The Sudden Abandonment of a
 House.

An unexplained discharge of fl arms took place about 6 o'clock last night near house not far from Central avenue half a mile north of the city. It was heard by several persons and one witness saw the flashes from the gun. A light in the house near where the shooting occurred was immediately ex- tinguished.
 The matter was reported at the sherif7s office and Undersheriff Wldmer and Deputy Prothero went out to lnves- tigate. It was was already so dark that the house could not be definitely located. The officers were directed though to one at which it was supposed the shooting took place. The house was locked and seemed to be in good order. In tent adjoining was found a lamp which had been cleaned and had not since been lighted. There was no one in the vicinity of the house and nobody could be found who knew who lived in it.

NOW FOR PEACE. Japan Ready to Make a

Belief That Greatest Material Ad- VantaGeS May Be Gained by

 ToKIo, Dec. 22.-(Per Steamer City of Peking, via San Francisco. )-If the judgment of the most intelligent of the broad minded section of the Japanese community could be openly expressed it would be found already favorable to negotiations for peace.
 A majority of ministers of state are thoroughly persuaded that 10 time is likely to be more propi- tious than the present for settle ment that shall secure the greatest material advantages to their country and at the same time guarantee entire security for the future. They believe that additional victories may have the effect of wringing extensive territorial concessions from their conquered ad- versarv, but they doubt the wisdom of assuming responsibilities of continental administration which may prove more burdensome than Japan can bear.

sufficient to know that the nominee was
his bitter political enemy. and that the
nomination had been made as personal
affront To him. This led 10 some words
between the two Florida senator's, but no.
thing approaching the sensational.

A CHRISTIAN HOME.

Oh, great! unspeakable, is the blessing OF
a goodly home Here Is the cradle of the
Christian. Hence he sal les forth for encoun-
ter with the world, armed at all points, dis
ciplined in all means of resistance and full OF
hope and victory under his heavenly leader.
Hither he ever afterwards turns dut1ful and
afectionate look, regarding it as the type
and pledge Of another home. Hither, too,
when sore wounded IN the conflict, he resorts
to repair his dropping vigor. Here when
abandoned by the selfish sons OF this world,
he finds, as in a sanctuary, the children OF
God ready with open arms to receive him.
And here the returning prodigal, enfolded In
the embrace of those who knew not the i'm
purities of the world with which he has been
mixing, feels all at once his heart burst with
shame and repentance. Merciful God, what
q city OF refuge hast thou ordained In the
Christian home! A true Christian home can
scarcely be said to die. 1t may disappear
from the eyes OF flesh, but its better parts,
those which are truly valuable. belong also
to our everlasting home. 1t has but to throw
off the elements of flesh. and It becomes at
once the spiritual home to which eternal bliss
Is appended. All its occupations are prepara-
tions for another life: all its actions converge
to that point its society originating in the
flesh has long ago been established in the
spirit. Its inmates regard each other rs COM
panions OF the life to come, AMI deride the
power of any separation which this world can
effect. They look with contemptuous pity
upon the miserable expedlent for union after
death to which worldlings resort, the lay ng
up of their bones in costly vault, thus max:
ing mockery Of home in q disgusting assem-
blage of mouldering skeletons. Being one IN
spirit whether in the same grave or with
half the world between. they are still in un-
ion.-[R. w. EVANS.

FEEDING DRY COWS.

A dry COW should be fedwell enough
to keep her in a good condition, but
not 30 well as to make ner fat. If the
calf is not expected for three months
it may be necessary to keep up the
meal feeding, reducing the ration one
half or three-fourths, remembering
that exposure to cold calls for some
extra food to maintain a healthful con-
dition, and that it would not there
fore be advisable to stop the grain
food altogether. This must be left to
the individual judgment, keeping the
cow in good flesh, but not fat. All the
hay or ensilage the COW will consume
without waste, and, if hay is only fed,
two quarts of cornmeal day will be
safe to feed. It is not to be forgot
ten that the condition of the calf de-
pends greatly on that of the COW, and
that this will suffer before the cow
does if the food is not sufficient to
maintain both in good health. And
the better the feeding, 80 that it isnot
excessive, the better the COW will milk
after the calf is dropped.-Naw York
Times. "
