A Land Ever Poor,

India, writes EX-Mayor Harrison, of
Chicago, to the Mail of that city, is fear
fully poor to-day and l find internal
evidence that it has ever been so. There
has ever been the few who coined gold
out of muscle and crystallized sweat into
gems. The few here was perhaps smaller
than in any other country. 1t built its
palaces and tombs of wondrous beauty,
but there is absolutely no sort of monu-
ment OF past people or masses. These
have ever lived in squalor, their mud
houses melting under the summer rain /;
and their little accumulations vanishing
in the smoke of their poor funeral piles.
Oppression has so sunken into their
natures that they have no conception of
anything else. If cells were half as fond
of being skinned as these people are Of
icing ground down, they would wiggle
from their mud houses into the frying
pan. Like spaniels, they delight in
licking the hand that smites them.

Adultcrated Food

The articles in which dishonest prac-
tices arc most common in the present
day are milk, coffee and alcoholic bev-
erages. The local government board
estimate that Londoners are now paying
about $3.50 900 "for water sold under
the name Of milk" In one district alone,
DIR. Saunders calculates that the milk
man received between $35, 900 ard
$40, 600 for the water they had mingled
with the commodity they supplied to
their customers. Yet in that same dis
trict, he tells us, the fines imposed on
dairymen, against whom adulterations
had been proved, amounted to no more
than $4,000. The business, therefore,
appears so profitable, and the risk is at
the same time so trivial, that Londoners
cannot reasonably, under existing cir
cumstances, expect to get the pure milk
they pay for Coffee continues to be
adulterated on an average to the extent
of fifty per cent. The chief article en-
ployed is chickory, at eight cents q
pound. Here the profit is also hand
some one, as the mixture is mostly sold
at thirtytwo cents the pound. In the
matter of tea it is pleasing to hear that
out of over five hundred samples tested
only one was found to be adulterated.
Forty years ago, when tea was from
double to treble its present price, adulte-
ration was practlsed to an enormous ex-
tent in this article. Now il is not only
cheap, but it is also, practically, pure

Curious Beings in California County.

Mention was lately made of a wild
woman in the northern portion of
Sonoma County, who refuses to live in
house, will not eat food unless forced
to, aud roams over the mountains as the
companion of cattle. Her name is Mary
Ferry. Her father, John Ferry, is a
wealthy ranch-owner, living nine miles
west of Cloverdale. People living in
that region say that the life of Mary
Ferry is charmed one. She is said to
have often been in close proximity to
bears, and they would not harm her
Sonoma County has other curiosities.
On ranch near Ferrys there lives a
family consisting of husband and wife
and five children. The children all
speak strange language or gibberish,
which neither the parents nor any one
else outside of the children themselves
can understand.
A dog belonging to John Ferry is also
good curiosity for circus. 1t works
inside a large wheel, connected with
Ferrys dairy by large leather band
and thereby churns all the butter made
at the ranch. On some occasions the
butter which the dog churns amounts to
200 pounds weekly.

