ONE of the devices, says the S. F. Bull
letin, which the old communities of the
east have for a long time employed
to obtain the power which is pass
ing away from them by the westward
movement of population, is to increase
the ratio of population for representa-
tiyes in congress. On the face it seems
to be fair all around. But it does not
work that way. So long as the old
states had a majority in congress, there
was nothing for the west to do but to
grin and bear it. But the latter now
has the power and it will probably use
it to protect itself. The last ratio for a
representative in congress is a popula-
ton of Isl ,512. 1t has been advanced
to these figures at one bound, from the
ratio of 1870 which was 130,5S3. 1t
is not wise to advance the ratio be-
yond what it is now. The ratio implies
at least 10000 voters. If it is main
tained California, for ins tance, will get
eight members of congress (perhaps
nine), Oregon will get two, and so on,
while New York, New Jersey and a
few of the New England states will
lose, as they ought. Adherence to the
present ratio will of course increase the
numbers of the house. But better that
than any larger number of voters should
take the place of the $4,000 to whom
a single representative is now allotted.

A SERIOUS BLUNDER.
4 Lady Nearly Frustrated by a Pat
ent Medicine.

Alady well-known In the Western Addition
has been q great sufferer for years with in
digestion and dyspepsia. Struck with the
testimonial pyaising Joys Vegetable Sarsa-
psrila, she sent for a bottle. The druggist,
not having 1t, talked them into taking another
sarsaparilla. Asthele leading sarsapsrillas use
mineral blood purifiers, the effect of the
emptying OF iodide of potash into a stomach
already distressingly delicate was disastrous,
almost prostrating her before the mistake was
rectifed. She then called upon Mrs. Fowler,
OF SH Ellis street, whose name was among
those cured by joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
Mrs. Fowler said 1t was true that 1t had cured
her. Again reassured, the vegetable COM
pound was sent for and gotten. The gentle
action Of Its vegetable stimulants upon the
Liver, kidneys and digestive organs, and Its
warm stomach tonics, were the very things
needed, and she began improving and was
her old self within fortnight This sounds
like fiction, but the names can be given IL
necessary.-Sa1 Francisco Examiner.

The Marvellous Song Of the Solitaire.

Olive Thorne Miller tells us in the
that she bought in a New York bird
store. Mrs. Miller had owned it three
years when it died. These solitaires are
described in their native land West
Indies and Mexico) as invisible, mys-
terious birds with the heavenly song
As to the solitaire's wonderful voice, the
author relates that, "during the first few
months of his residence with me, he
gave one song of perhaps twenty notes,
ending in lovely tremolo. 1t was in
quality totally unlike any other bird
note l ever heard, and thrilling in an ex-
traordinary degree, though it was utter
ed with the beak nearly closed. This
song alone placed the clarin at the head
of all songsters that l have heard or
heard of. In the three years of his life
with me | often noted down, in n sort of
phonetic way. his songs, as he delivered
them, and | have six or seven that are
perfectly distinct and different. He
never mixed them together or united
them; he rarely sang two on the same
day. All through, too, there seemed so
much reserve power that one could not
resist the conviction that he could 90 ON
and OH, and break ones heart with his
voice if he chose. II was reserved for
the last week OF his life for my bird to
give me the most genuine surprise. One
day l sat quietly at my desk. The bird
stood on perch very near my head-so
near could not turn to look at him,
when, without n moments hesitation,
without an instant's preliminary prac-
tice, he burst out inro a glorious,
heavenly, perfect song, that struck me
dumb and breathless. Not daring to
move hand or foot, yet wanting some
record of the wonderful aria, l jotted
down, i'll the page | was writing, few
of the opening notes; l could re-write
my page, but could not bear to lose
the music. Three times, at intervals of
perhaps one minute, he uttered the
same marvellous song, and then never
heard i. again. After all / had not
record of it, for though it was deliberate
aud distinct, at every repetition / WAS
spell bound, and could not separate it
into tones. Though | should live to be
a thousand years old, and visit every
country un Ter heaven, l am sure /
should never hear such rapturons
burst of song again"

