$5*0 Bry»n Dktboit. Mich. Oct. 18.—Tlie rule estatilif-licl by William J. Bryan to a v<ml any public utterances on Sun- (jav was broken to-night when he jpoke briefly to a crowd of newsboys at the nnwsboys’ hall. He did it to oblige lbs triend and supporter Ool. j (i. Butler, president of the News boys Association. At Mr. Bryan’s re nU est tlie affair was kept very quiet, and outside of the little yende s a few visitors only were present. This was his speech: Boys, 1 did no t come to make a speech to-night, because this is the day I rest, and 1 have felt the need of h -ving a day of rest more recently than ever before Put 1 came because 1 nev r like to decline an invitation to be'present at any place where an endeavor is being mad- to do good. ' nd I don’t know 0 f tt y worn which is better than that work which is done for boys We were nil boys once— and some of us „ot so very long ago—and whe*i | ,ee hoys I am reminded of what one ofoiir Presidents—I think it was »ar field—said, that you could not tell what possibilities were buttoned U' under the vest of a boy. hitch Torn WAGON TO A STAR. We are not ourselves responsible [ot the surroundings of youth. We are born into tHs world a nd the (urroundinhs meet ns, and to a cer tain ex ent they affect us. But be yond that we have much to do with shaping nur own course. What we amount to in this world depends upon the ideas which we have. Some one has said that a person who aims at the stars will shoot higher which limply means that those who have the highest ideas will accomplish most. A meeting of this kind where they teach you -patriotism, where they teach you regard for each other, respect for each other’s rights, neces sarily elevates your ideas, gives you broader views of life, and those views will help yon to accomplish more- Now in this country in which we live hoys are more blessed than in any other country on earth, because the hoy in this < .untry has everything open to him. and the boy in this country may accomplish more than he can in any other country. THE HOY ORATOR OK THK PLATTE. .Vow there are times when ahn- msu life, or many human 'iyes, will depend upon tlie action of one per son: there are times when the welfare of the continuity will depsnd on one person: there are times when the wel fare of the nation will depend upon one person, and when you remember how iulluential one person maybe- come iu tlie destinies of the nation, how useful he may be to his fellows, to society, you can see that if a kind word or act should be the cause of getting that boy started right, lead ing him up to take advantage of his opportunities, what results uay fol low? I want you to remember that no good ever comes to boys or men from doing wrong, and that right al ways pays. I know it is hard always to believe, but if you take the broad view of life and its possibilities, you will tind that it always pays to do what you believe is right. It is al ways necessary that you should try to tind out what right is, and the ed ucation which you receive in the schools enables you to see things, ai d understand, and then the desirt to do the best thing leads you to take advantage of the opportunities tha. are offered to you. I feel interested in you hoys who are starting out so young toepinke a living. Some of us, instead <if having to depend on ou own exertions were carried forward by others. A FAMILIAR MOTTO. i am not sure that you, who begin tins life of independence and of .nie ces- ry activity so early havean aid- vantuge over us who did not, but whether you had the advantAgedr not if you improve every opportunity that Comes and let your motto be treat ev ery one as you would have that per son treat you, and to make the best opportunity of everything that con es within voi r reach, and to do nothing that your conscience will condemn you for, when you get to be old men. you will tie able to look back and b- grateful to Col. Butler and to those associated with him in this effort to give you higher ideas, and to give you words of encouragement iu the year of your youth; and unless I am mis taken, the older you grow the deeper will lie your 'ecdng of gratitude to wards those who gave you this kindly assistance when you were boys. AVOID SELFISHNESS, i want you to remember this also, that you are not the only ones who are henetitted by these tilings, be cause the Creator lias so arranged the things of this world that when we try to help others we help ourselves. Tho-e who have tried to help you, those who have tried to do you good And that they themselves are benefit ed bv the operation. While they are tiying to make your lives happier tlwir own lives are made happier, ll I can leave this idea with you I think that it may he of use to you. that the highest good that can come •o yon is doing something foTothers, and you w ill find among your play mates that the boy who does most for the hoys around hhi is the boy who is hked best and is the hoy whoenjoya Oiuiself most. PiASiHTS IN FAMILD. MAJOR TOM WOODWARD'S PERlENCE WITH THEM. EX- Number Turned Loose and Doing Well. A grand Opoortunity to Stock the Country With a Great Game Bird. To the Editor of The Stati: I am frequently Interrogated on the subject of pheasants, and finding it irk some to reply to all singly I take this method of doing ■#. Three years ago I purchased of A. P. »tuhr, Portland, Oregon, a trio-cock and two hens—Mongolian or Chinese pheasants at a co-t then of, $5 a piece and expressage on the lot, $10. They ar.ired in May, the 25th, the party having delayed shipments in ordr to get the eggs. In consequence of the late shipment, 1 secured only a few eggs and and did not raise any that year. The next year the two hens laid 162 eggs, an average of 81 apiece; one of them, the younger laying 100. Prom these I matured 30 fine birds and turned out 15 of them, which are now reported breed ing and doing well, nests and young 11roods having been seen by responsible farmers around. The next year I lost all my hens from cholera caused by feeding shells laid by chicken hens with the disease, and secured only one setting of eggs, from which I succeeded in raising eight pheasants from them this year. After distributing about 150 eggs in several counties, I have reared and set free 42, which are daily seen in the pea fields around, and if allowed to breed next year with those heretofore freed will supply this section bountiful ly in a few years. The Mongolian pheasant is the finest game bird ou the continent, gorgeous to look at, finer in flavor than the quail, very hardy and stands well to the dog It was sent from China about 1882 to the Portland gun and rod club by the Unit ed States counsel to Shanghai, and has overrun the States of Oregon and Washington. With clubs in each coun ty to repeat the experiment made here, and with good game laws such as will no doubt be passed by the next legisla ture, it would be but a few years until the State would swarm with this grand est of bin’s. They are smaller than the English mixture, but I think are mere hardy and certainly more prolific. The cocks weigh three pounds and the hens two pounds, the common quail weighs barely half a pound. They are not more difficult to rear than young tur keys and command a good price if raised for profit. T. W. Woodward. Hockton, Oct. 10, 1896. Spare a little cash now.

Errers, professor at the University of Brussels, has succeded, and by a very simple process, in making artificial rain, says the New York Herald. All that he uses is a bottle, of Bohemian glass, which is covered with an ordinary por celain saucer and is half filled with al cohol of 98 degrees strength. He heats this bottle in a bath of water until the alcohol, the sides of the bottle and the saucer are of an almost equal temper ature. Then he takes it out the bath, places it carefully on a table and ot>- josves it closely. He is rewarded by aa interesting sight The vapor of the alcohol soon fills the bottle, but the saucer cools rap idly and the vapor, being warmer, be comes condensed as soon as it cornea in contact with it. The upper air in the bottle also qnickly becomes of a lower temperature, and real clouds soon ap pear. These speedily become dissolved into a multitude of tiny rain drops, which fall thickly just aa an ordinary shower. The bath of water performs the func tions of the sun, the alcohol repreaenta the ocean, the clear space beneath the sky, which dominates the sombre mass of clouds, and the upper air in the bot tle, chilled by contact with the saucer, plays the role of the cold atmospheric currents which bring about the condensa lion of vapor iuto clouds. We see, then, that the phenomenon Is faithfully reproduced in all its details. A still more striking result can be ob tained by using a cold saucer in the place of th« warm one. In that qase the difference of the temperature will be in creased and we can witness a regular old-fashioned storm or hurricane. This is indeed a tempest in a bottle.
