with s'f!tby water" The factory
where this butter had been made
had been run as cheese fac
tory for about twenty years, and
latterly a separator had been put in
and cheese and butter both manufac-
tured. A driven well supplied the
water of the factory. This we'll was
about twenty feet deep, and with an
eye to avoid the drainage of the build
ing was driven on the upper side. How
futile that scheme was the accompany
ing illustration will show. The barn
yard on the elevation few rods dis
tant to the right did not have a tenden-
cy to help the matter any.
1t is to be regretted that the water
was never chemically analysed, but as
butter making was stopped immediate
~ when the product became unstable
and the water was no more used the
state expert who afterward visited the
factory did not see fit to take sample
for analysis. the poisoned condition
of the well was generally conceded and
a superficial examination of the water
after it had stood for length of time
would convince any one of its contami-
nation. The water when freshly
pumped was cold and sparkling. al
though slightly tinged in color. It
gave off no offensive smell and the
faint foreign odor would be easily mis-
taken for the presence of mineral sub
stance. 1t was in this stage that it was
used for washing the buttermilk from
granulated butter, and the insidious
bacteria are sown that afterwards
ruined the product. Now, we do not
relate this true instance because we
suppose that all creameries obtain their
water supply of wells, and that the
water used is charged with deleterious
substances, but to show what an insid-
ious evil impure water is, and what
damage it is capable of doing to the
art of good butter:making. The best
water for use in creamery is that OBJ
tanned from a spring source, and to
convey it to the building an iron pipe
is preferable to one of lead, or wood
en- pump log. If water is prone to be
roily or is filed with sediment, you can
readily cleanse it by putting up a small
filter in the factory, but ordinary fl
tering will not eradicate the poison
from constitutionally filthy water. If
your water facilities are poor, as they
are apt to be in many sections of the
country, and the water comes to the
factory warm, you should use ice to
lower its temperature before employ
ing it to wash butter. We consider it
one of the most mistaken ideas of econ
omy in the world to have well under
a cheese factory or a creamery. Even
if the well is SO deep as to preclude the
idea of subsoil teaching, putrid drain
age may find its way through the sur
face soil to the well pipe and follow the
tube to the bottom. Or, it may reach
the water vein which supplies the well
in comparatively shallow location,
and thus directly transmit the poison

"My Darling"
These endearing words, in bright
golden letters, stood out in bold relief
on the dashboard of huge four-horse
truck in Broadway blockade of We.
hicles. They aroused tender memories.
The driver looked as unsentimental as
possible in his coarse raiment and with
his rough manners, but he was not
profane or brutal toward his horses.
Patiently he awaited the loosening of
the jam, while his neighbors filled the
air with curses. Finally, his horses be-
coming restivc, he climbed down from
his box and soothed them with gentle
words and caresses Then "a bystandcr
asked why he called his truck "My
Darling"
"Why," he said, "because it keeps
green the memory of my daughter, lit.
tie Nellie. She's dead now, but before
she joined the angels she clasped her
hands around my neck and said:
Papa, I'm going to die, and l want
you to promise me one thing, because
it will make me SO happy. Will you
promise?'
YES" l said. I'll promise anything;
what is it?'
"Then fixing her eyes upon mine she
said: oh, papa, don't be angry, but
promise me you'll never swear any
more nor whip your horses hard, and
be kind to mamma
"That's all there is about it, mister,

He said that when a young man he

They would select a very crooked

DED RICE's, LOS ANGELES. SUNDAY.
III April 19.-Life is pleasanter for those who
have not the disposition to build themselves
up by pulling others down. Envy, malice and
hate must not enter into a sunny life to create
bitterness and sorrow. Let others strive in
that direction but Red Rices place was estab-
lished to sell goods, with firm confidence in
that old maxim thai it is mighty go policy
to be honest, and that he who attends strictly
to his own business energetically will find
plenty of remunerative occupation. REC Rice
started in Los Angeles. Our success has been
beyond our most sanguine expectations From
small place it has grown to a very large one.
From few struggling customers and no
friends at the beginning we now number our
customers and friends by the tens of thousands
Once customer at Red Rices then you
are friend, once friend, always a friend at
Red Rice's, but we have not yet enough friends
we want more, and shall so continue to conduct
this business as to win new friends and Gus
toners, as well as to retain the old ones, treat
ing all alike fairly, preferring to sell great
quantity of goods at small margin of profit,
rather than small qnaUtity at large profit.
There are some special good bargains for you
this week at Red Rices. Good things that were
bought for you at less than they are worth from
people who were going away or who wished to
make changes and get quick cash. Much of the
goods now on sale at Red Rice's are new and
sold for less than factory cost. Much of it is
rich and costly, much of it is very modern and
yet again there is much that is very plain and
inexpensive. And yet oil is sold far below
what it cost to make. Thanks 10 you
and our other friends, Red Rice's trade has
become so great that there is now practically
no limit to the size of our purchases Show us
bargains and the money Will be forthcoming.
This has become SO well known that it gives us
chances that are not offered to others. That
the goods are here Think of it, good mating

