DON'T Get I'm EARLY.

It is said to be natural-that is, physio-
logical-to rise early and enjoy the beauties
of the sunrise. If we ask why, we are
treated to various transcendental theories
about the vivifying influence of the sun
and are told to take example by the birds
of the air and the beasts of the field, or so
many of them as are not nocturnal in their
habits. But, as a matter of fact, physiol-
ogy, so far as it has anything to say on the
subject at all, is all against the early ris-
ing theory. Physiological experiment. ap-
pears to show that man does not work
best and fastest in the early morning hours,
but on the contrary, about midday. The
desire to rise early, except in those trained
from youth to outdoor pursuits, is COM
monty sign, not of strength of character
and vigor of body, but of advancing age.
Thus paterfamiiias, who goes to bed at II
P. NJ, wants to get up at 5 or 6 A. NJ. and
looks upon his healthy son who lies till
as sluggard. When this foolish interpre-
tation of proverb about the health and
wealth to be got from early rising is COM
bined with the still more foolish adage
which says of sleep. "Six hours for man,
seven for woman and eight for fool, "
then we have vicious system capable OF
working great mischief to young people of
both sexes.-British Medical Journal.

Problems Still Unso1ved.

at seems strange" said railroad attor-
ney, "that with all the modern devices
which have come to stay in the operation
of railroads in this country there has been
no improvement in the manner of collect
ing fares on trains over that which existed
in the most primitive days of railroading.
The bell punch and the cash fare indicator
used in street railways have seemingly
solved the problem so far as they are con-
cerned, but on railway trains no system has
yet been devised which furnished any ac-
curate registration of the fares or tickets
collected. The man who invents some
practical solution of this question will not
be able to build house big enough to hold
the money that his device will bring him.
Railway managers have to some extent, by
means of the ticket system, the duplex
cash fare receipt and the requirement of
showing tickets while entering the gates to
trains, reduced the number of cash fares
actually paid on trains to the con-
ductor, but all these precautions do
not prevent the loss OF revenue
which would swell the earnings to a
considerable extent if the money actually
paid was actually turned in. 1t was
not long ago that plan was discovered on
one of the great railway systems by which
tickets once sold and taken up by the con-
ductor were again found in the ticket
Offices for sale. A gentleman who travels
extensively recently found himself on a
train with mileage-bo book or tickets. The
cash fare paid was between points less than
100 miles distant. His cash fare receipt
was dropped at his side; it was afterward
examined and was found to contain punch
marks indicating much shorter travel than
he had paid for. Sometimes the mistake
is noted, but generally it is not, as the pas
senger doesn't care to interest himself In
such matter. New York Times.

over, and the evenings banquet will end it
all. On Sunday will be the coming home.
Aside from the anticipations of a week
OF unalloyed pleasure, the most absorbing
subject in the minds of the Grand Council
men will be the race for Office. So far three
candidates for the presidency have ap-
peared. John Lynch, grand director and
past grand treasurer; Samuel Hasklns,
a grand director; and E. l. Sheehan, a
past grand director, are the ones men,
+: toned so far, and the Office will go to one
of the three.
The next grand vice-president will be
chosen largely as result of the circum-
. stances of the session and of the presi-
dental vote. No one has stretched his
hand for the position so far.
For grand treasurer John O'Donnell, the
incumbent, is the most open can
dIdate, but the name of James P. Brady
has been mentioned as possible opponent.
For grand secretary there seems to be no
opposition to the incumbent George A.
Stanley. The minor offices are not creating
much contention. These officers will
probably be picked from the floor of the
convention.
A one-third return rate has been secured
from the Southern Pacific for all delegates,
and the citizens of Vallejo and the Vallejo
Council have taken in charge all arrange
ments for the reception of guests. The
chairman of the reception committee is
Judge Ryan, and the secretary w. I.
Kelly. There are expected nearly 200
delegates.

mainly in relation to the frequent threats
of suicide that Mrs. Mathews made. The
dead woman's letters were read in support
of the testimony. One of these, written to
Winthrop, is as follows:

Detective Hicks, who had been engaged
in the defense, produced many witnesses
to show that the woman was often
troubled in mind, and that she had actu-
ally attempted suicide before.
Winthrop told over his story, and he was
what the court attaches considered a
"good witness" He admitted that he
knew about the insurance policy in the
Order of Chosen Friends, and he declared
that Mrs. Mathews had said to him that
she didn't want to have her husband ever
control the money.

to three-quarters of an hour for each side

INCREASING EVIL OF TIPS.
A Few Years Ago They Were Within
the Bounds of Reason.

