CHAPTER vi.

A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION, IN TWO PARTS.
The next morning there was a most un-
usual cutlery in the doctors house. The last
thing before going to bed, the doctor had
locked up some valuables in the dining room
cupboard; and behold, when he rose again,
as he did about 4 o'clock, the cupboard had
been broken open and the valuables in ques-
ton had disappeared. Madame and Jean
Marie were summoned from their rooms, and
appeared in hasty toilets; they found the
doctor raving, calling the heavens TO witness
and avenge his injury, pacing the room bare
footed, with the tails Of his night shirt firt-
ing as he turned.
Sooner he said; "the things are gone, the
fortune gone! We are paupers once more
Boy! what do you know of this9 Speak up,
sir, speak up. Do you know of It'll Where
are theyr He had him by the arm, shaking
him like bag, and the boys words, if he
had any, were jolted forth in inarticulate
numbers. The doctor, with revulsion from
his own violence, set him down again He

Toys Mads of Old onrka-

Curious toys may be made of cork. One
of these Is the well-known little tumbler,
such as is generally constructed Of pitb;
but cork, especially il it be followed. will
answer the purpose Make the puppet Of
three or four corks, shape and paint it as
skllfully as you can, and glue to the feet,
or under them, a hemisphere of lead.
When thrown into any position, the figure
of course rights itself, and, like a cat,
always falls ON its feet. 1t is
quite possible to make cat also
of pith or cork, which will indeed always
foll upon its feet. Another toy is duck
of cork, which is always ballasted with
lead, and which can outride any storm.
These are made by gluing small pieces of
cork together, and then shaving the whole
into shape with sharp knife. These
ducks would meet with ready sale at the
water-side in any place where summer vis-
itors congregate. A duck or swan Of cork,
containing piece of iron, can be placed
on sheet of paper, etc, and made to move
by magnet concealed beneath the paper.
A more difficult toy is the walking man"
A puppet is made from cork, the legs be-
ing movable at the hips, yet SO con-
structed that the body does not fall back
ward or forward. The soles of the figure
are shod or plated with iron A horse
shoe magnet is then moved under tam
BOURNE or other frame covered with paper
or parchment, and as the soles follow the
poles of the magnet, the figure, of course,
may be made to walk over it-Charles G..

tegrity Of Che educational srstem it is time

tegrity of the educational system it is time
enough for political party to champion
the scheme Of common schools.
As the sehaol system is a part of the So
cial plan and is as interviewer with it
as is the home itself, why should
not the mothers of the land have a direct
voice in the government of the schools it
provides? If it was wise thing to elect
women upon the School Board in San
Francisco, it will be as wise to do SO here.
Let US follow the example of the metrop-
oils and make half our nominations for the
Board of Education from among the women
of Sacramento. This viii place but two
on the Board this year; next year let us
elect two more, and thus divide the Board
equally among men and women. If the
partisanship of the managers of the po-
litical parties in this city is so intense that
they cannot consent to eliminate politics
from the school election now, at least let
them agree upon this proposition con-
corning female Directors, which they can
do without yielding little Of their po-
litical predjudices The bosses on both
sides may be expected to object-but we
may do them injustice; they may be far
seeing enough to perceive that the part
of wisdom is not to resist the inevitable,

Pins. Twelve Dollars a Paper.

