FrOude's Mistake.
San Francisco Chronicle.

The power of the printing press is
in a very few instances so potently
shown as in the ease of Bret Harte's
works. All English writers of any
prominence have so formed their OBJ
inions of California, their impressions
rather, upon that writer, that the
have almost come to confuse caus
and effect and to'give Bret Harte cree
it for the spirit of the life they find i.
California. Mr.. Froude, who has
just written a singularly unefusive,
complimentary chapter of his impress
sions of us, sees Bret aarte every
where, and, rather strangely for such
a man, seems to trace to Bret Harte
the very influence and spirit which
produced him. In very pleasant
and fattering mention of the Bohem-
Ian club, he says it was founded by
Bret Harte, and he noticed the style
and spirit OF It's originator everywhere
in it. Mr.. Froude is misinformed.
As a fact, Bret Harte had nothing at
all to do with the founding of the
Bohemian club. I don't think he ever
was s. member of it. But Mr.. Froude
recognizes there, as he VIII every
where, the California spirit which
Harte has with such felicity placed
within the comprehension and enjoy
ment of thousands of people who will
never be here.

TO BE CONTINUED,
A DARK CRIME.
Murdered at His Post.

A crime almost unequaled for au,
daclty and brutality in tho annals of
dark deeds, was committed at an early
hour Saturday morning. The night
express on the Rock Island railroad,
which left Chicago at IL o'clock Fri
day night, was found on arriving at
Morris, in that state, at 40 o'clock
the following morning, to have been
boarded by robbers, who had murder
ed the express messenger. Kellogg
Nichols, overcome the baggageman,
and robbed the safe of some 500, 900
or $4,000 in cash and other valu-
ables. The deed is supposed to have
been committed near Joliet, probably
at the coal chute couple of miles
west of that place. The murderers es-
caued without stopping the train.
Kellogg Nichols was an old and
trusted messenger of the United States
express company, 40 years old, had
been twenty-three years IN the same
employ, and lived with his wife at
No. 459 North avenue, Chicago.

A Bogus Butter Lobby.
Washington Special.


During the past week number of
oleomargarine manufacturers have
been here working for the defeat of
the bill which has been before the
house committee on agriculture, re
curing an internal revenue tax of 10
cents pound upon all imitation but
ter, and that it be so colored and lab.
eled SO that it can readily be distin-
guished from the genuine article. The
manufacturers of imitation butter In
their various arguments before the
committee on agriculture, went into
an analysis of oleomargarine and
showed how and of what it was made,
claiming that it was more cleanly
and wholesome than butter from the
cow, and that, as Secretary Bayard re-
Gently wrote to congress, 1t would
generally be adopted for use as soon
as the people understood its compo-
sition and get over their squeamish-
ness.
A very strong lobby Is arranged
against any discrimination in opposi-
ton to imitation butter. This inter
est has now become large. There are
imitation butter factories all over the
country and the proprietors of them
say the market for their products in
this and foreign countries has so great
ly increased that it is a necessity, that
the COWS cannot supply the demand
for butter The fight has reached the
condition of the laboring classes being
arrayed against the farmers, the for
mer having been enlisted by the man
ufacturers. If the farmers and legiti-
mate butter-makers expect to throttle
the oleomargarine interests they will
have to organize and make firm OPP
position.

She Had Her WaY.

The California girl doesn't get left
often, says The San Francisco News
Letter. The Fl. @. travelled on the
same train with her not long ago, and
she wanted to stand on the platform
and view the scenery, and the copduc-
preferred she wouldn't. She fixed
upon him naughty stare and remark
ed grandly: "Do you know who l
anna Perhaps you are not aware of the
position my father occupies in this
company" Conductor withdrew his
objections and retired, and the pretty
girl smiled on the Fl. Q. and observed
afably: AS long as he didn't know it
is all right. My father took the tick
cts for about week while the man at
the office was SICK" and she proceeded
to enjoy the scenery.