The theory OF irrigation is by no
means new one as every re ider Of his
tory is aware. 1t is as old, almost. MS
agriculture; indeed some writers contend
that agriculture owes its beginning to
that form of water supply. 1t was GER
tainly employed at very early day in
Egypt. The Moors introduced it into
Spain; and when the Spaniards went to
Mexico they found it in operation there.
The indications of great irrigation ca
nails and reservoirs are to be seen IN
different parts of the country where the
Aztec and Spanish agriculturists SO long
had sway. There is reason to believe
that they found the process satisfactory
go far as they were able to apply it; and
our increased scientific knowledge and
improved methods of conducting public
enterprises should enable us to achieve
much better results than they ever
attained.

The Heather.

This plant is the heath OF the English,
also called ling. 1t grows IN great abun-
dance, along with several other kinds
on poor, sandy soil, forming mass q
fibry roots, which is cut three to SIX
inches thick by turing iron and burned
as fuel. The turf is different from tue
peats which are cut in blocks from an,
cient decayed vegetable matter, driea
and burned. The true heath is also used
as thatch for outbuildings, cottages
etc, and in olden times was used ior
even the houses of the well-todo- IL
will grow from two to even SIX feet ID
height. The flowers are little bel S, ID

fields, charming sight. The Cornish

the most SNOWY in individual flowers,

Chinese Wine-MakiAs.

Wine-making is said to have existed
for thousands of years before the intro
duction of distilling. mhe process is
simple. Glutinous rice, or A,oang-nai, is
placed over q fire in large iron pan
and softsned with warm water. 1t is
made into n thick, solid sort Of a Cruel.
This STEPPED rice is placed on a table
with raised edges to prevent the fluid
from oyerhowing. Over the rice when
in this state, the leaven to aid fermenta-
ton is sprinkled. The whole is then
mixed and mashed with an iron masher,
and remains in large stoneware jar
for several days. If the wine is desired
to be of a sweet taste, two days are
enough; but for wine without sweet
taste four or five days are required. To
make the second kind of wine stronger
the Chinese brewer often adds spirits.
After all this the wine, solid and liquid
parts together, is placed in cloth bag,
and this goes into pressing chest of
wood called cha, the wine press. A
heavy stone presses it down and the
wine flows out from sort of teapot
spout in the side of the press. The re-
mainder of solid mater is called tsaH,
and is used to feed animals or as fer
ment. The method OF distilling was in
troiuced in the Yuen dynasty. 10
the wooden cylinder, which holds the
millet there are three covers. The out
er and upper one contains cold water and
keeps the second cover cool to condense
the spirit. The spirit rises from the
softened red millet below, which has
been under manipulation for several
days, and passes through the first cover
to the second. 1t here becomes con-
densed and flows down the sides into
circular trough which receives it and de-
livers it from spout. Williams and
Morrisson's Dictionary and Legg's Clas-
sizes seem to have been compiled with the
that the Chinese practiced
in ancient times. This is an
error. The Chinese only knew the ordi-
nary process of fermentation. = Chinese

Two Apiariau Freaks.

At a meeting of the chronological
Society of France, Mr.. II. Lucas exhib-
tied two specimens of the honey-bee,
which we're collected near Bordeaux.
and which were remarkable from the
fact that in the one the left eye is small.
while the right eye, on the contrary, is
strongly developed aud even extends
beyond the median part OF the front.
With the other specimen the exact con-
trary occurs, and it IS the left eve which
is more developed than that of the right
side, which is plainly smaller. On ac-
count of this extremely remarkable
anomaly, it could be said that these
bees, from this character, belong upon
the one side 10 the male sex, and upon
the other to the neater.-Insect Life.
