FUTURE RAILROAD CENTRE.

II is evident that in the near future
Walla Walla viii be railway center as
well as an educational and grain-shlpping
city. The railway direct from Portland,
now distant abou. twenty hours, will come
here. We have rail connection with the
upper country through Waitsburg and
DAYTON, both thriving places, situated in
srea, grain producing sections the former
in this country The graders are now
rushing the work Of line from this city
into Eastern Oregon via Milton, Weston
and Pendleton, which will give US as tn
butary a vast area IF gram producing and
stock-raising country. We also have
narrow -guage road between this city and
Dixie, situated IN the eastern section Of
the valley. Tha. The Oregon Short Line
will touch Walla Walia on lis way TO the
Sound there can be little doubt. This
will give Walla Walla railway communi-
cation with Portland first, as the nearest
large city, then the Pacific at Puget
sound, and directly with the East. TINS
railway competition, building and IN pros
pect, has touched and tempered the ma
terial interest and enterprises here within
twelvemonth- There has been no
boom, in the common acceptation Of that
term, but a steady advancement OF all
values Capital has been taken from It's
hiding places in vaults and is being put
into real estate, not only IN the central
portions of the city, but in the eastern
suburbs, in which direction the business
of the city is tending. Real estate worth
and sold at S65 to S10O per front foot
one year ago, now readily sells for $50
and $3.50 per foot Large and handsome
Ir built brick blocks are taking the places
of cheep wooden structures, merchants
are enlarging stocks and storehonses, ard
it Is the exception TO find man identi-
fed with the interests here not taking .

SHADES IN PAsTUREs.-CeItain writers
for agricultural periodicals indulge IN va
rious things that have no merit whatever.
The subject which heads tins paragraph
is one of them. We have seen IN dozen
publications one or more articles on the
necessity or expediency of having shade
for grazing stock lh pasture fields. In
agricultural matters generally our expert
ence has not been limited, and we can say
that, so far as we can now remember, we
never saw pasture field without shade,
and in which, at certain hours OF the day,
the cattle were not screening themselves
from the suns rays. The tree or trees ne
cesSary to afford this protection to the poor
cattle is not matter of any consideration
as question of expense, but is of much
consideration as a question of humanity.
No farmer with heart any bigger than a
hickory nut would deprive his cattle of
proper shade In the midst of our scorchIng
summer days.

ALL vegetables have an effect on the
chemistry of tie body, so that we cannot
speak too highly of their Importance at
table. Asparagus is strong diuretlc, sor-
rel is cooling. Carrots containing a guam
tity of sugar, are avoided by some people,
while others complain of them as lndiges-
tible. With regard to the latter accusa-
tion, it may be remarked in passing, that
it is the yellow core of the carrot that is
difficult Of digestiun-the outer red layer
is tender enough. The large sweet onion
is very rich In thoee alaline elements which
counteract the poison of rheumatic gout.
If slowly stewed in weak broth, aud eaten
with little Nepaul pepper, 1t Will be
found to be an admirable article OF diet
for PATIENT Of stucicus and sedentary
habits. The stalks of caulihower have
the same sort of value, only too often the
stalk Of a cauhflower is so lll-boiled and
unpalatable that few persons would thank
you for proposing TO them to make part OF
their meal consist Of so uninviting an artl-
Gle. Turnips in the same way, are often
thought to be indigestlble, the fault lies
with the COOK quite as much as with the

German COaL.-Hamburg has been the
scene of rather novel exhibition, that of
German coal, which we are told, has ex-
cited much interest among German patrl-
OTIS and commercial men. The idea that
Germany should endeavor to emancipate
herself from the English market and pro-
duce her own coal, has, it appears. ac-
quired a powerful hold upon the national
Imagination, and hence the promotion and
development of the German coal trade has
come to be looked upon as matter of pa
triotism.
1t is also alleged that WestpEalian coal
is superior in heating power to EDglish,
and Senator Godeffroy, in his address on
the occasion of the opening of the exhibi-
tion, even made it appear that Germany is
in possession of coal fields lncomparably
larger than any that England can show
The Westphalian coal basin alone, said NJ,
Godeffroy, is capable of producing for
centuries to come the same quantity of best
coal annually that all England now yields.
and beyond this, the basin is not vet fully
explored. and Is probable capable of ma
terial extension. With all these supposed
advantages Germany has not been able to
beat England out of the field on her own
ground. The city of Hamburg imported
in 1876 about 1900, 900 tons of coal, of
which about six-seventh were the produce
OF England, and only one-seventh of home
production.

