The committee who were appointed
to fix up the court room for the dis
trict court, say that there is not half
the money forthcoming to pay for the
work that was ordered, They haye
done all that could have been done
with the money in hand, and the
committee have gone security for
about 500 worth of work that will
possibly have to be paid for out of

buquerque Democrat.
1t is a grave misfortune that has be-
fallen the Santa Fe railroad people
again. The washout in the Mora
canon, sweeping away three or four
miles of track and thres splendid iron
bridges, will entail loss of no small
proportions, besides causing great in
convenience to the people on this side
of the break. When the same section
ofroad was washed out few years ago
it proved TO he very costly and
troublesome matter, the location be-
ing such that transfer over the break
is practically impossible. Coming so
soon after the snow blockades in Kan
sas and Colorado, with the immense
expense and losses incurred, it will
not be very encouraging to the stock
holders in the road. People who
only estimate as to the actual cost of
operating a railroad when everything
is in good working order, should re-
member that these interruptions are
very costly and must be provided for
just rs the ordinary expenses of op-
Grafton. Probably by the time this
part of the road is open the floods of
the Rio Grande will have washed out
openings in the line this side of the
present bre ak. 1t is the more unfor-
tunate, occurring just at this time
when trans are running SO heavily
loaded-from two to four sections in
each passenger train-and when the
movement Of freight is taxing the
road to It's utmost capacity. Ell Paso

SENATOR PAYNE of Ohio

sENAToR PAYNE of Ohio, very nat
urally protests against the action O
the Republican majority of the bri
berry investigating committee which
was endorsed by the Republican ma
jority of the legislature. The whole
investigation partook of the nature oil
a grand jury session. The doors
were closed, no opportunity was given
for a defense and the testimony was
all of hearsay character. The report
however is likely to have little effect.
Those who believed that money was
cnrruptly used still believe it and
those who did not are as firmly con.
vinced. The United States senate
will take no cognizance of the matte,
unless Senator Payne demands it.

HORNS OR NO HORNS.

The Farmers Review in discussing
this topic which is now exciting con-
siderable discussion among cattle
growers, says: "When it comes to the
dishorning of all horned cattle on the
general principle of utility, we prefer
to withhold our Judgment until such
time US we have an opportunity to see
the operation performed, and judge
for ourself of the degree of suffering
caused by it. But we fully believe in
the prevention of horns, the removal
of the insipient horn from the head of
tie calf as soon as it is perceivable to
the touch, and also believe in breed
ing off the horns by the use of thor
oughbred bulls Of the polled breeds.
But owners of pure horn breeds will
not cross their cattle with polls for the
sake of getting rid Of horns. The
remedy is prevention of growth, and
we hope ere long to see hornless Here
fords, ShortHorns, Ayrshires, and
other breeds shown at our fairs, the
horns having been prevented from
growth by the use of the knife on the
young calf. In a state of nature horns
were needed for defense; but in do.
nestle stock there is no such need.
They are only used for offense against
the human family or other animals,
and the sooner we get rid Of them by
breeding them off, or preventing their
growth the better II will be for the
country and the stock farmers"

Fast Horses Did It.

A correspondent writes the New York
Tribune: On railroad train far up in
Vermont l fell in with j. p. Atkinson,
wealthy farmer of that State Inquiring
the price of improved farm land, l was
surprised to hear him quote such low fig
ures as S15 to $50 per acre. He told me
that the same land that could now be
bought for this price formerly brought as
high as $40. His explanation of this re-
duction in value was given in this language:
"The young fellows won't work; the old
men can't, Those who will work have
gone off to the West Those who remain
care more about fast horses and other fast
things than about farming. Look about at
any of the railroad stations and you will
see scores of sulkies standing around.
When farmer or farmers boy gets a
fast horse the farm goes to the dogs pretty
quick. You can't hire farm help even at
big prices. Men have got above it, want
to live by their wits or on what their faith
ers accumulated When David Hill took
the famous old Black Hawk stallion into
Addison county he caused loss in the
value of farm property there equal to a
million dollars. He found Black Hawk
in dray at Lowell, Mass. 1t would have
been better for the State of Vermont if he
had never found him. Why, it literally
demoralized the farmers all over the State

Thirst in Hot Weather.

We venture to hope, says the Lancet in
concluding careful examination Of the
subject, that those who are zealously urg-
ing the policy of refusing to quench their
thirst in this hot weather because drinking
makes people more thirsty, win reconsider
their policy from the physiological stand
point, and that they will recognize that to
thirst and drink, and perspire and drink
again, are the natural steps in process by
which nature strives to maintain the in
tegrity of those organic changes which the
external heat has tendency to impede.
The natural and true policy is to supply an
adequate quantity of fluid without excess.
Therefore, do not abstain from drinking,
but drink slowly, SO as to allow time for
the voice of Nature to cry aenough. !"
There is no drink 80 good as pure water.
For the sake Of flavor, and because the
vegetable acids are useful a dash Of lemon
juice may be added with advantage. The
skin should be kept fairly cool, 10 that a
sufficient quantity Of the fluid taken may
] pass off by the kidneys.

Coke. and How it is Made.

Coke is the solid product left when all
the moisture and gaseous matters have been
expelled from bituminous coal. There are
two kinds: gas coke, which is obtained
from the retorts of gas-works, after the
gasses have been separated; and oven coke,
which is made by burning the coal in a
kiln, with little exposure to the air. Gas
coke produces but feeble heat, and though
it is used to a considerable extent as fuel
in cities, being cheap sort, it is regarded
by manufacturers as mere cinders. Oven
coke, ON the other hand, is capable of pro-
ducing intense heat, and is valued for use
in furnaces or smelling metals, and also in
locomotives of underground railways, where
the smoke of bituminous coal is very un-
desirable. At mines of bituminous coal,
coke is made in large quantities, as in its
manufacture all the fine refuse coal, screen
ings and coal dust, that would otherwise
be thrown away, can be utilized. Two
methods Of coking are in use One is, by
burning the coal in ovens of fire brick
made for the purpose, these being usually
about twelve feet square and ten feet in
height A door is made near the TOP
through which the coal is put in, space
being left for it to swell, while holes in the
coverings of the oven allow the escape Of
the gases. The coal is then ignited from
below, and trench under the oven admits
the air necessary for combustion. About
forty y-eight hours are necessary to complete
the coking process, The other method Of
making coke is by burning it in the oper
heap. 1t is piled in long ranges, often con
tanning many hundred tons over shallow
trench or air passage extending their en-.
tire length. The heap is then fred, anC
when it is once thoroughly afre coke dus
or ashes is heaped upon it; and when thor
oughly covered in this way the fire is lef
for several days to smother and cool, This
is wasteful process, as much of the heal
becomes ashes before the rest has beer
thoroughly coked. In some parts of Vir
ginia and other southern states beds o
! natural coke is found.
