A noyeRplan for extinguishing church
debt has been hit upon in Melbourne,
Australia The church authorities divide
The total debt among themselves, and
each man insures himself for the amount
which falls TO his share. The policies
are transferred TO the church, and the
annual premiums on them are paid out
Of the church collections. Then as the
members die the sums for which their
lives are insured come in. When the
only survivor dies, the last installment OF
the church debt is paid. This method is
slow, bnt sure.

OFFICIAL PAPER or THE COUNTY
The Arizona choHa.

Joaquin Miller thus describes the spe-
cies OF cactus known as cholla, which ia
found on the deserts of Arizona and CAL
ifornia:
The great green cactus tree springs
into the arr twenty, fifty, sixty feet, a
lone and leafiess column. In a land
where shade IL the one thing TO be de-
sired, here is this one tree in ali the
level plain of sand, without one single
sign Of leaf or branch on it. 1t starts up
sudden and solitary out OF the burning
PLAN, upon the steep and stony hill, any
where, everywhere grim and doughty
knight, incased in an armor, made OF a
million deadly Iances. This green and
phenomenal and grand, grand Corinthan
column stands out like an obelisk in
the desert OF Sahara, leafiess, lorn. DESC
late No sign OF life about il, nothing
save that away up on it's inaccessible
summit, and right on top is heaped, in
its season, a bushel of red, rich and sue
culent fruit. What a contradiction is
this shadowless, lorn and leafless tree in
q land where shade is SO much needed |
II looms there in sublime and sphinx
like majesty, declaring in eternal testi-
mony to the fertility of the sand-sown
land below. And this is its missicn
maybe, and unobtrusive use--to tell of
the riches, the undiscoved treasurers that
lie hidden deep down in the rich soil.

MILLER is SHY.
He VIII Not Talk on Behring Sea
Matters.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-It is under
stood that the cabinet considered the
Behring sea controversy and the Indian
question at the regular meeting to-day,
but it is impossible to obtain any official
information on the subject. 1t is said,
however, that the Behring sea matter
was not formally brought before the
cabinet, ,as it has generally been the Gus
tom to confne formal discussion OF queS-
tions affecting the foreign policy OF the
government to the heads of departments
directly interested. This view is also
supported by the fact that Secretary
Blaine was late in his attendance at the
meeting. having been detained at the
state department by various matters.
Attorney General Miller does not ap-
pear to be very much disturbed over the
turn affairs have taken. When asked
about it this morning he laughingly re-
marked:
have long ago learned that it is not good
plan to practice law in the newspapers. Not
that the newspapers are not thoroughly com.
petent to settle such questions in the right
way, Tor they probably could in their eternal
wisdom adjust things very wisely. But they
don't constitute final courts of appeal. l
shall have enough to say about this matter in
a fortnight, when shall make an argument
before the supreme court i'll the case.
1t is learned through perfectly COM
petent official legal authority that this
apparent complacency-which is by no
means confined to the department of
justice-is due to the fact that the case
is not actually before the supreme court
for final settlement.
