Rainmakinr bx Faith.

Some forty years ago, on a cloudlese
Sabbath morning, the president of Ober-
lin college, Professor Phinney, walked
briskly to the chapel-there had been a
distressing drought and began the SER
vice with an extremely fervent prayer
for rain. The prayer was long, and be-
fore itwas finished the skies began to
darken, and almost before the congre-
CATION was dismissed a copious rain be-
gan to fall. The suggestive fact in this
relation is that President Phinney had
been observed during the morning to
give very watchful attention to the ba-
rometer.-H. Chandler in Science.

OREGON's SHOWING
AT CHICAGO
NEXT YEAR

Remains in doubt, but there
is no question about the
PORTLAND INDUSTRIAL EX-
PosITIoN-which opens Sep
tember 21st and closes October
22d, being the best Exposition
ever held on the Pacific Coast.
So far as Oregon is concerned
it will be the forerunner of the
Exposition at Chicago in
1898. The principal attrac-
tions are the magnificent
American Band of Providence,
r., /. An art collection
valued at $35O,OO0, and en-
bracing some of the greatest
pictures owned in the United
States. Immense Horticult-
ural and Agricultural exhibits,
the result of the combined
efforts of almost every county
in the state. A mineral ex-
hibit Exceeding all former
years. A Stock Department
showing tremendous progress.
To these are added a larger
number of exhibits than ever
before; including magnifi-
cent electrical display under
the combined Thomson-Hous-
ton and Edison Companies.
All manufactures in full oper-
alton. Government models
of Battle Ships. The wonder
full Hall of Mystery. The
marvellous Little World, the
product of a mechanical
genius; all interspersed by
novelties incident to the pop
|ular special days. Every
thing new and nothing dead.
Greatly reduced rates on all

Rain WITHOUT Clouds.

We have it on the authority of Sir j.
G. Ross that in the south Atlantic it
rained ON one occasion for over an hour
when the sky was entirely free from
clouds. In the Mauritius and other
parts of the southern hemisphere this is
not rare occurrence; but in Europe it
is, and the greatest known length of its
duration was ten minutes at Constanti-

Origin of Two weller stories.

Many of Dickens stories referred to
events much spoken of at the time. The
story of the marbles was doubtless
founded on tale then current, and the

after eating mullins was an elaboration
of the account of the suicide of the Hon.

The Starch Duty.

The duties on starch are levied for private revenue only. As we import very little starch because of the pro- hibitory tariff on it, all this tax upon cleanliness goes to the starch trust and hardly any to the government. The tariff of two cents a pound is tax which the foreigner does not pay, and unfortunately it is tariff which does not lower the price of starch. This was confessed by the starchmakers them selves in comical way when they con- plained at the treasury department that starch was being sold in the American market for less than the price fixed by the syndicate, conclusive proof, they said, that it was being smuggled into the country.
 Treasury detectives went to work, and they found that cargoes of starch had been smuggled in under another name and had wickedly lowered the price of starch. The unlawful importation be- ing stopped the price of starch went up again, and every houseleeper in the land twas condemned to pay to private citi, zens fine of two cents pound on every pound of starch she was reckless enough to buy. The moral of this example will apply to hundreds of other articles diff fering from starch only in the size of the tax levied upon them and the share of it's proceeds given to the government.-- M. M. Trumbull.

PeCk'S Averages.

In showing up the untrustworthiness of Commissioner Peck's "average an- nual earnings" the New York Commer- cial Bulletin, a nonpartisan trade jour nal, says: "As to the value of such averages as these MT. Peck gave an opinion in his report in 1888 as follows: in the preparation of wage tables the effort has been to get down to actual facts. The statement of averages has been purposely omitted as tending only to mislead.' In 1888 MT. Peck would not average separately the wages of blacksmiths. carpenters or bricklayers because such averages would be mis- leading, and yet in his report for 1891 he averages the wages of all the skilled and unskilled men, women, boys and girls employed upon the greatest diversity of work, and attempts to use these aver ages in showing whether the tariff has favorably or unfavorably affected wages The utter worthlessness of this report is too apparent to need further considera- tion 5

"Sit" and s6Set."

Some one who believes in teaching by example, has concotced lesson in the use of two little words which have been source of modification and trouble to many well-meaning persons.
 A man, or woman either, can set a hen, although they cannot sit her; neither can they set on her, although the hen might sit on them by the hour if they would allow it.
 A man cannot set on the wash-bench, but he could set the basin on it, and neither the basin nor the grammarians would object.
 He could sit on the dogs tail if the dog were willing, or he might set his foot on it. But if he should set on the aforesaid tail, or sit his foot there, the grammarians as well as the dog would howl, metaphorically at least.
 And yet the man might set the tail aside and sit down, and be assailed neither by the dog nor by the gram marianS.

A TALK ABOUT SNAKES.

