Two Quick for Him.

The only man who yer was too quick
for Joe Dye, the bad man of Ventura,
was Petroleum Scott, the old Ventura
oil man, a tall, wiry, nervous chap, who
would be the terror Of stenographers if
he were a public speaker. Phillips
Brooks is a leisurely drawler compared
to Scott. Scott and Dye had a legal con-
test over an Oil claim on the Sespe, and,
while the case was pending, Scott pru-
IDENTIFY avoided discussing it with Joe,
whose temper and trigger finger were
VIGOROUSLY quick and apt to act in con-
cert.
One day Scott and Dye met in Santa
Paula and, sitting down at a table to-
gether, chatted about things in general.
Scott carefully abstained from talking
about oil claims, but Joe finally preached
the subject and made some statement
about the records that was not correct.
This is the way Scott tells the story:
"Without thinking, | said, Joe. you're a
liar and as soon as the words were out
of my mouth he yanked his revolver and
stuck it under my nose. But | was too
quick for him. | took it all back before
be could sh0ot."-San Francisco Argo-

PiDer Legends.

The Wends, who, we believe, are the
ancestors Of the modern Prussians, are
the center of many legends. The Pied
Piper of Hamelin vels a Wend; SO also
was the piper of the Hartz mountains,
who appeared so many days a year, and
played unearthly tunes, and whosoever
heard at once fell into a frenzy, from
which there was no escaping. All these
pied and weird pipers assembled once a
year at. the Broken, where there was a
general carnival, the Arch Fiend lead
ing the concert on a violin, witches roll
ing around and fddling on the skulls Of
horses, ard the pipers adding the con-
cert Of their unholy instruments.-Cham-

MARITIME MATTERS.

When Balmaceda's new war ships, the

riz. reach the coast of Chill there may
ensue the greatest naval battles between
the modern ironclads the world has yet
seen. The Esmeralda, which was crit
callv compared a few weeks ago with
our own cruiser, the Charleston, is still
in the service of the Congressional party,
as well as one or two other protected
ships carrying heavy guns. The Balma-
ceda cruisers are expected to reach Chill
in about two months, and if either one
should run up against the Esmeralda the
students of naval affairs would have
something to talk about for long time
to come.
Speaking of nav.es, the New Orleans
Times-Democrat says the French have
the only navy in the world that has as
yet departed from white and black in
painting their ships. The vessels Of the
French fleet now cruising about the Eu-
ropean ports are all painted dull, sui
phurous gray. exactly the color of can
non smoke as it issues from the gun.
The contention Of the French is that this
color has the advantage of being as illu-
sive and indistinguishable in fogs, sea
mists and darkness as during the smoke
of battle. 1t is more battling to the
search ligbtthan any other tint.

INGALLS, AND PROHIBITION.

In the eyes of some people an apparent
inconsistency is next to an unpardon
able sin. For instance, the esteemed
Emporia Republican, which is always
on the alert to "catch" ex-senator In
gals, takes two little excerpts from Mr..
Ingalls, declarations concerning the pro-
hibition question in Kansas, to-wit:
Senator ingalls,, August, 1889: kansas
has abolished the saloon. The open dram
shop traffic is as extinct as the sale of in
dulgencies A drunkard is phenomenon.
The barkeeper has joined the troubndour,
the crusader and the moupdbuilder"
Ex-senator ingalls,, August, 1891: In
Kansas though prohibition has been the
order for ten years, there is not a town
where man cannot get all he wants to
drink. There is not a public institution
that does not draw for its support from
the taxes on the saloons"
These are quoted by the Republican to
exposeC0 the eX-senator's lack Of con-
sistency, change of mind, or something;
but to our mind there is not the slightest
discrepancy in the statement of facts,
for both statements are true, per Sc, or
taken together, and neither his critiques
nor the champions Of the played-out fad
can prove to the contrary.

