How to Color a Meerschaum.

BOWL Stick a corn cob in the top
and let the smoke pass through the

with a thousand others. make
up the chorus which is dinned
in the smokers ears. This ordeal
the Town Talker went through recent
ly, DESTROYS of learning which was
really the correct way to turn the
dead white of his pipe to a creamy
brown he sought the advice of an ex
pert, who delivered himself as fol-
Iows:-"Fill the bowl only about two
thirds full of tobacco. Smoke very
slowly and draw very slightly until
the pipe has become hardened.
Handle the pipe carefully to prevent
it from being scratched, and never
scrape it while it is hot. This is the
whole secret" This expert testimony
would doubtless have been success
fully adhered to, but unfortunately
the Town Talker dropped his pipe
and smashed it to smithereens the
same day. The advice is given, how
ever, for the benefit of those who find
valuable meerschaums mingled with
their hosiery Christmas morning.

ROADS IN YoLo.

A Subject the Supervisors There are In
quiring Into.
Yesterday delegation from the Yolo
Board of Supervisors visited the town of
Washington, and from there went down the
river to the Paine break and thence to
Clarksburg, on tour of inspection.
The members of the Board are DESTROYS
of having something done toward getting
8 road into this city for the accommoda-
ton of citizens living near here One of
them stated that Yolo county would stand
portion of the expense of putting the
road near Washington in good order, and
thought that Sacramento should stand in.
as the latter would get the benefit thereof.
A RBcoRD UNION reporter saw the Super
visorial tourists last evening after their re-
turn from Clarksburg. They drove down
to the Paine break, but could not get any
farther in that direction, SO crossed on the
ferry and went down on the Sacramento
side as far as Clarksburg, which they
reached by the ferry at that point.
In regard TO road from Washington
out to the high land above the Bryte
ranch-a road that would enable the
farmers along the river to get to Sacra-
mento-one of the supervisors said that
surveyor would be sent to locate a road on
the high ground lying between the present
one and the railroad for couple of miles
west of Washington. There the road
would strike a cross-levee leading to the
Todhunter place, near the river, where it
would join the levee road. The cross.
levee, he said, could easily be enlarged so
as to make a good road. Mr. Todhunter
said be would give the right of way and
$500 toward the cost of building snch a
road.
There is considerable trade to be secured
by this city from the farming section along
the river. and it is to be hoped that some
means will be devised to get good road
thereto from the Yolo bridge.

Hop-Growers Who Prefer to do Their
Own Selling.

Hop Growers Who Prefer to do Their
Own Selling.
There was meeting of hop-growers on
Monday at which o. A. Lovdal of this
county presented a resolution condemning
the practice of consigning hops to be sold
on commission as detrimental to the best
interests of hop-growers, as it brings into
competition dealer with a commission
man. The resolution recited the fact that,
as the latter had nothing to lose, but every
thing to make by the greater sales that he
makes, he naturally infringes on the
grounds of the dealer by offering to place
the same hop, or one of equal quslity, at
lower rate. Thus he paralyzes the inter
ests OF the dealer and grower, inasmuch as
no one knows to what lengths he may 90
IN order to sell more hops. This naturally
forces dealers or buyers to handle hops on
COM ssion. Our present state of the
market proves the injury to which growers
were subjected in last years crop.
The resolution was unanimously adopted,
and the author favored the meeting with
extended remarks in the same line, in
which he held that the wholesale placing
OF hops in the hands of commission men
stops all offers from dealers, for, with men
beset by host of these men with hops to
sell, the brewer is Indifferent as to buying
or else be is wrongly impressed with the
idea that the country is full of hops. Last
years hops are to-day worth from 10 to %
cents in New York, yet they were sold as
low as cents East, or a net of 4 cents
here, loss of 6 cents on the cost of pro-
duction.
Continuing, Mr.. Lovdal said: "Let us
sell our hops at home on the ranch. Let
the dealers or buyers make you an offer
and expert your hops at home. You will
then have no trouble about hops returned
or sold low because of slack or overdried
hops. Never sell your hops or be too anx-
lous to place your hops on the market at a
price less than the cost of production" He.
advised growers not to sell under 10 cents
pound. In concluding he offered the
following, which was adopted:
WHEREAS, The hop-growers of California 90
hrmly resolve and agree among ourselves not
TO consign under any consideration. hops to be
sold on commission.
Resolved, That we demand and will require
to be allowed the tare of 81 pounds to the
bale, tare equal to that on New York hop
bales.

Suit Over Pledge Property Which Passes
Through Several Hands.
Frank Crosby, colored man, owed
gentleman named Bradley something like
$50 for hay and grain. Bradley became
little anxious about his money and &C.
quainted Crosby with that fact. Crosby
said he could easily restore his creditors
confidence, and did SO by turning over to
him span of horses, harness and wagon
worth, he says, about $500. He also gave
Bradley bill of sale for the property with
the understanding, though, that he was
only giving the property as security for the
payment of the debt.
Subsequently Bradley sold the property
to Charles Heiseu.
Under the statutes the holder of bill