How the Rattler and Other Poisonous
 Reptiles Attack People.
 My only rattlesnake was caught alive by young girl who had that summer killed eleven on her farm in California. This snake has five rattles, which, if we believe they denote the age, will show that he is five years old. Darwin believed that the rattle, besides being used as 8 warning to keep off the snakes enemies, sometimes is employed to call their mates.
 The heads of most of the venomous snakes, including the ''rattlers,'' bulge just beyond the neck. Without excep- tion they have fangs, either always erect or raised and laid back at will. These fangs are long, sharp-pointed teeth, with hollow groove running their entire length. At the root of each fang is little bag of poison. When the snake bites the motion presses the poison sac and its contents flow down through the hollow in the tooth into the puncture or wound. The harmless little forked tongue is often spoken of by the uninformed as the snakes 'stinger." Now, there is no propriety in the name, as the poisonous snakes do not sting, but bite, their vic tins. There is no creature, even if brought from foreign countries where ''rattlers" do not exist, but will halt and trcmble at the first warning sound of the rattle.
 Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, with others, has been making experiments with the venom of different serpents. He has found that, aside from its poisonous qualities, it contains living germs, which have the power of increasing enormously fast. So, you see, when an animal is bitten, these tiny bits of life, entering with the poison, cause harm full action to begin almost at once. Dr. Mitchell has found that the nervous center controlling the act of striking seems to be in the spinal cord, for if he cut off a snakes head, and then pinched it's tail, the stump of it's neck turned back, and would have struck his hand had he been bold enough to hold it still.
 When a snake has bitten several times, the poison is quite exhausted for the time being, rendering the animal comparatively harmless. It is said to be this fact which enables the Indian snakc-charmers to handle their charges

DRIVEN OUT eY TIE TARIFF.

The Tax on Raw Materials Sends Q Large
 New Haven Concern West.
 Another instance of the evil effects on manufacturing industries of the Repub- lican policy of placing high tariff duties on imported raw materials is afforded by the contemplated removal to the west of a large hardware factory in New Haven. The concern is the largest manufactory. in New Haven, and is owned by the mayor, J. B. Sargent. Some 5000 hands are employed and all kinds of hardware are manufactured. But the Mckinley act, with its high duties on raw materials, has had a bad effect on the business of the concern, and removal to Milwaukee is now contem- plated. In explanation of his reason for making such change Mayor Sargent says:
 "Under the present tariff laws we could obtain raw material v at much cheaper rates in the west than we can here. If raw material were admitted free of duty vessels from all over the world would be unloading their cargoes of such material in New York, so that the iron and coal kings of Pennsylvania would be obliged to meet the New York prices. In that case New York would be the great center for raw material and New Haven would be far better place for such plant as ours than any city in the west.
 What is the case at present? On ac- count of the existing tariff the dealers in raw materials in the west put up prices as high as the price of foreign raw ma terial which comes into New York bur dened by 8 heavy import tax. The loss all falls on the manufacturer. We must pay $6.72 ton for iron and about $4 1C a ton for lead and so on. In the west the cost of raw material is cheaper be- cause there is less freight to pay, and in year this extra freight amounts to con siderable"
 Mayor Sargent's statements carry their own moral. Let the high protec tionist draw conclusions from them favorable to his favorite policy if he can. But what in the light of these statements, becomes of the Republican claim that the American consumer doe> not pay the tax which the Mckinley act imposes on raw material?

without danger. They tease them into anger, when they will readily bite a stick or bundle of rags, and so exhaust their venom.
 Perhaps it will be well here to say a few words more in regard to snake charmers. Many kinds of serpents, es, pecially the hooded cobra of India, are thought to be affected by music. In capturing them for exhibition the h. dian takes his bagpipe, and, stationing himself near an old well or ruin, begins to play. A cobra is almost certain tc make its appearance soon, for they are very numerous in that country. They are held in sacred reverence, the little children calling them ''uncle" and set ting saucers of milk for them to drink, and they are looked upon as guardian angels. Should one be killed the slayer would suffer death in punishment. As the music of the bagpipe rises and falls the snake seems to sway slowly to and fro, and all unconscious, is seized by the musician's confederate. In this state of musical excitement the snakes are said to be quite safe to handle, all though I think should not care to trv it myself.-Margaret w. Leighton, in St Nicholas

Absurd State Laws.

It is the common belief that Yer gennes, Vt, which was incorporated in 17ss and now contains only 1,773 in habitants: is the smallest city in the United States People who hold this belief, however. are vastly mistaken, says the New York Tribune. They are not aware of the facility with which olties are created under the elastic laws of the state of Kansas, whi1h has no limit on the inferior side to determine when village may assume the dignity of cityhood. In that state there are no less than 362 incorporated cities, while the total number of cities in the United States is only about 1,6e7. Of the 362 Kansas cities, only 16 have more than 5000 inhabitants, S15 have less than B. 900, 266 have less than 1000, and 10 have less than 100 inhabitants apiece At the date of the last census the duly incorporated cities of Avilla and Ap- pomattox in that state rejoiced in the sum total of 24 inhabitants each. The absurdity of a system which permits such state of things ought to bring about a change in the laws that would make it impossible.
