He paiU little attention to the buz of the neighbors, the sarcasms of his siscr-in-Jw. and the criticisms of the worKT in general but painted se renely on, diiosing of his pictures at h'diciouly small prices as fast as they were laid off his easel.

Vandevort, of Sal cm. started into the sheep business about six years ago. He was then a mere boy, work ing for! wages in the stores. He bought a few sheep and put them out on the shares. I The next year he bought a few more, and saved what he had al ready bought. So he has kept on, until he uowj has 700 sheep, all out on the shares , I in Polk, Marion and Clacka mas counties.; He 'has made at least forty per cent, on all the money he has putj into sheep, anfl from bis earn ings hci has bought two lots and built houses on them, and owns them now. Mr, Vandevort lets bis sheep to farmers! who will promise to take care of them! for half the increase and half the wool, and make up for the loss of the old sheep. In this way, many farm ers have got started into the rasing of sheep tana gooa sneep; una might not have done so otherwise. Seldom has be found a farmer who was willing to take sheep on the shares more than one year, t However, one rr n Viiive had them three vearS. Gen- v , rr r v. . . . - - - j erally, the farmel wants only bis own sheep alter ne nas got a start. Mr. Vandevort raises Cotswolds. lie has graded them up for six years. He has always used only full-blcoded Cots wold bucks. '" He culls his sheep ev- f11 : tr : L nif alt the V I J tail. " v j - r wethers ami o!d. sheep and individuals that have not proved satisfactory for any reason. He fattens the culls on stubble, and then sells them for mutton. Last fall he sold his culls for $4 a head all around. He runs 1ms sheep in small! bunches; never over fifty or sixty. He believes in small bands. They shear heavier and raise more lambs. In large bunch es, the weaker ones do not have a chance: Thfv remain weak. He has never had a diseased sheep. ; He does not allow them. to run on low lands, where the water is liable to be stag nant. This would subject them to leeches. He says sheep want good, clear water. 1 Some shtep owners put them cm summer fallow without water. They have the impression that the sheep do not need water. Mr. Vande vort thinks this is a mistaken idea. He likes high land for sheep. They are not so subject to disease 00 high land. 1r L'-.nJ.rnrf UiA hart nf einerienre 111, . .t'l . v.

On the follow ing evening fome forty or fifty of the ncig-hbors gathered at the door of their abode and sang. "There's No Place 'Like Iome,f and other selections. The bride, came to the door. ' saying, "It is more pleasant inside." The vis itors congratulated the happy couple and spent the evening'Sn. their beauti ful home and with conversation, mu sic and literary selections, whiled away a pleasant hour, when most delicious refreshments were served the visitors. At a rate hour all departed, having spent a most enjoyable evening, and none regretied their coming.' i Mrs. ,S. Ritmp, of Salem, came down to visit her son's family on Saturday.

The temperature at 'tiie bottom of ie ocean is nearly down to 'freezing point, and sometimes actually tjc'low it. There is a total absence, of 'light,' as far as sunliglit is concerned, and there is an enormous pressure, reckoned at about a ton to the square inch in ev ery 1,000 fathoms, -which is 160 times greater t'han that of the atnxjsphere we live in. At 2,500 fathoms the pres sure is tliirty times more powerful than the steam press-tire of a locomotive wlren drawing a train. An late as 1880 a leading ooIogiVal ex pert explained the existence- of deep-sea animals at such details by assuming that their bodies were composed of solids and liquids of great density, and contained no air. .This, however, is not the case with decp-sca fish, whicl are provided with ajr-inflated swim ming bladders; . If one of these fish, in full chase af ter its prey, happens! to ascend , beyond a certain level, its . bladder becomes distended with the decreased pressure, and carries it, in spite of its efforts, still higher in its. course; in fact, mem bers of this unfortunate class are like ly to become victims to the unusual ac cident of falling upward, and no doubt meet violent death , after leaving their accustomed level, and Jong beiorc their bodies reach the surface in a dis torted and unnatural state. Even ground, sharks, brought up from . a depth of no more than 500 fathoms, expire before they gain the itjrface. At the State fair Grounds. - (Frorn Pacini: Homestead). A Homestead representative visited the Oregon state fair grounds on Mon day. . He found L C.

He has been a f ery busy ' man vcr since He has ninety acres in hay and oats, and he has torn away all the old icnccs and rubbish and replaced the fences with new. j In every part of the grounds and on the farm, "there is evi dence of the work of a provident and thrifty hand. There is a wonderful improvement in the general appearance of things. Thejre is no longer the tumble-down appearance on all sidef Mr.Moiihcr has certainly accomplished wonders in this lihe. Vfsitors at the next fair will ber pleasantly surprised, "or Mr. Mother is not nearly through with the "slicking up", process that he has inaugurated.,! At the head A the twenty-four fine horses which Mt. Moshcr has at the grounds, all his own horses excepting three, which will be noted, is, oi course, Coeur d'Alene.
