leading industry of this State if only en-
couraged.
A few years ago hop-raising in Califor-
MA was about to be given up in conse-
quence of the sharp competition in the
business, ana as a consequence hops were
sold in Sacramento and in the East for
half the cost of raising them. So the
credit OF growers began TO get shaky.
Mortgages were piled up, and capitalists
We're at loss to know what to do in the
premises. They laid no blame to the
growers, only to the conditions surround
ing the industry, for here labor was high,
wire and baling cloths also were high,
ana 10 allowance was made by dealers.
But had hop-growing TO be given up
the factories and their help would most
certainly have felt it; capital would also
nave ielt it, for there would have come a
crash TO more than one com munity.
Now, let us take into consideration the
cheap labor of Germany and England.
These countries are hop-producing cOun-
tries and can produce them cheaper than
we can, so far as labor is concerned.
Must we turn over the business to them?
If so, those men can't find that work that
we sent over to the other side of the At
lantic.
That low prices will come again no
| person acquainted with the business

only give it encouragement and Califor-
MIA will some day be the great produc-
ing country of the world
Give us twine at cost, baling cloth at
cost, and anything that will help it along,
and 1t will add its millions to the wealth
OF the State, furnish employment to the
! old and the weak and the strong and to
/ people unable to perform other kinds of
/ labor. Those $50 men will be able to
! find employment in other lines that will
indirectly be created by it being made
! profitable to the producer. The country
! producer in almost all lines is at his wits
end to see how to make ends meet. To
say nothing of profits, his capital in all
cases is an idle investment. Not so with
the banker, manufacturer or merchant.
They call for tariff and get it, and at the
! expense of the producer.
L say we must come to a level with the
Eastern States in the price of labor and
all other things. Until then California
must be a backwoods country with a
/ sparse population and buy of the East
ern States things which we should pro-
! duce ourselves. But the difference in the
price of labor forbid it.
[ am informed this twine factory en-
ploys Chinese laborers and only dismiss
them about election time or during the
sitting of the Legislature and calls them
| back again, and let me say there are very
few philanthropists in these days.

Raising Water in London Docks.

In lieu of mourning the immense ex-
pense Of excavating the London docks to
accommodate the increased size given to
modern ships, large pumping engines
have now been set up, and the water in
the docks is raised by this means. Some
idea of the demands upon these engines
can be had from the size of the docks,
one of which has an area of nearly ten
acres, the pumps which raise the water
having capacity of 6S5 tons per minute
and raising the water level five feet in
one half hours.
Centrifugal pumps of superb work
manship are employed, driven direct by
compound tandem engines, and the power
of these pumps is evident from the fact
that the inlet oriiees to the main pumps
are fifty-four inches in diameter, and,
when worked together, the three pumps
have capacity TO raise 57,6O0,000 gal
Ions of water in five hours. against an
average head of ten feet. The pumps
are arranged to be worked separately
and Independently or together, as de-
sired, and the engines are supplied with
steam at a hundred pounds pressure by
powerful boilers. York Sun.

Kosciusko, wounded and made

The Big Kimberley Mine.

No pen can adequately describe the
appearance of the Kimberley mine. 1t is
the largest hole made by man, and in the
shortest space of time, for the incentive
to work was there-the diamond. A
spectator standing on the edge looks
down and sees men at work looking like
ants in size, and during the blasting
hours he can in perfect safety witness
the explosion of thousands of pounds of
dynamite and note the rending of masses
of blue and rock. which would fall far
below him.
AS an honor to the late Chinese Cor
don" when he visited the mines, the
writer saw the Kimberley mine illumin-
ated at night with thousands of impro-
vised lamps, assisted with colored fires
and displays of fireworks. The weird
effect produced was grand, for the eye
could not properly measure distance at
night, and the twinkling lamps but
served to heighten the effect.-Engineer-

A Chinaman boarded Market street
car and handed the conductor five cent
piece. That official rang up fare on
the register and, while making change
for another passenger, put the China
mans nickel in his mouth. In going
around the curve by the public buildings
the car gave lurch and the conductor
swallowed the coin. The fact of what
the result might be to his digestion didn't
seem to trouble him so much as being
short in his cash. His first move was to
put the Celestial off the car, but the fare
had already been registered and he spent
the remainder Of the trip in trying to
figure whether he was five cents out or
five cents in, or both.-Philadelphia

1t is now generally admitted that con-
stipatiou is productive of serious disor-
ders, that it aggravates other ailments,
increases the susceptibility of the system
to infectious diseases and produces a
state of general physical disturbance.
The nervous system is especially affected,
and it must be remembered that the
nervous centers are in the brain.
The deletcrious effects of constipation
were formerly explained by the pressure
of the hardened mass on the blood YES
sells and nerves of the intestines. But a
different view is now taken. 1t is be.
lieved that they are due to powerful
poisons, which have been proved to be
developed in the process of incipient de-
composition.
There is reason to believe that extreme
cases of constipation may result in in
sanity. In some of the worst cases of
constipation there is a free passage
through the compact mass, the latter
adhering in thick layers to the walls of
the intestines, while the patient has no
suspicion of his real condition.
That grave diseases do not oftener re-
suit from constipation is due to the con.
stant use of cathartics on the part of
those affected. But such use is itself in
furious. The true course is to establish
habits that will effectually remove the
tendency to constipation. The muscular
vigor of the intestines needs to be in
creased by invigorating the muscular
system generally with proper outdoor
exercise. youths Companion.

ways under the tutelage of DR., Jor

seen in the Bloomington postoflice
waiting its turn when the mail for
the president would be handed ou'
inclosed in leatherp pouch. With
this pouch the dog would trot away
toward the residence of the prcsi
dent and woo to any one who at
tempted to bar its progress.
DIR, Jordan ON leaving presented
the dog to Professor Hoffman of the
college At first the dog was disin,
clined to part with his master, and
upon meeting DR. Jordan in the
street would turn away from Profess
or Hoffman and follow after. Being
driven away once or twice, however,
it made no further attempts at fol.
lowing him. On the occasion of the
doctors departure Professor Hoff
man, along with the other mem.
bers of the faculty, went to the
depot. The dog journeyed with him.
1t was hero that DR.. Jordan stopped
and patted the dog on the head and
then entered the cars. The dog
watched wistfully for the reappear
ance of the good doctor, but in vain.
Soon after this Professor Hoff
man noticed that his dog was absent

operator at the depot also noticed the
daily visits of the dog to the station
on the arrival and departure of the 9

whom the dog belonged he sent
word, and Professor Hoffman next
day watched the strange sight. The
dog came, expecting the return of its
former master, and waited patiently
for the approach of the train. AS
the train neared the depot, it would
prick up its ears and observe the ar.

Arago was a fine looking man, with a
very fine looking wife, and a stanch Re-

weak, and always shifting his politics
according to the time. This led at last
to such a quarrel between him and
Arago that it was not usual for persons
to attend the soirees of both
When Laplace was near his end Arago
saw man at his own soiree who usually
went to his rivals, and remarked. "Ah!
he sees old Laplace is going and so he
