The Eucalyptus.

While the eucalyptus or Australian blue
gum tree destroys malaria and keeps Of
mosquitoes in marshy soil, it has no such
effect up,n dry soils. The difference is
ascribed by a German scientist to the fact
that the tree is constructed to act as an
evaporating machine, and only does its
work in marshy land. A feature OF the
tree is its adaptsbility to different climates,
II being now grown in almost every civil
lied country where frosts do not occur.

Two Gamblers Quarrel and q Bowie
Knife Does Deadly Work.

Knife Does Deadly Work.
Monday morning, says the Salt Lake
Sribune, a terrible fracus occurred in one
Of the DON in the rear OF the Cabinet
Saloon, where the Postofice was formerly
located. 1t appears that 8 ''stud poker
game had been going on for q long time
during the night, and that two gamblers,
Alonzo Randall, known as Montana"
and Antonio, an italian, got into q fight,
and Randall was fearfully cut with q large
knife. DR.. Bower, who was called at 8 A.
M. TO see the stabbed man, reports that he
found him in the room in the rear Of the
saloon, with o cash an inch and o quarter
wid and six and q half inches deep in the
back. He inserted his finger and found
that the tenth rib on the left side had been
cord; that the knife, after entering
had glanced outward, when IL curved
and followed down close to the cord,
partly severing one OF the spinal pro-
cesses. The knife was q seven-inch blade
hunting knife. and remained in the wound
until pulled out by some n Of the wit
nesses. Randall was taken to St. Marks
Hospital, and when seen by our reporter,
about noon yesterday, he was resting more
easily than n would suppose possible
with such q terrible wound. Drs. Hamil-
ton and Bower expressed the opinion that
Randall would recover. OF course qualify
ing this by the belief that the knife had
not passed entirely through the cavity.
The story Of the ARRAY as Cleaned
from notorious parties is that q party
Of six were sitting at q table playing
poker, and that q dispute arose between
Randall and "~Tony"-as Antonio is called
when the latter rose up and said. "Mr.
Montana, you're welcome to the money.
but / don't want you to do that any MORE"
indicating that he thought there was q
cheating trick being played. Randall
then told ebony" to hold his tongue or he
would jump over the table and use him
up. Words were quickly followed by
blows. Randall and his friends assert
that this was q trick TO draw him into 9
fight as "Tony" held Q grudge against him.
Randall got up and walked away. and
when Tony saw that his back was turned
he rushed toward him and did the stab
bling.

of directors for every child in the
township. Few little brains will over
work themselves in 22f hours per
week, and if they do parents should be
the first to detect it and give the child
time to recruit. In our opinion, SIX
weeks at midsummer and two weeks
during the holidays are the proper
duration of vacations, for the simple
reason that greater lapse In school
discipline at any one time will undo 9
month OF study Ujndier tiie tie system system
heretofore in vogue in this district, a
child no sooner becomes interested in
his studies than school is closed for
three or four months, and by the time
it reassembles, ten chances to one he
loses the taste for study acquired DUR
ing the previous term or has forgotten
half he knew. Not one Of us, who has
reached years of maturity but has
forgotten much learned in school, and
while such is indisputably the case
with matufed brains, how much more
disastrous must it be to the immature.
Just calculate tie time wasted under
the present system during a child's
eight or ten years Of school life. Far
better decrease the number Of years
and increase the number Of days.
This school question is vital one,
and parents should be willing to make
some little sacrifice for the purpose Of
educating their children. There IL
neither sense nor reason in permitting
children to run wild during the entire
summer.

STOP, YOUNG MAN.

Stop, pause and reflect before
you handle your reputation with
unhallowed hands. If a woman
must be stoned, let not the missile
be hurled by the hand of man
1T IS cowardly and contemplate
for the stronger to triumph over
The weaker. This is q growing
evil over the sex, and they forget
that wife, mother, or sister may
be a victim of some open. asper-
sions or sly innuendo that may
cost a life i'll avenging the injury
The estimate you put upon fe-
male integrity is too low at best
to take advantages of every un-
guarded point to make your at
tack, and where no invasion is sus-
pected no defense will be made.
1t Is true you may sometimes be
thrown into the society of thought
less, even debased women, but
you must not Judge Of the whole
sex by the delinquences Of a few
any more than you would Judge
of the valor and resistance of an
entire army by the cowardly sur
render of a small garrison, or
Judge Of the character of honora-
BILE and reputable citizens by the
humiliating and startling develop
ments of the police court. Many
a spotless character has been for
ever wrecked in this indiscrimi-
nate judgement, and many mans
happiness destroyed by this lack
of faith in woman.
Never speak lightly of your fe-
male friends, for the blows of an
open, direct attack are more east
ly parried than those oblique, un-
looked for shafts that strike US
sideways. An innocent woman
never RECEIVERS from a wound in
tiicted upon her reputation. No
balsam, however soothing and po
tent, heals the fatal stab, and its
ache and fever are ever present,
reminding the poor victim that
a canker worm is ever prey ing up
on vitality and swapping the roots
of life and happiness.
