T1red of Life.

Mr.. Jay D. Van Buren,, of the HERALD,
who has just returned from Washington
Territory, witnessed very tragic affair
while crossing the Columbia river from
Kalama on a transfer boat. on his way
here. The boat was we'll filed with pas
sengers, and one of thec, in the attire OF
a workingman, was noticed to remove
his coat, and then throw his hat into the
river. He then climbed onto the rail,
and before anyone could reach him,
plunged into the water. Life preservers
were thrown after him and rescue
boat manned and sent out as soon as
possible, but the suicide had disappeared
before he could be reached. From papers
found in his coat it was seen that his
name was George Knight. Dependency
was the cause of the deed.

One for the shippers.

The railroads are determined to make
money this year if possible, and yester-
day an order went into effect that
shippers will think as another 'facer''
although certainly not heavy one,
Heretofore merchants in this city when
desiring to order goods in the East could
by applying to the agent of the railroad
over which the consignment was to come,
have kilograms relating to the order sent
free of charge. Notification has however
been received by the railroad men that
this courtesy is no longer to continue and
the shippers must pay for their own dis
patches,

Ticket Cutting.

The news has been received by the
ticket agents here that cutting is going
on in San Franciseo on Eastern rates. A
good deal of it is being done secretly, and

tions to meet any cut that may be made.
U to the present time the war has not
been a severe one, the principal reduc-
ton being of $S on tickets to New York
The contest will not extend to this city,
as there is an understanding among the
agents here that has never been broken
even when disastrous wars have beer
raging up North.

1t Will All BE Finished This
Week.
Mr.. Spillman, the contractor for the
Los Angeles and Pacific road stated yes
terday that the surfacing on the new line
to Santa Monica will be completed this
week and the road ready for operations.
Inquiry was then made at the offices of
the company as to when trains would
commence running, and Superintendent
Shaw stated that the date had not been
fixed. The directors may possibly desire
to start the road up at once, but then
again as there is not much travel to the
seaside at this season of the year they
may think it advisable to postpone the
commencement of operations a little
while longer.

The Durham recorder. [volume] (Durham, N.C.) 1879-19??, 1889-10-30
NO5O
When Cocks Crow.
Kansas City journal,

Another habit Of animals that has
attracted much attention, and has
called forth many explanations, all of
which are more or less satisfactory,
is the growing of cocks at midnight.
In the first place, there is not much
dependence to he placed in the cock
as a time-keeper. His Growing in
the night varies with the seasons, his
time OF going to rocst, etc. The ex.
planation of the cause Of bis Growing
is founded on q physiological func-
tion. Stand near o chicken roost
early in the night, and you will hear
a continuous rafting sound coming
from the fowls. This sound is pro-
duced By the muscle Of the gizzard in
grinding the food in them. As the
muscles agitate and triturats the
gravel and sand that the fowls swal.
lowed to aid de eation, the sound is
given of. In about ak or seven
hours after going to roost the rafting
sound ceases. This Indicates the di-
gsstion is now finished. The fowls
are nov ready to take a sound sleep.
They celebrate the event By Growing,
cackling, shaking ont their feathers,
aud then settle down TO roost for
another and s,under sleep Some.
times the Growing is heard at irregu-
lar intervals. This probably because
of a lack Of food CT improper diges-
tion. 1t is generally caused, no
doubt, by the difference in the time
in which different individuals com.
plete the work of digestion. These
last two observations are not given as
exclusive or final, but of the best ex-
PLANTATION that can at present. be
thought offor q natural phenomenon.
1t is II fact however, that the work of
digestion is seldom heard after the
night time growing.

Making 4 Business Call.

There are few of us who do not
have, at some time, to make a busi-
ness call. 1t may be upon teacher, a
merchant, an official or an acqualnt-
anee.
1t matters not upon whom we
cal. thsro ara some simple rules Of
conduct thai, while they ... .r-es "
always bring success, yet are so es-
sential that we are rarely able to
effect our errand without them.
One of these rules is, to always
call during business hours. Anoth-
er is, to know in advance exactly
what YOU wish to say, and what you
wish to say, and what you want the
other to do.
In making a call, always give
your name, either verbally or by a
card, unless YOU are certain that the
person addressed knows who you
are No one likes to listen to a
stranger.
Ihe next thing to be done is
to take the chair that is proffered-
for one ought always to be protfered.
Take it and sit down in it as COM
posedIy as If you intended to SIT
there the balance Of the day.
But be very careful THAI you do
not. State your errand, leave no
doubt in the mind of the listener
and to its nature, wait for the re-
ply, and then retire.
Say, simply, good morning"
good afternoon, or good night"
but be sure to take yourself out
with as much decision as you brought
yourself in.
Much can generally be affected by
a personal call. Much more can be
effected if the call be properly made.

markets mentioned. We can't
say what effect this will have at
