1t is perfectly proper for the Baker
county delegation to favor the free and
unlimited coinage of silver; they are a
silver producing community, and the
law would enrich them. 1t would also
be perfectly proper for the Wasco
county delegation to oppose free coinage /;
it would impoverish them. If the Sher-
man unty delegation is populist, as
has once been claimed, it would be per-
f-ctly proper for them to advocate fiat
money; they cannot or will not earn it
and Ihev want it given to them. 1t is
proper for all sections to advocate what
will nn,st benefit them. Then when all
the delegations meet at Portland, the
cnnseu-us of opinion from all combined
will in,iicate the will of the majority, the
prinrinle which is the pearl of our re-
Publican government-the principle of
the greatest good to the greatest number.

BAROMETER OF THE SENATE
If the Press Gallery Is Crowded Be Sure
Something Interesting Is on Foot.

If the Press Gallery Is Crowded Be Sure
Something Interesting Is Foot.
The movements of the press gallery
overlooking the senate chamber at
Washington are doubtless the safest
barometer of the Importance of the do
ings on the floor below, says the Post.
If the gallery seats are we'll taken up
something is surely transpiring in the
chamber that is worth watching. If
they are empty the proceedings are apt
to possess no interest. The public may
be mistaken and the visitors galleries
may be overhowing, but the curiosity
seekers do not possess the delicate in
stinct of foretelling impending crises,
and if the press gallery be empty,
though expectancy be written on every
face that peers down from the crowded
balconies, no gladiatorial feats of com
peting oratory need be looked for, and
disappointment will overtake him who
disregards the signs. This was well
illustrated the other day. When Mr..
German arose to reply to Senator Sher-
man not more than two or three heads
appeared above the row of seats in the
press gallery. Once or twice Mr. Cor
mans eye wandered carelessly in that
direction and encountered a tier of
vacant seats, but he had not got far
into his subject before head after head
appeared over the row of desks, and,
as if by some subtle magic, forty or
fifty men were in their seats following
the debate with close attention and
mentally registering their comments
on the proceedings. Each man had
come from a different direction and
from every conceivable corner of the
vast block of corridors and committee
rooms. No one had told them what
was on. Itwas the indefinable instinct
of impending news Developments.

The Norso TIereafte-.

The old Morse idea of the hereafter
planned for evil doers is almost the di-
rect opposite of the orthodox hades.
The place of torment for the reprobate
sons of the north is called Nastrond,
and is situated far toward the frigid
north and is directly under Nifiheim,
the Scandinavian mythologists' purga-
tory. A description of Nastrond as
it appears in the s'Prosa Eda'' writ
ten in Iceland in the thirteenth CEN
tury) is as follows: S.In Nastrond there
is vast and direful structure with
doors that face the north. This build
ing is formed entirely of the backs and
scales of serpents, wattled together
like wicker work. But the heads of
the serpents themselves are turned
toward the inside of the hall, and they
continually vomit forth floods of venom,
in which must wade throughout
eternity all those who commit murder
or swear to lies" Another description
of Nastrond is similar to this, but adds
tnat the evil doers are occasionally
bitten b the great dragon Nidhogg.

MOVED IN THE ICE AGE.


