A STRANGE FARM.

It It Located 700 Fee* Belowthe Level of Idaho's Plains. On Snake River in Southern Idaho, twenty mites south of the little town of Shoshone and near the Great Shoshone falls, is located the strangest farm in the world. It is nothing but a hole in the ground, 700 feet below the surface, and embraces over GOO acres. But this “hole in the ground’’ has been transformed into a veritable paradise. For ages and ages this “Devil's corral,” as it was known by prospectors, had been standing silent ar» unknown. No one had the temerity to clamber down the steep cliffs that surround it until a few years ago when a venturesome spirit, thinking that gold might be found in the depths of the rock-walled basin, made the descent. He located a mine and began to work it, but his progress is mot worth recording. Burt Perrine, a young man from Indiana, seeking his fortune In the West, went to see the Great Shoshone falls and also took a view of this satanlc corral. The place Impressed him so favorably as a location for a ranch, truck farm or fruit farm that he bought the miner’s claim to the basin and became owner of it.

Perrine made a survey of the place and found that there were 420 acres that could be worked. In spite of the Jeers of his friends he began the task of transforming it into a productive area. This was no easy job. By a great deal of hard work he managed to blaze out along the rocky descent, a trail down which pack animals could travel. To do the work necessary down in the corral Perrine had to have wagons, scrapers, harrows, plows, powder and dynamite and these had to be lowered with ropes over a perpendicular lava wall about 700 feet In height. There were also other things that pack animals couldn’t carry and these had to be let down in the same manner. But the most difficult task of all was the building of a road up the 700 feet of miscellaneous precipice. The drover had some idea of surveying and with the assistance of - a great deal of dynamite and powder succeeded in constructing a winding roadway, that goes in and out, back and forth, between lofty cliffs in its descent. After infinite labor the bottom land was cleared and the soil has proved to be very productive. Among other things growing on the farm are 5,000 fruit trees. ' There are two beautiful lakes near by and these have been piped for Irrigating purposes. In winter the weather is much warmer than on the plains above.

Dogs Trained in War.

In all the European armies save that of Britain canine intelligence is employed in the role of spies, messongers and aids to the wounded. The Italian sentries in the Alps are always accompanied by dogs! the Dutch found them in Acheen invaluable in preventing the butchery of sentinels by stealthy foes; the Russians employed them to some extent in their last war with Turkey; the French have used them in Tunis and Algiers, and the Austrians utilize them in the detection of ambuscades. The dogs employed by the Russians ace wolf and sheep dogs, and a species of St. Bernard, and equipped with packages and bandages around their noftks and flasks of soups or brandy, are taught to find the hidden wounded, offer them restoratives, give the alarm, and afterward, if necessary, to draw them on little hand carts to the hospital. The Germans use pointers, Scotch collies, Pomeranians and shorthaired sporting dogs, which are trained to march silently, indicating strangers by a point or a low growl, to carry messages some miles, to obey men in the German uniform and to halt all others.

Death and Electricity.

A writer in an electrical magazine, in discussing the probabilities of death by an electric current, said that he at one time stood at the top of one of the Alpine peaks in a storm a-nd had lightning pass through his body to an extent sufficient to make a loud, crackling noise and to produce long blue streams of sparks from the fingers, without any effect upon the body other titan to force him to descend without delay.

POLITICS OF THE DAY

READY FOR THE BATTLE.

The Democratic managers intend to Inaugurate the Congressional campaign at an early day, says Senator Jones, national commander of the allied forces of Democracy. While the Republicans are quarreling and fighting among themselves over Cuba, the money question and civil service reform. the Democrats are ready to make a determined effort to capture the Hext House. The reports received from all parts of the country are of the most encouraging character.

