The Wooden Will Proposition.

At the council chamber last night
there was an enthusiastic meeting of
the citizens and the report of the
water power committee was heard.
There were no additional proposals
to disp ose of sites and the purchase
ofthe Gray power for $16, 900 was dis
cussed thoroughly.
The committee was enlarged by
the addition of Squire Farrar, H.
w. Cottle and Hendrix, with in
structions to inquire farther into the
desirability of the several sites and
to gain definite propositions from
all, as we'll as one from Thomas
Kay, late of the Brownsville wooden
mills, who it is expected will build
the mill.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that these performances be executed
with the greatest possible speed.
The meeting adjourned to meet at
call of the chairman, Immediately
after the holidays if favorable option
can be secured on the purchase of
the building sites.

Beet Sugar Possibilities.

look at the site selected for the pro-
posed beet sugar factory in Salinas.

Bismarck ut Home.

A German paper publishes some inter.
esting details of the daily life of Prince
Bismarck. Everybody knows, says our
contemporary, that the Prince hardly
ever gets up before noon, unless he has
to attend an important Parliamentary
meeting. But it must be remember ed
that he only goes to bed after working
till A. NJ, every night. In the Chan
cellor's bedroom a lamp is kept burning
all the night, numbers of messages often
requiring his personal attention being
brought in during the night. In con-
sideration of the late hours kept by the
Prince, supper is served late in the even
ing, and seldom finished before mid
night. Beside the Princess Bismarck
Count and Countess Rantzau partakes of
almost every meal, regularly leaving the
palace at l0:45 p. NJ, when second
class cab always takes them home. Bis
marck's birthday is always great feast
and holiday for the servants of the house.
In the kitchen q barrel of wine is pro-
vided by Princess Bismarck, two bands
are in attendance, and the servants fam
lilies appear on the scene. The Prince
comes down, talks with the guests, and
W liAO hO
pleasant relations between master and
servant are also evident from the fact
that the Princess always gives six Easter
eggs to each of the servants. The do
me>tlc pIlice for the Prince consist of
a Sergeant and eight constables. If the
Prince is away from home four consta-
bles 20 with him aud four remain at The
house, and all of them are entitled to ar
rest any suspicious person, be it at Ber-
lin, at Friedrichrsruh, or at Varzin. 1t
was at Varzin whe Bismarck's large
dog Sultan was poisoned. The Prin-
cess declared at the time that she would
make provision for life for anyone who
could point out the prisoner. Sultan
was more intelligent than Tyras, blh
Tyras is more faithful of the two, and
will take food out of the hand of any
member of Prince Bismack's family, but
never from a servant, as one of the foot
men has lea ned to his regret. 1t is
well known that at Berlin the Chancel-
lor is rarely seen, and only some of the
inhabitants of the Vor Scrape have the
privilege of seeing him sometimes walk
ing in his grounds.

A Sceptic as to HydrOphObia.

Recent alleged cases of death by hydro
phobia moves c. J. Peshall, who is one
of the greatest authorities living on
canine lore, to again lift his voice against
a belief in the existence OF the much
dreaded disease.
II do not believe, he says, ''there is
any such disease as rabies. Dogs, like
other animals, must pay the debt of ma
ture aud die from disease. A dogs brain
may become affected from disease, and
when so affected the animal may even
bite his own master, but if the wound is
properly treated by a physician no bad
effect will follow. History teaches us
that for thousands of years the dog has
been domestcated and has become the
almost constant companion of man.
That man has made the most extensive
use of this animal in every way, and /
now think it is time we should begin to
give the dog his dues, and do justice 70
him and his race. .-GrdDhte

Rrain DeYhlonment.

The man who possessed the heaviest
brain yet weighed was an American
blacksmith, who does not seem 10 have
been otherwise remarkable, even for the
excellence OF his iron work. Since that
time, however, though great pains have
been taken to ascertain the brain weight
of celebrated men, not one record exists
of the brain weight of famous women.
The brain of George Eliot was specially
remarkable. The following passage oc-
ours in her life: "Mr. Bray, the enthu-
siastic believer in phrenology, was so
much struck with the grand proportions
of her head that he took Marian Evans
up to London to have a cast taken. He
thinks that, after that of Napoleon, her
head showed the largest development,
flom brow to ear, of any person re-
corded. - WOmaa's Wrld.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRs
The Kitchen Tnhle-

Among the very necessary things in a
kitchen is a good-sized, substantial table
of white wood or pine viii h is needed
for ironing and baking days. 1t should
have three drawers; large one for hold
ing the shirt boards, ironing sheets and
holders, and two smaller ones for spoons
and knives used in crockeJy. 1t is also a
good plan to keep the cook book in one
of these drawers. Abo, e this table can
be fastened hanging rack for ironing
days. This can be closed against the
wall when not in use, but will be found a
great saving in time and labor. as no one
can quite estimate the number of steps
taken from the table to the clothes rack
when one finds it necessary to hang up
each article as soon as it is ironed.