Huge BowIders Carried All the Way from
Canada to Kentucky.
Prof. A. r. Wallace states in the
Fortnightly Review that an immense
area of the northeastern states extend
ing south to New York and then west
ward in an irregular line to Cincinnati
and st. Louis is almost wholly covered
with deposit of drift material, in
which rocks of various sizes are inn
bedded, while other rocks, often of
enormous size, lie upon the surface.
These blocks have been carefully stud
led by the American geologists, and
they present us with some very in
teresting facts. Not only are the dis
tances from which they have been
transported very great, but in very
many cases they are found at greater
elevation than the place from which
they must have come. Prof. G. f.
Wright found an enormous accumula-
ton of bowlders on sandstone pla-
teau in Monroe county, Pa. Many of
these powders were granite, and
must have come either from the
Adirondack mountains, two hundred
miles north, or from the Canadian
highlands, still further away. This
accumulation of bowlders was seventy
or eighty feet high, and it extended
many miles, descending into deep
valley one thousand feet below the
plateau in a nearly continuous line,
forming part of the southern moraine
of the great American ice sheet.
On the Kentucky hills, about twelve
miles south of Cincinnati, conglomerate
powders containing pebbles of red
jasper can be traced to a limited out
crop of the same rock in Canada to the
north of Lake Huron, more than six
hundred miles distant, and similar
powders have been found at intervals
over the whole intervening country.
In both these cases the blocks must
have passed over intervening valleys
and hills, the latter as high or nearly
as high as the source whence the rocks
were derived. Even more remarkable
are numerous powders of Heidelberg
limestone on the summit of the Blue
Ridge in Pennsylvania, which must
have been brought from lodges at least
five hundred feet lower than the places
upon which they now lie. The Blue
Ridge itself shows remarkable signs of
glacial abrasion in a well-defined
shoulder marking the southern limit
of the ice las indicated also by heaps
of drift and erratics), so that Mr..
Wright concludes that several hun
dred feet of the ridge have been worn
away by the ice. The crowning exam
pie of bowlder transportation is, how
ever, afforded by the blocks of light
gray gneiss discovered by Prof. Hitch
cock on the summit of Mount Washing
ton, over six thousand feet above sea
level, and identified with Bethlehem
gneiss, whose nearest crop is in Jeffer-
son, several miles to the northwest,
and three thousand or four thousand
feet lower than Mount Washington

The wake Woke Him to Life.

The particulars of an extraordinary
case of trance, which was mistaken for
death, are published by the Irish Times.
Last week young man, aged twenty
two, named Garrigan. living at Bali
nacree, near Oldcastle. was believed to
have died. He had been ailing for
some time, and all the appearances of
death were shown, so that no doubt of
his decease was entertained. The usual
wake preparatory to burial was begun,
and a number of neighbors had arrived
at the house to share the night watches.
Suddenly signs of animation were OBJ
served in the apparently ifeless body.
Five minutes later it was clear that
the young man had been in trance
and was on the way to recovering his
senses The occurrence created a great
sensation Many of those present fed
from the house and would not return.
All were deeply moved and the scene
for some time was one of intense ex-
citement.

Cut on from the world.

There is a little group of islands in
the Pacific ocean, halfway between
Hawaii and Samoa. One of them is
called Tanning island, and it is the
property of an American family named
Greig, who work it for guano. 1t is a
coral isiet, with fine lagoon, which
has been entered by American and
British warships. The proposed cable
across the Pacific ocean, from Austral-
asia to British North America, will, it
is expected, cross the island. The
Greigs lead an ideal life, apart from
all others of their kind, save hun
dred natives, who do their work Once
only in six months do they hear from
the world, and then little sailing YES
sci comes to them, laden with mail,
books, newspapers and provisions. 1t

THE WHEAT SITUATIoN.

Clapp & Cos. weekly market letter ei
March 10Th has the following:
Reports from exporting countries
seem to indicate they have about twenty
millions more than importing countries
require, and have furnished about two
hundred million bushels of wheat to
date since the beginning of the crop
year, which date varies from July to
Septem ber l in different countries.
The worlds visible is now about two
hundred and twenty million bushels
the foreign visible is about fifteen mil
lions more than a year ago, while ours is
about six millions less and the amount
afloat is two millions larger. About
four-ffths of the wheat ahoat is headed
for Great Britain. India has apparently
held back her supplies, having exported
only about twenty-five million bushels
against last seasons estimates for a sur
plus equaling about fifty million.
Madame Rumor says their crop pros
poets are fully six per cent better than a
year ago; evidently their reserves are
more or less in a condition similar to
OURS one or two years ago. Russia is
now given credit for an export surplus
equaling one hundred and five millions
instead of eighty or eightyfive six
months ago. Her output of the crop of
1898 of both wheat and rye as well as
that of Germany is in excess of fall es-
inmates. France has been only a mod
crate importer, partially owing to the ex.
fro 1nr rlloood &c
Their rye and wheat prospects are gem
orally reported as good. Some COM
paaints come from Hungary. Holland
and Belgium report fine prospects for
the 1894 crop. Roumania reports con-
stinue good. The Argentine crop re-
kports have surprised the world. South
America has loomed up as an exporter
of wheat in the past few years against a
record for having imported moderately
in the eighties. Great Britain is the
largest consumer. and buyer from wheat
countries, taking yearly nearly forty or
irforty-tive per cent of the surplus of ex-
/ paEring countries. AS usual, they are
reporting fair or good prospects for
growing crops at home, with ample sup
pties either in their granary, aaoat or in
the visible of nations who contribute to
reported supplies. The United States
wheat acreage may be the smallest in 20
years. Crop prospects have been re-
ported good until the recent cold wealth
er. which surprises many in the trade,
as in the spring of 1891, when prices ad
vancrd from 80 cents in March to $1.16
been long and severe on growers, specu-
lators and investors, and it is barely pos
sible eliminated when prices the world
over reached practically theslowest point
on record, March 10, 1894.

