Testing the Cider.
[From the Detroit Free press.1

Yesterday afternoon a farmer,
having barrel of cider on tap In
his wagon, was doing fine retail
business near the market at five
cents por glass, when a man with a
very thin voice and very old
clothes softly advanced and said:
''Has the State Inspector of Po-
mological Juices inspected that
cider yet?p
sI-I guess not" replied the
farmer, greatly embarrassed in a
moment.
"I thought not,u continued the
thin-voiced man; "well sir, you
can draw me full glass;
The farmer drew one, scanning
the man with considerable anxiety,
and when the "Inspector" had re-
ceived it he held II up between his
eye and the sun, and said:
"The precipitation appears most
too rapid, while these floating par.
ticles denote unusual depression.
Perhaps second glass will be
clearer
He swallowed the contents of the
first at exactly four gulps, and talk
ing a second glass, he critically ex.
amined it and said:
"Ah! The precipitation is clear.
Ing away. This cider seems to have
been made from apples"
1t was, sir, and they were nice
apples, too," replied the farmer.
Let's see how third glass
will look. 1 am not quite satisfied
on the point of compression"
He drained the second and re-
ceived the third, and as he slipped 1t
he inquired:
"You used hand cider press,
didn't you?"
"Yes, SIR"
Cab! 1 thought so. Worked
with a lever, didn't it.
"Yes, SIR"
ibid the mill stand in q draught
of air while you were working it ?"
"I-I-don't know, SIR"
swell, I think 1t did. Be lit
tie more careful after this. The In
apector of the Pathological Juices
grades this barrel "A No. q but II
you take a little more pains you
can increase the grade every time
in the future. All right, slr-go on
with your selling"
The man had been gone ten min
utes before any one mustered cour-
age to remark that he was fraud.
81 know he's all right" persist
ed the farmer. The minnit see
him draw his coat tail around to
wipe out the corner of his mouth
knew he was "a big gun, and was
just shivering in my boots for fear
he'd ask me why didn't punch
the seeds out of the apples before
grinding"

Mr.. 0. H. Bliss returned from
the sespe oil region yesterday
morning. He tells pleasant things
of the well OF the Los Angeles OIL
Company. Capt. Roberts has again
put his machinery In place, the fire
is an incident of the past, and the
future is full of promise.
At twelve o'clock noon on
Wednesday the we'll began to
squirt out o superb stream of
oil, amounting to eighty barrels
in six hours. The mass of expert
opinion Is that this is reliable
hundred barrel we'll. As citizens
of Los Angeles are the principal
stockholders in this venture, 1T
gives us special pleasure to
chronicle their good fortune.
Petroleum as an illuminator
already plays an important
part In the economy OF the
worlds daily life, but petroleum
as fuel for manufactures is now
coming on the stage, which iact
enhances the value of the San Fer
nando and Sespe deposits.
Though the election in Tucson
passed off quietly and without un-
usual noise or disturbance, in some
of the outside precincts the case
was different. At Tubac a man
named Buck, who for some time
has been in the employ of the Aztec
Company as teamster. was shot
and killed by John Strobe for
maintaining little too strongly
that K. s. Woolsey was the only
man fit to represent Arizona. AT
the Placers ia the Santa Ritas,
where the henchmen of Campbell
freely distributed whisky and mes.
cal, times were lively, though no
serious injury resulted to any one.
When o promsnent citizen of that
section was asked how the election
passed off, he replied: "Finest
time in the world! Free Campbell
whisky, lighting all around, and
the biggest kind of a baile running
all day."-Arizona Citizen.
Ii there is one man who can
stand being elected to the Council
with the equanimity of philoso'
pher, it is ex-Councilman J. Kuhrts.
What he don't know about our
municipal affairs it is useless to try
to learn. He is not as old q resi-
dent OF this section as Don Juan
Warner, but he dates away back.
Ex-Councilman Kuhrts was one of
Commodore Perry's expeditionary
force to Japan, and he has been in
his time as good a sailor as he after
wards approved himself to be trust
worthy in the "City Dad" line.
For the Information Of the ladies
we may state that he is the most
thoroughly tattooed man of our ac-
quaintance. India ink claims him
forits own. But then his soul, po-
litically, especially in municipal
politics, Is free from guile.
For the third time the Empress
Eugenie has announced it to be
her purpose to come and settle at
Santa Monica. This time the an
nouncement is coupled with the
determination to purchase Captain
Wilcoy's steam yacht and to marry
the Prince Imperial to Los An
geles belle. The Princess Tbyra. OF
Denmark, will therefore consider
her nose out of joint. The Prince
Imperial will hereafter be sour
grapes for her.

When woman is spoken of as
possee, she has mostly but herself
to blame. 1t is only the actor who
tries to play "Hamle" that can
fail as "Hamlet." 1t Is only the
woman who endeavors to elude the
Inevitable trace Of the swiftly-pass-
Ing years on whom the years bit
terly avenge themselves. 1T Is only
when the mothers of adult daugh-
ters go out of their way to challenge
comparison with their daughters
that this comparison is made to
their disadvantage.

When pins were first introduced
into use they were very expensive,
and only attainable by the rich. So
precious were they considered to
be, that the maker was only al
lowed to sell them two days in the
year. Owing to these circum-
stances, the custom arose for hus.
bands to give their wives money
for the purchase Of pins. and hence
the term "pin money" was applied
"a term which is still used when
speaking of the money allowed by
husband for the wife's private
expenditure.
