Barley is stronger in sympathy with
wheat; both feed and brewing are higher;

Transplanting a Mountain.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

FROM the Sail FFdIlClsCO OHFOHlClC.
A great section of the mountain at San
Diego overhanging Morena dam on one
side was torn off the other afternoon by
10, 900 pounds of power, lifted several feet
straight up and then pushed bodily for
ward forty or fifty feet, trembling over
the mighty gorge below the dam, and then
falling with an awful roar 125 feet, to re-
main hereafter for all time as the bulwark
of the great dam being built to impound
water for the city.
The dam is forty three miles east of the
city. For two months or more prepara-
tions had been made for the monster blast,
in common with another blast that is nearly
ready. The plan was to cut tunnels into
the side of the mountain at various points
above the bed of the creek and to place in
these tunnels, first, great stores of black
powder, which ignites slower than giant
powder, and, therefore, has more pushing
power and less shattering effect. On the
surface and in places through the noun
tain side were placed big deposits Of giant
powder for the purpose of shattering the
mass and lifting it up According to plans
the black powder when it exploded would
hurl the mass straightforward, making
bridge of granite across the gorge and block
ing the stream.
The plans were carried out with the
greatest care. Danger was constantly
feared from the great mines of powder, but
all went well and the blast was finally ready.
A lot of insulated electric wires, connect
ing with each deposit of powder and at
tached to exploders, were gathered into
one circuit in tunnel across the gorge and
above the blast, where the foreman, John
Duggan, stationed himself to press the but
ton. At2.45 o clock the signal was passed
along that all was ready The workmen
had posted themselves at safe distance
and eagerly watched to see the stupendous
break in the hillside Foreman Duggan
closed the switch, and wonderful scene
instantly followed. The side of the oppo-
site hill, composed of great boulders and
masses of granite in dikes, quivered, rose
from its bed of centuries and shot out thou
sands of little squirming tongues of dust
that gave the whole hill peculiar fuzzy
appearance. This was for fraction of
second, A growl, like the angry diapason
of the ocean, sounded deep down in the
hill, and before the spectators recovered
their equilibrium after the artificial earth
quake the mass was falling
An incessant rattle of rock filed the air,
like regiment of musketry. Dust arose
in pillows and hung over the wrecked hill
for an hour. The falling of rock contin
ued for almost as long When the dust
cleared away it was found that the blast
had dislodged mass of rock four hundred
feet up and down stream and an average
of sixty feet in height, completely bridging
the canyon. The engineers estimated that
the amount dislodged weighed about $780,
900 tons. The rock was thrown exactly
as the engineers had planned.

Catching Heat.

Some doctors hold that there is more
danger from going from the cold outside
and into hot room than from the hot air
in6o the cold. 1t is declared that it is ad
visable to get well heated before going out
into the cold 1t is further declared that
it would be more correct in most cases to
speak of catching heat than of ''catch
ing cold =
DR.. VIM. H. Pearse, writing in the
Scalpel for September, says that he ven
lures to differ from the popular belief that
there is special danger in going from hot
room into the open air, holding, on the con-
trary, that the heat of the room or house
is a great preservative from chill or "catch-
ing cold on going out into the open air.
In Russia, in Central Europe, Canada
and the Northern United States, houses
are made very warm with dry heat in
the winter, yet men, women and children
go out into temperature below zero. The
stimulation and heightened condition OF
the circulation and nerves, and ultimate
molecules of protoplasm give great power
of resistance to the outer intense cold, pre-
venting ''chilr in the first exposure until
exercise with Its infinite motions, as it were,
takes up and maintains the conditions of
resistance.
DIR. Pearse says that he has walked at
midnight from a highly heated mansion
across Boston Common, in his dress coat
only, on a calm starry night. the tempera-
ture about zero. He suffered NJ inconveni-
ence and felt sure that the stimulus Of the
heat of the house gave him power of re-
sistance to the cold.
The Medical Record declares that DIR.
Pearse is undoubtedly correct in his OBJ
servation, that one can come from hot
room into the cold outer air and run but
little chance of catching cold. The danger
is rather in entering hot room from with
out, especially an unventilated hot roop,.

