4 New Cereal,

A new cereal has been grown in Ore
gon which has puzzled the farmers, as
it is unlike any grain with which they
are familiar. From seven to ten stalks
grow from one root to height
of about four feet, and these stalks,
or straws, are thin and hard. The radi-
Gals are tough, and spread widely. The
heads are six inches in length, and COW
cred with a heavy beard, each filament
being five inches long. The grain is
double the length of ker ell of wheat,
and, instead of being firm and compact,
is hollow, the cavity containing glutin-
Gus matter. While the grain bears
closer resemblance to wheat than to
anything else, the straw looks more like
that of rye or barley. It's origin is
somewhat peculiar, the first grain hav-
ing been taken from the stomach of
wild goose, by farmer in Tillamook
county, nearly three years ago. He was
struck with its appearance, and planted
it, and the succeeding season sowed the
product. He distributed portion of
the second crop among few friends in
different parts of the State, who this
year raised small quantities. 1t will re-
quire another year to determine the
value of the grain.

CHRISTMAS CAROL.

out in the midnight's white and starry splendor
once more the glad bells ring,
While softer human voices, sweet aud tender,
The songs of Christmas sing.
Christmas Is come
The whole clear night seems bending low 10 listen,
The church lifts up its cross;
And solitary, snow-capped mountains glisten,
And blue fash and toss.
Christmas IL coming!
From sea TO sea a mighty voice is pealing,
On moorland bleak and wide,
Through frozen fields and dead rose gardens steang
BY wood and water-side.
Christmas Is come!
To lighted hearts whose fires make silver Innings
Behind the days dark cloud,
To halls where Beauty's summer light Is shining,
Where dancers laugh and crowd,
Christmas is come!
o. world o, life O, hearts in sorrow signing
Remember that to-day
Across the waste of time about you lying,
The Savior finds His way.
Christmas IL come!
O. low and sweet the Christmas carols falter,
Then rise with rich increase,
And for an hour about one shrine and altar
All nations stand at peace.
Christmas is come!
"Long love, long peace and reconciliation,
We sing aloud, and then,
Their tones grown strong with JOY and exultation,
The great bells chime, Amen!
Christmas il come!
