her tone and manner.
Perhaps the most remaI kable circumstance
connected with this venerable woman who
is perhaps the Oldest resident Of Portland,
is the fact that her interest in things OF to-
day is apparently stronger than her recol-
lection of past events. That she has a
happy home was plain, and that she is do
ing her best, and with marked degree of
success TO contribute her part to the sum

ballad reciter, Iona Andrejevna Fedas-

70 years old. She recites from memory
several thousand songs and Russian folk

her face is full of wrinkles as slowly she
winds her way down the stage of the
concert hall. But once she has taken
her seat, folded her hands together and
commenced to recite, her whole appear

OBITU AIRY.

Mary Elizabeth Marks was born
April 81, 1910. She was catecized
and confirmed in the German I,uth-
eran Church at the age of ID. Au-
gust, 1860, she was married to Mr.
Hensel, and soon after Joined the
English Lutheran Church on SCOTS
Creek. To them were born 7 child
rem, one died in infancy. About
eight years ago she Joined the Unit
ed Brethren Church in order to
have a church home for herself and
her children, as the church of her
choice had ceased to operate in the
neighborhood, She was u faithful
member to the last. She died sud-
denly Thursday morning at 2:45.
In her sudden departure she leaves
husband, 6 children, 2 step-child-
rem, 4 grandchildren, 8 brothers
and sister, and large circle of
friends to mourn and to follow on
to the home above. As christian
she was consistant, as a mother she
was kind, indulgent, and wonder
fully anxious for the success Of her
children. AS u neighbor she was
always good and kind. She fell to
sleep at the age Of 81 years, 0
months and 27 days. Though COM
ing suddenly the Messenger did
not surprise her.

MAY STOP FORECLOSURES.
The Government Can Compel Union
Pacific stock TO ba Paid Tn.

A lawyer who has been identified
with the UuIon Pacific litigation,
says thnt ne Government will find
MI easy way tn stop foreclosure on
the first mortgageto the detriment
Of the Government lien. In the
first place, the application for per-
mission to foreclose Is not made In
good faith, for on the same day In.
terest on the collateral trust IS and
the Utah Northern bonds was ad-
vertised to be paid by the receivers.
If the Government so elects, It.
would be simple matter to de-
mand that Union Pacific stock be
fully paid.up under the acts of 1862
and 1864, when the Government
lien was made contingent upon full
payment Of par In installments for
the stock, except $lO,OOO,OOO issued
in recent years could be compelled
to pay par. The matter of inno-
cent holders does not count, AS the
stock can be easily traced back to
first holders, and they or their es-
tates can be. made to pay. The
statute of limitations does not ap-
ply because this ia an unexecuted
contract, an agreement made with
the Government under which the
seconds were issued, and the liza
bility is there precisely as the lia-
bility of railroad company exists
to redeem mortgage bond issued
80 or 40 years ago. In his judg-
ment the application to foreclose
on the firsts was ill-advised, if II
was for no other purpose than to
coerce the Government into a
speedy settlement.

CORN AND COTTON.
Two Staples in Which the United
States Leads the World.

States Leads the World.
Corn and cotton are the twogreat
American staples, and the two in
which the United States stand cas-
lily at the head not only of all
countries, but of all countries COM
bined. The total cotton supply of
the world, figured on the basis of
bales of 400 pounds each, is about
100000 bales, and of this amount
the United States produce about
100000 bales, or three-fourths of
the whole amount. The crop here
attained the highest figures before
the war, in 1860, when it was 4,6O0,-
600 bales of 47O pounds; 1892 was
the best year for cotton since, the
crop being 100000 bales of 47O
pounds.
The corn acreage of the United
States for 1894 is 65,O00,O0O acres,
and the total product l,200,000,0OO
bushels, of the value of about $780,
100000. The great corn year was
1889, with crop of 2,100,0OO,O 900
bushels; 1891 followed with 2,OOO,-
100000 bushels. In 1892 and 1898
the figures were about the same
1,600,000,000 bushels. Compared
with the value of the corn and cot
ton crop, the other agricultural
productions of the United States
occupy subordinate position, the
value of the wheat crop being 1926
100000; oats, $214 100000; potatoes,
9l,OOO,OOO; barley, $27,OoO,OOO; rye,
S13, 900, 900, and buckwheat, $7,OOO,-
900.
Two surprises, because of the
difference in value compared with
ordinary public expectations, are
hay and tobacco. The hay crop of
the United States amounted last
year amounted last year to $685.
000,O in value; the tobacco crop,
on the other hand, amounted to
only $27,OOO,OOO. The last year
proceeding (1s93) the tobabco crop
was 80 per cent greater, and con-
siderably more than half of it came
from two States, Kentucky and
Tennessee. Kentucky stands at
the head of the tobacco States.
Pennsylvania is at the head of those
In the North. Connecticut comes
next; New York is fourth.-NeD

Food For Ere Production.

The fundamental principles to be
borne in mind in arranging the diet Of
q hen are that the largest Ingredients In
eggs are lime, nitrogen and phosphorio
acid. We have thus found from one
chemist Of what the egg is composed,
and we learn from another that green
bones, when out up, not ground up,
are the best and cheapest eggmaking
material extant Green bones are rich
in albumen. phosphate Of lime and phos.

Manager Gilbert Of the Canadian ex-

whereby farmer may utilize waste is
to have pot set aside, into which all

morning with boiling water and mix in

Pumping Water For Irrigation.

Figures are given in the Kansas Farm
er which make it appear that it is not
only feasible, but practicable, to pump
water for irrigation. It is claimed that
this can be done at less cost, than the
average New York or New England
farmer expends annually per acre for
phosphates. It is not claimed, however,
that it is practicable to irrigate from
wells upon the uplands-that is, where
the water lies 100 feet or more from the
surface. But where 1t is desired to raise
a small quantity Of water that is suffi-
cient to take care Of an orchard and
small garden tract, say five acres. this
can be done with vertical steam pump,
or deep we'll pump, as it is termed, at q
fair cost. But to raise large quantity
Of water, sufficient to irrigate any large
amount Of land, would require an out
lay per acre greater than the value Of
the land, and then the expense of pump
ing would be so much greater.

It must have plenty Of root. The rows
