HURRAH FOR BIG SIX.

The following explains itself, being
among the dispatches of Tuesday last.
''San francisco, April 30.-One of the
most touching incidents of the day was the
return to it's old home of the Monumental
engine of the Volunteer fire department.
After the parade the old veterans turned
their back to their headquarters, dragging
along with them the old engine sold to Vir-
ginia City in 1865. The old Monumental,
or "Big Six as it was generally called,
was bought by the Volunteers in 1854, and
eleven years agoit was sold.to Virginia City
for $4,000. Later it was bought by the
Volunteer department at Corvallis, Ore, for
$4,000, and there it remainen until last
October, W hen it was bought back by the
exempts. -
" hen Washington street was reached,
the veteran firemen gave one loud hurrah,
and ran up the hill, dragging the engine be-
hind them, while the band played Home
Again When the engine was housed, the
company cheered wildly, and Godfrey
Fisher made the presentation speech,
"H. ID. Hudson, president OF the organl-
nation, replied on behalf of the organization.
He said that after an absence of twenty.
five years the members were glad to wei
come back the old engine to its first home.
Other memories were also awakened in the
hearts of the few remaining veterans by the
return of the old engine to it's home.
"The veterans and their invited guests
then sat down to banquet table, and the
remainder of the afternoon was spent in
feasting and speech making"

THREE REFORMS.

The city has spent 81, 900 in ad-
vertising. That is we'll. Now
suppose in response to this invita-
tion there should come in a hun
dred or more seeking homes, in
vestments, labor. What are the
first impressions of our city?
Three important reforms are need
ed to satisfy new comers from tasty
eastern cities.
First, Danish the cattle from the
streets, they soil the sidewalks,
break fences, spoil gardens, trees,
and lawns. No good city pre-
sents such a nuisance.
Secondly, round up the streets.
The condition of our streets, hon.
estly;gentlemen, is a disgrace to US.
There are bitches full Of green
scum, from which poisonous va
pors rise and drift all over the city
to be inhaled by delicate, darling
children, beautiful women and
strong men, alike. The street
east Of L. G. Kline and W. A.
Wells is a model, and the whole
city should be like it. A street
commissioner could be busted with
a team and helper a whole year
upon the streets and sidewalks.
There are chuck holes to fill, rough
places to smooth, crossings to make
easy, and the cleanliness of the
city to be looked after.
Thirdly. the sidewalks are in a
wretched condition. There should
be uniformity, evenness, smooth

SECRETARY Window has decided

SECRETARY Window has decided
that no revenue licenses can be
granted for the retailing Of liquor
in Oklahoma. The secretary
bases his decision upon the fact
that liquor cannot get into the
territory without passing over In
dian Territory which is illegal.
The license to sell liquor IN Okla
homa would therefore be nothing
less than permission to sell con-
trahand article. The ruling is. an
excellent one for the peace and
order of the newly occupied coun-
try.

More Uniform Than Brains.

In England we do not dote quite so much
upon uniforms as they do in France; and
little incidents of this kind are therefore not
very likely to occur on this side of the Chan
mel Still avery well known English cabinet
minister-it is needless to say that he was a
Gladstonian-did once get into difficulties,
not through going about in multi, but through
wearing too much uniform. We will not
mention the gentlemans name for he is still
extant and it might hurt his dignifed Glad
stonian feelings This distinguished politician
not even his friends ever thought he was q
statesman-was once upon time first lord of
the admiralty. Full of the Importance of his
office, he determined to wear the gorgeous
uniform of lord high admiral, whose repre-
sentative he was The first time he had Of
fetal business with the feet the right honor
able gentleman put on his uniform and went
aboard one of her majestys ships The min
lister, who liked to look upon himself as lord
high admiral, had his flag run up and the
vessel started. In few minutes one of the
officers came up and politely touched his hat
to the first lord. "If you please, sir, what
are your ordersa' he asked. "Orders! what
orderss" las your flag is flying you are in
command" "But don't understand at ALL "
"Well, sir, you are in command, and in a few
minutes we shall run into the queens yacht.
Will you give me my orderss" The unlucky
first lord became crimson with vexation, and
the lord high admiral's pennant was promptly
hauled down-St. James Gazette.

