ArOuTIcIAS ON FARMING.

II is hard TO tell why politician
should talk politics at an agricultural
fair, and yet talk agriculture on his
own farm, but it seems to be the way.
Ex-S Secretary Chandler was visited by
q lot Of politicians recently on his ewn
farm home, and he took the occasion TO
say few things to them they do not
often hear. A correspondent who was
present, says that be had something wise
TO say about farming, as we'll as some
thing significant about politics, when
ho addressed his neighbors at his ia rm
in Michigan not long ago. lie declares
that farming is not only the oldest, but
the most respectable occupation known
to man. "1f had boy to-da, ;" he
exclaimed, 81 would rather put him
on an eighty-acre lot that had never
had plow or AK upon it than place
him in the best government Office in
the landP Agricultural papers will
please copy the remark, and farmers
lads who are growing up dissatisfied
with country life, and who cannot
overcome restless desire to GO to q
city and enter profession, will do well
to remember it. "Make your homes
pleasant" continued the ex-Secretary,
make them so attractive that your sons
and daughters will love their homes
better than any other place on Gods
earth. Make this business of farm
ing SO agreeable that your sons will see
that it is the most healthful and profit
able occupation in which they can en-
gage. Build good houses and buy good
implements. Don't get an old cracked
cook-stove, but put in a good range. In
fact, have every convenience that you
can, SO that your wives and daughters
will deem it pleasure to perform their
household work. In this way you can
bring up your sons and daughters on
the farm, but when you make the home
repulsive, you drive them into clerk
ships and other mental positions, when
they ought to be Gods annointed lords
of creation. These are plain words but
they are crammed with good sense.

THE FAT EALLACY.

The late elections have pronounced
most unmistakably against the fat and
irredeemable paper fallacies which, at
one time, seemed to DO taking strong
hold upon tho minds Of our people in
certain sections Of the country. There,
Ii no power on earth that can leeislate
value into paper which does not actual
ly represent value Of some kind. We
might just as well attempt to legisIate
up or down tho value of wheat or cot.
ton. The markets of the world always
have and always will regulate the value
Of merchandise. Tho assertion that a
government, by merely writing upon a
piece of paper, "This is Dollar" can
make II dollar, is all moonsLine. The
idea il only hollow faliacy that the
people are beginning to comprehend,
and upon which most Of tho States of
the Union have already stamped their
disapprovaI.
A gold or silver dollar IL worth dol
lar because it actually costs a dollars
worth of labor to dig it out of the
earth. A piece of paper which actual
" represents gold or silver dollar, or
anything Of equal actual value, Is dol
lar because it will always and under all
circumstances command a dollars worth
Of labor.
Col. Ingersoll has well observed: of
the government can make money, why
doesn't it make all it wants, instead Of
gsing round with a bayonet and collect
ing taxes Of poor men II is
like the sun going round 10 borrow light
from penny candle"
Have the irredcemAble grcenbackcrs
forgotten the history of the Continen-
tai paper money of which il took
whole handful to buy a good dinner.
The people Of Buenos Ayres, in South
America, have just been trying their
hand at .tfat money. A newspaper
published at the capitol city of that
country advertises its price at $50 per
month paper money-Gdt script. The
same paper tells us that il takes from
$500 TO $500 Of their money, at the
present time, TO buy n suit Of clothes.
The following advertisement, from the
columns Of q late number of the Bnenos
Ayres Herald speaks for itself:
FISn LNH o. caupaEH-n Sens a. $40 and up-
uaIda AsS and ehoies designs In eEavals al SO
each. Collars ~ $50 per DOZEN UadeEciothiag a.
from 500 70 600 per suit.
The same paper quotes gold and sill
yer dollars in its financial columns at
s3l.95 in currency. Money is money
the world over, and the price Of every
article Of merchandise, everywhere will
be regulated by the relation which it
bears to some gold or silver unit, which
is known and universally acknowledge
cd in the markets of the world. A

4 PIECE OF ELEPuANTINR SURGERY.

During the blow on Wednesday
morning, a large lantern on TOP Of
of the elephant house in the Geological
Garden was demolished, and pieces of
the heavy glass fell into the cage occu-
pied by the elephants. The female
elephant In walking around the inclos-
ure trod on|one of the fragments, and,
being in her bare feet, received a pain
full wound. She set up howl that
made the roar of the storm seem the
signing of zephyr by contrast Her
companion was found TO be comforting
her as well as he could by trying to
roar louder than she did, and by letting
a halfpint tear of symps ny now and
then roll down his trunk, which was
wound tenderly around the wounded
leg of the prostrate beast DIR. Henry
c. Chapman, surgeon of the Geological
Society, was summoned. She was Sc
cured by ropes and thrown on her side,
on a bed Of straw, treatment which
evoked from her some extra efforts In
the roaring line When DR. Chapman
began to probe softly around the
wound with lancet, however, she
showed anlephant's instructive respect
for a friend by ceasing her believing
and holding the injured foot per
fectly still. DIR. Chapman successfully
removed the fragment of glass, stopped
the flow of blood from the wound, and
in a few minutes the huge beast was
again on her feet, looking as amiable
as lamb

SOME PRACTICAL REMARKS.

