The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-02-25

BY MARY Y. SCHUYLER.

Some day my cheek shall lose its bloom,
Tho flowers for me thoir rich perfume,
And mid the shades and gathering gloom
My feet shall stray;
Down. down tho dim descent of years,
Through wearing cares and burning tears
With heart helf fainting from sts fears,
III wend my way.
Some day my eyes shall DINNER grow,
MY hair turn white as winter snow.
My voice grow timid, faint, and low.
Ny mind decay;
But still my lonely path I'll tread,
And mourn, perhaps, my cherished dead,
Tine hopes and joys forever fed
So far away.
But oh some day when life slopes down
To the night shadows dim and brown,
hope to see a starry crown
Waiting for me.
Then ROBBED i'm calm content IN lilo,
With folded hands and fearless eye.
And yield my breath without Sigh.
Glad 20 be free.

Protection for the Birds.

The startling decrease in the num-
bers of many Of our birds, brought
about of late years by the unceasing
persecution waged for the sake of
fashion, has aroused the Ornitholo-
necessity for instant and decided effort
i'll behalf of our birds. The objects of
the committee are as follows:
]. The gathering of all possible in
formation bearing on the subjects of
the destruction and protection of North
American birds.
2. The diffusion OF information
among the people in respect to the
extent of the slaughter of birds for
millinery and other mercenary pur-
poses; the wanton killing of birds in
sport by men and boys; the robbing of
birds nests; the destruction of the
eggs of rails, terms, gulls and other
birds TO food; aud the marked recent
decrease of many species resulting from
this general destruction; the spreading
of information, also, in respect to the
utility of birds as natural check upon
the inc ease of insects injurious to
vegetation, and with reference to their
interest and value from an asthetic
point of view. This with the object oil
deve oping a pubic sentiment in favor
of the rigid protection of our native
birds, q sentiment that will naturally
spring up strongly and widely as soon
as attention is ca led to the subject.
The head uarters of the committee
are at the American Museum of Natural
History, Central Ia k, New York City
where the officers or any of the mem
bers may be addressed.

Wood worms can be destroyed in
books and woodwork by benzine. Books
are locked up in cupboard with a
SANGER of benzine. The insects. as
well as their larvse and eggs, soon die
of. Furniture and carvings are SINH
harly placed in room with dish of
benzine, and kept closed up for several
weeks, the time required for tho COM
plete destruction of the insects varying
according to the thickness of the wood.
New woodwork can be protected against
their entry by coating of glue, as,
living on vegetable substances, they do
not touch animal products.

A Yankee Trick.

When Plof. Frank Billings sailed for
France with the children from this city
WHO were treated by M: Pasteur he ex-
hiblted lamentable ignorance of the
French language 20 the passengers and
officers of the steamship Canada. In
Paris he was likewise ignorant, and
Pasteur was somewhat surprised that q
scientist should have been chosen to ae-
company the etpsdition who could not
converse with HIM without an interpre-
ter. He would have been more sur
pr;sed had he fol owed DIR. filings
home and heard HIM converse in elegant
and mastery French with Mrs. billings,
who is native-bo-n French woman.
In fact, the Professor kept it mighty
quiet in Paris that he was q finished
scholar. He had q laudable oh ect in
view in assuming ignorance. He went
to raris to Learn something, and know
ing that the Fren 'hmen are Jealous Of
their SO rets he wI'ely concluded that
he could learn moro by listening than
by asking questions. The ruse was
successful, and he came back the pos
SCISSOR of great deal moro information
about viruses than M. Pasteur is aware
not yet known to the scientific world. -

THE hummrng of telegraph and tele-
phone wires, so often heard, is gener-
ally considered to be caused by the
wind. Mr.. X. w. Mcbride, of Water
loo, Ind. who specreily studied the
matter for several years on his private
wire, whicn had strong gift of hum
ming, is satisfied that the wind is not
the agent; for he found the sound more
likely to DO hear on q dry, clear, COL
and calm evening than ut any other
time. He is also CONVINCED that tho
sound is not produced by electricity,
for he could detect no signs OF that
agent when the humming was going on.
while ut times when the wire was evi.
IDENTIFY charged there was no sound.

M. PLATEAU, the eminent Psychologist
OF Client, announces as the results of
years of study the discovery that in
sects are unable to distinguish one OBJ
iect from another by its outward shape.
For example, a fly cannot recognize the
person who is trying TO destroy il, nor
docs bee know just which one of a
group of persons il intends to sting.

