Tho Mississippi ColIepo

Cal. Bowen, of Pickens, a member
OF the board of trustees Of bhe Clemson
Agricultural College ofsoat Carolina,
mas Just returned from Starkville, and
says that there are know at the Missis-
sippi Agricultural College 250students.
FROM what he saw of the institution
ana from his conversation with Preei-
dent Leo, he was convinced that there
was no doubt OF the college being n
success. 1t had been seriously ham
pered in the past by opposition in the
State and it's operations had in late
years been pinched by small appro-
prlations. Last year, however. the
appropriation had been liberal enough
to put the college on q botter footi1p
than ever before. Another soriouS
drawback had been destruction bv fire
OF number of the college buildings a
year ago. The barns nnd stables were
burned, which had uecsssitated the
sale of number of the cattle and the
temporary limitation of some of the
practical farm operations included in
the college course. Temporary build.
lngs Wero now occupied in place of
those burned. -GreenVilIe News

"EarS POlite."

Some Mexicans hardly ever buy money purse, and carry their small change either tied in the cor ner of handkerchief or stuck in their ears. Now, this may sound strange, but nevertheless is true. Yesterday the reporter met one of these Mexicans in the street with whom he was acquainted and asked how much money he carried in his ears. The Mexican condescended to satisfy his curiousity and began to empty his auricles of their con- tents in the presence of all by islanders, and how much money would the reader guess he had? The money was counted and he had just $1.25 all in ten cent pieces and nickels. This is true, and no exag- geration, and there are a dozen per sons who saw and counted the money.-Star.

Bark and Bite.

It is evident that the Republican
 party, in and out of Congress is
 not at all enthusiastic over the
 force bill. Its attitude is apologet-
 ic and half hearted. The scheme
 is not pushed as it would be if its
 authors were in love with it. In
 fact, it may be seriously doubted
 whether there was ever any serious expectation of passing it. The Re
 publican leaders in Congress are shrewd men. They knew last De- cember just the sort of reception their project would encounter in the Senate. If they had intended to make a genuine fight for it they would hardly have been likely to let 1t go until the middle of sum- mer before taking it up. They would have bundled it through the House under the gag before the Christmas holidays, and allowed the Senate to wrestle with it all the rest of the session. As 1t was, they waited exactly seven months before putting it through the House. They the Tariff, the River and Harber and several other important bills to get the right of way ahead of 1t in the Senate. AS things are now, even revolution could hardly pass the bill before October, which would be too late to permit it to go completely into operation in time for the coming elections.
 The object of the adventurers who threw this frebrand into our national prosperity was probably merely to revive the dying animos- lties of the war, and SC to open the way for a new bloody-shirt cam paign to distract public attention from the tariff and silver. It is a | and wicked expedient and should make political outcasts of its authors. The new brotherly feelings between the sections is too precious to be turned into hate for the sake of providing offices for gang of reckless buccaneers.-Ex- lminer.

Trying to Raise Coffee.

Some time ago the Fowler broth CTS ordered 100 coffee trees from the district below the City of Mex leo devoted to that berry. The young plants, ranging in height from a foot to eighteen inches, ar rived three weeks ago, and were distributed to the city and country plazas, the capitol grounds and the Improvement company. Fowler Bros. retained a sufficient number for experiment on their own ranch es. The trees out on the capitol grounds are reported by gardener Smith to be in very fine condition.
 This is a new venture in our val ley and no accurate prediction can be made as to when ripe berries may be expected. Itis not wild dream, however, that those now planting may in a few years, be able to pick, roast, grind and drink their own coffee right at their own doorsteps.-Phenix Herald.

Many people are under the inn pression that cucumber is very in- digestible, and when they eat it they do so under protest and with ap- prehension of possibly dire conse- quences. How this delusion can have arisen it is difficult to say, un- less itss be that cucumber is often eaten with salmon and other indi- gestible table friends. It is not the cucumber, however, but the salmon that sits so heavily upon our stom- ach's throne. Cucumber, in fact, Is very digestible when eaten proper ly. It cannot, indeed, be otherwise when it is remembered that 1t con- sists mainly of water, and that those parts which are not water are al- most exclusively cells of a very rapid growth. In eating cucumber it is we'll to cut 1t in thin slices and then to masticate them thoroughly. Even the vinegar and the pepper that are so often added to it are of service to the digestion if not taken in excess.-London Hospital.

