Hence we conclude that there Is no SUCH
gulch on this coast. 1t is probably the re-
suit of brain hallucination among the CHI
cago Salvation army people, caused by the
diabolical weather which prevails there,
especially in the winter season. Out here
in Goods country the Salvationists are
level-headed, clear-minded, and in con-
slant touch with nature in her gentlest,
kindliest moods, And so are the people
generally.
In this connection we will add that the
Salvation army has become a powerful
factor in the United States for the propaga-
ton of Christianity. as it had previously
been, and still is, in Great Britain A few
years ago the demonstrations of the various
army corps of Salvationsts in the public
streets OF almost any town or city were
greeted with many signs of disapproval.
and in a few instances the peripatetic
preachers and drum-beaters were interfered
with by municipal authorities. More re-
Gently, however, the tone of public senti-
ment toward the religious army seems to
have undergone quite change. The Sal
walton army people are everywhere listened
to respec fully on the streets, allowed the
right of way to perform an indefinite num-
Der of marches, at any hour OF the day or
night which they may select, and can
preach, pray, shout and sing as loud as
they please without fear of interruption.
1t is generally believed that these sincere
and earnest people are doing considerable
good, though more by their quiet, unseen
work among the outcasts OF society than
by their noisy, grotesque demonstrations
in public.
1t is noticeable, also. that the churches
of almost every denomination. treat the
Salvation army people with profound re-
spect, and often invite them to hold SER
vices in the elegantly fitted-up houses of
worship which abound in modern COM
munities. These invitations are invariably
accepted, and on such occasions the high
salaried, genteel pastor welcomes into his
pulpit the plain, rough eXhorter in regula-
ton toggery. whose only pulpit is the pub
lie sidewalk, where he kueels every night
i'll humble prayer for the salvation of the
gaping crowd around him. This is
very fraternal, and Christian'lke

might be raised as to why the heightened

to any one who will peruse an article de-
scriptive of the situation in the hospital,
published elsewhere in this issue of The
HERALD.
That the experimenting physician is not
supposed to use the maternity ward, or for
that matter any other part of the hospital
for residential purposes. is plainly evil
denced by the fact that he is allowed 500
per month more by the county than the
salary paid the official of similar rank at
the county poor farm, who is supposed to
reside in the institution he has the care of.
The difference OF $50 was expressly made
physician of the hospital could provide his
own residence. And he should be made to
do the latter without delay.
The power of compelling the doctor to do
what in decency, humanity and self-respect
he should do voluntarily, rests with the
board of supervisors. That at least one
member of that board has taken cogniz-
ance of Dr. Barbsr's improper ac-
ton in using a public institution,
and the most important part of
it, as a family residence when he is in re-
ceipt of a monthly compensation which is
intended to cover the expense of home

duced few days since by Supervisor
Hanley, reducing the superintendent sal
airy by fifty dollars.

right, but we beg to suggest that his move

"HOwLINd GULCH'' AND THE SALVATION
AR1Y

THE Chicago Daily Sun, a paper that has
been published by the same proprietor for
nearly twenty-eight years without telling a
lie, prints an announcement of some Sal
walton army meetings in the
city of high buildings and high
winds, with these startling words
"A school marin from Wigglefost
Hall, Howling Gulch, California, will speak
tonight and tomorrow night. Her subject
will be, 'One Thousand and One on a
Spree. y
Evidently the horrible climate of Chicago
is demoralizing even the Salvation army
people, and they are generally a hegltby,
robust class of men and women.
IL that climate affects such persons so as
to unbalance their minds, what will be-
come of Chicago's average citizen? We
trembe for his safety and happiness.
Since reading the above startling announce
ment we have tried to locate "Howling
Gulch.' but in vain. 1t is not displayed on
any authentic map of California, nor men,
toned in any work descriptive of the state.

THAT PATERNITY WARD

DIR. Barber, experimenting physician of
the county hospital at a salary of $3.50 per
month, is still resident of the maternity
ward of the hospital. Whatever else may
be said of the doctor he cannot be accused
of being the possessor of a delicate cuticle,
or of lacking in stubborness. Against the
oft and vigorously expressed protest of
public and press, he persists in occupying
as family residence the quarters espe-
cally designed and erected for the use of
women who might be unfortunate enough
to be thrown on public charity during the
most trying and critical experience of
womanhood. In consequence of the SUI
perintending physician inhuman selfish

The serious side of the failure of Mr.
Richard Parks Bland to get audiences in
large southern cities like Savannah and

metal, is a student and man of learning.
He is thoughtful and capable gentleman

NEW DISCOVERY IN EGYPT.
Remains Of an Unknown Race Wh
Elourished 5000 Years Ago.

