Musical Gongs and Strings of Silver Bells
 Now Announce the Serving of Dinner.
 The loud mouthed bell that announces din ner in tie average well to do home has re- ceived much criticism, and quieter harbin- gers of the feast are coming into favor Japanese gongs represent the latest substi- ute. They are not clamorous, but thor oughly musical, and come in a variety of odd designs. One fashion of using them is to sound two or more gongs together, and if tuned in harmony the effect is very pleasant. Another innovation in some houses consists of strings of tiny unsteady toned silver bells hidden in the portieres which are set in mo tion by the movement of guests passing through the draperies and thus initiate feast of good things with an unexpected con cert of sweet sounds that puts every one into a state of good humor and pleased expect ancy. This, of course, is a passing fancy. In the more aristocratic residences the stately custom of having the butler enter and announce that dinner Is served is undisturbed by fashions of the hour

From the L0rdsburg Liberal.

On the first page of this paper ap pears clipping from the Optic on the subject of publishing the laws passed by the territorial legislature in the various newspapers of the territory. Such law would be beneficial to the people as we'll as to the papers. It would inform the people immediately of the provisions of a new law; 1t would prevent the passage of many foolish and unrighteous laws, legis- lator would not be so quick to vote for a poodle act if he knew his constitu- ents would read it the next week, and it would prevent a dispute arising a year after the legislature adjourns as to whether certain act became law Such dispute arose during the late campaign between no less persons than the president of the council and the governor of the territory. Minne- sota and Wisconsin lave similar laws. New York state publishes it's laws In one paper in each county, t!us ot course is given to the paper that stands best with the state administra, tion. Michigan has provision in her constitution that any newspaper in the state may publish the laws passed by the legislature, and upon the publish er's making his affidavit of publication the state treasurer pays the bill. We are not posted in regard to the methods in other states. The territorial laws in regard to public notices should, in the interest of the public, be amended in many particulars. Wherever the law calls for posting notice it should be changed to published.A T fereed sales of property whether b ille SIltf;f if, trustee, mortgagee, e2Acu tor ssF ad ministrator, should be adxarslsed m | newspaper.

To Benefit Newspapers.

From the Las Vegas Opt1c.
 A NJ. Anderson, of the Cerrillos Rustler, has contributed an article to the Albuquerque Democrat inswhich he advocates the printing of all laws passed by the legislature, in every newspaper published in the Territory. By so doing, the writer thinks a double purpose would be served, viz: Newspapers, which are acknowledged to be in conjunction with railroads, the most important factors in the building up of country, would be en- abled with the aid of the money ob- tained from this source to better de- vote themselves to the arduous task of advocating and furthering the inter- ests of the section which they repre- sent. Railroads are susidized and why not newspapers? Mir. Anderson cites the example of Minnesota, the legis- lature of which state has enacted statute making in necessary that every law passed must be printed in fuil in every newspaper regularly published within her borders. The other benefit which such course would be is that 1t would have the effect of informing the great mass of voters, who other wise are almost entirely ignorant of ! the laws by which they are governed, to see for themselves what is really done in their behalf by those who con stitute the lawmakers of the territory. Neither would such a law entail an unreasonable expense. The number of papers is not large and the addition al support thus given them would stimulate exertion, add to their merit and influence, and thereby more than repay the outlay on the part of the territory by bringing in wealth in the shape of investments, increasing the population, and in the thousand other ways the press silently but effectually works.
 Mir. Anderson very earnestly urges all newspapers in New Mexico to take this matter in hand and see that 1t is brought to the attention of the legis- latule. In this way he hopes that pa pers which at present are barely able to keep up, may with the aid of pub lie money become profitable institu- tions
 The question is one which the press of New Mexico can discuss with profit pro and con, for that there are form idable arguments which can be used against such measure admits of no doubt. Let each and every one be heard from.

Farmers. Keep Out Of Debt.
Iowa State Register.

1t is probable the writer is radical on
the subject of going into debt. But when
a man is right it is difficult 10 be too
radical. We do know that with farmers
debt contracting is a rapidly growing
evil. There are more than twenty farm
mortgages to where there was one fifty
years age, in proportion to the plumber
of farms. And at that time chatteI
mortgages were unknown in thelaw books,
the public records or in practice. And
after the trouble and misery, aliena-
ton of friends, separations of families,
poverty and distress, and the suicides, all
caused by the careless contraction of
debts, which We have witnessed in sixty
years, it is no wonder we are radical on
the subject. We're we to start in life
again, if our income were only SOC per
week we would save half of it, and buy
peck of corn for 10c, parch it and eat
that alone and provide clothing with the
other 15c before contracting debts TO live
on. 1t is better to go barefoot when it is
warm enough not to need shoes to keep
warm, and make coat and pants of coarse
horseblankets than to plant the seeds Of
debt to harass the days and disturb the
sleep. We do know that the hasty and
greedy practice of spending all ones
wages or income, and providing nothing
for sickness, misfortunes, or lack of en-
ployment is all wrong. No matter how
small the income or wages, economy
ought to save portion of it. The re-
quirements, to satisfy the appetite,
strengthen the body for labor and per-
feet the system from exposure are more
or less fictitious, extravaganza and useless.
Fashion is the most :yranical ruler that
ever cursed mankind. His power and
despotio way enters into all departments
of society, causing foolish mortals to con-
tract debts, mortgage property and rend-
er families miserable for life. A farmer
can live happier in his old house, out of
debt, than he can in a new, fine one with
mortgage on it. A family can worship
more devoutly going to church in farm
wagon, when they are not afraid of any
creditor meeting taem, than to go in a
fine carriage with chattel mortgage on
the horses, subject to be foreclosed at
any time.
Hence we beg of farmers to so live and
so economic that if in debt the amount
shall be greatly and gradually decreased
each year. Discard the idea of adding
Injuries to household furniture, to cloth
ing, or buildings or carriages, musical
instruments, etc, until you have the
ready cash to pay for any or all of them.
Come back to old-fashioned economy,
old fas nioned contentment and happi-
ness, old fashioned industry and plain
living until the financial condition will
Justify Injuries, and even then they will
conduce little to health and happiness.

Poultry tor Profit.
American Agriculturist

To profit by keeping poultry, it is
necessary to have some knowledge of the
business. The farmer will scott at the
idea of subscribing for poultry jourr al,
or investing few dollars in some pure
bred poultry. He is content with keep
ing the old barnyard stock which have
Inbred for years. He thinks they have
very comfortable quarters during the
winter, using the manure pile as play
ground by day, and the fences to perch
upon al night. Such persons are always
pfeJudlced against poultry. They say
poultry don't pay. They see their neigh
bors going to market with large baskets
of eggs and console themselves by the
idea that they have no "luck" with poul-
try. Poultry will not pay any one with
such care, but will pay as large per cent.
as anything on the farm if properly kept.
No very heavy outlay is necessary for
successful poultry keeping. No one
building should be erected to accommodate
the whole flock, unless it be divided into
different apartments, each division to &C
comodate from one to two dozen fowls,
with runs attached.

ly they should be forced to take it.
Growing pigs not only need plenty of
exercise to aid digestion, but to develop
muscle, bone and the vital organs. With
oat proper amount of it the legs are
apt 20 become crooked aud unshapely;
they lose the prsper use of them and
their action is awkward, the lungs fail to
expand and develop, the action of the
heart Is lmpeded, and the tendency to lay
on tat Is increased to an abnormal degree;
OF course, when you take pigs that are
penned for fattening the csse is different,
but no animal that is intended for breed
ing purposes should be much confined or
restrained.

THE CAULIFLOWER.
Will Luxuriate and Bear the Largest Heads
in Rich Moist SOil-Try Some.

VIII IuNurlatc ana btdr lle Largest hedus
in a Rich Moist SOil-Try Some.
This is now largely raised for the mar
ket, and anyone who grows vegetables at
all should not fail to have few for table
use. Hereabouts the first batch Is com
monty sown in hotbeds in March, and
planted in the open groand about the end
of April. Caulihowers will luIuriate and
bear the largest heads in rich, moist
soil. The second crop is soEn in the
open ground in April, or when the soil
has commenced to warm up somewhat,
being transplanted When large enough.
To obtain large and fine heads they
should be at least 8 feet between the
rows, and IS inches or two feet apart in
the row. When the time approaches for
the head to be of some size IL pays to go
along and break over one of the leaves TO
shade it, which prevents q too sharp
growth of the prime part, and conse-
quenly produces more regular and uni
form head which is better the more COM
pact it is. Formerly caulifowe-s were
brought to market in g very loose and
rough condition and were little sought
after; now the time for cutting Is well
understood, snd il Is 6 favorite In its
season. Any soil that will grow cabbage
Is similar in growth to the caulifower
and is more available where the winters
are not so severe as in England, for
example, where 1t forms staple winter
vegetable.

ii. d. Washburn, who lives ten mics
north OF Quitman, Ga. was passing around
the back Of his plantation, accompanied
by two dogs, one q very large bulldog
the other a small one. The small dog
was suddenly attacked By monster rattle
snake, the snake biting him and holding
him to the ground with his mouth. The
larger dog seeing the trouble went bravely
20 the rescue. The snake immedistly
released the small dog, the large one
biting him in the neck. Mr.. Washburn
hao, in the meantime, got hold of fence
rail ana started for the scene of battle.
On seeing Mr.. Wsshburn, the snake left
the dogs and sprsng for him. The old
gentleman sprsng back few steps and
gathering his energies struck at his
shakeship with rail The rail took
effect on the snakes head and stunned
him. Then Mr.. Washburn got in his
work, and in a few minutes had killed the
etile, which was as large a. a mans
thigh, and seven feet long. he was an
old settler. Strange to say the small dog
recovered, but the large deg died the
next day.
