The declaration by Bryan that the
pending presidential campaign Is con.
test of principles and not individuals,
was fairly illustrated by the recent
polling of Bryan's precinct in Lincoln,
which resulted in his receiving II votes
to McKinley's 20l. Bryan is personally
popular in Lincoln, where he iesides
but his free silver theory will be turned
down in that city in November by 9

CAFFIR CORN IN OREGON.
Samples from Ranch on Sauvie'
Island.

Samples from a Ranch on Sauvie's
Island.
A gentleman of Portland yesterday
brought up from Sauvie's island two
stalks of Kaffir corn, of which there
has been so much said in the Eastern
papers. This corn was grown at the
ranch belonging to Messrs. Spencer and
Thomas Jewett, brothers, who are we'll
known Oregon pioneers, and took up
their claim in the sos, and obtained
patents to the land under the donation
law. The Jewett brothers planted about
two acres of the Kafir corn last spring.
A part of the corn was sOWn broadcast
and grew equally well with that which
was planted in hills. Some of this corn
was covered by last Junes food. but
the water did not affect it's growth.
Stalks have grown to the height OF more
than ten feet A small part of the corn
has already ripened, and, if the present
warm weather continues for about two
weeks, most of it will mature.
The stalks resemble sorghum, having
the broad leaves of sorghum or Indian
corn. The Joints are much shorter than
either sorghum or maize. The corn grows
on a tassel at the top of the plant, the
grains being exposed. 1t has tendency
to send out side-shoots, which in turn
have tassels on them. The plant grows
to the height of several feet before show
ing any tassels, it being hidden by the
leaves of the plant. The plant opens
and the tassel grows out of it's case.
There are two kinds of corn. the white
and the red, these samples being OF the
white variety. The corn, when ripe, is
round and very hard, and is about the
size of No. 1 shot or the smallest BUCK
shot. The exact purpose for which this
corn will be used in this country is not
determined In California it is used
largely as feed for chickens and ducks.
1t is said to be better popcorn than the
genuine American popcorn.
Altogether, the plants are quite inter
esting, and it is to be hoped that the
exposition will be able to get few
plants to put on exhibition, as they
would excite almost universal interest:
A man who can make two blades of
grass grow where one grew before is not
to be compared with one who can intro
duce an entirely new cereal. Besides,
the possibility of giving the country a
new food, there is a further possibility
Of an entirely new kind of whisky

A STRANGE FEAST.
Its Religious Observers Paint One An

Its Religious Observers Paint One An
other Over with Red Powder.
A curious feast is observed by the Mo
hammedan inha bitants of India, in which
the origin of the custom known as paint
ing the town red may possibly be traced.
1t is called the Holi, and consists chief
ly in the plentiful sprinkling upon all and
sundry of a certain red preparation called
Holi powder. 1t stains the white clothes
of the natives with an ugly dirty-looking
red that conjures up before timid eyes
dread visions Of bloody fights and ghast-
ly mutinies.
The powder is made in two shades-the
one vermilion, the other rose-red-and
both are used impartially by the observ-
ers of the ceremony, who delight in be-
daubing their faces with the powders I'M
til they look like strange and hideous
denizens of Hades come up, still glowing
with the fires of that region. Amongst
the better classes this festival is falling
into disfavor, for it leads to MANY I'M
pleasant excuses, and had it's origin in
some decidedly dissipated scene in an
cient heather history.

The Value of Advertising.

n. w. Aver & Son, the well-known
newspaper advertising agents of Phila-
delphia, have issued a circular containing
the following:
"The first steamship to cross the ocean
was the Anerican-built Savannah, which
sailed from Savannah, Ga, May Y,
in twenty-eight days. A peculiar fea-
ture of this craft was her occasional use
of steam. When the weather was fair
the power was used, but in storms the
paddlewheels were unshipped and housed
on deck-out of the wet. After a few
voyages her machinery was taken out,
and for the rest of her life she did with
out the incidental help of steam. This
early misconception of the power and
utility of steam seems very peculiar in
these days of ocean greyhounds and their
regular voyages, but parallel to it may
be found today in some mems apprecia-

Males SILK Waistcoat.

The Prince of Wales has revived an
old fashion in silks, that of the grand
fatherly days when gentlemen used to
make themselves exceedingly magnificent
in silk waistcoats of fowery pattern and
brilliant hue. The Princes waistcoats
are Of black silk, with a modest decora-
ton of colored Towering. One Of the
prettiest patterns is a black satin with a
waved and watered figuring and small
design in berries and dark heliotrope.
For evening dress he has selected rich
white gros grain, with a white rosebud
device in satin. There Will, therefore,
be no outbreak Of wild and furious color
ing in the new waistcoats, though they
will give a new touch Of richness to
mems attire. The stocks of the fashion
able London tailors in anticipation of a
rush to follow the Princes lead, are en-
tirely of quiet and subdued designs.

sardine Fishing and Packing Forms One
of the Leading Industries.

of the Leading Industries.
But the sardine-opolis of Brittany IS
Concerneau, which lies ten miles south
Of Bosporden Junction, on the Orleans
line from Landerneau to Quimper.
1t is one of the most interesting places
in the country. The old walled town is
completely surrounded by water at high
tide. and communicates by a bridge with
the newer town, built round the harbor.
This harbor, when the Ioats arc IN, is
very beautiful sight. The sar Line nets
are all hanging from the masts to dry in
the sun; they are so fine in texture that
they look like silken gauze. Some OF
them are brown, other a delicate blue
gray, and as they wave in the wind they
give exquisite masses and blendlngs OF
color.
Sardine fishing and all the processes of
preparing and packing the dainty little
fish form a big industry, which employs
many thousands of men and women. 1t
is fine sight to see the fleet of bats go
out or come in when the tide is up, but
when the tide is down there are certain
drawbacks to Concarneau.
French harbors at low tide possess pc
culiar powers I'D the way of smells. In
deed they are absolutely unrivalled in this
respect. A harbor smell is large and
powerful; single-handed it could put to
flight all the smell army of Cologne. 1t
is something, you can almost see, and you
can certainly feel it. When you run up
against it accidentally round corner,
you feel sad. and go away and buy
French caporal cigarettes to try and kill
it. It's a sort of smell that you can
hear trying to climb up the wall under
your bedroom window at night, and you
get out of bed hastily and try to push
it off with stick, and you shut your
window and use swear words. But we
must console ourselves with the reflection
that sanitary science and picturesque

not go much Observation-Disclosures Ga
