The Vintage in France. y


1t is satisfactory to note that, in spite
of the unfavorable weather which pre-
vailed during May and in tile beginning
of this month, good vintage is antici-
pated in the south of France. In the
Bordeaux district-thanks to the recent
improvement in the state OF the weather
the vines have made steady progress.
In Charentes, however. and the country
round matters are not sufficiently adj
vanced to admit of the expression of a
decided opinion; but in Lower Burgundy
the outlook is not particularly reaSSur-
ing. Many of the vines have been at
tackled by insects. In Burgundy proper,
however, the crop. as regards both quail
ity and quantity, is expected to be ex-
cellent. In Auvergne only medium
vintage Is anticipated. Notwithstand-
ing the violent thunderstOrms, accom-
panied by hail, which have broken over
the champagne country, the condition
of the vines is satisfactory, very little
damage having been sustained by the
plants. The reports from Algeria are
also very favorable, and the accounts
received from Spain show that the xhail
storms have been confined to only few
districts. Much wine is now being i'm
ported into France from Old and New
CASTLE; in short, the vintage prospects
are far more satisfactory than was the
case some weeks ago, and. taken all
round, the outlook is decidedly reassur-
ing.
1t is interesting to note, by the way.
that the Rheims chamber of commerce
recently estimated the value of the
champagne annually sold at the average
of rs, 0O0, 900 francs to 100000 francs.

100000 bottles of the sparkling wine
being yearly exported. Including the

in 1888 this figure was exceeded cOnSid-

has departed from the shores of Eng

Stories," which Messrs. George Rout-

eyes of educated Englishmen are so
often offended with the idiOsyncrasies
of American spelling in books presum-
ably prepared for this country that it is
quite relief to be told that as the type
and efectrotypes of "Funny Stories

as colour, honour, Wagon, etc.. are
spelt according to English authorities.
Mr.. Baruum is capital story teller,
and in his own inimitable style relates
the many comic incidents in which he
has played part during his half cent
ury of showman's life. The stories form
a most amusing volume.

The Silver King.

At the recent annual election of the Silver King Mining Company the Noble Barney party succeeded in re- gaining the control of the Silver King mine at the annual meeting by out voting the Lyle-Nevada Bank regime by representation of about 50,00O shares against 43,000. Following are the newly elected directors Geo. E, Gray, B. A. Barney, H. H. Noble, w. s. Lyle and c. H. Fish, the two last named being in the minority. Under the direction of w. s. Lyle the Silver King mine has been well managed during the past year. A very great saving in expenses was effected with. out retarding the development of the mine, and the following concluding paragraph of Superintendent Com stocks annual report is worthy of at tention, now that the stock is selling at a very low price: "The future pros poets are encouraging. We are mol done with exploration on the HOO anC 1900 levels; in fact, we are just in good working order. Assays from 110( have run from trace to 5 and ounces silver; 1900 from to ' ounces while in shaft, just above 1900, wt have had our best assays, which points to the fact that at no great depth w shall encounter quartz carrying suf ficient silver to make mining profit able" The company has a presen indebtedness of $11 ,27O. The officer for the ensuing year were appointed as follows: H. H. Noble, president George G, Gray, vice-president ant Aug. Waterman, secretary. Messrs Noble and Waterman held the sam offices last year.

Alkali Lands.

The reclamation of alkali lands IS becoming a question of deep import ance as the superiority of such lands becomes better appreciated and more practical, processes are invented for the work. The fact that the primer pal mineral ingredients of the so-call- ed alkaline salts so prevalent in Utah and other portions of the west, is one of the three "essential minerals" of plant food, explains why our mineral lands, when once under cultivation, should yield so long without fertilizing
 It is the residual potash that gives these lands their value. It Is the overcoming of the other minerals that makes reclamation in some cases very difficult. Some interesting experi- ments in this line are being carried on by Professor E. w. Hillgard, of the agricultural experiment station of Cal ifornia.
 A recent bulletin issued by him is thus summarized by the San Francis co Examiner. The salts of potash and soda which make up the alkali of California are the products of wear ing away of the soil, They are produc- ed in all rich soils. But in most soils the soda salts are leached out by the rains and carried away by the rivers to the sea. In the San Joaquin the rainfall is small and the drainage is bad. The salts are not carried of as they are produced. The soil is never leached out and the salts ac, cumulate from year to year. The evaporation of the moisture from the ground leaves the salts held in solu' tion as a deposit on the surface caus ing the rise of the alkali on the land during the dry season.
 The remedy follows from the cause It is to be found in washing out the soils by irrigation and draining th' water away. How is this to be done is in most cases a question for loca discussion.
 The object cannot be accomplished by merely putting water on the soil
 Such an expedient has naturally fail ed, unless at the time it was drained off from beneath. Otherwise the aka Ii has remained in the soil and will re appear in time. If the water is takel off by under-drainage, however, it i
 possible to leach out the soils so tha
 the alkali will not appear for ages. The example of California in solving
 the irrigation problem can be follow
 ed in retaining alkali lands. Tn excellence of these soils, so loni thought worthless, is becoming apprt ciated. The immigrants who toile across the plains of Nevada and CUTS ed them as the region of despair would be amazed at the sight of tn crops grown where water had bee brought to the desert. The da when a large amount of these ric lands will be made productive is sur to come, and the men who have tn : intelligence and the enterprise to ca ry out this work will reap the first Tt ward of it.-Ex.