According to these reports, the Democrats are practically certain to gain eight seats in Illinois, seven in Indiana, five in lowa, four in Kentucky, five in Maryland, seven in Michigan, four in Minnesota, twelve in New York, six in Ohio, five in Pennsylvania and two in West Virginia. This makes a total gain of sixtythree and it is not expected that the Republicans will gain more than four seats, making the next Democratic gain sixty. According to these figures, the next House would stand: Republicans, 171; opposition, 186. It is not doubted that the Populists ?ind the silver Republicans will act with the Democrats in the next Congress. In organizing the House the Democrats would be allowed to name the three principal officers and the chairmen of all the important committees, while one of the House officers and a number of the less important chairmanships would be given to the Populists and Silver Republicans.

“So far as the State of Kentucky is concerned,”, says Representative David Highbaugh Smith, of Hodgensville, Larue County, “the Republicans have had their day in court down there and have shown themselves to be unworthy of public confidence. The administration of Governor Bradley is so disastrous a failure as to amount almost to a disgrace. The men who have been sent to Washington by the Kentucky Republicans during their lease of power Have not made a favorable impression on the country. The old commonwealth is back again in the Democratic column, and there it is likely to stay. At the next election for members of Congress the Democrats will carry every district except the eleventh and the delegation in the next House will consists of ten Democrats and one Republican. Silver will be the battle cry all along the line. The platform will be the same in every district. It will be such that there will be no need for fusion. The candidacies in various districts will be distributed among the Democrats, Populists and Silver Republicans, according to the vote polled in 1896.

Gold Standard Blindness. Like ail other champions of the gold standard the Chicago Times-Herald assumes that if a farmer only succeeds in paying his debts, it is proof positive of his prosperity, and further, that he ought to be supremely happy. It overlooks the circumstance that men may and do pay debts under great disadvantages. A man may have a mortgage on his farm. Grasshoppers may come and destroy a crop; drouth may come and ruin another; his barn may be overturned in a cyclone, his house be consumed by fire, sickness and death may invade his family circle. Still, by almost superhuman effort, and by denying himself and his loved ones many things which they need, he may at last pay the mortgage. But would this prove that the grasshoppers, the drouth, the cyclone, the fire and the sickness and death were blessings and helped him to do it? According to the Times-Herald’s philosophy, yes. The mortgagee mightsurreptitiously change a SI,OOO mortgage into one of $2,000. The farmer might succeed in paying it, but would that make the act of changing the figures any less a crime, or a disadvantage to the man who is compelled to pay $2,000 when he only agreed to pay $1,000? No matter what robbery and extortion are practiced upon the debtor, it is all right so long as he succeeds in paying. That is the infallible gold standard proof.

National and Individual Footpads. When a man with a gun robs a defenseless man on the street he is called a footpad, and we send him to the penitentiary. If we can catch him. When a man with many,guns robs a defenseless country of its property and civil rights we call that diplomacy, sometimes; statesmanship sometimes, and sometimes war. The moral element is about the same in both cases, or a little in favor of the footpad, who takes his chances, while his august exemplar takes none—Louisville Times.

One Way to Wipe Out Deficit. We observe that quite a number of moral Republican editors are pointing with pride to the gratifying increase in the Internal revenue receipts. If an impetus can be given to the general drunkenness of the country the grand old Republican party will be rescued from the hole in the treasury and the ship of state will avoid the rocks. Will Not Down. With a yawning chasm between receipts and expenditures, with protection in abundance and revenue a negative quantity the Republicans say they want the tariff let alone for ten years. No doubt, but the people who pay these taxes do not propose to let it alone. “Maw, make Bill keep quiet; every time'l hit him with the hammer he hollers.” As the Republicans Reason. Wonderful is the logic of Republicanism. According to this system the Wilson bill brought about a deficit of $70,000,000 fourteen months before it was passed, and now it has brought about a deficit of $46,000,000 five months after it has been repealed. Political Pointers. We now have government by banks. Secretary Gage wants prosperity for the bankers only. Is there a Democratic club in your vicinity? If not, why not? The work

