What Hot Water will Do.

A gentleman who is in business in
this city has cured himselfOfa chronic
and ugly form of dyspepsia in very
simple way. He was given up 10 die;
but he finally abandoned, alike the
doctos and the drugs, and resorted
to method of treatment which most
doctors, and most persons, would
laugh at as ian old woman's reme-
dy." 1t was simply the swallowing
of teacupful Of hot water, before
breakfast every morning. He took
the water from the cooks teakettle,
and so hot. that he could only take
it by the spoonful. For about three
weeks this morning dose was repeat
ed; the dyspepsia decreasing all the
W lille At the end of that time he
could eat, he says, any breakfast or
dinner that any well person could
eat--had gained in weight, and has
ever since been hearty and well. His
weight is now between thirty and
forty pounds greater than it was dur
ing his dyspepsia sufferlngs; and for
several years he has had no trouble
with his stomach unless it was some
temporary inconvenience due to a
late supper or dining-out, and in such
case single trial Of his nte-break-
fast remedy was sure to set all things
right. He obtained his idea from a
German doctor, and in turn recon-
mended it to others-and i'm every
case, according to his gentleman's ac-
c0unt, cure was effected.-H0T5ford

Revision of the Old Testament.

The work of revising the Old Testa-
ment is approaching conclusion. The
Dean of Peterborough, one of the
English Company of Revisers, in a
recent address, referring to the reyi.
sion, said, there was number of little
questions cropping up which could
not be decided at once, and were re-
served for further consideration. One
of these was, whether they were to
render the sacred name of God in the
Old Testament by "Jehoyah" or
Lord" That question gave them
a great deal of anxiety, and was not
yet decided. Questions of that sort
they were obliged to reserve, because
if any alteration was made, the
change, though it might re deslr-
able one, would be so great and i'm
portant that they ought to be very
careful to consider it, and not to do it
hastily by mere majority. When
they looked at the revision of the
New Testament they would ind that
not only were there a great many
changes in the translation, but they
would find that many verses had dis
appeared altogether. They would not
lind 1t so in the Old Testament.

WHAT O'CLOCK?

There is not generally clear comprehen.
sion of the scheme to establish a new
standard of time. As we reckon the hours
of the day now, we involve ourselves in
much unnecessary trouble. The division
of the day into forenoon and afternoon is
all wrong-a relic of the age when men
knew no better. 1t would be much more
sensible to number, as is proposed, the
hours from one to twenty-four. 1t would,
for time, sound oddly to speak of twenty
two o'clock, but it is just as euphonious as
to use the words ten o'clock P NJ. Some
have proposed to letter the hours with
twenty four letters OF the alphabet, but it
is objected that the household and the
town clock cannot strike "B or &C "
o'clock. Sanford Fleming sent out last
year 200 letters OF inquiry to railroad men
and scientists on the subject. Their replies
almost uniformly confessed the inconve.
nience Of the present system, nearly all op-
posed the letter plan, and the majority
agreed that to number from ! to "a is ad.
visable.
With regard to STANDARD time a
most interesting development is taking
place, For ten years Professor Barnard,
of Columbia College, has been agitating
the question, as President of the Ameri.
can Meteorological Society. The desira.
bility of some universally recognized sys.
tenn for regulating the divisions of the day,
he says, has long been felt, and is not now
Questioned. In the railway service uni.
form time is OF the highest Importance.
Some of the lines extend over several di.
visions of longitude, and, as a result, the
termini time being used, there is wide
difference between depot" and town q"
time. This inconvenience all have expert.

adopted, and is to go into effect on the

CoLUsA COUNTY. The Willows Journal
man grows enthusiastic over the future of
Colusa county
There is not county in any of the Pa
cifc States and Territories that has more
promising future than Coluss. Without
irrigation, it has ever been one of the
greatest wheat producing counties in the
Ssate-with the advantages of irrigation it
will certainly take the lead in this respect.
There can be no better quality of sgri-
cultural land found anywhere. It will
produce with any land in the United
States, both as to quality and quantity of
wheat. With irrigation it is capable of
yielding most any kind of crop, such as
wheat, barley, oats, corn, alfalfa, grapes,
fruits of all kinds and all varieties of vege-
tables. A few years ago there was a very
large proportion of the land that to-day is
being utilized that was not regarded worth
the money necessary for building upon it.
Some of this land is among the most valu-
able in Colusa county o.day. A few years
ago man with field glass of strong mag
nifying power could climb the loftiest
eminence in the coast range mountains
and see nothing in the shape of house on
all the plains, extending from Stony Greek
south as far as Williams and east from the
base of the coast range to the Sacramento
river. To-day these plains are not only
dotted all over with comfortable farm
homes, but possess numerous towns, the
support of which comes from the very land
that, a few years ago, was not considered
worth the time and the little money neces.
sary to be expended in settling upon it.

