The number of people who take
Photographic pictures is increasing
amazingly year by year. Apart from
those who make living by tlle pro-
| fession, there are others to wi.oei II is
useful III their several occdpsa i9ils.
Engineers and architects Use il for
making pictures of machinery and
buildings, physicians find it handy In
keeping a record of surgical operations
tits Indispensable to artists in
sketching, then newspaper men are
enabled to take photograph, which
is desirable, now that all the journals
are being illustrated. Then u great
number of ladies and gentlemen find
it pleasant amusement to be able to
take pictures of their friends and rela-
tiyes. What repels the gentler sex,
however, is the ill-smelling chemicals
which are used to bring out the
pictures on the negatives. Once of the
drawbacks to the general use of pho
Biography to those who travel has
been the necessity of using glass,
which is weighty to carry and awk-
ward to use. But this difficulty has
been overcome by new apparatus
and process which employs paper in
stead of glass for negatives. Itwould
take too much of our space to describe
this new process, but amateur pilot
graphers will have no trouble in find
ing the new material. Pictures, 10y
the way, are becoming very popular.
The art work in our magazines is I'M
proving as months roll by, The cir
culation of our illustrated weekly pa-
pers is enormous, and the daily pa
pers are beginning to invade this
popular field. Men have many
tongues, that is, they speak many
dialects, while practically they have
but one eye; hence pictures form the
true universal language. Educators
are beginning to find out that the in
telligence of children can best be APP
pealed to through the eyes rather
than through the ears.-From De-
morst's Monthly for January.

In a country where every man and
boy may carry gun and keep dog
if he wishes to, and where people
generally little heed who shoots, or
what is shot, whether the laws are
obeyed or broken, what wonder is it
that wild birds and beasts disappear,
and that our markets are almost bare
of game, in seasons when it should be
cheap and plenty? Game of all kinds
is plentier and cheaper, all over Eug-
land, France, and Germany, than 1t
is here. The time may possibly come
when the right to carry II fowling-
piece will he obtained by paying
high license fee, when the privilege
ofshooting over certain districts, will
be sold for term of years to the
highest bidder, or disposed of at an
annual rental. Should that time
come, game will be abundant again.
Many townships or school districts,
fthey had the rightand the will to
enforce it, might in this way secure
an income sufficient to pay all school
expenses, and very likely good part
of the highway tax. AS it is farmers
might do a great deal if they would
towards suppressing this irresponsi-
BILE, general shooting, which is going
on every autumn. 1t will be neces-
sary for them first to become familiar
with the game laws, and then aid in
enforcing them by every means in
their power. There are thousands of
acres of land in almost every town.

where the ground is so rough as to be
unfit for any agricultural purpose,
and where even sheep cannot range,
on account of the exposure to the at
tacks of the fly. These are just adj
apted to deer, and if they could be
protected for few years, would null

wild turkeys, cartridges, and lesser
game birds, would increase.-Mason

Mr.. Leland Stanford has made pro-
vision in his will to give SIC, 100000 to
endow a great university at Palo Alto,
California. 1t is to be thoroughly
equipped institution, equal in all it's
departments to any in the world. tits
pity Mr.. Sanford does not carry out
his beneficient project While still alive
This is what was done by the late
Peter Cooper, whose Cooper Union
went into successful operation before
he was called to join the majority.
It is also to be regretted that Mr..
Sanford, instead of endowing all
ordinary university, did not devote
his vast fortune to organizing a great
scientific or technical school which
would advantage not only the we'll
te-do youths of the Pacific Coast, but
the sons and daughters of the COM
mon people. There are plenty of
colleges in all parts of the country,
but we are far-very far-behind Ger
many, France, and Switzerland in
technical and art schools. Still it is
hopeful sign when these great mill
ionaires devise their accumulations to
benefit mankind. An other Cali
fornian. James Lick, devised the
greater part of his property to erect
ing an observatory on one of the
highest peaks in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, In this observatory will
be placed one of the largest and most
perfect telescopes in the world. The
number of our very rich men are
multiplying, and every year some
one of them devotes large sums tc
scientific or educational purposes. II
would be well if these benevolent per-
sons were kept instructed as to what
was most needed in the fields o.
science and education.

Whether deterioration and loss Of
vigor in the course of cultivation are
owing to an Inherent tendency in a
variety, or result from faulty methods
of cultivation, 1t would be difficult to
decide, with our present knowlege
but certain it is that potatoes, former
ly famous and profitable, have disap-
peared from cultivation, and
became supplanted by
newcomers. Every year witnesses
the introduction of numerous new
varieties, most of them not better, if
so good as already existing standard
kinds The old Peachblow, Prince
Albert, and the once uneXcelled Mer-
GER, had to give way to the Early
Goodrich, Calico, and Gleason, which
in their turn have disappeared to
make room for the Early Rose Snow
flake, White Star and others; and to
judge rom the past development of
potatoes, these favorites ofthe present
day, will before long, have to yield to
newer varieties. Many of these Will
have but short existence, yet our
leading seedsmen have become more
careful in ascertaining the real merits
of novelties before sending them out
than was formerly the custom. Those
who desire to try ''something new,"
will therefore incur but little risk in
giving trial to novelties introduced
by reputable houses.-Dr. HEXAMER

Christmas Echoes.