A girl that is never allowed to sew.
all of whose clothes are made for her
and put on her until she is ten, twelve.
fifteen or eighteen years of age, says the
Lady's Journal, is spoiled. The moth
er has spoiled her by doing everything
for her. The true idea of selfrestraint
is to let the child venture. A child's
mistakes are often better than its no
mistakes, because when q child makes
mistakes and has to correct them, it is
then on the way toward knowing some
thing. A child that is walked up every
morning, and never wakes itself up !;
and is dressed, and never makes mis-
takes in dressing itself; and is washed,
and never makes mistakes about being
clean and is fed, and never has any
thing to do with It's food and is
watched and never watches itself. and
is kept all day from dong wrong

THE WRATH OF JASON.

Some months prior to the unfortu.
nate accident in the rolling mill, where
by Uncle Jason was 80 suddenly and
unexpectedly launched into the mys-
terious beyond, Spikes was at his desk
in the mill-office, when great noise
and controversy was heard outside, as
follows:
'1s you gwine to fill de contract"
"Who you call contrap7 / done

81 ak, is you gwine to carry out de

"Go way, old man. Use got no time

What reply, if any, was made to the
threat and peroration was not andible.
A scufIling ensued, followed by sound
similar to that produced by a street
sweeping machine when In motion.
And when Spikes lookel ont, he saw
Uncle Jason apparently busily engaged
in examining the ventilation beneath
pile of pine boards which stood inside
the mill, near the door. and heard him
mutter:

Water is an almost universal sol.
vent. As it falls through the air Il
dissolYes the gasses that are in the at
mosphere. Rain water is the nearest
approach we have in nature to pure
water, but itgenerally containsa sammonIa
and earbonie acid, and has been found
to hold ia solution even suIpbate of
lime and organic matter Of animal and
vegetable origin. In Paris il has been
found to contain traces of iodine and
phospheric acid. Rain water collected
near the sea always shows traces Of
chlor1des. In cities and their vicinity
rain water Is usually more impure than
IN other places. The first rain
that falls during a storm is more inn
pure than that which falls afterward
since the first washes the impurities
out of the air. Dr. Dana states that
after longcontinued observation and
analysis he has become assured that
nearly all the salts Of the ocean are
found IN rain water--of course in min.
ute quantity. The amount of solid
matter in rain water he estimates AZ
l.oO3 grains per gallon. This Is a
very small quantity, but from this
basis he estimates that one inch of
rainfall yields about one grain Of solid
matter per square foot, which is eonal
to 6.26S pounds per acre. These fg-
nres mount up rapidly when he states
that at the rate of 80 inches annual
rainfall on tho district included in the
l2,OH acres Of Lake Cochituate and
its drainage land, there are deposited
2,21O,959 pounds of salt. Thus the
tritiing quantity Of solid matter in the
rain becomes very great estimate in
the aggregate"
With such showing as the above,
of which there can be no doubt of its
correctness, of the amount of fertiliz-
ing agents which are deposited by
every shower of rain that falls upon
the earth, what an immense amount of
fertilization Is going on in our valley of
WeIfoot or Willamette, whichever YOU
please, every winter Instead of being
frozen up as they are 80 frequently for
months on the Atlantic seaboard, and
the States Of the great Northwest, we
are as 1t were, enjoying a continued
spring from the time Of the first fall OF
rain to the end OF seed time, and all
that Is needed to render farming the
most profitable employment a man can
follow in this valley. is a proper sys-
tenn of following and the rotation Of
crops, with an intelligent system OF

The Popular .Seie4ice Monthly remarks
that many Of the ills and diAeases pre-
valent among women in our lay are no
doubt traceable TO the aeslcntary mode
Of life Nd common among them. The
progress of tho industrial art has done
away with much Of the household
drudgery to which women were former
ly subjected, and the result is in too
many cases want Of sufficient occupa
ton for needed bodily exercise. IL says !:
"The fruits Of this stage of things are
strikingly exhibited in certain observa
tions made by the late DIR. Robcrtson,
Manchester surgeon, who, in his prac
tice as n specialist for womens' disiases,
found that in women who themselves
perform all their household work there
Was no trace Of certain complaints, that
these complaints began to make their
appearance in women with one servant,
become more pronounced with women
who have two servants, or worse still
with those who have three servants,
and so on. He showed Statistically
that the deaths from childbirth were
four times greater in the cases of wo-
men with four servants than those with
none. On the other hand, VIC observed
statement the other day that since
the suspension Of labor in the mills of
New England on account Of the panic,
many of the female operatives have
sought employment as domestics, and
as consequence there is much more
sickness among them than there was
previously. This would seem to show

HARD TO PLEASE.

When greenback dollar bill was
worth just 81 cents, the Republicans
said it was honest money, and de-
nounced the man who declined to take
it at 100 cents as a disioyal copper
head. Now, when that greenback dol
lar is worth 991 cents, the same Re
publicans affirm it is not "honest
money" and denounce the man who
says otherwise as a repudiationist.
Some people always were hard to
please, anyhow.
