Budd's Discourse.

. . 1buOu'S DISCOURSE.
The Pioneer Press says of the recent
lecture of Budd Reeve, in st. Paul:
Mr.. Reeves subject was "Roots and
Other Things" but those who went pre-
pared to hear a lecture ON the cultivation
of rutabagas or other tubers were disap-
pointed. Mr.. Reeves roots were the first
principles of philosophy, and his "other
things"-well, they were simply other
things; but they were all good, and the
lecture evinced a depth of thought and
sense Of humor that was altogether de-
lightful. The lecturer said quaint things
in a quaint way. He was not pedantic,
his diction was good, his delivery excellent
and his humor keen yet refined. AND he
went to the bottom of things. Evolution
he scorned; the Darwinian idea might be
all right, he said, but If nature had started
in on such a good thing as making men out
of monkeys why did she stop with such a
lot of good material on hand. Perhaps
there might be something in evolution, but
in our time nobody had seen a monkey dis
card his tail, unless it was pulled or
pinched off. I'm modern times no monkey
has shed a tail or a tear"
He thought pretty we'll of the religion Of
the Seventh Day Adventists for it demon
strated that the man who built it anew a.
good thing. 1t has the peculiar advantage
of giving the overworked hired girl two
Sundays a week..

Prairie Eyesight

Prairie Eyesight.
An ~occulist practicing his profession
in .he state, says his observation is that
eight out Of ten persons have some kind
of defect in eyesight, and that this is
especially the case with residents of a
prairie country, remarks the jamestown
Alert. There are several causes for this.
the binding snow plains, the heat, the
intense light, and the vast extent of land
and sky which the eye attempts to OBJ
serve may, more than all, cause an I'M
conscious strain on the muscles and
nerves of the eye affecting the sight.
There is said to be a smaller percentage
of persons with defective vision in
wooded and broken regions than in the
open prairie. The occulist further states
that certain changes seem to be going on
in the eyes of persons who have long been
residents of a prairie country. The organ
is apparently endeavoring to enlarge
it's range of vision and modify it's powers
of sight to suit the needs of it's pos.
SCISSOR. The wonderful, even marvellous
powers of vision of certain birds that
hunt their prey at night, show to what
extent the eye can adapt itself to the
necessities Of it's owner. A housing
owl can discern in darkness small OBJ.
jects many yards distant concealed in
grass and leaves-a faculty Of q most ex-
traordlnary character compared with the
powers of the keenest human eye. A
hawk in daylight shows almost equally
wonderful feats of vision. This faculty
has been, of course. slowly developed in
ages Of bird life, and the observations of
the occulist in the apparently uncon-
scious notifications of the human eye
for purposes Of use to it's owner is of spe-
cial scientific interest to a dweller in the
vast open.

The Catholic Fair.

The Catholic Fair.
Notwithstanding le intense cold, the
Catholic fair attracted a large crowd in
its opening Thursday eve. 1t was in
tended originally to hold the fair at the
Atheneum, but, owing to The weather, it
was decided that it was wisest to change
the original plans, and hold it in the
%store-room at the corner of Main and
Fourth streets. The building is quite
large and has been lately arranged. In
the rear, the ladies have arranged a
kitchen, where delicious edlbles of all
kinds are prepared and served, at several
tables, Which are we'll p~atronized. All
day yesterday the ladies were busy pre-.
pairing the room and arranging their
booths, and last night a pretty sight was
presented. On one side Of the room,
midway between the front and rear Of
the room, is the largest booth, where
fancy articles of all kinds are disposed
OF. This includes pin-cushions, tides,
quilts, lambrequins, lamp.shades, en-
broidered work of all kinds, table-mats,
and all descriptions OF neat and pretty
articles in this line. In other arts of
the room are other and smaller booths,
whore other articles and wares are dis
posed of. The ladies make energetic,
and at the same time charming sales
women, and do a thriving business.
Three voting contests are on, one be-
tween the Misses Lulu Ryan and Katie
Cunningham, for a handsome gold watch.
Another between Mrs. J. W. Herbert and
Mrs. P. Kelly, for a set of china table,
ware, and the third between Miss Helen
Hughes and Mabel Tatley, for an n
nous wax doll almost as large as either
of the contestants. The voting is spirited
and active, and the rival contestants are
busy.

Most OF the yeasts, molds and bacteria

application of the method of fermenting
with pure yeasts depends on the fact that
they are put into the must in full activity.
In this way they take complete possession

THE POLICE TO PRACTICE
Magnificent Shooting Range
for the Force in the
City Hall.
Several Gold Medals VIII Be Offered
as Prizes as an Incentive to
the Men.

