boyhood was spent in the forests Of
Oregon. His belief Is that If Christ
were to return to this earth He would
not live in great house in the roar
OF city, attended by servants-it
would be impossible for Him. He
would live near to Nature, would
serve Himself to be served by those
who loved Him. Miller believes that
the one positive law OF God to man
was this: @In the sweat Of thy face
shalt thou eat bread" He believes
that IL this law were absolutely car
ried out, all inequality, all grinding
toll, all the hurry and bitterness and
insecurity of life here on earth would
vanish.
He Is an indefatgable worker. He
took this piece Of land when it was
nothing but barren hillside, incredi-
bly, sterile and rocky. With the
work of his own hands he led the
water down from the canyon. He
has terraced the hillsides, built stone
walls, followed out trout ponds and
planted orchards Of olives and wal
nut trees. His habit is to drive
away at his writing in the forenoon,
while in the afternoon he works with
the man to whom he has given a
part Of his plough land In payment
for assistance in the other work about
the orchard. Thus it will be seen
he has much the same idea expressed
by TolstOi as he walks behind his
Russian harrow.

MID FRUIT TREES AND ROSES.

The Poet a. the sIerrns Lives simply and
Close to Nature.
Near the summit OF the green hills
which half sinclose the city of Oak
land, on an eminence from which one
may look acros, the bay, with its
ferry boats shutting to and fro, upon
the Golden Gate of San Francisco,
and thence beyond where the white
sails shine upon the waters OF the
Pacific-there, In a garden spot OF
Nature. lives Joaquin Miller, the
quaint and simple poet Of the Sierras.
Hamlin Garland, the poet and au-
thor, has recently visited Miller, and
tells us many interesting things con-
corning the poet and his peculiar, yet
beautiful, habits OF life. His home
consists of series of four cottages,
In VIII CHI he lives with his aged
mother and brothers. The cottages
stand In the center of a terraced
fruit farm, with roses growing all
about them. and the eye of the poet
ever rests upon fruit trees, flowers,
the mountains on one side and the
valley and the waters on the other.
Miller believes In individual freedom
In living; he thinksmost families live
too close together, and so, instead of
one large house, he has built four lit
tie ones. In one lives his mother,
where all dine together. In another
he himself sleeps and writes; the
third Is for his brothers, and the
fourth for his guests. The doors of
his cottage are never shut, and the
air In the rooms Is as pure as that OF
the woods. The walls are covered
autograph letters, newspaper scraps,
and prints Of the faces of his friends
A saddle hangs In the corner, bear
skins and wolfskins cover the chairs
and lie on the floor as rugs.
Miller loves the woods and mount
aims. He was born in Indiana woods,
when a child made the overland
journey through the Rockies and his

IT is unfortunate for the British
editor that he should have opened
his ample columns to a controversy
on the relative size OF the feet OF
English and American women. He
was probably drawn into it by the
cunning of some of our fair danes,
maliciously anxious to call the worlds
attention to the "broad understand
ing" of the insular lady. Why, one
of our bellies could put both her
dainty little tootsie- wootsies into her
English sisters single slipper, and
still have room to move her pedal
digits comfortably. The tall and
willowy women whom Buine Jones
delighteth to paint have fat, fat and
pudgy feet, and they put them down
solidly on the moist soil of Old Eng
land; while the American beauty has
feet as dainty as those OF Cinderella,
and she could walk on roses without
crushing them.

A GRANDSON OF Gen. Hancock has
been rejected by the Examining
Board at West Point because he was
five pounds short OF the required
weight This may be according to
army regulations, but this is case
in which it were better il the law
were little more elastic. The young
man passed his examination In a
way highly creditable to himself. If
heredity goes for anything he is a
born soldier and there is certainly an
inspiration Ia the record of his an
cestry that should arouse his best en-
deavor. The scales do not weigh
courage, mentality or theinnatequal-
tiles Of the men who command as
well as fight. 1t is very doubtful If
Phil Sheridan could have entered
West Point had the same regulations
prevailed as now; but it would have
been a national calamity had he been
excluded. You can't tell how much

1t is a common habit with some
people Of really Clearly habits to take
a drink Of water on rising in the
morning, using for that purpose
water which has stood In the sleep
ing-room all night. The draught is
all right, but the person who drinks
water that has stood in sleeping
room for several hours is simply in
viting all sorts OF disorders to visit
him. Water Is one OF the ready alb
sorbents Of disease germs, and 1t
would be hazardous thing to drink
water that has stood in an open yes
sci out In the open air, to say moth
ing of that shut up in a sleeping
room with all sorts OF unhealthy ex-
halations being given of from the
body. Nor Is 1t well to drink water
that has stood for several hours in
the lead pipes-always let the water
run for few moments first

BUT should it APPEAR that the
Lyons assassination was but another
act in the drama of anarchy, France
may well be struck with panic.
What is to he done with fanatics who
fear death as little as they scruple to
inflict it upon others? Against the
French law lies no charge of undue
delay or leniency. Every bomb
thrower has gone speedily to the
guillotine, but each has died with
defiance upon his lips, and each has
had follower. In Spain, where. too
anarchy has been rife, the laws re-
venge has teen equally swift, m rel
less, and-fruitless Something other
than death sentences is needed to
check the spread of the conspiracy for
murder. Against men who care
nothing for life themselves the whole
enginery of the police and the law is
imrotent. II he be indeed an anarch-
ist Santos fate will probably deter
other mad assassins as little as
Ravachol's frightened valiant, or
Vaillants Henry. What shall be the
cure for anarchy? Most happily the
question is'one of little immediate
importance in these United States,
but in Europe, where the power Of
privilege has fuller sway, it is today
a vital problem and one not to be an-
swered with the gaillotine or the
parrOte.

ONE OF the best things about fair
is the opening it gives the entire
family for an outing together which
combines pleasure and profit. The
farmers wife is as much benefited by
the chInge as the farmer She en-
joys the talk over their common
tribulatons and experiences and goes
home with a new current Of thought
and new plans for home comfort.
Even the children wake up little
not as much as their parents, for
children are SO full Of life they do
not need stirring; but the cattle, the
prize vegetables, the needlework, and
all the exhibits have their influence
upon the young minds and make
farming seem more like business de-
serving respect Even the amuse-
ments serve good end, though the y
may have nothing to do with agricul-
ture pure and simple. In life, work
and play must be Joined to keep the
worker in vigor, and it is well that
some attention is paid at fairs to this
need of mankind To see a good
horse race hurts no man, and there is
something very stirring to the look
er ron, in such sight. When the
fair is secondary to the races it is a
mistake, but when the fair comes
first and the races second there can
be no reasonable objection to them.