THERE is something very distressing
in the vail which comes from all the
regions in the United States in which
labor is heavily employed. These points
are where protection is supposed to shed
its chief benefits. The capitalist classes
are found, in sections where their sway
is omnipotent, to be quite ready to sub
rogate for the American notion that of
the car of all the Russias. With pro-
lection as their panacea for all the ills
OF labor, they are found quite willing to
employ Pinkerton detectives to shoot
down discontented workingmen. There
is something appallingly un-democratic,
un-republican, in such programme.
Rapidly as the duties rise on European
products which come into competition
with fabrics and staples in the United
States, quite as rapidly do the wages of
the employed fall in the regions conse-
Grated to the blessings of the high tariff.
Even the imported slaves, who were
brought here to reduce the wages
of labor, kick at the onerous
and exhausting schedules propos-
ed by the iron and coal barons.
There are few Americans who do not
believe in restricting the immigration of
the ignorant Hungarian and Italian la
borers who have, in the past decade, re-
duced the wages of American working
men fully forty per cent. But there are
hundreds OF thousands of Americans
who believe that the hypocritical pre-
tense of Republican politicians should
be rebuked. And it will be rebuked.
When the American people fully realize
the fact that $60,000,0 900 of the revenue
of the United States has been sacrificed
on sugar to allow it to go into favored
rings and trusts, the national indigna-
tion will be vehement and even electri-
cal. If this infamous system of robbing
the many for the benefit of the few shall
continue, hanging bees will become very
plentiful in this section. The people
ought either to get justice or vengeance.
Claus Spreckels is a good looking and
energetic Scandinavian, but there is
no reason why he should be permitted,
through his sugar combinations, to play
the Old Man of the Mountain on the
people OF California by grace of the Re-
publican party.

Mohammed's Descendants.

To find families of an antiquity at
once remote and certain we must go be-
yond Europe and seek them nearer the
cradle of the human race. Mohammed
died in 632, leaving nine wives and only
one child, his daughter Fatima, who was
married Gas several other ladies were) to
Ali, the prophets first convert and chief
lieutenant. From Fatima have descend
ed the numberless sultans, mobiles, cher
ifs, kings and emperors who, ever since
the prophets day, have constituted SO
important part of the ruling class in
the world which he organized. Today,
after the lapse of thirteen centuries, it is
the blood of the prophet that constitutes
the title to nobility in the several coun-
tries of the east.-Chicago Times.

BISMARCK dies hard, or, rather, he
does not intend to die at all politically.
He has determined to try the chances
of a second ballot in the Geestemunde
district and to run in another district in
which he is absolutely sure Of an cleo
tion. The young Emperor Wilhelm's
satisfaction at the defeat of the prince
of blood and iron is somewhat dimin-
ished by the large Socialist gains at the
recent elections. The spectacle OF the
old chancellor's struggle to re-enter
public life is sensational. Ii he sue
ceeds in getting into the reichstag the
trouble will then fairly begin. 1t must
be gall and wormwood to the creator of
the North German empire to be obliged
to move heaven and earth to obtain a
hearing from his country. The old
adage ran that republics are ungrateful.
Bismarck's sad experiences in his en-
deavor to re-enter public life would indi-
cate that empires are even more so.

ance instruction department was added
and, in consequence, in thirty-six states,
all the territories, and in the military,
naval and Indian schools temperance
lessons are required by law. Now the
fight is extended against tobacco and
profanity. Then the fight for women's s
suffrage followed. The sympathy of the