"shootine" Wells with Torpedos,

An effective mode for increasing the yield
of wells is to ''shoot' them with nitro-glycer-
ine This was done with excellent results in
Pennsylvania. The well operated upon was
a six-inch one, with depth of three hundred
and fifteen feet. It was bored principally
through solid rock. The result of the explo
sion was expected to open up region hun
dred and fifty feet in diameter, thus tapping
a large area for drawing room. A torpedo
six inches in diameter and two feet six inches
long was filled with rackarock, with quar-
ter gallon can of nitro-glycerine at the bot
TOM and was lowered with a tarred rope and
deposited at the bottom of the well. A smaller
torpedo, containing more rackarock, with a
small copper illuminate of mercury cap and
fuse leading to the surface, was then sent
down. In two minutes after the fuse was
lighted the water in the well was thrown a
hundred feet into the air and the work was
,lone,-New York Telegram.

A New Use for WatermelOns.

The watermelon crop of Carolina, Georgia
and Florida is rapidly getting too large
more than the market requires. Col. William
Duncan of South Carolina, has therefore made
a suggestion, which has received the approval
of a number of Carolina newspapers and
melon growers-this is the manufacture of
sirup from the melon. Col Duncan insists
that the melon can be more easily and more
generally raised than the sugar cane; and as
it grows above ground it is more convent
emily cultivated than the sugar beet He has
experimental In the manufacture of sirup
from melons and finds it excellent, more like
preserves than the cane sirup, he says, and
likely to become popular with every one who
tries it. He has made the sirup and sold it,
and found no difficulty in getting good
price for it.--NeW Orleans Times Democrat.

Phosphorescent Powders.

From some interesting observations on
phosphorescent powders by E. Becquerel,
these results are summarized: l. Sulphur
and pure carbonate of calcium give very
slight phosphorescence. 2. Sulphur and
pure carbonate Of calcium plus 0.5 to LIS per
cent. of soda give brilliant green phosphor-
escence. 8. Sulphur and pure carbonate Of
calcium plus traces of manganese or hismuth
give little or no phosphorescence. 4. Mix
ture as No. g. but with per cent. of soda,
gives strong yellow OF blue phosphorescence
5. Mixture as No. |. plus traces of lithia,
gives intense green phosphorescence. g.
Sulphur and oyster shells, ETC., give red
phosphorescence. Z. Mixture as No. l, plus
traces of rubidium, gives red phosIalores-
cence. s. Sulphur and pure carbonate of
strontium give very faint blush green phos-
phorescence. o. Sulphur and pure carbonate
of strontium plus soda gives bright green

De Quincey's Grave.

Mr.. Mackay writes to a London journal as
follows: 81 was sorry to see the following
item of news: 1T is almost thirty years since
De Quincy died, and his last resting place,
in the west churchyard at Edinburgh, under
the shadow of Castle Rock, and marked by
plain, weather stained mural tablet is
known to comparatively few, and from its
utterly neglected condition is seemingly cared
for by no one.' The mural tablet is not
weather stained, and his grave is not utterly
neglected, but well cared for by some loving
hand or other. When in Edinburgh l almost
always visit his grave, and when last was
there, and as the birds sang about the
grounds, the trees rustled, and the sun shone,
could hardly think of him sleeping in a
more lovely spot. save it might be along with
Wordsworth and Haley Coleridge in the
churchyard at Grasmere. New York Sun.

Stop made of milk, ground corn and oats,
with small proportion of wheat middlings,
makes an excellent food for the young sow.
When only few hogs are raised on the
farm the better plan is to have the SOW litter
but once year, very early in the spring, then
by careful feeding they can be made good
hogs by January following.
If your hogs begin to cough, look out for
malignant lung troubles. If they nope and
lie about their beds, intestinal difficulties
may be suspected. Plenty of pure air, pure
water and varied food will scare away malig-
nant diseases.
Give the pigs plenty of range upon pasture
and feed less corn That will certainly i'm
prove the quality of the pork. This does not
mean that they should be managed on the
root, hog, Or die" principle, for that is neg
lect or abuse, and neither of these pay

How She Takes Your Arm.

You can tell pretty well how girl feels to-
ward you by the way she takes your arm. If
she doesn't care a cent you know it by the in
difference of her muscles. If she has a great
confidence in you the pressure tells it; and
friendship is as distinct from love in that
mode of expression as in words Or LOOKS. A
womanscan take the arm of fellow she likes
very much with perfect comfort, even if she
is six feet high and he is four. But even if
the two are just matched, she can make him
feel disdain, contempt, discomfort, dislike,
anything she likes, by the way she does not
hold on to him.-Detroit Free Press.
