Peculiarity of the Mocking Bird.

The most remarkable thing about a mocking bird is its way of laying out a range. In the autumn it goes South and establishes itself on a piece of ground that will yield berries and other' food enough to last until the following spring. The tract is determined respecting boundaries with as much accuracy as a mining prospector would use in staking out a claim. Perhaps it may be only fifty yards square, and it may have a length and breadth of as much as 100 yards. The space depends mainly upon the food supply in sight, but the mocking bird is a great glutton and wastes ten times the quantity that would be necessary to keep him alive. Having laid out his range, the owner will defend it with his life, and no other fruit-eating bird is allowed to enter it

Yankce “Cuteness.”

The Yankee lias always-had the reputation of being an ingenious fellow’. He has been credited with doing a great many things he never did, and he has done a good many things h.e has never been credited with. But it recently devolved upon a real Vermont Yankee to buy a second-hand hearse and turn it Into a peddler’s cart. He fixed it over a little, boarded up the sides, and “daubed” a little red paint in several places to take off the funereal air. He also took, off the plumes, and built a canopy over the driver’s seat. The District of Golumbia, not including the Government buildings and public works, has an assessed valuation of $99,401,787.

GRANT’S LOST MATCHBOX.

Made of Two and Has a History that Nobody Knows. A matchbox that money couldn’t buy Is in the possession of Policeman Gould, of San The matchbox Is not worth. Intrinsically, anymore than thousands to be found in any large jewelry store, but its owner will never part with it if he can help it. It was given liSjn by the late General U. 8. Grant. When the ex Pr fident visited the

GENERAL GRANT’S MATCHBOX.

Pacific coast in 1879 lie had for his bodyguard Officer GpuUl, who attended the distinguished visitor faithfully. One night, after a trip .over the city in a carriage, Officer Gould found on the seat of the carriage a matchbox made out of two rifle-shells. Five ordinary matches were in (lie case, which was made on the principle of a. telescope, one shell fitting over the. Other. Both shells had been exploded, as the dent of the firing pin was plainly visible. The larger shell bore the mark “F. 88. Xo. 12” on the end, while the smaller one, which acted as the cap, was unmarked. The matchbox measured two . and a half inches when closed. Gould knew that the unique matchbox must be the property of General Grant, and hastened after him to return it. The General was in his room by the time Gould reached his apartments. The orderly carried a message into the room, and in a few minutes the General appeared. Officer Gould held out the match sflfe and told the General that ho had found it in the carriage. General Grant looked at it in silence for a minute, and in his kindly maimer, said: “You may keep it. Some day you j may learn the history of the shells from which I have made this matchbox. Good-night.” The General turned on his heelaud entered his rooms without another word. Officer Gould has never learned the history of the shells, but he treasures the souvenir lust as much.

Current Condensations.

An authority au hypnotism says that hysterical persons are very difficult to influence. They are so wedded to their own fancies—mental and physical—that they prove very obstinate hypnotic patients. Even if an influence is gained it passes off very quickly. The length of either day or night can be easily and accurately reckoned by the following simple rule: Multiply the hour of the sun's rising by two, and it will give tlie length of the night; multiply the hour of setting hv two, and get the length of the day., Thus, take a day when the sun rises at 0:30 and sets at 5:30. Apply the rule, and you have a night of thirteen hours and a day of eleven. The rule will bo found absolutely accurate at any season of the year. At a funeral near Parsons, Kan., the other day a little son was buried in the neighborhood cemetery. There being no hearse, the remains were placed in a spring \vagon.“On the way to the grave a swarm of bees gathered on the lid of the coffin and there remained. When the cemetery was reached all efforts to drive the bees from the coffin were without avail, and the pallbearers were forced to take charge of the coffin with the bees swarming about them, and before the remains were deposited in the grave every pallbearer suffered, being stung in more than one place oir the face and hands. The bees dung so tenaciously to the coffin that many of them were buried with the body of the boy. On July 14, lStio, Edward Whymper, the famous mountain climber, after eight unsuccessful attempts, won the honor of first ascending the Matterhorn. He was accompanied by Lord Francis Douglas, Rev. Charles Hudson. Douglas Robert Hadow, and three guides, Michael Croz, Peter Taugwalder, and Peter Taugwalder, Jr. In descending Hadow lost his nerve and his footing, and Hudson, Croz, and Douglas, who were fastened to the same rope, were dragged with him. Whymper and the two other guides clung desperately to the rocks and withstood the shock of the tightening rope, but the safety rope broke, and Hudson, Hadow, Croz and Douglas fell 4,(XX) feet dotVn the precipice and were dashed to pieces.