Grafted Fruit.

"Why is it," remarked friend re- gently, "that grafted friut is always better than common fruit? Does the grating really improve it so much, or is there some other reason?"
 Certainly, as rule, grafting does improve the stock-the tree or branch that receives the cions used in making the graft-for the cions, successfully inserted, develop their own leaves, bark, wood, blossoms and fruit; and these are identical with the original tree from which the cions were taken.
 But this is not the idea which was ill the mind of the inquirer. His idea, and the idea of not few, is that by taking cions from poor fruit trees and uniting them with other trees h.,' grating the fruit from theso gratis becomes in.p-c7ud ny the process. This, as the reader. no doubt well un- derstands, is erroneous. And yet not long ago eight or ten men whose knowledge of cultural affairs in gener- al was so far advanced as to lead them to attend agricultural lectures took this erroneous ground; and the only man at the table who differed from them succeeded in convincing them of their error only when by mutual consent the matter was refer red to the lecturer on their return tc | the hall
 The great value of grating and bud ding (which are essentially the same is that when choice fruit is obtained it may be continued in all its excell ence, precisely as it is, and multiplied from the one original tree to millions if so desired.
 The stock simply maintains connec ton with the fructifying earth an( supplies the vitalizing sap. The cior producing the delicious fruit is gener ally many removes from the wil( state, but the stock is usually bette, 10 be the reverse, rough and strong speading it's roots far and wide anC gathering the sustenance which il it's sole business to collect and trans init to the all-controlling graft.
 One reason why the erroneous opin ion has been entertained is that graftet fruit is usually good fruit; for tn sufficient reason that no grafter wh, understands his business will vast his time in multiplying inferior fruit Added to this is doubtless the myster which attached to the operation in tn uninformed. And really it is myster ous being one of the most beautiful and interesting results of the co-pers ton of art with nature.-Gazette.

Utilizing Barn Yarns.

Prairie Farmer not long ago made a very sensible plea. This was to utilize the barn yard. Dairymen milk in sta bles, and through the summer the in closed lot adjacent runs to waste. Why not utilize it? It is the richest land on the farm. A dairyman this season put up temporary lane fences and converted his barn yard into a truck garden, with very successful results. As soon as the vegetables are harvested the temporary fencing will come down, straw will be stacked as usual in the yard, where also the stock will be turned on sunny winter days, as heretofore.
 Too many barn yards are nothing but cesspools, breeding questionable odors, if not pestilence. With no drainage pro- vided, the urine and liquid manure gray itate towards natural earth depressions, which are very often under the stable floor or about the sills. and there the collected filth breeds it's mischief. By all means have good drainage about COW barns. The odors generated from stag mated filth are quickly absorbed by the fresh drawn milk, and milk thus tainted | is absolutely poisonous

IN order thnt the public may full!

IN order that the public may fully | understand the decision of Judge kib- bey relative to the pay allowed the supervisors by law, we quote the iol- lowing act of the Fifteenth Legislative Assembly upon this point:
 Section l. Each member of the hoard of supervisors within this terri tory shall be allowed as compensation for their services five dollars per day for each days actual attendance at the sitting of said board, at which sit ting any county business is transacted; and twenty cents per mile actually travelled in going and returning from their residence to the county seat provided that only one mileage shall be allowed each member for each ses- sion. The clerk of the board shall certify to the probate judge of the county, at the end of the quarter, the number of days each supervisor has actually served during the quarter and the probate judge shall audit and ap- prove the claim, which claim shall be paid as other county charges are paid !; and provided further, that the total per diem and mileage of each mem Der of the board shall not exceed the following sums, to wit; The sum oi seven hundred dollars, in counties ot the first class; the sum of four nun dred and fifty dollars in counties ol the second class; and the sum oi three hundred dollars in counties oi the third class.
 Sec. 2. The sessions of the board as provided for herein are the regular quarterly sessions, sessions called un- der the provisions of any law m force, providing for extra sessions and aa- journed sessions, when an adjournment is necessary, for more than two days
 From the above definition of the sessions of the board, taken in connec- ton with the compensation section, It is clearly the letter of the law that the total compensation of the Superyls- ors is for the regular quarterly ses- sions as provided by law. Tlere IS doubt in the minds of the people amounting almost to certainty, that the limit of the compensation was in- tended to cover the services for year, but if such is the case the law is itseli at fault, for it is not capable of such construction. The judge could arrive at no conclusion other than that the compensation is the limit of the quarterly emoluments, however impos' sibie it might appear for the supervis' visors of counties of the first class to receive the sum of seven hundred dol lars per quarter at the rate of five dol lars per day.