\ Mountain Home.

c. 5. Fly has returned from the Chiracahua mountain where he has been for the past month planting and sowing. He has taken ranch on the topmOst ridge of the noun tains, which he describes as being a fairvland. This location is oyer 5000 feet above sea level, and the water which is in abundance, is as cold almost as ice water. He has planted seven acres mostly to alfal- ia, which is growing rapidly. His immense water supply will be con- trolled in one large lake which he will stock with mountain trout.
 The plateau is quite extensive and the soil is rich black loam to depth of many feet. The highest peaks of other mountain ranges can be overlooked from this spot. The trees are immense and mostly pine which grow very tall.
 Some views of the country which he has taken are simply grand. He will return in the course of week.

GOred to Death.

A Mexican boy, aged about 16 years was killed last Sunday after noon in the Silver Lake pasture, by an infuriated steer which he was driving. The steer first turned and attacked the horse which the boy was riding, killing the animal al- most in it's tracks. The steer then went for the boy, and before he could be secured, the maddened beast had driven one of its sharp horns into the boys body. The un- fortunate lad lived but a few hours, and before night he was a corpse. The steer was finally driven into the slaughter pen and killed. What become of the carcass after that, de- ponent saith not, but, for though we know, may be now in splendid bologna sausages, or tender steaks tickling the palates of Tucson's epicures. The boys funeral took place the same eyening.-Tucson Star.

\ Meteor.

A celestial phenomenon. in the way of an unusually large meteor, was seen a few miles south of this city week ago to-day.
 It crossed the heavens from east to west and, apparently fell in the Tucson mountains, west of the old SanXavier church. It was as large as half bushel measure and left a luminous track in it's course. The Indians were much excited and fill ed with fear, for, said they, it is an evil omen and God is about to visit ed our earth with dire calamitles, disease and great famine," and un- less we pay some money into the church, (meaning the Catholic church ], there will be great suffer ing among us."
 Since then the poor Indians have come together and have had a grand pow-wow, and have agreed with the "Great Spirit" to pay him a sum of money to spare them. While the nickels and dimes are being gathered to raise the desire amount, they maintain a constant fear and pray three times a day. Tucson Star.

The Union Stock Yards.

The great stock yards to be es- tablished at Baden by the Armour syndicate will accomplish more for San Francisco than any other en- terprise of recent years. Unfortu- nately a story that has gained circu- lation about the connection of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad that is to say, the Atchison-with the scheme seems to have no tangi- ble foundation. There is good req son to hope that the Atchison will soon build into San Francisco, and it is quite likely that it may come in from that direction, but there Is no ground for believing that it has anything to do with the stock yard project.
 But the stock yards will be a great thing in themselves. It is the intention of their projectors to reach out for all the trade of the Pacific Ocean. Not only California, but Australia, Oceanica and all the other countries on this side of the world will be supplied with meat. This means more to the San Fran cisco steamer lines than Govern ment subsidies. It insures outward cargoes and clinches the advantage a line starting from San Francisco always has over one starting from a mere railroad station.
 The necessary labor in the stock yards, abattoirs, packing houses and other branches of the new en- terprise will furnish work to all the men now employed in the slaugh tering business in this city and hundreds more. It will put hun dreds of thousands of dollars year in circulation in the local channels ot trade. It will build up the southern portion of the city. Best of all, it will probably abolish the horrible nuisance of Butcher town and enable South San Fran cisco to grow in comfort without the necessity of living with a spring clothes-pin on it's nose.
 The promise is made that the slaughtering operations shall be conducted neatly, scientifically and inodorously. Experience shows that they can be. The Union Stock yards of Chicago are situated in the very center of the city and form one of the show sights of the town. The process of killing hogs at the rate of one a second is considered more admirable spectacle than the Pitt Palace or the Vatican Library. How many San Franciscians ever thought of taking a stranger through Butchertown? The con- struction of scientific abattoirs, such as we are to have a Baden and at Point Pinole, is a sign of ad- vancing civilization, like fine build ings, fast presses and smooth pave ments.-Examiner.
