The consultations of interests between the
managers of the Southern Transatlantic Rail-
road Company and the Lower California Com
pany is looked upon by the San Diego Union
as exceedingly important. "The combination
thus formed" Gays that journal lis powerful
enough to build the railroad without Govern
ment aid, II the managers are so disposed. The
Lower California Company numbers among its
directors the money kings OF New York, men
who are accustomed to carry through their un-
deTtakipgs'
The St. Clair Flats Canal improvement it
is expected, will be completed before the close
of navigation. "As yet" says the Detroit 1ri-
bune ''but few vessels have been permitted to
run through the channel-only those which were
certain to do no injury as frst-class steamers,
guhboats, etc, and they have always run through
slowly. When it is opened for general nayiga-
tion no landing along the sides will be allowed,
but all vessels must run entirely through, thus
reducing to a minimum the damage or injdry to
the location"
"A land case, which has been tried in several
of the Missouri courts, during a period of
tweDty-oDe years, was lately decided before the
Supreme Court at St. Louis in such way that
il is not likely to be ever brought up again.
The plaintiff, a man named John Mcguire,
bought the land in dispute for $3l5 in 1916, sued
in ejectment the same year aud was defeated.
His last effort TO have the United States Supreme
Court pass upon the title was defeated on the
ground that IL had no Jurisdiction or power In
PASS on a question of local State law and prac-
lice. The costs are enormous.

Street Flirting.

The impression tina. tho pretty girls
liked to he smiled, winked, bowed at
by gentleman, evidently prevails to an
alarming extent among certain youths
who imagine they possess irresistible
charming physiques. A casual obser-
yer might not notice this fact, but those
whose business requires them. to be
much gu the street, cannot fail to do so.
A lady who possesses q becoming
toilet is liable, one who possesses
pretty face as likely and one who
possesses both almost certain, to be
started and smiled at, and probably
followed by some shallow brain fop
who imagines that every lady he meets
is "strnck" with his fine personal ap-
pearance and good clothes. Some of
the sellsatisfied youths are constantly
in motion and apparently their aim is
to pass and repass attractive young
ladies' as frequently as possible in
given time and space. Others locate
their ssta ming" frames in striking
attitudes on prominent street corners,
and allow the pretty damsels to pass.
before them on dress review, bestow-
ing their serpentine greetings on al
who are SO fortunate as to notice them,
A woman who feels fattered by, for
who will return the recognition Of q
stranger, is either possessed Of de-
gree of vanity, very likely to prove her
ruin, or is already beyond the posi-
bility of any snch change in her morals.
There are Of course circumstances
nnder which acqnaintences may, be
formed without introductions our
meaning is doubtless sufficiently plain
without detailing the exceptions,
which all sensible women understand
and appreciate. Some girls claim that
the only attractions in street flirting,
is, that there's fun in it, and nothing
more serions is liable to result from il.
This theory will not hold good in
one half the cases; las fully that pro-
portion of flirting girls become unsta-
BILE or .delnoralized women.) It may
he fun at first, for girls, but men rare
" waste their time and devote SO much
labor to the simple qnest of fun, as
understood by the guiltless. Girls who
encourage it rarely, if ever, are quite
as refined and attractive members Of
society as when they commenced, and
many poor down trodden woman can
trace her ruin to what she at first con-
sidered an innocent Irritation. 1t may
be set down as a general rule that the
prettiest girls are those who dress the
plainest; pretty girls do not require
the extra adornment of dress. Whence
yer, therefore, we see one Of the gaudi-
~ arrayed creatures of fashion, our
mind is at once made up, she is not
naturally beautiful. Every rule has
its exception, SO has this one but in
its application it will he found to b
pretty correct.

RAISE SHEEP AND EAT MUTTON
Good mntt0n, well fatted and neatly
is the most wholesome, nu-
tritious and cheapest of meats. It
grows quickly and costs little to pro-
duce it compared with beef and pork.
Every farmer should have q few long
wool Cosset sheep, at least Cotswold
OF Leicesters. They are little trouble,
and will keep fat on the orts Of cattle.
They usually bring two lambs, which
will sell to the butchers for from eight
to ten dollars by the LIST of July. Their
fleece averages eight to fourteen
pounds, with from sixteen to twenty
five per cent. shrunk only. Their wool
is now, and will be, in the future,
worth thirty per cent. more than me-
rino, which shrinks forty live to sixty
per cent, according to the family and
treatment of the flock. Long wool
makes strong, excellent and durable
stocking yarn, though it is mostly used
to make the brilliant, light and lus-
trous Orleans goods, for the apparel Of
our pretty women. Two such sheep
will yield as much profit as common
COW, and five of them can be kept O.
cheap as cow in milk. Their lamhs,
and mutton would keep q farmer sup
piled with the best of fresh meat Of
one kind, as often as is necessary, tho.
year round, and would make an agree
able episode to the eternal round Of
salt junk and pork, and be far moro
healthy than either. Those who eat
principally salted meats show it in
their complexioQs, their skin being less
fair aud smooth. Pork, at best, eaten
constantly, produces irritation and
eruption of the skin. Then let all
manufacturers, mechanics, and all men
who areinterested to have good meat
and the board of operatives cheap and
wholesome, see to it that mutton rails
ing and wool growing are properly en-.
couraged, as matter of health and
] economy. Meat is a great item in th,
expense of board Of operatives, etc.
g we grow our own wool we shall Away,

