BEN BUTLER BELLIGERENT.-BenB Butler
rails loudly at the press for demanding the re-
peal Of his pet measure-the back-pay steal.
And we cannot doubt that the ominous una
nimity of the newspapers of the country on
this subject is little harassing to the soul of the
father of that stupendous iniquity. But nobody
knows better than Ben Butler that this unity
of sentiment and utterance on the part of
the press was not brought about by the
refusal of the law to allow newspaper exchan.
ges to pass through the mails free. Nobody
knows better than he does that the voice of
the press, which he seeks to sneer at and de-
ride, is in this matter clearly the voice of the
people. He cannot be blind to the great up
rising of the people from Maine to Texas, and
from thence to California; a movement which
has already resulted in the election of u Dem
ocrat in one place, Republican in another,
and an Independent in a third, according as
the one or the other has had the honesty and
courage to break loose from old and corrupt par
ty organizations and become leaders of the
popular crusade against monopoly and its leglt-
innate offspring, official corruption. 1t was
this movement that elected Governor Booth. in
California, and defeated Ben Butler, in Massa.
chusetts. Neither is Mr.. Butler ignorant of
the fact that free exchange of newspapers
does more to keep the people of the interior
informed in relation to current events than
any other agency whatever; but it may be for
this reason that the arch demagogue dreaded
the general exchange of papers and consequent
diffusion of knowledge which had sprung up
through the free exchange system. Country
papers, it is true, are little more than con.
densed reprints of the large and more favored
city papers; but they contain. usually, the main
features of the current events of the times.
and being subscribed for and read by the intel
ligent in the counties in which they are pub
ished afford an uncqualled means for the spread
of information.

DENY Ir.-Mr Bulge, Superintendent OF
Public Schools for Oneida county, who refuses
to bulge from the preposterousnes OF the claim
set up by that county against the Territorial
schoo fund, says, in his letter to the Statesman:
"Now, know it is inconvenient to be poor
and it is not pleasant to have our poverty thrown
in our faces, and to be blamed for it, especially
vben every laudable effort is being made to
oet ont Of it," We most emphatically deny
that auy one has thrown his poverty in his face
or blamed him for it. On the contrary we
oum;serate his state moro than he does. we
have lived long enough, and have observed
enough to realize that, when 97a men become
the fathers of 1926 bread-devouring cheru0s'
Of of the kind they have in Oneida county, their
., poverty is hopeless The most indomitable res
olution will fall helplessly before such an oo-
.tacle, Mr.. Bulge certainly has our sym
pathies.

Upper PAyETTE VALLEY, Jan. II. lS74.
Ed WoRLD:-In the opening of this letter.
permit me to call your attention to blundef
committed in the last number of the WORLD.
You say that Mr. Abraham Beard came to this
Territory without a cent, and is now the happy
possessor of shilling Whether or no the
first premiss is correct, will not attempt to
say; but that he has only shilling. is AN H.
complete statement: he has two shillings. Coin
number two is in the shape Of fine. intelligent
and healthy boy. about twelve years old, who is
now going to school in this valley. The public
school here is taught by gentleman Vmed
Jennings. well known throughout the Basin.
Now l will endeavor to collect what there is
transpiring in this place, that you may have
material with which to stuff the waste basket
We have had so far this winter. beautiful,
dry. and not over-cold weather. The snow Is
not over one foot deep in the valley-makes
splendid sleighing; but all are so near done
hauling, the benefits to be derived from 1t Will
be small. Beard g. Farnham haze hay and
potatoes Craig has gram; Wltt oo'h graz"
and hay. and Pourcet & Scandin hay, on hands
in the valley, to take to market yet With
these exceptions, the place is pretty well clean
Cd ont. We have but very little amusements
here this winter We had rural success -
on New Years, in the way Of free and easy
sociable, given at Mrs. Carrigan's. The house
wos crowded to it's utmost capacity and think
;udeinc from my own feelings. and the coun-
tenances of others present. ! am Just'hed IN
calling it a success. II in future, any!hlns
worth recording happens, will write again.

