TOM SCOTS FEAT.
He Gives the Amateur Athletes Some
Points on Weight Throwing.

| Points on Weight Throwing.
For years Tom Scott-he of the magnif
cent physique and luxurious moustache-
has been known to fame as the pride o
Sacramento in the athletic line. His ad
mirers have asserted that when it came tC
hurting heavy weights, nobody else was it
it with Tom. Some even went so far as L
claim that their favorite could, if put tc
the test, throw a l6.pound shot over the
moon.
But, in an unlucky moment, Tom was
| robbed of all his glory.
He went out 10 East Park on Thanks.

letic Club games and contests. He vas
| accompanied by buyly young man, who
| is said to be Toms protege, and destined

When the sho,-pu,ting contest was an

became intensely interested and watched
each amateurs work critically. The best
throw made was IS feet IL inches, and the
second best only five inches less.

Everybody was willing, and the burly
young man slipped out of his coat and
vest.
Every breath was held as Toms protege
poised himself on the mark before heaving
the bullet. Thud Tspe-lines were
stretched, and it was discovered that the
shot had dropped over four feet short Of
twenty eight feet. Tom looked chagrined
but babe his protege try again. Il was nc
use, though. Try as he would, the young
man could not come anywhere near the
throws of the amateurs. Then Tom got
mad, and declared that he could show them
something, if his protege could not. But il
mast have been an off day for the Gale
donian gladiator, for he could not even get
the ball over the mark reached by the burly
young man.
To make matters worse, everybody
laughed.
Tom swears that something was wrong
with the ball.

RESOLUTION consolidating the offices of
Sheriff and Tax Collector.
Sheriff McMullen, when spoken to in
regard 10 the matter, said there was moth
ing in that statement that was not gener.
ally known. The point that he made, in
mis- protest before the Election Canva:sers,
was that the Board had never complied
with the law, which declares that 1.-The
Board OF Supervisors shall, by proper or
dinance, etc, consolidate the offices. This,
Mr.. McMullen says. was not done.
On the other hand, Mr.. Buehey and
other friends of Sheriff elect Stanley claim
that the point is trivislly technical, and
that there is nothing in it.

extenuating circumstances, but far better q

is OUR EDUCATION PRACTICAL?
It is an old saying that one extreme fol-
lows another. This is more or less true in
religion, in politics, and in short, all hui
man affairs. The mind is somewhat like
a pendulum when drawn from its center
of gravity to one side it swings beyond its
center to the other side.
Social, economic and educational ques-
lions ere presented for consideration; we
think the golden mean has not been
reached in their solution by others, and we
forthwith swing to the other extreme, and
wonder why our views have not been held
BY all that have thought on the sub
iect. The truth is somewhere between us,
and the pendulum of thought will sooner
or later point to it.
In any discussion upon the subject OF
practical education, confusion is apt to
arise from our definition of practical. 1t is
derived from a word that means to do.
Now, in the rush of Americans TO do some.

often to the exclusion of being something
mighty, they are inclined to place very

Diamond Market an Index TO Wealth
From the Jeweler Weekly.
The worlds stock of diamonds has
increased enormously in the last
fifteen years. In 1876 the output of
the African mines was about 500, 900
carats, last year it was about 4,0OO,O0O
carats, and the syndicate which con-
trolls all the principal mines asserts
that it has 10000, coo carsts in sight.
Meantime the demand for diamonds
has greatly increased, and they are
higher in price than they were year
ago.
In one respect the diamond indus
try is different from almost all others.
Its product is never consumed. or
gold and silver much larger amount
than most people would believe is lit
orally consumed in the arts past re-
covery, but a diamond once cut goes
into the worlds great stock and is
liable to come upon the market at any
time. The worlds annual purchase
of diamonds, which appear to be
steadily increasing, even at advanced
prices, Is an index to the amount of
the surplus earnings it can afford to
expend in luxury.

Loving Them.

A baby carriage stood in front of q

the pillow, its black nose close to the
baby's cheek.
By the carriage stood a ragged lit
tie waif, dirty, with scarcely enough
clothes for decency. She stroked in
turn the baby and the puppy.
A lady, passing by, noticed the
strange pictnre-the cunning little
dog, the ragged child. The baby's
mother was in the shop. "Are you
caring for these?" said the lady to
the waif.
A wonderful smile lit up the dirty
little face. mo, please, ma m I'm
