Allen, in the name of justice and the
continental congress, and proceed to
make themselves homes. They do
not do this to cheat anyone out of
their land or to cause them trouble.
but there are hundreds of claims
staked of by men who will never re-
turn to them, and if a man expects to
hold claim it is now about time for
him to be making Improvements on
it. 1t is claimed that the officials at
the land Office have instructed those
who have been waiting there to file,
to return to their claims and 60 to
improving them, that improvements
would hold over a filing even"

The editor of the Oxford Register,
who has been west, makes the follow
ing suggestion to farmers having al
kali spots on their farms: while in
California last spring the writer
made some inquiries about the sugar
beet, which has found its greatest
success in that state. 1t has proven
a successful and desirable source of
income to the people out near the
coast, although expensive on the
start. 1t stands drouth well and
what is of more Importance. il thriycs
best on alkali land, Many acres Of
alkali may be seen along the San
Joaquin valley-in wheat fields the
alkali spots being as bare as your
hand and visible at long distances.
The sugar beet abSOrbS the alkali and
after two or three crops it entirely
disappears, leaving the hitherto use
less land for wheat as good as the
best. Can't youch for the truth Of
the statement, but it might be well
to try to redeem the alkali spots By
/ planting sugar beets. 1t would be nj
loss, for they make excellent feed
especially for mich cows.

FREAKS OF MEMORY.
Here are Some Queer Facts About Vari-
GUS Noted Men.

Here are Some Queer Facts About Vari-
GUS Noted Men.
Great men are always eccentric, and
men who want the world to think they
are great begin the jugglery of eccen-
tricity early in life and keep it up. The
genuine genius has a great deal Of
trouble with his memory.
Henry Clay couldn't repeat a verse of
any poem. He couldn't repeat the old
long metre doXology, Praise God from
whom all blessings fow," but he never
forgot an argument, name or a face.
DR.. Leyden, the intimate friend of
Sir Walter Scott, could repeat an act
Of Parliament after hearing it's first
reading. 1t is an old story that Milton
could repeat Homer.
Charles James Fox once paid visit
to the town of Gorcum. He was relat-
ing an incident that occurred there
but could not think of the name of the
town. The next day he was giving q
dinner, and while carving he startled
his guests by calling, "Gorcum, Cor
cum" The name of the town had just
occurred to him.
Syndey Smith pretended to despise
memory. He said he saw no more
sense in remembering all he had read
than the dinners that had made him
fat.
The story has been told for 100 years
that Cyrus knew the names of all his
soldiers. Emperor Hadrian could re-
peat 1000 words in the order he heard
them. Angelo had all Of Dante and
Petriarch in his memory. 1t is said
that Pascal knew the Bible by heart.
Leibnitz could repeat nearly the whole
of Virgil.
A London reporter took no notes, and
yet, when an unexpected debate sprang
UP, and he was left alone he could
write it out verbatim. When listening
he closed his eyes. He called it 'being
held up by the ears"
Prof. Lawson boasted that he could,
if the Bible were lost, repeat the whole
of it with the exception of a few
verses. Lord Macaulay made the same
boast about ''Pilgrim's Progress and
Paradise Lost" It will be remem-
bered that none of the works named
were lost, so that the gentlemen were
never put to the test. 1t is a fact,
however, that Macauley had a wonder
full memory. When a boy he went
with his father to call on a gentleman
upon whose table lay SCOTS Lay of
the Last Minstrel" Young Macaulay
read it, and when he reached home he
repeated it.
The most remarkable feat of memory
on record was that of an itinerant ac-
tor of England, William Lyon. He
won a bet of crown bowl of punch
that he could repeat the whole of an
issue of the London Daily Advertiser
after hearing it read. This was the
more remarkable because, as readers
of newspapers know, there is no sort
of connection between advertisements
and the variety is endless.
Jedediah Buxton was illiterate. He
could tramp over tract Of ground and
tell it's contents in square feet or inches
with eXactness.

Treatment of Watches.

That watch may keep good time,
says Chambers's Journal, it should be
carefully treated; it should be wound
at the same time daily, and when not
worn should be placed in the same
position, always hung up, or always
laid down, as every watch goes differ
emily in different positions. In watches
having double case, the outer one
should never be left open. If it is left
open even for one night the glass is
covered with a thin film of dust, which
will gradually enter the works through
even the tiniest openings in the case.
Watches should be wound in the
morning, because a spring fully wound
up will more readily overcome the dis
turbances produced by the movements
of the wearer.- Springs will not break
so easily if watches are carefully
wound up and not taken out of a warm
pocket and placed directly against a
cold wall Or on a marble slab; for that
reason protective mat is desirable
The changes of the oil, the variations
ity Of the air, all greatly affect the
going of a watch, and it is only the
lever watch of the most perfect finish
WHICH, dluOSL ueulIdIlHSS llOSS universe
influences. No watch keeps perfectly
correct time. Even the best chronome-
ters, used in observatories and on board
ships, must be regulated according to
tables which fix the variations to which
watches are subject.
A watch should be cleaned every two
or three years. In time the oil decom-
poses, gets mixed with the particles of
dust which enter the works of even
the best-closing watch, begins to act
as a grinding material, and wears out
the working parts. 1t frequently hap
pens that a watch requires cleaning
oftener than once in two years, espec-
tally if it closes badly or is exposed to
much dust and dirt. Any one who has
the misfortune to drop his watch into
water should take it at once to the
matchmaker, to have it t<1en to pieces
and cleaned; delay of even an hour
may spoil the watch forever.

