A TOUGH ONE,-The Chico Record per.

A TOUGH ONE.-The Chico Record per.
petrates the following:
One of the most novel teams on record
is owned by boy in Tehama. The young
fellows flyers are nothing more nor less
than two large surgeons, which were
caught by his father in the Sacramento
river. The boys family name is Frank
Cooper. He has fastened an end of a
strong rope to the tail of each fish, and
the other end is fastened to the bow of an
eighteen. foot boat. Two cords, fastened
in some manner to the heads of the fish,
serve as reins, and the owner of the team
guides his fshy charges up or down
stream at will The other day he took a
spin up the river to Red Bluff, accompa.
MED by three other boys, and at that
place the curious outfit attracted much
attention. Young Cooper contemplates a
journey to Chico, and II the trip thus far
is successful ne will lay in stock of sup
plies and continue his meanderings TO
Sacramento. The first day the "water
horses were hitched up they bucked "
with all the energy of thoroughbred
untamed Mexican mustang jumping and
plungiDg out of the water and diving
down as far as their harness would per-
nit. But they have been broken splen-
didly, and cause no trouble to their proud
driver. When they are not in use, the
fish are driven into laEge wooden cage,
which was made expressly for them.

a Curious Iomb.

In the ancient blrying. ground at East
Boxford, in Massachusetts, there ls a
curious tOmo, which Is visited by many
people IN tho course of year, This ID the
tomb Of General Solomon Low, who was
buried here IN 1851, and who died ut the
age of seventy-nine years. 1t was designed
by himself, and has On either side of tho
entrance two handsome white marble
gravcstones, erected to the memory OF his
three wives, who are also uttered here.
On each stone arc carved pictures OF two
Of his wives. The first two are roprc.
scnled with their chiliren around them
and infants in their aims. They are sit.
ting In antique chans with straight backs.
The two wives represented on tho second
stone are sitting IN modern rocking chairs
beside centre.tablc, on which ape books.
The fourth wife ls still living, When the
adjacent ground wac used for O muster
field, the tomb was always opened for one
day, and the generals regimenta's were
exhibited there, In accordance with direc.
ions In his will. -.

and ecclesiastical. Some times his zeal
carries him away when he speaks of the
white gloves of the Judge az being q
''foretaste Of the millennium" but he
is generally reasonable and always
readable. OF more interest to the
glove wearers of to-day is his account
Of the gloves Of famous Queens. Queen
EliZabeth's gloves were Of fine white
leather worked with gold thread, and
lined in the cuffs with drab silk. Mary
Queen of Scots gloves cost .15s. with
out ornaments, the latter costing Cos.
more. One of them, which is still pre-
served, was Of light buff leather, with
a gauntlet embroidered with silver wire
ana various colored silk, and lined with
crimson satin. The elaborately em-
Droldered gloves Of the sixteenth CEN
tury were adorned with flowers worked
III SILK with such exquisite fidelity as
to render them veritable needle paint
ing.
How long gloves have been in COM
mon use IS difficult to ascertain, but wo

the Normans came and did not go, be-
tore gloves had recognized place in
our national costume. From that time
forth they have maintained their place,
and in the sixteenth century we find
gloves Of leather and silk, the latter
often knitted. Besides describing their
history, the author Of "Gloves'' ac-
quaints us with their svmbolical mean-
ing. Gloves have been signs Of faith,
security, promises; they entered into
transactions Of tenure, and formed
part of medieval rent. But as they
were a token Of hostility, they were
also often a peace.otfering or gift on
any special occasion, such as New
Years and Easter Day. at betrothals,
weddings, and funerals; they were
worn as favors by chivllrous lovers,
and after gong through all these stages

The Worlds Wheat shpply.
It is not always certain That aari

1t is not always certain that agricul.
tural departments and commercial
agencies come very near the truth IN
their early estimates Of the yearly crop
Of wheat and other cereals in the civil.
lzed world. In many Of the countries
Of Europe and Asia which figure largel,
In making up the grand total of tho
yearly supply of bread-produclng grains
the means of gathering accurate infor-
nation in advance are very Inadequate
Much, therefore, of any advance esti.
mate must be based upon conjectural
reports rather than positive know,
ledge.
Estimates are made, however, and il
they are even approximately correct fol
the current year they are full OF
encouragement for the wheat producers
Of the United States, :Ihe latest
estimate of the Agricultural Depart.
ment places the Americanicrop for the
present year at 417,000.000 bushels,
against 5O4, 100000 bushels last year.
This make a shrinkage of 81, 900, 900 Of
bushels Oh last years. immense crop, it
is true, but it must be borne in mind
that 50, 600, 900 bushels of that crop is
carried over, giving a visible supply
fof The current year OF 4G7 900, 900
bushels. Allowing that the home con-
sumption will be about the same as in
1882, when it reached 280, 600, 900 bush
els, there will be a surplus of 187 ,OoO,-
600 bushels for expectation, if needed
Will it be needed2 TO answer this
question reliance must be placed upon
estimates, the accuracy of which can
not be absolutely vouched for. The
Vienna Congress estimates the total
crop of eighteen countries at $50, ,OOO,-
600 bushels, or fifteen per cent, below
the average crop, leaving a shortage Of
not less than 160, 900, 900 bushels to be
filled by American wheat. This is a
larger amount than the average for
eign demand and can hardly fail to
keep the prices strong.
If the estimates are any where near
accurate they are very encouraging to
the commercial interests of this country.
The old world wants the wheat and the
new world has it to spare and nobody
else has. The present situation fur
nishes all the conditions for prosper
GUS years trade. Croaking is not in
order at this stage Of the proceedings.
