With the stringency of the money
market, the general depression of trade
and the unstable condition of business
of all descriptions, there Is, rs matter
of course, n tendency on the part OF en-
ployers OF all kinds of labor to reduce
their working force as much as possi-
BILE. In many large establishments
there is a regular pay roll of employees
who are not actually needed save for
emergencies and the occasional rushes
which occur in all lines of commercial
life. AS there are always men who are
willing to do anything to turn an hon
est penny, it is not unnatural for many
of them to drift into the country and
apply to the farmers for temporary EN-
ployment. There are comparatively
few experts in farmwork who are out
of positions; the rank and file is re-
cruited from all trades and occupations,
with fair sprinkling of those who are
for the first time in their lives driven by
stern necessity to do something rather
than suffer the pangs of hunger and the
desolation of homelessness. 1t is scarce
ly to be wondered at. says the New
York Ledger. that this agricultural
contingent makes rather poor work of
a business which moro than almost
any other requires experience, fore
sight and accuracy, il reasonably good
results are to be expected. 1t has long
been the popular idea that brains be-
longs to the commercial man and Drawn
to the farmer, and that the latter was
quite well enough equipped If he pos
sessed that quality. That he needed
quite as much brains as the banker,
broker and merchant or professional
man only dawned upon us short time
ago. Now we have agricultural expert
ment stations all over the country,
each with a corps of trained agricultur-
lists whose business it is to make tests
of the relative values of farm products,
both animal and vegetable. The CON-
mon farmland would be of little use
in places of this sort. Sometimes, to be
sure, it is necessary to hire any hands
that offer, but this does not pay except
in emergencies. 1t is much moro
profitable to hire better class, men OF
accurate methods and Industrious hab-
its, instructed in farming.

While all horsemen are interested in
everything that has to do with better
ing the condition of the feet of horses,
there are many who are slow to believe
that any marked improvement in
shoes and their manufacture will be
introduced in the near future. There
is new horseshoe that takes in a GER
tain portion of the horses hoof. This
ix much commented on. and, to the
amateur, looks attractive. 1t will stay
Gu longer, and will, it is claimed, keep
the horses hoof in good shape. This
IS all very well for little while, but as
soon rs the hoof grows past certain
point the feet are crowded and the horse
either favors them or goes lame al

A Oucer Family.

"There is in Tennessee q family of
three sisters which presents some of the
most startling peculiarities imagin-
able" said II gentleman from the state
in question to New Orleans Times
Democrat representative. THE three
sisters live together on q farm, their
sole means of subsistence, and work
early and late to earn a livelihood. Two
of them work in the field; the third
does the cooking and other housework.
There is but one period of the year when
any member of the trio has anything to
say to any other member. All during
the winter, spring and summer they
go about their business with the seal
of silence on their lips. When fall
comes and the crop is harvested they
break the silence, and then only to
quarrel over the division of the pro-
ceeds. When each has succeeded in
getting all that she thinks possible ST.
1ence reigns again until the next har-
vest time. The sisters have made a
name for themselves. They are known
far and near as the 'deaf-and-dumb
triplets,' although this title is scarcely
appropriate"

Some time ago Editor Edwards, of
the Staunton Qll) Times, printed a
cartoon in his journal in which some
young women of that locality were
satirized. The three daughters OF Mrs.
Shire, grown-up young women,
thought that they were the ones repre-
sentetl, and resolved upon revenge. One
evening recently, as Editor Edwards
was pcdaling homeward on his bicycle,
something white whizzed past him and
broke with q soft crush beyond. An
other missile came and then he saw the
Shire sisters behind fence with bss-
ketful of ammunition at their feet. Ed
wards dsmounted and laid his bicycle
down carefully. He then stood erect,
and ne he did so one of the white mis-
siles took him in the ear. 1t was an egg,
and it had not been n fresh one Tor a
long time. The ditor leaped over the
fence and gave chase to the enemy

lady across his knee and administered

The best-informed writers on inter-
national topics are coming to agree
ment upon the conclusion that the final
responsibility for the atrocities in Tur-
key rests upon the so-called Christian
powers. 1t has long been evident that
the cause of humanity has nothing to
hope for from the sultan's government.
What has stood in the way of effective
interference is the selfish view taken by
governments that are great enough to
put such considerations aside in the in
terests of common humanity.

All work on the construction of the

railway will be abandoned in a week
or two. or as soon as the road is COM
Rpleted on the outskirts of Fresno, says
the San Francisco Chronicle of Tuesday.
This. according to Chief Engineer Storey,
will be somewhere between the 10th and
the 18th of the month. The rails are now
laid to a point about sixteen miles from
Fresno. The big bridge over the San
Joaquin river wi be finished in day or

will not be interrupted. The grading
is nearly completed to Fresno, and as
soon as that work is finished, which
will be in less than week. the several
hundred men now employed by Grant
Brothers and ]. D. McDougall, the con-
tractors, will be given a vacation Tor
several months.
The directors of the valley road have
decided to do no more work on the con-
struction of the lire up the San Joaquin
valley until they can place some bonds
on the market. and it has been agreed
that the present is no time to float bonds.
One of the directors of the company
said yesterday that no bonds would be
offered until after election.
when this money question is decid-
ed he said, 1--WE will know where we
stand We will then issue our bonds
and proceed with the construction of the
road from Fresno to Bakersfield and
from Stockton to San Francicco By

TO are settled the temporary terminus of
the road will be point about a mile
from town. Chief Engineer Storey said
yesterday that his trouble would prob
ably be settled by the middle of Septem-
Der, and the mile of track into the city
would then be built Until that time,
he said. the company would not under

his wife, Abigail, wrote to him asking
him not to forget women in his ccnsti-

Miss Eeene, Mrs. Meserve and others
took part in the discussion.
A large number was present. and the
enthusiasm manifested by the women at

INSANE PATIENTS
HaIIucinatlons in Both Instances Upset the
Mental Equilibrium

An old soldier named Philip Maloney
was brought before Judge York yester-
day to be examined as to his mental con-
dition.
The patient is SO years of age and an
inmate of the Soldiers Home. He has
labored under the delusion that certain
parties keep him awake nights by pull
ing him around. Sometimes, too, he
wakens feeling dead; feeling induced
by these same parties. This monomania
is increasing, and while not dangerous
in the ordinary sense, the patient some
times is apt to be dangerous to persons
whom he suspects of plotting hic discom-
fort. For this reason, on the recon-
mendation of Drs. w. Chapman and
Walter Lindley, the patient was ordered
committed to the state asylum at High
lands.
Miss Mathilde Ormandy was brought
into department three yesterday, to be
examined as to her sanity. For some
time past she has labored under the de-
fusion that her dead mother and others
have appeared to her and melted her 20
do absurd things. This has gone on I'M
til now she supposes herself spiritual
istic medium and can feel the magnet
ism in her own body.
The trouble of Mrs. Ormandy has
been accentua ted, if not result, of her
brooding over the fact that her hus-
band Is confined in the state penitenti
airy. Upon the recommendation of the
examining physicians Judge York or
dered the patient committed to High
lands,