A VIGOROUS OFFICIAL.

We admire the vigor of Pension Commits.
sioner Dudley. He has resolved to unearth
the pension frauds and to punish the Of
tenders, and Secretary Teller gives him
hearty support. For instance, a. B.
Webb, of Washington, a pension claim at
torney and agent, issued circular to his
clients, declaring that " the Pension
Bureau threatens TO notify parties who
have incomplete claims that cases will be
rejected if the proofs are not furnished
within a reasonable time after being go
notified" Mr.. Dudley called on Webb to
explain. He replied that it was due to an
error of his clerk. Mr.. Dudley responded
to him that not only was the circular false,
but SO was the explanation, and showed
that Webb had clipped the sentence from
the circular of Milo B. Stevens & Co., who
were suspended for irregularities. Webb
also issued circular to clients saying that
s. desertion is no bar to pension" To this
Mr.. Dudley replied "This statement is
false and deluslve, and can only have the
effect to induce that class of soldiers to ap-
ply for pension to which they are not en-
titled" The Commissioner followed up
the shot with the proof that Webb had
presented false claims for soldiers who in
fact saw all their service in the rebel army.
1t was proven also that Webb, by false
pretenses, extorted money from Mary
Newell, pensioner, and attempted it with
Ellen Buchanan, the mother of soldier.
On these facts being reported, Secretary
Teller disbarred Webb; his large business
is closed, and he goes forth branded as
dishonest. This is but one of nearly
score of cases in which the " crooked are
being punished by fearless Government
official who is determined to purify his de-
partment

Greenwich, and pass through New Or
leans. The four.hour meridian, crossing
the Island Of Newfoundland, will give
what may be called Eastern time to the
British possessions east of Canada. The
five.hour meridian passes near New York,
and gives Atlantic time for the States
on the Atlantic and the two Canadas.
The six.hour meridian, including the Mis-
sissippi Valley, gives valley time ) the
seven.hour meridian, which passes near
Pixies Peak, gives mountain time,' and
the eight-hour meridian gives Pacific
time.' The boundary lines between the
successive meridians, at which the count
of the hour shall change, it is not proposed
to define with the same geometrical pre-
cision which characterizes the meridians
themselves"
Still another proposition is to establish
a universal meridian for measurement of
standard time. As we now calculate, the
lst OF December on the other side of the
globe may be November 30th in part on
this side. So, too, the Europeans may at a
given time be living in the year 1884. while
we Enger in 1888. The plan is to fix a
line at which one day shall end and another
begin. For this purpose Professor Bar.
nard proposes the lS0th degree from Green.
wich, as it runs where fewest people live,
and the division will thus incenve.
nience the least number. 1t passes
almost entirely its whole length in
the Pacific Ocean, touching only a
part of Kamschatka. The idea is to
base zero in this meridian $50 degrees from
Greenwich. This will be absolute or uni
versal time. Then the earth is to be di-
vided into "a time belts, Is degrees of
longitude, and one hour in time distant
from each other. Each belt will be known
by letter, zero being Z. Thus, the At.
lantic belt will be " r time " and the Mis-
sissippi valley belt will be g S time" But
this scheme has not yet received such ap-
proval as to make it likely that it will be
adopted by meteOrologists very soon. AS
one scientist puts it, "it is capital plan
for the millennium, but too perfect for the
present state of humanity"

THE proposition that all the counties shall club
together and make up purse to fee attorneys TO
carry the tax suit against the railroads up to
and through the Supreme Court is indefensibe.
The counties that have Of action not
interested and to call them to contribute to the
fund is unwarranted. The States law officers should
be able to present the States clearly. The case
was thoroughly argued below, and it is unlikely that
anything new can be presented. Whatever the
States right is, the Supreme Court is not likely to
overlook it The probabilities are that the ruling
in the Court below will be affirmed Certainly the
equities are on the side Of the railroads that are
taxed irregularly. The railroad companies, as we
understand it, do not resist payment Of their taxes
but they do resist injustice, inequality and extor-
tionate assessments laid against them.
