Homemade Furniture.

Homemade furniture is rarely success
ful and more rarely economical. Occa-
sionally a husband or wife has gift AT
carpentry, and can do wonders. II the
young husband can build furniture so
well that he would not hesitate 20 offer 70
sell it, with tair likelihood of getting a
purchaser, let him build all he can for
his home. 1t will be good, and of as
much comfort to the household as the
dainty needle-work his wife may have
the skill to fashion. But let the ordinary
wielder Of the hammer, saw and plane
beware. The materials used will usually
cost half enough or more to buy the fin
ished article at reliable shop. After the
furniture is done, and money, time and
strength has been devoted to it, what is
the usual result? y "toggled up' article
that is rarely comfortable, generally
cumbersome, and will come to pieces
within year. 4 chair made out of
barrel is always a barrel, even though
covered with raw silk and adorned with
velours squares. Far better an honest
cane-seated rocker than such hypocriti-
cal, vulgar makeshilt.-Harper' Bazaar.

COLUSA VS.. GLENN COUNTY.
Important Hearing to Begin Before
the Executive To-Day.
1t May End in Trial That Would Last
for Several Months-Is the
Glenn Act Valid?

An important hearing will be COM
menced before Governor Markham this
forenoon, the result OF which will be
of deep interest to the people of Colusa
and Glenn Counties. The Executive, by
virtue of the power vested in him, will be
called upon to determine whether or not
the contest over the alleged unconstitu-
tionality Of the Act organizing the County
of Glenn shall be allowed to get into the
courts.
Shortly after the new county was
formed the Colusa people applied to At
torney-General Hart for his opinion as to
the constitutionality of the Act, and at
the same time presented certain proofs of
alleged fraud in the election called by the
Commissioners.
The AttCrney-General inquired dill
gently into the subject and rendered an
opinion to the effect that the Act was con-
stitutiOnal, and that the proofs of fraud
presented to him were not sufficient in
| his opinion, TO invalidate the ele ,tiOn.
This opinion, it appears, has not been
accepted by the Colusa people as salts
factory, and they have appealed 10 the
Governor to overTule the Attorney Gen
eral and permit the use of tho States
| name III suit to determine the points at
issue in the courts.
In a conversation with RECORD
| UNION reporter on Saturday Attorney
General Hart said this was the propOr
method of procedure, as the Governor
has the right to overrule his opinion in
such cases.
I'm what manner, General, will the
matter be presented to the Governor ?"

Johnson to present their arguments and

be represented by y. i. Cotton and j. {.

"Do you appear in the case in any
way ?"
No, except to defend my own action
in the premises"

this matter is in one sense of consider
able Importance to Sacramento, as well
as to COlusa and Glenn Countless
In what way ?" asked the reporter
We'll, II Governor Markham should
conclude that the question at issue should
be adjudicated in the courts, the case may

ably VIII be. There would ne hundreds
of witnesses to be eXamined-perhaps Il

several months. Now it would be no
small item 10 the business men of this
city to have that number OF people com
ing and going all that time, to say moth
ing OF the large number that would be
kept here constantly"
The hearing before the Governor may
last for several days, as both sides will
doubtless present vOiuminous evidence.
and the arguments Of counsel will also be
elaborate.

CHILE.

Valparaiso has fallen; Santiago, the
capital, has been surrendered to the Con-
gressionalists; the Government gun
boats are in possession of the victors;
Balmaceda is fugitive, and Vicuna,
President-elect, has taken refuge under a
foreign flag. The people hail the insur-
gents with delight, and General Canto
and his troops are showered with flowers.
Such are the nervous headlines of the
news of the day from Chile. The out
come of the revolution has been what we
anticipated, and in the direction of the
sympathy of most of the people of the
world who are we'll informed concerning
the issues of the struggle.
The success of the Congressional arms
viii bring peace to the disturbed country.
There may be some fugitive fighting, but
Balmaceda cannot rally an army to aid
him to recover his lost fortunes. In all
probability the victors viii temper their
triumph with mercy, and not bring re-
proach upon their cause by wreaking
vengeance upon their fellow citizens who
have been arrayed against them. Should
they adopt less wise policy they will
deserve the condemnation of the civilized
world. They battled for the substructu-
raj principle of representative govern
ment, and having succeeded they are
bound to prove their capacity for self
government by such merciful conduct
toward the vanquished as viii win for
them the commentator of the world.

