they had pulled out of Haley about

communication was cut off between
Haley and Bullion by a slide, but
the connection was kept with the
Idahoan mill. 1t was then learned
that the doctors got that far towards

AT the last anti Chinese meeting
in Boise City, books for membership
were opened and fifty-6ve names were
enrolled. A committee of FIVE clti-
zens was appointed to act as a bureau
of labor and to visit the citizens of
Boise City for the purpose of ascer-
tanning their views, etc. A committee
of three was also appointed to confer
with the Knights of Labor. 1t was
"Resolved that the Chairman be in
structed to call regular meetings,
such meetings not to exceed ten days
apart" Ore resolution reads as fol-
lows: "Resolved, that we the citi.
zens of Boise City and vicinity, deal
with the Chinese as a domestic evil
and nuisance, using first every legiti.
mate means to extricate ourselves
from this gigantic curse" The mem
bers of the Boise City anti Chinese
league have resolved to use their in.
luence against every person who may
try to impose the Chinese upon tina
community. We take the above ex

FRUIT PRESERVES.

How the First Fruit COnserves Were Made
by the Dweiiers in the Orient.
The best fruit preserves are made by
boiling down the juice without any adj
dition till it thickens. The natural gum
and sugar present in most fruits, only
need concentration to form either strip
or jelly, but the practice has bsen SO
long to use sugar for 4 more rapid pro-
cess at the expense of flavor, that the
earlier and better method is all but for.
gotten. The first CONNECTIONS and con.
serves of fruit ever known were made
in this manner, in the rich valleys of
Persia and northern India. a process
doubtless learned from dates, grapes.
figs and nectarines curing themselves On
the bOugh in favorable seasons, drying
in their own sugar crystallizing round
the stem. The grape juice thickening
on the sides of the wine press in the sun
would teach some one more intelligent
than his fellows to try evaporating the
juice on slabs of stone. and the honey so
made was delicious enough to fix the
process in favor. For, the classic scrip
ture of the Syriac land flowing with milk
and honey, meant not merely the giant
combs of wild bees in the clefts Of the
rock. but that delicate nectar which dis

may see it in ahot summer, in the dead

A FOOLS PHILOSOPHY.
Some Conclusions Whose Elaboration Re
Quired Bushels of Thought.

Some Conclusions Whose Elaboration Re-
quired Bushels of Thought.
A lantern is better than no fire on q
cold day.
The man who boasts of his war re-
cord bowls the loudest when he is wear
ing mustard plaster.
He who points with pride to his re-
cord generally makes for an alley when
ne sees the grocer coming.
The man who is willing to show the
editor how to run his paper has gener-
ally failed at every thing he tried.
The biggest fool on earth is the young
man who throws up situation where
he makes eight dollars week to sell
patent machines on commission.
The next biggest is the one who sends
q long article signed Citizen" to the
papers and expects to see it printed.
The writer of this is always glad and
happy because he knows that he is a
fool and does not try to conceal the
fact: all other people imagine they are
smarter or more beautiful than their
neighbors. and thus they are miserable
because their neighbors don't agree
with them.
A very grotesque fool is the young
man who buys red lemonade at the
circus when there is hydrant within
a block.
1t is strange, but true, that the polit-
est man at the festival is the greatest
hog at home.
Nero was a great man: so was Bona
parte; but greater than either of them is
the man who can sit down on hand
full of tisil-hooks and say that it is nice
day.
The young man who asks hotel
keeper If he can have home comforts at
his house is too fresh for this world.
He should be turned over to a pickle
manufacturer
The merchant who will never adver-
tise in newspaper is the one who sends
out a man with a bucket of yellow paint
to decorate the fences. And the man
goes to sleep and spills the paint on his
overails, and that is che reason why I
think that the Foolkiller has but fairly
started with his labors.-Sl Louis

Cigars and Coffee.

"a c'gar tastes best when accom-
panied by cup of aromatic coffee after
luxurious repast," most smokers will
say. Speaking in the abstract. the
coffee does not enhance the cigar, nor
vice versa. but the fact is that nature
gives a hint how to coun:eract injurious
effects upon the gustatory nerves. 1t is

degree of contemplative comfort which
is the desideratum of every smoker

The Birthplace OF Abraham.

Not far from Aleppo is situated the
little town of Orfah (the ancient Ur of
Chaldees). which is of great his
:orica interest it having been the
birthplace Of the patriarch Abra-
ham. There are few Jews in the
place, but the Arabs still point out a
small building lying outside the town
which they declare to be the house
wherein Abraham first saw the light,
and which they therefore term Belt ell
Chalil (the house of the friend of God).
1t is most improbable that the actual
house should have stood for thousands
of years; but the building in question
is Of great antiquity. By its present
owner, an Arab peasant, IS we'll as By
the Arabs generally, it is held in the
utmost veneration-the more SO since
it is feared that within few years. it will
fall to the ground.-Jewisa Chronicle.
