To School Teachers.

We have received some very lengthy
and complicated School Reports from vari.
Gus sections of the county this week. We
are always pleased Ia publish anything
which will prove Of interest To our read.
crs but We are of the opinion iha, such
lengthy report are not interesting and
when they all come in together they &c.
cupy too much space in the newspaper
that should be given to news items. We
are sure the parents appreciate the
thoughiiulness of teachers in having these
reports published, hut We think that II
100 be taken as II perfection mark, and all
the names Of those who get 20 per cent.
aud over in all studies, DE pnblished,it will
cause the children TO take more interest in
some studies which they would other
wise neglect. We have taken the priyi.
lcge Of arranging the following School
Report from Stockton according to our
ideas. II is n great deal less work for the
printers and we believe the publication Of
such reports will cause the children to
work faithfully Ia get their names in the
mcrit0riOus list:

man giving his name as William Han
sen, walked into Lipman & Cos store
and asked to see their stock of gloves
After looking at several styles he slipped
a pair down the siGe of the show case
and afterwards put them in his over
coat. The clerk who was waiting on
him noticed this through the show case
and after showing him several more
pairs the CLERK called attention to the
theft. lhe pilferer took off his over
coat and told them to search him. A
thorough search revealed the missing
gloves in the lining OF the overcoat. The
police were called and the culprit was
lodged in Jail TO await the action of
Judge Pyper on Monday.

Duties of Miners.

The papers m all mining districts are
 urging miners to contribute mining items
 for publication in their local columns.
 Miners should heed these appeals, for if
 they look over the Denver dailies, as
 also the mining papers of San Francisco,
 St. Louis, Chicago and New York, they
 will find that the majority of the min
 ing items appearing in their local news
 papers are copied in metropolitan pa
 pers. The miner should understand
 that although his local newspaper may
 possibly have somewhat of limited circulation, 1t has also an exchange list, which gives medium through which we'll written articles can reach thou sands of readers all over the world Support your home paper whether you 1 dislike its editor or not, even ii you dc not fancy its appearance. The press + 1 friendly to the mining interests without l regard to locality, and no charges art 1 made for publishing facts about th' progress at mining enterprises.

There is no more profitable industry that can be engaged in, m q small way, than raising of fowls. The demand for eggs, as we'll as fowls for the table, greatly exceeds the supply here, and both have been imported from Kan sas. As an illustration of what can be done in this way, Mrs. A. B. Mitchell, who resides near town, last year cleared over $2OO from flock of chickens of about one hundred, and was absent in the spring at the time when her hens should have been setting. She feeds we'll, her feed bill for the year being about $50, but from the sale of eggs alone, during the year. she received a profit above this cost of nearly lOa per cent. Mrs. Chester Thomas, two years ago, had similar experience, realizing about the same from the sam number of chickens. Although their chicken
 houses are kept neat and clean and thu
 best of care given to the fowls, the tims taken for their care was mere trifi, and not missed from other duties. An
 important factor in the profits is the ex
 pense item of feed. it is returned two