of organization Is going on everywhere. If every Democrat puts his shoulder to the wheel 1898 will be a great year for the people. Do you belong to a silver club? If not, why not? The battle of your prosperity can ne’er be won without your aid. In the Congressional campaigns every Democratic candidate for Congress must stand on a platform that Indorses the Chicago platform in every particular, as well as the financial issue. Do not allow a goldbug into any Democratic club with which you are connected. Point to the fact that a man cannot be a Democrat and an advocate of the British gold standard at one and the same time. Are there any gold bugs in your vicinity? Find out who they are and all about them. As such they have no business to meddle In Democratic politics. They belong in the Republican party. If you see an article in this paper that contains any points that would in your opinion remove doubt from the mind of a Republican neighbor please send him a marked copy. The great majority of Republicans are honest and only need to read the truth honestly told. It is the duty of every Democrat to make a personal neighbor-to-neigh-bor campaign in behalf of the Democratic platform. Work among Republicans who are disappointed at the action of the administration in slumping to the gold standard. Honest Republicans will be glad to listen to you. Says State Senator Burley (Rep.) of West Virginia: “The Republicans of our State are almost equally divided on the silver issue. We cannot go before the people with a gold basis platform, and at the same time hope for success at the polls.” Mr. Burley is not only a Republican, but is also an advocate of the gold standard.”

THE SOLDIER ABROAD.

The Private Is Seldom Seen in the Main Streets of German Cities. The private soldier is seldom seen in any of the leading thoroughfares of the streets of the large German cities, observed a recently returned military gentleman, to a reporter, not, however, because he would not like to be seen there, but because it is quite a job for him should he show up In a crowded street. In Europe it is different from this country, for military officers have to wear their uniforms constantly. Indeed, many of them have no other clothing. In this country it is extremely rare to see an officer In uniform, and never unless he is going or returning from some function where the uniform is necessary, and which, ns I say. Is very, very rare. There are in all of the large cities and towns of Germany hundreds and hundreds of officers. It is an imperative duty of the soldier to formally salute every time one passes, even If the same officer passes him five or ten times in an hour. The private soldier generally takes a side street, so as to avoid meeting officers, for saluting every five minutes in a day, and sometimes oftener, which would be the case should he travel in the principal streets, gets to be tiresome after it is observed for three or four hours. The soldier is nearly always loyal, and takes a pride In saluting his superior officers, but there is often too much of a good thing in military life, as there is in other walks of life. Even in the side streets he has considerable saluting to do, but nothing in comparison with what he would have to do should he venture on the largely traveled streets. The officers are very particular In insisting on salutes, and should a soldier attempt to pass them without doing military honors, on the excuse that he did not see the officer, the result would be somewhat serious to him.

To Awakcn Slcepyheads.

For the benefit of the sluggard who finds it impossible to awake betimes, some Ingenious contrivances have been produced by inventors. There Is a kind of bedstead, for example, which holds its mattress in a frame that is retained in the normal position by a catch. At the proper hour the catch, operated by a clockwork mechanism, loses Its grip and the mattress frame becomes vertical instead of horizontal, throwing sleepyhead out upon the floor. Another bed lets the head of the sleepy person drop when getting-up time arrives, one end of the mattress frame collapsing. But one of the queerest of the patented methods of waking people up involves the employment of a tin pan and a weight hung by a cord. When the hands of a clock reach t. certain point, the weight is released and falls upon the pan, making a direful racket. Another oddity is a frame from which are suspended a number of corks. During the night it is lowered gradually by a clockwork mechanism until at the proper hour and minute the dangling corks begin to bob against the nose and face of the sleeper. Of course he promptly wakes up.

Drinking Oysters.

