The fact is. t1is person is thorough

The fact IS, tillS person IS thoroughly American We do like to be scared. As to tho second characteristic, the indiffer- ence to home, we shall never be anything but roamers. Perhaps as Americans be- come more and more imbued with for eign customs they will cultivate the tan cestral hall'' feeling and throw out those roots which must cling to the hearth stone where their fathers have sat before them. The American constitution, the laws of this happy country, are not ex- actly in accord with family roof trees, however much they may be with the genealogical specimens, but why as soon as a rich man has builded himself palace and filled 1t with treasures he wants to get out and build another is unaccount able, save that, being American, he can not help himself
 It is not merely the unrest of posses sion that seizes him. He is impelled by love of change, that natural fckleness which makes him dissatisfied with that particular side of the street or the archi- tectural plan of certain rooms, and so in brace of years the palace is to let fur nished or it is in the market, and milord, with his family, wandering in the four quarters of the globe.-Boston Herald.

Better rhan Hotbed Processes.

"Better know one thing well than many indifferently,n was the rule by which the children of the last generation were trained, while good education was thought to be a growth of years and careful, patient study, and not to be forced by the hotbed process now too much in vogue. It was thought, too, that no education could be complete un- less there was first solid foundation on which to build, the bottom layer of said foundation being thorough knowledge of reading, writing and spelling, geog raphy, arithmetic history and grammar. These are homely accomplishments, but far more necessary to one's success in life as a scholar than mere smattering of the higher branches and an ambitious attempt at an essay, which may have ir it fine figures of speech, borrowed from some text book, and classical allusions taken from the encyclopedia, but is still lamentably at fault so far as writing and spelling and grammar are concerned Mary J.

Deleterious Effects of Snow.

A recent article by Herr. R. Sendtner in the ''MeteoroloGsche Zeitschrift' tends to prove that the works of art in the streets and squares of cities are more liable to decay than those in the country, and that this decaying process is more rapid nowadays than it was forty or fifty years ago. The writer attributes 1t not only to the changes of temperature in general, but more especially to the variations of temperature near the freezing point. the freezing of the water in the pores of the work of art hastening the decay, in con- sequence of the sulphurous and sulphuric acids, arising from the increased use of coal. These deleterious ingredients mix ing with the rain, fog and dew act like diluted sulphuric acid on the surfaces of statues, monuments, etc., be they of stone or bronze.
 Worse than all these, however, is the effect of the snow, which absorbs those acids to a remarkable degree. Fresh fallen snow in Munich, for instance, con- tained seven to eight millgrammes of acid to each kilo of snow; and the same proportion was noticeable at Forstenried, about eight kilometers from the city. The same quantity of snow, after having re- mained on the ground fortnight, showed ill Munich sixty-one milligrammes, while at Forstenried the proportion had not altered in the least; hence the snow in the city must needs have more delete rious effect than that in the country. This also is the reason why the public monuments in Berlin are always covered at the approach of winter.-Berliner I Tagblatt.

The Origin of a Common Saying.

''The divinity students broke out again, said the young man that boards on South Division street. ''We were sitting at dinner today, and Miss Staggs she up and says one of her pupils will never set the river on fire. The divinity student looked up and said: I see that you, like other good people, are in error occasionally What do you meanp said Miss Staggs, getting red in the face. I mean, said the divinity student, that when you talk about setting the river on fire you are using an old saying that's got off the track. It used to be, Hell never set the Thames on fire," and people when they said it had in mind the river Thames; on the contrary it means miller's sieve, called temse, which was used in the old wind and water mill days. This temse had wooden rim, which slid back and forth in wooden frame. If the man that worked it was energetic in his work he sometimes set the temse on fire from friction. Hence it was said of a dull, slow person that he would never set the temse on fire, and the saying has been corrupted to it's present form. '- Buffalo Courier.

"Pedro Farmers."
Lodi Sentinel.

San Joaquin county, as well as all other counties, has its share of what is commonly termed "pedro farmers" !" everywhere you go in California .theF can be found fitting around in public places. You hear them say that you. cant make living on the small tract of land by fruit raising, vegetable grow Ing, or dairying, because they can't do It. It IS absolutely true that man cannot plant trees, raise vegetables or poultry, or even pay his bills and sit around towns or public places, and you cant do 1t either. You are told t hat it useless to raise fruit for it won't pay and that 1t is folly to expect to beat China man Tn gardening or small fruit raising.
 We don't think you can be ''pedro farmer and beat anything except your creditors. You will find the "pedro farmer in all trades, in all localities; and against all enterprises. Even iu Stockton the animal bobs up serenely and makes sths usual foolish exhibition of itself by attempting to obstruct local legislation in the interests of all our inhabitants. We congratulate the country that these ''pedro farmers" are fast losing ground in San Joaquin, that they are being relegated to the level to which they belong, and the spirit oi fruit raising, honest farming, and the l introduction of water and irr igation plans are sounding the last kne Il: of the 1 "pedro farmers"

