How Salmon Are Hatched.
The Oregon state fisheries exhibit
which will be located in the north end
of the forestry building at the Lewis
and Clark exposition Portland Ore.
will be one of fascinating interest to
eastern people visiting the fair. The
exhibit will show the methods used in
hatching salmon the chief fishing re-
source of Oregon and mere will be
many specimens of the "lordly Chi-
nook" the king of fresh water fishes.
Some of the largest fish of the spring
catch weighing 85 or 90 pounds and
measuring 5 and six feet long will
be preserved in formaldehyde in invert-
ed glass jars made especially for the
purpose. The exhibit will be the finest
of its kind ever displayed at an expo
sltion. Recreation.
Cotton-Plant's Counter-Stroke.
Studies of the cotton-boll weevil bj
the department of agriculture's experts
have established the fact that the cotton-
plant in some of its varieties has de-
veloped a practical means of resisting
and destroying the weevil larvae. The
defense made by the plant consists of
the development in the young buds that
are attacked of an exudation which fills
the cavity eaten out by the larvae and
either smothers the latter or starves it
by surrounding it with a watery tissue
from which it cannot derive sufficient
nourishment. The process is analogous
to that by which galls and other vege-
table excrescences are formed. Mr. O.
F. Cook suggests that the general plant-
ing of a variety of cotton possessing
this defensive process as a constant
character might exterminate the weevil

Indi "I was in bed four weeks with
la grippe and I tried many remedies

INCBEASING IN COST.
PEICES OF FOODS IK UNITED
STATES ABE GOING UP.
Various Articles of Dally Consump-
tion That Have Gone Beyond
the Purses of Poor
Folks.
Most exasperating of all in the in-
creased cost of living is the increase in
the cost of food. When it is considered
that the average American family
whose income does not exceed $1200
spends (as has been ascertained by gov-
ernment investigators) nearly 45 per
sent of its entire income on food it is
easily seen says Pearson's Magazine
how a great difference is made by a rise
in prices of ten to twenty-five cents on
every dollar's worth of edible supplies
covering meats vegetables and practic-
ally all eatables. As compared with the
average prices governing during the
period of. 1890 to 1900 it is reckoned by
the United States bureau of labor that
hams and salt beef have gone up 12 per
cent. salt pork and bacon 32 per cent.
lard 35 per cent fresh vegetables 13
per cent corn meal 16 per cent. crack-
ers 19 per cent. New Orleans molasses
20 per cent beans 31 per cent herrings
31 per cent. salt 21 per cent pepper 72
per cent and currants 121 per cent.
These are only a few illustrative items.
Poor Mrs. Benedick when she goes
to market finds that her housekeeping
money does not go very far. She does
her best pricing various articles from
stall to stall and buying each thing
where it is cheapest or on6 wold
rather say least dear but the result is
very discouraging. Less beef than is
really wanted and' inferior cuts at that
must be made to do. As for fresh veg-
etables they are likely to be so high as
to be impossible. Eggs have climbed
nearly 30 per cent. and the best ones
which are the only kind worth buying
come at 28 cents a dozen in summer
whereas half a dozen years ago they
could have been purchased for 21 cents
3r 22 cents. Sometimes indeed they
went lower but we are speaking here of
average prices.
In those happy days choice "chur''"
roast could be had for six cents a
pound; now it costs nine cents. Prime
roast beef was 15 cents; now it is 17
cents. Soup meat came at 8 cents;
now it is 11 cents. Porterhouse steak
was 21 cents; now it. is 25. Sirloin steak
was 17 cents; nowit is 20. Round steak
was 16 cents; now it is 18. Meanwhile
chickens have gone up enormously.
Fowls that used to cost 12 cents a pound
are now 18 cents while roasting chick-
ens have ascended from 20 cents to 25
cents. Turkeys are no longer for poor
folks even at Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas. No wonder that Mrs. Benedick finds
that her market money runs short. If
she vould have a decent quality of but-
ter on her table she must pay 30 cents
a pound for it whereas only four or five
years ago it could be had for 24 cents.
The cheese that used to cost 15 cents
now comes at 18. Molasses is 60 cents
a gallon instead of 48; milk lo eight
cents a quart instead of seven; lard is
13 cents a pound instead of nine; and
when it comes to fish the rise is pro-
portionate. Cod steak for instance has
climbed from 15 to 18 cents a pound.
Bread luckilyv still remains at five
cents a pound loaf in most places.
Mrs. Benedick's marketing account
only the other day showed that potatoes
cost her 25 cents a peck whereas the
price five or six years ago was only 18
cents. But of course one cannot get
along without potatoes. Rice is an
economical vegetable but it has gone.up
a cent and a half a pound incidentally to
the general rise in the necessaries of life.
She buys a good deal of pork because
it is cheaper than other kinds of meat;
but the fact is that it Is pretty nearly as
dear as beef used to be chops having
gone up from 11 to 15 cents and roast
Work in nearly as great a proportion.
Hams that were formerly 12 cents a
pound are now 16 cents. Most kinds of
groceries happily do not seem to have
increased much in price but it is cer-
tainly true that the quality of tea which
brought 40 cents a pound in the 90's
fetches 50 cents to-day.
International Pharmacopeia.
The new United States Pharmacopeia
has adopted the results of the Brussels
conference on the unification of the
formulas of heroic medicines. The
state of affairs to ameliorate which the
conference was called is illustrated by
the following statements made by Dr.
H. C. Wood president of the United
States Pharmacopeial convention: "A
prescription written in New York for
a much-used poisonous remedy would
be put up three times the desired
strength in Montreal where the Brit-
ish pharmacopeia is in vogue. Arsen-
ical preparations having the same
name vary in strength from one to
10000 to two in 100 according to the
national standard by which they are
made. Under the new system it is
hoped that all nations will adopt a
single standard. Youth's Companion.
Turned Bound by the Sun.
A large granite ball weighing two
tons in a cemetery in Ohio is slowly
turning on Its axis. During the last five
years the ball has turned 13 inches.
When the ball was placed in position an
unpolished spot six inches in diameter
was left In the socket of the pedestal on
which it rested. A year age It was no-
ticed that the unpoiished spot was turn-
ing upward on the south side of the
monument The revolution of the huge
polished ball which it would require a
derrick to lift is supposed to be due to
the sun's heating one side of it the
south and causing it to expand while
the north side which rests most in the
shade does not expand to the same ex-
tent and thus the ball gradually shifts
its position by turning.