Nobody likes being managed. The
secret of management is not known to
all, but those who have learned it from
the good fairies who preside over do
mestic tranquility have attained brevet
rank among the fortunate of the world.
There is everything in taking people at
the right moment and in suggesting an
arrangement instead Of ordering an ar
bitrary change of base. Ny cousin
Cornelia,' eaid lady, "always has
her own way, without ever seeming to
want it. Jabez, her husband, constant
ly proposes things in a masterful fash
ion, which he imagines first occurred
to his own brain, the truth being that
he is merely carrying out what Cor
nelia determined upon before the good
man had so much as had a glimpse of
the situation -
A secret of successful management in

served, land I have given Phyllis

But Dorothy is the older daughter,
is she not?" was the inquiry of the per-
son addressed
"Yes, Dorothy is the older, but not
the wiser in this particular instance"
said the mother. Dorothy never con-
ciliates. She asserts and endeavors to
enforce her wishes. The result is strife
and bitterness. Phyllis is geotle and
patient. She yields in minor matters
and only makes stand where some-
thing worth struggling for is involved.

a question of dropping my cares into

stars and storms.

Much of the beauty of the stars de-
ponds upon their scintillation. The
muItitudinous flashing of thoir tiny
rays gives a wonderful life and bril-
Iiancy to winters night. The great
star Sirius excites the most admiration
when near the horizon no coruscates
with rainbow hues. But the astronomer
would be glad if he could put stop to
the scintillating of the stars. That un-
steadiness of their light is one of the
chief obstacles he has to overcome in
studying them with the telescope.
Scintillation has generally been re-
Rarded as due only to slight disturb
ances in the atmosphere. But as recent
observations have shown that red stars
scintillate less than white ones it has
been suggested that the causes of some
of theeessential differences in the scin-
tillations of different stars may be in
the stars themselves. There is no
doubt, however, that the main cause of
Bcintiliation depends upon the condition
of the air.
Most people suppose that when the
btdIs appear W loee tnSAE lNoHucsS VI
light and shine without twinkling as
minute bright points in the sky fair
weather is in prospect. Studies lately
made in France and Switzerland seem
to contradict this popular belief. 1t has
been found there that when the stars
are feeble in their scintillations foul
weather is at hand. The night before
a most violent storm in France, for in
stance, the stars hung so quietly in the
sky that they seemed to have entirely
lost their scintillating power.
This is said to be only one instance
among many which show that an un-
usual steadiness in the light of the stars
precedes the appearance of storms

LARGE Sailing ships.

The largest sailing ship afoat is the
French five master La France, launched
in 1890 on the Clyde and owned by
Messrs. Ant Dom Bordes ct Fills, who
possess large feet of sailing vessels.
In 1891 she came from Iquique to Dun
kirk in 105 days with 5000 tons of nj
trate, yet she was stopped on the Tyne
when proceeding to sea with $500 tons
of coal and compelled to take out 500
tons on the ground that she was over
laden.
There is not a single five masted sail
ing ship under the British flag. The
United States has two five masters
the Louis Of $50 tons and the Governor
Ames of /, ,778 tons-both fore and aft
schooners, a rig peculiar to the Amer
ican coast. Ships having aye masts can
be counted ON the fingers of one hand;
but, strange to say, the steamship Cop
tic of the Shaw, Savill & Albion COM
pany, on her way to New Zealand in
December, 1900, passed the Governor
Ames in IA degrees south "a degrees
west, bound for California, and two
days later in 6 degrees south 81 de-
grees west the French five master La
France, bound south.
Passengers and crew OF the Ccptic
might travel over many a weary league
of sea and never again see two such ex-
cellent object lessons in the growth OF
sailing shipsaal quick succession. The
largest three masted sailing ship is the
