Vice President Elect Stevenson
voices the conservative sentiment of
the country when he says: "While
as Democrats we rejoice over the
great victory we have achieved, we
should not forget that we are all
Americans, Democrats and Repub-

one destiny. The glory which at

it is the inheritance of all our

that We are equally interested in
having wise legislation and honest

Tax Dodging.

Few men realize the extent to
which tax lodging is practiced, or
how the farmers are swindled into
paying the current expense OF Gov
ernment because the men who are
rich enough to own securities, re-
fuse to acknowledge their value
when making returns to the asses
sors. Witness the following in
stance in the good old New England
State of Massachusetts,.
At meetings for the discussion of
taxation reform, sweeping charges
of tax-dodging are always made, but
they are so indefinite that they lose
much of the force they would other
wise possess. Hence, when the
daily papers published the fling of
the inventory of the estate of the
late J. N. Fisk, the State street
millionaire, it occurred to the
Farmfr and Hom', that here
was possibly an opportunity for q
precise and specific statement. Ac-
cordingly a representative of this
paper was detailed to look up the
records in the assessors Office.

Pescadero Beach.
HfDDfacosrg.i


Nearly all the varieties of quartz, chalcedony,
and opal are found on the shore, except the ri-
descent precious opal. Among the innumerable
variety are seen the reddish brown jasper opal,
and q clear green stone-quite rare-errone-
ously termed emerald" What is here called
topaz is probably valuable yellow opal known
as the false topaz. Chalcedony affords the
beautiful red and pink carnelians that deepen
in color with exposure 10 the sun, and also the
moss agates found principally on Agate Beach.
Onyx, sardonyx. and banded-agatcs display
their dark tones Of gray, black, and dull red,
among the high lights of pearly moonstoncs,
sparkling water crystals, and brilliant, fiery
luster of chatoyant opals. Stones closely re-
sembing smoky quartz-Yery beautiful in
their clear deep tint-and others resembling
rose-quartz are sometimes found.
In addition 10 the gems mentioned there is
an infinite number OF unc!assifed pebbles of
every color. tint, and shape. a curious and
beautiful stone recently found on Pebble Beach
was OF a clear bright yellow, half an inch long,
and shaped exactly like An acorn in the cup.
Most Of the stones are perfect IN their natural
state and will repay setting.
The deposit varies with the tide Where to-
day lies a glinting bank Of stones, tomorrow
shines a clear stretch of sand, swept by the
waves bare az a polished foor First one beach
aud then another absorbs the attention of
young and old. How they dig with their
wooden paddles! And what careless attitudes
Of abandon are assumed! Gray-head bank
ers and brokers, staid matrons and dainty
maids, alike yield TO the charm of pebble pick
ing. Many a VOW is made that another day
shall find them at other sport yet the morrow
finds all again by the sea. eager and joyous a:

Anecdotes and Their Use.
North American RerieUV. |

No biographer can afford TO neglect the Illus
trston aud anecdotes Of everyday life, for they
may serve his purpose more successfully than
the most elaborate analysis. Without the use
of aneedote it is, therefore, impossible to at
tempt biography. and when bographer men,
tions peculiar Characteristic, an anecdote may
justify his statement and confirm his accuracy.
Thus one may read that Adam Smith was re-
markabiy absent minded. No one will doubt
this when told that once having to sign his
name to an official document the great econo.
mist produced not his own signature but
an elaborate imitation of the signature
of the person who signed before him; and
that, on another occasion, sentinel on
duty having saluted him in military style
was astonished to see him acknowledge it by
an awkward copy of the same gestures Busch,
the Boswellian biographer of Bismarck, says
that the Chancellor is of choleric disposition.
The least vexation is liable to provoke him to
volcanic outbursts of temper, but the eruption
rapidly subsidies. He tells no consrmatory
anecdotes but Count Beust comes to his rescue,
saying in his Memoirs" " that Bismarck once
left the Emperor's apartment in a rage, and,
finding that he was carrying by accident the
key with him, he threw it into basin in a
friends room, and broke the basin into frag-
ments. "Are you ill?" asked the occupant Of
the room. was" replied Bismarck, 'but

Col. III. and the Roman Beggar.


Col. H., of Baltimore settled in Rome some
years since, and for time received his mail at
the bank, to which he always walked morning
and afternoon passing en- route through the
Piazza di Spagna, where a venerable beggar sat,
and to whom he gave aims each time he passed.
But after a few months knowledge of Roman
beggardom he suddenly ceased to drop the ac-
customed copper into the extended hat. Where
upon the beggar brought suit for 600 lire, which
he claimed to have loaned to Col. IT,, producing
at the same time two witnesses to the fact. The
victim of this trick lost no time in consulting
a native lawyer, who remarked that while he
had no doubt of the utter fraudulency of the
claim, still the testimony of the beggar and
two ye-witnesses must stand in the absence of
any rebutting evidence; but that if the Colonel
would spend half the sum involved he would
undertake to defeat the stratagem Outraged
as he was, the Colonel concluded to accedc to
the attorneys terms; and when the case came
up, and the beggars two witnesses had testified
to having seen the beggar lend the money to
the defendant on a certain day, the latter's
lawyer promptly called two witnesses who
made oath that they had seen Col. H. pay the
money back to the beggar on day that proved
to be Just week after the date of the alleged
negotiation - this to the amazement of the
Colonel, and the CONSERVATION and defeat of
the beggar.

Safeguards Against Cholera.
North AmerieaR Rerei,o.

The practical question which concerns US in
this country is the danger to which we are ex-
posed This is not very great. In the first
place the fact of the existence of the disease is
known, and in such matters to be forewarned
is emphatically to be forearmed. Second, the
period of incubation of cholera is very short,
being from a few hours to three days. Conse-
quently, should any person infected board one
of the ships coming here the disease would
manifest itself before the arrival of the vessel.
The advantage of this is obvious no vessel
could arrive here with cholera on board with
out the quarantine physicians finding or hear
ing of cases. The outbreak of typhus which
occurred in this city some months ago was pro-
duced by people who, owing to the long incu-
baton of typhus, passed quarantine while ap-
parently well. OF course, the germs might
come here in rags, but the chances that rags
have of passing without dsinfection are extra
ordinarily small nowadays. AS water and food
are the carriers of the germs it follows that
these must be carefully watched should the
disease find a lodgment here. 1t is most fortu-
nate that the cholera bacillus can neither stand
heat nor cold. few days of sharp frost will
stamp an epidemic of the disease out. Food
must be eaten while hot and fresh from the
fire, and water, in cholera times, must be boiled.