CROPS IN BAD SHAPE.

Agricultural Department Report* General Decline in Condition. Report* to the Agricultural Department show a decline in the conditions of all the principal crops, except oats, rye and barley. The detailed summary shows a wide-spread reduction in the condition of potatoes, due largely to drought. Complaints of potato rot come from the Northern and more Southern New England States, New York, several of the States adjoining the great lakes and Missouri and Kansas. The Josses from leaf blight and insects appear to have been exceptionally light. The most serious complaint of the potatogrower this year is the low price of the product, particularly in the Northwest. The report from the department’s agent for Wisconsin and Minnesota represents that in. the latter State the tubers “do not pay for digging.” He says that the yield is enormous. Sweet potatoes have suffered quite seriously from lack of rain and their condition has been materially reduced in many States. ■ In seven States it has fallen from 10 to 22 points. ■The condition of tobaeeo deelined over 2 points. In Ohio, where condition is the lowest, something over half a crop is expected, and the same may be said of Maryland and Virginia. Continued drought, hot weather and high winds ol September, causing premature ripening and dropping, have resulted in a loss of over 2 points in the average condition of apples. The greatest loss occurred in the central West, where the crop was abundant. Itjs thought both the eating and keeping quality of the fruit has been much impaired, and in many sections a tendency to rot is already noted. The average condition now stands at 70. G. The general conclusion in the British cereal trade that the wheat harvest Of the world for 1895 is about 100,000,000 bushels less than that of. 1894 is announced in the report of the European agent of the Agricultural Department for October. The estimates of this season’s wheat crop in the United Kingdom vary from 23 to 27 bushels an acre. Both in Great Britain and on the continent the wheat was harvested in such favorable as to assure a high percentage of flour. Duluth reports say that there is no doubt that Northwestern -farmers nr* holding back their wheat on account of low prices prevailing and marketing their coarse grain instead. For several days past the receipts of wheat have fallen below those of last year. Receivers say that offerings are daily growing lighter, and the daily sales there support the statement. On theTSther hand, there has been a more than corresponding increase in coarse grains, though of course the daily reports of car inspection do not show as large a total for all grain receipts.

LANDING OF MARINES.

Great Britain Also Reported to Have Interfered in Korea. Information of the formidable uprising in Korea, resulting in the disappearence and probable death of the Queen, and the landing of military forces by the United States and European powers, has been received by Minister Kurino of Japan from the foreign office at Tokyo. It is quite sensational, indicating the landing of marines by Russian, the United States and. probably Great Britain. The latest dispatch to Minister Kurino states that a force of Russian marines, forty in number, has been landed. Thus far they have confined themselves to guarding the Russian legation at Seoul. United S(a|£s marines were lauded from the Yorktown to the number of sixteen. It is believed also that British marines have been landed. Besides these the Japanese have a considerable force of soldiers at Seoul who have been preserving order. The dispatches come from Tokyo and communicate the substaye of dispatches received from Gen. Muira, the Japanese envoy at Seuol. It appears from these dispatches that the trouble had its inception through the Queen’s dislike of the newly organized soldiers of Korea. The old soldiers had the primitive equipment of the far East, but with the progress of Japanese influence in Ivorea two battalions of Korean troops were organized on modern methods. Each battalion numbered (XX) men, armed with modern weapons. They werewell drilled and officered. When the Queen showed her disfavor toward these new troops they appealed to the Tai Won Kun, a powerful chief, who has long been at enmity with the Queen. He accepted the leadership of the new troops, and at the head of one battalion entered the Queen’s palace. The native soldiers fled from the palace. The Tokyo dispatches do not state specifically what became of the Queen, further than that she has disappeared and cannot be located.

