 There is tea company in Los An geles that put money and jewelry into their cans of tea as an incentive to buy, and have published list of those who have drawn prizes.

 A Brooklyn crank named Kraus- kopf, and others, have presented a memorial to the United States Senate urging the government to establish a at every first class postoffice III the United States, to be published at the public epxense, to contain no advertisements, and the pages of the journal to be opened to anyone who may desire to say anything to the pub lie through its columns. The me morial IS written on thirty-six pages of legal cap, and bitterly denounces the press of the country as a powerful dynasty that will overthrow the Gov ernment, nnless it is checked or mag zled MT. Krauskopf and his brother petitioner evidently belong to the | class known to newspaper men as cranks," whose eff | fusions are constantly consigned to | the waste paper basket. The cranks evidently want an organ, but one at every postofiCe is something too much. Mr. Krauskopf should get up a stock to publish the kind of a paper he is hankering after. Editor Stead, who is just out of prison ard put of job, might be imported as 5he boss crank editor. Land Com- missioner Sparks, General Booth, of he Salvation Army, and Dr. Mary Walker might be induced to take ,harge of Editorial departments, while MT. Krauskopf's extensive cheek would eminently fit him for travelling to the concern. With such ln array of crank talent the great Lrmy of eranks throuhout the country would have an organ worthy of their patronage.

 One of the severest blows that Tombstone has ever received, was struck at to-day, in the closing up of the public schools. No fault can be found with the trustees for they are entirely out of funds. What will peo- ple abroad think of city of Tomb stones size whose citizens have not got vim enough to keep the schools open? Will it encourage people hay ing families to come here and live, and have their children grow up in ignorance? Think of these things tax payers, and the harm the clos ing of the schools will do the city, and we know that you one and all will cheer fully cast your vote in favor of the required tax, and have the school quickly re-opened.

1t may be said of the extravaganza
and fancifHlness of the present fashion
that, like the sword of Achilles, they
cure the wounds that they have made.
1t is well to dwell somewhat on the IA
c~ilities which the present fashion offers
to economy, since this kind of study is
profitable to the wealthy as well as to
those of modest means: both of whom,
on seeing a new fashion plate, can cx-
erclse their ingenuity by finding in
their stock of toilcttes the elements of
the latest fashion. But. in the interest
of good taste and harmony, it is i'm
portant to lay down laws which can
not be violated with impunitv. These
do not concern the combination of
stutfs, since ~velvets, woolens, plain,
striped and brocadcd stutiS are all worn
together without rrbukc: the point in
question is the colors that can not be
allied. The combinations Of colors ap-
proved by fashion are red and blue,
gray and blue, green and maroon, yell
low and nut-brOwn, bronze and emer-
ald-grcen. lemon or ecru and prune. l
only mention the leading features; there
are many shades of each color, and in
dividual taste and a colori,ts instinct
must determine which of these con-
trast best with each other. Since
dresses and wrappings are made of bits
of varied stutls. nothing is easier than
to construct one or more new toll |
cites ont of a number of old dresses.
1t is quite permissible for the over
dress to ditferfrom the undcr-Skirt, and
the corsage from both; nothing is cas-
Ter. therefore, than to combine two diff
fcrent dresses in such a way as to
make them serve a new purpose. And
what innumcrable facilities does this
caprice offer for economy. II the cor

vest or plastron; if the back is worn, a

the latter had q strong dislike for tn

day and seized the dog in her teeth. The do.
retaliated by biting the horses nose. The
two now thoroughly Infatuated brutes ther
fought desperately. The dog would sprint
at its foe only to be sent fying clear
across the barn. The wild neighs anC
kicking and banks attracted a number O
people to the scene, but none dare inter,

the sides Of the building in the attempt!
made by the horse to dislodge him. The
mare finally lowered her head, and, placine
her fore foot on the dogs body, literally
tore 1t of. In one of it's mad rushes the dog
was seized by the mare and thrown nearly
to the top OF the barn, but it returned tc
the fight Immediately.
At last the dog sank its fangs into the
fors-leg of the mare, and in attempting
to reach the dogs head the horse fell
directly on its foe and crushed its life out.

AN ELECTRIC LOG
A CRiifSrRian's Valuable and Success fnS
Maritime Invention.

The electric log invention by Ber-
nard Faymonville of this city was test
ed on the fe~rryboat San Rafael. Mr..
Eaymonville has brought electricity in.
to service, and by means of his inven-
ton the master of a vessel may recline
in his snug cabin and read off the
miles his craft is making at Ii time,
night or day. His log consists of a
brass cylinder, with four blades or
fins. The cylinder revolyes on its
swivels, practically frictionless, and
In turning acts upon a small cog
wheel inside, which causes q short in
terror cylinder to turn, and every
ten revolutions breaks the circuit.
The battery is on board the ship, and
the register or indicator is placed in
the captains cabin, or anywhere con-
venlent or desirable. There may be
several registers distributed for con-
venience over the vessel. The wires
for the outw ard and return currents
are attached at one end to the register
and the other to the log which is drag
ging behind the ship. Ten revolutions
breaks the circuit, and the mile hand
on the dial Of the indicator registers
one-tenth of a mile passed over, and
n passage of this hand around the
dial denotes a mile of distance, and
another hand moves forward one-tenth
OF ten miles. 1t passes around the
dial once in ten miles, and the third
and shortest hand passes around in
one hundred miles. When the San Ra-
fael had backed out If her slip and
headed for Sausalito, the log was
thrown overheard.
The little instrument worked almost
unerringly, seldom failing in its office,
and never from any fault in the prin-
ciple. Whatever defects appeared were
purely mechanical, and can be rene
died without any trouble. The rate OF
registering can be regulated to any
number Of revolutions. The correct.
ness of the work OF this instrument
was shown in the fact that, taking the
speed of the boat as indicated and the
time occupied in making the trip, it
gave the correct distance between San
Francisco and Sausalito-a trilc over
six miles. The log was in the water
both going and returning, and worked
well all the time. The results of the
trial were satisfactory to all who wit
messed it.-San Francisco Gull.