It may sound odd to speak of “drinking” oysters. One would assume their opportunity to quench their thirst was fairly good, but oysters must be “drinked,” “drank’ ’or “watered”—os oystermen say—before they are fit for market. The “drinking” process is simply a matter of fattening, or, to be more truthful, Inflating. When oysters are “raised” (taken from the beds to the air) they are dumped aboard of the sloops, and when a load is obtained the Sloop sails for some fresh water stream. At the mouth of these streams are floats Into which the oysters are dumped at full tide. As the tide ebbs, and the fresh water from the stream gradually freshens the water in the floats, the oyster opens. He appears to be drinking, but instead is simply allowing the fresh water to wash out the salt. When this is completed the oyster closes. The fresh water causes it to swell, sometimes till the shell gapes open. Thus the oyster becomes plump, and when opened looks fat and fit.

OHIO SOLONS MEET.

LEGISLATURE CONVENES IN REGULAR SESSION. Fornker-Buehnell Men Organise Both Houses Mason Elected Speaker Amid Scenes of Wild ExcitementMuch Interest in Senatorial Contest. Buckeye Lawmakers. The Ohio Legislature convened at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Owing to the senatorial contest unusual interest was taken in the organization of both houses. In the hall of the House the wildest scenes were witnessed during the first hour of the session. All of the 100 members were in their seats. After the name of Boxwell had been presented as the regular Republican candidate for speaker, the natujp of Representative Mason, Republican, was presented by Representative Jones, Republican, and seconded by two other Republicans. The Democrats did not participate in the speaking. As the ballot proceeded there were loud cheers as the doubtful members responded to their names, and when the roll call approached the close and Mason secured >'ie necessary majority then? was a long demonstration that delayed the official announcement of the vote. The first ballot resulted: Mason, 5(1; Boxwell, 52. The combine then completed the organization of the House. There was also much excitement over the election of a speaker pro tern. Speaker Mason had been all along openly opi>osed to the re-election of Senator Hanna, but John P. Griffith of Union County had been claimed by both aides. The Hanna men say they counted on him till he was nominated Saturday night by the combine for speaker pro tern. When Representative Griffith cast his vote for Mason for speaker there was a wild scene and the excitement continued till Griffith was elected speaker pro tern, by the same vote as that for speaker. The morning sessions of the Senate and the House caused no surprise nt the Hanna headquarters or the opposition headquarters. The demonstrations of rejoicing at the latter place were beyond description.

BORN AMID GREAT FEAR.

Autonomy in Cuba Begins Under a Threatening Cloud. Autonomy wns formally implanted in Cuba Saturday morning by the administration of the oath of fidelity to Spain and the new constitution to the membors of the colonial cabinet. Only four members were present, Senor Dolz, minister of public works, being in Spain, and Senor Govin, minister of the interior, not having arrived from the United States. The new regime was ushered in under threatening auspices. It is believed that an outbreak against autonomy was only averted by extraordinary military precautions. The Government had been in possession for several days of information that trouble might be expected on New Year’s eve, the signal for an outbreak being the ringing of bells nt midnight. ITecautionary measures were taken with great secrecy, but enough became known to convince the intrnnsigentes and the turbulent element of the utter futility of the success of a demonstratv.m. Much bitter feeling was manifested over the action of the Government. The intrunsigeutes declare that the end is near when the wer».»ons of the Spanish soldiers are turned against the only loyal Spaniards in Cuba, and ask if autonomy is to be thrust down their diroats with the bayonet. Marshal Blanco, the captain general, escorted by a number of high Spanish offi-, ciuls, the consular corps, army and navy officers, politicians, etc., reached the throne room nt 0 o'clock a. m. A new Bible was open on a table, and upon it the secretaries took the oath of fidelity to the queen, the monarchy and the Spanish Government, placing their right bunds on the Bible and kneeling as they repeated the words required. Senor Galvez, president of the cabinet, was first sworn in, and then the oath was administered to the others. After the conclusion of this ceremony all present attended the celebration of mass by the bishop in the chapel of the palace. All present knelt down at the elevation of the host, except the British and German consuls. At the conclusion of the ceremonies the captain general remitted the death penalty imposed upon persons who had been convicted of common crimes. Cable messages of congratulation were exchanged during the day between Senor Sugasta, premier of Spain, and Marshal Blanco.