WHY THE RED SEA rs CALLED RED.-A
question that has puzzled scholars found so.
luton sometime since in the observation of an
American submarine diver. Smiths "Bible
Dictionary" discusses learnediy the name of
the Red Sea as written in the Septuagint. The
dictionary surmses that the name was derived
from the red western mountains, red coral
zoephytes, ETC., and appears to give but little
weight to the real and natural reason which
came under our American notice. On one oc-
casion the diver observed while under the Sea,
that the curious wavering shadows which cross
the lustrous golden floor like Frauenhoffer's
line on the spectrum began to change and lose
themselves. A purple glory of intermingled
colors darkened the violet curtains of the sea
chambers reddening glints and tinges with an
angry fire. Instead of that lustrous, golden
armament, thallassphere darkened to crimson
and opal. The walls grew purple. the floor as
red as blood; the deep itself was purpled with
the vinous hue of deoxidized life currents
The view on the surface was even more mag
nificent The sea at first assumed the light
tawny or yellowisn red of sherry wine. Anon
this wine color grew indistinct with richer ra-
dance as far as the eye could see, and fash
ing in the chrystaliue splendor of the Arabian
sun, was glorious sea of rose. The dusky
red sandstone hills, with border of white
sand and green and dowered foliage, like an
elaborately wrought cup of Bohemian glass en-
ameled with brilliant flowers, held the spark
ling liquid petals of that rosy sea. The surface,
on examination. proved to be covered with
thin brick dust layer of infusoria slightly tinged
with orange Placed in white glass bottle,
this changed into violet, but the wide surface
was that of magnificent and brilliant rose
color 1t was new and pleasing example OF
the lustrous. ever varying beauty of the ocean
world. 1t was caused by diatomacee, minute
alga which, under the microscope revealed
delicate threads gathered in tiny bundles, and
containing rings, like blood disks of that curious
soloring matter in tiny tubes.

SCREWS IN PLASTER WALLs.-When we
try to fasten brackets, strips of wood, etc., to
plaster walls by means of screws. it is often
found impossible to make screws hold firmly.
When we turn them in, the plaster breaks out
and our labor is in vain And yet screw well
set into plaster will hold very firmly. The
best plan is to enlarge the hole to about twice
the diameter of the screw, fill it with plaster
of Paris, such as is used for fastening the tops
of lamps, etc., and bed the screw In the SOIL
plaster. When the plaster has set, the screw
will be held very strongly.

4 WORD TO BoYs.-A word or two with
YOU. In short time you will be men Try
and be good men. Not longfaced, whining,
sanctimonous church dead heads, but good
sauare men. Not sneaks, drunkards or hang
ers on the skirts of others; but out and out
men of individual ideas. Do not aim to be
politicians, for as lot they are set of poor
devils, too lazy to work and not smart enough
to beg. Work out your own ideas. Don't 60
to sleep in the old ruts to be run over by men
of energy when they come tearing along. Learn
TO RELY upon Yourselves. Don't run your legs
off after girls. Stick to your business and be
straightforward, reliable. industrious, and right
up and down in all business affairs, like an old
fashioned saw, and girls will run after, and
catch you. too. Keep away from saloons 1t
You would save your health and money. If you
attend church to go home with the girls, don't
stand out of doors till you catch the epi<ootic;
but go in and toast your ungodly shins by the
fire; join in the chorus, be ready to march as
soon as the benediction has been pronounced,
then make for the very sweetest bird in the
bush. If you love girl and want to marry
her. don't grin like horse collar; wrinkle your
nose. bite wart on your little finger, and back
into it like baby into kettle of hot mush,
but ask like man. Start in business before
you are old enough to be grand-daddy. Find
ont early in life if you are fit for anything, wear
your suspenders crossed behind, have mind
of your own, stick to your shop when you have
one to stick to, and in ten years you will be on
the sure road to fortune, and the great work
of life becomes easier after that. If you feel
like writing for newspaper write for this one.
Ask whatever question you WILL Tell US how
you are getting along. Don't stay at home till
you sour, but get out in the world and stretch
your legs Pitch IN, and in nine times out OF
ten you will succeed. Hang back and the world
will move away from you But. then, all Amer.
lean boys know that.-Er. paper. Il

