YESTERDAYS testimony before the Exodus
Invesh eating Committee goes long way to
prove that the entire emigration scheme has
been in the hands Of speculating agents who
have hoped to make an honest penny by 1t.
The most ridiculous representations were
made to the Ignorant colored people Of North
Carolina, and promises held forth that would
even have induced the more Intelligent white
people Of the Sonth to. leave that country
had the same tales been circulated among
them. It Is very certain that no Republican
politicians of prominence have been in any
way connected with the matter, and that the
political capital which the Democratic Con-
gressmen calculated upon making out Of it
will be exceedingly small. Were the tnvestt-
cation conducted entirely by Democrats,
from the character Of the questions put TO
witnesses, very plausible story might be
concocted, but in almost every instance the
cross examination puts new and very differ
ent phase upon the matter, and Leaves the
Democratic case weaker than ever. -

There are some other items, which swell
the Controllers estimate for appropriations
to s., ,5o3,6 ,6S2, The law Of 167o limits the rate
Of taxation to . per cent on the valuation Of
taxable property; another act takes taxation
by cities for schoo1-buildings, etc, out Of the
ordinnry objects OF municipal duties;
and the Constitution exempts taxation for in
terest on the public debt contracted before
August, 1910, from all limitation on taxes.
The amount Of tax which can be levied ul-
der the 3 per cent limitation is about S2,300,-
! coo. :DeductinG the special appropriations of
S61a, $50 for interest and S63a,960 for school
purposes-the two aggregating s1,253, 1eo-;
which are to be provided for byspecial leytes,
and allowing s5o90oo as the revenue from
miscellaneous subjects, there remains of the
Controllers esttmntes some s., ,840,49 to be
provided for By taxation The Controller,
however, estimates that an allowance must
be made for 10 per cent OF these taxes which
will not be collected, and he therefore adds
further estimate Of s1s3, $40 to cover that de-
heiency, making total OF $2oM,441 to be

Filtering Cistern Water.

Ex-Mayor Clymer, of Reading, Penn,
proposes the following, which is proba-
bly, the best cheap mode of fitting rain
water for drinking or culinary pur-
poses:
a. Pure fresh water in the West is Sc
cured the year round by their large and
admirable cisterns, built of brick and
Roman cement. In the center is placed
u brick chimney; in said chimney the
pump is placed. The water from the
top to the bottom of the cistern is con-
stantly filtering through the chimney to
supply the demands of the pump, and
this process keeps the water in the main
body of the cistern in a state of constant
agitation, thereby it is always sweet and
good. Every family can have pure wa
ter by filtering the rain of heaven from
their housetops, or by filtering the i'm
pure water from our water basins. :"
That "pure" or squire fresh" water
can thus be made from stagnant or
muddy cistern water, or that it can
equal the natural filtered fluids of our
best springs, constantly aerated and
bubbling, is improbable. But an ap-
Proclamation to it can be made. The
chimney should be filed at its bottom
at least a few inches, to raise it above
the sediment of the outer cistern. The
cistern should be cleaned once or twice
a year, and when it is empty, repeatedly
fill the chimney center with water TO
filter reUerSely, and cleanse the brick of
some portion of its accumulated filier-
filth If double chimney, with a few
inches or feet of space between them
were made, and this space filed with
charcoal or sand or gravel, and this fill
ing removed once in two to five years
and replaced by new clean filter-filling
it would help'to produce clearly drink.
The "constant agitation of a filter
must be very slow and slight; but if the
roof-supply surface is large and the
cistern outlet large and well guarded,
every Overlooking rain will agitate,
change and purify the cistern water
But in the great majority of cases these
precautions viii be neglected and grad
ually the family viii be led to imhibe
dirt, if not disease.-Cor. N. 7. TFI5aae.

The steamer City Of Pekin left San

The steamer City of Pekin left San
Francisco recently carrying eight hun
dred and fifty returning Cinnamon.
The sailing hour was fixed at 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon, and each of the eight hun
dred and fifty did his best to be first at
the gate of the wharf. To accomplish
this hundreds of them spent the previous
night on the vacant lots in the vicinity
and on or under the wagons loaded with
their baggage. At sunrise the gates OF
the wharf were opened and the crowd,
encountered with bundles of every con-
ceivable size and shape, tumbled in
pell-mell, those in the rear falling over
those who had lost their baggage and
their balance, until nearly the whole
mass was piled together on the floor in a
bowling, struggling heap. The officers
soon restored order and ranged the
Cinnamon along the side of the wharf,
where they stood for eight hours pa
tiently waiting to be allowed to board
the vessel. When the signal to board
was given the scenes of the morning
were repeated, and bundles, bedding,
trunks, and no end of hats went over
board as the crowd rushed up the mar
row gang-plank.

Training Cows.

Reading in recent issue the article
a. The Cow Intellectually" reminds me
of some instances which have occurred
within my own observation. In our
own herd of twelve COWS was one the
children called Betsy" who, as soon
as the mixers entered the yard with
pals, always came forward and placed
herself in position for her master to
milk, often following him around the
yard to where he chose to stop for that
purpose; and if to test her, as he often
did for the amusement of spectators,
he passed her by, seating himself at
another COW first, Betsy always came
forward and, instantly and decisively
pushing her away placed herself in
front of him. When in position she
would look around at him, as much as
to say, g am ready; me first"
A lady of our acquaintance, who is q
sweet singer, goes to the pasture bars
with her pals, sits down upon her
stool, and commences to sing Hymn
and Psalm tunes, hearing which the
cows lift up their heads, look, and pro-
coed Immediately to the place evident
ly expecting their mistress to sing as
she milks.
A feeble old gentleman whom we
know goes to his yard, and seating
himself in a good place, says Gomez
Cow No. comes and places herself in
position before him to be MIXED. When
the operation is completed, he says
go" She passes on to the stable and
takes her place in her stanchion
for the night. Then he calls No. 2, and
does the same
Another old gentleman takes ais din
ner-horn and blows blast or two to-
wards the pasture, when the COW comes
home directly, thus saving her master
a long tramp "going after the cow"
All these examples go to show that
cows are as capable of being trained as
any other domestic animal and that kind
treatment will accomplish, without any
trouble, what severe or cruel usage will
never effect, but only defeat.
l love to watch the boys "yoke the
oxen" (Which, by the way, are six-year
old bullocks,) putting the yoke upon
the neck of one; then, while holding it
with one hand, reaching out with the
bow in the other, saying, "Come on,
jeff" He sometimes shakes his head,
as much as to say, Il don't want tor
vet, upon a repetition of the command,
comes forward and bends his neck to be
yoked to his fellow. These boys taught
these bullocks, when two or three years
old. to allow them to fasten lines to the
tips of their horns, mount upon their
backs and gallop off, though never for
long distances They rode very easy,
with none of the tossing motion of
misunderstanding. One of them was fit
ted with single yoke and harness and
IS used successfully in a horse-rake to
cultivate potatoes and corn and has
frequently been hitched to the old fam
lily carriage and driven short distance,
