shook me till my teeth were chattering. Till the tea they bought went spattering From the cup, while all my warming Made me colder than before,; Shook me till il had exhausted All its power to shake me more Had no strength to shake mo inoic. Then it rested till the morrow. When it came with all the horror That it owned, or e'er could borrow Shaking harder than before; And from that day damp and diearj. When 1 sat all dreaming, bleary. It has made diurnal visits. Shaking, shaking, oh, so sore ! Shaking off my boots, and shaking Mo to bed, if nothing more Fully this, if nothing moie. And to-day the swallows flitting Round my cottage see me silting Moodily within the sunshine, .lust inside my silent door. Waiting for the ager seeming Like a man forever dreaming, And the sunshine on me streaming Thiows no shadow en the floor; For I'm now too thin from aer To make shadows on the floor Nary shadow any more. Portland Poet. Grandpa. The Grandpa iz an individual, aged somewheie between fifty and one hundred years, of a promiski ous temperament, and iz a com mon occurrence in all well-regulated familys. Next to a helthy mother-in-law, they have more aktivc bizness on hand than enny other party in the household. They are the standing authority on all leading topiks, and what they don't know about things that look place sixty-five years ago, or will take place for the next sixty-five years to cum, iz a damage for enny man to kno. Grandpas are not entirely useless; the- are handy to hold babys, and feeding the pigs, and are very smart at 'mend ing a broken broom handle, and sifting coal ashes, and are good at putting up clothes lines on wash ing day. I have seen grandpas that could churn good, but i kon- sider it a might mean trick to set an old fellow of eighty years to churning butter. I am a grandpa miself, but i won't churn butter for no concern, not if I understand miself. I am az solid on this kon klusion az a graven image. I am willing to rock baby all the time wliile the wimmen folks are biling soap; I am willing to kut rags, to work up into a rag karpet: they can keep me hunting hens' eggs wet days, or picking green cur rants, or i will even dip kandles, j or koro apples for sass, or turn :i griiidstun, hut, hi thunder, i won t churn. I have examined miself on this subject, :iml i will hot a jak knife, so Ion;' az he remains in his right ni'ud, Josh Billings won't churn. A- a gener.tl tiling, grand pas arc a sot of konsaited old phoolb who don't seem to realize that what they kno thcii!olves i the result of experir-nco. and that younger people have got to got their knolledge hi the same way. Grandpas arc poor help at bring ing up ohildi en: they have got precept and kaloelusni ciiiifi. hut the young ones all seem to under stand that grandpa minds them a heap more than they mind grandj m.Josh JJillltits. Success iu .Life. Hard work and judicious ucono my of strength, time and money, arc the secrets of success in life. Luck docs not account for so much as many people suppose. Acci dental circumstances, as regards time and place, contribute much to success in life, but it may be laid down as a general rule, that men who seem to be successful, have nest attained "to eminence without intense atfcl continual thought and perseverance. A stickling about hours of work is obstructive of all success beyond a humble mediocrity. Never was there a truer word uttered than that "the hand of the diligent maketh rich.' In no department of life do men rise to eminence who have not undergone a long and diligent pi eparation; for what ever may be the difference in the. incntal power of individuals, it is l. ' mc cuuivauou oi me mum aiouu; that leads to distinction. Every young man who is ambitious of success must be willing to work for it. lie must prepare himself for it by systematic training, and then he may rest assured that he will seldom fail of accomplishing it. It is an ill-founded notion to say that merit in the long run is neglected. Don't fear that for a moment. Educate yourself prac tically and usefully, then be dili gentand faithful in 3'our work, and rest assured mat vou will uavcH ! everv chance of a brilliant suc cess. The Science of Dreaming. A somewhat eccentric French savant, M. Delannay, has been in vestigating the subject of dreams, and fancies that he has laid the foundation for the science of dream ing. He finds that he can contiol the chaiacter of his dreams by stimulating certain portions of the brain by means of heat. For in stancy by covering his forehead with layers of wadding he obtains sane, intelligent dreams; but he also finds that the position of the body is also an important factor. Thus he finds lying on the back productive of the sensorial, luxu rious dreams, while those expe rienced while lying on the right side the most easy and natural position are full of exaggeration, absurd, and refer to odd matters. On the contrary, those experiences when tying on the left bide are in telligent and reasonable and relate to recent matters. These latter are the dreams in which one often speaks. M. Delauuay's investi gations have thus far been purely suggestive. If he should go fur ther and found a school of dreams it would not be the only one in existence. "We have sold St. Jacobs Oil for about one year. Have sold more of it than of all other lini ments. It has given unusual satis faction in ever' instance. We con sider it the best remedy for rheu matism ever offered to the public." D. J. Pratt & Co., North Brook field. Mass. Wool. The secretary of the Portland Hoard of Trade in hi annual re port made some statements and suggestions which will he found valuable by the sheep raisers of this county. He. said the wool clip of 1SS"2 exceeded that of ISS1 by' about '2 per cent. The quality of' the wool, however, was by no means up to the standard. In consequence of tli sale of large numbers of wethers bv eastern Orejron wool growers to eastern buyers, which necessitated early shearing, the wool from that sec-1 tion reached this market earlier than usual. The condition of the clips then received was disap pointing, the wool being heavy and lacking brightness, but well graded and sound iifsl.iple. 13 liv ers expected improvement later in the season, but were deceived, as the above aspects manifested them selves in almost every clip received from eastern Oregon. This is to be accounted for by the fact that the sheep verc in excellent condi tion during the winter, thus re taining the grease accumulated during the preceding summer, and also by the very dry, windy spring months, which filled the uVccc with sand. On an average the .shrinkage of this year's clip ex ceeded that of hist year's by lully S per cent. The presence of sev eral San Francisco buyeis in this mnruct inflated values, giving an erroneous idea to the growers not acquainted with the actual facts; hence fully one-fourth of this years clip remains unsold, and . , .., , , . -,- , rt. ,. n n cession of lo per cent, on opening prices. Willamette valley wool is year by year deteriorating iu qual ity,, owing lo the neglect or farm ers to improve their flocks by new blood. But few make a specialty of wool growing in the valley, the majority looking upon their flocks merely as scavengers to clean their lands. The valley wool was de livered in fair condition, and the yield was up lo the average, but until the majority of the flocks are crossed with .Merino bucks, the greater portion of the valley wool will have to be clawed with the lowest grades. Somebody has been at the trmiblc of condensing a great deal of information about wheat-gi ow ing, as follows, into very small compass, and somebody has set it afloat without giving credit to the autlier: 1st. The nest soil for wheat is rich clay loam. 2d. Wheat likes a good, deep, soft bed. '3d. Clover turned under makes just such a bed. -lib. The best eed is oily, plump and clean, oth. About two inches is the best depth for sowiujr the seed. Uth. The drill puts in the seed better and cheaper than broadcasting. 7th. From the. middle of September to the last of October is the best time for sow ing. Sth. Drilled, one bushel of seetl per acre; if sown broadcast, two bushels per acre. 0th. One heavy rolling after sowing does much good. 10th. For flour, cut when the grain begins to harden; for seed not until it has hardened. An unforeseen consequence of cutting the Suez canal has been the intrusion of sharks in large numbers in the Medittcranean ca, with terrible resulting havoc among the smaller edible fish. Formerly a shark was almost a curiosity in the Mediterranean sea, and there was no choicer or better stocked fishinir jrrouud in the world. The fishermen of the Provencal coast supplied the cities of Europe with the best of pisca torial food, and in never failing abundance; but they .now have difficulty in furnishing half the quantity that they then obtained with ease.