Remains OF an Unknown Race Who
Elourished 5000 Years Ago.
The report of the discovery by Prof.
Flinders Petrie of the remains Of a dis
tinctly new race of people in Egypt is
by no means startling news to those
who have followed at all the series of
Psychological surprises, says the Phila-
delphia Record. The soil of Egypt
probably holds as great if not greater
wonders than those already unearthed.
While Egypt was not the cradle Of man.
kind, nor even of civilization, its an
tiquities are of more interest to human
ity than those of almost any other
country. The Nile witnessed the great
secrets of the dawn of the historic
world. OF the Egyptians themselves
the origin is still wrapped in inscruta-
BILE mystery. That they were absolute
ly distinct from the Ethiopian race has
long been known; that the primitive
Egyptians were Jewish or even Semitic
has not yet been established. AS for
Prof. Petrie's discovery, it relates to a
comparatively later chapter in the ro-
mantle history OF. the land of the lotus
and papyrus, of Osiris and the Pyramids.
According to the belief of Prof
Petrie, the strange new people whose
bones and relics he has unearthed in
the district between Ballas and
Negadeh, thirty miles north of Thebes,
were most likely the funereal wit
nesses of the conQuerors who over
threw Egyptian civilization atthe time
of the Old Kingdom and produced the
dark ages of the seventh and eighth
dynasties. They would thus have
fourished. near Thebes about 5000 B.
C. Their pottery exhibits some
peculiar Resemblance to that of the
Amorite period in Palestine. Again,
other evidences point westward to
Malta. The prominent aquiline nose
and long pointed beard certainly
lend more plausibility to the Libyan
and Amorite hypothesis. The most
striking phase of all, however, is
the condition of the remains, which
irresistibly suggests ceremonial can
.nibalism. The absence of all writing,
beyond mere personal marks, and the
rudeness of the attempt at drawing
and sculpture emphasize this feature,
while the knowledge evinced of metals
does not alter seriously the conviction
that the civilization of this dead and
long lost race was upon low level, in
strong contrast to Egyptian civiliza-
ton. As Europe suffered an Asiatic
deluge in, later history, SO it may yet
transpire that Egypt was flooded at
one time long before by the barbarians
Of Europe. ~.s,.s r.. 80

a College for Monkeys.

The Garner idea of,monkey language
and general humanlike intelligence is to
be given thorough test at Calcutta.
At that place7a college for the cultiva-
ton of the higher senses of precocious
monkeys has been established, and
some wonderful results arc confidently
anticipated. The ''school" is the result
of an agitation on the part Of some
very advanced evolutionists and nat
uralists, who know enough concerning
the monkeys characteristics to firmly
believe that he can be taught to talk
in way, enough, at least, to express
wants. The method to be employed is
known by the name Of the ''letter-
block system. A block alphabet in
which the letters are all highly colored
is arranged before the monkey student.
With these he will be taught to ar
range some simple word, such as ''pie, "
and as soon as the word is completed
he will be given a piece Of pie as a
prize. The promoters of the scheme
are confident of success.

weak, spindling growth of all and a
large number of small potatoes in the
hill.
The plant shown at No. in the Sec
ond cut gives an illustration Of this
fact. A writer for American Gardening
says in this connections:
The kind Of seed I wish to plant is
shown at No. 2 in the first cut and the
resulting crop at No. 5 in the second
cut. To secure such seed we spread the
potatoes, long before they have had a
chance to start into growth, under the
benches in the greenhouse or in light
frostproof garrett in single layer or at
most two high. A portion of our Ohios
and Freemans are placed in shallow
fats, seed end up, as shown at Fig. 8.
Gradually under the influence Of light
and warmth shoot as stout as ones
little finger appears on the seed end of
the tuber This a little later is sur
mounted by a crown of leaflets, while
rootlets begin to start from its base. In
early spring when the ground is ready
for planting the sets are carefully re-
moved and placed in the ground, scrupu-
lousy avoiding injury to the shoots.
Growth follows with marvellous rapidi-
ty, none Of the pristine vigor of the tu-
Der having been wasted.
The size of seed pieces is decided by
variety, condition and price of seed.

duces more than three or four stalks,
even when we plant very large whole
potatoes. The Freeman, on the other
hand, inclines to the extreme in this d.
rection unless seed is carefully treated
on the suggested lines Usually we pre-
fer to cut seed quite close, as we also do
in case of high priced new varieties.
Early potatoes are treat on the farm,
and the market grower. of course, is no
less anxious to get them early than he is
to secure good yield, for the price is
greatly influenced by their earliness.
Nobody would like to miss chance, if
any such exists, to force the crop lit

Judicious treatment Of seed gives US the
key to the situation and indeed the key
to success in potato growing.
