INC production OF Pollen.

The immense number of pollen grains
produced by single flower apparently
initiates against the saying that nature
allows nothing to be formed but what is
needful. It seems, indeed, a vast waste
of material to have such multitude Of
grains when so very few would answer
the same purpose. In single flower of
the peony there are about three and a
half millions grains; a flower of the dan
delion is estimated to produce nearly
two hundred and fifty thousand; the
number of ovules in flower of the Chi
nese wisteria has been counted and the
number of pollen grains estimated. and
it is found that for each ovule there are
seven thousand grains.
While few fall below the thousands
many rise far above the peony in point
of numbers. These are the wind fertil
lied flowers, and here nature must pro
vide for an immense loss of material. =
Professor Joseph E. james in Popular
Science Monthly.

a LAZY MANS PARADISE.

The People of Paraguay Take Things
Easy and DO Not Like to Work.
Butter is very rare in the Paraguavap
capital, because the peasants will not at
tend to their COWS, lead them to good
pasture and work churn at Asuncion
we have seen the cows turned ont into
the street to Craze where. there is next
to nothing to,eat At Villa Conception
the case is the same. whereas If the COWS,
were led half al mile TO the edge of the
town they would find abundant pasture
and give good milk This is only one
instance out Of q thousand
Take, again, those old and young
women we saw squatting in the market,
with little scraps of produce spread out
before them Suppose they sell this for
ten cents, they have enough to buy mate,
tobacco and mandioca, which are their
chief ailments, and thus they keep the
household going. with the help Of or
anges, that lie in many places a foot deep
on the ground. A caustic observer has
said that the Paraguayan peasant lives
on mate and the smell of creased rag.
The creased rag is an exaggeration.
Mate, mandioca, tobacco. sugar cane,
oranges, and cana rum as a luxury, such
dIo bu0 OIUluhEy duU EXTRAORDINARY dI-
ticles of consumption. With poor food
such as this the men are. naturally weak
and indolent; and being at the same
time the lords of creation they pass their
lives in meditative laziness and leave the
women to do what little work is abso-
lutely required to keep a roof over their
heads.
I These Paraguayans, poor and ignorant
as they may be, are proud and suscep-
tible; they never say thank you except
as a formula of refusal; it is. useless to
order them about; they must be treated
with gentleness and persuasion, as equals,
and even then not much can be got out
Of them. So was told by a dozen men
who had varied experience in the coun-
try. The educated Paraguayans them
selves admit this much, but without
notable disapproval, and with an impa-
tient click of the tongue against the
teeth and much writhing and Struggling
of neck and shoulders they will protest
against Americanism. progress and doing
things quickly.

MAL1cIousLY Y M1sREPRFsENrED.

In the Rochester, N. Y, Post Express
appeared series of interviews which re-
porters of these journals had with one
j. NJ. McMasters, who lately owned
half interest in the Dufur rolling mills
and who is not unknown to several peo-
: pie in The Dalles. The interviews are
the product of a seemingly bitter and
disappointed man. They aboundin rock
less statements about the resources of
the three states of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho, which, coming from one who
:professes to know every foot of the
northwest are calculated to make false
Impression especially when published in
Journals of established reputation. The
attention Of Major G.. w. Ingalls,, who
has for some time been engaged on this
coast rs a special correspondent of sew
eral papers in California and the east,
having been called to these misrepre-
sentations, he has volunteered to give
them partial contradiction, in a letter
addressed to a personal friend, in the
city of Rochester, who will doubtless see

good. Major Ingalls, has kindly placed
y copy of the letter at our disposal which
reads as follows:
THE DALLEs, Or, August 1tth, 1891
Geo. Burtiagame, Esq, Rochester, N. Y.
DEAR SIR: My attention was this day
called to the articles published, in the
Post Express, of your city, regarding
Seufert Bros vineyard and orchard OF
this place. 1 showed these articles to
Mr.. F. A: Seufert who read the same
and he authorized me to make the fol
lowing statement: The Seufert Bros
have been at The Dalles for the past
eleven years. The first four years they
were successfully engaged in buying and
shipping fruit, and sold out their good
will for 1000. Since selling out the
fruit buying and shipping business they
have continuously engaged in the rails
ing and shipping of fruit, generally tc
eastern markets. Their fruits have
frequently come in competition with
California fruits and yet have mere,
suffered fiem such competition; but
often their fruits have COMMANDED
higher prices than those of California
Montana, Idaho and Dakota when
laid side by side.
One casein point Messrs. Senfert Bros
had expressed 200 boxes OF Bartlett Pear:
to Butte, Montana the charges and box.

rhe rru,h in Hot wsather.

We are accustomed to say that the
Americans are generally truthful peo-
pie. Is it owing to our climate? That
has great extremes. The mean is fair,
and produces national veracity. Whence
comes, then, the habit Of playful exag-
geration, usually harmless, and perfectly
understood as humorous Is it the re-
suit of the extremes of heat and cold, es-
pecially of heat? Observation ought to
tell us whether we are more truthful in
the winter than in the summer, and
whether the national habit of using ice
water for a beverage is an attempt to
counteract the .veracity destroying power
of high temperature.
There is no doubt that we unbend in
summer: moral reforms relax; the city
churches are closed: society falls into S
flirtatious way, and only rounds up int
seriousness of intention with the advent
of the bracing autumn. Apparently i
is the first frost that tones us up int
veracity. It is humiliating depend

pears were in that market then. The
Fish statement of Mr.. McMasters, Mr..
Seufert said was entirely false and that
part of their business had always been
very profitable. They further said they
knew ofthe defunct Tenino Packing COM
pany, and that it had little or no capital
when it began business, and the mana
ger wasted by dissolute habits little
money put into it by worthy citizen
here. That because of his, vile habits
he lost the confidence of all who did
business with him, and which finally

The vacant Tenino rooms have been

sample box of peaches by express, one

1t is too far to ship peaches and 1 fear
these may not arrive in good condition.
1 will send you a box of Bartlett pears
later. The peaches will net Messrs.
Seufert $l.25 per box. The crop last
year realized $1.00 per box. 700 four
year old cherry trees have netted 81 400
this season, and when three years older
should realize double this amount.
They have SO acres in grapes and will
put out so acres more next spring, besides
putting out 60 acres more in apricots,
which is evidence of their faith in the
future of the fruit business in this Sec
ton. When they started in fruit culture,
all their capital was 81 200, and that was
invested in drifting sand referred to by
Mr.. McMasters, and some of which, he
says, was in danger of blowing on to
North Dalles. Today this orchard and
vineyard cannot be bought for $50 900,
and all of it has been made out OF. the
fruit business, and right on the present

tai to start an immense fishing business.