THE ECONOMY OF PAIN.

| Pertinent Thoughts on the Duty to One,
Self and That Due to Others.
| Mr.. Howells says I'VE are ali blinded
we are all weakened by false ideal OF sell
sacrifice" Even a cursory glance at our
selves and those about Us confirms the
truth of this statement. In some way we
have so misinterpreted the Bible as to be
lieve that pure religion and undefled con
| sists in ignoring common sense. We dc
not dare trust our own Judgment in the
! crisis OF sorrow and disaster, and imagine
that the most painful course, by reason OF
Its very pain. is the onews ought to fol
low.
Many of our funeral customs, through a
false idea OF what is due the dead, become
barbarous infections upon the living. We
are wanting in feeling for those whom God
has taken, we believe, If we do not torture
ourselves by every sight aud sound calcn-
lated to increase our suffering II is q
remnant, perhaps, of the savage idea that
grave must be heaped with sacrifices.
There is such thing as luxury of woe
amounting to dissipation. 1t is quite as
selfish as any avoidance OF pain and more
Injurious to others Children are dressed
In mourning garments, the significance of
which they cannot understand, aud are de-
pressed by darkened windows and hyster-
ical outbursts of grief. Sometimes they
grow TO hate the very name of the dead,
whom in their ignorance they hold account
able for the dreariness of their lives.
Often entire families have been sacrificed
through a mistaken conception of the
rights of one member Blood is thicker
than water, the adage runs, and hence to
the black sheep are offered up all the fat
ings of the flock. Sentiment says we
have no right to deny the shelter Of the
home to the prodigal, no matter how vile
and impentent he may be. We forget to
ask where the gain lies in allowing the 500
who has wasted his substance in riotous
living to squander the inheritance of his
brother.
The young girl insists upon giving up
the man she loves aud who loves her in or
der that he may marry some one be does
not care for. Three lives are thus ruined
instead of possible one.
The affairs of philanthropy are wet with
the blood of women who have both graft
fed and sacrificed themselves in excessive
zeal in behalf Of orphanages and reforrna
tories. Their own children are left moth
erless just at the time " hen they need care
full training most.
In cases of illness there appears to he an
idea that it is quite praiseworthy for those
caring for the invalid 10 wautouly oyertax
their strength, and SO expose themselves,
that the logical consequence Is an increase
OF suffering ali around.
The question where does our duty to our
self end aud that to others begin Is so
subtle that il divides the Joint and mar
row. To quote Mr.. Howells again: "It is

gests itself. and which would insist upou

HOW TO FATTHN HOGS.

Tie following is a summary of expert

1893, 1889 and 1890:
In eight trials in which corn only was
fed, aside from salt and coal slack, vary

pounds and kept in pens or small lots
without grass gained at the rate of from
1916 to 1473 pounds per bushel, Sc
pounds shelled corn, the average gain
being p 96 pounds. The rate of gain
for food eaten and the food eaten in
proportion to weight decreased after
four 10 SIX weeks feeding with corn
only. The corn eaten per day varied
from 3.4l pounds eaten by pigs averag-
ing 65js pounds to 1911 pounds eaten
b. pigs weighing 81 pounds. The corn
eaten per day per 100 pounds live weight
varied from ! 95 pounds eaten by pigs fed

In four trials, pigs Fed all they would
eat of shelled corn with blue grass
pasture at 4.216.5 pounds Of corn and
gained COS pounds. which was at the
rate Of u o. pounds gain per bushels Of
corn. Pigs under like conditions, ex-
cept that they were fed bat half as much
corn. ate 2.le0 pounds Of corn and
gained sos pounds. which was at the
rate Of 70 90 pounds per bushel. Pigs in
dry lots fed shelled corn ate 4, 207 pounds
of corn and gained 1908 pounds, which

THROUGH GLASS, DARKLY.