NEW MENACE FOR ENGLAND.

British Posic.iionn in Africa Threatened by Rival Nations. The Cairo correspondent of the London Daily Mail says, uh part explanation of the British advance np the Nile, that it is believed French expeditions have arrived quite close to Khartoum. According to the same authority, the British force will be commanded by Maj. Gen. Sir Francis Grenfelt. The Rome correspondent of the Daily Mail says: “I learn from private sources that the Italian foreign office has received information that Emperor Menelek has summoned the Abyssinian* to arms in support of the French enterprises in equatorial Africa, and especially the plans of the Russian, Count Dcontieff, jativernor of the equatorial provinces of Abyssinia. “Menelek himself is setting out at the head of an army, and it is believed the movement marks an expedition ■ against the Anglophile Ras Mangascia, whose province, Tigre, the negus wishes to annex. I also hear that Menelek, Calculating upon the remissness of the Italian Government, purposes an advance toward the coast.” A dispatch from Cairo, via Paris, on Friday announced that a French expedition had occupied Fashodn, on the Nile, about 400 miles south of Kbartonm, and that it wan reported among the natives that the French were descending the river.

Telegraphic

There is an effort in New Jersey to unite the two branches of the Hibernians. William Schoenlank, the consul general of the Central American republic*, is dead nt Berlin. Engineer Patterson was killed in a collision on the Southern Pacific Railroad near Benson, Ariz. Chris Merry and James Smith, alleged murderers of the former’s wife, are in jail in Chicago. Both deny knowledge of the crime. At the inquest in London over the remains of William Terriss, the actor, the coroner’s jury -returned a verdict of willful murder. An Indiana man wants to sell to the Government an “air ship which is an ideal contrivance for use in war.” That’s the trouble with all air ships; they are purely ideal. The next meeting of the American Federation of Labor will be held in Kansas City, which won with 1,30 C% votes to etroit’s 80<>%. The convention called for immediate organization of the custom tailors in Detroit and elsewhere.

Mental Growth of Children.

Very often we read of cases where parents are deceived In the character of their children. The truth is, they grow up much faster than parents are aware. While a mother Innocently believes her little girl’s mind Is entirely occupied with her dolls and her pets, in reality the child is weaving romances In which some callow youth Is the central figure, and herself the heroine. She may fancy her boy Is entirely engrossed with his marbles and his balls, but the lad himself has already determined his future career of renown in the pirate’s or highwayman’s fascinating profession. It is a terrible revelation when a surreptitious flirtation with the telegraph messenger, or a midnight escapade, shows too plainly where the heart of the child is placed. We know a case in which a boy of 15 was charged with a crime, and finally confessed himself guilty. The surprise and agony of his mother were heartrending. “It cannot be,” was her cry, “he is a little boy. Why, he is my baby. Every night he puts his arms around my neck and kisses me. It is not possible.”

Had the boy actually been a babe in the cradle the mother would have been no more astonished. It Is a fiction pleasing to the parents’ hearts that their children are but children, too young to know or dream of any evil more heinous than childish peccadilloes. But it is a fiction fraught with grave perils. Every mother ought to know if her boy smokes. Yet we can point to a half-dozen boys who puff along the streets, whose mothers firmly believe them to be angels of light and would be Indignantly Incredulous if told the facts.

Red-Hot Journalism.

There is a good deal of "ginger” in Newfoundland journalism. The St. John’s Telegram recently referred to the editor of the St. John's Herald as "a palsied brat” and “a nervous paralytic,” whereupon the latter printed the following Indictment of his hated rival: That he Is soaked with rum. That he Is always drunk when a crisis arrives. That he washes himself only twice a year. That he is always placed In the ship’s hold when traveling. That the hotels decline to receive him as a guest. That his mere presence In a city is standing proof that the public health is not properly attended to.
