An Incident of Trax,l,

Not long ago, when one of the great
through western trains left New York
city, man and a woman, aged about
eighty, got on the cars. They were ac-
companied by younger man, who ap-
peared to be their son, who got their
tickets to some place in Nebraska, put
them on the cars and left them Shortly
after passing Poughkeepsie the old lady
was taken i'll. This drew around them
sympathizers, and upon inquiry it was
found that they had but very indefi-
nate idea of the journey before them, and
that they had only dollar and some
cents in money between them.
The passengers raised collection
which furnished them with berth in
one of the sleeping cars to Chicago and
seven dollars in money. 1t was evident
from their actions that neither of them
had ever seen a drawing room or sleep
ing car before, and the luxury and COM
fort was something entirely outside of
their experience. They went on, the
picture of content, and it is to be hoped
reached their destination in safety

How . HUSBAND should BE neearded.

How Husband Should Be Regarded.
At recent meeting Of Sorosis, at
which the subject of Husbands" was
discussed, Mrs. Herrick attributed the
failure of marital happiness to girls be-
ing taught to expect too much happi-
ness from marriage, and that love is its
only essential by romances, poetry, songs
and tradition. But, while not belittling
love, she claimed that respect based
upon superior qualities; esteem for those
attributes that would make the wife de-
sire the husband as a friend if she could
not have him for "a husband; common
sense, which teaches her that faulty
band, and great patience-"that passion
of noble souls"-are quite as essential
elements in the domestic bliss
She cautioned the wife against holding
up her soul to her husband always with
a thorn in it. Men cannot understand
intangible griefs and unrest. She also
said that one of the first lessons wife
has to learn is that her husband has a
right to his own individuality, and that
while she can inspire him to greater
achievement in work for which he has
q bias, she cannot, as she may fondly
dream, mold his character, and she
wouldn't respect him if she could
Girls should be taught that marriage
is not the gateway of heaven, and that
even at this Eden the angel stands with
the flaming sword to turn back souls that
seek an earthly paradise. Women should
know their lovers so well that marriage
can bring no great disappointments.
Marriage rs not match made in heaven,
but AN earthly union founded on mutual
respect, over which the love that made
the bond possible sheds tender infiu-
ence.-New York Sun

A wonderful pakota wel,.

The reports from the artesian well
at Huron, N. D., show that it is the
most wonderful well known to exist.
The water spouts up to a distance
of about 100 feet, and the amount that
flows from the well is tremendous,
being estimated at from 5000 to 10000
gallons minute. Even at the lowest
figures enough water is elected to
furnish every man, woman and child in
the state of North Dakota with at least
four gallons of water every four hours.
AS to the pressure, that has not vet
been fully ascertained, but from tests
already made it is known to be consider
ably more than 200 pounds to the square
inch. With fair test it is likely to
reach 22S pounds. The pressure has
steadily increased in the last three days.

Archduke Joseph and the Gypsies.


On being appealed to some time ago
by the Archduke Joseph. the Austrian
emperor gave him permission to act with
regard to the gypsies in Hungary as he
thought best. The archduke, who is the
friend of these wild people, founded the
colony of Tsigan, in the neighborhood
of his estate of Alosuth. He built them
sixty small houses for sixty families and
made them apply their energies to agri-
culture and the trades. He named a
youth of twenty strong, tall and hand
some-as their "woiwode," and selected
pretty girl for his wife
After course of religious instruction
the pair were christened, and few days
ago their marriage took place in the
Church of Alosuth. The archduke and
his managers were the witnesses. The
archduke wore the dress of a gypsy
''woiwode," and, according to Romany
custom, carried tall bamboo staff, with
an enormous nosegay and some brilliant
drapery.-London News.

The Oregoniian SAYS:

Astoria and The Dalles think no work
ought to be done on the Lower William
cite and Columbia Rivers because it
would benefit Portland only. Let us
see how wider application of this prin-
clple would work. Why should a good
word be said for a railroad to Astoria L?
1t would benefit Astoria only. And why
should an appeal be made for construc
tlon of portage road at The Dalles on
the Oregon side? 1t would benefit the
town OF The Dalles only, while road on
the Washington side would serve the
country equally well, perhaps better.
Come to think of it, there is no commun-
ity OF interest in state. Every locality
for itself, and the devil take the hind
most.
Whatever may be true of Astoria it is
not true that The Dalles is opposed to
the deepening OF the channel of the lower
Columbia. But The Dalles people. if we
may speak for them, claim, and with
absolute justice, that a portage at the
Dalles is of more importance to greater
number of people and a wider extent of
territory than deep channel from Port
land to Astoria. Ii is utterly untrue
that portage at the Dalles would ben
eft The Dalles only. The Dalles has
abundance of transportation facilities
both by rail and water. What The
Dalles would insist upon is, that if the
present five cent congress is only going
to appropriate few hundred thousand
dollars for the improvement of the Col
umbia that that sum should be devoted
to the Dalles portage. A small amount
OF money devoted to this purpose would
be of more benefit to greater number
than If the same amount were spent on
the lower river. A deep channel from
Portland to the sea would benefit Port
land, a portage at the Dalles would BEN
efit three states. 1t is beyond question.
however, that there are hundreds of
mossbacks in Portland who fear the
Dalles portage, lest it should be the
means of earring river freight past that
city to Astoria. The Oregon common
wealth is cursed with some very small
souled inhabitants.

