Li:ai year la whirling along to
ward a close and many a fair
creature who has been sleeping on
opportunities, might just as well be
reposing elsewhere.
China lias her troubles. She
just now winces under a rebellion
in Formosa. Just 100 years ago an
uprising in that Island cost tho lives
of 100,000 Chinese.;

button-hole bouquets are ripening

It Is time for a revival of reading,
writing and arithmetic In tho pub
lic schools. Clay-modeling and
music aro nice accomplishments,
but tho children when grown can
not handlo mud for their board nor
Blng for their supper.
Viknna hclentlllo societies have
been investigating tho wonderful
"weather plant" discovered some
timeago, anditissaid that Its weath
er foretelling properties havo been
thoroughly verified. Tho marine
department of tho Austrian War
Department is to give tho plant a
trial on shipboard.

of himself: Soon after ho went to
learn tho printing business ho went
to hco n preacher's daughter. Tho

was considerably astonished at hear

text: "My daughter Is being griev
ously tormented with a dovll."
SwiNimuuxn bolng asked to send
to a magazine a bit of verse, of "uot
more than sixteen lines," answered:
"I fear I can hardly undertake to
supply verso to order, In point of
length or otherwise, and in any
case 1 should certainly not think It
worth while to lot a magazine have
tho flixt fruits of anything of mine
for less than $50."
Gun. Riikuidak'b grave at Ar

an Immense cubic block which was
tho base of a column of tho old War
Department building, and It weighs
about three tons. It is sunk Into
tho earth, and rests upon a brick
vault about tho collln. The guard

GUITKAU WA8 SANE.
Dr. Spitzka was the physician
who examined Guiteau as to his
sanity before his trial, and who dis
sected his brain after he was hanged.
A portion of Guiteau's brain is
now In his possession. "When it
was mentioned to Dr. Spitzka that
many people still believed Gltcau to
have been a victim of Insanity, he
stated that Insanity was impossible
in Guiteau's case, and was proved
afterward by dissecting his brain.
By way ot demonstration Dr. Spitz
ka exhibited a couple of malformed
brains. The iirst one is that of an
insane person who was hanged for
murder, tho other is a brain of a
young girl who witnessed a railroad
accident at White Plains some years
ago, in which her mother was run
over and killed by the cars. The
shock unbalanced her mind, and
she was insane till death came to
her relief. Doth of these brains are
lopsided or crooked. One side of
each is enlarged, and tho spinal cord
is seemingly misplaced. The brain
being "unbalanced." tho mind of
each was unbalanced in proportion.
Guiteau's brain had no such defects,
and was in a healthy condition
not a single trace ot insanity was
found.
UVUIY WOKD TltUK.
"We wish to reiterate for the sako
of our eastern readers that the ther
mometer ranges from 45 to 52 du
ring tho day, that ilowers are bloom
ing in the dooryards and that the
hills are green with waving grass.
Stock still have abundant pasturage
and the plows aro turning tho soil
up to tho air. Is there any other
country in tho same latitude that
can make as good showing? We
think not, and wo add that there is
room hero yet for millions. Tho
best climate in tho world, tho most
prolific soil, the most abundant
natural resouices are hero combined,
and tho name of all is OltEGON.
Tuesday tho new law requiring
tho execution of murderers to bo
done by electricity goes into cfl'ect
In New jYork. Tho law Iprohibits
tho publication of tho details of ex
ecutions. The World has inter
views with tho leading editors of
New York city on tho course they
mean to pursue in tho matter. The
great majority of them declare that
they Mill utterly disregard tho law
and publish all the facts in connec
tion with tho executions which
come Into their posesslou.
Tin: swiftest bird ou tho wing Is
the frigate bird, a sort of nautical
bird of prey. Sailors believe that It
can start with tho peep of dawn
from tho coast of Africa, and, fol
lowing tho trade wind, land on tho
American coast boforo sunset. It
can undoubtedly fly moro than 200
miles mi hour, but wo do not know
of any trustworthy record of tho
speed of which it is capable.

Tho question of poultry raising
a receiving considerable attention
from tho people of this valloy. Tho
high prices which the people havo
to pay for chickens and eggs, the
great majority of which is Imported
from the East, has had tho efl'ect of
starting an agitation of tho question
of why moro of our peoplo do not
engage in tho business. Tho pres
ent prices every consumer has to
pay for tho products of tho poultry
yard Insure to tho person who would
engago In tho business hero a hand
soiuo profit for their tlmo and labor,
for tho homo market is practically
inexhaustible A person familiar
with tho business with a small capi
tal and a few acres of land win
tuako a good Income right from tho
start. This Ib an advautago to peo
plo of small means who cannot wait
for tho coming into bearing of a
fruit orchard. Every dollar that
wo pay out for eggs and chickens
goes out of circulation here, and is
carried East. Tills is all wreng: wo
havo every facility, climate, etc., for
tho proiRT carrying on of the bust,
ness and there is no reason why wo
should not ouly supply our own
.market but also ralson surplus to
send to other markets. There is a
good fluid for money making In this
business right hero In our vicinity
for tho party who will commence
operation. With chickens always
Belling from boventy-flvo conts each
and upwards, and eggs from thirty
to forty-live cents per dozen, tiioro
can be no question about tho suc
cess of tho entorprlse. Thoro is
cheap laud throughout tho valloy
that Is entirely suitable. Tho item
of location need not necessarily be
very high, while the stock required
iobtart with is but a small Item.
We cannot help but think there Is a
good fleld ottered lu tho business for
the man of Binall menus.

Tbero were two telegraph operators at
Buffalo who sat at the same desk. One
had charge of the wite that went west and
connected with St. Louis and down south
to New Orleans. The other had the wire
that went to Albany, New York, Philft.
delphia and Washington, and down to
New Orleans that nay. The operator
wauted to borrow a knife from tbe other,
but he daren't ask for it because the
superiutendent was walking up aud down
on tbe other side within hearing distance.
So the fellow on the New Votk wire tele
graphed through New York, Philadelphia,
Washington, and New Orleans and bok
by Toledo and Cleveland to the fel
low on the other wire to have him slide
the knife over to him, and the fellow did
MkutMIIm of Wire.
The Western Union people have added
90,000 miles to their system during the
past -year, Forty six thousand mile of
this were, of course, required by the put
chase of the Baltimore and Ohio lines.
Five thousand miles more were taken in
with another small company, but 40,000
miles have actually been (built and paid
for out of earnings. When the reflection
is made that 90,000 miles ot wire will go
rounrt the earth nearly four timet, some
idea of what this increase actually amouta
to may be arrived to.