Getting Monotonous.

Spear M. Williams, very unfortun- ate young man afflicted with dementia caused by epilepsy, was brought down from Mammoth on Friday evening of last week. violently insane. He had assaulted three men at that place and secured shot gun with which he pur- posed dispatching a few fellow mortals to the throne of grace little in ad- vance of natures usual method. He was examined before Probate Judge Benson on Saturday and committed to the insane asylum at Phenix, whither he was sent the following day.
 This man has twice before been con- fined in the asylum from this county and has as often been discharged, as cured, during lucid interval. From a harmless lunatic he has become a dangerous madman, unfit to remain at large He is also quite an expen- sive resource of the county, as he tray els to Phenix at the public expense with frequent regularity only to be set at liberty again in a few weeks ol months. The man is pronounced hopelessly insane in spite of the lucid intervals that apparently come to his mind, and it seems like carelessness or incompetence that turns him loose when temporary mental tranquility prevails for brief season.

A LATE LIME FROM HAYES.
The Corrective Properties of the Juices of CalifOrnia's Vegetable
 Alternatives Almost Sensational.

lady formerly of 1221 Mission St., but now of 400 Hayes St., S. F., writes to the Edwin w Joy Co. as follows: Mrs. H. T. Beverly, of Se- attle, resided with me last winter. She had long been sufferer from dyspepsia and waterbrash. Her stomach was so weak that for months at time she lived principally upon milk and the white of eggs. Among other things she tried one of the mineral sarsaparllas only to find that 1t gave her pains in the head and weak sinking spells. Having taken Joys Vegetable Sarsapa- rilla myself with great benefit in stomach troubles, induced her to discard the potash preparation and try your Vegetable compound. It began reinvigorating her stomach and in a short time helped her astonishingly. It ini- proved her appetite and strength to that extent that just before she left, she was beginning to return to solid food She authorized me to write you this statement accordingly"

A Difference.

An interesting difference of opinion arose yesterday regarding the crimi- nal aspect of a criminal bond after one of the bondsmen had withdrawn. The case in question is one in which Col. Hafiord was one of the bondsmen of J. $. Taylor in the sum of $25O. He yesterday notified Mr. Taylor that he was going to withdraw from the bond and did so. Judge Reilly qualified in his place. The clerk of the court took the bond to Court Commissioner Der ", who is sick with the grippe, and asked him if the bond was good one. The commissioner accepted the bond. The district attorney questioned the right or legality of the proceeding, holding that the release of one bonds man on bond annulled the entire bond, and advised the sheriff to arrest Taylor. The sheriff refuses to do so, having taken legal advice on the point in question and the matter rests in this shape this afternoon. It is claim ed that the release of a bondsman on a criminal bond affects the bond in a directly opposite manner from civil bond, that is that the release of a bondsman on criminal bond releases the other bondsmen, but the release of one on a civil bond does not destroy the validity of the bond. It is on this latter point that the county has ap- pealed the case of the county against A. J. Ritter and his bondsmen from the decision of Judge Barnes which was directly opposite to the above claim.-Prospector.

Supreme Court,
(NIiner. ]

Judge J. H. Wright, chief justice of the supreme court of Arizona, return ed yesterday from attending a session of the court. In conversation with him to-day, we learned that the case involving the validity of Governr Wolf ley's appointments and the validity of all legislation enacted after the 21st of March by the last legislature was elaborately argued before the supreme court on Monday and Tuesday, Janu- ary 20th and 21st. The question was brought before the court in the case of Clark Churchill vs. H. N. Alexander, respective claimants for the office of attorney general, and the mandamus case of George w. Cheyney, in which he seeks to recover his salary as sup erintendent of public instruction. The cases were taken under advisement and decision will probably be reach ed i'll ten days or two weeks. Among the questions involved is the validity of the appropriation bill. Adjourned terms of the supreme court will be held in Tucson on the second Monday in April, in Prescott on the first Mon. day in May and in Phenix on the first Wednesday in July, on the first Mon day in September and on the first Monday in November. The latter three terms will be held only for tho purpose of delivering opinions anC rendering judgments in cases heard a previous sessions.
 Chief Justice Wright will hold a tern of court in Florence for Associate Justice Kibbey, on the third Monday in April, while the latter will hold tn, regular term of court in St. Johns ol the first Monday in July, at which thu libel cases against Hon. R. E. Morri son will be tried.
 Judge Wright also said it was doubt full if a term of United States cour would be held in Prescott in March tt which it had been adjourned, owing to the serious affliction of Unite, States Attorney Jeffords, who is sul fering with rheumatism, and ill cas- of the failure to hold the term, tn cases against w. c. Dawes and othe cases pending, including those agains number of prisoners in Mohav county would be dismissed