port and as an Art Center.
Chicago has never called herself the
Paris of America or been even remotely
suspected of claiming to be a seaport.
She has so far contented herself with
having the iveliest board of trade and
most extraordinary changes in prices of
produce in the world, and incidentally
with the biggest fire, the quickest re-
covery, the most rapid general growth
and the most phenomenal local politics
in all history.
But there is no telling what may hap
PENN Chicago. The city now has
valid claim to some direct commerce
with Europe, and has made splendid
start toward becoming an art center.
The local explanation of the long delay
in art culture is not particularly flatter-
ing, but it reads like the cold truth.
Chicago people, say the apologists, have
heretofore not lived here-that is, not
exactly-they have just sort O. camped
down, many of them with vague idea of
going somewhere else as soon as they got
rich. There has not been time for a
sentimental local patriotism to grow up.
There is plenty of material for it too.
The site is fat enough, but the history is
picturesque. The growth Of the city is
thrilling romance in itself. The first
printed notice of the place appeared in
1858 in a map made in Montreal. Fort
Dearborn was built in 1904. Aug. Is,
1912, occurred the massacre of the gar
rison. In 1880 the town was laid off; in
1887 it became city. The rest you can
find in the encyclopedia. Local boomers
already speak of itas city with mil
lion and a quarter of people. The exact
figures are Of little consequence. IF it
has not SO many now it soon will have,

In Menorlan.

The sad death of Mr.. Benjamin Soule,
a well known citizen of Buxton, has car
ried grief to the hearts of large circle
of friends who mourn his loss as an open
hearted, genial man, a true and faithful
friend. Mr.. Soule passed from earth at
his residence in Groveville little before
8 o'clock Monday evening, August 9Th.
He had been indisposed for many
months, but from the skilful treatment
of his physician decided improvement
was noticeable. Being an active man he
left his home for Portland on the morn
ing of July LIST. When about seven
miles from home he came in contact
with frightened horse and received
fatal injury. Every kind attention from
loving ones at home and the best medical
skill was not sufficient to save him.
During the long days and tedious nights
eff suffering not murmur, not COM
plant was uttered, and the tender care
known and fully appreciated by him.
The deceased was born at Pownal
December4, 1877. In January, 1877, he
came to make Groveville his home and
new acquaintance his friends. Mr..
Soule leaves a widow and nine children,
five sons and four daughters who with
the exception of a son and daughter
were present to perform the last sad
duty. ..
In this community there is left void
which will not easily be filled, for in his
nature was found the most genial dis
position combined with the most gener-
Gus impulses, and while we feel he is at
rest, to his grave there will wander for
years many thoughts regretful Of the
sudden termination of bis Life. =

LiKne-PIaster.

Both lime and plaster vary greatly, &C
cording to conditions, in their effect on
soil and crops, and their usefulness can
be best learned by first using them ex-
perimentally or small plots. Lime is
an excellent decomposer of vegetable
substances, and in soils where they
abound has the effect of converting in
soluble matter into available foed for
plants. Then IT'S mechanical effect in
changing the texture of many soils is
often highly. improving. It is common
ly most useful IN this respect on heavy
and adhesive soils, but it is also often
applied advantageously on lands of a
different character. The crops on which
gypsum or plaster produce the best eff
fects are the clovers and leguminous
plants generally. It should be applied
to the surface in a finely pulverized
condition, and its beneficial effects are
attributed in part to it's fixing and con-
serving ammonia for the use of plants.

RENNET AND CHEESE CURING.

The Effect Quantity of Rennet Has ON
Cheese Curing. v
The experiments which have been
made under my supervision indicate
that the larger the quantity Of rennet
which is used to coagulate the milk the
larger will be the percentage of moist
ure retained with the fat and casein in
the cheese. In cases where the larger
percentage of moisture has been reduced
to that in cheese made from similar
milk by the use of a smaller quantity of
rennet, the curing in both cases pro-
crossed about equally.
The reduction in the quantity of mois-
ture was effected by stirring the curd to
a slightly drier condition, or by the
addition of larger quantity of salt.
The experiments in the use of differ
emit quaint ties Of rennet were for the
purpose of inducing cheesemakers to
use more rennet in order to secure an
earlier and speedier separation Of the
moisture Tor whey) out of the curd.
During the hot weather Of summer ev-
cry climatic change is an increased
menace to the keeping qualities of
cheese. Every agent which brings about
dry condition of the curd without in
jury before the acid development of
the curd has made much progress ef-
fectually counteracts the tendency to-
ward early decay. In my estimation
the curing of cheese is a consequence of
fermentation. The agent Of that fer
mentation does appear to be either rem
net or the bacteria of Tactic ferment.
The action of the latter would be to
make the cheese progressively sourer.
I am unable to define the precise
nature of the fermentation which pro-
ceeds concurrently with the curing.
Recent Investigations by German bac-
teriologists reveal the fact that the num-
bers of bacteria in given small quantity
Of cheese become prodigiously greater as
the curing progresses. They seem to
multiply with greater rapidity in soft or
moist cheese than in those which are
comparatively dry and close meated.
We know that soft, moist cheese cures
faster than dry cheese from the same
milk held at the same temperature.
Therefore if wished to make a rapid
curing cheese would adopt such a
method as would be certain to leave
more moisture in the cheese. If
wanted to make long keeping cheese
I would use methods to get rid of the
moisture and make a mare comnaat
