table, with pen in hand, directly in front of
the observer, and with head raised, his ewes
searched you with a rapid comprehensive
glance, which gave to them most life like
expression. Two years ag the portrait of
highly esteemed and handsome Countess,
in elegant full dress costume, with rich
fur cloak hanging from her shoulders, OBJ
tanned for Carolus Duran, the medaille
d'honneur, the highest prize within the
joint gift of artists. The portrait of
Leland Stanford, Jr., is beautiful and ex-
pressive, with an earnest inquiring look IN
his eyes, belonging to his tender years. He
is dressed in suit of blue, the thumb of
his left hand carelessly placed in his jacket
pocket, while in his right hand he holds
his hat and cane. There is a certain grace
in the pose, a certain sweetness IN the ex-
preston of the features which immediately
excites admiration, and the artist has found
traits of the face and individuality of man
ner which enhance the interest of the sub
ject. The figure is admirably set off by
one of those rich heavy crimson curtains,
such as Carolus Duran knows SO well how
to paint, and the entire portrait, which is at
the same time more finished than the gen.
eralitY of this artists work, is beautifully
life. like and expressive.
All lovers of art will certainly rejoice
over this new acquisition of portrait
treasures to California, which will aid in
forming the tastes OF home artists.

BOY, GET A REVOLVER.

Boy if you have an opportunity to trade
your mothers jewelry, your fathers Sun
day boots, your clothes, your personal
property, or, in fact, anything you can get
your hooks " on for a revolver, you should
do it at once, for you can't possiblyg get along
without one-a self cooking Bulldog" is
the best to get, for with that you may
send yourself to eternity before you do any
one else. There is something romantic
about carrying revolver. 1t has a ten
dency to make people suppose you are
" Lop. cared Dick, !" So Coyote Bill" "Cuss
from Sugar Creek" Slumgullion from
Bitter Creek" "Bad Man from Bodie, .
or some other noted "cuss or dime
novel hero. Until the people of the
community come to look upon you in
this light, you don't amount to much.
People won't be afraid of you if you have
but one revolver. Get another as soon as
possible. Get half dozen if you can, and
inform all of your friends you are B ADJ
Some day some man will come along with
a double barreled shotgun, with about six
teen buckshot in each barrel, and perforate
YOU in such manner that you would do
to sift sand throu gh for building purposes.
Then your friends will hire a Chinaman to
hunt around and gather up your remains,
and you will nave big funeral, and every
BODY will be glad of chance to attend it.
Thus you will die ssgloriously, y and your
name will go ringing down the ages as one
of the biggest dashed fools that ever dwelt
on this mundane sphere. On, yes you
need revolver. Il Mariposa Herald.

Agricultural Notes.

At recent sale of Shorthorns in England
belonging to Sir Wilfrid Lawson, prices tum-
bled in most unprecedented manner a
COW bought four years ago for 81, 500 went for
$3.50; another, bought at the Holker Hall
sale for So, OPS, was bought back for the Duke
Of Devonshire for $500; and third, whieh

The Texas Lire Stock Journal advises sheep
ranch men TO secure one bushel of cotton seed
per head, to be fed this winter in lieu Of hay,
which, owing to drought, they have not been
able to secure. The Journal says the seed
can be bought for ten cents per bushel, and
one bushel per head will be ample to feed
during the bad spells in winter.
Among recent inventions in this country
is the manufacture of barrels of pulped wood
One kind for fruit, -four and other dry sub
stances, and the other for oils, beef, pork and
liquids. They are so strong that they may
be dropped from wagon without harm.
Each barrel is made in one piece, of coarse
wood pulp, subjected to a pressure of 400
tons. and is light, strong and cheap.
This is how the French kill their poultry !:
They open the beak of the fowl, and with a
sharp-pointed, narrow bladed knife make an
incision at the back OF the roof of the mouth,
which divides the vertebra and causes instant
death, after which the fowls are hung up by
the legs. They will bleed perfectly, with no
Disagreement; picked while warm, and if
desired scalded. In this way the skin pre-
sents more natural appearance than when
scalded.
There is no greater destroyer of wood than
heat. When heated to q sufficient degree it
burns al lower temperature it chars, and
lower still, if still hot, slow combustion is
continually going on. Tar adds to heat and
hastens combustion. 1t is used to preserve
wood because it is thought to exclude water,
which to some extent it does; but water is
not near 30 great destroyer of wood as heat
is. Water, with a moderate heat, breeds
fungus, and this is wood destroyer also.

A Louisville girl made an engagement to
elope with young man whom her father
had forbidden to enter the house. The
plan was to ride In close carriage across
the line into Indiana, have the marriage
ceremony performed, and return to boldly
announce themselves husband and wife.
This was carried out as far az the start in
the carriage. Then the man kissed the
girl, and che found whisky on bis breath.
More than that, she judged his unusual
vivacity to be the result of slight intoxi-
cation. She at once declared the affair off.
As he would not turn back, she called a
policeman to her aid, got into another car
riage, and went home unmarried.

Is name familiar to great number of
Americans for although young in years
this artist enjoys the reputation of veterans
who have long battled in the war for fame.
In fact, no artist has ever obtained as many
houors at an early age as Carolus Duran.
These honors have been partly earned
through admirable portraits of his own
beautiful children, and it is easy to believe
that his paternal affection, for which he is
renowned and esteemed, lends greater
comprehension to the artists eye and a
more correct touch to his brush. 1t is not
therefore astonishing that fond parents
should appeal to him to transfer to canvas
the delicate features of their children, aud
on the occasion of each salon his child .por-
trait is as anxiouslylooked for as that of the
distinguished lady produced by his vigorous
brush. He is known specially as por-
trait painter, and the features of many
eminent persons have. been made familiar
to the public through his Interpretation.
His portrait of Emile de Girardin created
quite sensation at the salon some four

Training Heifers.

1t is an easy matter to train a heller to
stand quietly to be MIXED, but It is easier to
teach them to jump, kick and run. The way
to teach them to stand still is to require
them always to do so. If there is naught to
hinder wild heifer from running, and her
fears prompt her to run, she can and will
run. If she can not run, in short time she
loses her fear. and stands from habit; and
habit is one of the most powerful influences
in the world for either brute or man. If you
want to transform wild heifer into we'll
behaved, well-trained COW. you must be pa
tient and of good temper. Never strike her.
She must first of all get acquainted with you,
and learn that you will not hurt her. She
must learn not to fear you. II, in winter, it
is best to milk in the stable, make as little
fuss and as few alarming motions as possible;
handle her very gently. Be careful not to
pinch the tests. This is the great source of
trouble. a cow naturally wishes to be rid
OF her milk. She stands quietly until some
careless mixer has given squeeze that hurts,
when she kicks and runs. By allowing such
course few times, the habit will be con-
firmed. The best way to manage, if you
have no stable, is to have 8 well-fenced yard,
aud teach your heifers to stand for milking
in that; or next best. to tie them, using them
very quietly. No man or boy is fit to handle
animals unless he can cantrol them, and con-
troll himself Neither is it right to chastise
