WITHIN the wide domain of news
paperdom there are teachers ard
teachers, ranters and fools, and at
times it is hard to separate the
wheat from the chaff, the teacher
from the Ignorant gab-gifted, med
dlesome ranter. There is a wide
difference between the man who at
tempts to teach the world that it is
living wrong and the man who be-
lieves in turning the people into
the right road with a stick Of dyna-
mite.

We Mean Business.

The public is quick to appreciate an
article of merit, and when the publish
ers of The State Journal began offering
their Semi-Weekly at only $1.OO per
year, the same price that others ask for
tl.eir weeklies which only give half as
many papers, the subscription list
doubled in a few months, and has since
been growing with wonderful rapidity
leaving the old-fashioned weeklieS away
behind. People don't see any use in
waiting a whole week for the news when
they a get it fresh twice a week for
the same money. Readers of The Semi
Weekly Journal get 104 papers a year
for only $1.00, which is less than one
cent per copy, and they find the paper
almost as good as a daily. IF you have
not yet tried this great paper, do so at
once. 1t gives you the market twice
each week, which alone is worth The
price. Some of u special offers are:
The Journal and either The Standard
History of the United States, Stanley's
Adventures in Africa, Life of Spurgeon
or Life of Harrison, handsomely bound
books, postage all paid, for $40. The
Journal and Weekly New York Tribune
both n year, $1.25. For $500 we
will send The Journal two years and one
Of the above books free; for two new
subscribers (your one may be one of
them) we will send you any one of the
above named books free: for S1.65 We
will send The Journal and Tribune, and
any one of the books. We mean bust
ness and our offers are down to hard
time prices. Send for a free sample at
once. Address,

Mustaches and Boards.

Englishmen only a generation ago had
such a detestation of mustaches and
boards that the practice Of shaving all
hair off their face down to their mutton.
chop whiskers was all but universal.
From one extreme our clean shaven ia
theirs plunged into the other, and boards
and mustaches rapidly became the fash
ion. The fashion has of late years again
been modified. Boards are less common,
but the mustache is cultivated in Eng.
land as widely as on the continent
London Standard.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS-.

An interesting and important
congress will meet at Los Angeles,
California, ON October 10, to sit for
five days. This is the International
Irrigation Congress, the last ses-
sion Of which was held at Salt Lake
Cityin September, 1891, about 700
delegates being present. It is ex-
pected that the Los Angeles Con-
gross will be numerously attended
not only from all parts Of the Uni
ted States, but from foreign coun-
tries as we'll.
The people of the United States
have only just begun to realize the
Importance Of irrigation to this
country. The available Govern
ment land in the United States,
outside Of the arid regions, is al
most exhausted. The time is nearly
gone when Uncle Sem could give
every man q farm. What is left
is mostly in the so-called "desert"
regions-those dry and forbidding
stretches of sage-brush and cactus
covered land, which were long be-
lieved to be absolutely worthless
but which water, directed by sci
ehce, has in many cases transform
ed into veritalbe Edens. 1t is to
these regions that those of the ris-
ing generation who desire to follow
Horace Greeley's advice and ''go
vest must look for their indepen-
dent homes, where they may liter
ally sit under the shade Of their one
vine and fig tree.
1.-THE man who causes two blades
of grass to spring up where one
grew before is worthy of honor,
what shall be said Of the man or
men, who build furnishing cities,
surrounded by smiling orchards
and vineyards, in spots where a few
years ago a jack rabbit would have
starved to death?
It is fitting that Los Angeles, the
"City of the Queen ofthe Angels"
should be selected as a meeting
place for this congress, for in the
section of which that city is the
commercial center irrigating has
reached its greatest development,
and water, backed by American
pluck and perseverance, has accom-
plished greater marvels than in any
other section of the United States,
perhaps the world. Here are Pas
sadena and Riverside, beautiful
and wealthy cities of some 10000
inhabitants each, upon sites that
20 years ago where consideredgood
for nothing but sheep pasture.
And Los Angeles itself is a good
proof Of the value of irrigation, for
it has grown within a few years,
from a sleepy semi Mexican pueblo
of 10000 people to a live and
beautiful American metropolis Of
$4,000 population ,andthis increase
is due to the development Of
the surrounding country by means
Of irrigation.

~Inclosing a Stamp.

When you buy a sheet of postage
stamps, do not tear off the blank edge.
Instead leave it attached, and when you
inclose stamps in a letter turn back a
part of the blank paper, moisten it and
stick it to the head of your letter. This
act will call down blessings upon your
head from the editor who is accustomed
to receive his stamps loose and futter-
ing, or, what is worse, irrevocably stuck
to the letter.-Writer.
