Mr. John Grattan, California
farmer, has lately adopted a somewhat
novel methodof clearing raw tule lands.
1t costs about five dollars the acre to
break up such lands, and then it re-
quires months for the coarse vegetable
matter to decay and leave the soil in o
good condition for the reception Of
seed. To avoid all this delay, as well
as lessen the expense, Mr.. Grattan pur-
chased a quantity of kerosene oil and
used this to set fire to the sod. He
made small holes with his boot heel
ever, few feet, filed these with kero-
Isene and set it on fire. In this way he
succeeded IN burning over a large tract
of land, and leaving it in such con-
dition that by little narrowing it was
ready for the reception of almost any
kind of seed. At the present price Of
crude petroleum or the refined oil,
eith,.r might be proftably employed in
burning over many an old sod filed
with nOxiOus weeds and insects, which
it wo Id kill out, beside putting the
land in good condition for crops.

What MustaeheI

AYOUNG man and his girl sat near
the front at Burdette's lecture, the
other evening. The young man car
ried his head on one side, it being
forced into that position by the weight
of half a very tender mustache, which
was composed Of seven hairs upon one
side and eleven upon the other side Of
his nose. When the HGaOk-Eye man
had Just finished convulsing his hear
ers with an account of a youths first
shaving encounter with barber, the
young man leaned over to his girl, and
whispered:
That's true to life, l can tell you. ="
"How can you tell meF" inquired
his girl.
"HowP" he repeated, in a Whisper
"why, by experience that's just the
way felt when first got shaved"
"When was thatp" she asked.
"Oh, before 1 raised my mustache, -"
he returned.
What mustacheP'' she queried. a
little surprised.
What mustache do you supposeF"
he retorted. turning red.
"Why, Charlie, " whispered the girl,
al never saw any mustache. DO you
mean"
"Never mind what mean" hissed
the young man, between his olenched
teeth. And he stared very hard at the
lecturer all the rest of the evening, but
somehow couldn't see anything to
laugh at. Sunday night he went to
see new girl. IN "

A COId.BicO Oded Murderer.

There was recently confined in a
police station in Chicago mani named
S. D. Richards, who has been guilty Of
several cOld-blooded murders, and who
converses freely, and without any ap-
parent compunctions of conscience,
about his atrocious deeds. He has
roamed Ground over the country for the
past two or three years, and in that
period has killed six persons. He is
only about twenty-three years of age,
and talks of. his crimes with all the
nonchalance that man would who had
destroyed q few rats. He does not talk
boastingly. or like d desperado, but
coolly and calmly SIS if his deeds were
matter of very little importance. When
asked what induced him to murder the
Harrelsop family, and whether there
was any quarrel, he replied: n
"Never had a cross word with the
woman in my life"
"Then what on earth tempted you to
do such thing?"
"Well,'' said the murderer, smiling
ly, g. have not made any statement as
yet as 10 why did it, and that's all ]
have to say as to that"
"Do you feel bad about it now when
you think of itP Does your conscience
trouble you about killing those young
''hildren and their mOtherP"
Richards looked at his questiOner -
calmly as if he had been asked about
the killing of rat. mo, not bit. ="
he replied, I" l don't feel bad about any
thing ever did in my life I've never
lost nights rest yet about that or
anything else" ...
The Chicago Tribune reports a
lengthy conversation with this monster,
from which we make the following ex-
tract:
