Eight to the JSe Gf Water.


 The Legal Adviser gives to it. readers some information respect ing water rights, which has been z source of great trouble and mucl litigation. It is a generous princi pie, says the writer, that every owr- CT of land upon d natural stream oi water has right to use the water for any reasonable purpose not in consistent with a similar right in the owners Of the land above, be- low and opposite to him. He may take the water to supply his dwell- ng,to irrigate his land, or to Quench the thirst Of his cattle; to use it for manufacturing purposes, such as the supplying of steam boilers or the running of water wheels or eth CT hydraulic works, so long as such use does Tot sensibly and injurious ly affect it's volume But this is a mere privilege running with the land, not a property in the water itself.
 Where the stream is small, and does not supply water more than sufficient to answer the wants of the different proprietors living on the stream. none of the proprietors can use the water for either irrigation or manufacturing, but for domestic purposes and watering stock one proprietor will be justified in con suming all the water.
 Twenty years use adverse to the right of another will give the per son so-using the streamthe right to continue the use, regardless of the others rights.
 And as to the division of water, every one who owns land situated upon a stream has the following rights:
 1. To the natural flow of the stream.
 ?. That it shall continue to run in it's accustomed channels. 3. That it shall flow upon his land in its usual quantity, natural place and usual night. 4. That 1t shall flow off his land upon the land of his neighbor be- low, i'll it's accustomed place and at the usual level.
 These rights he has as all incl dent to the property in his land, and he cannot be deprived of it by grant or description.
 If any one shall make any change in the natural flow of stream, to the material injury of any owner situated upon it, or by any inter- ference shall prevent the stream from flowing as it was wont to flow,
  he is responsible for the damage he may occasion. These rights are subject to the privileges of each one to make q reasonable use of the water upon his own land while it is passing along the same. It mat lers not what the source of the wa ter may be, whether 1t be backwater pr tlle fowage of the same, or the water of another stream. Still, the division of a stream may be made by any one, if it be returned to it's natural channel before it leaves the premises.-Detroit Free Press.

Says Dr.J. P. Booth in his news

Says Dr. J. P. Booth in his news paper, "Our Bazoo," published at The Needles, California: When editors of newspapers allow their personal vindictiveness, and bitter partisan proclivities, to get the bet ter of them to the extent that they resort to indecent language, then we think the time has arrived to show such writers that their course. is anything but gentlemanly and pro- fessional. The profession is no- ble one, and any member of it who forgets himself so far as to place Ia the hands of a family, reading matter which the young and inno- cent may not read without detri- ment if not with benefit, is unwor- thy the honor of his high and nos ble calling. and the sooner he is un- loaded the better for us.

Hints About Horses.

IL costs more to keep poo horse than il does 10 keep goo' one.
 Change the iced for your horse. ofien enough to make them relisl 1t.
 Every time you worry youl horses you shorten their lives and days of usefulness.
 Sweat and dust cause the horses shoulders to gall. So do roor, il fitting collars.
 The temperature of water for horses is not so much an object as the purity oft While it is best to have the water cool, 1t is more important to have it free from all impurities.
 Mares in foal should have cxer- else and moderate work, and under no circumstances should they be subjected to harsh treatment, nor should they be ever be allowed to go where they would be in danger of being frightened.
 The horse which can nloW an acre while another horse is blowing half an acre, or that which can car ry a load of passengers ten miles while another is going five, indepen- dent of all considerations of ofamuse- mcnt, taste, or what is called fancy, is absolutely worth twice as much to the owner as the other.
 Affection cannot be pounded into animals. Kind treatment insures the affection of an animal, while rough treatment is sure to cause it's hatred.
 It is alike dangerous to other horses and mento spare the life of a glandered horse, Glanders is a highly contagious, incurable dis ease, and as rule fatal in the bu- man subject.
 When horse are suffering from the bites of flies or stings of other in sects, sponge the parts that cannot be protected by nets, with water in which insect powder has been mix ed-a tablespoonful to two gallons of water.
 Animals of vicious habits should never be used for breeding purposes, as vices are transmitted. By care ful breeding in this respect the dis positions of the animals can be par tIally controlled.
 Of two colts similar III dlsposl- tion and sense, one may develop into steady and valuable family horse, while the other may be every thing that is vicious, treacherous and unsafc-alI because of a differ ence in the men handling them.
 Plenty of whitewash should be used, not only for the brighter ap pearance, but also as a disinfectant. Hot whitewash on the inside of barns, stables, poultry houses and pig quarters, will aid in preventing vermin and insects.
 What the colt requires is plenty ofexercise, a clean place to sleep, shelter from bitter storms, plenty of good grass of different varieties, good, clean hay without dust, and good, sound oats. Colts raised in this way will not look so well, nor win as many premiums, nor sell for as much money, but they will last.-AIedical Classics.

What a Whang Is in Maine.

In the wisdom of the ages there has
come to be something in name. A
good housewife in suburb of Lewis
ton. whose reputation is of thrift, and
whose wits are as keen as the raZor's
edge, issued cards not long ago, it is
said, for an afternoon party ather home,
terming it "whang." A ''whang" is
an unknown term in that vicinity, al
though they had heard it employed in
metaphoric or symbolic or hyperbolic
sense many times TO the country Jubilee
Of various kinds. The good ladies who
were summoned didn't know what
to do OF how to dress, but they
went just the same, full of curiosity,
and in their most stunning tot
lets. The hour was early-viZ., l p. m.
when the larger part Of them started.
Bets were even against the field that it
was quilting bee, l to 3 that it was
rug bee, and even against the field that
II was Just an ordinary party. When
they got there they found the house in
disorder and everybody scrubbing for
dear life. A ''whang" is a houseclean-
ing party, and some of the ladies are
sorry that they didn't dress accord
tngly.

How 1t Looked,

Springfield Republican.
A story which has probably never
been in print is told on the authority of
Henry Wilson as to how Grant sue
ceeded in getting the resignation of
Postmaster General Jewell of his cab
met. The story runs that Grant and
over matter, when, without any
previous suggestion of the sub
ject, the president said to his
Cabinet adviser, Jewell, how do you
suppose your resignation would look
written Out?" Jewell, thinking the
question pleasantly of Grants, said
he would write it and see. "All right"
said Grant, ''you just take some paper
and write it down and see how it looks"
Jewell wrote and handed the paper to
Grant. The latter looked at it mo-
ment and replied: THAT looks well, 1
will accept that" He was in earnest
and Jewell was out of the cabinet.

THE WEATHER AND CROPS
1t Is Too Cold and Too Wet for Growing
Grain.
THE SEASON is BACKWARD.
no Improvement in Winter Wheat---In :
sects Reported Numerous in
Plants.

B WASHINGTON. May 2O.-The follow
ing is the weather crop bulletin for the
week ended Saturday, May 10, issued by
the signal officer: The average tenn
perature for the week ending May 10
has been below the normal in all dis
tricts east of the Rocky mountains. The
week was unusually cold throughout
the Northern states, the daily tempera-
,ture ranging from deg. to Il deg. be-
low the normal. The low tempera-
ture during the past week in
the Northwest and Upper Lake
region prolongs the period of cold
which has already rendered the season
unusually backward in those sections.
In Minnesota, Dakota, Wisconsin and
Iowa the season is from two to three
weeks later than usual. In southern
New England, the middle Atlantic
states and Ohio valleys it is about one
week later than usual. Throughout the
southern states the thermal conditions
differ but slightly from the normal.
Rainfall-There has been more rain
during the week than usual in the cen
trail Mississippi and Ohio valleys and in
the west Gulf states, and along the At
lantic coast north of HatteraS.
WEIL-DISTRBUTED SHOWERS
have occurred in the lake region, Upper
Mississippi and Missouri valleys in Ne
braska and Kansas, while there was al
most total absence of rain in the South
Atlantic states and Northern MiSSiS-
Sippi During the season, from Jan.
to May 10, there has been more rain
than usual over the entire region from
Minnesota and Dakota southwark to the
Rio Grande, large eXceSSeS being re-
ported from Texas, Western Kansas
Nebraska and Colorado. There
has also been more rain than
usual in Pennsylvania, New York and
the interior of New England. In the
states bordering on the great lakes,
the Ohio valley, Kentucky, Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee rainfall
for the season ranges from so to 80 per
cent of the usual amount. About two
thirds Of the usual amount of rain has
occurred in Florida and along the
Georgia and South Carolina coast, and
the Pacific coast north of San Francisco,
while in Northern Mississippi and East
ern Arkansas only about One-half OF the
usual rainfall is reported.
GENERAL REMARKS.
Reports indicate that throughout the
Southern states the weather has been
generally favorable for the growing
crops, although more rain is needed.
The cool nights have retarded the
growth of young cotton, which is, how
ever, reported in good condition. In
the gram regions of the Northwest and
Ohio valley the cold weather during the
week has prevented any marked i'm
proYement in the crop condition, not
Withstanding the abundance of rain in
those sections. Damaging frosts oc-
CURED from Michigan southwark to
Northern Alabama. Reports from Min
nesota state that the weather conditions
have been generally favorable for crops,
though too cold for rapid growth. Re
ports from Kansas, Nebraska and Mis-
surf indicate that the weather during
the weak has been favorable for small
grain, hut unfavorable for corn, yegeta-
bleS and fruit.