THE Forum believes that the marked
business changes of mercantile and COM
mercial firms into incorporated associa-
tions is on the whole movement in a
good direction, and it therefore approves
the ideas of j. Selwin TAFT. who advo-
Gates the Capitalization of business. The
idea of the Forum and its essayist is that
this change leads up to cooperation, since
in nearly all cases the employees of the
house are preferred as stockholders. They
thus are stimulated healthfully to exer-
ton and feel a due weight Of the respon-
sibility as partners. There is strength in
the suggestion, and we believe that it is
true that the change referred to is gem
orally successful where it includes en-
ployes of long standing as shareholders
in the business. So far as the public is
concerned it in no wise affects its dealing
with such establishments, but it is bene-
fitted by every instance OF man made
independent of mere service and inspired
by the ambition of fproprietorship.

The lawyer, having duly scratched his

But the best thing for you to do would
be to keep the eggs and let your neigh

A yyonderful sense Of smell.

The buzzard's wonderful sense of smell
is curious subject that has often been
discussed, the discussion of the matter
having resulted in a general uniformity
Of opinion among scientists that they To-
cate their food by their sense of smell
alone. O, l.. Hopkins, the noted biologist,
says that he has noticed that in Florida
they never leave the roots where the
night is spent, especially on damp, foggy
mornings, until the moisture has been
dried by the sun. They then move slowly
across the wind until a ''scent' is struck,
when they move more slowly s'up the
wind" until the carrion islocated. Some
times they will drift down the wind past
their prey, until they have struck the
scent, which they follow up until they
have found the object Of their search,
sometimes in the densest thickets. Mr.
Hopkins says that no has upon several
occasions killed wild hogs In the thickets,
and after dressing them and taking what
meat he wished would see twenty or
more buzzards coming down with the
wind. On one occasion they had discov-
cred some animal remains he had covered
up, and on another had found dead
snake which he had buried. st. Louis

Eve Cohen Bacharach was born in
Prague in the latter part of the Sixteenth
century. The mother, who was 'woman
ofgreat knowledge" carefully educated
the daughter, and together they took
great delight in studying rabbinical
literature. The most abstruse works
written by the learned men among her
people were thoroughly appreciated by
the youthful pupil. Later in life her
explanations of the FESTIVAL and peniten-
tial prayers" were listened to with rare
pleasure. She was, it is recorded, in
"Aramaic TRANSACTIONS and paraphrases
on the Bible quite at home" "No less
marked was her proficiency in Hebrew,
which she read and wrote with ease and
elegance"

When Many Men Want Her.

when Many Men Want Her.
The oblong wedge, the Maori order of
battle, advanced, singing in low tone.
and gesticulating in what they would
have called mild manner. On they adj
vanced, the movement raising no suspic-
ion in the breasts of their adversaries, it
being part of the customary ritual of the
war dance, until the thin end Of the pha-
lanx oyerlapped the Mania, and stood be-
tween them and the gates of the pa.
Suddenly change was visible in the
antics of the Ngatiroa. Their gesticula-
tions became violent, their eyes protrud-
ed, their heads were thrown back, and
their Threats uttered q mighty shout.
AS the cry passed their lips stream OF
warriors rushed up the banks of the
gully and joined the cluster of their com.
rades, now swollen to compact mass OF
600 mer.
When the Mania realized the ruse prac-
ticed upon them they never for mo-
ment thought of giving up the fair cause
of the incursion without struggle. Into
the pa poured both partiasr--the Mania to
rally round the girl; the Ngatiroa, except
the small party expressly told off TIC
carry away the lady, seeking every man
an opponent to wrestle with. Each party
was anxious to avoid bloodshed, both be-
ing "Tribes of the River" The uproar
was therefore greater than had they been
engaged in actual warfare, it being more
difficult to master man by strength
of muscle than to knock hole through
him. At length superior numbers pre-
vailed.
Those who fought around the lady
were dragged away. She was roughly
seized, and such tugging and hauling
ensued that, had she not been to the man.
ner born, she must have been rent in
pieces. AT last but one young man, Sc
cret admirer of the lady, retained his
hold. An active young fellow, he had 80
twisted his hands and arms into the girls
hair, and fought SO vigorously with his
legs, that he could not be removed until
he was knocked down senseless.
The contest ended, and the bride being
borne in triumph to the canoes, both par
ties proceeded to pick up their weapons
and smooth their feathers. Everything
had been conducted in the most honora-
BILE and satisfactory manner. --Ilieuten-

ence Monthly.
