sionists to this famous valley have been
materially changed since last summer.
The railroad company finding it to their
advantage to divert the travel from the old
route, have made arrangements to accom-
plish that result. Instead Of going by the
Copperopolis & San Joaquin Valley
Railroad to Milton or to Burnett's, as for
merly, and thence by stage through
Knights Ferry and Chinese Camp, passen-
gers will take the southern route Leav-
ing this city on the morning train, they
will proceed on the Western Pacific road
to Lathrop; thence by rail down the San
Joaquin valley, on the Visalia branch of
the road, to MERGED, distance of 1873
miles from this city. From MERGED there
are two routes into the valley-one by stage
via Coulterville to Gentry's, so miles,
which is eight miles from, the hotels in the
valley. Three miles of this trip from Gen
try's down into the valley must be made
on horseback, and the remainder may be
made on stages up the valley. The other
route is by Mariposa, ~ miles from Mer
ced. From Mariposa to Clark's is 24
miles, and from Clark's into the valley,
via Glacier Peak, on horseback, 21 miles.
The latter route includes a trip to the Mar
iposa grove of big trees, which are only
five miles from the trail. The fare hasnot
been definitely fixed by the railroad COM
pany yet, but it will be $50 or $55. The
agent is prepared to furnish private teams
on the last named route to all who prefer
them to stages.
To visit the Calaveras Grove, passengers
will leave here at seven O'Clock in the
morning, proceeding by rail to Stockton,
ninety miles, thence by rail on the Copper
opolis and San Joaquin Valley road to
Milton, distance of thirty miles, arriving
at 40 p. IN. From there they will pro-
coed by stage to Murphy's Camp, arriving
at that place the evening of the same day:
From there to the Grove is an easy ride OF
fifteen miles. Fare for the round trip, 1923.
No arrangements have been made by the
railroad company for the accommodation
of persons DESTROYS of visiting Lake Ia
hoe and Bonner Lake. This is due to GER
tain unexplained difficulties and differ
enccs among the parties interested in Sc
curing this custom. 1t is too early yet,
however, for visitors to go to either OF
these delightful resorts; and by the time
the season is sufficiently advanced to make
visit to either of the lakes desirable or
pleasant, it is probable that the difficulties
will be settled and arrangements made for
the accommodation of visitors to those
beautiful summit lakcs-Son Francisco

Trapping MOles Alive.

The following method of destroying
moles is practiced in Gloucester: A we'll
used run is discovered in bank; cut
ting is made about foot in width, and
the run is bridged over by a narrow box,
consisting of three pieces of wood, form
ing the bottom and two sides only; the
ends are fixed in the run on either side.
In the bottom of the bridge is nicely
balanced selfacting trap-fall The molcs
run along, slip through and fall into an
earthenware pot The bridge is carefully
turfed over, grass downward to keep out
the earth; every ray of light must be care
fully excluded. The trap being always
set, the moles fall in and perish. The
pots are left UNDECIDED, and as new corners
drop in they are eaten by those in the
pot, which is gradually filled with skins
and bones. Water should be put in to
drown them, but this is cruelty neglected.
If looked at every day, the moles can be
caught alive and well. A bank is chosen
because the pot can be looked at and re-
placed without disturbing the bridge; but
a run on the flat ground would do by dig
ging proper trench for the bridge and
pot. A very simple plan is to sink in the
mole's run pitcher which will hold three
or four pints. DO it very neatly, and not
otherwise disturb the existing state of
things, and within eight hours the sable
gentleman will be safely jagged. 1t will
be pure waste of time to try to catch the
same animal second time by the same
means. Moles usually run as it is
termed, at stated times of day, about
eight, twelve and four O'Clock, when their
workings must be watched; and by
quietly and stcalthily approaching them
they may be dashed out of the heap Or
little run they are working by one stroke
of spade, and then picked up and bagged
before they can again enter the ground;
or, when they are working small run,
they are easil y taken out Of it by jumping
on to the run with the heels apart, SO that
each heel shall enter and stop the run on
each side of the mole, which must be i'm
mediately drawn out by the hand. l
write from experience, and repeat that
the greatest care is requisite to prevent
the moles (which are very sensitive) from
hearing or feeling your approach:-7Ae

Cure Of Stammering.

Very gratifying results have been oh,
tanned by NJ. Chervin, a physician Of
Lyons, in treating the vicious habit of
stammering. A commission appointed to
investigate the working of DR.. Chervin's
system, put under his treatment eight pa
tients, varying in age from ten to twenty
nine years, all of whom stammGrcd In
their speech to most painful degree.
Some of the patients had been stammerers
from early infancy, while others owed the
habit to nervous shock. In ten days after
they were first placed under the care Of NJ.
Chervin they were all able to speak with
out stammering, and at the end of three
weeks were discharged perfectly cured
The mode of treatment is rs follows: The
patient is taught. by means of a large num-
Der of exercises, to pronounce with dis
tinctness vowels, consonants, syllables,
and sentences. Great attention is paid to
the regulating of the act of inspiration. A
slow but normal inspiration is taken at
certain intervals, and this is succeeded by
an even, CONTINUOUS, and loud exprations
during which pronunciation is effected.
Twenty days are devoted to the treatment,
the time being divided into three periods;
one of silence, to break up the old habit;
one in which the patient is taught to
speak slowly and deliberately; and third,
wherein he acquires the practice of speak
ing tlucntly, and without clipping his
words.

A man failed in Portsmouth, N H.,
some thirty years ago. He settled with
his creditors for sixty cents on a dollar,
and went off, an insolvent emigrant, to the
West. He was not heard of again, and
had been gone SO long that his Oldest cred
itor might not have known him. But
not long since, there came a letter from
him bearing the post-mark of Il town in
Texas. The bowels of the letter, so to
speak, were $4,000, the entire remainder
of this excellent mans indebtedness. So
he has paid dollar for dollar, less interest;
and, if such be the moral influence of the
Texas atmosphere, it would be we'll for
many other insolvents to emigrate in that
direction.

How Birds Learn to Sing and Build.

What is instinct? 1t is the faculty of
performing complex acts absolutely with
out instruction or previously acquired
knowledge" Instinct, then, would enable
animals to perform spontaneously acts
which, in the case of man, pre-supposes
ratiocination, logical train of thought
But when we test the observed facts
which are usually put forward to prove
power of instinct, it is found that they are
seldom conclusive. 1t was on such
grounds that the song of birds was taken
to be innate, albeit a very ready expert
ment would have shown that it comes
from the education they receive. During
the last century harrington brought up
some linnets, taken from the nest, in COM
pany with larks of sundry varieties, and
found that every one of the linnets adopt
ed completely the song of the master set
over him, so that now these linnets-larks
by Observation-Disclosures company
apart when placed among birds of their
own species. Even the nightingale, whose
native sound is so sweet, exhibits, under
demonstration, considerable readiness to
initiate other singing birds. The song of
the bird is, therefore, determined by its
education, and the same must be true as to
nest-building. A bird brought up in a
cage does not construct the nest peculiar
to its species. In vain will you supply
all the necessary materials; the bird will
employ them without skill, and will often
times even renOunce all purpose of build
ing anything like a nest. Does not this
well-known fact prove that, instead of be-
ing guided by instinct, the bird learns how
to construct his nest, just as man learns
how to build house?-Popular Science
