The collection of works by California
authors at the library of the University Of
California is being constantly augment
ed, Already there are over 800 volumes,
mang very rare. and Librarian Rowel be-
lieves that when completed the collection
will be of priceless value. Any author
who spent a considerable portion of his
life in California or received his inspira-
ton from her romantic annals comes in
the category, even though he owed his
birth t. another state. as did John Vance
Cheney, or Bret Harte, or Joaquin Miller.
One of the gems OF this collection is the
first volume of joaquin MilIer--a very
small green book. on whose title page is
Cncinnatus II. Miller. The title is Joa-
quir and other Poems, from which the
Poet of the Sierras received his name

Professor II ilgard, the well-knowa head
OF the College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity OF California, is preparing some
decidedly new and interesting work on
which he will report at the Farmers, In
stitute to be held OF March 24th ut PERKS
ana Riverside. Samples Of soil about
Ferris have been sent to him, and he finds
they are very rich in phosphate, while
those OF Riverside are very deficient in
phosphate. But the startling doctrine
that he may proclaim, and which Will eX-
plain many OF the disastrous results in
some orchards IN the south, is that stable
manure must not b. used with CONNER
cial fertilizers, because they tend to de
compose each other sometimes resulting
i'll worse results than no fertilization.
This new doctrine is causing sensation
in Europe. where fertilization is a topic
of great importance to every rural dis
trict. Experiments that he is now max
ing are awaited with intense interes. by
the horticulturists of this state.

There is actually nothing in the
flesh of the dog that is distasteful or
repulsive. Lewis and Clark, the ex-
plorers, who learned it through COM
pulsion, actually became fond Of it in
time. A French paper says that the
number of dogs slaughtered at the
abatoirs in Paris has increased amaz-
ingly in the past few months. The
taste for dog flesh is said to have been
imported by Italian laborers, who
have recently come in large numbers
to the French capital. The meat is
used not as an adulterant for sausag-
es, but is eaten openly, under it's own
name, prepared in various ways.

SAD TALE OF TWO JOHNS

We regret that all is not harmony
in the ranks of our friends the spiri-
tualists. 1t gives US pain to learn that
two of their most brilliant and trust
ed mediums are almost at daggers
drawn.
The Light of Truth, Gan exponent of
the new philosophy, here and here
AFTER" published at Cincinnati, con-
tains a long and interesting letter
from one of these mediums, Mrs M.
T. Longley, denouncing the attempt
of the other medium, Mrs Smith, to
steal from her ''control." Mrs. Long
ley AYERS that for years her control
has been a great and glorious spirit
named Rev. John Pierpont. When
the lady left off her connection with
Banner of Light, Rev. Pierpont an
nounced that he broke off his connec
ton with the Banner of Light, too,
and followed his pet "mejie.''
But now comes Mrs. Smith and says
she, too, is controlled by Rev. John
Pierpont, and that he writes for the
Banner of Light same as he always
did. Thereupon Mrs. Longley decIar-
es, with all the emphasis Of which she
is capable, that Mrs. Smiths John is
not Rev. Pierpont at all, but another
John. AS earnest of her faith she
offers to hire h Ill and go before the
puplic in open contest with the Smith
lady to determine which is the genu-
inc John. If her John answers ques-
lions best and most eloquently, then
indeed is he the only Pierpont, but if
Smiths John beats the other in argu-
men then Smiths John is the man.
This is very interesting as opening up
a new phase in spiritualistic history.

WHY An EDITOR WENT FISHING.

An editor (and his "devil'O of a
small country paper in Michigan was
daily expecting a visit last month
from an angry advance agent with
whom they had gotten in snarl, and
who had written the editor that he
would Click him on sight" 1t hap

ed on an early morning train, and go
ing to the printing office, asked the
lank- looking boy if the I" Fighting edi-

was the terror that was to do 'em up.
He mumbled out something to the
effect that he Edidn't know anything
about it" and to the drummer's as
constituent, ran out of the Office and
up the street. After waiting two long
hours for the editor the landlord of
the hotel called at the printing Office
and in roundabout way inquired
upon what business he wanted to see
the editor. Upon being informed, the
landlord laughed heartily, stating the
boy had run to the EDITORS house, told
him the advance agent had come, that
he was as big as house and was fight
ing mad, whereupon the editor had
hurriedly gathered his fishing outfit
and gone a fishing, and would proba-
bly, not be back for several days.

A good story about a Tolstoyist
comes to us from Tifiis. The Tolstoy-
ist, Prokopenko by name, had some
business with the governor of Tif1is,
and presented himself at the chancery
dressed in the PEASANTS costume
which he habitually wears. The Off
Gals were simply amazed at the
"peasant's" temerity, and hunted him
unceremoniously out of the chancery.
In a few days he returned in the fine
attire of a gentleman, was politely re-
ceived by the officials, who, of course
did not recognize him,-and ushered
into the governors presence. Proko-
penko, like true Tolstoyist, seized
the opportunity of explaining to the
governor how absurd the whole mat
ter ought to look in the eyes of a SEN
ible man, of showing on what foun-
dation of folly all the business of ere
ceiving" rested. To the governors
credit, it must be added that he took
his lecture good humoredly, and told
his officials that Propenko at any rate,
was to have free access to him, even
when attired as peasant.

Mr.. Birkbeck Hill Can Oxonian), in
his recent book on Harvard College,
admits that nothing could surpass
the. grossness of the ignorance of
many of the English undergraduates
who may have come up, or rather,
have been kicked up, from the most
famous schools. Mr.. Hill says that
he used to hear one of the first mathe-
maticians of Oxford piteously lament
the fate which condemned him to try
to pound little arithmetic into the
heads of young men whose under
standings had been hopelessly disord-
cred or were congenitally feeble.
'sWhy, sir, do you not use your COM
mon sense?'' he one day asked, impa-
tiently, one of his pupils. 81 did not
know that common sense had anything
to do with arithmetic" was the reply.

Elton, was seen by his tutor adding up

''Why do you not do it by multiply
ing?' asked the tutor. 81 do not know
what you mean," the youth modestly
answered. When the process was
shown to him, and all the mystery of
the multiplication table was unveiled,
he was much taken with the extra

WHY NOTHING WAS DONE.-Mr.
Wilson gives the reason as follows :
/" The impotence Of Congress in deal
ing with financial legislation during
the session just ended was due to the
fact that under universal suffrage
Congress represents the people Of the
country. Congress is the mirror of
the peoples views. The people have
not made up their minds on the finan-
cial question, and Congress mirrors
the different shades of belief and
opinion." There is the truth in a
nutshell. Until the people get to-
gether they cannot expect those who
represent them to do so. AS in case
of the tariff we must have a cam.
paign of education on the money
question.
