At the First Congregational church yester- day, the pastor, Rev. G. W. Crofts, gave a sermon to and about “*Young men,” choosing as his text: “Let no man despise thy youth, but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, m char n spivit, in faith, in purity,” these words being those used to Timothy, himself a young man. I those days when age was 8o much re- spected, Timothy's use was to his disadvan- tage as a public teachor, and it was very necessary that lie should so deport himself as to overcome prejudice and command respect. In this day age is not sufficiently respected. It i such an age of boasted progress that one is apt to think the aged have not kept pace with the onw jot or events. Among the ancient Jews a man of thirty was still a boy. Now a man is sald to pass the dead line at forty or fifty. It is not, however, a fact. No man passes the dead line so long us he re- owers, 10 mutter how old his years. st luminaries in church and’ state today are aged men. Sl youth is not to be despised. The young man's character should be so forcible as to ebscure all other considerations, Char- acter has no limitations. He should even be an example for others to follow. Many think it is enough to live above reproach. That is good, but the other is better.

Iknow of no way of generating heat more cheaply than these men are able to do ivunless it be the vague possibility of realizing the electrician’s dream and establish molecular motion in iron by the application of a current of ity. If this could be done it might be the means of flflul‘d\nf a cheaper method of heating our homes and generating power in our furnaces than by the use of water gas, but I doubt it. It has been thg dream of gasmalr- ers for ages to discover some rapid and economic means of disintegrating water and separating the two gases of which it is com- posed. The water is the vast natural reser- voir of all the hydrogen gas in the universe. Two-thirds of its bulk is pure hydrogen with the exception of the small amount of mineral held in solution. There has never been and there never will be a single cuble inch of hydrogen gas obtained from any other source than from water. It is the small wmount of water in the coal that produces the gas when the coalis shoveled in the retortic the gas works, and the in- tense heat is what itegrates it and seperates it, The oxygen remains behind, escapes ovis destro and the hydrogen rises from the retort and is carried into the gas holder. Ifyou can scperate the two guses by the combustion of less fuel vou cheapen the that much, If vou can liberate 100,000 fect of gas of ubout tén thousand, best result to be obtained by the old methods, you have decreased the cost of the gas just ten times. r\'nposu todo foryou, and itis what they have showe they cin do cven under disad- vantages.

This will leave them anet profit of 21 cents por thousand, which will make a very fair percéutage on their investment, especially when there is a probability that there eral millions of feet each year.

The true Mulaga grape is so tender and delicate fruit that it will not stand ship- ment well, andeven when 1t arrives here in ©ood condition it is so perishable that unless quick sales are made the importer will haye s labor for his pains. Nearly all of tho Malaga grape crop is made into raisins, The white and pinkish-white grapes sold here as Mulagas aro a hardy fruit. The region in which they are grown is wild and primitive, and: the grapes aro all transported from the vineyards to Almeria on donkeys, a distance of fifty miles, there being noroads to the hills. “The country between Almeria and the vineyaras is infested by wild_ beasts and out- laws, and tourists have not yet ventured to include that part of Spain in their wander- ings. As the average grape crop of the dis- trict is 400,000 barrels of forty pounds each, tho task of earrying it all that distance on donkeys may be imagined. The vineyards are all small holdings, and yield about fiye tons to the acre.

Thie barvestng of this unique grain crop is done during August. The vessels in which the grapes are shipped from Almeria cannot come into the wharfs, but lie at anchor some distance out. The grapes are taken to the vessels in rowboats of antique pattern and small capacity.

He Lives in the Coast Range and is Supposed to b> a Murderer, Twenty young men of Williams and vicinity went to the mountains recently for a few weeks’ recreation, says the Or- lund (Colusacounty, Washington,) News. They pitched their camp on the east side of Snow mountain, where Paradise creek plunges down the green-walled mountain side, while they lured the shy trout, innocent deer and fierce bear from their haunts in the unbroken mountain fastness, The boys enjoyed the allure- ments of the wilderness and the wild game furnished their table with an abundance of the most delicate viands, During the evening, when all were about the camp five, they at various times paused in the telling” of mirthful tales, thinking they had heard an iu- truding footstep near the camp, At last, however, in the middle of the night, when all was still about the place and wrapped in slumber, one of the young men was awakened by an unusual noise, and upon opening his eyes his vision rested for u minuto on the face of a stran, man, whose beard and hair were unkempt, hatless and in tattered clothing. As soon as the strange being found that he was observed, he afsnppc:..-ed into the fast- ness of the jungle. “Thero was no more sleep for the young man, although he remained in his bed. In about two hours the strange figure returned, his long hair floating in the midnight breeze, his chin almost resting upon his sunken chest, his bony fingers bent like a cat’s paw when about to spring, and from his eyes shown an unnatural light, Breathless did the young man, who had the day before bravely faced an enraged bear, watch the approaching figuve, whose countenance looked ghost-like in the light of the moon. The strange man approached the im- provised table of the camp, where meat and bread from the last meal remained, and ate ravenously, more like a wild beast than a human boing. Presently the young man saiuted him with a friend- ly greeting. Had an electric shock passed through his-system he could not have acted mova guickly. Inan instant the wild man.forsuch hé really appeared, sprang up the almost impassable mountain side as fleot a8 a deer, Excited and hardly knowing what he did, the young denizen of the plains, who had econquered nmui' a fair heart and broken scores of fractious mules, sent a rifle ball in the direction of the departing man, Hardly had the smoke of the gun, cleaved away when great bowlders came rolling down the precipitous side of the mountain, evi- dently loosened by the wild being which had passed up. The boys from that on lost their ap- petite for juicy venison and delicate trout. They only romained a day or so after, but during that time the strange figure was often seen skulking near the upon being discovered he would swiftly dlmppcm- into the almost impenetrable jungle, The deser.vtion of this “wild man of the hills” tallies exactly with that of Sim Welling, who murdered Safford near Willows three years ago. It is presumed that it is the murderer who escaped and went into the mountains, and thut his crime ever eating at his mind, together with the loneliness and hardships of such a life, drove hfm iu- saue, dest | oo glish-rpeaking 1 | ro'l Will Overrun the World, Lord Wolseley fully shares in General | Gordon’s belief in the latent possibilities | and Ger of the Chinese, **The Chinese,” he says, “‘are the coming nation.
