Private Interview.

One may sometimes be made to see the
uselessness of foolish habit by being
made the victim of similar behavior on
the part of another. Here is an example
of being paid Sin ones own coin:"
A landlord in a country village was
busily employed at his desk when a
farmer came to the door and asked to
see him.
The man was asked his errand, but he
persisted that he must see the hotel
keeper alone. The latter stepped out
side, when the farmer motioned him to
follow and walked around to the rear
of the hotel.
When they were well around the cor
ner the farmer stated that he wished to
buy COW and had heard that the land
lord had one to SELL
"Come on" said the other, and led the
way through garden, patch of pota-
toes, and after climbing fence, through
muddy barnyard and into the hotel
barn.
When they were inside the landlord
put his mouth near the others ear and
whispered:
'Say, neighbor, I've sold my cowr'-
Youths Companion.

Good Corn to Raise,

A Kansas paper says the entire supply
of Jerusalem corn came from two ker-
.nels. These produced the seed from
which five bushels were raised the fol-
lowing season, and the next crop amount
ed to 500 bushels.
The plant grows to the height of about
three feet and resembles broom corn or
sorghum. The grain is white and an
swers every purpose which is served by
Indian corn. 1t makes sweeter and bet
ter bread, and is delicious when boiled
after the manner of oatmeal. In wet
weather it runs to stalks and grows six
feet high, without any grain to speak Of.
1t produces best when the season is
ory, ana arter the plant gets a start it is
said to be absolutely impervious to the
influence of drought and hot winds
The farmers of western Kansas are pre-
pairing to engage in its culture next sea-
son to large extent.

Nickpames at College.

With students the range of sobriquets
is wide and varied, a condition due to the
close relations between the nicknamer
and the nicknamed. Some well defined
rules obtain, however, which show there
is some method in this phase of under
graduate madness. Surnames often
carry the same nicknames, although the
persons may not be related, and may be
separated by five or ten years in the time
of their residence at college. For in
stance, Jones, 10, is dubbed ''Buck,"
and the chances areexcellent that Jones,
'S9, will receive the same nickname.
Why, no one knows, but it is curious
instance of persistent personality. Again,
nicknames received previously at school
or at. home count for naught, for the
collegean is no respecter of traditions
outside of the college world. So "Billy"
becomes SISTER" "Jack" is transformed
into "Reddy," "Joe" is elevated into
Senator" etc.-New York Tribune.

According to the above showing, care
fully drawn from official sources, South
ern California can run as good state
government as Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Mississippi, New Hampshire
and Rhode Island, and then reduce her
tax rate far below what it was in 1889.
The fact is, good state government can
be run on 35 cents, which is 10 cents
better than the lowest party pledge Of
the last campaign.
The beauty OF a separate state govern
ment would be that the million odd dol
lars which yearly goes north to fill the
purses of the San Francisco bay region
would then all be kept at home. South
ern California stands more bleeding for
her size than is just.
The statement that ''it is about all
Southern California can do at present TO
defray the expenses of government"
may be true, for it is over-taxed for the
privilege of being tail to the Northern
California kite. Taxes would be much
cheaper as separate state.
So, then, this noise about s'the great
expense of new state government" is
all cry and no wool, and can never de-
ceive the intelligent.

John wesley's Remarkable Mother.

The mother OF the Wesleys commenced
the work the completion OF which has
given her sons undying fame. She was
a remarkable woman. Her son John
was as much greater than his brother
Charles as he was more like his mother.
A biographer, speaking OF the mother,
says:
A lady OF delicate health and refined
taste, continually shocked by the
rude people among whom she
lived, supported by a stipend so
slender that the family were fire.
quently without proper food, it seems
almost miraculous that she was enabled
to survive the toll and troubles without
loss of spirit and ambition. She had
family school, and taught her children
until they entered college, and it is said
that even then, in spite of depressing
surroundings, she kept herself in ad-
vance of her college-bred sons. She
early became guilty of an irregularity in
that day by holding religious meetings
in her own home. In relation to her
husbands objecting to her reading SER
mons, on the ground of her sex, she
responded: ''As am woman, so also
am the mistress of large family,
and though the superior charge OF
the souls contained in it lies
upon you, as head of the family and as
their mister, yet in your absence can
not but look in upon every soul you
leave under my care as talent commit
ted to me under the trust by the great
Lord of all the families of heaven and
EARTH" The mothers theory OF amuse-
ment was: Whatever weakens your
reason, impairs the tenderness of your
conscience, obscures your sense of God,
or takes off the relish for spiritual
things. that thing is sin to you, however
innocent it may be in ITSELF"
If John Wesley was the founder OF
Methodism, Susannah Annesley Wesley
is entitled to the proud distinction of
the mother OF Methodism-an that in
more senses than one.-[New York

why the price Of Soup Was Raised.

The price has been advanced five cents
plate for soup orders at Youngs hotel
because we would like to freeze out
those who are known as the ''soup
fiends." They order a plate of soup, and,
not content with the allowance of bread
and butter usually accompanying such
an order, ask for more. Sometimes this
order is repeated twice and three times.
so that when we come to reckon up the
profits of the day we find that we are not
infrequently out from ten to fifteen cents
on soup orders. This is the reason we
have raised the price of soup from fifteen
to twenty cents per plate. The same
difficulty has prevailed in other hotels,
and am pleased to learn that the pro-
prietors, like ourselves, have made a
notable advance in the price. It is the
only way to hope for anything like a
profitable business with these people

potatoes for the east. Situated between
Norwalk and Anaheim, the place is well

three new houses having been built

The farmers there have planted 600
acres to potatoes, the product OF which
it is intended to ship east in time to
supply the spring market, and thus reap
large returns. From this patch alone,
it is expected there will be dug over 800
carloads of "spuds,' which in New York
and Chicago, in April and May, will be
worth great amount of money. The
colony will send representative east in
few days, to make arrangements for
disposing Of the crop to the best ad-
