 Numbered with other sessonable farm conveniences that have been invented and tested by ingenious farmers is the one represented in the annexed cut. This is a device for drawing fodder or corn and fodder. Its great advantage, says the h. diana correspondent who described it in Rural New Yorker, is that very large load can be put on it. It is also claimed for it that the contrivance can be con- venieatly loaded by one man, and that it Is very cheap,

The Oldest European Tongue.

The oldest European language is that spoken in the Basque provinces in Spain, and also in Navarro. It is called the Basque language. and is spoken by about 6O0,0Oo French and Spanish people. It cannot be classed with any Indo-European or Semitic tongue, and appears to be of earlier origin, presenting some grammatical anelogies with Mongol, North American and certain East African languages.

The apple ripens on the tree, The hen brings forth her second brood, And daily by the sounding sea The collar wits upon the dude. The mowers singing in the mead, The rose the air with fragrance fills, The wild tomato runs to seed, The icemen send their little bills. >' We daily see the yachtsman trim His saucy vessels sheets and tacks; At evening in bay windows dim And dusky there are little smacks.

THE PAPER CITY"-The daily pro-
duct of paper of Holyoke, Mass, is
closely estimated at the enormous
amount of III tons. In this manu-
facture more than S., 100000 in capi-
tai is employed, and between 1000
and 5000 hands are employed, whose
monthly wages aggregate upwards of
100000. A large part of the product
is fine writing and book paper, but
there is great production of bond
and ledger paper, bristol board and
glazed chrome and envelope papers,
and manila writing paper by the chem
ical process. While most OF the pro-
duct finds market in the United
States, it makes its way also into
Europe, South America and Australia,
and there are good judges who con-
fidently expect in the near future
Holyoke will be not only the greatest
manufacturing. but also the greatest
paper-exporting city in the world.
There was time when the finest
stationery sold in the United States
came from Aberdeen, Scotland, but il
was years ago. Holyoke came into
the field and made grade of such un.
equalled excellence that the foreigners
ceased TO be competitors in either
quality or price.

AFTER all it was a very close elec-
ton in the decisive States. Harrison's
majority in California is only 1924
and his plurality over President Cleve-
land is only S,496. In 1854 Blaine's
majority was 8,211, and the plurality
over Cleveland was 1881. The Pro-
hibition vote of California in 1884
was 1859. This year it is 5,S14, a
rather remarkable and admonitory in
crease. In New York Harrison g
plurality over Cleveland is so small
that change OF one vote in one hun
dred would have reversed it. In such
a hotly contested fight these close re-
suits imply very interesting future
in politics and they have tendency
to put parties on their good behavior.
Several Western States are in the
same line. Indiana elects a strong
Democratic majority in the Legisla-
ture, and all the members of Congress
but three are Democrats. Illinois
greatly narrows the debatable margin
between the two parties and makes it
easily possible for one of the side par
ties, notably the Prohibitionists, to
defeat either at the next election.

DURING the campaign y Pennsyl-
vania labor orator told this story: "a
farmer had a son who showed no spe-
cial aptitude for business, and he was
puzzled what to do with him. He
concluded to try an experiment, so he
locked the boy in room where there
was only an apple, u Bible and a dol
lar. A few minutes later he stole to
the room. He made up his mind that
if he found the boy eating the apple
he would make a good farmer. II he
were reading the Bible he should be
trained for the pulpit, and if he had
taken the money his success as brok-
er, his father thought, was assured.
Upon entering the room he found the
boy sitting upon the Bible, eating the
apple, with the dollar in his pocket
The boy became an able politician"

The Solar Eclipse.

1T WILL OCCUR JANUARY /, AND WILL
BE VISIBLE THRoUGHOUT OREGON
AND WASHINGTON IF THE CLOUDS
PERMIT.
New York, Nov. 20.-Mr Garret f..
Serviss, the Secretary of the American
Astronomical Society, the well-knOwn
lecturer and writer on Astronomy, was
asked to-day what there was peculiar
and interesting in the eclipse of the
sun which is to occur on the 1st OF
January next, and for the observation
of which Harvard University has al
ready fitted out costly expedition to
go to the Pacific coast
"Well, in the first place." said Mr..
Seryiss, can eclipse Of the sun is al
ways in the highest degree interesting,
because there is hardly any phenome-
non of the heavens at once SO start
ling, so beautiful and so awe-aspiring.
This is perhaps not so popularity un-
derstood, because the number of per-
sons who have ever seen Il solar eclipse
is very small. Probably the majority
OF astronomers themselves have never
seen one. You understand, of course,
that l am speaking OF total eclipse.
Millions have seen partial eclipses
but in order to see total eclipse you
must be somewhere along line
of only a few miles wide, from which
the moon, at the moment that it
comes between the sun and the earth.
will be exactly in line between the eye
of the observer and the center of the
sun. Then the moon for a few min
utes will completely cover the sun,
shutting off it's light and heat so ef-
fectually that chickens go to roost, and
the observers frequently shiver with
the sudden lowering of the tempera-
ture OF the air. Then, too, with start
ling suddenness, those great AMI mys-
terious banners of the sun, that as
trOnomers call the corona, are seen
displayed in the sky around the hid
den orb, like vast streamers and enor-
nous spreading beams of nebulous
light. Occasionally with the naked
eye, and always with the telescope,
fiery red masses like huge tongues of
flame may be seen projecting beyond
the black edge of the moon at various
points around the border of the hid
den sun.