A BUSINESS SYSTEM NEEDED

Since the disappearance of Mccarthy,
Clerk of the Supreme Court, there has gone
up a general demand for complete re-
formation Of the system of bookkeeping in
the judicial department of the State Gov
ernment-there is no system of checks and
balances, and stealing is as easy in some OF
noes as eating. Now, we have not the dis
position at all to shout we told YOU So"
but common fealty to the truth of history
demands that we remind our MANY cor
temporaries that two years ago and more
this journal pointed out this very fact to
the press, the people and the Legislature,
and for weeks urged action. And at that
time simple, effective and business-like
system Of bookkeeping was suggested. and
1t had the approval of the State officials
without dissent in a single department.
and many journals concurred in the sug
gestion and joined with us in the demand
for reform. Yet some other journals pooh
poohed the idea and cried out cred tapeu
while the Legislatures were altogether too
busy putting up Jobs 10 do nothing to give
the matter any consideration. About that
time and since large number of cases of
thievery developed, Just as in the fur
ture more will come to the surface. Better
some red tape" than so much dishonesty.
The plan suggested, ard so strongly an
proved at the time referred to, was simply
and only this: Permit no official 70 receive
a fee who does service, but require the
payment to be made to another than the
officer performing the act for which a fee
Is eharseable. Permit no payment into
one department without an auditing per-
NIT from another department. In
other words the plan was to extend
10 all departments system similar
TO that row established under the
law, between the State Controller and the
State Treasurer. That this system cannot
fail is admitted, il supplemented by an ex-
change of balances between the depart-
ments checking each other, at least fort
nightly. And this would be no great task
since 1t would lie very easy when a fee is
authorized, and fee is paid, for the two
departments to each make a duplicate en-
try, for exchange, at the time of settle
ment. The San Francisco Chroaiele de-
no'lnces the system Of bookkeeping in the
Supreme Court Clerks office, as travesty
on business methods aud a premium on
dishonesty. Yet we do not remember that
when the REcoRp-UNIoN used equally as
strong language some two years ago, and
applied 1t to most Of the State departments
receiving fees and urged legislative action,
that the Chronicle had word to say in the
interest of the proposed and much-needed

Views of "A Fruit-Grower.

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN Feeling a deep in
terest in the future of the fruit industry of
California, and believing that many of the
fcuit-growers have mistaken ideas in re-
gard TO the Fruit Union which is being
formed, l make these suggestions for the
consideration of stockholders:
First, the object of the Union is to adj
vance The Industry of fruit culture in Cas-
foTnia. This can only be done by enlarg-
ing the market This again can be done
only by cheapening transportation and OBJ
tanning additional shipping facilities. This
can best be accomplished by uniting the
shippers and working in harmony.
Whether man ships the fruit he grows or
buys it, cannot matter, nor whether the
man who buys the fruit he sllips or grows
it himself Getting paid for fruit at prices
that are satisfactory is the desirable result
to OBTAIN, whether person be small or a
large grower.
1t is fact that the more shippers there
are the more buyers there will be. and il is
fact which should not be lost sight of
that if the Union is depended mon TO
purchase from those who do not desire to
ship, they will require as large mar
gins for profit as individual buyers. And
1t IS also fact that if the Fruit Union be-
comes an exclusive buyer for the fruit
shipped it will become an immense mo-
nopoly, and the small dealers will have no
recourse, only to accept whatever NAV be
offered by the Union, or take their chances
Tor whatever they may get when
all losses and expenses are paid
1t is plain TO methat individuals, compa-
MES and associations can do the business
of shipping and marketing their own pro-
MI efh nr
cheaper and with more profit to the pro-
ducer than great monopoly. ANY bust
ness that men will engage in will be done
on as close margins as prudence and good
judgment Will permit, and it viii remain
fact that the more buyers we can have for
our first products the better prices We shall
get. There Is no doubt that the men who
have built up the shipping industry to its
present condition are the best helpers we
can have for the future. As free men. how
ever, We all want the option of sending our
fruit to the utmost corners OF the earth on
an equal footing with the most favored
Spectator. The Increase of the fruit
products cannot be stopped where thew are.
and we must provide for the future of this
great industry on q broad gauge system. by
inviting all who have the courage TO risk
their money, time and reputation in build
ing up and extending the markets for orr
fruit products, to join together on an equal
footing. 1t would be great misfortune to
the fruit-growers Of this State to have the
business of shipping fruit controlled by
one man or one set of men. Our only
safety lies in freedom and equality in ship
ping, and whether buyer be a grower or
not cannot matter. To the extent he will
buy and pay for fruit, he is benefactor TO
the producer. What we all want is the
privilege to sell at home or ship to the
most distant markets ON an equal basis.

GOOD FOR EAST AND WEST.

In his letter to the Supervisors of San
Francisco, Mr.. Morrow refers at length to
the determination of the authorities not
10 eountenance threats OF violence against
the Chinese right determination. But
it will occur that, while this principle of
maintaining the supremacy of the law and
protecting all aliens here under the laws
is properly applied in one case, it might
also be given application to cases at the
East. For instance, the sand-lot gather
ings being unlawful and damaging, and
threats against the Chinese being wrong
and demanding the interference of the
Government, are not the threats, menaces.
parades, incendiary assemblages and revo-
lutionary gatherings of the socialists and
destructionists in Chicago worthy some at
tention? There it is common thing for
gangs of rufiians to threaten TO burn, hang
and destroy, and to name the men and
the properties doomed by them. If the
foreigner is entitled to protection, how
much more is the citizen! If the sand-lot
of San Francisco is dangerous to the peace
OF the country, how much more so are the
communistic and anarchical gatherings in
the chief city of Illinois,
