Ouoor Facts About Eels.

Young cells, in passing up a river,
lhow the most extraordinary persever-
Ince in overcoming all distractions.
The large hoodgates, sometimes fifteen
feet in height, on the Thames might be
supposed sufficient to bar the progress
Of a fish the size Of a darning needle, re-
marks the Rod and Gun. But young
cells have a wholesome idea that nothing
car stop them, and, in consequence,
nothing does. Speaking Of the way in
which they ascend flood. gates aud other
barriers, one writer says; "Those which
die stick to the post; others, which get
a little higher, meet with the same fate,
until at last a layer of them is formed
which enables the rest to overcome the
difficulty Of tho passage. The mortality
resulting from such '~forlorn hopes
greatly helps to account for the differ
ence in the number of young cells on
their upward migration and that Of those
which return down stream in the autumn.
In some places these baby cells are much
sought after and are formed into cakes,
which are eaten fried.
''Eels spawn like other fishes. For
long, however, the most remarkable
theories were held as to their birth.
One Of the old beliefs was that they
sprang from mud; a rival theory held
that young cells developed from frag-
meDts separated from their parents
bodies by the rubbing against rocks.
One old author not only declares that
they came from May-dew, but gave the
following recipe for producing them:
'Cut up two turfs covered with May
dew and lay one upon the other, the
grassy sides inward, and then expose
them to the heat of the sun. In a few
hours there will spring from them an in-
finite quantity Of eels.'"

An Ostrich's "~BrOmmlng."

'~"Bromming'' is the term applied to
the uuearthly sound that the ostrich
imagines to be song. When / first heard
it | actually mistook it for the trumpet
ing of a distant fog hornl In the desert
it might well be fit answer to the roar OF
the lion. SO very peculiar is the sound,
that | took pains to ascertain exactly how
it was produced. The process, after all,
is simple. The bird initiates his long
neck, till it looks like a great bag; he
then lets the air out in three installments.
He blows thus thrice in succession, max
ing nine roars in all. The performance
is then over for the time being. Brom-
ming is occasionally heard by day, but
more usually breaks the silence Of the
night, aud is probably meant as a chal.
leuge. Two of the herd always are on
guard while their companions. sleep.
They take turns in this duty.-Scieutiic

A Costume Of Rottlespake.sk,n.

Peter Gruber, the Rattlesnake King of
Venango County, has made the most
unique costume any man ever wore. 1t
consists of coat, vest, trousers, hat, shoes
and shirt, and is made entirely of the
skins of rattlesnakes. Seven hundred
snakes, all caught ana skinned by Gruber
during the past five years, provided the
material for this novel costume. To pre-
serve the brllliancy and tlexibility of the
skins in the greatest possible degree, the
snakes were skinned alive, first being
made unconscious by chloroform. They
were then tanned by a method peculiar
to Gruber, and are as soft and elastic as
wooden goods. The different articles
for this outfit were made by Oil City
~tailors, shoemakers and hatters, and the
costume is valued at S1000.-Pittsburg

TEMPERANcE NEWS ANp Norrs.


A temperance society has been estab-
lished in Harvard College.
Frances Willard is to spend some time In
England with Lady Henry Somerset this
winter talking of temperance.
There are $1,000 places for the sale of
liquor in Paris, and throughout the Re-
public there is one saloon for every eighty
seven people.
The Chief OF Police in Baltimore saws that
he never found boys in the saloons until
lager beer was introduced and games pre-
pared 10 entice them in.
A law was passed in England in 1850 to
the effect that at parties 'ladies must not
get drunk on any pretext whatever, and
gentlemen not before 3 O'clock"
Since women nave been appointed State
librarians in Kentucky aud Mississippi, an
absence OF whisky n tobacco is noticed,
and a reign OF order and attention begun.
Take something with me-" remarked one
laboring mar 70 another, heading him to-
ward a saloon. Take something from
your wife and children, you mean" replied
the other, and the first man blushed and
looked ashamed.
A friend TO the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of Moline, Ill.,, was Mrs.
Ann Atkinson, whose legacy OF $500 for the
work OF the union was accepted with deep
thanktulness and appreciation by her sor-
rowing co-Workers.
A Jealous missionary has carried the war
from Africa into Medford. He delivered
an imprisoned address in that ancient
Massachusetts, town the other day and ap-
pealed TO the inhabitants not to ship any
more rum to the East Indies.
The highest statistical authority in the
United States. David A. Wells, declares that
the yearly waste in the United States
through drink IS at least S5O0,OOO,O 09. In
fortN years $40, 600, 600, 600 awe been thus
wasted. This is equal 20 the whole savings

