Hops in Polk County.

INDEPENDENTS, Ore, Sept. The
Importance of the hop industry in the
vicinity of this town is manifested in
the fact that enough hop pickers
could not be had here, so hands were
secured from Portland, and the result
is that there is a scarcity of laboring
men here now. This years crop will
not be quite up to the yield of last
year, but the quality is better. There
are nearly fifty hop yards in Polk
county, and in two of these 225 pick
ers will find wcrk. Some yards are
yielding 5000 pounds to the acre,
though the average is 1900 pounds.

HOW "SHE" SHRIVELS.
A Reporter Solves the Secret OF an
Illusion.

Those who have read that grewsome
romance that sounds like the relation
Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. have
shuddered at the terrible end of the
mysterious being, who, in order
to assure her reborn lover, steps into
the fire of life, and is shriveled up like
a monkey and falls into a mummified
heap of dried skin and crumbling bone.
The cold types convey the strange
writer's vivid imagination, but to
look upon an imitation that IS so real
that it deceives the most inquisitive
and defies the closest scrutiny, must be
the realization of the thoughts of those
who have read the cerie tale and specu-
lated on witnessing such sight, fanci-
full as it is. The presentation of the
awful spectacle in the cavern of the fire
of life the stage effects are something
startling, the spectator being constant
ly bewildered by the realistic represen-
tations Of scenes that emanated from
the brain of the peculiarly imaginary
author.
1t will be remembered that in the
novel the party of shipwrecked travel
ers, after many strange adventures in
the caves of the Amhagger, enter the
home of the awful She, and by her are
conducted to the spot where they are
to undergo baptism of fire and to be-
come Iegenerated and endowed with
eternal life. Led on by the mystical
being, infatuated with the reborn
Kallikrates, they enter the gloomy
cavern where the fire comes and goes,
filling the depths of the blackness, in
which they are enveloped with a rosy
glow. With smile the beautiful Great
ure steps into the roaring fames expect
ing to reappear more beautiful than
ever. Instead she emerges hideous
old woman. who, with harsh cry of
agony, sinks to the ground and shrivels
up before the Mortified spectators.
A reporter visited Heuck's the other
night and, through the kindness of
Manager Fennessy, penetrated the strik-
ing Illusion. The audience saw clouds
OF smoke rolling up, sheet of fame
whirliDg about, sparks seething up and
the cackle and the roar plainly audible.

stepped apparently into IT, disappeared

Preservation of Food In Siberia.

To appreciate the severity of the cli-
mate of Northern Siberia, it is only
necessary to understand the practical
purposes it is made to serve. The en-
tire country is used as vast refrigera-
tor III preserving articles of food.
One day traveller, dining at Tomsk
on a plumb fowl, asked how long the
bird had been killed. The landlord evil
IDENTIFY softened his reply as much as
possible, knowing the repugance of
most foreigners to any food not quite
fresh.
Two months only he said. Not
day more
No precautions are required for the
preservation of beef. for it takes care of
itself. Nearly all butchers kill at the
beginning of the cold weather a suffi-
cient number of animals to furnish pro-
visions for the entire winter and allow
the meat to freeze. There is no fear of
any food changing in such tempera-
ture. The fish become so solid and
stiff that they are set up on their tails
against the walls Of the markets, be the
tail ever so long and the fish ever so
heavy.
Often fruits preserved in ice are
placed upon the table of the Siberian
evening meal, the method of keeping
them being similar to that employed
with meats. AS soon rs the severe
cold sets in they are exposed to the air,
if possible, toward the north, where
there is no sun to reach them, they thus
become completely frozen.
When eaten they are found to have
retained their flavor marvelously, not
withstanding their change from fro
zen rigidity to the thawed state neces
sary for use. At the moment OF being
served they are usually as hard as
wood, and, if they chance to fall, rattle
like stones upon the floor. The heat
of the room gradually softens them and
they assume their original form.
Such a convenient climate ought GER
tainly to simplify the labors of market
men and housekeepers.
