The statistics by the Department OF
Agriculture at Washington show that
during the nine months Of 1894, end.
ing September 30. the farmers and
stock raisers of the United States
have exported to Great Britain more
than 100000 head of beef cattle Of a
value OF over S16,0OO.OOO.
To conceal his bald head, ex-Vice
President Morton wears four wigs {,
month. They are graded with such
scientific accuracy that each one is a
shade longer than it's predecessor.
To the general eye it appears that
Mr.. Morton's hair begins to grow on
the first of the month.
Here is an example of how easy it
is to break New Years resolutions:
Twelve young ladies met on the
first day OF 1894 and vowed never to
marry. Nine were married before
seven months, and two others have
breach of promise suits on hand.
The other one is dead.
An irrepressible female is canvass
ing in neighboring cities selling pants
buttons. She Snaps one of her but
tons on the pants of a married man
and he is then compelled to buy Il
box in order to explain to his wife
chow he got that button In some
instances she will clip off two or three
buttons, and the vi ctim is then COM
PEELED to buy box or go around
holding up his pants.

Tho Fruit OF Resolution.

No man ever gathered a harvest
from his field who had not first re-
solved to gather one. No man ever
won victory or conquered an enemy
whose success was not the result of
resolution and planning. No man
ever accomplished better things who
did not first resolve and attempt bet
ter things. Shall we form good reso-
lutions for the new year?' Certainly
il we would render better service in
the future than in the past.--United
Presbyterian.

Inappropriate.

A rather funny thing occurred at
the close of lecture last week, says
the Bakersfield Californian. The
speaker had just closed d remarkably
ingenious appeal for financial sup
port of temperance w ork, and an
nounced that the choir would sing the
remaining number of the program
while the collection was being taken
up. But the musical selection had
suddenly to be changed, for the only
song left that the choir had practiced
was, "have Courage My Boy to Say
No" and it was too inappropriate.

Why No Provision Was Made for Them
In Paving Pike street.

There has been a good deal of talk In
certain quarters concerning the neglect
OF the city TO make any provision for con-
duits IA the paving OF Pike street. 10 ac-
commodate the telegraph and telephone
wires whenever the underground system
shall be deemed advisable. When City
Engineer Thomson was seen yesterday
regarding this matter he said
zone reason Why no provis on was made
by the city Tor conduits was that there is
no money available for the increased cost
the arrangement would have made neces-
sdry, and another reason was that Il IS
believed that the sidewalks Will afford
ample and sufficient room 10 accomnO-
date the underground wires Whenever the
system shall be deemed advisable by the
Csty. You see the sidewalks are only team
poraFy affairs anyway. and the under
ground wires can be put under the walks
without any trouble whatever and at
small cost. BY making no provision a,
the present In the pavement Of the street
for underground wires the city has saved
money. ana still the system can ~,
adopted at no Increased cost when the
time comes"