TIE nrvrR OF

THE RIVER OF RUM.
There's a river lark with a murky tide.
Its banks are high and its current wide,
And its %circling eddies are swift and strong,
Its constant roar is the SIRENS song.
The shores are all dark and mirey clay,
Strewn with life's hopes along the whole
way.
The fathers pride has gone down its wave,
The man OF great wealth as we'll as the slave,
The wise, the gifted, the brilliant and grand,
Have all been wrecked on its blighting
strand;
She who but lately was a laughing bride
Now mourns alone by the river side;
The widows and orphans who cry for bread
MoArn for the father who was worse than
dead.
That river 10 made of many a rill,
But the cause Of all comes out of the still,
The poison hid from the light Of the sun,
Forms the vast tide of the River Of Rum.

GARBAGE FOR LAYING HENS.

A head OF fresh green cabbage fas-
tened by a string to a nail in the side OF
the coop just high enough to permit the
hens to pick at it, is an excellent food
for winter, and besides it stimulates and
gives exercise that any healthy layer
must have. This is worth trying.
Cabbage should always be kept in a
cool place, handy to the poultry house;
a supply of it should be stored away
early in November. The lime and soda
phosphate contained in the cabbage
plant are essentially valuable to laying
hens when outdoor exercise is out of the
question, and the fields where such sub
stances are usually obtain ned are covered
with snow or ice.-New York lndepen-

FArrESNG Pig WITHOUT CORN.

Corn, the great pork producing food
Of the middle Western States, cannot
enter into the problem of pig feeding
throughout a greater portion Of the
State of Oregon. Hence the attempt Of
the Oregon Station to demonstrate the
success of feeding pigs without the aid
of this highly carbonaeeous food has an
interest it would not otherwise possess.
No very definite conclusion was fully
realized, yet it is said that some points
we're established which are very encour.

feeding in Oregon one Of the important

Enormous Consumption Of Fruit.


Those who have predicted that the
enormous increase In fruit growing in
California would glut the markets Of the
East have their best answer in the returns
made by several Southern California dis
tric,s. In Pomona, q Los Angeles
County colony that planted many acres
to olives about five years ago, the trees
are just coming into good bearing. The
picked olives Of Pomona have proved so
fiue that one New York wholesale grocer
this week sent out an order for 90, 900
gallons of these olives. The order could
not be filed, but il has given a great
stimulus to the olive industry, and sew
eral thousand acres will be planted to the
tree, which iourishes here as vigorously
as in the Holy Land. The orange grow
ers Of Southern California are also reap
ing a rich harvest. They have lost only
eight per cent. of their crop by frost and
wind, aud the total yield promises to
equal 1000 carloads, against $500 last
year. Buyers are paying 1925 a box
for the best fiuit, delivered at the rail-
read station. This means a return OF
from $500 to $500 an acre for groves
that are over eight years old, and from
800 20 $500 for trees that are from four
to eight years old. or course, a Cali
fornia orange grove represents a great
deal of care aud a long wait for returns,
but IL is doubtful il similar returns for
he money invested can be gained in hor-
ticulture in any other State in the Union,

Royal is placed first of the cream of tartar

Every other powder tested exhibited a much
lower strength than the Royal, the average
being 80 per cent. less.
Every other powder likewise showed the

The claim that this report shows any other powder of SUI

Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift

as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
