BERKELEY,

A number of the public school teachers
have for some time past been at loss to
know whether residence at Berkeley would
be required by the new board in order that
they might hold their positions in the
schools. President Boone of the Board of
Education said yesterday that the talk of
requiring residence was going on more
outside of the board than among its mem
bers and that as long as the teachers are
at their posts of duty promptly on time it
made no difference to the taxpayers where
they lived or how or where they spent their
money.
1t was argued by some of the citizens
that if the teachers earned their money in
Berkeley they should at least board there,
and thus assist in keeping up the hotels
and boarding-houses, but Mr.. Boone says
that 'such rule would entail real hard
ship on some of the best teachers, and that
by its enforcement two of the most efficient
in the department would be forced to re-
sign.
ITO insist upon these teachers who re-
ceive monthly salary of $50 co. paying $50
for board in Berkeley besides the cost of
exorbitant rates at which they discount
their warrants, would be more than in

Instructor in Latin.
Clifton Price, a graduate of Cornell Uni
versity, has been secured to fill the posi-
ton of instructor in Latin at the Univer-
sity of California, recently made vacant by
the resignation of Leon G. Richardson,
who is at present studying in Germany.
After teaching at Wooster University,
Ohio, for four years Mr.. Price entered Yale
in 1898 as a graduate student, and in the
absence of Professor Peck he was ap-
pointed temporary instructor in Latin,
which position he filled until his call TO
California. He is expected to arrive here
about August II.

Some Queer Customs Among the Rus
sian Peasants.

Some Queer Customs Among the Rus
sian Peasants.
There is but little demand for detectives
in some parts of Russia. Not that the citi-
zens in those parts are specially noted for
the observance of the cardinal command
ments. The Russian peasant has many
excellent characteristics. He is muscular,
hardened, courageous, willing to obey; he
can stand all the hardships of climate and
labor, and the greatest deprivations. He is
also naturally kind-hearted, hospitable and
readily contented with the coarsest food
and the plainest log hut.
But there is also dark side to his char
acter. He will indulge from time to time
in short sprees, when he exhibits uncon-
trollable levity, sensuality and an insati-
able thirst for spirituous liquors. And these
moral defects are crowned with the deepest
ignorance and superstition.
In some of the rural districts the latter
forms part of the life Of the Mushik. He
of the charlatan and the ridiculous tradi-
tons of his Locality than to sensible DELHI
| Grafton or the results of experience.
In his farm labors of seedtime and har-
vest, of blowing and hay-cutting and other
tasks, he is not ruled by the nature of the
soil or climatic conditions, but follows GER
tain days of his church calendar. He never
commences I'll Important JoO Oh al un-
| lucky day, and there are great many I'M
lucky days in the Russian almanac.
The belief in sorcerers and witches is
still in full bloom there. In casualties or
sickness with man or beast the Russian
farmer knows but one oracle-the wise old
Mushik of the town, who is accredited with
supernatural gifts. He ascribes even to
himself and family certain magic power,
| acquired by strict observance of ancient
customs and ceremonies.
Most original are the means he EMPLOYS
| to catch thief suspected of belonging to
the family circle. If anything has been
stolen which conveys the thought of a
masculine thief he locks all the male men,

tub of black SCOT, turned loose in the
| dark room and the door is kept locked for
quarter of an hour or more.

DEATH TO GRASSHOPPERS,
Their Appearance Need Nc
Longer Cause the Least
Apprehension.
1t Was Thoroughly Tested and 1t
Let Not One OF the Pests
Escape.

Salvation is in sight for the grasshopper
plagued ranches. A remedy for the pest
has been discovered that means their swift
and certain destruction. 1t is cheap in
cost, simple in its composition and easy of
application. Its history and value is best
told in the words of P. G. Rossi, president
of the Italian-Swiss Agricultural Colony at
Asti, Sonoma County, who in an interview
yesterday said:
"About four days ago I was informed
that the grasshoppers were eating the crops
and seriously damaging the vineyards in
our colony and also those in our vicinity.
.Inasmuch as we had similar experience
ten years ago we at once prepared to use
the same means to check their ravages
that had then been used and which is the
only one that has so far proved successful.
At the time mentioned the grasshoppers
ate more than forty acres of vines.
1.-THE poison we used at that time was a
composition of:
35 pounds of middlings.
25 pounds of bran.
% pounds of arsenic.
! gallon of water.
3 gallons of molasses.
''This must be thoroughly mixed SO that
every particle of bran and middlings re-
ceive portion of the arsenic.
1.-THE mixture is applied by putting a
tablespoonful of it at the foot of each vine.
The grasshoppers. before reaching the
leaves, are attracted by the smell of the
mixture and will eat it in preference to
the leaves, and in very short time the
ground will be found covered with dead
hoppers.
tine grasshoppers generally travel in a
straight line and eat the vines in rows, so
that if the poison is applied on three or
four rows Of the vines, near the fences and
near the roads, those three or four pro-
tected rows will prevent the spread of the
pests into the body of the vineyard.
Last Monday 1 sent up forty sacks of
the mixture and the same was imme-
diately applied. To-day had the pleas
ure of receiving letter from the superin-
tendent informing me that the grasshop-
pers are being rapidly killed in large num-
bers, and that the mixture had again
proved thoroughly effective.
II would suggest that every ranch
owner in the State be prepared to imme-
diately apply the mixture as soon as the
grasshoppers appear"

hauling dirt and rubbish. The animal has

The other day the horse bit small bow,
and policeman recalled to Nick's driver
that he had before been ordered to muzzle
the horse. "Now, if that horse amt muz-
zled tomorrow I'll pinch yer" said the
officer. Nothing more was thought of it
until the next day, when the owner saw
the policeman shutting. along up the
street, and quickly hanging an old coal
scuttle on the horses head he made it
answer for muzzle, and saved himself