An Early start

"You did not run fast enough" said
the station agent to the passenger who
missed his train. Il ran fast enough,
but did not start soon enough" said
the passenger, as soon as he could get
breath enough to reply. When we see
a farmer drawing out manure while
other farmers are planting, planting
while others are hoeing, and killing
weeds when his grass is drying up in
the field, or harvesting unripe corn
after the frost has killed the stover,
we think that, no matter how hard he
may have worked Or how busy he has
kept since he began the spring work,
the trouble is that he did not start soon
enough. He should have had part
Of his land fall-plowed, he should have
had his manure drawn to the field dur
ing the fall and winter; he should have
had seed and fertilizer at home before
the ground thawed, and the team and
tools should have been in shape to
work right on without breakage or him
drance from the first Then he would
not have been in a position to realize
quite SO fully the truth of the old
proverb regarding the length and al
most hopelessness of the stern chase"

vRTUoUS JOSEPH SMITH.

Saws the Creed of the Latter Day Saints

Joseph Smith, President of the re

Latter Saints, is at Plainville, Mass
this week, attending the annual camp
meeting Of the Massachusetts dlstrlcf
Gf the church.
In regard to Mormonism he saidi

its forms, and the younger portion ot
the community, who are gradually get
ting the reins Of power, VIII allow
nothing of the kind. Why, the book
of Mormonism, which we believe, but
place second to the Bible, on which
our religion is founded, prohibits polyg-
amy, though this news may sound
strange to the ears Of outsiders. On
this account Young could not maintain
belief in both the book and his creed
of multiple marriage, and that is why
he started in ON his own account. The
book of Mormon is simply record Of
doings of the people whom we believe
first inhabited this continent, the fore
fathers of the American Indians and
the Mound Builders"

a Census of Animals.

The rgost populous horse country in
the world is Russia in Europe 1t has
100000 of horses. The United
States comes next, with a horse popu-
lation of more than 100000. In pro-
portion to the number Of inhabitants
the United States is far richer in horses
than Russia. But in that proportion
the United States is in turn far sur
passed by the Argentine Republic,
where, according to the latest access1-
BILE figures, there are few more horses
than people.
The countries. Of western and south
ern Europe are thinly populated with
horses, compared with the American
continent and Russia. Italy, with a
human population Of more than 80,
100000, has only 100000 horses. But
it has almost twice as many mules and
donkeys as horses. Spain has only a
few more than 100000 horses, or about
one horse to every sixty people. Most
of the cavaliers of Spain ride on
donkeys. The United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland has only
about 100000 horses.
The United States is the most popu
lous mule country in the world. 1t is
also, by many millions, the most popu-
lous pig country, possessing over 46,
100000 of swine. There is, also, q
larger proportion of pigs to the hui
man population than in any other
country-larger even than in Ireland,
a country which is popularity but mis-
takenly supposed to be the Utopia of
the pig. The country of the sheep, par
excellence, is Australia.
On that continent there are few
more than 100000 people, but there
are 62,000,000 sheep-that is to say,
twenty sheep to every man, woman
and child In the United States we
have only about 100000 sheep,
which, though a larger sheep popula-
ton than that of any other country ex-
cept Australia and the Argentine Re-
public, is not proportionately so great
number as several other countries
possess. British India has more cattle
than any other country, but the United
States has almost as many-upWard Of
100000.
However, the Argentine Republic
again leads in the number of cattle in
proportion to human beings. If the
cattle in Argentina were divided equal
ly among all the people, every man,
woman and child would have five cat
tie to take care of, and there would be
enough left to give one additional crit
ter each to almost million of the peo-
pie. Considered from the point Of
view Of farm animals, the Argentine
Republic is probably the most import
ant country in the World.-Youth's

St. Johns, \. B., Aug. 15.-Intelli-
gence has been received here confirm
ing previous reports Of a Labrador
volcano.
Fishermen off Cape Harrison, Lab
rador, were startled on Thursday, Au-
gust 3, by strange noises on shore and
detonations like the firing Of heavy
artillery. Shortly afterwards the top
Of the cape was seen to be all ablaze,
e pillar Of flame shooting up TO a great
height. Some Of the most yenturesome
fishermen landed, thinking the brush
wood covering the ground might be on
fire and intending to eXtinguiSh it. But
they found that the fire came out Of
the earth. A large part of the top Of
the cliff had fallen in, leaving a vast
chasm, from which issued stream Of
fire, stones, cinders and steam. The
terrified fishermen returned to their
vessels, declaring that the world was
coming to an end. Many left the re-
gion in fright, spreading the story Of
the phenomenon along the coast.
