Religion versu. Philosophy.

Religion is personal matter. and the less time man gives to philoso- phizing and generalizing the sooner he will come to understand that he, as an individual soul, needs to have direct communion with God, in order to get the most and the best out or this life, and to look forward with joyous anticipation to the life which is to come. Let them, severally, seek first the kingdom of God; personal faith secures comfort and content- ment, while the fruit of philosophic speculation is unrest. = The Interior.

Every Soul Respon.i be.

Single is each one born into the world; single he dies; single he re- ceives the reward of his good deeds, and single the punishment of his evil deeds. When he dies his body lies like a fallen tree upon the earth, but his virtue accompanies his soul. Wherefore let us harvest and garner virtue, so that we may have an in- separable companion in traversing that gloom which is so hard to be traversed. = Mana.

Are congr.ga.ion.i.... Dying Out.

The statistics of Congregations families, just published, would seem to indicate that the Puritan stock is slowly dying out. The births are fewer than the deaths. The births are, presumably, measured with toler- able correctness by the number of baptisms, and. out of 325, 900 families reported. the baptisms of infants among last year were less than 9. 900. This would give one baptized child to about thirty-six families, and. unless infant baptism has been very gener- ally dropped among the Congregations alists, it would indicate that the Con- gregational families are contented with birth rate that is nearly as low as the lowest rate in Europe. France shows twenty i've to the thousand; Eng land reaches nearly thirty-four. Prussia and Italy thirty-six, and Hun- gary goes beyond forty-three. while the New England Congregationalists record only twenty-seven.

THE MEN WHO KNO ".

There is no line of business in
which the patronage comes from
all classes Of the community to
Isuch an extent as does that of the
railroads, and there is no class of
business men who advertise more
extensively than do the managers
of the various lines. Through
long experience they have presum,
ably learned how to advertise as
we'll as any class of business men.
The placing of their advertising is
entrusted to general passenger
agents. At the recent meeting in
Chicago the results Of their educa-
ton in the art of advertising were
made manifest by the adoption Of
a resolution that they would here
after use only legitimate newspa-
pers for advertising purposes and
that they would not under any
circumstances use the class of pub
locations known as ''snaps." The
men who get the business for the
railroads have learned in the ex-
pensive school of experience that
painting rocks and fences does not
interest the public and that adver-
tisements in hotel registers and
theatre programmes are not read.
They have also learned that the
value of handbills and dodgers,
which people do not care for and
which they throw away and resent
as an impertinence, is nil. They
have learned that the only medi-
um by which they can reach the
entire public in manner that will
command attention is through the
columns Of newspapers which the
public buys because it wants to
read them and which are conse-
quently read. This is a lesson
that is being rapidly learned by
business men of all classes, though
perhaps not as rapidly by any one
class as by the railroad men, who
have probably the best opportuni-
fly to study the effects of advertis-
ing and who are restricted in their
expenditures by the necessity of
obtaining at least a dollars worth
for every dollar expended.-S. +.

TIE population of Canada has
ceased to grow. There is more
debt and more taxation every year,
but no more people. The Domin-
ion debt to day is quite $290,000,-
900. and Sir John thinks nothing
of adding ten or a dozen millions
every year. His ordinary expen1-
itures for federal purposes reach
$40,000,000 and his revenue about
$30,000,O00, and thus the net debt
per individual has gone merrily on
until every man, woman and child
in the Dominion stands to-day
accountable to the country's credi
tors tor over $50. 1t may be
agreeable for Canada to own rail
road, even if she has no use for it,
but to obtain it by running up the
per capita debt from $34 to more
than $50, while the country dis
tricts and the small towns are
being slowly depopulated, does not
look like good craftsmanship.

so WING WHEAT.

The question is quite frequently
asked in this valley with regard TO
sowing wheat. (which is the
the most profitable, drilling or
sowing broadcast" Anyone who
has tried the two ways will never
ask the question the second time,
as they will find at least one third
more wheat from the amount
sown with a drill than they receive
from the same amount with a seed
er. Sowing with a drill from
three pecks to one busher an acre
is necessary to get good stand,
while it takes from one bushel to
five pecks an acre in order to get
a broadcast stand. Thus will be
seen that it takes from one fourth
to one-third more grain to use the
seeder than the drill. But even
with this extra amount Of grain
the yield will not be as much by
several bushels per acre as when
drilled. The best argument used
in favor Of the seeder is that it
cultivates the the ground much
better than the drill. This is ac-
knowledged but Of what use is the
cultivation if you do not get the
production. The same applies to
the East as does in this place. AT
a recent experiment of several
plats in Indiana the drilled wheat
averaged % bushels, and each plat
Of broadcast went about II bush
els per acre, making II bushels in
favor Of the drilled grain. 1t will
thus be seen that from one-third
Jess seed the drilled ground raised
over one half more grain. Try it
once and see for yourself.-Gold

Gov. PENNoYER is strong on
economy. The money of the tax
payers must not be wasted on
wagon roads, he says-the state
cannot afford it. To appropriate
the vast sum of $97 900 to improve
the wagon roads in the mountain
regions of the state would be 'sloot-
ing" the treasury, says the Gov
ernor; but when it comes to spend
ing more than $4,000 upon the
completion of the capitol building
"a large portion of it to go into a
dome for purely architectural
efect-ihen the cords of economy
slacken their hold upon him. and
he signs the bill. ECONOMY" has
long been a sadly abused pack
horse in the service of demagogues.
but it is seldom worried by such a
capricious driver as our peculiar
governor.-Ashland Tidings.

