THE State University has, at last, a
President, He is young man, and, we
may therefore assume, of progressive ideas
and positive energy. He has fine record
as student at West Point, as disciple
marian in the army, as a scholar in his
specialty-astronomy-and as an author in
the walks of scientific literature. We
have reason to expect of Professor Holden
a successful and strong administration.

zens' committee to remedy existing evils may
find favor with seufe of them.
There may be reform within party if
the reputable and reform-desiring party
men will attend to political matters, and
not delegate to the bosses the whole bust
ness of politics. But so far as municipal
management is concerned, it should be
wholly divorced from party and politics.
The time will come when this will be done
in all large cities. A municipality is an
association of citizens of a country, who,
for convenience and mutual protection
and benefit, agree to certain codes Of rules
for local government. These should be
based on business propositions and econ
omic principles, and have no relation
whatever to party politics, either State or
national. What on earth does it matter
whether street is to be graded by Dem
ocratic Superintendent or a Republican
Commissioner? The one prime object is
to have the street graded to the best pos
sible result with the least possible outlay.
What should it concern the resident of
city that the Chief of Police is member
of this, that or the other party? His con-
Germ chiefly is that the laws shall be en-
forced, and the peace preserved by com
petent man. Municipal management is
closely akin to the management of private
business, and should be under the conduct
of competency, honesty and economy, re-
gardless Of political belief or utilization.

business, and should be under the conduct
of competency, honesty and economy, re-
gardless of political belief Or utilization.
SOME Of the commission fruit men are
manifesting alarm over the agitation of
the fruit transportation question, and the
proposition to enlarge the opportunities of
the small growers, and generally to aug
ment the proitableneSs of the business to
the producer. They fear that every one
will rush into the business and destroy the
established trade houses and agencies
without substituting any thing better.
This is shortsighted. Business is best
done where business is done" Whatever
conserve5 the fruit-growing industry will
help the commission merchant. His op-
portunities will be as broad under a
broader system as they are now, and no
advantage can inure to the grower that
viii at all prevent the middle men from
engaging in precisely the business in
which they are now employed. The cry
of old was that ease of doing labor robbed
iaborers of their opportunities; but it was
found that the capacity to produce and
supply rapidly only augmented the de-
mand and called more laborers to the
field, Precisely is this true of business up
to point that we do not believe the fruit
trade can reach, at least for long period.
Commercial friction and the attrition of
trade always evolves the best methods
and processes for trade, and upon this I'M
falling law the fruit dealers can implicitly
rely. 1t is folly to suppose for moment
that there can be for any considerable
period a monopoly in the fruit trade, or
greatly circumscribed limits for it. The
people are not, by great, deal living up
to the fruit standard of dietary regime
that they should. The consumption is
bound to increase in a way the ardent as
yet scarcely dream of. The fruit trade is
largely to solve the question of living
economically and with less of animal food.
But these are sanitary considerations,
though related, and more Intimately than
most suppose, to the commercial side.
JUICE HOFFMAN, of the United States
District Court at San Francisco, has liter
ally taken the bull by the horns in his re-
markable charge to the Grand Jury. He
fatty tells that body that there is an open
traffic IN Chinese. return certificates, and
that he, the Judge, knows it to he so that
he has proof of the fact that red certif
Gates have been peddled about in open
market in Chinatown. He then proceeds
to direct the jury where to search for evil
dence, and makes their duty so plain that
they cannot avoid it, however much in
cllned. He tells them, also, that these re-
turn permits are sold in Hongkong, and
in addition, that original permits to enter
this country are matters of merchandise in |
China. 1t is in the power of the jury, on
this charge, to make such report as will |
bring the whole subject directly within the
range of diplomatic attention. In that
case, it is to be hoped that this Govern |
ment will demand such an accounting as |
China will not dare to refuse.

Pet Animals of New Guinea.

In Australia the only big animal which
is not marsupial is the dog, and this was
probably first brought over by man.
New Guinea has not only dogs, but pigs;
and it seems to us an odd thing that the
natives, though they have dogs, should
make pets of pigs. Papuan women will
caresses her dog-though the dog, too,
has been considered an unclean animal.
Dogs are sometimes sacrificed in New
Guinea.
Australasia has another kind of strange
beasts, lowly organized, and ranking even
below the marsupials. OF these the best
known is the famous "Ornithohynchus
paradoxus," the platypus or duck mole,
which its first DISCOVERIES hardly knew
whether to class as beast or bird.
After a time another animal of the same
order was found, kind of prickly ant
eater and two species of this creature
was found in New Guinea. There is,
therefore, every hope of finding new and
strange beasts, to say nothing of other
animals. The birds of New Guinea are
beautiful in the extreme: some of them
have been known longer than their coun-
try; for hence comes the wonderful birds
of paradise, which were brought long
ago to Europe, though living specimens,
such as those now in the geological gar
dens, have been seen there but seldom.
The skins were sent to the West with the
legs cut off, whence arouse the fable that
these lovely creatures were inhabitants
of the air alone, and never settled on this
dull earth at all. The splendid crowned
pigeons, great blue birds with the state
liest c,ests, several of which may be seen
at the geological gardens, also come
from New Guinea, where they were first
noticed by the famous English navigator,
Dampier. CaSSelps Family Magazine.