TRoRBLE WITH BUTTER.-Butter Is one
Of the most complicated products its quail
ity depends upon great variety of condl-
tions-the COW. the food, the air of the
stable, the water, the mllk pals, pans, and
the place where the milk is set, besides
many other things. when cream becomes
covered with sort of pimpl9s all over the
surface, with here and there yellowIsh or
reddish dots or spots upon 1t, it is attacked
by species OF mildew or fungus which
very soon spreads all through it. This
spolls the flavor of the butter. From some
troublesome and careful experiments the
past winter the writer is convinced that
this Is caused by too much dampness in the
milk-room or cellar and the presence of
germs et mildew. The first was correc-
ted by putting some fresh lime in the milk
room, which absorbed the excess of mois-
ture, and by burning sulphur In il to dis
infect it and destroy the milder germs. By
burning sulphur, sulphurous acid is pro-
duced, and this is very active antiseptlc
and destructive of all kinds of molds, mil
dews and ferments. 1t would also be well
to look closely to the water drank by the
COWS.

IHE CURRANT. currant Is an ex
cellelt fruit and should be grown more
extensively than at present. Many years
ago currants were grown in great abun-
dance. There were few or no drawbacks
to their successful cultivation, for the cur
rant worm was not then known. This pest
has done much bad work for few years
past, but seems to be on the decline. For
the past two years we have been troubled
very little. The fruit is one of the most
agreeable, because of It's acid. and can be
used In variety of ways. 1t is excellent
for canning, preserving its flavor exceed
ingly well. One of the best varieties is
the Versalllaise. They can be readily
grown from cuttings. They should be
set early. Currant bushes thrive Eette1 on
a rich and rather moist soil.

ACodern 77roolodytes.-Dr. Oswald. in

Modern Troglodytes.-Dr. Oswald, in
an article in the Popular Science Monthly,
calls people who live and sleep in close
rooms, and neglect to breathe pure air,
modern Troglodytes. Common atmosphe-
ric air-pure aIr-ls as necessary to life
and health as food, more necessary, In
fact. The stomach may be without food
for tweuty-four hours without serious de-
trlment, and fer three days without en-
dangerlng lite, while the food for the lungs
cannot be totally stopped for six minutes
without fatal consequences. We take into
our lungs with every breath about onepint
of air, and breathe about twenty times per
minute, so that the quantity of gaseous
food thus consumed by the body amounts
In day to 675 cubic feet. Eating and
drinking are therefore secondary or sup.
Elementary TO the more important part
performed by the lungs. Everywhere on
the surface of the earth for fifty miles high
the air, mixed In the proper proportions
for healthy respiration. Is supplied to sus-
tain and build up animal life. Yet we
eontrive houses to exclude it as effectuaily
az the Nubian caves, and enclose ourselves
therein, and thus enfeeble the race. Thou
sands and tens of thousands actually die
annually from famine OF air. Our living
rooms, bedrooms, workshops, schoolrooms
public halls and churches are largely so
contrived that we take into the lungs over
and over again the same air that has been
exhaled, and It's vital element for building
up and sustaining the animal tissues ex-
hausted. Well does DR.. Oswald say 1t Is
distressngly probable that consumption,
that most fearful scourge Of the human
race, is not mysterious dispensation of
Providence" nor ''product OF our outra-
geous climate" but the direct consequence
of an outrageous violation of the physical
laws of nature. DIR. Haller thought that
| il God Furnishes suicide, he would make
an exception In favor OF Consumptives.
But can it be hoped that this exemption
will continue after men are made fully
conscious thai this direful disease can be
avoided by simply breathing constantly the
air prepared In the laboratory of nature.
instead ot the fa' al gases prepared, re-
tanned, and inhaled In our cave-like dwell
lings and places of public meetings.. Men,
women and children can only live in health
in fresh air. 1t may be more agreeable
and better to have the air equable In tenn
perature and not overloaded with moisture
but 1t is far better to have dampness, cole,
and changeableness, than to breathe the
gases left after the oxygen has been extrac-
ted from the air by passing through the
lungs, or the air has been disintegrated by
other processes. Let us repeat, then, what
has been so often said by medical men I.
Ventilated ventilate your workrooms, your
houses-particularly your sleeping rooms.
Remember that each person needs over
5000 cubic feet of fresh air every night.
Ventilate your schoolrooms, public halls
and churcnes.
