The Gopher Plant.

When travellers crossed the plains
at the time when the Pacific rail.
roads were first built, beautiful
plant called Euphorbia albo.margin.
alta used to come up frequently along
the railroad tracks, which the labor.
ers believed to grow from seed that
had been waiting there to sprout
since the food. They called it "Snow
on the Mountain" because the bracts
under the flowers, such as we see In
Poinsetta and other euphorbiaceous
plants, were striped with white
among the green. 1t Is now stated
in California circles that where this
plant grows gophers will receive no.
tice to quit. 1t Is remarkable that 1t
Is said OF another euphorbiaceous
plant, the castor-oil plant, that where
1t Is grown moles will never appear.
No one has put great faith in this
statement, but that two plants Of the
same family should be watched by
two classes OF observers, wholly in
dependent of each other, and be re.
ported to have exactly the same
effect on destructive rodents, indi.
Gates that there must be something
certain to bring about the like con-
clusions.-[St. Louis Globe.Demo'

Young Eddy, when he saw his sled
empty, let 90 his hold upon his oxen

haustion; but almost Immediately he
sprang to his feet again in horror.
The worst danger they had been In

one OF their former pursuers, or an
entirely new conner. had uttered his

heads.
They were in q narrow opening,

where there was a sheer descent Of
sixty feet, with a rise Of twenty feet
Of broken rock above them. Moth.

until the sled grated over the ledge.

There IL terror among tho people
living on Mud Bay Point, caused by
the roaming through that country Of
q drove Of wild hogs. There are q
dozen or two Of the beasts. They
have been breeding there for about
seven years, becoming wilder all the
time, but not until the last two
months have they made themselves
dangerous.
They are Of Q large.boned variety
and have grown to an enormous
height. They also have tusks. They
live mostly on the skunk cabbage
growing in the swamps, but as this
provender has run low they have be.
como further enraged with hunger
and are seeking other food.
Only q few days ago they took
after q fieet-footed pony and ran him
down, killing him almost instantly.
The residents Of the Point have found
1t necessary to keep their strck
within doors. Occasionally, however,
an animal has become loose and lost
It's life by the attacks Of the boars.
Nobody in the neighborhood dares
60 out after night, and extreme eau
ton Is exercised when out Of doors
during daylight.
A number Of expert riders and
marksmen living In Olympia are con.
templating the formation Of q COM
pany to engage In o wild boar hunt

that the fierce drove will be exter-
minated. The people living there do
not feel equal to the task alone

the doomed oxen; and, "Oh, see
The poor thing is dragging his mate ="
in o sweet, girlish voice. But soon
the poor fellow was left far behind,
and when they heard the next scream
from the panthers, an agonized below
followed, telling OF the fate Of the
oxen.
For q while all believed themselves
free from the panthers, and the oxen
which were drawing them evidently
shared their belief, for they showed

might be slowed up sufficiently to
allow them to Jump of. They began
to take an interest in young Eddy's
efforts to stop his oxen, and noticed
that Waldo was not ahead OF them.
Thay saw that Eddy was redoubling
his efforts to slacken up, with q Wig.

"OlD GLORY"

How Artist Grafton Proposes to Rearrange
1t, Stars.
There Is likelihood that the Unit
ed States Government may adopt q
new national banner in the not dis
tant future, in which the stars, SYM
bolic of the various States, will be
differently arranged than at present
Mr.. E. d. Grafton, the well-known
artist, whose reputation is national,
has had in hand for some time Sc
ries of suggestions in the better ar
rangement Of the stars In the ma
tional flag. He proposes to give an
honored position to the thirteen orig
inal States by means Of a circle or
wreath of stars Of increased size oc-
cupying the central portion Of the
blue field OF that part Of the flag,
known as the union His designs,
embodying from forty-four to forty
nine States, inclusive, are well con-
ceived and compactly drawn, with no
scattering star. 1t Is not unlikely
that the ideas here developed by the
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1894-11-01
The Difference.

King Victor Emmanuel used often
to tire before the termination OF a
days sport, and mules and horses be-
ing out of the question In the precip-
itous mountain paths, he would
mount on the back OF his chief hunts
man, an Alpine Hercules, named
Borretta. One day Borretta, having
the king on his back, was crossing a
torrent. The king having raised his
foot to avoid his gaiter being wetted.
the sudden movement. almost caL-
sized Borretta. Unmindful for a
moment of the rank OF his burden he
growled out: "Tente au, bouric"
("Hold steady, you jacka's"). Without
manifesving the least irritation or
surprise, the king replied: "You
apparently ignore, friend Borretta,
that the jackass Is the one that car
ries the load" aud nothing more was
said about the matter.

Travelled all over England and a good
part Of Europe repairing chimneys,
earning large income most Of the
time, but spending 1t freely. In one
month recently he earned $500, but
only saved about quarter of 1t, the
remainder being spent foolisbly.
Mayman's nerve while engaged In his
perilous calling is something wonder
full. Some time ago he finished build
ing an addition to chimney owned
by the Smith Paper Com pany's mill,
near Boston. The chimney Is 1870
feet high. Several planks had been
drawn up and placed across the top
to hold material, and an iron rod had
been put through the top OF the
chimney. One Sunday afternoon
Mayman had been drinking, and
went to the top Of the chimney to
show how steady his nerve was. TAX
ing stout plank, he inserted one
end under the iron rod, letting the
other end project into the air about
eight feet. He first tried the plank
with his foot; then walked slowly to
the end, stopped, grasped the plank
with both hands, and stood on his
head at the extreme end. All the
spectators grew faint at the sight,
and most Of them turned away, be-
Ing unable to look at the terrifying
performance.

rOwed from one, the system OF police
from another; ono has contributed
the newspaper, and another the news
paper censorship, and so on through
the list Nor can It be said that the
systems are awkwardiy used, for the
natural cleverness Of the Japanese Is
such that they are able to discern
what parts ofrany given system are
suitable and what are unsuitable to
their own social andspOlitical needs,
and thus have made judicious Sc
lection, combining the pieces In such
a manner. as to produce a result
which, while not in every respect en-
tirely satisfactory, is yet great i'm
provement on the native original.
The effort to use Western institu-
tions In an Eastern fashion has, how
ever, been productive Of some curious
consequences The japanese have
newspapers, for instance, and such Is
the popularity of this occidental In
stituti0n that at present there are no
fewer than $50 newspapers and peri
odlcals, seventeen dailies In Toxic
alone, all the periodical press Of
japan having q combined circulation
of nearly 95, 600, 900 year. But the
native characters being still retained
in the papers, the publication of
japanese periodical Is attended with
diffiulties almost insurmountable.
There are perhaps 20, 0C0 characters
In the Chinese Geographic system in
Japan; of these over a, 900 are In daily
use: and the compositor must be pre-
pared to place In his Stick" any one
OF these 4, 900 types. AS 1t is a phys
ical impossibility for any man to have
1000 type in reach at one time,
number of boys are employed, the
COPY Is cut into takes" and handed
to them. There are forty-seven kama
syllables, used for connecting the
ideographs, and with these at
his table Che compositor waits
on the boys who are flying
to and fro among set of library
cases, where the type are placed, each
boy singing the sound OF the ideo-
graph of which he is in search. AS
he finds each he brings it to the COM
positor, and when all In bis "take"
are collected he returns the copy, re-
ceives another "take," and again sets
up his monotonOus sing-song cry.
After a galley has been set up, a
proof is taken and sent to two proof
readers, ore of whom says the copy
to the other. The office Is thus a
scene of continual TALK chant and
confusion. but she q Japanese are sat