From PeOn to President.

A San Francisco artist was showing
CdH reporter some portraits of Cen
trail American presidents One shown
was dashing military man with suffi-
cient African blood to tell even in pic
ture. 1t was the late President Guardia
of Costa Rica of such unenviablc fame
the same who died owing England mil
lions for the famous Costa RIGA railroad /;
the same who never paid even his per-
sonal debts whenever he could avoid it.
lie was the little Napoleon of Cen.
trail America" said the artist. lie made
himself president. He was barefooted
peon who was picking coffee beans with
his wife Dona Amelia" and the artist
put next to Guardia's portrait the like
ness of tine-looking lady, exceedingly
white, but with sad expression. she
became first a soldier and then a presi-
dent, through coup d'etat. He gained
the adhesion of eleven patriots, who,
having procured sufficient pistols and
machetes dong knives, hired a man for
the purpose, who drove them in a wagon
all covered up with zacate or green
grass. When they passed by the Guar
tel or barracks, the driver called the
sentinel and told him to ask
the commandant if he would
not buy some zacate; that he,
the driver, would sell it at half price on
account of his having to ride far out
into the country. The sentinel having
inquired of the commander, who re-,
piled in the affirmative, the gates of the
Quartet were thrown open, the mozo
drove in, the men jumped out, and by
killing the commandant and every one
who opposed them, they obtained pos
session Of the barracks, and Guarda
proclaimed himself president of Costa
Rica."

the deacon, fairly boiling with rage,
beloved out: "Do you ear me, you
thieving villian2 come down this hins-
tant."
Jim turned slightly, but still kept his
eye in the direction of the orchard. ooh,
deacon" he exclaimed, joyously, "Im so
glad you've come; old Dick and Dolly
have broken the pasture fence and
got into the orchard where your full
blooded Jersey calf is and they have
been worrying the life out of that poor
creature. l just climbed up here to watch
them, and tell you as soon as you got
home" The deacon was just beginning
to feel that he had little spare money
to invest, and blooded cattle had been
his dream for years, and yesterday he
had made his first investment of the
kind in his Jersey calf. All through the
summer this calf had intruded until the
deacon had asked himself seriously if he
had set up this calf to worship. Though
he knew Jim would sometimes stretch
the truth, especially if he was in tight
place, still his fear that some harm might
come to this first full blooded creature
that he had ever possessed was OF para
mount importance.
"Get down here none of your lies, q"
yelled the deacon, little Modified,
though not convinced.
There, y said the unmoved boy, cold
Dick has just almost kicked the daylight
out of that poor calf"
Away went the deacon across the six
acre lot at the top of his speed only to
find that his Jersey was chewing his cud
under tree and old Dick and Daisy, the
staid work horses, were quietly feeding
on their own side of the fence.
Jim made a circuit around the deacon 8
for months after this.

In the Spring.

The country school teacher had been
telling her scholars about the seasons
and their peculiarities, and, to impress
their youthful minds with the facts, she
questioned them on the points she had
given. She had asked several qucs-
tons, and finally reached the bad boy in
the corner.
"Well, Johnny" she said, "have you
been paying attentions"
"Yesum," he answered promptly.
"Im glad to hear it, Johnny. Now
can you tell me what there is in the
spring"
"Yesum, kin, but don't want to-.
"Oh yes, you do. Don't be afraid.
You have heard the other scholars. Be
good boy now, and tell US what there
is in the spring7"

Garden Herbs.

