CONTEST.

The E. City News says, "it is
rumored on the streets OF that town
that if the Republicans have major
ity in the next House of Representa-
tives the seat of Hon. Thomas @
Skinner, Congressman-electfrom this
district, will be contested although
his majority runs beyond a thousand"
If this is true, that contest is con
templated, it is no work of Mr..
White, the defeated candidate. Mr..
White is an honest man though badly
associated. Of his own accord, of
his own volition. we doubt exceed
ingly that he will take any s'eps to
defeat the known wish of the people
as he finds it honestly expressed,
throughout this entire district, at the
polls. If a contest is had at all, it
will be done at the corrupt instance
of few controlling politicians whose
party influence cannot be resisted
even by a man as honest as Mr.
White is reputed to be. To disobey
the Republican bosses is to loose
your political head. This, Mr..
White will be 10th to suffer and, it
may be, under conditions above
stated, he will attemp what, other
wise, might be considered fruitless
undertaking.

A Valuable Discovery.

g. o. Hayford, of Colfax, has made a
most interesting and what promises to b.
a very valuable discovery in the way OF
nut growing. Owing to observations
that the nuts of the black oak and the
Italian chestnut were similar in shell and
texture of meat, he concluded that the
latter might be successfully grated upon
the former, and last year tried the ex.
pertinent. He grated number OF small
oaks with scions from italian chestnuts
of previous years growth, and with the
most gratifying results. Nearly every
one of the gratis grew and attained a
remarkable height for single year. The
union between the stock and grated
section is excellent, and the new growth
gives specially vigorous and hardy ap.
pearance. There can be no doubt that
trees so grown will be equal if not su-
perior to the natural stock of the chest
nut, and from results of experiments In
other ingrafting it is believed that earlier
bearings will be secured. The outlook,
then, appears to- be that persons having
land upon which young oaks are grow
ing, may, instead of grubbing them out,
graft them, and thus soon have field of
thrifty italian chestnuts, without even
blowing the land. Thinning, however,
sufficient to permit the field being plowed,
would unquestionably inc :ease the ra-
pidity of growth and be desirable.

farm at Middletown, near Placerville, Ell

Found q Toad In a Stone.

Stories are occasionally published
about the finding of live toads impris:
oned in the thick walls of stone, and
doubtless most of these are considered
unreliable by the average reader. A
few days ago, however, Statesman re-
porter met Yonkers IN. W gentleman
whose veracity cannot be questioned,
and to the reporter this Yonkersite re-.
lated an interesting experience.
"Live toads in rock? Oh, yes, l
have heard of such occurrences, and In
fact 1 once found toad in such an en-
closure. 1t was in the year 1910, when
I was at work on the property now
owned by Robert P. Getty. We had
been getting out some sandstone, and
came to a chunk nearly q yard square:
When the piece was rolled over and
broken q small hole was found near the
center, and from this live toad jumped
out. The sandstone was porous, and for
that reason, probably, the toad had been
enabled to live"
Chow old DO you think the toad
was"
81 have never learned how old toad
may become, and have no means of
knowing how old that one may have
been. The sandstone must have formed
around the toad and have held him fast
there for two or three years, perhaps.

A Samoan Beverage.

ceous tree), and the liquor is then carried
round to each guest in order. OF course,
by the old school this mode OF prepara-
tion is thought very superior to the Ton:

differ somewhat, and the dash of human
secretion in the orthodox mixture pos
sibly promotes digestion an effect not

A Singular Case of Hearing.

Some time ago an engineer on the
Miami Railroad was suspended because,
after having been examined by DR. Clark,
he was found to be quite deaf. The
engineer claimed at the tine that he
could hear everything while running his
engine, but the doctor found that in a
still room he could not hear ordinary
conversation foot away. The engineer
lived at Cincinnati, and received treat
ment in that city for his disease, but
without any special benefit. After being
suspended eli ght months the engineer
again came to DR.. Clark and insisted that
he could hear perfectly while on moving
engine. The doctor thought he would
test the case, and, accompanying the man
to Cincinnati, made number of expert
ments with him on engines. The result
was that the doctor found the engineer
was not only telling the truth in regard
to the matter, but also that the deaf
man could hear low remarks and
whispers on moving engine that even
DR.. Clark's keen ear failed to catch. The
engineer was reinstated in his former
place. Columbus (oMo) Journal.

Implements of the Baseball Player.

81 can tell you few things about bats

not know" said one of the largest sport

professional clubs are about as near per-

The materials used are the best quality,
and some of them have to be imported
from the other side of the water. The
rubber centre and horsehide cover we can
get without much trouble, but the yarn

and have to be selected with great care.
The thread used in sewing the cover we
import from Scotland. We have
machine now with which we roll the
balls after the covers have been put on,
and if there is the slightest imperfection
in the roundness or in the stitching it
can instantly be detected and the ball is
thrown out. These balls are used in all
National League contests and retail at
$l.50 each. Even at that figure there Is
little profit in them for the makers. You
can buy balls from cents to 81 each,
but YOU will not get much service out OF

"FAME."

The master wrote his grand old name
Upon the whitened sands Of Time;
Above, be traced a land sublime
To speak forever of his fame.
Again he came; an hour, q day,
Had wrought a change upon the sand,
As tho an unseen, jealous hand
Had swept his laurels all away.
The singer sang tender lay
Unto smi ing, eager throng,
And dreamt her little, fleeting s4g
Would last in memory for aye.
Ayear. an age; she sought again
In broken voice and tattered gown
The chosen friends of her renown,
But sought remembrance all in vain.
A little child, in meadows green,
Danced gayly DER the budding flowers,
Nor counted laps Of fleeing hours,
Nor envied Fame her title-''queen."
The butterfly, in gaudy dress,
Was her especial care, the ices
Joined voices with her meath the trees
And this alone was happiness.