Ono On the Bishop.

Bishop Paret, of Maryland, relates an
incident which shows how piety and cook
ing may be mingled.
Some time ago he was the guest of an
Episcopal family in West Virginia. Learn
ing from the Bishop that he liked hard
boiled eggs for breakfast, his hostess went
to the kitchen to boil them herself.
While 50 engaged she began to sing the
first stanza of hymn. Then the second
stanza, the Bishop, who was in the dining
room, joining in.
When it was finished there was silence,
and the Bishop remarked. "Why not
sing the third verse; 1.-THE third verse;
replied the lady, as she came into the din
ing room carrying the steaming eggs:
ss0h, that S not necessary.
II don't understand replied Bishop
Paret. soh, you see, she said, 'when
| am cooking eggs / always sing one verse
for soft-boiled and two for hard-boiled. :

One View Of a Farmers Life.
From the Boston Eagle.

The farmer has some things that the
average worker in other departments lacks.
He never has to worry about his rent
He has at least house above his head.
1t may not be fine one, but it is his own,
and he cannot be put out on the street at
the whim of any landlord. Even if behind
in his mortgage payments foreclosure is
seldom attempted, so long as he appears to
be honest and industrious 1t is not so
with the laborer and the mechanic, to
whom months lack of work means dis
aster. Again, the farmer has no fear that
he will not have enough to eat. He raises
enough right about his doors-the best OF
vegetables, grains and fruits; he has, too,
his poultry, eggs, milk, butter, cheese and
how many city workers can be so sure of
their dinners? In most districts he has
less occasion than the city man to worry
about his fuel, for there is plenty of wood
on the hills. He does net handle money
in any large amount, but he always has
something as good in the products of his
dairy, hennery or garden that he can ex-
change at the village store for such dry
goods, groceries, school books and other
extras as he needs. He is hard worker,
it is true. but his work is the healthiest in
the world. There is no confinement in hot,
stuffy offices, or dust filled shops and fac
tories, the sun and the rain fall upon him,
the fresh air fills his lungs, the primitive
man stirs in him when he turns up the rich
mould and sees the green things springing
that he has planted. Viewing his employ
ment in the right spirit, he should be proud
of the necessary good that he does, and
sure that many thousands are in worse case
than he. If he lives up to his income, so
does nearly everybody.

COME UNTO ME.
Hamilton Jay in The Florida Times union.

AANmNtOH JtH III Utc FtUTkIu IIhneS-Lii
Oft when the tide of life runs low,
And brain and soul are sick with doubt,
And life seems full of grief and woe,
And mocking devils jeer and hout,
turn unto my Lord in prayer,
know His strength than mine is best,
And 10! A sweet voice thrills the air.
Come unto Me, ye weary laden,
And will give you rest"
Sometimes the night is very dark,
The way is rough and wounds my feet,
And life lies stretched out wan and stark,
The winds blow fierce and falls the sleet.
l fear, and fearing ain would fall
Beneath the shadows dire distress,
But that hear my Saviour call
Come unite Me, ye weary laden,
AndI will give you rest
And often when the waters roll
And surge and foam around me here.
And threaten to engulf my soul,
Roaring and rolling swift and near,
Ny strongest efforts seem in vain.
How can 'scape so hard oppressed?
And then hear that voice again
: Come unto Me, ye weary laden,
And will give you rest
Some days my burden bears ME down,
/ cannot see the far-off skies,
The grim, gray cross obscures the crown,
And in my heart hope faints and dies,
But leaps to life when, sweet and low.
With love and mercy full expressed.
These words across the silence 60
"Come unto Me, ye weary laden,
And will give you rest"
Yea, Lord, come to Thee in all
The evils that affiict my day,
And at Thy feet repentant fall
For doubts that daunt and fears that slay.
Give unto me, o give me more,
The strength to bear, the longing best.
Extend Thy shield my face before,
For indeed am weary laden.
And come to Thee for rest!
