c. w. Benson, of Whatcom, heard a
commotion outside at night, and found
two men trying to tear board off his
chicken-house. He seized his ak and
went out. When so feet away he drew
his ak to his shoulder and ordered
them to throw up their hands or he
would blow their heads off. The
men fled precipitately.

DEATH OF PROF. TINDALL.-One Of
the most prominent scientists the world
has ever produced. died at Haspemere,
Surrey, England, where he resided, on
the 4th inst. He was Irish by birth,
having first seen the light of day at
Leighton's bridge, near Carlow, on the
2lst day of August, 1920. He was
educated for a civil engineer, but very
early in life manifested a liking for the
mysteries in Nature which investiga-
ton solved and devoted from four to
five hours a day to the causes Of
things. He visited the Alps with Prof.
Huxley and made glaciers his study.
In 1873 he made lecture tour in the
United States and devoted the pro-
ceeds, $15, 900, to fund for the aid Of
students who devote themselves to
original research. 1t was he who pro-
posed to submit the question of the
efficacy OF prayer to q practical test,
which was tacitly adopted when
President Garfield was upon his
death-bed. Prof. John Tyndall is the
author of many books on natural
philosophy, and his work will live
long after the marble which COM
memorates the worlds renowned has
crumbled to dust.

and Territory.
An agricultural experiment station
has been established. These stations,
by their very character and name, are
the proper agencies to experiment and
test new varieties of seeds, and yet
this indiscriminate and wasteful dis
tribution by legislation and legislators
continues. 1t answers no purpose,
unless it be to remind constituents
that their representatives are willing
to remember them with gratitude at
at public cost. Under this action of
legislation there was sent out from the
agricultural department during the
last fiscal year enough cabbage seed to
plant $4,000 acres of land; a sufficient
quantity of beans to plant 1000 acres
beet seed enough to plant $500 acres /;
corn enough to plant 1880 acres
sufficient cucumber seed to cover g.
O35 acres with vines; and enough
muskmelon and watermelon seeds to
plant 2,675 acres. The total quantity
of flower and vegetable seeds thus
distributed was contained in more
than 100000 packages, and they
were sufficient, if planted, to cover
SO ,565 acres of land. In view OF these
facts, this enormous expenditure with
out legitimate returns of benefit ought
to be abolished.
Anticipating a contamination so
manifestly in the interests of good
administration, more than 100000
has been stricken from the estimate
made to cover this object for the year
ending June 80, 1895, and the secretary
recommends that the remaining $685..
GOO OF the estimate be confined strictly
to the purchase of new and improved
varieties OF seeds, and that these be
distributed through the medium oil
the experiment stations. Thus the
seed will be tested, and after the test
has been completed by the experiment.
station the propagation of the useful
varieties and the rejection of the
valueless may safely be left to the
common sense of the people.

RECEIPTS FOR THE YEAR.
The postoffice receipts for the last
fiscal year amounted to $75 1896 1888. Is,
and its expenditures to $S1 ,O74, l04.9O.
This postoffice deficiency would
disappear, or be immensely decreased,
if less matter was carried free through
the mails an item of which is upward
of 800 tons of seeds and grain from
the agricultural department. The
total number of postofices in the
United States on the 30th day of June,
1898, was 68 ,403, an increase of 1884
over the preceding year. OF these, g.
800 were presidential, an increase in
that class of 204 over the preceding
year. Forty-two free-delivery offices
were added during the year to those
already existing, making a total of
6lO, cities and towns provided with
free-deliveries on June 80, 1898.
Ninety-thres other cities and towns
are now entitled to this service under
the law, but it has not been accorded
them on account OF insufficient funds
to meet the expense of the establish
ment. I am decidedly of the opinion
that the provisions of the present law
-
this feature OF mail service as is neces-
sary or justifiable, and that it ought
not to be extended to smaller COM
munities than now designated. The
expense OF free-delivery for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1898, will be
more than $11,OOO,OOO, and under
legislation now existing there must be
a constant increase in this item OF
expenditure.

be favorably considered.
TO PRESERVE OUR FORESTS.
I especially commend to the atten.
ton OF Congress the statements con-
tanned in the secretary's report con-
corning forestry. The time has come
when efficient measures should be
taken for the preservation of our
forests from indiscriminate and re-
NEEDLESS destruction.
ABOUT THE FARM.
The report OF the Secretary of Agri.
culture will be found exceedingly
interesting, especially to that large
part of our citizens intimately con-
cerned in agricultural occupations.
March 7, 1898, there were upon its
payrolls 2,430 employees. This num-
Der has been reduced to 1850 persons.
In view OF depleted public treasury
and the imperative demand of the
people for economy in the administra-
ton of their government, the secre-
tary has entered upon the task of
iotiOhoiiy 1CuuSihS opportunities ny
the elimination from the payrolls of
all persons not needed for an efficient
conduct of the affairs of the depart
ment. During the first quarter of the
present year the expenses of the de-
partment aggregated $345, 976.76, as
against $402, O2l.42 for the correspond
ing period of the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1893. The secretary makes
apparent his intention to continue
this rate of reduction by submitting
estimates for the next fiscal year less
by 1894 ,2S0 than those for the present
year. Among the heads of divisions
in these departments, the changes
have been exceedingly few. Three
vacancies occurring from death and
designations have been filled by the
promotion OF assistants in the same
divisions. These promotions of ex-
perienced and faithful assistants have
not only been in the same interest Of
efficient work, but have suggested to
those in the department who look for