no use talking, a homemade pie dis
arms the criticism it deserves. The
mistress of the house announces that
you must taste this because she made
it herself. That is to say, if you don't
like it and it does not agree with you,
it's the fault of the pie. If it's good,
it's the credit of the bakeress. Well,
never mind, most of us are in luck to
get pie anyway.
The young housewife went down
town and bought pie at the bakery.
The sight of that pie was temptation
she could not resist. She must make
one. This was an apple pie. She
ruHg the changes, and built two
squash pies. She completed the con-
tract before it struck her that two
sqush pies and one bakers apple pie
were totally disproportionate to the
wants of the two in the household. 1t
also occurred to her that something
else would be necessary for dinner, a
fact she had overlooked. Her ideas
of economy were outraged by the rev.
elat'on, and an element of vanity
was added that led to all the trouble.
She had shaved over those squash
pies. She was proud of them. She
determined that they should not be
interfered with by the bakers pie, the
professional article. And yet she did
not wish to wait for the approval of
her work too long. and she was sore
~ disturbed as to whether she should
serve the bakers pie and the squash,
or only the squash, or one of the
squash, Or what she should do. At
last she concluded she would
get rid of the bakers pie and
leave her own handlwork clear field.
So she carefully laid the squash pies
in the pantry to await the next day,
and the haker's pie was duly eaten.
With a palpitating heart she went to
find the squash pies, and spring them
on her husband. The cat had eaten
them both.

Mem0rizers.
st, Nicholas.

Have you ever notice an absent
minded person make a knot in his
handkerchief Or tie bit of thread on
his finger to remind him of some
thing2 The great and highly civilized
nation of Peru, ruled by the Incas,
and often called the Inca Indians,
was found to use knots tied in wooden
stringe as memorizers. The only
books in the royal libraries and treas
uries of the Incas were himsy pieces
of worsted work. The wooden strings
made from the fleeces of llamas and
alpacas, were dyed with different col
ors, and the knots were of several diff
ferent kinds, so that the system was
not easy to use, and special chiefs or
historians were employed TO make
and read them.
It was their duty to commit to
memory the facts and figures to which
the knots and celors referred. Men
were chosen who had great memories
naturally, and constant practice made
them marvels of exactness. A simple
glance at such strings would enable
them to rattle off long accounts of
taxes paid and taxes due, of tribute
from conquered tribes given and still
to come, of embassies from other ma
tons and of wars made and treaties
concluded. Although used chiefly in
affairs of taxes, we can hardly doubt
that now and then great pieces of
news, like an earthquake, or an in
vasion of pirates, OR the death of an
Inca, or the arrival of white men
wearing boards and impenetrable
clothes made eff dark metal, would
be tied into these curious memorials.
They were called Quippus, and it is
said that they are still II use among
tribes of the Andes mountains. The
old Quippas of the Incas have not all
been lost; but I fear that no Indian
now lives who can explain what the
knots and colors mean

Nearly every mother knows the
value of faxseed as q domestic mcdi-
cine, but the Philadelphia JAIL sug-
gests quite a new use for It. This
paper says that dczsR of these seeds
should constitute part of every tray
eller's outfit. According to the Call,
if cinder, particle of iron, steel or
other hard substance gets into the eye
one et tae simplest and best remedies
is to put one or two grains of faxseed
into the eye thus invaded whereupon
a glutinous substance formed by the
dissolution of the seed will envelop
the foreign body SO that it may be
easily washed out. We cannot vouch
for this statement, but it is very
simple remedy and perhaps no harm
could result from givin it a trial.-Dr.

A Story to Tell Foreigners.
Omaha Bee,

81 suppose you never heard of burn
ing snow for fuel, did you?" SAID
man who is IN Omaha talking up iron
works. as he leaned across the corner
of the bar at the Paxton the other
night and chewed refectively on a
piece of lemon rind he had fshed out
of the bottom of a glass. well, it's
fact. I live in Pittsburgh you know
and in the winter its mighty cold
and seems to me 1t gets colder there
at the same degree of temperature
than in any other place ] have ever
been-aut, as I was saying, when it
gets mighty cold there and there's a
heavy fall of snow, you can see poor
people out all over the city with bas-
kets the next day, gathering blocks OF
snow to burn. You see there's SO
much coal smoke from the great iron
furnaces ia Pittsburgh that when the
snow reaches the ground it's almost
black, and there's really more c oal
cinders than snow. It burns almost
as well as soft coal, and a great deal
of suffering among the poor is thus
prevented That's another great argu-
ment in favor of iron works." And
he called for another piece Of lemon
in the bottom of glass.
