THE DISTRICT FAIR.

The people of Sacramento, notably the
business men, should not forget that the
Twenty-sixth District Fair-Amador and
Sacramento Counties-is to be held at
lone, September 1st, I'd, Sd and 4th. Not
enough attention has been given in the
past to these local fairs. Sacramento has
by no means manifested the interest that
it should in this district exposition. Good
policy dictates that we should do a great
deal to make the lone Fair success. The
interests of the two counties are largely
common. They possess the requisites
for maintaining an excellent annual fair.
These yearly local gatherings can be
made, and should be, local exchanges, at
which the people of the two counties can
become better acquainted, not only with
each other, but with the natural ad-
vantages and resources of the sections.
Trade reciprocity can be much cultivated
at these local fairs and common interests
greatly conserved. AS the stronger and
wealthier county, we owe to Amador our
kindest aid, and we trust that this year it
will be extended in generous spirit, and
that Sacramento will not only send eX-
hibits to the District Fair, but that our
people will attend the exposition in large
numbers.

Common Sense in bathing.

4 dip in the sea once, or even twice, a
day will do a vigorous person no harm,
but those who are not strong should be
careful says "A writer in the LadieS' Home
Journal. If after coming out of the
water, there is a sensation Of freshness
and exhilaration of renewed life and
vigor. the bath has been beneficial.
When, however, the bather looks blue,
and feels languid, there is not sufficient
vitality for proper reaction from the chill
of the water, and it has done harm. Del
icate people can easily wash themselves
to death. There is an impression
amongst those who have been brought
up in refinement, that daily ablution OF
the whole person is absolutely necessary
to cleanliness and health. Even those
who do not practice it recommend it, and
are shocked at the mere suggestion of the
omission of the morning tub. Bathing is
a delightful luxury, and when it has been
long INDUCED in is Indispensable to COM
fort, but like other Injuries. there are
circumstances that should modify its use
1t is too exhausting for persons whose
vitality is low and who need all their
nervous energy to carry on the functions
of life. These should, as q substitute, rub
the surface of the body briskly with a
piece of Turkish toweling wrung out of
tepid water, SO as TO be damp, but not
wet. When they take full bath, it
should be IN comfortably warm water.
This may be either seawater heated, or
water with sea-salt added TO it.

THOSE who are forever seeking for
offenses are usually gratifed. 1t is the
easiest thing imaginable to be miserable.
Certain people go through the world by
exposure, inviting assault, and they gem
orally receive the kicks they solicit.
These beings are invariably suspicious,
constituting the most trivial inadvertence
into malice directed against them. 1t was
Charles Lamb, we believe, who described
this class of people as enjoying their
own suffering and taking exquisite pleas
ure in self-inhicted pain" 1t is odd that
any should prefer bruises and aches to
their absence. Fortunately for humanity
mostmen hold pleasure to be preferable to
pain, and joy to be infinitely more de-
sirable than sorrow. Difficult as it is TO
believe it, yet there are those who, like
the widow in new weeds, fancied that
she was envied the distinction of woe,
and consoled her friends with the re-
mark that if they were patient they would
have a funeral of their own some day.
In all the walks of life there are dis
ordered souls never so well pleased as
when fancying that some one has will
fully wronged them. In literary walks
these ultra sensitive people who rake in
the muck heap are quite numerous. 1t
is absolutely cruel to disabuse these poor
creatures. If in their weak delusion that
some one has smitten them they find
consolation, it is only kindness to let
them revel in their misery.

whether one, or two, or three lines shall
make small or a large percentage of
profit upon their investment. Capital is
coward and fees from danger; it can
always take care Of itself and needs no
fostering attention on the part of city
government. 1t never can be coaxed
into doing that which it does not con-
ceve to be to its own advantage. When,
therefore, it asks leave to invest and to
bring the south side of the city closer to
the market centers all reason and all
permit ISSUE

CURIOUS CUSTOM OF ANIMALS .
The Huanaco, Feeling Death Approach
ing. Goes to Its GRAVEYARD.

1t is well known that at the southern
extremity of Patagonia the huanacos
have dying place, a place to which all
the individuals inhabiting the surround
Ing plains repair at the approach of death
to deposit their bones. Darwin and Fitz-
roy. fist recorded this strange instinct in
their personal narratives, and their OBJ
servations have since been fully con-
tirmed by others. The best known of
these dying or burial places are on the
banks OF the Santa Cruz and Gallegos
Rivers, where the river valleys are COW
cred with dense primeval thickets~ of
bushes and trees of stunted growth, says
writer in Longn1af'S Magazine. There
the ground is covered with the bones of
countless dead generations. 1.-The ami
mails" says Darwin, Sin most cases must
have crawled before dying beneath and
under the bushes.'' A strange instinct

