GAGE.

A San Joaquin county farmer
writes rs follows TO local paper
Il have lived Ia this locality twenty
one years. During this time | have
fsrmed from 100 to 800 acres of
splendid land, within seven miles of
Lodi When | came to the county l
pre-empted quarter section.
Twelve years ago bought the ad-
joining quarter section, mortgsging
the whole for $40. 600 to enable me TO
buy it. Out of the profits of my
twenty years farming | have sup
ported my family. fenced my lands,
built good barn and stable, and
paid 81 500 upon my house, which |
built five years ago at cost of s.. 200.
| raised 81, 700. balance on the house.
ON a join. note which o neighbor

This is what have accomplished.

figuring up what this plaster has
cost me in that time. Just think Of
it. l have paid 500 IS interest per
month on that COMPOUNDED, blood
sucking mortgage. Adding to the
compounded interest | have paid
IS. 900 interest for my foolishness in
going In debt to buy that quarter
section. The $1,000 / owe on the
JOINT note has cost me in interest in
the last four years. at 10 per cent.
just exactly $1,000, counting the
brokers' commission. Fer the glory
Of owning 800 acres of land, and for
the comfort of living in q good
house, have paid $40, 800 interest,
and still owe $l2. 700. l tell you,
Mr.. Editor, mortgages knock out
more farmers financially than short
crops and low prices.
Il am titty-seven years old grey

If am not old enough TO learn wis

fool.
II am tired of this big ranch of

pense and its small net profits. I'm
tired of shaving for kid-gioved
money-lenders. One half of my
farm Is for sale. Tn going to un-
load | will sell 100 acres of as good
land as there is in this valley, all we'll

provements, for just the amount OF
my debts. Anybody who will re.
lease me of two damnable iron-clad,
double-riveted pronissory notes, to-
gether amounting to $l2. 700, can
take that quarter section"

GUNS That Burst Easily.

IN bravado a young man placed the
muzzie of his fowling piece under the
water and tireithe charge. The result
was the bursting of the barrel near tie
hrcech, and the mutilation of his hand.
Another placed and held the muzzle of
his gun square against 4 piece OF plate
window glass and fred the charge
powder and bullet. The glass was shat
tered, so was the gun barrel. Another
instance was that of an expcrimentcr
who had heard that u candle could be
fired from the barrel Of a gunthrough an
inch board. He drove a candle into the
mulzle of the gun. fired. and the ex-
plosion split the barrel almost its entire
length. and did not even drive the candle
from the mulZle. Still another burst Of
i gun barrel vas caused by the use of
wet grass as a wad, we'll rammed down
ovcr.a charge of shot But perhaps one
Of the most singular exhibitions in this
line was a Colts navy revolver. which
some years = was sent to the factory
in Hartford, Conn. This was before the
adoption OF these pistols to the metallic
cartridges, and i; is probable that in
loading with open powder ard bali only
a small amount of powder got into the
chambers, and the bullet WAS not pro
peeled with sufficient force t. 3riyc +

4 Chinese Printing Office.

In a San Francisco Chinese printing
Office the manner of putting a newspaper
IN the press and printing is very primi-
tive. The editor takes American news
papers to friends, from whom he gets a
translation Of the matter he needs, and
after getting it written in Chinese in a
manner satisfactory to him he Cafefu "
writes ii upon paper chemically prepared.
Upon the bed OF the press, which is Of
the style that went out Of use with the
iasa century. Is autograph ton Upon
this the paper Is laid until the impress
sion OF the characters Is left there. A
large roller is mixed and passed over the
stone after it has been dampen2d with a
wet sponge, and nothing remains hut t.
take the i'm OPPRESSION upon the newspaper
tG be. The Chinese pressman prints
three papers every five minutes. five
papers III the same time less thai Benja-
min Franklin had a record for. The
life of . Chinese journalist Is a happy
one. He Is free from care and thought.
and allows al the work Of til establish
ment 10 be done by the pressman. The
Chinese compassion has not arrived The
Chinese editor, like the rest of his couu-
trymen, is initiative. He does not de-
pend on his brain for editorials. but
translates them from all the contempt.
raneous American newspapers he car
get. There is no humorous department
IN the Chinese newspaper. The news
paper office has no exchanges scattered
over the floor, and in nearly all other
things it differs from the American es-
adjustment. The editorial room is con
nected hv a ladder with hunks on the
loft atar where the managing editor
sleeps, aud next to it Is, invariably. 8
where NJ opium bunk AMI a LAYOUT

4 Newfoundland Dog.

There seems to be a sort Of love be-
tween dogs and children, and every
caper of the animal interests them to q
remarkable degree. A short time ago,
while sitting upon the piazza of the "a
Pierre Hotel at Ocean Grove on the New
jersey coast, [ witnessed a dog incident,
which, if had not seen it with NV own
eyes | could not have believed possible.
Two little boys and u Newfoundland dog
had a running match around one IF the
squares opposite the hotel. They started
from the seashore and ran with the fleet
ness OF young deer. The first heat was
won by the dog, who manifested great
delight by, barking and wagging his tail
amid shouts Of laughter Aom the LITTLE
fellows close at his heels. Men a second
contest took place. and when they came
around again one of the boys was ahead
twenty feet, the dog followed and the
other boy was behind. Just as the first
boy turned the corner he stumbled and
fell fiat on his stomach. The dog was
running at full speed, and tumbled over
the boy. Quick as thought he turned
to the boy, placed his paws under his
arms and lifted him upon his feet. The
sight of the dog, standing on his hind
| feet, with the boy erect IN /: Is paws, Is
! something to be long remembered. &c
cap the climax, ;he dog then picked NJ
the boys hat IN his mouth and scampered
off in a plf yful manner and the boy had
! a hearty laugh and shout and joined IL
! the chase.