A Few Years Ago They Were Within
the Bounds of Reason.
A decade ago, even, "tips" were seldom
bestowed in this country outside of do
nestle service, and even with servants a
visitor felt no obligation to remember
any but those who had rendered him
personal attention. A dollar was consid-
cred an amply sufficient douceur, says
the New York Tribune. Now, however
it has become most serious tax in every
direction, while in private houses it has
grown to be such heavy obligation,
especially in an up-to-date fashionable
household that poor young men are actu-
ally obliged to refuse invitations on ac-
count of the outlay necessary to visit in a
friends house. A few days stay necessi-
tates an expenditure almost equal to a
hotel bill for that period of time.
This is obviously wrong and hardly hos
pitable, and fashionable people should do
something to put an end to an unwritten
law which must seriously inconvenience
many of their guests. 1t is hard to know
lust how this evil could be checked, as a
host is not supposed to be aware that the
perquisites of his servants, which are often
more than the wages he gives them, are
what keeps them in good humor with an
influx of visitors and that his guests are
really paying for his hospitality. L. is an
unpleasant idea, one would suppose, to the
entertainer, but this is what it actually
amounts to. The only way to correct this
state of things would be to engage servants

BULL ON GUARD.
A Farmers Scheme to Prevent Fishing
on His Premises.

A Farmers Scheme to Prevent Fishing
on His Premises.
Farmer Jackson of the town of Thomp-
son, N. Y, has adopted novel mode of
keeping trout fishermen off his premises.
The old farmer had splendid trout stream
of pure spring water running through his
farm, and for years has been bothered
with boys and ''city fellers," who with
rod and line would traverse his fields
and tramp down the growing grass and
grain. He had put up warning notices for
trespassers, but the bad boys of the
neighborhood would tear them down, and
fishermen persisted in fishing in the brook,
causing the old man to commit much sin
thereby. AS his house was half mile
away he could not afford to spend the time
watching the preserve with a shotgun.
At last he hit upon happy expedient and
it works like charm. This season his
premises have been free from intruders.
Jackson last year became the possessor of
fine booded Jersey bull 1t carries a
| splendid pair of horns and is as vicious
and ugly as any of the bulls used in the
bull-fghts of old Spain.
In the field through which the brook
flows the bull has been allowed to roam
free. Whenever stranger enters the for
hidden Enclosure his "royal nibs" scents
him from afar, and with tail erect and low
ering head he charges on the intruder, who
takes leg bail and makes haste to get out
of the lot. A few days ago one of the city
guests at Monticello, who was ignorant of
the bulls presence, had just cast his fly
in the stream when he heard a loud
below and saw an angry bull making rap
idly toward him. Without taking the
trouble to reel his line he made for the
nearest fence, which happened to be made
of barbed wire. He landed on the other
side just as the bull came up to him, but
left portion of the seat of his trousers
clinging to the fence. The hay crop is
short in Sullivan County, but the farmer
refuses to sell the bull, and says he will
keep the animal as long as his horns are
good and he retains his hatred of fisher
men.-Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.

Nothing definite was accomplished at the

Union.
Speaking of the work of the committee
Senator Wilmington said:

Will be suggested in our report an improve
ment on present methods in our Legislature.
1 may say that, judging from the matter
contained in our CORRESPONDENCE and from my
own and my colleagues personal observations,
our methods are little behind those of other
States. In fact there are not many, even of
the older States, that have features that could
be grated upon our methods to advantage.
We shall select such features as we find can
be readily adapted TO our constitution and
expect TO find quite number TO recommend
TO the next Legislature. Meetings will be held
by the committee as they are found needful,
but most OF the work can be carried on by cor
respondence, and this is in the hands of Mr..

The Bank Was Closed.

