Coxey Deserts the Commonweal Army.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Coxey has
abandoned his fellows and gone back
to Ohio. He went out to the place
where they are encamped, just over
the Maryland border, Wednesday
night and gave the men to understand
that he could do nothing more for
them, as his affairs at Massillon would
require his presence for the next few
months. He advised the men in a
serious way to go into Washington
and beg. They would be arrested and
given food. Some of the other bands
who followed Frye and Calvin are

Water Too Much for an Arizona Mob.
Right in san francisco today lives a
mai who was a rlngleader of a mob in
Tucson that was foiled in a most peculiar
way in an attempt to lynch a prisoner who
VAS charged with numbering n prospeetor.
Court was IN session ut the time and the
prisoner was confined in a cell in the Tue
soncotrt house, through the main entrance
of which was the only way of access to the
Jail from the street. An adjournment had
been taken for the day, and, as it happened,
the only man left mt the court house was
the %iaflitor, Il slow, methodical old fellow
named Hand.
Rumors had been circulated for, several
days that in attempt would be made to
lynch the prisoner referred to, but as no
demonstrations had been made the sheriff
had grown careless, and had removed the
guard. Just about the dusk of the even
ing in question, the old %janitor, who was
enjoying Il smoke On the court house steps,
saw a mob approaching, and in an instant
rcalized its meaning, Slowly removing
his pipe from his mouth, he laid it care
fully aside and stepped into tho corridor of
TIE building.
a section of fire hose stood near, and de-
lilprately unreeling it, he screwed it onto
the hydrant and adjusted the nozzle. He
stood there in readiness. and when the
Lender of the mob reached the doorway he
turned the water on full force. Owing to
the great elevation of the reservoir the
pressure is enormous, and the stream us it
struck the leader staggered him. He hest
tated and turned to face his companions.
That settled it, and before they could re-
cover from their surprise every mar in the
mob was drencled from head to foot.
The stream seemed to increase in force
and volume, and one after another the
would be lynchers fled. III five minutes
not one of them could be seen in any direc-
ton, and when the sheriff put in an APP
rearance old Hand haul reeled UP the hose
and was again seated Oh the steps smoking
away as if nothing had happened an

When California was first settled by the
whites Immediately after the discovery of
gold, there was estimated at hat time to
be over sixty thousand Indians.
There were several large c%ampoodies on
the Consumes river, and an invasion Of
grasshoppers, which we look upon as a
calamity, to them was a veritable blessing.
| remember very well the great grass
hopper year." as it was called. 1t was in
1855. During the last of May and the first
Of June the entire counties of Sacramento
and San Joaquin were covered with locusts
or choppers" and nothing to equal it has
been Witnessed in the state since.
With the Digger Indians the grasshop-
pers are a great luxury, and are used as
meat and eaten in various ways. That
year Indians swarmed into the valleys
from the mountains and had a royal feast
for several weeks. Some would catch the
grasshoppers, thread them on a string,
hang them over the fire until done brown,
then eat them from the string the same as
children do popcorn.
Others would set the grass on fire, which
both disabled the choppers" and cooked
them, when they were picked up and eaten
or slowed away for future use. The most
popular way, however, when the "hoppers'
were thickest, was to dig a hole so deep
that they could not jump out, and driving
them to the center and into the receptacle
prepared for them.
In this circle, which sometimes covered
many acres, were all the women and chill.
dren in the camp. They carried n brush in
each hand and would drive the "hoppers''
without difficulty. When the drive was
over the "~hoppers'' were put in bags and
baskets, saturated with salt water and laid
to one side for use in winter. They are
eaten then as white people do shrimps,