The horse that sells for s20O and up- wards costs no more to raise than does the horse that sells for $50. The stock men of the west must realize this before they will ever enjoy the full benefit and profit of the horse breeding business.
 When they do, and not till then, will horse breeding take it's true place in the stock growing sections of the west. Be
 tween them, Arizona and New Mexico day possesses not less than 8 hundred thousand head of horses, but notwith- standing this vast number both territor- ies were unable to furnish the United States government with enough charges 10 mount the small cavalry force station ed in each, although the prices offered by the government were unusually good. while the type of horse required was not particularly high one.--Hoof and Horn.

THERE is splendid field now open for the rapid development of the mining interests in a manner hat promises great good to the country as well as large pro fits to those who engage in lending the miner hel ping hand. It is suggested that number of gentlemen pool say hVe hundred dollars each for the purpose of fully developing such promising mining prospects as present themselves upon such liberal terms as almost any miner will readily offer. A few thousand dol lars judlciously expended in this manner will generally open up a mine that will sell for quite large sum of money, an l by this means the prospector secures a handsome competence at once while the association is reim bursed and also shares in the profits. It is one of those pecu- lar schemes in which all parties are ben cited

Indians Go a Junketing.

A delegation of seven Indians from San Carlos, namely, Bu-it-ish, Els kim in-zin, Chit -chu-an-a, Santos Towlcli, Smily and Robert Macintosh, arrived here on Saturday last in charge of Lieu tenant Watson, and took the regular east bound train. They will first be taken by Lieutenant Watson to Wash ington to have talk with the "Great Father" after which they will visit the principal Eastern cities. The idea is to impress them with the greatness and magnitude of the power of the pale face. Two or three of the Indians are chiefs, and are all leading men in their tribes. Robert Macintosh, who goes as inter preter, is young full-blood San Carlos Apache He was educated at the Indian school at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and is employed as teacher at the Agency school at San Carlos.

What Physicians and Lawyers Earn.

Says a west side physician: Probably the most lucrative medical practice in Chicago is worth about $25, 900 year. That is the best the most successful phy- sician in Chicago can do. Doctors do not earn as much as lawyers. I mean the successful ones. suppose there are a dozen or more lawyers in town who make more than $25, ,000 year, and score or so enjoy an income of from $15,U00 to $20,000 year. You can count on the fingers of your two hands the number of doctors making $10,000 a year. One of them is colored man, whose practice is largely among white people. Yet the average earnings of the physicians of the city probably exceed the average earnings of the lawyers. The average in both professions is start Iingly low, probably not to exceed $1 ,000. There are hundreds of good openings for physicians in the growing country of the west, but young men persist in cinging to the city, where many of them eke out an existence on an income of $500 or s400 year, waiting for something better to turn up. p."-Chicago Herald.

Russian Cities Fire Department.

The same precautions against fire are aken in Moscow and St. Petersburg to- day that were in use a century ago. Scores of fire towers are everywhere seen. They run up about seventy to 100 feet, are built like lighthouse, with winding stairway, and have a platform all around the top, where the watchman patrols day and night. If a fire is dis covered a signal is given and the fire de- partment turns out. It was only recently that St. Petersburg, the capital, with hundreds of millions of government prop arty, secured a steam fire engine. And that is poor, old fashioned affair. The hand engine does service there yet, as in most other cities in the empire. When a fire breaks out the streets are cleared for such department display as an Amer ican town would make; people go wild, talk loud, get in the way, and when the fire burns out the department goes back to watch the towers for another signal Moscow Cor.

To Make Advertising succcsru,.

The successful advertiser is the one who can attract and hold the reader. In stead of worrying over the number of words he can crowd into given space, he studies long over the development of something novel He plans his adver- tisement to catch the eye, writes it briefly and pointedly so that it will be read, tells in it the salient features of what he has to say, and changes it as often as policy or his contract with the paper will permit. To bright pushing advertiser a small space in the paper is often worth more than double the space is to his duller competitor, who frequent ly over-reaches himself. Many of the latter class of advertisers also make the mistake of advertising periodically, thinking that loud sl ont occasionally will make up for silence the rest of the year. The small steady stream, well directed, will do more execution than the bucketful thrown on occasionally and scattered in the throwing. There is, i'll fact, more need to advertise dur ing the dull season, when you want trad e than when your store is crowded to the doors with customers; and it is in the dull season when money is perhaps scarce, that people look further and read advertisements more closely.-Ex.