Hon. JERRY SIMPSON sprung a
ary-headed chestnut on the
Washington newspaper men when
he asserted that the republican
party was dead. We have heard
that story at irregular intervals for
many years, but the republican
party goes right along advocating
all that is best and most patriotic
for the country. Many people are
sometimes led astray by glittering
generalities, as some republicans
were last year, but they always
return to the republican fold just
as thousands will do next year
When the republican party dies its
death will be followed by the fune-
raj of republican institutions and
the people are not yet ready to
welcome a dictator.

SMALL GENERA PURPOSE FARMS.


The following, from the Rural
Press, applies equally as well to
Oregon as to California:
We hear so much said, and gen
orally truly said, of what is done
on small acres of fruit in this state
that it is very desirable to have it
known that small farming is profit
able in this state on lines in which
fruit trees and vines do not enter.
We say desirable because not all
localities are we'll adapted to fruit
nor do all tastes run to pruning or
bug killing. There are people who
enjoy the perfumed breath of the
COW and the melody Of the poultry
yard. Their lives, perchance, have
been spent in learning how to sue
ceed with these valuable factors in
agricultural production. They dO
not care always to come to Califor-
MIA to take up lines of work of
which they know nothing, although
it must be acknowledged that some
of our best. fruit growers were but
recently COW farmers and hen
farmers. and once little thought
that they would take up other
lines. Still, let it be known that
it is possible to attain comfort and
perhaps competency in other un-
dertakings than fruit growing if
one knows how to go about it
properly.

IT'S A Law NOW.
The County Liquor License Increase
Shaped Into an Ordinance.
County Jail Supplies-Proposed Re-
pairs to the County Hospital
Tho New Cemetery.

The Board of Supervisors resumed it's
session yesterday forenoon.
District Attorney Ryan appeared before
the board, and submitted an ordinance
which he had drawn up in accordance
with the resolution adopted by the Super
visors on Wednesday, fixing the rate for
county retail liquor licenses at SO per
month, or $50 a quarter; and fixing regu-
lations under which licenses may be OBJ
tanned to conduct saloons. The resolu-
ton was published in full in the RECORD
UNION at the time.
The Supervisors examined the ordi-
nance closely, and discussed its merits at
considerable length. Finally, being salts
fed that the ordinance would ''hold
water''-to use a popular expression
they adopted It. The ordinance was
then ordered published for ten days in all
the newspapers of the county. 1t will
be found in another column Of this Jour
nal.
COUNTY JAIL SUPPLIES
The Allender road dispute at Isleton
was referred to the District Attorney, and
that official was instructed to report to the
board at the next session.
y committee of the Citizens Associa-
ton had a quiet talk with the Supervisors
this morning, urging that the county
could probably save money by taking the
purchasing of supplies and feeding of
prisoners out of the hands of the Sheriff
and leaving it with the board.
Bids for supplies of stationery were
closed at noon. The only bidders were
II. $. Crocker q Co. and Weinstock,
Lubin d Co. Of the articles enumerated.
it was found that Crocker 81 Co. had un-
ri III ri oil,
the articles enumerated, and they were
awarded the contract.
THE COUNTY CEMETERY.
Supervisor Greer's resolution, calling
for the laying out of a burying-ground
for the lnterment Of persons who die at
/ the County Hospital and those who have
| to be buried at the county's expenses was
taken up, and after a short discussion
was adopted. On motion of Mr.. Bates.
Mr.. Jenkins of the Hospital Committee.
and Superintendent White of the Hospi-
tai were authorized to proceed at once to
lay out the proposed cemetery in the
vicinity of the hospital. This change will
effect saving of about $1,000 a year to
the county.
HOSPITAL REPAIRS.
Mr.. Jenkins and Superintendent
White also reported to the board on the
sanitary condition of the hospital They
Sald thaC the hospital was IN a very bad
way on account of the defective plumb
ing system and they recommended that
! the system be entirely abolished and a
new one substituted.
AS neither of the gentlemen could give
the board any information as to what the
Improvement would cost they were
given until to-day to make further
report.
The semi-annual county financial state
ment was ordered published once in the
Bee and Gait Gazette.
After auditing a number of bills against
the county the board adjourned.
