Cross-Bred Fowls.-In England quite
a demand is annually created for cross
breds by the poultrymen there adver-
tising such, showing that they are OF
a more hardy nature, and that as meat
and egg producers they excel the bird
in it's purity. Until few years ago,
on account of fanciers sacrificing the
utility points of the breeds to gain high
scoring fowls. 1t looked as IL a similar
step had to be taken in this country.
But the fanciers are more careful now,
and we believe that better and harder
stock is being grown. We prefer pure
bred poultry but want them profitable.
We do not care for high scores when
we ale aiming at supplying a market
for table poultry and. eggs. and for that
reason the cross-bred question was
raised. But let the fanciers continue
to aim at utility and hardness, and the
bottom will drop out Of the idea OF
crossing for profit.-Iowa Homestead.

On the Increase Of Survivors.

Among the curiosities of the United
States census is tho fact that the number
Of veterans drawing pensions on account
of service in the Federal armies during the
civil war, instead Of decreasing from year
to year, seems rather to increase. Those
familiar with military statistics will not,
however, be surprised at this. Take, for
example, the Thousand" who accom-
panied Garibaldi to Marsala. To speak
with absolute accuracy, this heroic band
consisted of 1,051 souls, including two gal
liant Frenchmcn. They fought with utter
reclklessness and suffered terribly from
lack Of food and shelter. Nevertheless it
is computed that the survivors of the
Thousand" in Italy now numbers fully
1000 men, and to those should be added
at least 10, 900 more who are at present
either in the United States or il the Ar
gentine Republic.
I do not know precisely how many sur
vivors Of the six hundred Of Balaklava
there are now in Great Britain, but there
Is not a town of any size in the United
States that does not boast of at least one Of
these gallant men, and we may safely as.
sumo that there are fully 1000 survivors
of the six hundred in the United States
alone, without counting those in Canada
and the other colonies.-W. L. Alden in

SundOWners In Australia.

Titled lords, baronets, parsons, lawyers,
captains, architects, clerks-all these are
to be met with on the roads. They can be
divided into two broad classes-viz, those
who are looking for work and those who
are seeking to avoid it. The former con-
sist of a fine set Of men Of all ages, ready
and willing to undergo the hardships of a
weary tramp of hundreds Of miles, along
which they push forward hopefully to find
the work which is generally to be had by
those who are willing to search for it.
Their 'tswag'' is generally made up of a
pair Of blankets and a pair of trousers, a
spare coat, two or three shirts and pairs of
socks, a brush and comb, towel, needle
and thread, etc. For stores they carry
bread Or flour, sugar, tea, carbonate Of
soda for making damper, a billy pannikin
and knife and fork. This is a fair average
swag, though it will often be supplement-
ed by sundry little additional luxuries, &C.
oording to the individual ~idiosyncrasy of
the owner.-Temple Bar.

CALIFORNIA. YELLOWS.
Some Reasons Why California Should BE
Called the "Golden State"

Cooo Ay oAAOuAu no
Called the "Golden State"
California might be called the Golden
State as much because of the gold of it's
fowers.as that of it's mines. No one will
dispute it's claim to this title who has seen
it's roadside gay with orange hued peoples,
its meadows radiant with yellow daisies
and wild mustard, and it's hillsides glow
ing with masses of yellow bloom.
While nature here supplied the richest
soil and the rarest climate on earth, she
withheld a sufficient rainfall, so that the
California valleys lay, until 20 years ago,
parched and arid during six months of the
year. A singular instance Of the tineness
Of the line between poverty and riches be-
fore irrigation reclaimed this country vas
found in the massacre of horses in 1869
and 1870.
There was in the state about that time
an enormous number of bronchos. This
fine species of horse has hardly an equal
for grace, speed and endurance, and thou
sands then ran wild over the country.
They lived on alfalfa, a kind of grass
which there grows ~abundantly. When the
crop dried up in the drought succeeding
the rainy season, the horses were not worth
the cost of their living. Their owners
shot them by hundreds.
One clear sighted man saw a golden op-
%portunity in the situation. He sold his
ranch and bought 5000 horses at 50 each.
A condition Of the sale was that he should
take them out Of tho state within a week.
He started with them for Denver, and
for six months braved the perils of u jour-
ney over mountain and desert and
through a country peoplcd by Indians,
whom he had alternately to fight and ca
jole. Arrived at last, the best horses in the
''string" brought $50, the poorest about
$40. At the end Of seven weeks the i'm
promptu horse dealer went back to Cali
fornia with q fortune.-New York Dis

produced in court were all written by the
same man?'' Mr.. Sarony asked.
81 do" was the reply.
The Juror went into the general discus
sion of penmanship, and then some more
witnesses were called by the defense.
Mrs. Eliza Kutner testified that in
March, 1894 she visited her friend, Mrs.
Haskins, to confer with her about a bust
ness matter. While looking through a
trunk to find written agreement in rela-
ton to a lease Mrs. Haskins found a
sealed envelope bearing the address: "Mrs.
James Haskins." The envelope was torn
open and the will of 1888 was found therein.
"'Oh, that's nothing, said Mrs. Has
kins," the witness continued. Then she
was going to tear up the will, but told
her not to and she put the will back m the
trunk"
Edward B. Laughlin, a tenant in Mrs.
Haskins' house, testified that Mr.. and Mrs.
Haskins had always seemed devoted to
each other. No discord ever seemed to
exist. Mr.. Laughlin had been in the real
estate business and on one occasion Mr..
Haskins told him that the property stood
in the name of Mrs. Haskins.
Stephen Roberts, an old friend of the
family, gave. similar testimony, declaring
that James HaskinS had said to him,
whats mine is my wife's."
Charles w. Heyer, auditor of the Ger
man Bank, produced lot of ponderous
volumes to show the Haskins signatures.
One or two of the jurors proceeded to
question the witness aud Judge Coffey ap-
parently accepted an opportunity to refer
to the chewing-gum.