Another "Dakota Story"

The following is given on the authori- ty of dispatch from Sioux Falls, Dako- ta: 'The biggest authenticated blizzard story of the season comes from Aurora county. When the great storm of Janu- ary 18th swept over the county, Eric Johnson, farmer, near Plankinton, was watering his cattle some distance from his buildings. He used his utmost exer- tons to drive the cattle home, but with out avail, and very shortly they, as well as himself, were exhausted. Among the drove of cattle was a very large OK, which soon became bewildered and laid down to die close to where Johnson was foundering in the snow. At this mom ent Johnson, who was making frantic efforts to save himself, was seized with an inspiration which impelled him tc quickly kill the OK, disembowel him, and crawl inside After drawing the sides of the stomach together he was complete ly sheltered from the terrific storm by the warm carcass of the OK, and passed the night in safety and compara rative comfort When morning dawned, however, anc he endeavored to crawl out of his pecu liar habitation, he discovered to his hor TOT, r,that the OK was frozen solid, his knife outside, and himself secure prisoner He kept up shouting at intervals unti 2 o'clock, when his cries were heard by parties who were hunting for his frozel body, and he was helped out of the hole none the worse for his peculiar experi ence."

It is reported that the plan will be tried early in the spring. These Instructions apply to the squadrons at Portsmouth, Davenport, Holyhead, Queenstown, Sherness, Hull, Kleitt and in the Clyde. The channel squadron has also received instru ctions, but it's position is kept secret.

TWO AMERICAN TRAITS.
We Are People of Runagates and Prof.
 ligate Spendthrifts.

ngate Spendthrifts.
 Two of our national characteristics are going to preserve the equilibrium of these blessed United States. In the first place the American love of danger, in the sec ond place the American indifference to home Few Americans, who are the most reckless of mortals, are only happy when tempting fate or daring Providence through some medium of mental excite ment and personal danger. It will be difficult to convince future historians of us as a race that we did not prefer rid ing on can of dynamite to reposing on an innocuous down cushion. The love of self preservation which is implanted in man seems to be entirely subservient to the love of peril in the average Ameri- can. A rather nervous individual re- gently assured me that the tremor which assailed him when he first began to travel on the elevated railroads in New York always added zest to his ride, and when custom wore away that feeling he was quite wretched.
 What did you wish should happen to you?'' I asked, to humor what I believed to be an affectation.
 "Just what did happen the other day, 7" he responded, with slight shrug of his shoulders. ''I wanted to be in an acci- dent. I never have been in an accident and have done some pretty risky things. It is probably the same feeling that i'm pels boy to skate on thin ice, walk on peaked fences and scoot across a railroad track when the engines coming. My theory is that half of the great inven- tions are the results of innate reckless ness. The inventor of electricity may have been thinker, but he was boy first! And do you believe timid woman would ever have dreamed of building an L road? She likes it now she has got it, for the gentler sex are proverbial for rushing in where angels fear to tread, and who among your acquaintances would hesitate to cross the ocean in four days if any means could be invented to condense the voyage to these brief di- mensionsf''

SOME of the farmers of this valley are preparing to cut their first crop of hay for this season, and from six to eight cuttings will be made on alfalfa fields during the year. The peach, apricot and fig trees are already covered with young fruit, and from two to four crops will mature before the season closes. The grape vines are starting forth their yer dure and they too will give two or three crops during the year. In like proper
 ton this wonderful soil and climate pro duces everything requisite for the eoua- fort of mankind, and surely there is nc reasonable man in the world who could ask more in return for the very smal outlay in money and labor required.

Poisoned Salmon.

The city health officer of Cleveland, Ohio, has discovered a startling state of affairs in connection with the sale of can ned salmon, the eating of which has poisoned several families in this city. Canned salmon generates gases and be- comes terribly poisonous. The gas al ways makes the top of the can bulge. This sign is a sure enc, but some un- scrupulous dealers have way of fixing the cans. The cover is bored, allowing the gas to escape. The can is then placed in hot water and the top resumes its nat ural shape. The bore is then neatly fill. ed. No one should buy canned fruit or meat without having examined the cover in order that they may be sure that il has not been bored. A box of salmon was shown which had been bored severa times to allow the gas to escape. It was probably five or six years old and is un doubtedly putrid
