Support Your Home Paper.


"Do the city papers give you any
home news?" asks an exchange. "Do
they contain brief notices of YOU
schools. churches, meetings. improve
ments and hundreds Of other things of
interest, which the local paper pub.
fishes without pay! DO they say a
word calculated to draw attention to
your town and aid in the progress
and enterprise of your immediate
vicinity! Answer these questions,
and then determine for yourself
whether the city or local paper is de.
serving of your support first of ALL"
To the above plain, practical, home
interrogatories the Wheeling Journal.
a heightened, independent paper. thus
responds: sour exchange puts the
question with aptness and force. and
the Journal endorses all it says. The
people w their first support to their
local paper. that gives the current
events with merring regularity.
The country paper never should be
ignored for the metropolitan paper.
The farmer or mechanic should be-
gin with his local paper. If he feels
that he can afford it. then let him
send for the metropolitan paper, that
gives more and greater variety Of
news. But begin with your home
paper first. So far as the journal is
concerned it wants as many sub
scrihers as it can get. and promises Il
quid pro quo: but it does not want a
single subscriber at the sacrifice of a
local paper" Here is q magnanimity
that towers above selfishness. and we
hope it may have a salutary effect
upon the few of our town and vicin-
ity who have not yet subscribed for

thought he was fatally injured, being
unconscious for some time. The
horse struck his head with his hoof

The Press and Dakotaian says that
a startling discovery has been made
regarding the railroad taxation law,
passed near the close of the last SEES
sion OF the legislature. BY a provis-
ion contained in it, which was, pre-
sumably. not noticed by a large ma
jority of the members during the
rush of business incidental to the
closing hours Of the session, all lands
in the territory owned by railroads
are made exempt from taxation.
This affects all the land grant of the
Northwestern in Deuel., Grant, Cod
ington and IIamlin. the Northern
Pacific land grant and the portions
remaining unsold Of the town sites
of all the companies.-Huron Times.

Fermentation Of Bak.r's Dough.

1t has hitherto been supposed that the
fermentation of bread dough set up BY
sour leaven, or beer yeast. was real
alcoholic fermentation. We learn from
a paper in Compees Rendus, that &.
Chicandard has investigated the sub.
ject microscopicaliy. He found tina,
the Saccharomyces cererisio put into
the dough very soon disappeared and
numerous microbes. which he took for
bacteria, made their appearance. These
bacteria multiplied with great rapidity
on the yeast in dough, and they can be
be cultivated in water containing yeast
Hence he concludes that the beer Yeast
favored the growth of these microbes.
An analysis of the gases evolved during
fermentation proved e presence of 20
per cent of csrbonic acid. while the rest
consisted of hydrogen and nitrogen.
The composition Of these gases is SINH
lar to those formed l,y the putrefaction
of albumen.
From this it would appear that the
fermentation of bread does not consist
in liquefyins the starch by alcoholic fer
mentation. but in the conversion of one
portion Of the insolnDle albumen Of the
gluten first into soluble albumen and
then into peptone. Starch is first de-
composed by heat in the process Of bak-
ing. forming soluble starch and some
dextrine. The Cause Of the ferments.
ton is, however, q bacterium.

A Tramp's Siss.a.

a woman who had been swinging in
hammock in yard on Cass avenue
yesterday. had no sooner vacated it in
answer to call from the house. than
ragged old tramp who had been lean
ing over the fence walked inside and
coolly planted himself in the hammock
for siesta. In about five minutes the
woman reappe,red. and seeing at q
glance how matters stood. she brought
out sharp knife, walked straight up
to the fellow, and before he could
chuckle twice she cut the head rope.
He came down on his head with a
thump, toppled over at full length. and
slowly scrambled up and walked of.
Not word was said until he was out
side the gate. Then he turned and
called out:

m Yoxer Of Hatar.

