riage is the very Garden of Eden An
unhappy marriage is the reverse and the
greatest Of all calamities that can befall
pure, atiectionatc, and noble woman. Faith
in God and a strong resolve to do every
duty can alone keep such one from abso-
lutte despair. Miss Braddon SAYS: "a good
woman who does not love her husband
makes the best wife" It this is true, it is
because she is controlled by duty instead
of the changing caprices Of affection.

dozen evolutionists and natlralists of the

letters are all distinctlv colored, is arranged
before the monkey student, which is at first
taught to select some simple word, as pie,
and, when he picks out the letters and
forms the word, he is given piece of pie,
so there is a constant incentive to learn
the prizes all being bread and butter, so to
speak" "And what are the results" asked
the visitor. "They have not been divulged

The extinction Of the buffalo, or bison,
In tins continent was only a matter of
time, but it appears to have been already
accomplished, if the dispatch from ST. Paul
which was published recently is accurate
The extension of the Pacific railroads laid
open Il great tract OF country which had
previously been difficult Of approach The
plains at once ceased to lie distant The
hunting grounds of the Indians were made
accessible not only to genuine sportsmen,
but to pot-huntcrs and hide-hunters. From
that period dates merciess and incessant
slaughter of the buffalo; a reckless and
cruel massacre OF the creatures, in fact
and they have steadily dwindled in num-
bers ever since, until row the last remnant
of them have been driven to take refuge in
practically inaccessible regions. 1t is true
that the buffalo is not necessary to Amcri-
can civilization; that in fact il was one of
the last remaining e;idenecs Of state of
nature which cannot come again and that
the Indians who subsisted upon the animal
have either persisted or obtained other
means Of living. As for the commercial
value Of the buffalo, it has probably been
discounted already There Is no difficulty
| in making efficient substitutes for the car
| riage robes which were the principal man
ufactUre derived from the great bison Of
the plains. Viewed from a purely mate
rial point, therefore, it was not material
whether the buffalo stayed or disappeared
But there is another aspect Of the case. In
the first place, the rockies slaughter Of the
great herd; Of buffalo that few wears since
ranged the plains has been IN net Of very
gross seltislnes- and culpable rap&city
Little less hlamew lrthv than the conduct
Of the hide-huntcrs has been that of the
so-cal!cd sportsmer, who, in defiance OF
every law Of real sport, have amused them
selves by Strengthening score. Of buffalo for
every one they could make Use of The
passion INDUCED by such people is really
| only a modification of the homicidal i'm
pulse; mere brutal desire to keep killing
harmless creatures incapable of Offering
any resistance. As Il rule there is 10 more
| courage or manlinesS required in killing a
buffalo than in killing a common COW, and
! the ordinary buffalo hunt Of late years has
been little else than butchery Some
| day, if not now, the world will regret the
senseiesS custom in accordance with which
the idle rich men Of this century think it
incumbent upon them to kill off all the
| best game everywhere on the globe. These
| foreign spOrtsmen are anSwerab!e for much
of the destruction wrought upon the buf-
falo, though no doubt the ruthless and
greedy hide-hunters have done the liens
share Of the extinction New York Trib-

Lieutenant Greedy and the ,:rindstone. =

When little boy, not more than 10
years old, Greedy visited an uncle on his
farm in Vermont One day the uncle had
occasion to use the grindstone, which may
he found in every New England door yard,
and loosely offered the boy five cents if
he would turn the handle for two hours.
The offer was accepted and the little fell
low began to turn. In less than half an
hour the prespiration poured from him in
streams; fifteen minutes more elapsed and
the tears began to mingIe with the sweat
of his BROW" but he still turned away man.
fully Then the uncle told him to stop,
that he had turned enough, and could have
the five cents without more work. But the
boy declined to stop, and worked away, al
though crying with fatigue. He stuck to
that grindstone until the two hours had
elapsed, and was laid up for some days
afterward. Knowing the man as | did, |
do not hesitate to say that he made up his
mind to surmount the obstacles and bring
his party through, and that it was his men
tai superiority that proved Of more value
to him than their physical strength did to
the unfortunate seventeen.

The Hop Question.

The raising of hops in this county has
+. become quite an important interest. The
! following taken from the California Groee',
and Gamer of October 31st. will no doubt
i be read by those in that business with con-
( siderable interest:
! The present condition of the hop market
/ TO the casual observer is one that is mex
, plicable, but by n careful analysis of it, GER
| tain facts are adducible, whereby good and
sufficient reasons can be offered in showing
| why the present state of the market exists
| In the season of 1889 and 1888. a season
| memorable in the annals Of hops as a COM
modify, the prices ran up to 81 y
per pound; the buying and selling interests
seemed to have lost their heads, and one
but had 10 ask a price to obtain it. The
| brewers came to their senses first, when
| they were found they were losing money,
| for the price of beer was not advanced
correspondingly TO the price of hops, and
| they commenced looking around for 4
remedy, and found tin substitutes" We
are all familiar with the results, prices re-
coded to 20 cents, and Notwithstanding the
facs that at the opening of the season; it
was clearly evident that there were not
4, hops enough raised to supply actual needs,
| still by the use of substitutes, we came on
| lnc season OF 1909 ana 1904 WITH Il SURF ltlS-
| The season of 1888 and 1884, up to June,
| 1884, was without interest or excitement.
| The price on this coast ranged from l6l to
Dbl cents; growers and dealers had but lit
tie difficulty in settling values and 1900
bales on this coast, harvested for 1888, were
all sold. In June, 1884, the prospects of
the English crop indicated only one-half
of an ordinary yield, and without pre-
mention orders came from New
York to make contracts for
1881 hops at III cents +. o. b. here. That
price was quickly raised to 20, 224, p and
80 cents, and rs high rs 81 cents was paid
for choice Srowths. Dealers seemed TO have
run mad in their attempts to secure stocks,
and 1t looked for Il time as though we Were
TO have the prices OF 50 re-cnacted. All
| this time the brewers We're silent and i'm
passive spectators OF the scene, evlncing
little or no anxiety as 10 prices for their
coming supplies, when suddenly orders
came as quickly to cease buying. Older
heads among dealers saw the mistake that
was being made and visions OF 's2-S3 were
floating before them when thousands of
bales OF hops costing from 90 to 80 cents
were sold from 10 down 10 ID cents; but
the mistake was made and desperate rene
dies had to be reSorted TO- To meet the ext
gencies OF the case, as growers were fully
alive and determined to be their own sell
ers. The first move was to improve the