Few things add more to the pleasure
Of thoroughly good cook than to have
full supply of Kitchen herbs ready to
hand, says the Garden. A little of one
thing or another in this line often makes
all the difference between a successful
dish and one of mediocre quality. Every
garden should have few, and where
they are wanting should be looked after
at this season. Perhaps the most useful
is parsley. That has to be raised from
seed, although if the flower stalks are
cut off as-they come up in the summer
the same lants may be prolonged several
seasons. 1t does not 90 TO seed, how
ever, the first season of sowing; so that
if it is sown early and gets strong be-
fore summer comes we can get a pretty
good supply of leaves the first season.
The seeds, however, take several weeks
to germinate, and should be put
IN as early as possible. Another herb
of great service to the best cooks IN the
leek; kind of onion which is no onion,
as 1t makes all tops and little roots. 1t
is not so strong as the ordinary onion,
and gives a delicate flavor to certain
soups and sauces which nothing of the
tribe will do. This has also to be sown
early and on very rich ground. But,
if possible, the richness should be given
to the ground the previous year. Fresh
and rank manure IS unfavorablc to good
lcek culture. Many make good use IN
winter of ma joram and summer savory.
These are raised from seed sown at the
usual time in the spring. Sage and
thyme are perenniais; but they require
an occasional pruning or replanting to
get them in the best condition. If left
to themselves they become woody, scalv,
and somewhat barren of leaves, if they
are not entirely killed by the severity of
the winter. Thyme can be kept in good
condition by being simply sheared down
to the ground or cut back with knife
every spring. This induces good healthy
growth, whichisin excellent condition for
use at any time. Sage is often kept many
years in good condition by simply cut
ting back; but often it needs starting
quite anew. This may be done by taking
cuttings of the old plant and burying
them deep down in the ground so that
the tops of the shoots are barely above
the surface. These root well and soon
make good plants. There are other
herbs useful on some occasions; but these
are essential to every good garden

Dairy md stock Notes.

Gentleness will help fill the milk pail.
Oil meal and roots make sleek cattle.
The pig is no exception to the rule
that all domestic animals require salt.
A cream thermometer will save back
ache; sixty-tour degrees is the correct
thing.
More butter is spoiled by being over
worked than by not being worked
enough.
Cows become very fond of beanstalks,
after a little use of them, and prefer
them to good hay.
The Farm Journal advises that we keep
cribbing horses loose in stables without
hangers. Let them eat off the floor.
When the cream gets too thick in the
churn, add some warm water mot hot
to float the butter, and it will come
sooner.
When cornstalks are fed, clover should
be fed with them, or cotton-seed meal.
Timothy and clover mixed is better than
clear clover.
Sheep should not be allow ed to run in
muddy yards or be driven Though the
mud to and from the field. Such treat
ment may engender foot rot.
The best butter ever produced from
churn would have been wretched stuff if
the cream had been allowed to absorb
odors from the cellar or kitchen.
Most people feed horses too much hay.
Some horses will eat hay until they can
travel no better than COW. 1t costs
some men twice as much to keep horses
as others whose teams are equally we'll

A Senator's Grief.

Senator Edmunds is disguised with the
old fashioned house on Highland place
and is building fine residence in New
Hampshire avenue, near Mr.. Blaine, SAYS
Washington letter. The death of
Senator Edmunds' two daughters, of CON
sumption, just as they had reached
womanhood, and the precarious health
of his only remaining child have told
deeply on him. Once during a night
session of the Senate, a member, who
had become both quarrelsome and fac
tious by frequent visits to the restaurant,
addressed several remarks to Edmunds,
who occupied his usual desk, having
been relieved of the duties of the chair.
Senator Edmunds sat silent and alb
stracted Then the Senator intimated
that the reason for Senator Edmunds' ST.
lence was that he had neither the com.
mand of his tongue nor of his legs. At
this the offender was promptly raped TO
order. Senator Edmunds arose hastily,
and going into the Vice Presidents room
gave way to a burst of grief. He said
he was thinking of his domestic sor-
rows, and had scarcely heard what was
going on around him. After that his
seasons OF gloom and dependency were
understood. Lately, however, he has re-
covered somewhat from his depression.

The CamelIia.

Ferdinand VI, of Spain, while suffer-
ing under the hereditary melancholy
from which he subsequently died, was
pacing to and fro one December day in
the year 1879, in his bedroom in the Pal
ace Royal of Madrid. He was interrupted
by the entrance of Maria Theresa, his
queen, who bounded gaily into the room.
In her hand she held flower of dazzling

scentless," exclaimed the king, folding
in his arms the wife whom he passion

which Maria Theresa brought to her hus-
band century and half ago had been
presented to her the previous day by a
Jesuit missionary just returned from the
Indies. Craving an audience from his
sovereign, he brought his Offering, a
small shrub with glossy green leaves, on
which blossomed two magnificent white
flowers, which she had brought from the
island of Luzon, one of the Philippine
group. 1t was about three feet in height,
and grew in a vase of mother-of pearl.
The Jesuit donor was named Camellia.
Cuttings from the rare shrub were care
fully cultivated in the lighthouses of Ell

introduced into Spain toward the end of
1879, the new flower of Camellia re-