The properties VI winter are only par.
tally understood BY those who have
never seen it under high pressure. The
Virginia CITY Water Company get their
supply from Marlette Lake on the
Tahoe side of the mountain. They get
It through By long tunnel. and are
then ON the crest Of a high mountain
opposite Mount Davidson. with WsshOe
Valley between. TO cross this valley
by f,ume would be almost impossible,
80 ,he water il carried down the noun
tain side 10 the bottom, and crosses
under the v. 4 T. Railroad track, on
the divide between Waslioe and Eagle
valleys, then mp again to the required
hciyn, in iron pipes. The depression
created in the line Of carriage IL l.72O
feet. and the pressure on the pipes is
500 pounds to the square inch. One
pipe is II inches in diameter, and il
quarter.inch iron lap welded. and Is
feet long. with screw joints. There is
little trouble from it. but the other.
which il twelve inches in diameter, and
il riveted pipe. mnkesmore or less trou-
BILE oil the time. The pipe is laid with
the seam down. and whenever a crack
is made nv the frost or sun warping it.
or from any other cause, the stream
Jonrs forth with tremendous force. II
tie joint is broken open. of course the
whole stream is loose and goes tearing
down the mountain. but usually the es-
cape is very small. The break last
week was less than five-eighths of an
inch in diameter. and vet the water in
tho fiume was lowered an inch and
half by il, and the pressure went down
fifteen or twenty pounds. Captain
OvertOn says that fifty inches Of water,
went through it. 1t has been probably
q year in cutting out. and was made by
O little stream hardly visible to the ma
ked eye, that escaped through joint
and struck the pipe two or three feet
of, eating away the iron until the pres
sure inside broke it through. When
such hreak occurs the noise can be
heard for half mile. and the earth
shakes for hundreds of feet around. A
break the size Of u knitting needle will
cut hole in the pipe in half an hour.
Such breaks are repaired by putting =
band around the pipe. pouring in melt
ed lead. and tamping it in. Such 3
stream bores through rock like sand
blast. The flying water is rs hard as
iron. and feels rough like a file 10 the
touch. 1t is impossible to turn it with
the hand. Us it tears the flesh off the
bones, and il the fingers are stuck into
the stream, with the point up, the nails
are instantly turned back, and some
times torn loose from the lesh.-Rsnc
Gazette.

STYLES for Men.

Dor overcOatings the coming winter
kerseys will be popular. made up with
laps and raw edges. For colors. old
claret or port wine shades. which have
not been worn Of late, will be very
stylish. Fur. beaver. chinchilla. ely
slams, and soft-tinish goods will be
worn, some Of these goods having been
popular for 5 long time and promising
to continue. These will be worn in all
colors-black. blue. brown. old claret,
and in mixtures. OF these goods near
ly $50 styles and colors are in the sam
ple-books. English blue pilots and
Irish friezes hold their own, while mel
tons will be worn to some extent, but
not SO much as formerly. As has been
stated, kerseys will be very popular;
also fancy beavers, especially in olive
or brown shades. claret or port wine
colors. Next come the plain worsted
patterns for morning coats, calling
coats. generally for common wear.
The ''corkscrew" pattern has been worn
. season or two, and it will have . great
run the coming season, in the country
trade especially. Heavy orders are in
and the bulk Of the country
trade is in this pattern. The very finest
thing in worsteds will DO . small, al
most indistinct pattern. not diagonal.
but much resembling it in black, blue.
brown. olive, wine colors and mixtures.
In the sample books there are one hun.
bred qualities, patterns. and colors in
but mostly of the cOrkscrew
pattern.
For trouserings, the best to be worn
ire English worsteds. in small. neat
'tripes. The style will demand quite
plain goods, and there is no tendency
or the coming season toward the
loud" patterns. There are indicstions
Il pronounced change in the style,
which will very likely b. exempliied

Sherman aui Sherllaa.

