The barn of Landlord T. d. Goodell of
Readsboro was burned Friday. Five min
utes after the fire was discovered on the
floor above the basement the fire depart
ment was throwing four streams upon it,
but it was impossible to save any of the
building above the basement. Two horses
eight harnesses, two seated wagon and
large quantity of hay and grain was burn
ed. The loss exceeds $1,000. The barn
was insured but there was no insurance on
the contents. There is suspicion that
the fire was of incendiary origin.

week Thursday. They were married at
North Adams by Rev. Mr.. Penney, pas

DIAMOND HEAD, Jan. 4, 10 PM
Weather, cloudy; wind, fresh E.
The P. M. S. S. City of Picking,
Commander Searle, was locked at

evening, II days from Yokohama.
She left Hongkong December 18th,
and sailed from Yokohama on the

r. & L. Co.'s wharf, will load sugar
for San Francisco at the Kinau
wharf next week, after the sailing
of the barkentine S. G. Wilder.
The steamer G. r. Bishop left
yesterday afternoon for Kahuku.
The steamer Hawaii arrived yes
terday afternoon from Hamakua,
and reported that it was raining
and blowing along that coast when
she left for Honolulu. The steamer
Kilauea Hou could not load at
Honomu, and was compelled to
seek shelter at IIilo on Wednes-
day.
The steamer Hawaii brought
yesterday 6414 bags sugar for the
steamer Australia.
Soap suds may supersede oil as
the agency in calming troubled
waters of the sea and saving YES
sells from harm. Experiments have
been made recently, and the re-
ports of cooperating observers to
the photographic office uniformly
commend the value Of the new dis
covery. The German steamship
Scandal, from Hamburg to Phila-
delphia, made the experiment with
the greatest success in one OF the
widest storms that ever swept the
North Atlantic ocean. While the
sea was running highest, soap suds
were left to gradually drip over the
vessels bow. The sea ceased to
break over her decks, and the YES
sci lay comparatively easy. Third
officer Wendt had charge Of the
experiment, and his report speaks
glowingly of the success attending
it. The use of soap suds is not in
tended to entirely displace oil, but,
being cheaper, heavier on the
water, and the soap occupying less
space on the ship, it is likely, be-
fore long, to be generally adopted.

SIMPLE MEANS.

Tho Novel Implement Used to Remove
Gas from a Well.
A good workman likes good tools
but in an eXigency he can get along
with very simple and homely contriv-
ances. The ST. Louis Globe Democrat
cites striking example.
A well was 70 be cleaned but the
man who had undertaken the job was
afraid to go down until he had tested
the quality of the air at the bottom
He let down lighted candle and wher
II was about ST., feet from the bottom IL
went out as suddenly as II Whit OF
wind had struck It.
That told the man all he needed TO
know. The well was full Of poisonous
gas. lie took small umbrella, tied a
string TO the handle and lowered II
,oHen into The well. Then he drew Il
.gp, carried il few feet from the well
.ond upset IL. This operation he re,
pcated twenty or thirty times, with
the by standers, who are never absent
on such occasions, all laughing at him
After this he let doen another car
die. 1t burned clearly even at the DO,
tom. Before going down to his wor
he explained to those who had beer
making fun OF him that the gas IN The
well was carbonic acid gas, which /.
heavier than air, aud therefore could
be drawn mp in an umbrella us ii il had
been 50 much water

The Mid Winter Fair

The Mid-Wintor Fair at San Francisco
will soon be opening. The management
have very carefully selected the best OF
the Worlds Fair exhibits 20 that those
who were unfortunate in not seeing the
Chicago Exposition will still have an
opportunity to inspect the far foreign
exhibits Mt San Francisco. The Rio
Grande Western Railway in line with
its usual progressive spirit will, in con
nection with tie So. Pac. 90. put in
effect low round trip rate during the
existence of the Mid-Winter Fair. The
X. q. w. Ry. as you know runs through
San Francisco without change both

IT is to be hoped that the city marshal
will not iniorce all of section 1855 OF the
revised ordinance. The heading OF the
section is Dropping Grave on Streets"
and reads as follows: Every person who
shall haul or transport through any OF
the streets, alleys or public grounds OF
this city, any gravel, stone, olfal, manure
or rubbish, many wagon or other means
OF conveyance 80 constructed that such
gravel, stone, offal, manure or rubbish
drops or in any other manner is strewn,
or deposited on any of said streets, alleys
or grounds is guilty of an offence, and
upon CONVICTION thereof shall be liable to
= fine in any sum not exceeding twenty
five dollars, or to be imprisoned in the
city Jail not exceeding twenty-five days
or TO both fine and imprisonment.
As regards ground the fine should be
reversed and the city should be made to
pay afine to any person who will scatter
gravel on our streets, for they surely
need itbadly. Comment is not necessary
al can see the righteousness of such
thing in the ordinances Of our city.