Through the energy of Police Captain
Whitman q magnificent range for revolver
practice has been established in the
Larkin-street basement of the City Hall
1t has been pet project with him, and all
the arrangements have been made under
his personal supervision.
In 1881 two targets were purchased BY
the department and range was fixed up
in quarry on Telegraph Hill. Practice
was carried On there for some years, till
blasting operations put stop TO it. The
targets wee loaned TO Captain L. Siebe OF
Shell Mound PARK, and Captain Whitman
took possession of them two or three weeks
ago.
The City Hall range is $50 feet in length.
The two targets face TO the south and are
built in q bulkhead Of two-inch planks. one
foot apart, the vacant space being filed in
with sand and cindeTs. The bulkhead is
painted black ana the targets white. with
the exception. OF course, OF the bullseves.
Along the roof. about six feet in front OF
the target. is row OF lights with rehectors,
which throw food OF light upon the tar
gets. Along the walls at each side is a
row OF lights with rehectors, and ct the
firing point there is a row OF lights along
the roof with reieeEors, similar to those in
front OF the targets.
Z,
en- the edge OF which, facing the target, IS
a guard The serseant's desk and seats
and tables fer the men on which 10 clean
their weapons are on the platform. Two
electric buttons are within reach OF the
sergeant which communicate with bell
where each OF the target markers stand,
between whom code of signals has been
arranged. The target markers stand
within an arehway at each side OF the tar
gets, and when q shot is fred they thrust
out disk on 3 long pole and place 1t on
the spot where the bullet struck.
Each squad fer revolver practice will
consist OF twenty -four men, in charge OF a
sergeant. They viii be known as that ser
geant's squad, and il is expected from the
great interest taken BY the men in the
range that there viii be keen rivalry
among the squads. This afternoon at 5
O'Clock Sergeant Birdsalfs squad will open
the firing, which viii continue for an hour.
Captain Whitman has offered q gold
medal annually 10 the man in Company A
who has shown the greatest improvement
in shooting. Colonel Beaver OF the Bank
OF California VIII give gold medal annu-
ally 10 the best shot in the department,
and Captain Siebe will give gold medal
annually 10 the man making the best score
in rapid firing with pocket pistols 1t is
expected that others will come forward

Rev. DR.. Clarke on the Troubles of
Work In the Home Missionary
Fields.

Rev. J. B. Clarke, DID,, senior secretary
of the Congregational Home Missionary
Board, addressed the Congregational Min
listers Club on Monday on lnter-denominx-
tional comfy. He had incorporated in
his paper some Of his experiences while in
Office and the figures when his official
position enabled him 10 secure.
Presbyterians, ne said, are the only peo-
pie with whom the Congregatienalists can
affiliate in anything ike satisfactory
manner, ano even with them there is often
much i'll feeling provoked. It'll the policy
OF both churches, but particularly Of the
Congregational, he said. 10 cooperate in
all things possible, and IN accordance with
this idea compact had been entered into
between the governing bodies of these two
denominations by which i was agreed
that they would not interfere with each
other in the missionary fields. By this
compact 1t was also agreed that any points
of difference arising should be referred
first TO the local board, and falling of s
solution there 10 the governing bodies of
the two denominations.
There has arisen two questions under
this arrangement. and one of these, Dr..
Clarke said, has imperiIed the existence of
the compact. 1t arose over the rights OF
the churches TO the spiritual possession OF
little railroad hamlet OF 200 inhabitants
in South Dakota
The figures presented by the speaker
showed that there are 2100 Congregational
churches in the United States supported
by the Home Missionary Society. OF these
133 are in the same Held with Presby-
terrain churches, but thew get along very
well together. In a great many OF the
other cases the CONGREGATIONAL church is
the only one in the field, and in many OF
the fields which are shared with other de-
nominations the Congregational churches
were the first upon the gfonnd.
In conclusion DR.. Clarke declared il TO
be the fundamental principle OF the work
OF the Missionary Society that no field Oc-
eupieo by any other evangelical church
should be interfered With. The society is
willing 10 plant churches wherever neees-
sary, but it viii not jeopardize the exist
ence OF any other evangelical church
which has claims prior 70 its own.
Several missionaries were present st the
meeting or the Presbyterian Ministers
Club yesterday morning. Mrs Peoples OF
Siam and Miss Babbitf, formerly of India
spoke OF their work. They stated that the
missions an the Indies need more money,
as the work is growing Tar beyond the
limits which the allowances contsm plates
1t was announced that the Presbyterian
