CHANGING DAYS.

Soon the days that hide behind
The little bedroom window blind,
They that come and peep within
Eyes from dreamy sleep TO win,
Soon they'll bear a different face,
Soon they'll wear another grace.
We shall greet them open-eyed
Though behind white hills they hide;
We shall find them gone away,
Oh. so early, while we play.
But just now-"betwixt, between
Grass grows yellow, grass grows green
Days are short, or days are long,
As the cloud flocks closer throng;
Or the gray cloud-curtains rise,
Showing sunsets to our eyes
Sunset clouds and lights that lie
Trailing in the western sky
While at dusk the wind, grown bold,
Plucks the loosened leaves of gold.

COYOTEt SCALPS.
They Cause Il Deal of Trouble in
California.

Sacramento, Nov. 16.-There was no
meeting OF the state board of examin-
ers today ewing to the absence of
Governor Budd and Attorney General
Fitzgerald, and as a consequence the
aggravat4ng question of making a
recommendation corcen;ng an appro-
priation for paying certified coyote
scalp claims is still unsettled.
Secretary Markley has, however,
completed his report on the list of
counties which the board consider
doubtful.
Secretary of State Brown has con-
tended all along that recommended
tions favorable TO paying off uncOn-
tested claims or those to which no
doubt exists of their business should
be made In order that people who
have ACTED in good faith will retain
their claims and know that the same
will be paid as soon as an approprla-
ton for the purpose becomes avail
able. Secretary Markley says:
''The act fixing a bounty on coyote
scalps was approved March 81, 1891,
end repealed Jan. "a, 1895. AS near as
can ascertain the number of scalps
for which claims were approved by
The supervisors OF the various coun-
ties was 92,4S1, aggregating the sum of
1892 155.
The number Of unpaid scalps for
wslioCl certificates have been issued
is 57,52S, aggresating the sum of $751;
615.
In every county organized prior 70
that date there was a gradual falling
off in the number of certificates issued
in 1893, as compared with the number
.sSued in 1892.
In the year 1894 trlere was a large
increase in the number of certificates
issued as compared with 1893, and es-
pecially the last quarter of 1894, and
the "a days in 1895 in the following
ccIdrrfes.
The total number of scalps for
which certificates were issued in these
ncne counties for the last three
months in 1894 and "a days in Janu-
airy, 1895, was 1886, aggregating the
sum of s65,9SO."

THE MYSTERY OF LIFE
An Important Part Played by Car
bonic Acid, Water and Ammonia.

An Important Part Played by Car
bonic Acid, Water and Ammonia.
What do we know of life? Carbonic
acid, water and ammonia, when taken
into a plant, produce in some way pro-
toplasm. which is a substance composed
of minute corpuscles, and inside each
corpuscle there is smaller body called
a nucleus, says London Truth. By TAX
ing in carbonic acid, water and am
monia and converting them into this
compound, called protein, the plant
maintains it's vigor, grows and multi
plies. The animal does the same by
taking in the same compound. with this
differepce-that, whereas the plant can
manufacture Drotoplasm out of inor-
ganic matter, the animal is obliged TO
proc ure it ready made from the plants.
The same indicated mass of protopiasm
that is the unit of plant life is the Unit
of animal life. The body and the plant
are multiples of such units, variously
modified, but in their composition dem
teal.
When the animal dies The lrbonic
acid, the water and the ammonia of
his body are restored 10 the collective
stock Again they are taken into new
plants and through new plants into
new animals. Thus protoplasm is the
basis OF all life. 1t is built up OF 0rdi-
nary master and it is resolved again
into ordinary matter. Plants can make
protoplasm out of its component parts.
animals can convert lifeless into living
protoplasm. This is the only difference
between d man and q plant as regards
their making. How all this is done We
have not the remotest notion All :hat
we know is that il IS done. Remove
the carbon the oxygen. the HYDROGEN
and the nitrogen, which form carbonic
acid. water and ammonia, from the
globe, ard all vitality, whether animal
or. vegetab BILE. would disappear from it.
When brought together under certain
conditions they give rise 70 prctoPlassn,

introduced by the defense will go to-

Are American Statesmen on the De-
cline?

Are American statesmen on the
decline! Through the dim vista of
passing years rs history records
events and the actions of statesmen
are chrouiciel in the national an
uals, We - there for proof in our
present discussion. As there is
much ambiguity aud some difference
of opinion in regard to what consti-
tutes Il statesman, let us take Web
ster's definition and consider the
statesman as Il mau ycrsod in the
arts of government. especially one
eminent III political abilities.
Show me the man of the present
age who does not venerate the name
of Washington Point to me now Il
person who says that Thomas JEFF
ferson and John Adams were not
possessed of more than ordinary
talent Designate to me any proml-
nent statesman who served our re-
public III its infancy and is not now
loved aud cherished for his noble
deeds
Yes, we must attribute to our
early statesmen Il great amount of
credit, aud bestow upon them n
great amount of honor for their
keen executive abilities. We frank.
ly and willingly pay this Just tribute
to the pioneer leaders of our ma
tions. Were We 10 concede that the
attainments of these men, were
equal or superior to those of modern
statesmen, we wo~ld openly assert
that the experience of men has
availed cothing. We would avow
that all the Investigations in science
of government, all the benefits of
modern discoveries have served to
no purpose whatever, and the incon.
sistency of the argument would be
idiculuusly presented. But while
we desire to pay due tribute to the
abilities OF our pioneers, we boldly
declare that the statesmen of the
present day are superior to those OF
former times. Certainly III the light
of the present age, with the advan-
tages of higher education, why
should America not be able to pro
duce n higher order OF statesmen
than in its early history? Our re.
public now has tho experience of ov-
er century from which her states
men can judiciously discern what
course to pursue. Reason will tell
them to avoid former errors; and in
making new laws and proposing new
schemes for the welfare of the re-
public, they guard against the pos
sibility of error.

positions they hold, we do not deny.