its habits, a dweller all it's life long on the

a dim, immeasurable past, so many of
this race have journeyed hither from the
mountain and the plain to suffer the
sharp pang of death, that, to the imagina-
ton, something of it all seems to have
passed into that hushed and mournful
nature. And now one more, the latest
pilgrim, has come, all his little strength
spent in his struggles to penetrate the
close thicket, looking old and gaunt and
ghostly in the twilight, with long, rag
ged hair. staring into the gloom out Of
death-dimmed, sunken eyes. One artist
we have who might show it to us on can
vas, who would be able to catch the feel

passionless tragedy ofnature-the painter,

IF the dispatches from Shanghai are
one-half true, the foreign powers have
trouble in store for them in China. That
a revolution against the Tartar dynasty is
being fomented appears to be certain,
and the assaults upon Europeans by Chi
nese are evidence of the disposition to
involve the powers with the Imperial
Government, with the hope, pending
such difficulty, to make the revolution
airy stroke and win. Nor is it by any
means certain that the Imperial Govern
ment can hold its own against the rebels.
For the feeling antagonistic to the Tartar
dynasty has been growing for several
years, and is now of wide extent in the
Empire. Human is but small section it
is true, but it is the hot-bed of rebellion
and discomfort, and has been for twenty
years past; its men are notably good
fighters; they are better soldiers by far
than any that can be mustered in the
Empire, and they possess the military
virtue of never confessing defeat

Assuming for the years during which
the observations Of the product were ION
account of frequent calls for samples) not
as full as during the last, the same aver
age ratio as to the weight of the two
crops and the percentage of dry stalks
yielded, we find that the product has been
at an average rate of about 800 pounds of
dry stalks per acre for the first cut and
about $500 pounds for the second. This
gross weight, of course, would be some
what less in the dry air OF the interior of
the State; but the figures show that on
strong soils the expectation of eighteen to
twenty thousand pounds per acre, where
four cuts can be made, is not extrayagant.
The minimum products from dry stalks
is estimated TO be 10 per cent. of raw mer-
chantable fiber. Upon these data an ap-
proximate estimate of the crop, and of its
financial outcome in the several climatic
regions of the State, may be based.
1t is hardly necessary to remind any
intelligent farmer that only strong soils
can be expected to produce, in one sea-
son, a crop of ten tons of dry stocks of
any kind, and that few can continue to
produce such crops for many years with
out substantial returns to the land. no
matter how fertile originally; but there is
no reason why the offal of the ramie
crop-the leaves and stalk-trash-should
not be regularly returned to the soil The
leaves can be, and are usually, dealt with
by stripping the stalk on the ground,
leaving them where they grew. AS to
the stalks, it is true that with three or
four cuts per season it will be difficult to
deal with the large mass of refuse by
spreading it on the stubble although in
the more northerly portions of the area
of cultivation it may be desirable to use
this material for protection against frost.
But as the return must either be made,
or fertilizers purchased, the proper mode

bulky and convenient for spreading on
the stubble after the last cut. This,

breaking and beating is effective to a
degree which it would be impossible to
obtain in most climates like those of LOU
lslana or Guatemala, except by artificial
heat, which, as stated, is therefore gener-
ally used in connection with the wet pro-
cess. Hence, the dry mode of working
promises exceptional advantages where,
as in the interior of this State, the dryness
of the summer air is proverbial. The
dry process also possesses the advantage
that each machine can be kept running
continuously on practically uniform ma
terial; while in the wet mode of treatment
the plants must, in large field, either be
worked at very different degrees of ma
turity, or else the crop must be attacked
with a large number of machines, in or
der to secure uniformity of the product,
after which the machines will lie idle. It
would therefore seem, on the most gen
eral principles, that where the dry pro-
cess is climatically feasible it offers adj
vantages over the other method. provided
an equally good merchantable product
can be turned out.
Without discussing the merits of the
different machines now offered to pro-
ducers as guarantee that their crop
when grown will be convertible into a
merchantable article, and Of which l am
personally not at present fully informed,
1t should be said as regards the culture tof
ramie, that by actual trial it has been
found to be readily feasible in all the
larger valley regions of the State, so far
as the successful growth OF the plant is
concerned, but that it will doubtless
prove most profitable where long grow
ing season, combined with irrigation,
permits OF making three or four cuts an
nually. In the Kern Valley there is little
difficulty i'll getting four cuts of good size
and quality, and the same is probably
true on the stronger soils as far north as
Fresno, and southwark in the valley of
South California. In the Sacramento
Valley three cuts can doubtless be OBJ
tanned, at least when irrigation is en-
ployed, or III naturally moist land. At
Berkeley and elsewhere Oh the immedi-