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
rc11pp1Nos FROM OUR EXCHANGES. ]

(C1IPPIN0s FROM OUR ExoHAN0Es.
THE Vermont Farmer says: Mr.. Emery, Of
Worcester, after trying several ways Of feed
ing horses, has settled Down on the following:
He feeds whole hay with six quarts of bran
and corn meal, half and half, twice day, wet,
He has fed so for the last year. His horses
look finely, and he works them hard, but atthe
same time he is careful man with team.
He intends to have them fed at stated times,
once in twelve hours. This is much better
than feeding meal alone, as the coarse bran
separates the particles of meal and prevents
it's packing so hard as it otherwise would IN
the stomach of the horse; but even this is not
q safe way with all horses. The concentrated
food should be more divided with coarse fod-
der. The omnibus lines in cities have had OK.
perience on large scale, and find the only way
is to feed meal, or meal and bran, mixed with
about an equal weight of cut hay or straw.
This gives abundance of strong feed, and also
bulk, leaving the contents of the stomach in
porous condition, 20 that the gastric juice can
circulate freely through the mass, and come in
contact with every portion at once. Feeding
concentrated food to horses without admixture
with coarse fodder is the fruitful cause of stom-
ach complaints, colics, indammations, blind
staggers. etc. We have known many horses
lost by feeding meal alone, or meal with smell
quantity of bran.

GUANo NOT THE EXCITEMENT OF SEA-BIRD.
The long received opinion that guano is the
deposit of myriads of sea-birds, accumulating
through long ages, is rendered untenable by the
recent investigation of DR.. Habel After treat
ing the guano with an acid, microscopical and
chemical, examination that the insoluble resi-
due was composed Of fossil sponges and other
marine animals and plants precisely in consti
tuition to such as still exist in those seas Inc
fact that the anchors of ships in the neignoor'
hood Of the guano islands, often bring up guano
from the bottom OF the ocean, Is quite IN oppo-
sition to the prevalent belief DR.. Habel there.
fore considers that the deposit Of guano must
be the result Of the accumulation Of fossil plants
and animals whose organic matter has been
transformed into heterogeneous substance, tne
mineral portion remaining intact.

The DANGER OF SEDATIvEs.-The Popu-
lar Science Monthly gives this warning on the
important matter of using sedatives for the
little ones:
One of the great dangers attending the use
of various sedatives employed in the nursery,
is that they tend to produce the opium habit.
These quack medicines owe their soothing and
quieting effects to the action of opium, and the
infant is by them given morbid appetite for
narcotic stimulants. The offer for sale OF
such nostrums should be prohibited, as tending
to the physical and moral deterioration Of the
race. In India mothers give to their infants
sugar-pills containing opium, and the result is
languid, sensual race of hopeless debauchees.
In the United States the poisonous dose is ad-
ministered under another name; but the con-
sequences will probably be the same.

Do You WISH TO SUCCEED ?-Young men,
do you wish to succeed in your undertakingsg
There is law of success, and it is certain in
it's results We care not who you are, what
have been your opportunities, how you are sit
uated in life, success is yours if you are reso-
lutely determined to follow it's laws. We care
not whether you are farmers, mechanics, or
laborers; sons of rich men or poor men; with
friends or without friends; you can succeed ii
you are willing to work for it. Without en-
terprise, perseverance, and patient effort, life
will be failure and no genius, no brilliant op-
portunities can save you.
But first of all you must accept and proftby
this fact; without knowledge you can do moth
ing we'll This is the first step, but not the
final one The true path to success lies be-
tween knowledge and enthusiasm. Without
enthusiasm you will attempt nothing, without
knowledge you cannot succeed in what you at
tempt Combine both in your service, and you
can accomplish anything. College Journal.
