NIHILISTS IN OREGON.
A Strange Settlement on the
Pacific Coast.
Refugees from Russia Who have Estab¬
lished a Republic of Their Own,
Among the foothills of the coast
range in the southern part of Oregon,
at a place called Longdale station,
stands a settlement of Russian refu
gees. Although ostensibly subject
to the laws of Jackson county, yet
this community of exiles is in reality
an imptrium in imperio. It seems to
be a sort of I’la 1 onic republic, where
property is common and where tiie
greatest freedom possible to an orgau
ized society is allowed.
In 1881 a band of twenty students
of the Odessa and Kharkof universi
ties left Russia in separate detach
ments, with New York as the meeting
place. Arriving there they looked
about for some place of settlement,and
determined on Oregon. Not having
money enough, they again separated,
and worked in different cities of the
east until a fund had been raised suf
ficient to buy the title deeds to several
thousand acres of land. When tho ,
property was purchased they at once
started for Oregon and began the for
mation of a colony, to which have
aince been added thirty or forty addi
tional nihilists. The land was divided
into farms, and each colonist allowed
a certain amount of money to pur¬
chase stock and tools.
Soon the settlement thrived until
their colony, which is called “New
Odessa," stood on a substantial basis.
Then rules and regulations were adopt¬
ed for the government of the settlers.
It was decided that each man should
work but six hours a day, the remain¬
der to be devoted to listening to lec¬
tures on nihilism and the rights of
man. One large house was selected
as the lecture ball, and there the refu
gees daily listen to the speculations of
the students on the right of revolu
tion, which they claim will uprise in
Russia as sure as the Volga Hows into
the sea.
Tho chief staple of cultivation of the
colony is grain. There are about
twenty Women in the settlement. The
colony is in the possession of a large ii
brary, open to all, which is composed
mostly of treatises on political subjects
in the Russian tongue. The library
is gradually increased by additions of
books and papers from Geneva and
Odessa.
Among the settlers is Ivan Urvan
sky, who was connected with the nihi¬
lists in Odessa, and who was arrested
in 1878. At that time there was a
man in Odessa named Kowalsky, who
pilhlifthAil tlui hnabo ntul pam^Klota of
the nihilists. One night while he was
engaged in this work tiie house was
surrounded by gendarmes. Tiie nihi¬
lists closed the doors and burned all of
the papers iwid books. When the offi¬
cers of the C/.ar broke down the doors
a fight ensiled between the two parties
nd six officers were killed. They
found evidence against Kowalsky and
his confederates in tiie portions of set
type that the nihilists had forgotten to
“pi.” Kowalsky was sent to a prison,
and on the journey the police sent
three empty carriages, with a view of
deceiving the people, as an uprising
was feared. Kowalsky was sentenced
to be executed, but Urvansky managed
to afterward escape. Another nihilist
at the Oregon settlement is Mr. Ram
anovich, who was arrested at the same
time as Kowalsky. He was sent to
Archangel. While there he played
the role of a natural foul, and was al¬
lowed his freedom, provided he would
report every morning to the authori¬
ties. lie managed to escape in tiie
garb of a peasant.
The other prominent nihilists at
New Odessa are Krimont,Fireman and
Gurvich, all students, and all connect
od with some political plot which
caused them to leave their country,
The settlement thus far has prospered
beyond all expectation, and no dissen¬
sion has occurred to mar the accom¬
plishment of its purpose. The colony
is still engaged in nihilistic projects,
and is in constant communication with
Russia. One of tiie great objects of
the colony is to furnish a home by
sending money to nihilists who may
hereafter escape from Russia .—San
Francisco Chronicle.
llow Men of Iron Are Killed.
People know nothing about each
other. Every man is a globe, a natur