meat, and the whole people, includin

room. from which, she could take notes
and listen to inadvertent remarks.
Do not think we are reducing onr
pretty Fanny to the ordinary level of
an ewes dropper; she kept all the IN
formation thus OCCURRED closely in her
own heart, and it was the only means
she could devise of knowing the home
life of her almost constant visitors,
And, after all, this home-lifcis the real
life, the true index of character. No
matter how polite a young man may
be to other ladies Of his acquaintance,
if he is unkind to his mother, or rude
to his sister, he is clown at heart, and
his wife will surely discover it ere
many years have elapsed. Many a
man is noted for courteous and win
ming manners abroad, who is a tyrant
in his own family circle.
The very atmosphere of Edward
Grey's home was redolent with his
thoughtful kindness. The invalid sis
ter could hardly forbear his praises
even to the stranger, and the mothers
proud smile whenever his name was
mentioned, spoke more than mere
words.
'tElla," said Mrs. Grey, as she sat
10y the invalid's lounge, in distant
part of the room, .'you must lie still
now love, and rest yourself for an hour
or more; yon are getting SO muckex-
cited over this invitation, that fear
yon ill be really ill.,"
sit isnot tire party, MOTHER" said
the young girl in a low tone, ..not the
thought of my beautiful new dress that
excites met is seeing Edward so
happy. If it were his own wedding he
could not betray more JOY"
"IIe has not spoken to me in that
manner said her mother, guar,ledly.
"Oh, no" said Ella. Che does not tell
me this-his whole manner speaks it !
I have been so much secluded from So
ciety that observe more closely the
few that makes my little world. Nei-
ther you nor Edward can enjoy or suf-
fer, without my knowledge; and if
mistake not, you are both very much
changed within few days."
| ayes, dear Ella" said Mrs. Grey,
''you have Judged rightly. I think
Edward feels received from fear that
Albert Melville might prove success
full rival; but / fear he has other OBJ
stacles to encounter. He is so hone
| fnl and so fond of us, that he refuses to
! consider our support any burden hn,
he will not marry until he can support
both her and US. Even ii he were sure
Of her affections, how could he EXPECT
) her to give up al the luxuries to which
she has been accustomed, and live il
this simple style7"
Fanny felt that she was hearing too
much, as both mother and daughte
f had forgotten they were not alone, 81
, she recalled their attention t. her pres
ence by question about her work.

MAGooN.-We have yet to come in con-
tact with Democratic paper that says a
word against Hon. II. S. Magoon, the new
" elected Senator from Lafayette county.
Personally. they say, he is above reproach.
On the other hand nearly every Republi-
can paper in the State speaks of him in
the highest terms of praise. If he is half
as good man as those we'll acquainted
with him claim he is, what's the reason he
wouldn't be just the man for the Republi-
cans 70 nominate for Governor
We clip the above item from the Fond
du Lac Commonwealth, which, by the way,
is one of the best, largest, most ably con-
Quoted, and most influential papers in the
State. We have been personally acquant-
ed with Hon. H. S. Magoon for years, and
are unable to name single reason why he
wouldn't be "just the man for the Repub-
licans to nominate for Governor" In fact,
from our personal and intimate acquaint-
ance with him, we are free to say that be
is just the man; for there is probably not
finer scholar, more polished gentleman,
or better business man in the whole State.
And in regard to how he is appreciated
where he is known, his late election to the
Senate over Judge Dunn, one Of the old
est settlers, and one of our strongest men,
in county which claims to be very strong
" Democratic, tells more than we are able
to say in short newspaper item. But as
Mr.. Magoon is not an Office seeker, and will
not stoop to log-rolling, wire pulling. or
any of the low devices Of professional pol
-iticians,, it would probably he a pretty
hard task to nominate him.