or counsel without special permission of
the court. You are expected to use your
eyes and your ears, but not your mouths"
board will under the Haskins house was
Annie Laughlin, the actual finder of the
board. Miss Laughlin is sister of
Edward B. Laughlin, previous witness.
The official inventory of the Haskins
estate is as follows:
On deposit in the German Savings Bank 5 $500 90
On deposit in the Savings and Loan
Land at Leavenworth and Greenwich
Family rnfGSs residence thereon. rs 90 90
Total. ............. .s12,s74 SO
Mr.. Deuprey declares that in any event
the real estate cannot be included in the
James Haskins inventory, as 1t was con-
veyed to the husband in deed of gift
dated October 16, 1889, and the Supreme
Court has decided in the case OF ReQua VS..
Brandenstein that any such deed by wife
to husband prior to the legislative amend
ment of 1891 is void.
Mrs. Haskins stated in court that she
received $1,000 at the time of her marriage,
the money having been left to her by her
parents. She and her husband went to
Forest City. There they buried the money,
having no bank to put it in, but they dug
it up afterward and came to San Francisco.
With that money the house on Leaven-
worth street was built. The property was
decided by Mr.. Haskins to his wife, but a
reconveyance, as already stated, was after
ward made.

Years day, 1891, Mr. Haskin's told him he
had never made will, was contradicted in
many particulars. Mrs. Haskins testified
that on the day in question Mr.. Heintzen
was not at the house.
You clearly remember the events of
that day. do you?'

Mrs. Haskins was questioned about the
burning of Forest City, about the effect of
the fire on her husbands property and
about the Live Yankee mine and other in
terests of the Haskins brothers.
There was little in the whole history of
the Haskins family that the attorney left
out of his inquiry.
All this time seven out of the twelve
members of the jury chewed gum, with
which Louis Sarony had kept them sup
piled. Mr.. Sarony is member of the
Jury and he carries "a stock of gum from
the candy factory every day. When Pro-
lessor Mitchell, the writing expert for the
contestants, was recalled, the jurors OBJ
tanned permission to question him.

that there had been ill feeling between the
two brothers, James and William Haskins,
as the latter had induced his father, who
owned $4,000 estate, to disinherit James.
A long arrangement followed, and the
brothers were eventually brought together
again through the influence of Mrs Has
kins, the wife of James,
Mrs. Haskins wept as the lawyer went
over the story of her married life, and Mar
garet Craven comforted her. The pathetic
scene did not last long, though, for the OPP
posing counsel knew no sentiment and ex-
Senator Ford engaged Mr.. Wright in a
quarrel over prosaic legal questions as to
whether some of the assertions were rele-
want, material and competent in the case.
Mrs. Craven was absent during the early
part of the session, but her daughter and
several other young ladies were present.

Mrs. Haskins testified in her own behalf
that when she married Mr.. Haskins on
February 6, 1862, she had $1,000 of her own.
She gave her husband the use of the funds,
and portion of her money was used in
the construction of the house on Leaven-
worth street.
This house she conveyed to her husband
by deed, and it is a portion of the estate
bequeathed in each of the eleven wills that
have been brought to light.

time" said Mrs. Haskins. "He told me

Mrs. Leak was the publica ton, uninten-
tionally, of statement that she had been
divorced from her husband. This is not
true. There has been separation and
the husband, Grape Leak, is living at
Gloversville, n. Y. The son. Mondulla
Leak, now at the head of the Leak Adver-.
Using Company, was formerly partner OF
Louis D. Radgesty of All Market street,
this City, in the Leak Glove Manufactur-
ing Company of Gloversville, N. Y. Mrs.
Leak is comfortably provided for and seWs
merely to keep herself occupied.
That is the true story of the newest and
strongest witness for the prosecution, and
against the chain of evidence in which she
forms the connecting link 1t is lmpossl BILE
for the prosecution to see where even an
alibi can be proven for Durrant. Yet, in
face of it all, the defense is to all intents
and purposes just as confident to-day OF
its ability to establish the innocence of
Durrant beyond cavil as it ever was.
Again and again has General Dickinson
stated that that alibi could and would be
proved and the other principal personages
connected with the defense state that they
are of the same opinion still.
For the present that is the way the case
stands. Each side proclaims its belief In
the ultimate triumph of its own presenta-
tions; and yet there is a gap of four in the
jury which, from past experiences, 1t would
seem it would be hard to fill. Tomorrow
the trial will have entered upon its fifth
week, and but two-thirds of the jury have
been secured. One thousand and fifty
veniremen have been drawn from the
trial jury box and all but 125 of them have
been passed on in some way or another.
The defense has exhausted only eight of
its peremptory challenges and ihe prosecu-
ton four of its ten. At this rate another
cherries vista of three weeks is expected
to be consumed in filling the box, if it is
accomplished at the end of that time.
And this doubt as to the ability to secure
jury, together with certain questions put
to veniremen by Mr.. Deup1ey upon exam
ination concerning what influences certain
publications had had upon their minds,
has led to the belief that the defense in
tends to renew its motion for change oil
venue. 1t has not been stated that it will,
but taking all in all it is just within the
proba bilities that the accused will not be
tried in San Francisco. Time will only
tell, and pending the filling of the jury-box
it is dragging slowly enough.