beaten every enemy outside of us, there
arises unseen enemies within us. Y'ou

every day and take his place at the
plow, and one day you find him dead,

Shoes Made from Human Skin.
I have noticed a number of times
that the shoes of a distinguished phy
sician are peculiarly lustrous in their
blackness and have often wonde if
lie used some magical blacking or util
ized tho muscles of a bootblack pos
sessed of a power unknown to his fel
lows in the black art. Yesterday af
ternoon my curiosity became uncon
j triable and I asked the physician how
it was that his foot-gear retaihed such
; a strange luster in all sorts of weather,
. His explanation was made abruptly,
i and was certainly startling. J will
not repeat the terse words that came
habitually to the medical man, whereby
he described the secret attached to the
singular appearance of bis sho.-s.
They were made of human leather; of
| the skin of a colored man.
I Ton may well be startled. 1 thought
j at fist that I was being made the sub
j ject of a joke, but the physician grave
ly informed me that he had simply
stated the the truth, and in further
conversation he convinced me that he
was not alone in having his shoemaker
use such leather. “You see," he said,
this leather is very soft and pliable,
My shoes never hurt iny feet. And
then it is more enduring than calf
skin. These shoes you see on me, and
which give but little evidence of wear,
have been in constant use for seven
months.”
1 found from the doctor that a num
ber of his fellow-physician, some of
whose names be mentioned, obtain the
skin from human bodies, have it cured
and made into shoes, match-safes,
cigar-cases and cases for surgical in¬
struments. The doctor frankly admit¬
ted that for years lie had provided him¬
self with shoe leather obtained from
the bodies of negroes that he has dis¬
sected. The best skin is taken from
the thighs. After he has removed it
he sends it to Womelsdorf, sixteen
miles beyond Reading, to a tanner who
has shown aptitude and an interest
akin to delight in handling it. The
perfected leather is subsequently fasli
ioned by a French shoemaker in this
city who knows nothing of the true
character of the material. In texture
and smoothness it is like the finest
French calf-skin, which it also resem¬
bles in color. The entire shoe is made
from it, sole leather being obtained by
placing several thicknesses together.

A New Orleans St recf-Car.
From an article on the New Orleans
Exposition, by Eugene Y. Smalley, in
the Century, we quote the following:
“In the street-cars there is less reserve
than in such vehicles in Northern
cities. Strangers open conversation
with you from mere expansiveness
and friendliness of (eeluui Tluo-a ia
a deal of chatting about the city, the
weather, atul the fair. Children are
noticed and petted, and babies create
a general sensation. In every other
car smoking is permitted. If ladies
get into tho smoking-cars, which are
plainly distinguished from others,
they are expected to make the best of
the situation and not glare at the men
for finishing their cigars. Sometimes
there are outspoken protests against
this custom. A party of ladies enter¬
ed a car one day in which a Creole
gentleman sat in placid enjoyment of
his cigar and his morning paper, The
windows were shut ami the air was
thick. The ladies began to make half
whispered remarks about the ‘horrid
air.’ Then something was said about
‘no gentleman smoking in the presence
of ladies where they came from.’ Still
the smoker was obdurate. lie puffed
away with increased vigor. He had a
right to smoke, and he evidently did
not intend to be intimidated. Various
sarcastic comments were made with
less and less pretense of undertone,
until the attention of all the passengers
was attracted to the struggle. Finally,
one of the women said, ‘Let’s offer him
j live cents for bis cigar.’ ‘Of course
he’ll take it,’ said another; die could
buy two of the sort he’s smoking.’
This shot finished the poor Creole. He
threw his cigar out the window, scowl¬
ed at his tormentors, but was to polite
to make any retort.”
Making Bar Material.
The old man rested his hand on the
anvil and looked about the shop that
employs many people manufacturing
j implements of war, and said: “How
1 curious it is, that after the conflict be¬
. tween the sections the preparations

8,000,000 rounds of ammunition and
15,000,000 of rifle balls each vear.”
“What do you do with it all?”
; “Tbree millions are used for target

