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 al history to himself. When we have beaten every enemy outside of us, there arises unseen enemies within us. Y'ou see the powerful horse go to the field every day and take his place at the plow, and one day you find him dead, and you ask what the trouble might have been.

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. — I’h iladelph ta News. 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 j f or Wllr do not cease.

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.

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 son.

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 first and have manured heavily ss far iis 1 have gone.

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 but communicates health! All feel, more 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 gur, the friends she has with her, my servants, and in fact all who are near me, feel an amazement mingled with admiration, which cannot be described. Without my tree, which gives me rest, and which will give me still more, I should be in a state of agitation incon¬ sistent, I believe, with my health.” What could more fully illustrate the power of imagination than the narration of the healing tree. 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 Orleans Times-Democrat. Dietetic Errors as a Cause of Disease. Sir Henry Thompson says in the 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.

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. Cost of the Public Buildings in Washington.
