Meat scraps Of all kinds make a good

1t is worth observation
The common nettle weed is frst-rate
food for laying hens. They like it,
either chopped fine, green, or cut up
with the cooked soft food.
1t is a good time now tn mate your
fowls and arrange your bree ling pens

know all about this, an the suggestion
is intended for new beginners.
Cover the top Of the dropping boards
in your poultry houses with road dust or
dry earth. 1t is a good deoierizer, be-
sides it renders the work of cleaning off
the dropping board much easier.
Sawdust is good thing to put in

THE COOLING MOTH.

The codling moth, which produces the
wormy apples and pears, is serious pest
TO the fruit grower. There are two
broods in "a season. The first causes ap.
pies to drop very early; the second in-
lures the winter crop. DR.. Jabez Fisher,
of Fitchburg, Mass, advised, at meet
ing of the Massachusetts, State Board of
Agriculture, spraying with Paris green
as the chief remedy, but said that many
of the pupe may be trapped in bands of
cloth or hay rope around the trunks OF
the trees, in which they can be killed.
Hogs, sheep and poultry kept in the Or

That, at least, is the universal feeling in
the university eenters in the Old World.
And 1t is also the feeling in the British
colonies where universities are to be found.
In Newman College in England, which
is reserved for lady students, they all wear
the cap and gown. the same as the males at
Oxford, Cambridge and otner universities.
The custom at the State University is
simply 10 wear distinctive headdress.
The sophomores wear the mortar board,
the juniors white plug and the seniors a
black plug.
And the uglier and more battered-loOking

be more h0uored in the breach than in the

The girl sophomores wear the mortar

This wear, as THE CALL made mention

custom Of wearing mOrtaT-board with

several more have again donned 1t.

After conveTsng with several of the
students in the various classes 1t was evil

Some favored the general adoption of the
mortar board and gown fora classes eX-
cept the freshmen.
Others were opposed to the gown, but
would favor the mortar-board with differ

Others again, while expressing their dis
satisfaction with the existing custom, were
not clear as to what they would like 10 see

And, of course. there were many who

Why John T. Monk Is Suing for a Divorce.

John T. Monk, a resident Of Center

Several years ago he was the proud pos
SCISSOR of considerable property and hand
some wife.
Now all have disappeared.
How he came to lose them furnishes an
interesting chapter on the uncertainty of all
things human.
Monk was about A. years of age five years
ago and his handsome wife was nearly a
decade his junior.
The pair had never any troubles and were
as happy as happy could be.
They lived on a ranch near Boulder Creek
which was Monks own estate, and it was
valued at $4,000 and was clear of all in
cumbrances. There was not sign OF

miles of the place.
During this happy period Of his life Monk
was completely under the dominion OF his
young and affectiOnate wife.

were as thick as bees, were lying in walt

This was so nice OF him.
a few months Rfterward Monk had oc-
easi0n to 20 north to LOOK after some invest

Their parting was too sad to depict.
Mrs. Monk chung to her spouse in the
anguish Of despair. But he had to 60. and
he succeeded in doing so.
Before he left however, Mrs Monk en-
ploYed young man who had been recon-
mended' TO her TO act as foreman on the
ranch. Monk was pleased. because the
young man would be a protector to his
wife.
But oh, what difference there was when
Monk returned from his three months tripi
His loving wife did not rush up with out
stretched arms to greet him. Not much.
But the recommended" foreman was there.
He staggered up to Monk and demanded:
What do you want about here?"

Now, get up and get" commanded the
foreman, whom Monk saw at once had been
too highly recommended and was master Of

things.
Mrs. Monk ventured out, and calling up
the other hands engaged GU the place had
her discarded husband carried out to the

OF course Monk departed. He came to
this city and spent his time for awhile
thinking.
He stopped doing that. however, and a
few days ago he retained Attorney w. Mat

4 CIJSTOM-HOUSE SCANDAL.
Trouble Over Moy jim Nuns
Blood Money.
Special Agent Evers Goes to Washington TO
straighten 1t 0ut-0ne Head Lest
and More to Follow.