Live Well.
The farmer can be the very be3t liver
in the land just as easily as not, and he
should be. He has his choice of the
world’s produce. He holds a first mort
gage on the herds and flocks. The
crops and fruits of the earth are his
to begin with, and he should “fare
sumptuously every day.” Why not?
He will be all the better man and bet
ter farmer for it, and it is his duty as
well as his privilege. The only reason
that he does not is that he has per
milted himself and his family to get
into a rut of beef and cabbage, pork
and pototoes, that he finds it difficult
to get out of. This is ail wrong from
every point of view. He should get
out, lie must get out, if he would make
the most of himself and his family,
and now is the time to make a begiu
ning. Here’s spring, with all its gar¬
dening opportunities. Improve them.
Enlarge the boundaries of the garden,
and enlarge your ideas of gardening
at the same time. Plan with liberal
views, and plant with a liberal hand,
Is the old garden cramped? Turn it
over to the women for tho herbs and
a “posey bed,” and go out to the near
est side of the corn field, and make a
garden big enough in which to spread
yourelf. Make the rows as long as the
field is wide, as as far apart as will ad
niit your cultivator or borsehoe, and
some to spare,and in them plant soine
thing besides onions and cabbage. Take
the catalogue of the best seedsman
you know, and let the whole list of
vegetables, from artichokes to turnips
be represented by one or two of the
best sorts. Plant every third row with
some one of the “small fruits,” giving
it an extra liberal share of space.
Now give this side of the corn field a
little extra attention during the sea

Improving a Poor Farm.
Mr. A. G. Sharp, of the Richmond,
(Mass.) Grange gave in a lecture some
tiems of experience in renovating
worn land, which he says involves, to
begin with, “a man chock full of days'
works:”
“Like the old woman who put the
poorest pork in the bottom of the bar¬
rel so as to have the best to eat first
all the way down, L took my best land

ploughing up more land than I can

There is little danger of putting on too
much. 1 began in the middle of my
farm and have cleared on an average
two acres of rocks each year.”
“1 have put up some new fence each
year, if only a very little. I make all
the manure 1 can each year, using
some absorbents—muck, ten to twolvo
tons swamp hay, dry sifted coal-ashes
and some lorest leaves, and then buy
all the fertilizer I dare to besides, or
all 1 think I can uso to advantage ou
crops. We should grow more soi ing
crops, such as sowed corn. Hungarian
and millet. For late fall feeding sow
barley; even after August 1 this can
be done and make a good green feed

cornstalks.
“The more we can food out on the
farm the faster w< can improve it. It
is not safe to sell bay unless you draw
home some bran or fertilizer tho sama
day that you sell tne hay on the return

something else you are not apt to buj

The Magnetic Tree Cure.

and touching it with his hands. He di¬
rected streams of the magnetic fluid from
his body to the branches and then to
the trunk; after which he had circular
seats erected all around it, and cords
suspended from it in all directions.
“When the patients had seated them¬
selves, they twisted the cords round the
diseased parts of their bodies, and held
one another lirmiy by their thumbs to
form a direct channel of communication
for the passage of the fluid.’’
The result of this magnetnizing by the
mass is related in a letter to his brother,
dated May, 1784:
“I continue to make use of the happy
power for which I am indebud to M.
Mesmer, Every day I bless his name,
fori am very useful, and produce many
salutary effects on all the sick poor in
the neighborhood. They flock around
my tree; there were more than 1:30 of
them this morning. Not a leaf of it

or less, the good effects of it. I have
only one regret, it is that I cannot
touch all who come. Ma dam de Puyse

admiration, which cannot be described.
Without my tree, which gives me rest,
and which will give me still more, I