Little Mildred, a sweet, golden haired
"tot" of six, had been taught to say,
Thank God for a good breakfast" or din.
ner or supper, as the case might be, after a
meal.
The other morning her parents, for good
and sufficient reasons, restricted her to oat.
meal for breakfast. When she had finished
she clasped her little hands and began,
THANK Godfor"-
Then the raspbcrries and the ham and
eggs and various other appeti2ing things
that she had not been allowed to partake
of attracted her attention. She paused for
a moment, and then letting her hands fall
to her side, while n look of deep detection
overshadowed her pretty face, she said;
"Oh, God, Use only had oatmeal foi
breakfast this morning. Amen"
Her mother, like most good and devout
mothers, has taught her that if she wants
anything and is a good girl and prays for
it she will be sure to get it. The other
night she overheard little Mildred praying
earnestly In her childish way for a veloci-
pede.
"'Cause you know, God" added the
child. in conclusion, "I'se been a good girl,
and mamma told mt that If | was a good
girl and asked You for anything you would
let me have it. Amen"
Now the mother is much perplexed be-
cause she doesn't want Mildred to have a
velocipede and at the same time she doesn't
want to shake her childish faith in the
efficacy of prayer,
think that it will end in Mildred's get
ting the velocipede. New York Herald.

Why the Typewriting Machine Is for Sale.
There is a young lawyer in this city who
does Il little literary work outside of his
profession, who got himself II typewriter
as an aid to his labors, and now he says
that he is on the verge of insanity. And he
lays it all to the typewriter. When he
first sat down to the machine, he says, he
thought that it would be an easy thing to
master it, but in Il few moments his hands
were going round in circles over it in vain
attempts to find the letter that he wanted.
That was only the beginning, however, for,
taking the matter up on a scientific basis,
he set forth to learn the exact location Of
all the keys.
By the end Of the first day every word
that he heard in conversation set him to
figuring out where each letter would be on
his keyboard-whether in the first row or
the second or the third, or on the left or
the right Of the middle line of the key
board. And then he would try to recall
what little disk he had to strike to make a
per cent. mark, and what for the dollar
sign, and what for quotation marks, and
what for a dozen other marks, each one Of

And at end Of two months of practice,
when he could strike off the words at q
rate that made the machine rattle and
was beginning to think that he was quite
an operator, he sat down for a little test.
He had a friend to read to him, and for
two minutes wrote with his pen. The re-
suit was thirty words for each minute,
written very legibly. Then he tackled the
typewriter. The machine made a great
racket, and he thought hat he must be
making a new record. When the second
two minutes were up the perspiration was
dropping from his brow. The count
showed to the credit of the second test just
forty words, and of them just nineteen
were spelled wrongly through the striking

A clock is to be seen at Brussels which
comes about Us near being a perpetual mo-
ton machine as can be invented, for the
sun does the winding. The following is
the method by which it works: A shaft
exposed to the solar rays causes an up
dranght Of air, which sets the fan in mo-
ton. The fan actuates mechanism which
raises the weight Of the clock until it
reaches the top, and then puts a break on
the fan till The weight has gone down a
little, when the fan is again liberated, and
proceeds to act as before. AS long as the
sun shines frequently enough, and the ma
chinery does not wear out, the clock will
keep in perpetual motion. -London Tit

There are incidents of Langtry's visits to
California which are Of interest and which
have never been published. 1t has been
said, and with truth, no doubt, that she
did many shrewd things in the way of adj
vertising. AT one time she rented a house
somewhere out in the Mission and tried to
make everybody believe she intended to
remain there until gathered to her fathers,
when she would be laid away in an elabor-
ate vault in Laurel Fill cemetery, or some
other city of the dead But it was all a
myth.
Then she bought some ground over in
Nevada, had a hole dug in it and called it
the -Langtry mine. Sam Davis, u well
known newspaper man, says he sold her
the ground for 500. She was in the statue
scene of Galatea in "Pygmalion and Gala
tea" and during the scene Davis was In
the wings. She dared not move a muscle.
He said in a low voice; as it a bargain for

of the schemethat she paid the money over

Always Boil Milk.

Housekeepers who purchase their milk
are urged to boil, the same rs soon as they
receive 1t, not only because it will keep
sweet longer, but because the process de-
stroys all disease germs, and, thereby, rem
ders 1t safe. The fact was long ago estab-
lished that milk is Il frequent medium for
the transmission Of disease, the germs of
which it has accidentally absorbed; also
that certain diseases occur in cows in con-
sequence of which their milk is tainted,
and may give rise to kindred diseases in
the consumer All dangers from these
sources are obviated by a thorough boil
ing.-Boston Herald.

tree once nearly on a line between two

1t was a white pine. The one then cut of