vIttokuUuo @ShVSSs
The present which was most ap
preciated and most enjoyed was thu
one reserved "for the little boy or CIR
who hasn't any present"
"Christmas is, indeed, the season
of regeneratated feeling-the season
for kindllng not merely the fire Of
hospitality in the hall, but the genial
flame of charity in the heart"
Christmas day was merry one IN
Morris. Business was suspended anu
all devoted themselves te having a
good time. There were cheerful fires,
plum buildings, family gatherings,
and many other things of a most en-
joyable nature.
The only ones who were unhappy
We're those selfish people who can not
bear to see others receive more than
themselves and those who gave with
the expectation of receiving some-
thing in turn. But, these ungenerous
ones can not be truly happy under
any circumstances, so that no Others
shouid make themselves uncomfort-
able, because of them.
The exercises of the Congregations
alistS anday school in Phoenix Hall
on Christmas evening were enjoyed
by large number OF people from
both city and country. There was an
abundance of good things for every
body to eat, pleasing songs and reci-
tations, a fine Christmas tree, and all
had a merry time. None were sighted
In the distribution of presents.
The tree in the Catholic school
house OH Thursday morning for the
benefit of the children of the Catholic
congregation was thoroughly enjoyed.
Rev. Father Lange gave the little
ones a pleasant talk after which the
presents were distributed and large
number of children were made happy.
The usual exercises were conducted
in the church on Christmas day.
Rev. Father Hennesey, Of Browns
Valley, preached the sermon.
The exercises in the Methodist church
on Christmas eve passed off pleasantly
and were full of interest for the little
ones. A very clever representation
of an old fashioned fire place occupied
the pulpit, down which Santa Claus
came and filled the stockings hanging
from the mantel. There were songs
and Rotations of an appropriate
kind which the children rendered in
a pleasing manner. The presents,
the pop corn and candy were duly
appreciated.
Numerous members of the G. A. j.
Overton post, G. A. R. with their
families and friends spent Christmas
afternoon ond evening at Herman as
guests of the G. A. r.. post at that
place. They were greeted upon their
arrival by a brass band and were
Toasted and entertained in most
royal manner during all of their stay.

REFORM.
The Object Of Civil-Service Reform ant
What IL Really Means.

|
What it Really Means.
The World has suggested that the new
Secretaries ought to set to work prompt
ly to remove the pharmacies which In
the long Republican term of Office have
fastened themselves on to the National
Treasury. Many Senator, Congress
man, influential politician or shoddy
aristocrat who has been troubled with
worthless relative has managed to get
the black sheep gathered into the
official fold. Dissipated creatures who
have disguised even New York society
and been turned out of clubs and had
private doors shut in their faces have
been made pensioners on the Govern
ment through the Influence of their
relatives or friends, until the Washing
ton Departments are not without 9
number of characterless drones.
We do not doubt there are many
capable, honest, faithful men in the
Washington Departments. We do not
believe it would be in conformity with
Civil Service Reform principles to turn
such men out.
Surely it can not be so difficult to I'M
derstand what real Civil-ServiceReform
means. Its object is to insure just as
thoroughly capable, efficient and honest
service in all the public offices as is to
be found in well-conducted private
business. To accomplish this bad men
must not be retained, no idlers and
drones must be tolerated, faithful and
useful men must be rewarded for their
fidelity, and only capable and honest
men must be appointed.
A President who is nominated and
elected by political party also owes
something to that party, subordinate
of course to his public duty. When a
position becomes vacant by the expi-
ration of the term of the incumbent or
from other cause, he has a perfect right
to fill it with a member of his own
party. provided the appointee is as well
qualified and as deserving as any oppos
ing applicant.
In a political sense this is not only his
right but his duty.
Have not Republican Presidents fol-
twenty-four years recognized and exer-
cised this right? Have they not, in
fact, regarded their obligations to party
as superior to their duty 10 the public?
There are certain offices closely con-
cerned with the political character OF
the Administration which ought to be
in harmony with the Presidents polit-
zeal views and principles, and these
should certainly be filled by Democrats.
The Administration can not otherwise
be efficient and successful. But in the
thousands of subordinate Offices merit
should go before politics, just as the in
terests of the country must go before
the interests of any Darty
Turn out rascals; get rid of barna-
Giles; no new appointees who are not
thoroughly capable and honest. Blu,
all other things being equal, Demo-
cratic President will naturally prefer a
Democrat to RepuDlican.-N Y

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
LITTLE MISS sRIER.

She put out her thorns and scratched every
thing round.
srn just try" said she.
How bad can be;
At pricking and scratching there's few can
match me-"
Little Miss Brier was handsome and bright,
Her leaves were dark green and her flowers
were pure white;
But all who came nigh her
Were SO worried by her.
They'd go out of their way to keep clear OF
the Brier.
Little Miss Brier was looking one day
At her neighbor, the Violet just over the
II WONDER" said she,
That no one pets me,
While all seem so glad little Violet to see."
A sober old Linnet, who sat on a tree.
Heard the speech of the Brier, and thus an
swered he:
"'Tis not that she's fair,
For you may compare
In beauty with even Miss Violet there.
But Violet is always so pleasant and kind,
So gentle in manner, SO humble in mind,
Even the worms at her feet
She would never ill treat,
And to bird, bee and butterfly always is
sweet"
The gard 'ner's wife just then the pathway
came down,
And the mischievous Brier caught hold of
her gown;
Oh, dear! what a tear!
My gowns spoiled, / declares;
That troublesome Brier has no business there;
Here, John, dig it up; throw it into the fire.
And that was the end of the i'll natured Brier.
