following address to the order in Mlchi-

have investigated the matter and am of
the opinion that the amendment should
be adopted; and although 1t increases
the salary OF the office, without dou lot,
the result ~Ill be to save good many
thousand dollars yearly to the tax
PAYERS.
BY reason of the law OF 1887, requir-
ing prosecuting attorneys TO follow all
their cases 10 the Supreme Court, and
the expense OF hiring attorneys to do
the work OF the Attorney-tieneral
under the present system, st rates
from $50 TO 800 per day, over S25, 900
was paid out last year TO run that de-
partment. The Senate Committee S
report shows SlS,4sO over and above
the amount paid prosecuting attorneys.
The amount paid prosecuting attorneys
out of the state Treasury was about
5000. The salary and clerk hire of
tue AttOrney-Generai Is $500. These
items alone make $233S0, and they in
clude the attorney fees paid IN only
one State institution. If all the State
institutions were included, the amount
would be largely increased.
The present salary OF $500 - lower
than most counties pay Tor prosecuting
attorney. A man. If he looks after the
state business. must neglect his own.
4 prosecuting attorney can he at home
IN hs own O.hce, and keep his business

In the past men have not, and We
could not expect them, to spend their
whole time for $500 per year. II Is pro-
posed TO change the policy and have
the attorney general devote his whole
time 60 toe Office and hire less, and the
best Judges believe that this VIII save
at least $40, 900 per year TO the tax
PAYERS.
The Patron of Ind ustry Senators. and
all who have investigated the matter,
are in favor of the adoption OF the
amendment as move IN the interest
of economy, and unhes tat n Ily
recommend that every taxpayer vote IN
favor of the Amendment.

4 Large Pearl Fishery.

One of the largest pearl fishing
grounds in the world is the Gulf of
California The pearls. says a cor
respondent ARE not generally regu-
lar in shape or very pure in color, but
some are of large size, and many of
the rare black pearls are found. The
divers are nearly all Indians and their
equipment is of the simplest kind. con-
sisting only of basket hung around
the neck, in which to collect the oys-
tiers, knife to detach them from the
rocks and a stone with a cord at
tached. When the diver goes down
he takes the cord between his toes, the
weight of the stone carrying him at
once to the bottom. He gathers oys-
tiers as long as his breath holds out
and then rises to the surface, to de-
scend again in fifteen minutes. Some
Of the divers are wonderfully expert
and can remain under water for as
much as two minutes before rising to
the surface. The mortality among
them is fearful, for the Gulf of Cali
fornia is infested with huge man-eat-
ing sharks, which carry off scores of
men every year."

& Queer African Dish.

Saleh, SANKEY'S attendant said it
was curious to watch Stapley's white
officers when introduced to cbjQuGngd,
kind of pudding made of boiled
manioc root. Neither the taste nor
odor of this food is at all inviting at
first; but necessity brings all whites as
well as blacks to regard it as the bread
of life before many months of resi-
dence in Central Africa.
Sometimes when deprived of it for
many days have often hailed piece
of toasted chiquanga as a real luxury,
and have been rather disguised with
newly arrived whites whose upturned
noses condemned my barbaric taste.
When Stanley's white officers had
finished their small stock OF timed
provisions and rice they were abso-
lutely compelled to fall back on the
maniOc dishes; but the sourness of
taste of this African pudding is a
serious barrier to the enjoy
ment of it, and some stubborn per-
sistence is required before the white
man halls chjqWGng0 as a delicacy;
but like other white travellers. these
officers began to like it, and when they
passed beyond the districts where it
grew, and were forced to adhere to a
roast plantain diet, they regretted Bit
terly that they had no manioc. st

Objections to Cremation.

The archbishop of Paris has issued
instructions to his clergy commanding
them to condemn the practice of Gre
nation, which he regards as the 'tri-
umph of materialism over religious
spiritua1ism. NJ. Earnest Renan
thinks that this pastoral letter is in
conformity with true Christian doc
trine. He points out that the great
dread of the early christians was lest
their bodies should be torn by wild
beasts or burned after their death.
For myself, adds NJ. Renan, 'as
/ do not believe in the resurrection of
the body as the dogma of the church
describes it, it matters very little to
me in what way my body may be dis
posed of when [ am dead. Whether
it be burned or buried. or consumed
by the birds of the air or the beasts of
the field is to me matter Of the most
complete Indifference. My objec-
ton to cremation is that it must be
very painful to the survivors. Burial
is sad enough; but how much sadder
is burning?"

THE CURVE. side Of the hand and
next out of the other side. He will
soon learn the effect these movements
have on the ball. Then he must prac-
tice faithfully to SO control it as to
make the curves useful.
"Srange as it may seem, it is much
more difficult for, the beginner to
throw or pitch a straight ball than one
that describes an arc in its course.
This is so because of the natural ten
dency of the player to throw the oall
out of the side Of his hand.
ITO pitch a straight ball it is neces-
sary that the two fingers which grasp
the ball should be straight up and
down, with their backs in front of the
player as he throws.
Beyond these few hints it is almost
impossible to give any Ineligible in
structions. 1t will depend almost en-
tirely on the young players ability,
inclination and perseverance how
much of a success he will make at
curve pitching. He cannot have too
much practice. But he should take
care not to overexert himself. 1t is
not necessary TO exert all his force.
He can practice curves witho''+ putting
his greatest speed into the UolI."

A Bear in the Cabin.

4 Montana correspondent of the
San Francisco Bulletin records an ad-
venture he had with bear. He was
returning to his cabin after an eX-
cursiOr III the mountains and heard a

side as he approached. I'VE had left
the door open, but concluded to peer
in at the window and see what was
going on inside. In the dusk we dis
covered mass of blackness moving
around in the cabin. At once we
knew monster bear was there. The
Winchester lay inside near the window.
By breaking in the pane we could
reach it. For a moment only we hest
tated and soon the gun was ready, for
firing. The falling of the broken
glass attracted the attention of his
bearship and he whirled about-face.
We fired again and again. The mon
ster beast rolled upon the floor, upset
the table, spilled the ink, scattered
papers. and created a general whirl
around. We lighted a lamp and found
basket of eggs and a side of bacon
had furnished bruin with an evening
meal"

THE ELEPHANT MAPPING.

'How does an elephant slcep?" was
asked Of the special policeman who
guards the animals at the Lincoln

'Bedad, [ don't know" was the
answer. I've been here these four
years and it's never asleep I've seen
that brute. I've seen her eat and
drink and walk and pull at her chain
and stand on her head while she
screamed with rage, I've seen her good
