Californian Likes to Fast.

Solomon Hitchcock, an old gentle
man Of Santa Rosa, Cal, has just COM
pleted a fast of thirty days. Mr. Hitch
sock = nearly 70 years old. He is ma
tive of Massachusetts, and cabinet
maker by trade. For a number of years
be has been living on the interest Of
his money, and he has taken life easy
as consequence He has no family,
Jut makes his home with his niece, Mrs
Slmonton, who. lives in the northern
cart of the town. Early in November
he received message from the Lord,
he says, commanding him to abstain
rom food For over thirty days he did
rot touch food of any kind. When he
began to fast he weighed nearly 200
pounds, and he now weighs about 155
r 100 pounds. Not once during the
thirty days did he complain of being
hungry, and not once, he says, did he
feel the pangs of hunger. He did not
sit in the house and save himself exer-
ton, but kept on in his regular habits.
Every day he walked to town, over "a
mile and half. He helped around the
house and chopped much of the wood
the family used during that time.
Nothing pleased him better than to
come to town and talk with the boys"
about his experience and try to i'm
press upon them the urgency of leading
2 Christian life. When his thirty days
fast was ended he came to town and
enjoyed a good meal at a restaurant,
but did not eat any more than any of |
the other guests. 1t does not appear
hat his long fast has weakened. him
'ny in strength, and he says he feels
Just as we'll as he ever did in his life.

A press report from Washington says
that Mr.. Northway of Ohio has intro
duced in the House bill directing the
Secretary ef Agriculture to establish
six silk, fax and ramie experimental
stations, to be located, one in the mid
die states, one in the northwestern
states, one at Washington, one in the
north Pacific coast states, one in the
south gulf states and one on the Pacific
coast. The bill provides that the work
at the stations shall be carried on by
appointees of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture. For some time experiments in
growing ramie have been going on in
the public grounds of Washington, and
mas been shown conclusively that
ramie can be grown successfully in this
latitude. three crops of excellent quality
having been grown the past summer
at the botanical gardens, and the prod
uct is now on exhibition in Washington.

Therefore, with the possibility be-
