nearly two hundred guests. On account
of its steamer and stage facilities it is a
favorite headquarters for those whose time
for pleasure is limited, although a consid-
cradle number make their homes here for
the season.
A quarter of mile east CT Tahoe is a
State fish hatchery, where hundreds OF
thousands of trout are Matched and placed
in the streams that empty into the lake.
This Is always an item of interest to visit
ors, who are cordially received by the
management in charge. The new quar-
tiers, completed only last week, are now
occupied and prove satisfactory. There
are in the troughs some 10000 little
trout, now old enough to plant, but
which will be fed until the last of
July, to enable them the better to look
out for themselves until such time as they
may become large enough to gladden. the
heart OF the happy tourist who succeeds
IN hooking them to the end of line.
There are in the baskets over SOC, 900 eggs,
and more than a million young fish
will be put out from this hatchery into
brooks emptying into the lake during the
present season.

Leaving Tahoe City and passing to the
right around the lake the first place that
attracts attention is the beautiful private
property of Mrs. Margaret E. Crocker,
nesting among stalwart pines and occupied
for the present season by the family and
guests of J. B. Wright, of this city.

Where the steamer makes its first landing,
contains about thirty cottages, which are
rented furnished. Stopping here, accom-
modations, including meals, are furnished
for So per week. Boats for fishing, to-
gether with tackle, are furnished free
to the guests, as are also baths. Game
abounds in the mountains directly back
from the lake, and large numbers of quail
are bagged every season. Higher up deer
are found, and if bear hunting is an at
traction the proprietor can occasionally be
induced to accompany party in search of
bruin, and when he does go they generally
come back with bear. Caldwelrs creek,
the dividing line between Placer and Ell
Dorado counties, empties into the lake at
this point, and wagon-road leads from
here to Georgetown, in the latter county.

How to Get There-Stage and Steamer
Routes-Places and Things of In

The summer season is at hand, the
Fourth of July is over, and those who
had not a surfeit of iubilation are plan
ming for a campaign at mountain or sea-
side resort. The mountains in their rug
gedness are always fascination in them
selves, and when the added attractions of
sporting for game through their timbered
canyons, and trouting in transparent lakes,
or along the dancing, dashing waters of
crystal streams are taken into considera-
ton, surely few can resist so tempting a
desire as visit of recreation among the
SUBMITS of the Sierra
Hundreds of Alpine lakes of various
sizes, with their clear, deep, cold, emerald
or azure waters formed from melted
snow, are found penned in among the
craggy tops of these mountains, and the
most celebrated, as well as the most extern
sive, of all these fresh water bodies is Lake
Tahoe and of all mountain sections, none
so easy of access can offer such variety of
enjoyment and health-giving recreation as
are found about this, the most beautiful
and grand of all American lakes.
LAKE TAHOE.
Lake Tahoe is about thirty miles long
and fifteen miles wide, with a measured
depth of 1850 feet. 1t is 6,2l6 feet above
sea level, and is walled in on every side
by mountains that are from 1000 to
5000 feet higher. Mark Twain, than
whom none are more competent to
make comparisons, shows his loyalty
to our coast attraction by CHASING
Tahoe with the most celebrated of Euro
pean and Asiatic lakes which pleasure
seekers make the tour of the world to
visit, and yet, In summing up, he says that

THE BALLOT REFORM.

Mr.. Edward Wakefield writes Interestingly
in the Forum concerning the Australian
ballot law. Ono feature of the system is
that ali the qualified voters on the list are
numbered from No. upward in alphabeti-
cal order. When an elector walks In he
gives his name In full and answers any ques-
tions which may be asked for the purpose
of identifying him. The returning officer
then ticks his name off on the list and gives
him ballot, having first written the elec-
tors number, from the list, on the corner of
the paper, and gummed 1t down. This pro-
cess has been great deal misunderstood, for
it looks like device to trace the ballots and
make it easy to tell how any voter voted.
This, however, is not Its purpose, nor, &C.
cordipg to Mr.. Wakefield, It's practical
working. The number, being gummed
down, is thereby concealed and the number
upon the ballot serves only the purpose of a
clue in case of attempted fraud. If an at
tempt is made at personstion or double vot-
ing, comparison of the tick marks on the
electoral lists gives the clue, and the tainted
ballots are traced by the numbers, which are
uncovered for the purpose, and are at once
rejected.
Another peculiar feature of the Austria
liam system is the ingenious and elaborate
system of bribery which 1t makes possible.
An agent may bring his men to the booths
in body. He sends in the first with in
struction to put piece of blank paper into
the ballot box instead of the ballot paper,
and to bring out the blank ballot paper to
the agent. The latter then marks this paper
as he wishes, and sends in a second man to
cast it and to bring out, in turn, his
blank ballot paper given him by the cleo
tion officer. This process can be continued
indefinitely, and SO, by the loss of only a
single ballot-that of the arst man who de-
posits the blank paper-the agent can be
reasonably certain that the votes contracted
for are duly deposited, the blank ballot
brought out constituting In each case kind

A USEFUL MACHINE.
One of the most notable novelties exhibited
at the Paris exposition is machine which Is
intended to do three classes of work: first, to
spray insecticides, that is, substances intend
ed to destroy insect life; second, to SOW the
seed broadcast, and third, to distribute arti-
fetal manures, such as nitrate or superphos-
phate. On trial at the Paris exhibition it
was found that the insecticides could be
sprayed at different angles to cover even such
tall growing crops as vines, hops OF fruit
trees. Although the machine on exhibition
was intended to spray pure Houid or dry
seeds, powders or sand, 10 was found on trial
that 1t was capable of throwing through it's
fine nozzles liquid substances Of the consis-
tenoy Of thick cruel. A mixture prepared
for the spraying machine had the appearance
of whitewash, but was sprayed as easily and
as finely as pure liquid would have been,
the French director of the ministry of agri-
culture and the jury on farming utensils ex-
pressing their unqualified approval of It's
work. 1t is said that the French government
believes that by means of this device the
damage caused by insects to the French vine
yards may be materially arrested, and pro-
poses making arrangements to have the ma
chine shown in all Of the leading wine grow
ing districts of the country.

The national debt of England is ROW
smaller than at any time since 1911, and
though 1t is not paid of so fast as ours, it is
getting reduced considerably. After the
battle of Waterloo in 1916, the debt was

tsrest charge was more than $163, ,225, 900.
As the population of the United Kingdom
then numbered but little over 18,e0O, 900,

$286, and the annual charge to each indi-
vidual was $500. The total amount of the
debt In 1884 was So, 732, j, 119, $40; the next
year Sc, ,701 ,65S ,270; In 1886 1t increased be-
tween nine and ten millions of dollars; In
1887, however, decrease had been resumed
and the SUM was 81, 1881, 800, ,440; in 1888, the
figures were So, ,467, ,7s7, $50. But, meanwhile
the local debt of the municipalities and

Wilkie Collins, to those who met him or
his visit to this country, was very curious

sI shall never forget the first and the only

now the Morton House. Perched on high
stool before the eating counter with his knees
drawn nearly up to his chin was little man
in solemn black clothes. The position in
which he sat, his small body, his large head,
his strong features, his gold speotaoles and
his bushy hair and beard, then sho wing more
silver than black threads, would have at
tracted anybody's attention. He was eating
an enormous mess of roast oysters and
drinking Dublin porter. Presently Mr.. Dol
by, who was first known in this country as
the man who brought Charles Dickens over
here for his reading tour in 1858, came in and
the little gray man hoped off his stool to

a Girl KiIIed Inv Honev Bees.

[Pamona (Cal) Dispatch to the Boston Herald.1
Alice, the eighteen yesr-old daughter of
Edward Quimby, lies at the point of death
at her fathers home near Cucanon, in Po-
mona valley. While watching honey bees at
work on her fathers ranch Tuesday she was
suddenly attacked by the insects. She tried
to drive them away and fled, but the bees
only increased In number, and there was a
perfect cloud of them about her. She was
found lying unconscious on the ground and
carried to the house and a physician was
called. Her pain has been terrible. Last
evening she became unconscious and has
been sinking to her death. Her face and
neck are terribly swollen, while her arms
and ankles are more than double their nor
NAL size. She can neither open her eyes or
mouth. Where the bees stung her she is one
mass of blood red blotches. All manner of
applications have been made for the relief of
the girl, but none have proved of any avail.
John Burns, the London strike
Leader.
IFrom the London Star.1
1t is curious to note, by the way, how the
whole East End is full of stories of John
Burns. He is the English proletarist hero
of the nineteenth century, and If we lived
In the middle ages we should probably be
having John Burns legend which would
land him in saintship. The extraordinary
way in which he contrives to attract the at-
tention. of the people, as welL as their re-
epect, is a subject Of universal remark.
John is not only leader and orator in chief
for his host of dockers, but he keeps his
marching legions in line with thrust from
his sturdy arms which would settle a good
many dockers offhand. But the pushed ones
only laugh and cheer. The other day he
stopped his cab to box the ears of boy who
had been i'll treating horse. The crowd
cheered and the boy did the same. John is
in fact kind of rough amateur Moses to the
East End Israel-he is prophet, law giver,
morslist and inspirer OF the great army of
marchers and soilers in our modern wilder
ness. And as that is precisely what the East
End has wanted for years, the moral et-
feots of this strike are simply incaloulable.
John has taught the East End to live and
feel in every nerve that it is alive.
