Congressman Bndd. of Califor-
MIA, introduced bill in Congress
to prohibit the importation of
opium. He urges many good rea-
sons for the passage of the law, one
of which we desire to call particu-
lar attention to. He says, and
truely, that opium users will not
live where they cannot getthe drug
aud as the mass of Chinese are
opium users it follows that if they
cannot get ia the United States
they will GO to China where they
can get it. A law like that strin-
gently enforced would drive them
from the country faster than in any
other way.

The late decision of the Nevada

Indians committing crimes against
Indians cannot be tried in our State

is that the Nevada Indians are not

For we both agreed in doabting whether

And she said her young affections were all

So we laughed at those wise men who say
that friendship cannot live
'Twixt man and woman, unless each has

brighter days to come;
We were strictly confidential, and called each

The Manufacture of Camphor in
Japan.

The camphor-tree grows abundantly
all over the island of Kiu Shiu, and
portions of Japan. The ancient tenn
pie of Osuwa, at Nagasaki, is situated
in grove of many hundred grand old
camphor-trees, which are of great age
and size, and are still beautiful and
vigorous. / am told that there are
trees at other places in Kiu Shiu meas
uring twenty feet in diameter. The
body, or trunk of the tree, usually
runs up twenty or thirty feet without
limbs, then branches out in all direc-
tions, forming well proportioned,
beautiful tree, evergreen and very orna-
mental.
The leaf is small, elliptical in shape.
slightly serriated, and of vivid dark
green color ALT year around, except
for week or two in the early spring,
when the young leaves are of delicate
tender green. The seed, or berry grows
In clusters, and resembles black cur
rants in size and appearance. The
wood is used for many purposes,its fine
grain rendering it especially valuable
for cabinet work, while it is used also
for ship building. The roots make ex-
cellent knees for ships.
In the manufacture of camphor the
tree is necessarily destroyed, but, by
stringent law of the land, another is
planted in its stead, The simple meth
cd of manufacture employed by the ma
tive is as follows:
The tree is fell to the earth and is
cut up into small pieces, or, more pro-
perly speaking. into chips.
A large metal pot is partially filled
with water and placed over slow fire,
A wooden tub is fitted to the top of
the pot, and the chips of camphor-
wood are placed in this. The bottom
of the tub is perforated, so as to permit
the steam to pass up among the CHIPS.
A steam-tight cover is fitted on the
tub. From this tub bamboo pipe
leads to another tub, through which
the inclosed steam, the generated cam
phor and oil flow. This second tub is
connected in a like manner with
third.
The third tub is divided into two
compartments, one above the other. the
dividing being perforated with small
holes. to allow the water and oil to pass
to the lower compartment. The upper
compartment is supplied with layer
of straw, which catches and holds the
camphor crystal In deposit as it passes

Salt Lake.

Salt Lake is about one hundred miles
long and its greatest width is fifty miles.
The average depth is forty feet and
soundings have nowhere reached be-
yond ninety feet. The bottom is
hard white sand with very gradually
shelving shore, and so far as known no
form of animal or vegetable life exists
in the water, which is wonderfully
clear, the white sand being easily visi-
BILE where the depth is not over twenty
feet. There are several isl lands in
the lake and all are Mountainous, al
though some have some good farming
land between the peaks. Two islands
nearest to the city are Church island, so
called from its form, and Kimball is
land, named after pominent light of
the Latter Day SAINTS. The former is
farmed but the latter is the haunt of
the sea gulls, which, during the fall,
come here to breed. They make the
journey from the Pacific coast in about
two days, the distance being fully eight
hundred miles. They live while rails
ing their young upon worms and in
sects, and do not suffer from the loss of
their usual fish diet. 1t is amusing to
see them sailing about looking sad at
the water. which they know by bitter
experience is cruel disappointment,
but never venturing to insert their
bills III it. The young birds, and some
of the older ones, are quite tame, and
come at the call of the saloon-keeper to
be fed. When the old birds think that
their offsprings are strong enough for
the long fight they give the signal for
start and, after circling for a mo-
ment or two, bend their course due
west and are seen no more till the next
year. There is territorial law against
the destruction of these birds. and they
seem to be perfectly aware of their
safety.

How to Tell a Cows Age.

To tell cows age by her horns, count
three for the tip down to the rings, and
one year each for the most prominent
rings, emitting the little ones. Some
cow jockeys file these rings down
smooth with the horn to make the cow
look younger than she is, and thus de-
ceive the raw purchaser, but the prac-
ticed hand can generally tell better
after the filing is done, as the rings are
pictured on the horn. The teeth are
also indicators of age, but, like the
horns, there are conditions under which
they are misleading. Cows that are
bred young or are vicious by nature
usually produce abnormal growths of
horn while those that live on sandy
soil and crop close wear their teeth
down. To our own taste the best test
is the general appearance of the COW,
especially the eye. In animals either
well kept or young there Is a freshness
