THE question, "What does a man
buy when he purchases the title TO a
farm?" has often been asked but not
satisfactorily determined. From the
latest decision on the subject, says the
Globe Democrat it is plain that he buys
the ground OF course, and all the
buildings erected on it. whether they
are mentioned or not. He also buys
all the fences, but not material once
used, then taken down and laid
aside, nor material purchased for
new fence, unless these are spe-
cially mentioned. He also buys all
adjuncts necessary to the farm except
implements and machinery. For in
starce, if there is pile of bean poles
cut and once used they are the sellers
property. unless specified as sold
Standing trees and trees that have
fallen or blown down 60 with the

A MATHEMATICAL FABLE.
Los Angeles Sunday World.

Los Angeles Sunday World.
There was once wise king who was
awfully curious. He was possessed of
desire to know everything AMI was
continually asking questions. Indeed,
his thirst for knowledge carried him SO
that he wanted to know the age of
every person he met. But, being a
king, he WAS exceedingly polite, and
would resort to strategy to gain his
ends.
One day there came to the court a
gray-haired professor, who amused the
king greatly. He told the monarch a
number of things that he never knew
before, and the king was delighted.
But finally it came to the point when
the ruler wanted to know the age OF
the professor, SO he thought of a
mathematical problem.
"Ahem!" said the king, al have an
interesting sum for you; it is a trial
in mental arithmetic. Think of the

DURING the ten years from 1881 to
1891 the office-holders have increased
under the federal government from
l24, $40 to 1S3,4SS, or just 5S,S4S.
While the population and business of
the government during that time have
increased very rapidly it hardly seems
probable that it has grown so fast as
to warrant the increase OF 5000 Office
holders annually in the decade. Dur
ing the past thirty years the various
departments have been receptacles for
political driftwood for whom positions
have been created and, who give but
very little in return for the salaries
they draw. There is a chance for the
vigorous use of the official ak and
broom in nearly every part Of the
government service and the sooner the
l work is done the better.

THE SEALING FLEETS.

San Francisco, June 29.-Reports from
the sealing fleet in Bering Sea and off
the coast of Japan show that all the
vessels have been very successful so
far. Up to June 18th, the catch of
twenty-nine vessels in the Bering Sea
fleet was 22,496 skins, and that of fif-
teen vessels of the Japan fleet 16,SSO
skins. or a total of SS,S76 skins. which.
at the market value of $14 per skin,
represents the sum of $544,264. AS only
forty-four out of one hundredpand odd
vessels in the fleet have been spoken,
it is safe to say that the above val
uation can be increased by $1,OOO,OOO.
The Bering Sea fleet has been very
lucky, the only mishap being to the
Henry Dennis, which lost two boats
and four native hunters. OF the Japan
fleet the schooner Alton lost one boat
containing q hunter and two sailors.

MR. HARRISON INTERVIEWED.

New York, June 2g.-Ek-President
Harrison is in this city, and when
asked how he accounted for the shrink
age in silver since the passage of the
Sherman law, said he preferred not to
discuss that subject. but everybody
knows he said, that the Sherman
law was only an expedient that was
passed in preference to something
worse" The ex-president thought a
great deal more blame was laid at the
door of the Sherman law than 1t de-
served. but that its repeal might tend
to restore the public confidence If only
by working upon the imagination.

very much If the Sherman act can be

tainly cannot be wiped out unless a
substitute satisfactory to the advocates
of free coinage is provided. Should

peal without granting such substitute,
a silver party will be formed and it
will WELD such an influence that to
ignore It would be fatal to any man
who desires political preference.

CHINESE USING DYNAMITE.

Portland June 90 Shortly before
midnight loud explosion was heard
at Seventh and GlIsan streets. 1t
proved to be in Chinese wash house
where an explosion occurred only few
days ago. The rear Of the house was
shattered by dynamite cartridge, and
considerable damage done, but as far
as is known no one was hurt It Is
supposed both attempts to blow up thc
building have been made by China
man who keeps laundry just across
the street. The chlnaman In whose
place the explosion occurred sold out
a few months ago to the laundryman
across the street, but recently he re-
turned and started another wash house.
It is supposed that the deed was done
for revenge.

ASSOcldleu GTeSS.
Denver, Colo, A large number of rep
resentative smelling and mining men Of
the state met this afternoon, and
unanimously decided to completely
close down all smelters, mills and sill
yer mines in Colorado.
Resolutions were adopted which de-
clare that the world cannot transact
business without silver money; that the
inevitable course of events will quick
ly demonstrate that the enormous sums
of money invested in railroads, loans
and other property will so depreciate in
value that mono-metallists will also be
convinced that some action must be
taken with silver to restore 1T to its
legitimate USE which it has held from
time immemorial This action Will
throw many thousands of persons out
of employment.
/. A new and vigorous move was
made by the smelter men who met here
this afternoon. Tonight Ex-Governor
Grant Of Omaha who was chairman of
today's meeting, gave out the following
for publication, in accordance with res
olutions passed by the miners and
smelters meeting this afternoon. "The
Missouri valley, representing almost
80 per cent of the smelling business
of the United States, has decided to
cease purchasing silver ores, and go
out of business. They, have approx
mately but 100000 ounces of silver in
stock. With this limited supply the
government cannot purchase the
amount made obligatory by the Sher-
man bill during the next two months.