SILK-MAKING IN OREGON.

New Enterprise that Bids Fair to Be Successful in the Northwest^ W. S. Ban, an intelligent and welleducated Japanese, who speaks English fluently, is the pioneer in what he believes can be made one of the leading industries of this region, to wit: silk culture. He owns a ranch of ten acres hack of Portland heights, near Mount Zion, all of which is planted with young mulberry trees, growing vigorously and rapidly. He is getting a big colony of silk worms under way, and liasalready manufactured a quantity of silk, which he proposes to exhibit at the coming fall exposition. Mr, Ban believes that he has fully demonstrated that silk culture is a success here, and is enthusiastic over —e result of his experiment. He lives at 445 Everett street, where he manufactures the raw silk on hand machines. He exhibited some of his products to a reporter yesterday, and explained how be came to undertake the experiment. “I am the first to undertake silk culture here,” said he, “I obtained a pretty thorough knowledge of the Industry In Japan, and when I came here it struck me that .this vicinity had every requisite for silk culture, except the worms and the mulberry trees. I was advised not to attempt the experiment, as It would surely result in failure. However, ! wasconfideatUiat my ad-. visers knew rather less about the matter than I, so two years ago I imported 1,000 mulberry trees from Japan and planted them at the proper distauee apart on my ten-aere ranch. I found the soil and the climate to be very suitable, and the trees took root, without the loss of one. Seeing that the trees w T ere successful, I got a lot of silk worm eggs from Japan in 1894. All were spoiled on the voyage. It is very difiicul.t to bring perfect eggs from such a distance, as any considerable variation In temperature on the voyage is ruin to them. “However, I tried again last February with better success, and, after keeping the eggs in a uniform temperature of 73 or 74 degrees from April 29 to May 7 I the pleasure of seeing about 2,000 hatch. Six days later 50,000 more hatched. The worms did finely, and at the expiration of forty-three days w r ent into tlieir cocoons! I have since hatched a second crop of eggs, which were native.to.Portland.. “I am satisfied that silk culture will one day become a great industry in this region, giving employment to many people who would otherwise be idle. It is useless for anyone to say now that It cannot be made a success here, for I have demonstrated the contrary. It will afford employment to farmers’ wives, and many other women will find it a means of gaining a comfortableJncome, as the work is so light and healthful and pleasant as to be well adapted to women and children. . ■ “This sample of raw silk, which I propose to exhibit with other skeins of my manufacture here, is as fine as any j that was ever made any where.”—Port- i land Oregonian.

Washtub Uscd as a Boat.

A Portland, Me., man recently distiu- j gitished himself by rowing a distance ; of six miles in an ordinary waahtub. It was just large enough to enable him to curl his legs up in and sit upon a j small cushion of shavings. In order to prevent capsizing it was necessary for the navigator to sit nearly rigid. When scuffing he could not look over his shoulder to see where he tvas going, for fear of tipping over, so he carried a small mirror, which enabled him to see the route ahead without turning. He also carried a small sail about a yard square. This he used a portion o* the time, but his main reliance jvas on the small oar with which lie scp|lled.

Awful Accusation.

A terrible accusation was that contained In a complaint sworn out yesterday by Jacob Gorgoschillitz against George, Steve, Frank and Jack Thida, as well as little George, of the same family, says the St. Paul Globe. Mr. Gorgoschillitz states, swears and avers that the foregoing five and several Thidas “did, on or about the 7th day of . September, 1895, speak, utter, enunciate, use and employ, with felonious and. unauthorized reference to himself, the said Jacob Gorgoschillitz, certain and divers words and expressions which would tend to promote an assault, namely, to wit, that the said five- Thidas did, one and all, describe and apostrophize the said Gorgoschillitz as bologna sausage.” The warrant was at once placed in .the hands of every detective of Chief O’Connor's force.