About the Gulf Stream Currents.
The United States steamer Blake,Cap¬
tain Pillsbury, has returned to Charles¬
ton, S. C., from a successful and sat¬
isfactory voyage of submarine explora¬
tions, covering several months. The
Blake anchored in the Gulf stream be¬
tween the Forey rocks and the Bahama
banks, 200 miles cast of the deepest
part of the Atlantic, 1,500 fathoms in
depth, discovered by Captain Pillsbury
two years ago. The Blake anchored in
481 fathoms and succeeded in dredging
up a large quantity of animal and vege¬
table life, among which will probably
be found many species hitherto compar¬
atively, if not entirely unknown. Though
Captain Pillsbury has uot yet completed
the calculations bearing upon the veloci¬
ty of deep sea currents, he is convinced
that in lower depths the change of the
velocity is not so great as toward the
surface. The surface currents are strong¬
er with the deflection of the moon. • It
is plain from his observations during the
past three months that the strength of
current of the Guif stream is invariably
on the Florida instead of the Bahama
side of the stream. He has found the
temperature to range from forty-two to
eighty-one degrees. The greatest veloci¬
ty of the stream at the surface is about
four knots, but the fluctuations are fre¬
quent and great. Captain Pillsbury
says that when his observations shall
have been properly tabulated an d his
calculations deducted he will be able to
give the scientific world a tieatas to
deep sea sounding, current velocity, ani¬
mal and vegetable life and the earth’s
surface for miles under the sea .—New

Dietetic Errors as a Cause of Disease.

Popular Science Monthly. I have
come to the conclusion that a
proportion amounting at least to
than one-half of the disease which era
bilters the middle and latter part of life
among the middle and upper classes of
the population is due to unavoidable er
rors iu diet. I urther, while such dis
sease renders so much of life, for many,
disappointing. unhappy, and profitless, a
term of painful endurance, for not ‘ a few ”

not be a difficult task—and its results if
displayed here would be striking—to ad

the register general’s reports, or by con
suiting the records of life-assurance ex
perience. I shall not avail myself of

would be right to do so in the columns
of a medical journal, My object here is

A New Vegetable From China,
Some experiments recently carried on
by two or thsce Austrian and German
horticulturists have brought into notice
an almost forgotten plant which was in¬
troduced into Europe from China nearly
thirty years ago,but w hose existence and
whose products have been undeservedly
lost sight of. This is the Soja hispida.
a species of leguminous plant, somewhat
resembling in habit and appearance the
well known pea. Unlike the latter.how
ever, it has two distinct uses—industrial
as well as alimentary. It is highly indeed prized
in China and Japan, and is said
to take its scientific title from the Jap¬
anese name of a sauce-sooja—which is
made from its seeds. The seeds are very
similar to a “marrow-fat” pea, but con
tain a large quantity of oil, which is
either pressed out of them or boiled out the
in process of cooking the seeds for
table, which is effected_by boiling simply throw¬ the
ing them into water, when
outer skin bursts and floats to the sur¬
face, together with a quantity of oil.
both the oil and the husks being skimmed
off together. These may be either used
as cattle food.or the oil may purposes,while be separated
and employed for various
the husks are still valuable as a feeding
stuff or as a manure.
The peas are boiled for about twenty
minutes, and furnish a dish which is
highly relished,not only by the Celestials,
but by the Europeans who have tasted
it. It is said to resemble in flavor the
green pea, but lacks its sweet taste. The
boiled soja is also prepared as a cake and
as a sauce, being fermented (or the latter
purpose, and salt, pepper, etc., being
added. The sauce has a high reputation
among the Chinese and Japanese, not
merely as a condiment, but as a medicinal
agent. Chemical analysis of the seeds
show them lo be very rich in pruteine.
The oil is available for many uses—for
burning in lamps or even as a substitute
for olive oil. Being somewhat of a sic¬
cative nature it is not adapted for a lub¬
ricant, but is for that reason useful as a
substitute for linseed oil in the manufac¬
ture of paints and in other similar indus¬
trial arts. Finally, to complete the list
of virtues of this Celestial pea, the
haulm gives an excellent fodder for cat¬
tle and horses .—London Globe.
