HUMBOLDT IN LINE.

The visit of Acknowledgement Muir
ply and State Controller Hallock, re-
Gently made to the Eastern part of the
State, has produced its good effect in
Humboldt county. From $4,000, the
figures given by the Central Pacific
Railroad bosses, the assessment has
been raised to $4,000 per mile on the
portion of the road running through
that county. This has business look
about it. Monday next has been fixed
as the day for hearing of the matter
by Humboldt county's Board of Equali-
zation. About this time Steve Cages

The 3IethOdiStS in London.

Such high authority as the London
Times designates the Methodist Ecu
menical Conference in London last week
as the most important meeting of that
denomination of Christians since the
days OF Wesley. The vastness of the
Methodist membership is such that the
meeting of four hundred Methodist
delegates from all parts of the world
must deeply interest great part Of the
civilized inhabitants of the globe. There
are % branches of the Methodist
Church, their aggregate membership
being 1850, $50 persons, of whom 3, 521-,
600 are in America. Half of the 400 del-
egates who met in London last week
are from this side of the Atlantic. The
interest will therefore be very great
throughout the United States in the
proceedings of conference in London.
The body will have no legislative func
ton, but will be in reality what it is in
name, a conference of Methodists from
all parts of the world. The association
of the distinguished men may do much
to promote movement toward the Or
ganic union Of the % branches of the
denomination. The increase of Metho-
dists from 5000 to almost one hundred
times that number during the last hum
dred years. indicate progress which
may well fill with rejoicing the Metho-
dists who are assembled in London,
with Lord Mayor to preside at their
opening meeting.

Dennis Kearney, according to the

discontinue his sand-lot speeches until
he RECEIVERS from his sore throat. If re-
port speaks true, Dennis has made the

are that we shall not again hear of him
as an agitator and that he will only be
mentioned as a capitalist. He has de-
ferred his European tour till his new

An Observant contemporary notes
that whenever a newspaper says kind
word of man, that man never dis
covers the favor; but if a newspaper
handles man little roughly, the man
finds it out by o'clock the next morn
ing. This is the kind of a man who
when comforting with the editor upon
his grievances, says that his "attention
had been called to the article in ques-
ton"

In Jessamine county, KY, a Nan by
the name of Bowen would never enter his
house except by the back door, and
never leave except by the front. He
selected early in life the spot for his
burial, beneath an old oak tree, remote
from all other graves, in an open field,
and there was buried. Mr.. Mackey Dun
can, of the same county, whose occupa-
ton, that of carpenter, is altogether
unfavora5le to the pursuit Of knowledge,
is one of the most learned men, after a
fashion, in America. He knows the date
of every important event in the worlds
history, year. month and day, and, when
essential, the minute. His knowledge OF
the family history of all prominent peo-
pie is something marvellous.

BR1eHr.s DISEASE AND Ice WATER.

The idea has been advanced tnat Bright S
disease is attributable to the immoderate
use of ice water and cold drinks, the fact
being cited that the people of this coun-
try use 80 per cent. more ice in drinks
than the people of any other country
cepted-and that we have rs per cent.
more Of Brights disease. The wine
drinking countries of Europe are said to
be comparatively free from the malady,
while in America the progress of the dis
ease, it is asserted, has kept pace with
the increased consumption of ice.

American Glass Making.

The first glass factory in America
was erected in 1909, near jamestown.
Va, and the second followed in the
same colony twelve years later. In
1889 some acres of ground were
granted to glassmen in Salem, Mass u,
probably the first year of the indus
try which was prosecuted there for
many years. The first glass factory
in Pennsylvania was built near Phil
adelphia in 1888, unde: the direction
of VIM. Penn, but did not prove sue
cesSful. The first glass factory west
Of the Alleghenies was set up by
Albert Gallatin and his associates in
1855, at New Geneva. on the M0non-
gahela river. A small factory was
established on the Ohio river, near
Pittsburg, in 1893, and another in
1875. The earlier attempt failed, the
later was quite successful. In 1910
there were twenty-five glass factories
i'm the country, with an annual pro-
duct valued ut ST .047 900. There are
now about five times rs many factO-
ries, producing eight times as much
glass. According to the returns re-
ceived under the recent census, our
flint glass factories turn out 2l0,554
tons of table and other glass-ware;
and the window glass works produce
1914 ,440 boxes. The total value of
the product is nearly $s45, $50, 0O0.-

ShOrfhorms for Reef aud MIR.

The Agricultural Gazette, England,
in a review of all the different breeds
of cattle in Great Britain and the
Channel Islands, estimates the cows
and heifers at 2,250,0O0. After CLAN.
cling at the twenty different breeds,
the Gazette comes to the following
conclusion: 1t is the great merit of
the Shorthorn that it holds the fore.
most rank in both classes. The eX.
ceptional aptitude of the cows of this
breed to lay on flesh whenever,
whether Ivy accident or by age, they
have become no longer adapted for
the dairy, is very great addition in
the eyes of the dairy farmer to their
merit as IA mere milk producer. In
consequence of this, Shorthorn cattle
which early in the century only Occu.
pied few narrow districts of Eng
land, have now spread over the whole
country wherever moderately good,
pastures abound.
American breeders have alMaysl
had the good sense to take the same
view on this question rs the English;
but in the western states they have
hitherto paid more attention to the
meat than to the dairy qualities Of
their Shorthorns. In this point, how.
ever. salutary change seems to be
taking place; for Mr.. Allen. in his
circular for the next volume (the 2Oth)