A Pig Causes International Arbitra-
zion

Between two groups Of islands in the
extreme northwestern part Of Washing
| ton Territory run two narrow straits, one
called the Canal de Haro and the other
the Rosario strait. Between the two is
San Juan Island. It commands both
water ways, and hence it would be of
great value to either country that owned
it in case two nations should ever quar-
rel. The text of the agreement between
Great Britain and this country reads that
the boundary should be "the middle of
the channel" without saying which
channel. A named Hubbs, who was
pasturing sheep on the southern end of
the island of San Juan, had for a neigh
Dor on the north end man named
Grifiiths. This Gritiths was employed
to raise pigs for the Hudson's Bay com
pany. The pigs ovorran the island and
caused Mr.. Hubbs great deal of trou-
Bile, so one day, in moment of anger,
he warned his neighbor Griiliths that if
another pig came upon his land he would
kill it. The very next day a pig did
trespass there. Mr. Hubbs kept his
word and killed the pig. Gritfiths was
then as angry as lIubbs had been, and
Immediately sailed over to Nictoria-the
busy little city on Vancouver island,
where the officers of the government,
the soldiers and the ships of war had
their headquarters and obtained a war
rant for Hubb's arrest. A constable
went to arrest Hubbs and to take him to
Victoria for trial upon the charge of
killing the pig. But Hubbs refused to
go with him. He said he was an Ameri-
can citizen, and that therefore an Eng.
lish warrant was nothing to him. The
constable departed, and Hubbs, well
knowing the officer would come back
and try to force him TO go to Victoria
sent over TO Port Townsend in Washing
ton territory, for American protection.
A company of soldiers was sent him, and
the English did not molest Mr.. Hubbs.
For five years that little island was
occupied by soldiers of the two mighty
nations. Each camp displayed the flag
of its country on a high staff over the
tents--the stars and stripes fiuttering over
the pastures at one end and the red ban
ner of Great Britain among the hills at
the other, only few miles away. On
either shore the people were greatly
excited, and many on both sides favored
-war, and perhaps, if it had not been
about the time of the actual war between
the States in 1861, there would have
been war over that pig dispute. Cur
government wished the middle of the
Canal de Haro TO be the border line be.
cause we claimed that it was the true
ship channel, but to this the British had
never been willing to agree, since that
boundary would give San Juan to our
country, and with that island went the
control of the gateway to the English
possessions. Finally the papers on both
sides were prepared by the respective
governments and submitted to the En-.
porer of Germany, who decided, in 1872,
in favor of the United States. st.

A Reasoning Lobster.

A curious story of ga Reasoning Lob
ster' is told by Willard Nye, Jr, in the
Bulletin of the United States Fish
Commission. The sagacious crustacean's
home was under a rock in Bukzard's
Bay, in water about five feet deep. The
author carefully adjusted a moose over
the hole, aud baited it with piece OF
menhaden. The lobster passed its claw
through the moose to get the bait; and
the moose was drawn upon the claw. but
slipped off when the animal had been
pulled half out of his hole, and he
escaped. The moose was fixed again,
but this time, instead of putting out his
claws as before, the lobster first
put his feelers through the moose,
felt the string al the way
round, and then pushed one
claw under the string and seized the
bait. The experiment was repeated
several times, but every new setting of
the trap was met in the same deliberate
way, as if by one who had thought the
matter out

MexicO's Poems in Full TOggery.

The peon Mexican women wear only
scanty skirts and mantilla of gaudy or
black stuff. The women of the better
class delight in French shoes and skirts
and tournures. Their clothing crackles
with the starch in it, and according to
degree they wear hats or mantillas of
lace or fine stuff. The masculine attire
in chihuahua, and indeed in all of North
ern Mexico, is varied. The bloods wear
American clothing with an apologize
touch or two of the old national dress.
Pot hats and frock coats abound. Then
come the ranchers with their short jack
cts, fancy shirts skin-tight pantaloons
with bell bottoms and two and three
rows Of metal buttons, and eXtravagantly
embroidered and laced s0mbrero. The
poems are all lightly clad beneath, can
vas trousers predominating and bare legs
being plenty. The hair is bound back
by band round the forehead, and the
inevitable zarape, usually an Indian
made blanket, plain or Of gaudy stripes,
is wrapped over the shoulders and hangs
to the knees. .- @ Ceceldnd PlaHdealer.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Plant the best Of everything.
Fowls infested with lice become too
weak to lay.
Spring work should be planned out
well in advance.
Fresh manure on ground to be planted
for potatoes conduces to scab.
Sheep do not want too warm place
now, but should be sheltered from the
wind.
The Western P7owman predicts that
electricity will be the family carriage
horse of the future.
Prevent bad odors fIom the hog pens
and feeding-houses by scattering ashes
or charcoal plentifully over the floors.
Wood-ashes are the best of all fertili2-

the walls. But no one seemed to under
stand why this was done. Now. a new
Minister of an inquisitive turn of mind
determined to find out the explanation
of a circumstance that his fifty predeces-
sors had never remarked. But no one
could give him any light, not even the
chief clerks, nor subordinates who had
been in service half century. But a
certain doOrkeeper, an old fellow with q
good memory, recollected that on a GER
tain occasion a soldier was placed there
because the walls had been painted, and
the Minister'S wife had got a spot on her
dress. The paint had dried, but the sem
tinel had been left.