Notice to Inventors.

There was never q time IN the history
Of onr country when the demand for
inventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was 70 great as
now. The conveniences OF mankind in
the factory and workshop, the house
hold, on the farm, and in official life,
require continual sccessions to the APP
performances and implements OF each in
order to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
ton of government does not affect the
progress OF the American inventor, who
being on the alert, and ready to per
cciye the existing deficiencies, does not
permit tie affair of government to deter
him nom quickly cOnceiving the remedy
70 overcome existing discrepancies. Too
great care can not be exercised in choos
ing a competent and skilliul attorney to
prepare and prosecute an application Tor
patent. Valuable interests have been
lost and destroyed in innumerable in
stances by the employment OF incompe-
tent counsel, and especially is this adyict
applicable to those who adopt the M
patent, no pay" system. Inventorswho
entrust their business to this class OF
attorneys do so at imminent risk, ms tho
breadth and strength OF the patent Is

Bowers on Sugar.

a. In recent speech in the House, Con
gresham Bowers said
"Ii this Congress and the succeeding
Congresses will not shamelessly violate

tered into with their citizens in regard
TO this matter, then in ten years the
State OF California alone will save the
country over $40 900, 900 each year, now
paid foreign countries in buying sugar.
The factory at Chino, which is in my
district, last year produced 10000, GOO
pounds of fine granulated sugar. The
factory at Watsonville produced some =
thing more than that. I.wish that timo

What Push VIII do.

The reason why some towns grow is
because there are some men of push and
energy in them, who are not afraid to
spend their time and money TO boom
their town, says an exchange. They
erect substantial buildings, organize
stock companies and establish factories !;
secure railroads, work for public improve
nents and use every means in their power
TO induce people to locate in their town.
Wherever they go they tell OF the advan-
tagc Of their city, they write about it in
every letter, they send circulars aud news
papers to all whom they think they can
induce to visit the city; and when any.
o1e visits them they treat him so kindly
that he falls in with them and their city
at once. 1t is enterprise and everyone's
pulling together that makes a progressive
city, and don't let the fact escape your
memory.-Ex.

People Who become Confirmed Smokers
Live Ten Years ON an Average.
"Seven-teuths Of the people OF China
are opium smokers, and two millions
of them die annually from its effects, f."
said n Chinese missionary recently
who has spent twenty-five years of his
life in the Flowery Kingdom.
This habit is rapidly growing" he
went on. ut is confined to no class or
sex, but men and women, officials and
coolies, use IL alike. As soon as opium
smoking becomes confirmed habit
with n Chinese coolic he knows that
he has about ten years to live. That
seems 10 be the average. consider It
easier TO reform sot in the gutter,
one Of your lowest type of drunlSards,
than an opium smoker. Place them
behind iron bars, il you like, and after
being imprisoned short time they be-
gin TO beg and plead for opium. They
rave like maniacs and their suffcrings
are terrible to behold. They act like
wild men.
The opium vice is running China.
The people know it and the govern
ment knows it, but they take no nc-
tion. In twenty-five years it has in
creased fifty per cent. Fertile fields
that were once used in the cultivation
of rice are now growing the, opium
weed. The provinces in nArthern
China, whore the terrible famine =
CURED few years ago and where
thousanJs porished for want. OF food.
had been for years given over to the
production of opium instead OF food
grains. When food was short the peo-
pie found they could not live on opium,
so they starved to death.
"A parallel to the suffering during
that famine is hardly equaled bu<Nny
event in the history of the &. Ssl.
Human beings died in the st$'ysy OF
villages aud on the roads. :, N,Soplc
turned cnnnibals. Some dug mp roots
and Others were found on the roadside
where they had died biting the bari, off
the trees. Tho dead were not buried,
for the living had all they could do TO
take care OF themselves.
"Now to-day rice is one-third higher
in price than IL was score OF years
ago, because the crop has fallen off.
Opium shops are everywhere. You
may be travelling along with your chair

he will put you down and leave YOU