The Albany Argus slaskes of the
following pen and ink sketches Of
these two military worthless:
Gen. VIM. T. Sherman on Thursday
Welded command OF the army to Lie ut
Gen. Philip H. Sheridan. The powers
of the latter are increased, but not his
rank The law is that the rank of gen.
ersl shall lapse on the death of Sher-
man, and that of lleutenant-general on
the death of Shendan. This was with
the view Of restoring eventually the old
system of having the highest rank that
of major-general, the senior major-gen-
eral to command the army, under the
constitutional control OF the president
as commander.in-chief Of the land and
naval forces both. The change from
Sherman to Sheridan is an interesting
historical event. Both are men Of
genius. The genius of each is similar
IN its intense vitality. but unlike in all
other respects, Sherman is great
s.rategist as we'll as great campaign
or, 4 scholar, a cynic, an orator. a
walter, a kisser, a strong hater for. "a
short while, an egotist, terrible in war,
lazy in peace. with sporadic energy
IN authorship, full OF cheer for 1.-The
boys" and Of railley for the girls.
Peace makes Bohemian Of him-but
he has an old soldiers dogmatism,
testiness, anecdote. and as a citizen
his common sense is amazing in its
amount His are the weaknesses
which hang on the neck of strength.
Sheridan's genius has SO far been illus
trated only by handling troops in &C.
ton, by imp.ovising resources or de-
vices in great emergencies ard by his
abilities to inspire confidence of spirit
and celebrity of movement, among his
men. In these regards, he never had
4 superior in the Union army. He las
a few powers extraordinarily develop.
ed. Sherman has SO many SO power
fully developed, that they border on
the thin partition which divides grand
capacity from sublimated crankism.
Respecting books, society and pleas
ure, Sheridan is commonplace. He
is intense in battle, but not intellectual
out of it. Bureaucratic work and
sheer posing duty chafed Sherman.
and will be intolerable to Sheridan
but both men have such a hold on the
history and heart of the land that they
can do anything, within the law,
which they please, except run for presi-
dent or exploit five aces.

Digging Wells.

The Massachusetts Ploxghman soms
time since had the following direction.
in regard to digging wells i:
The old way of digging a well and
stoning it up so as to leave it about
three feet IN diameter, is very good
one If the water is to be drawn with
buckets ; but if only with a pump it is
a very poor way; for If, as is the usual
custom. the well be covered at the top.
1t leaves a very large space for dead
air, which often becomes so bad that
it affects the quality of the water, and
also makes it unsafe to enter the we'll.
When we'll thus stoned has only a
pump in it, the covering should be
under water or very near It but if it is
known that only a pump is to be used,
the expenses of stoning may be saved,
and the water kept in 4 much better
condition. This done by digging the
well in dry time, and. when dug as
low as possible, cement pipe, some
two feet in diameter and two or three
feet long, is sunk at the bottom and
worked down as low as possible by
digging out the inside; the pipe should
be covered over with a fiat stone.
through the middle of which a two.inch
hole has been drilled; directly over this
hole stands up drain-pipe. then begin
to fill in the hole. When filled as high
as the top of the first piece of drain
pipe, put on another, being careful to
have it straight with the other, and the
line perpendicular continue filling
and adding drain-pipe until it is as
high As the surrounding ground, or if
the pump is not to stand directly over
the we'll, then wnen it is filled within
four feet of the surface put in the
pump-pipe, and lead it off in a trench
where the pump is to stand. When It
is found that the pipe is all right. finish
filling the we'll, leaving some durable
mark that the position Of the well may
be known.
A well Of this kind is reliable and |
permanent, requiring no repairs, the
water is cool and free from impurities
that open wells are subject to ; no IN
sects or animals can find their way into
il. and the cost is not more than one
half that Of well that is stoned. II
dug, as it should be, when the springs
are low, . constant supply of water
that is as pure as the underground
springs. is secured. As the well is al
ways full there is no chance for bad air
10 injure the water, and in fact but lIrtle

ing cesspools compared to tina. Of

The srong point AZ the negro has
been his religion. and one q their old
fastened revivals Is calculated to fully
discourage the devil and oil his imps.
Alter the usual evening service the
pastor leaves the pulpit, and. surround.
ed BY his staff, prepares to battle With
the evil one. The moufners crowd
around the altar praying, groaning and
shrieking (; higher and higher rises the
singing and exorting. the bodies Of the
sinners sway IN rhythm with the music,
hands are patted and ieet stamp the
floor. Suddenly there is wild shrek,
and one Of the female mourners leaps
into the circle, all her sins are washed
away, and she is 80 violently happy
that she wants to go right straight up
TO Heaven. Some tall as il in trance
the voice Of the exhorter takes on a
steiner and more tire ,ten,ng tone and
the excitement becomes more intense.
Then succeeds calm; nearly all are
converted, and all are exhausted. As
4 final they strike up something like the
following:
