EMPEROR WILLIAM evidently in
tends to lead, not follow, in the great
est ofall questions, now ;agitating the
mind of FALL Europe. He says that
France, Switzerland, Belgium and
England were specified in his move
ment for mutual conference on labor
matters because the mining condi-
tons in these countries are more
analogous to the German conditions
than in those of the other countries,
and that if some concord of agree
nent can be reached here then the
conference will be extended to in
clude others. The emperor is wise
at least in this, in recognizing the
vast importance of the socialist ques-
ton and in preparing to meet the
far enough to 'eounteract
and defeat the anarchists who are so
ready to make use of the labor ques-
ton and the disabilities of working
men to inaugurate revolution.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1890.

"CALIFORNIA, . Journal of Rura
Industry" reaches the LIGHT from
the publishing house of the California
company, San Francisco. Judging
from this initial mum Der, the journal
will be a great aid to the grape, raisin
wine and fruit growers of the Pacific
slope. 1t has for its object the en-
couragement of all the rural indus
tries of California, and seeks to stimu-
late these and spread knowledge of
the great advantages which California
offers as means OF inducing capital
and labor to engage in these indus
tries so vital to the building up of the
state. The number on the LIGHT ia
BILE, No. /, Vol. l, seems to be every
way fitted to accomplish its work.
It has evidently capital and brains
and a liberal constituency at its back.
1t contains vast amount of valuable
information concerning the Soil, eli
mate, adaptations and productions of
that country. 1t is we'll illustrated,
a beautiful specimen of the printers
work and very readable. 1t cannot
fail to be very valuable addition to
the current rural literature of that
great state. 1t is issued monthly, and
if each numb Der is as replete with facts
and figures and description and sug-
gestion as this, the years numbers
viii make very interesting and un-
iQue volume.

THE following is from the Flores

ACOMEDY OF ERRORS.

A COMEDY OF ERRORS.
"Attention is directed to the errors
in the following extracts from two OF
three of our exchanges:
The San Antonio LIGHT says:
An attempt was made by D. B. Ra b.
ensburg to assassinate DR.. 3. F. Lay
ton, of Floresville, who had been at
tending his sick child. 1t is thought
he is maniac as the doctor had be-
friended him and there was no earth
ly reason tor the attack.
Neither mans name is given cor
rectly in the above"
The item referred to appeared in the
state news column of the LIGHT, it
was noticed in the leading dailies and
the dispatch was condensed from
them without in any way altering the
names or initials of the parties. The
following dispatch, referring to the
same occurrence is from the Calves
ton New
FLORESvILLE, Tex, Feb. l2.-H. B.
Rabensburg, who was arrested sever
al days ago for an attempt to assassin
ate DIR. l.. F. Layton, is still in Jail,
but it is supposed his relatives will
procure his release on bond in few
days.
With the exception of one initial in
each mans name there is no differ
ence in the names Of the persons, and
so very slight a mistake as that would
not at all mislead as to their identi-
ties. These are the names as pub
Iished by the Texas press. If the
LIGHT is in error, the Floresville pa

FREE EDUCATION FOR GIRLS.

How Girls Can Get a College Edu-
cation Without Cost.
A most praiseworthy movement is
about to be set on foot by the Ladies'
Home Journal Of Philadelphia. II
proposes to give to any young girl OF
16 years or over who will send to it,
between now and January LIST, 1891,
the largest number of yearly subseri-
bers to the Journal, complete educa-
ton at Vassar College or any other
American college she may select.
The education offered includes every
branch of study, with every expense
paid, the Journal agreeing to educate
the girl irrespective of the time re-
CURED or the expense involved. To
this, is also pinned second offer
which guarantees to any girl of l6 or
over who will secure 1000 yearly
subscribers before January 1st, a
full term of one year at Vassar
or any other preferred college, with
all expenses paid, thus making it pos
sible for any number of young girls to
receive free educations at the best
colleges. Any girl can enter into the
competition, and any such can be
thoroughly posted by simply writing
to The Ladies' Home Journal at 435
Arch street, Philadelphia. The man
agement says that 1t has been led to
its generous offers by the fact that
there are thousands of parents
the country anxious to
educate their daughters, and yet
who cannot afford the expense. This
step helps to a comparatively easy
of the problem, since it
throws free education into the hands
ofany bright and active young girl. |
The Journals movement is one that
certainly cannot be too Highly COM
and praised.

THE Californian says that that
state has just closed the most pros
porous year in her history, a year
that has seen more wealth produced
from her soil than any previous year.
From the figures given, California in
1889 deposited $87,OOO,OOO IN her
saving banks; produced $1,000, 600
gallons of wine, 100000 boxes of
raisins, 10000 pounds of prunes,
50,0OO,O00 of dried fruits, i 300, COO
boxes of oranges, $4,000, 900 pounds of
beans, 10000, 900 centals barley,4 co.,
600 pounds hops, $4,000, 900 pounds
of wool, exported 10000, 600 centals of
wheat and 1000, 900 barrels of flour,
Her wool and hay crops were valued
at $50, 900, 900, her manufactured pro-
ducts at $3.50, 0OO,0 900 and her mineral
products $4,000. This is the year in
which some smart alick of the press
has reported California as more
unprosperOus than any former time
in ner history This kind of unprosper-
ity seems to agree mighty we'll with
the Pacific slope.

A Girl Kills a Deer.

Addie Vareles, a young girl about
Is years of age, who lives with her
parents on the Calaveras River, cap
tured a deer one day last week and
at once became the heroine of the
country. The Prospect says the girl
heard some dogs barking in the di
rection of the river and ran down to
where the dogs had a buck deer
bayed in hole of water.
She returned to the house, and the
only weapon she could find was a
butcher-knife. Her presence encour-
aged the dogs, and when she reap
peared on the scene the dogs sprang
at the deer, and with the aid of Addie
the buck was thrown down, and in
less time than it will take to tell the
story the deer's throat was cut from
ear to ear. Addie says it was no
small task to hold the animal down
with his throat cut, but she knew
to let go or the buck before it was
dead would endanger her own life.

THE MASTER BUILDER.

The Truth is . builder that buiIdeth slow
Yet builds eKceedingfy strong;
Each scanning, inoonseQuast trivial part
Is tried with the test of masters art;
With the delicate touch OF an artists hand
The Hgbtest and tiniest grain Of sand
Is arranged in its place In that edifice grand
Whose architect never goes wrong.
The Truth Is builder that few may know,
The work Is SO wondrously still;
Noiselessiy, cesselessly delvipg the earth,
Selecting, inspecting each object of worth,
Exploring the depths OF the sea and the air
Or the realms Of the infinite everywhere
Treasure Of value beyond compare
Is gathered with consummate skill
The Truth is builder that buildeth slow,
Yet the edince stands for aye;
When glittering records Of warriors deeds
Bewildering rules Of Philosophers creeds,
The dogmas Of schools and political schemes,
Fanatical foIies, enthusiasts dreams,
And all Of the rubbish with which the world
teens,
AS stubble has vanished away
The Truth is builder that few may know.
And yet all the world may see;
For tribute is levied at every ones door,
The weak and the humble each add 70 the store,
And in that great future how great the surprise
If we, as the shadows escape from our eyes,
Find the simple have often done more than the
wise
In building that home for the free.

These projects have now been discarded in
favor of plan which aims to use the Seine
and its affluents merely as feeders of a ship
canal which is to follow a straight line
from Rouen to Paris.
The length of this artificial water way
will be about 10 miles, the depth 20 feet,
and the breadth sufficient to allow two

A Wise Caution to Women.

Speaking OF shopping. l never go into one
of the great city stores but see women
laying themselves open TO positive danger
from communicating disease. Wishing to
match some sample" of ribbon or fabric,
they search for the piece taken from home
in their portmonnaie, meanwhile holding
bank notes and efttimes coin between their
lips or teeth. The act is athou, ;htless one,
but none the less Of the most dangerous
kind. Money is handled by all c sses,
goes into and out of houses and families
where sickness prevails, and the disease
often lurking in a bank bill or on the face
of a coin Is as probable a. il Is possible
And Yet | constantly see women, in mo-
ments Of thoughtlessness. bringing this
danger upon themselves The practice is
one which cannot be too carefully guarded
against. In our changing climate il Is
difficult enough to retain good health-we
do not need thoughtless actions, ike the
one indicated, TO unnecessarily make the
chances Of sickness greater.-Edward W

Park Loungers Were Puzzled.

1t was little past noon and the basin IN
City Hall park, at the rear OF the post
Office, was full. A score or so of boot
blacks and small terrier we're chasing
i bIg rat across the park. To rat was
hari pressed and it was doliass TO dimes
gaInst his life as he rushed toward the
low wall surrounding the fountain, dodg
ing vicious blows from the boxes in the
hands of the bootblacks as he ran. He
reached the parapet first by about four
tails lengths, and as he sprang upon it the
dog was so good second that the CANNES
teeth snapped close behind him like the
jaws of a steel trap. Without moments
hesitation the rat plunged into the water,
and with equal precipitancy his pursuer
jumped after him.
1t was a cold bath. however, and it
quickly cooled the terriers ardor After
splashing about for few seconds. he swan
to the edge of the basin, where half dozen
grimy hands dragged him out, and twice
as many mouths rallied him for his failure
as he lowered his tail and trotted away
shivering and much detected.
But where was the rat? He had not
come to the surface after his first plunge,
and the water was quite sufficiently clear
to show that he was not lying, dead or
alive, on the bottom. lie had disappeared
as completely as though the earth, instead
of the water, had swallowed him up. He
may have dived into the mouth of the
drain pipe, or found some other subaque-
Gus passage to his natural haunts, the
sewers; or he may have been suffocated on
the voyage.
