daisy cutter-the impression on the on
locker is an unpleasant feeling of incon-
gruity. Inharmonious action in driven
pair is, to judge of horses, as great a
fault as an i'll matched pair in color,
size and conformation to the ordinary
observer.
Something still more, however, than
any of the qualities we have named is
requisite. A perfect team of two or
more horses should possess, as well, the
same kind of temperament to make
driving agreeable. A sluggish horse in
company with one of a spirited disposi-
ton is continual source of irritation to
the driver. The willing horse also
takes more than his share of the work,
and the lazy less. If the latter has to
be repeatedly urged to do his duty, it
becomes a source of annoyance to the
former, who fidgets and unduly exerts
himself in the traces. A pair Of lynn
phatic horses is much to be preferred
to such combination. As the forma-
ton of perfect pairs, such as we have
indicated, is difficult matter and such
pairs are exceedingly rare,it is no won
der that when found they command
enormous prices. s.-London Live Stock

How the Gorilla Walks.

The usual pictures of the gorilla do
not represent him as | have seen him.
He has not only a crouching habit, but
he walks on all four of his legs and has
the motion of most quadrupeds, using
his right arm and left leg at the same
time, and alternates with the left arm
and right leg. 1t is not exactly walk
or trot, but kind OF ambling gait,
whilo the chimpanzee uses his arms as
crutches, but lifts one foot from the
ground little in advance of the other.
They do not place the palm of the hand
on the ground, but use the back OF the
fingers from the second joint and at
times the one | have described above
seemed to touch only the back of the
nails, but this was when she was scarce
ly moving at all. ] am now preparing
to photograph some of them, and I think
can give a more reliable picture of
this animal than l have ever seen here
tofore. .-McClure's Magazine.

The Nuggar Tank.

One of the innumerable curious sights
of India is the Nuggar tank of Kura-
chi. In former times the crocodiles
which inhabit it roamed the neighbor-
hood at their will, seeking whom they
might devour, but so great were their
depredations that the authorities were
forced to build a wall round their
haunt This is swamp, caused by hot
springs, the medicinal virtues of which
have been known from early times and
are attributed to the sanctity of Mo-
hammedan whose tomb is close by and
to whom the crocodiles are sacred.
The tank, as it is called. is about $50
yards long by about half that distance
in breadth. In this space one observer
counted over 200 reptiles from to 10
feet long and smaller ones innumerable.
They are so tame, in sense, that it is
necessary to poke them with stick be-
fore they will move.

water and are not attacked, but any
other animal is instantly seized. 1.-The

A Magical Golden Buck.

Ladies and gentlemen, said the
parlor magician, Il will now do a
very difficult trick. To do this trick l
must have the hearty cooperation of
the audience and six eggs. Will some
one please lend me an egg?" Here
there was much laughter and great ap-
plause. 'Ah. no one has eggs in his
pocket, Ell? Well, suppose I must
use some of those with which l have
luckily provided myself. l will take
this silk hat and break the eggs into it
So"
The magician took hat from table
which stood at his right and broke six
eggs into it, one after another. Then
he stirred them up with his wand, COW
cred the hat with handkerchief and
began to talk again: Now, ladies and
gentlemen, as you have no doubt no.
ticed, have broken the six eggs into
the hat and covered the hat with a
handkerchief. 1t is my purpose to wave
my wand thrice in the air, to say three
magic words and to produce before your
astcni.,lcd eyes a golden buck. The
trick l do with no fire and no cooking
utensils. l have no cuffs, and there are
no whiskers to deceive you. 1t will
merely demonstrate to you that the
movement of the hand is quicker than
the eye"
The magician then waved his wand
three times and said slowly and dis
tinctly: "Presto! Change! Come"
At the last word bright yellow negro
walked on the stage. Ladies and gen
tlemen," said the magician, there are
the egg shells, and. ladies and gentle
men," pointing to the negro, "here is

j. S. Morrison, bookkeeper for Vsche's

The matter of improving the roads Of
this county is attracting considerable
attention, the proposition being the is
suance of $3.50, 600 in bonds for that pnr-
pose. From the Redlands point OF view
this seems desirable. There is but one
decent road leading from Redlands, that
to Moreno and the biggest part of thSt
road 10 in Riverside county. We need
three other important roads-one to
Beaumont, via Yuciape valley one
across the Santa Ana to Highlands, and
one to San Bernardino. The roads now
leading to those points are in very bad
shape. But this is more than a county
question. 1t is one which should be
settled on harmonious line by San
Bernardino and Los Angeles counties,
that we have good road direct to Los
Angeles. Having covered that dis
tance q number of times on bicy-
Gle, know that it would not be very
difficult to make a good road. From
Los Angeles to Duarte there ia tiue

Dimas OF very bad road, which should
be thoroughly macad2m zsd, while the
road on to Ontario via Pomona is good,

Ontario to Rielto needs to be spread

lardino is the worst in America. From

certainly seem that these counties could

thorough repairs on 40 miles of road.

Items Indicating the Progress of That
Place.
EsceNDIDo, Dec. 9.-The board of di-
rectors of the Escondido irrigation dis
trict at their last meeting opened bids
for the bonds and for construction of the
main canal, and after some discussion
rejected all the bids. There was con-
ditional cid for the bonds of 80 cents on
the dollar, and two bids on construction
of the ditch line. Some dissatisfaction
is expressed with the action of the
board, as there are many who think
the bidder for the bonds, who also put
in bid for the work, was not given q
fair chance. 1t is quite generally
thought to be the main point in the
whole matter Of an irrigation system to
get the ditch line dug and the water
running through the valley, by which it
would be at once demonstrated that the
plan is feasible, and further. the water
right would be forever secured to the
district.
Two carloads OF raisins were shipped
a few days ago, and eight carloads will
be despatched this week, most OF them
destined for Chicago. Some of the vine
ysrdists are holding their raisins for
better market, among them Paul s.
Heffleman and William ID. Woodbridge,
who are storing their goods this week.
Others are sending forward their sacked
goods and holding their boxes for the
better prices that must prevail III the
spring.
The growth of Escondido during the
past year is evidenced by the following
figures from the postoffice records for
the month of November. 1892, and the
corresponding month OF 1898:
November, 1892, amount issued from
money order department, Sll66.29;
November, 1898, amount issued from
money order department. $21l5.07. In
other words the receipts from the sale OF
money orders and postal notes during
the month of November, 1898, were
nearly double what they were during
the same month of 1892.