| To the Editor of the Eagle.
Your editorial. "A Bitter Sweet, " in Sun
day mornings EAGLE, like many other
articles that have been written to show
the dire effects of the Mckinley bill sounds
very plausible, and would doubtless be ac-
cepted as facts by the average reader,
| though one has only to be posted little on
the subject to know that the Mckinley
| bill has no more to do with the present adj
vance on tin and glass fruit jars than had
Mr.. PETER or the Alliance to do with the
enormous crop of wheat just harvested in
Kansas. Glass fruit jars were quoted in
| the market early in the season
at lower prices than before the
| Mckinley bill was heard Of The
| law of supply and demand and not the
| Mckinley law has advanced the price Of
| fruit jars.
! The quantity of glass fruit jars produc-
| ed up to the time the glass factories shut
| down-which they do every summer for n
period of eight weeks-is estimated at
! from p TO 30 per cent. less than usual,
which fact, in connection with the very
! large crop of all kipds of fruit, explains
the increase in the price of fruit jars. The
! jObbers who bought early, and not the
manufacturer have received the benefit of
the advance which, to the consumer is
nearer ID than it is from % TO 80 per cent.
3. w. JACOBS.
Our critic, in the foregoing, amplifies
the argument in favor Of the EAGLES
proposition, which he criticiseS and
would refute. Why did the glass jar
manufacturers shut down when they
knew, as they must, that their output
was % to 90 per cent less than usual, and
when they also knew that the demand
would necessarily be greater during the
season. The question of supply and de-
mand does, indeed, have very much to
do with prices, and nobody knows it
better than the manufacturer. And
knowing, also, that the matter of supply
from abroad would unavoidably be cur
tailed by the operation of the increased
tariff rate, they deliberately shut down
when their own product was shorter
than usual by from % to 80
per cent The manufacturers are
not particularly blamable for
their action; they simply took advantage
of circumstances to benefit themselves,
just like everybody else does. The job
Der did the same thing, and is no more
TO blame than the manufacturer who
gave hun the opportunity to bull the
price by vieing with the tariff in bearing
the market.
As for tin, our critic will hardly have
the temerity to deny that the price of
that commodity has been materially adj
vanced by the operation of The new tariff
law. directly and solely. And speaking
of tin and the protection given it, it is to
our mind one of the inexplicable qulrks
of law making that the policy adopted
for the sugar schedule, that of paying
bounty, could not be applied to tin, since
the latter afforded an infinitely greater
and stronger preteXt for doing 80 from
the very nature of the case. ED.

To Restore Tainted nreat..

Housekeepers generally believe that
meats that have become slightly tainted
can be ''freshened up" and made harmless
by boiling in soda aud water. This as
sumption is defective. the bad smell and
taste can often he removed by this means
that is, il the meat is not too old, and u
the boiling i kept up for several hours SO
that the inside Of the meat IS a. thoroughly
treated TO the soda aud high heat as the
outside. then very likely all the putr!d
poisons would be destroyed
But an Ordinary cooking would not rem
der such meat perfectly safe. This is one
of the simplest means OF restoring"

The Wichita EAGLE wants to know
what the Republican means by saying
that prohibition may be stronger in Kan
sas than Republicanism. Just what it
says. The vote last fall was almost
equally divided between the Republican
and Peoples parties, nearly all of both
parties being prohibitionists. The anti
prohibition strength was practically all
thrown to Robinson. Prohibition is
stronger in Kansas than any party. There
is nothing sensational about this state
ment.-Emporia Republican.
The Republican simply jumps to a
conclusion from the spring-board of
logic, with which anything can be
proven. The Republican has no more
right to claim the Peoples party vote for
prohibition than the -prohibitionists
have. That party simply ignored the
question, though it is a well known fact
that majority of the party favor the
abrogation of the experiment because it
has been proven a failure and is con-
slant menace to the peace and well being
of the community.

In Iowa physicians who are habitual
drunkards are now deprived of their
license to practice, and in Georgia any
inebriate physician has to pay heavy
fine and is debarred from practice. In
most or all the states drinking and
drunkenness by civil officers are inhib-
tied by law, while such practices are
under the universal ban Of the moral
law; yet all Of these restraints are not
enough to effectually curb the human

It is now pretty well known that S35,-
600, 900 of the gold recently exported, or
nearly half the shipments Of the calendar
year, was borrowed by France. This
money, of course will be returned when
the time for which it was obtained ex-
pires. The Globe-Democrats thinks the
chances are that nearly if not quite all
of the gold which we have lost viii be
regained before twelve months hence. If
the reports of crop failures and starva-
ton that come from many parts of the
eastern hemisphere be true there would
seem to be no alternative but that a
great stream of gold will soon come