The fact that Customs Inspector j. j.
Tobin Jr. resigned from the service a few
days ago first came into publicity yesterday.
The fact that he was the recipient of some
of the money claimed by Moy jim Nun
from the Marks opium smuggling case has
led to considerable conjecture as to the rea-
sons for his resignation.
Collector Phelps has admitted that To-
bins resignation Is in some way connected
with the Moy jim Nun muddle.
The Collector has also admitted-what
was pretty generally spected-that Special
Agent Evans will visit Washington with a
view to strengthening out this muddie before
he returns from his Eastern tour.
The sum OF 5000 was due to the iniormer
who discovered the Marks Illicit opium.
That informer was Moy jim Nun.
Collector Phelps Endorsed Moy jim Nuns
claim. but in order to hide the identity OF
the real informer c. II. Bailey and ]. j.
OCounor received the money in trust for
the Chinese.
Prior to receiving the money from Wash
ington, of which they were to keep $500 for
their services, Bailey and OCOnnoT signed
this agreement:
In the matter of the Marks seizure case, we
do hereby agree to give the sum OF $4,000 10
Varney w. Gasklli to BE- paid 10 other intormers
In the case as soon as the check arrives from The
Treasury Department
1t now transpires that according to q PR
vate agreement the $4,000 was TO be dis
tributed as follows: United States Marshal
Long for Moy jim Nun, $500; Deputy
Surveyor VarneY Gaskill, $780, Customs
Inspector j. j. Tobin Jr., $500; Special
Agent of the Treasury j. ]. Evans, $500.
October %, 1891, Varney Gaskill is said TO
have affixed his signature TO the following:
hereby agree TO pay to Moy jim Nun s2500,
less legal expenses, TO be agreed upon by Collec-
tor (Phelps) and Special Agent Evans when the
same shall have been paid 10 me by Bailey and
0'COnnOr The said $500 is one-half OK in
formers fees allowed by the court IN the OF
NJ arks opium case. have a guarantee In writ
Ing from Bailey aud O'ConnOr that they VIII pay
the same 10 me.
The money came from Washington in
two equal checks made payable 20 O'Con-
nor and Bailey respectively.
They paid Tobin his $780, and Gaskill
received his, it is admitted. but so far Moy
jim Nun has been lett out in the cold, cold
world completely
Now Moy insists upon having his money.
Tie Collector wants to know why Gas
kill and Tobn and Evans should have come
in for share.
Aud there a scandal generally.
Some official heads are likely TO fall before
1t is over.

afford to bear the outlay for the gown
"Of course, they are in the minority, but
they might sway the indifferent ones"
A junior said he believed in ali the classes
wearing the mortar-board and gown or none
at all
"Irs English. you know" he said, "but
all the same would like to see it the custom
here"
Another junior, who wore white plug
that looked as If the owner used it OCCASION

So much for the male students.
The girl students are ready 10 adopt the
gown at any moment.
The only thing wanted is for one to SET
the example and the others would quickly
follow.
Several Of them were spoken to and they
were all practically Of the same mind.
A juniOr-a most Intelligent and cultured
young lRdy-said:
Il will most willingly wear the gown, but
would not care to be the first to set the ex-
ample
''The juniors have this year been wearing
the mortar board with the heliotrope tassel
and they wont give it up.
quite number now. We are going to con-
tinue wearing it and the sophomores will
have to become reconciled to il.
"Of course it is better than nothing, but
it would certainly be much better If we had
the gown with it.
''Some girls may see nothing in it but to
laugh at. l think II would be a pity If they
did.
"A girl is just as much entitled to wear
cap and gown as a young man. | really
think the young men should keep up the
Old World custom, and the girls would feel
proud of them for it.
I'VE have not, as a whole, discussed the
wearing of the gown yet, but some Of us
have been talking about il TO each other, and
| hope soon TO see 1t introduced"
Mr. Edwards, member OF the faculty,
said he would certainly like to see some neat
| distinctive GARD worn by the Students, as he
was strongly opposed to the disreputable-
| looking plug hats.
Acting President Kellogg. in answer to a
| question, said: "Yes, there has been some
| sporadic talk about II, but as far as / know
| nothing definite has been done.
ut was intended that the graduating class
| should wear mortar-bOards and gowns at

"Of course the faculty has nothing to do

There is certainly more talk about the