From an article entitled ''Hard Times
IN the Confederacy" IN the September
Century we quote the following: Elm Au-
gust, 1854, private citizens coat and vest,
made Of five yards of coarse homespun
cloth, cost $3.50 exclusive Of the price paid
for the making. The trimmings consisted
of old cravats; and for the cutting and
putting together, a country tailor charged
$50. 1t is safe to say that the private citi-
zen looked veritable guy in his new suit,
in spite of its heavy drain upon his pocket
book. In January, 1865, the material for
lady's dress, which before the war would
have cost $40, could not be bought for less
than $500. The masculine mind is un-
equal to the tasks of guessing how great
sum might have been had for bonnets,
brought through the lines for in
spite of patient self sacrifice and un-
faltering devotion at the bedside of the
wounded in the hospitals, or in
ministering TO needs of relatives
and dependents at home, the Southern
women of those days are credited with as
keen an interest in the fashions as women
everywhere in civilized lands are apt to be
IN times of peace. 1t was natural that
they should be so interested, even though
that interest could in the main not reach
beyond theory. Without it they often
would have had a charm the less and a
pang the more. Any feminine garment in
the shape of cloak or bonnet or dress
which CHANGED to come from the North
was readily awarded its need of praise,
and reproduced by sharp-eyed observers,
so far as the scarcity of materials would
admit. But fashions rules were necessa-
rily much relaxed IN the Southern Con-
federacy 50 far as practice went, when even
such articles as pins, brought through the
blockade, sold for $l2 a paper, and needles
for $40, with not enough of either"

tree branches from the root, one trunk
growing toward the north, the other south.
The north branch measures six feet from
the ground, 81 inches in circumference,
three feet from the ground, 3S inches six
inches from the ground, 46 inches. The
south branch measures FIVE feet from the
ground, 81 inches in circumference; three
feet from the ground, Sc inches; six inches

1t sheds its leaves three times year,
begins ripening fruit about the Goth OF

The fruit is very large, of dark purple
color, almost black, and Of delightful

PUT WOMEN on THE BOARD.

In Sacramento the echoes Of the Ma
tional contest will have scarcely died away
before we will find ourselves engaged in a
brief campaign for an election to deter
mine the local management of our school
system. It ought not to involve any citi-
zens as partisaus. The questions at stake
are purely economic and educational, and
can have no relation whatever to party
politics. If partisanship is drawn into this
election it will not be to the betterment of
the schools. We ought to select our ed
ucational legislators on q plane above and
wholly unrelated to party. The conduct
of the public schools has nothing whatever
to do with party politics or partisans, or
tie reward of political servitors. Where
eyera legislature attempts to reflect party
in its school legislation, it invariably does

Warm Water for Stock.

just at the commencement of last winter
there came into use contriyance by which
water can be cheaply warmed for stock.
| 1t is understood that there is not a patent
on it, and that it is so cheap of construc-
tion, and requiring so little fuel to run it.,
that it should be in more general USE 1t
| Is known that the average amount OF
water drank daily by a cow or steer is
about sixty pounds. To raise the temper
ature of this amount of water in the ami
| NAL from thirty-two degrees to eighty or
ninety would require large amount of
food to contain carbon enough for that
purpose. We have not at hand the re-
suits OF careful experiments to determine
just what amount of corn it would take to
produce the result named. But the saving
must be considerable, especially to the
milch cow, as she is very susceptible to the
influence of cold, outward or inward.
With the machine named, which has been
so highly recommended by Mr.. Sherman.
and Mr.. Gabrielson, of this State, there
can be no doubt about the economy of
every stock-raiser providing in time for a
thorough trial of it this winter 1t costs
30 little, if it should prove a failure, no
man will be seriously crippled. But if it
should prove as good as recommended it
will not only be large saving of food. but
very large increase in milk, flesh and fat.
We are not advised to just what temper
ature 1t is recommended to raise the water,
but it is presumed that it should be nearly
the temperature of the blood, for whatever
it is below this it will have to be raised to
that degree by food. So while warming is
being done, it might as well be brought
near the temperature nature requires, from
80 to 100. 1t is stated that there is no
difficulty in getting cattle to drink warm
water. They soon learn to love it, and
refuse to drink cold water Those who
have tried the experiment, especially with
the cheap machine we have named, unan-
imously approve and recommend it. And
this is in the right direction. 1t gives good
pay for more work. And as we have re-
peatedly stated lately, the time for more
intensive farming had arrived, and this is
one OF the avenues to success. Warm the
water and make it a regular and positive
practice.-lowd Register
