The appropriations made for the seven
months are accounted for by the fact that the
fiscal wears of the different state institutions
expire at different times, and the heads of
the institutions are required to make reports
to the governor at the end of each fiscal
year. The committee has arranged it so as
to have the fiscal year of each institution
correspond with that of the state officers
which ends October 81. Quite an amount of
the money for this year has already been
drawn by the several institutions. The ap-
preparation for 1879 is a duplicate of the one
for 1878. The bill provides an appropriation
of $4,000 to relieve the debts of the south
ern prison, and 900 for necessary repairs.
The SIS, 900 asked for by the state university
is omitted from the bill. The bill was or
dered printed.
The appropriation bill having been re-
turned, the constitutional rule was sus-
pended and the bill read a second time.

The Space Travelled i'm Writing.

A rapid penman can write thirty words
in minute. To do this he must draw
his quill through space of rod-six-
teen feet and half. In forty minutes
his pen travels a furlong, and in five
hours and third mile. We make on
an average sixteen curves or turns of the
pen III writing each word. Writing
thirty words a minute, we must make
480 to each minute in an hour, 28, 300
in day Of only five hours, IA, 600, and
in year of 300 days, 43,2O0,OO0. The
man who made 100000 strokes with a
pen in a month was not at all remark
able. Many men, newspaper men for
instance, make 100000 Here we
have, in the aggregate, a mark 300
miles long, to be traced on paper by
each writer IN a year. In making each
letter OF the ordinary alphabet we must
make from three to seven strokes of the
pen-or an average of three and-a-half
to four.

The Oldest LAWYER.

A New York exchange says: "Prob-
ably the oldest lawyer in the world is the
Hon. Ebert Herring. He was born on
the 9Th of July, 1777, at Stratford, Ct,
thus making him SO years of age. He
was admitted to the bar in December,
1899, and made Judge in 1906. He
was the first Register ever appointed in
the State of New York. It was in his
office that the present eminent lawyer,
Charles O'Conor, studied law. He re-
members New York when it extended up
no further than what is now known as
Ann street, at present considered awful
ly far down. He says that in 1882 the
population of New York was estimated
between $4,000 and $4,000; now it is
over l, 100000. He remembers distinct
ly his association with Daniel Webster
and many other men distinguished in
their day and time above their fellows. +"

Paris and the Tourists There.

Paris continues to increase steadily in
favor with tourists. From statistics re-
Gently published it would appear that
during the year 1875 the number of tray
elers who came to Paris amounted to
SO, 500, of whom 374, 1888 were French
and 1873, 034 foreigners For 1875 the
number was 500, 303; French, 1862, 1913;
and foreigners, 1880 For 1874 the
number was 458.696; French, 334, 1888;
and foreigners, 1913, 1913. Thus, taking the
population of France in round numbers
at 38,000,000, and deducting 100000
for the population of Paris, it will be seen
that during the past year the proportion
of provincial Frenchmen who saw the
capital was rather more than one out of
a hundred men, women and children
say one grown-up male out of twenty
five. It would be interesting to know
how much money was spent by the half
million of travellers for business or
pleasure. IF they disbursed 100 francs
apiece, they must have put so, 000,0
into the pockets of Parisians; If 1000
francs apiece, EGO, 100000.

Jews ReBeODling Palestine.

Mr.. Neil shows that the population of
Palestine is double what it was ten years
ago, the newcomers being Jews, and
chiefly from Russia. Three years ago
such an influx took place to Saphed, one
Of the four holy cities in Galilee, that
there were no houses to receive the i'm
migrants, and many had to camp out A
plot of ground near Jerusalem was sold
for twenty times it's former price. Build
ing goes on by night as we'll as day.
Two little colonies have settled just out
side Jaffa gate.
The real causes Of this migration are,
first, that only recently could Jew own
land in Palestine without becoming a
Turkish subject; and, secondly, the
new law in Russia 1874) by which all
Jews must be enrolled for military SER
vice. It is probable that Russia, until
recently, contained one-third of the Jew
ISL race and, just as they begin to feel
the pressure of these military demands
upon them, albeit these mean their re-
Lief from some previous burdens, they
find the old expressions OF the "Second
Woe D Gas they used to call the Turkish
rule which shut them up in one wretched
quarter Of Jerusalem) removed to a large
extent.
But it is evident that a large proper
ton OF the new emigrants to Palestine
are animated by religious enthusiasm.
This is shared by Christian enthusiasts
also, as is particularly the case with a
German colony there known as the Hoff-
NANTES, their leader being a DIR. Hoff-
man, but calling themselves the $50
clety of the Temple" They are about a
thousand, mostly from Nuremberg,
and have branches at Jerusalem. Jaffa
and Haiffa, where they are industrious
mechanics and tradesmen, and greatly
promote the welfare of the country
This society seems to have some Jewish
proselytes, which have probably been
obtained through their not maintaining
the Christian sacraments or symbols,
and by their refusal to join in any mis-
slonary work. They believe that they
are fulfilling prophecy by simply pro-
noting the prosperity Of Palestine, and
living moral and benevolent lives.
Of course the jealous missionary. Mr.
Neil, regards all such facts as mere Sec
ondary agents in the divine plan, with
which plan he is obviously familiar.
Six thousand years Of prevailing evil are
to be now followed by a millennium of
100000 literal years. Cincinnati Ga

A Cool Proposition.

The following letter from the guard,
who has charge of Anderson, shows the
filial respect and consideration which the
young murderer has for his aged father.
He wants the old man to take his place
on the gallows, and offers to reward him
for the self-sacrifcing act. The old man
would like to help his boy, but thought of
Steve's offer, although fattering, che
couldn't see it jess yet" The following
is the guards letter:
AIKEN, S. c., March 6.-Anderson, one of
the Hausmann murderers, who is to be hanged
on the 18th of this month"; sent for his father
the other day, and made a proposition to the
gray-halred man. now verging on 70 years of
age. The son told the old man that he was
young and was to hang on the 18th of this
month. "You is old, dad, and will soon lebe
dis land den THAR will not be any one is dis
world to look after moder. Now, dad, if you
will hang in my place will give you $50 and
my mule" The old man hesitated moment
and scratched his head. The son, thinking he
was about to take him up, added an additional
$50 by the way of clincher.
The old man in the meantime had collected
his senses, got control Of his tongue and in
formed his anxious young hopeful:
1.-The mule and de money was powerful
conducement, but dis old niger scaped de
rope dis far, and he could not jess see how de

Fighting With a Grizzly Bear.

Last week Mr.. Walpole, of Lassen
county, started out early in the morning
to visit deer lick. He had his rifle,
bowie knife, and large deer hound.
On crossing a deep canon he espied a
huge grizzly about fifty or seventy-five
yards off. He pulled up and blazed
away, but he onl y wounded the monster.
and before he had time to reload his
rifle the bear was close upon him. Mr..
Walpole hit him on the head with the
butt Of his rifle, and his bearship dealt
him one on the shoulder that paralyzed
him for a second. Mr.. Walpole drew
his bowie knife and planted it deep in
the beasts breast. This only enraged
the animal still more, and, Selling his de-
stroyer in his powerful arms, he gave him
an embrace that rendered him totally un-
conscious. He lay where the bear had
dropped him until late in the afternoon,
when a neighbor was attracted to the
spot. The bear was found not far of
dead as door-nail. He measured eleven
feet in length and weighed in the neigh.
borhood OF l 400 pounds. Mr.. Walpole,
although badly bruised, is not seriously
injured. California Mountain Mes