One night recently resident of Man.
chester procured some crabs and tied them
up in paper. He reached home at mid
night, and in the quiet of the parlor undid
the package. The fish had apparently
gone to sleep for the night, and to give
them some animation he poured a few
drops of whisky on them from a con-
venient bottle and then emptied the
creatures into his trousers pockets. Soon
all was quiet in his bedroom, and he sue
cessfully counterfeited his accustomed
Scandinavian snore. Then the partner of
his bosom quietly arose and proceeded to
do some banking business with his
trousers, which hung on their usual peg.
1t is said that Freedom shrieked when
Kosciusko fell.' Well, if she ever shrieked
as did this female when she got couple of
mad crabs on the ends Of her taper fingers
it would have scaled all the whitewash off
every ceiling in Poland. When a woman
can yell so that it curdled all the milk in
the neighborhood you can rest assured
that, as the saying is, there is something
in the air. She continued to shrek until
she exhausted all the atmosphere there
was in the house, by which time the crabs
got frightened and let go of their own ac-

SENT BACK TO PRISON,
Mrs. Worthington Receives No
Mercy From Judge
Wallace.
the Penalty Pronounced
Yesterday.

Mrs. Louisa Worthington and the baby
that was born in prison are going back to
San Quentin. The baby will remain there
only a few months. or until it is old
enough TO be taken away from it's mother,
but unless new appeal is favorably heard
by the Supreme Court Mrs. Worthington
must remain within the walls for quarter
of century.
Judge Wallace pronounced the sentence
yesterday, fixing the same penalty that
was imposed by Judge Seawell two years
ago. The Judge, in declaring that he
could extend no mercy, stated that the
law might have shielded Worthington if
the husband had been the murderer of
Baddeley. but that the woman herself had
no right to kill the man when she had
been party in the wrong.
This point had been dwelt upon by the
defense in the other trials, and it was rep
resented that the husband had melted
Mrs. Worthington to commit the murder.
While the Judge was talking the pris-
oner sat with her child in her arms and
seemed, as at all other times, unconscious
of any proceedings that concerned her.
Attorney Guilfoyle formally moved for
a new trial, alleging error in the instruc-
ton to the Jury, and his motion was for
mally denied. Then he asked the Judge
to show mercy toward the woman, declar-
ing that her case was pitiable and that the
woman had been wronged by the man she
had killed, and then wrongfully urged by
her husband to commit the murder.
"There were in this case, Judge Wal
lace replied, s'many circumstances which
might have justified the killing of Bad
deley by this woman's husband, but there
was nothing that iustifies or excuses the
the murder by her. She entered into GRIM
inal relations with Baddeley freely and
voluntarily. She laid aside all shame and
all thought of her duties as wife and
mother and formed liaison withthe MUIR
dered man. It was case of love and re-
venge. That is all l can see in it. There
is nothing of insanity in this case. 1t was
a murder of an aggravated character.
"The duty of fixing the penalty in such
case is one of delicacy and annoyance.
The jury could not fix the punishment un-
der the verdict returned, SO that disagree
able duty was left to the court. The de-
PENDANT has been tried twice before. Once

A BOWL OF KAVA.
How the Polynesian Drink Is Prepared
by Girls.

How the Polynesian Drink Is Prepared
by Girls.
Kava is the native drink and its use and
the manner of ceremony of its preparation
being among the most ancient customs Of
Polynesia, it merits, 1 think, short de-
scription. Kava is an indigenous tree,
more or less plentiful throughout the
South Sea islands, the root of which is en-
ployed in the manufacture of the drink.
When visitors are present much ceremony
is observed in its preparation. A beauti-
full round bowl of dark-colored wood
is produced, it's interior shining with
a blue enamel-like coating, caused by
the deposit of the root. Generally speak
ing, the bowl is the property OF the village,
and much care is taken and time spent in
polishing and preserving the enamel in the
interior.
Three young girls with shining white
teeth, chosen usually from the "beIles'' of
the village, seat themselves around the
bowl, each having piece of the kava
root This they proceed to break up into
small pieces, and, putting them into their
mouths, chew the dry root until it is re-
duced to pulp. which is placed from time
to time in the bowl. A suficiency having
been thus prepared, water is poured in and
the whole mixture is stirred up; punches
