SOME time ago Frenchman who lives
at Pasadena, Cal, was astonished to see
one of his best cows lying, apparently
dying, in front of his barn. The ami
NAL lay there inert, with open eyes, OBJ
livious of everything. The man called
a veterinary surgeon, who could not
diagnose the case, and butcher was
sent for to bleed the animal. He was
some time in arriving, and when he did
come the COW was found eating at a
haystack, but with legs a little un-
certain. An investigation followed,
and it was found that the COW had eaten
copiously of the refuse of neighboring
winery. This stuff, composed of grape
skins and stems, had ferrnented and in
duced state of intoxication.

THERE Is one queer phase of human
nature in this enlightened age which it
is difficult to understand and deplorable
to contemplate. 1t is the slavish re-
gard some people entertain for the
superstition that certain charms or
amulets will ward off disease. Intel
ligent persons have been known to
wear potatoes with holes bored through
them, SO as to form. gigantic finger
rings, for the cure of rheumatism, while
others carry potatoes in their pockets
for the same purpose. As for the 'sbuck-
eye," thousands swear by it.

THOUSANDS of tons of rich gold ore
are said to be disclosed in the Gordon
mine, located near Leadville. Large
particles of free gold may be seen gilt
tering by candle light in all portions of
the vein. Seventy-two pounds of ore
taken from this streak recently re-
turned over seventy-three ounces of
gold, more than an ounce of gold to the
pound of ore. The streak closely fol-
lows the hanging wall and gives an
average return of $4,000 per ton, the
very richest assaying as high as 100000
per ton. A conservative estimate shows

INFORMATION from numerous points
in the United States is to. the effect that
the watch club business, which flour
ished in almost every village two years
ago, is in the throes of death. Agents
travelled from place to place organizing
clubs among the laboring classes and
frequently selling, at prices which
should have enabled the purchasers to
obtain good timepieces, watches worth
but fraction of the sums paid for
them.

One of the latest methods of loosen
ing the earth to depth of two or three
feet and allowing the absorption of con-
siderable moisture in periods of drought
is by the use of dynamite electrically
fired. The inventor drills holes two to
three feet deep and five feet apart, max
ing one thousand six hundred to the
acre. In each hole is placed sufficient
quantity of the explosive, connected
with wire leading to the battery, and
after the earth is tramped down the
whole is discharged by spark.

THE largest block of asphaltum ever
mined in one mass was recently taken
from the mines of the Santa Barbara
Asphalt Company, California. 1t
weighed two and half tons. The
mine in question has only been opened
about one year. Though chiefly used,
as is well known, for street paving, its
employment is increasing for other
purposes, large quantities being now
consumed in making floors for ware
houses, cellars, wineries, breweries,
ETC., as it renders floors absolutely
water tight, besides being unaffected by
acids or gases.

JustifSing Wrong.

It is not habit that works the worst
ruin of man, but opinions and princi-
Piles that lie close to the fountains of
character. There may be hope for a
man if he does wrong, if he thinks and
feels right, but there is no hope for one
who thinks wrong, very justly remarks
a wise contemporary, whatever his con-
duct may or may not be- A man who
deliberately justiies himself in vicious
conduct robs himself of safe and sound
principles in all departments of life.
In the last century there was, as there
is in the early and rude periods of all
nations, great deal of what may be
called impulsive or natural vice-the
product of simple appetite; but it was
not justified by any theory of morals.
It wrought little injury compared with
the vice of the present, which attempts
to justify itself by aspecies of sophistry
called q philosophy of life. just SO
soon as one begins to think wrong
on this subject, he will think
wrong on all subjects. There
are some vices and many unsound
opinions that man may carry external
to himself; they do not necessarily
touch the core and substance of his
character; but wrong thinking here
spreads like some foul contagion
throughout the whole man, subduing-
like the dyer's hand in what it works
in'-everything to it's own false COM
plexion and quality.

UNDER the leadership of 10 Lowe, o!
the Fifth district, those who oppose flu
sion are considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
boiting the convention tomorrow and
putting out a state ticket, should action
be taken to ratify the Peoples party tick
ct. They say that their organization has
been reduced to almost nothing under the
leadership of those who are in for anoth-
er trade, and their patience is nearly
gone. Editor Rambo, Of the Chetopa
Advance, expressed the sentiment of the
old line Democrats as follows: 1.-THE
Democrats have wandered off after all
the false gods and isms that have come
up until at present there is practically no
Democratic party in Kansas. Even if the
Peoples part, should go to pieces to-day
there are not Democrats enough in Kan
sas to form a nucleus around which they
could cluster. The Democrats have at
tempted to fuse with everything that has
come along for the last twenty years. 1t
was first the grange, then the Greenback-
ers, the resubmissionists; next the Union
Labor outfit,and now the Peoples party.
Every time we have lost and now the
party has dwindled to nothing, and now
propose that we fuse with yellow dog
and shoot the dog This is about the sit
uation. In 1886 there were $4,000 Dem
ocrats in Kansas. to-day it would be a
hard matter to muster the $1,000 who
would dsre to be counted. No wonder
the Peoples party do not feel like making
any concessions. 1t is more to their in
terest to adjust things in such a manner
rs to hold firm the Republican contingent
of their party as they know the Republi-
cans in their party have home to which
they can return, while those coming from
the Democratic side have not. What we
want now in Kansas is leader who can
gather together the fragments of the
Democratic party, re-organize it on Dem
ocratic principles and carry the banner to
victory. There is yet little life left in
the Democratic party of Kansas; shall it
be restored to full vigor and strength or.
shall it wither, die and perish" Journal

Rowed His Last Race.

TORONTO. Ont, Nov. 25.-Willism O'Con-
nor, champion osrsman OF America, died
at home in this city late Wednesday after
noon, OF typhoid fever, after brief ILL
ness.
In the death OF Oarsman O'Connor the
profession loses one OF the cleanest young
athletes that ever sat in a racing shell, for
throughout his entire career his conduct
never savored of anything but the perfect
gentleman. His success was phenomenal,
for in few years he bounded from the
amateur ranks into the front rank OF the
professional.
He was born in Toronto, May 4, 1853
He was a splendid specimen OF an athlete,
standing 3 feet 9hs inches and weighing
IN condition, 165 pounds.
: O'Connor was a single man and although
his English and Australian races were
financial failures, he was, nevertheless,
quite comfortable, as far as worldly goods
were concerned.
