Governor Btidd Viii Take His Time in
Making appointments.
STOCKTON, CAL, May 1.-Governor
Budd left on the afternoon train to-day
for. Sacramento. Before going he was seen
by 4 Mail reporter with reference to GER
tain appointments of State officials whose
terms Of office have expired. He said that
as rule he would not make any appoint
ments until the end of the present fiscal
year, allowing those whose terms have ex-
pired to remain in Office until then, as he
did not think it wise policy to break into
the year, but that it was better to allow
most of the officers to stay in until they
had completed their financial statements
for the.year.
II will adhere to this rule as much as
possible" said the Governor, "but, of
course, it will be a flexible rule, and in
some cases | will make appointments, per-
haps, if the occasion seems to demand it.
| recently appointed two members of the
Board of Dental Examiners, one from
Santa. Cruz and one from BenicIa. That
was to fill vacancies caused by resigna-
tions and because the board did not have
a quorum to do its work.

reference to appointing the members of
the Yosemite Valley Commission. There
Will probably be meeting of the mem
berS Of the commission in San Francisco
week after next, and then there will be
the annual meeting in the valley the sec
ond week in June. l may wait before
making any appointments on this CON-
mission until after these meetings. With
the mem bers of the Board of Pharmacy 1
shall probably wait until the end of the
present fiscal year. If any occasion should
arise before then 10 require an appoint
ment l shall make it.
''The term of some of the members Of
the San Bernardino Asylum will expire in
May but [ cannot tell just now what will
be done toward filling their places. With
the Napa Asylum there will be two va
cancies, but l will probably wait until
after June before filling them"
What do you intend to do about filling
the vacancy caused by the death of Dennis
Spencer, attorney for the San Francisco
Board OF Health2'' was asked.
~ may wait, until after the Supreme
Court renders its decision in the case now
pending before making the appointment
of his successor" replied the Governor.
Il have fully made up my mind as to who
will be the appointee, but will not make
his name public at present. 1t is posi-
BILE that the appointment may not be de-
layed until after the Supreme Court rem
ders its opinion, but as matters stand at
present l think / will wait until that

SIMPLE AND inexpensive
Yet Invaluable to Owners of
Milk Cattle
THE QUALITY OF THE MILK
Is OF Vastly Greater Importance Than
the Quantity
Troublesome Question Results Accom-.
pIishei on Some Eastern Farms

The English agriculturist is slow to take
advantage Of modern scientific discoveries
and inventions. Even the cream scpara-
tor, the principle and utility of which are
universally understood, has not yet come
into general use in this country. AS for
the milk tester, its very name is unknown
to thousands Of English farmers. Yet the
value Of this simple and inexpensive ap-
pliance to every one who owns milk cat
tie is incalculable, and its employment is
doing moro to advance the dairying in
dustry in America and elsewhere than per-
haps even tho separator itself. Mere guam
tity Of milk does not give any clew as to
the butter producing capability of COW
But by tho tester tho percentage of butter
fat in each cows milk is ascertained, with
hardly any labor and with absolute ac-
Curacy before the milk is poured into the
common receptacle for butter making pur-
poses.
The dairyman who has no tester merely
knows the quantity Of butter his COWS pro-
duce in the aggregate. He has no clew as
to the value of each individual COW in the
herd. With the tester on the other hand,
he ksows exactly how much butter each
individual COW produces from every gallon
Of its milk. By this means he is enabled
to Gull his herd, replacing poor butter pro-
ducers by good ones. The poor COW costs
just as much for food and attention as the
good one, but the annual monetary re-
turns of the two animals show wide
margin of difference. Moreover, good
butter COW produces good butter stock,
and so, from his knowledge acquired from
tho use OF the milk tester, the breeder of
dairy stock is enabled to select the proper
calves TO rear and the proper ones to reject
In this way 1t becomes perfectly posi-
bic, as has been actually done on farms in
Vermont and elsewhere in the United
States, to grade up a dairy herd from an
average production per COW of 150 pounds
of butter per annum to an average Of 300
pounds and over. With these figures be-
fore him, even the layman will grasp the
value of such an invention to each individ-
ual farmer who uses it. But let us reflect
what are the money advantages of the sys-
TEN when spread over the 1 900 farms that
contribute to such a creamery as that of
ST. Adams, VT; what the gain to the
whole of that great dairying state, what
the enhanced profit to tho vast dairying
industry Of America. We're the milk tester
in universal use throughout Great Britain
and Ireland, the capitalized value of our
dairy herds might be increased in few
years time fully 25 per cent. If, then, the
British farmer does not eagerly avail him
self Of such an invention, can he fairly
grumble at being ousted from his own
markets by his foreign ompetitor?-Wcst-

A Queer Shower of Ashes.

At about 1880 O'Clock on the morning
Of Feb. IL, $780, the citizens of the state
of Guiana juata, Mexico, witnessed very
peculiar phenomenon, and one which
caused the majority Of the population to
repair to the churches and pray to be saved
from the wrath to come. On the day
and there was not breath OF air stirrings
All of a sudden it was noticed that the ate
,nosphcre took on q curious, CHASTITY aspect,
and Immediately after q shower Of almost
pure white ashes was rained down upon
all exposed objects. The phenomenon was
more noticeable in the city of Guanajuata
and vicinity than in any other part of ths
state named above, and almost the entire
population sought the churches and prayed
earnestly to DO saved from destruction.
AT times during the progress of this pecul.
lar storm the fall of the white sub
stance from the sky was very thick, and
those who bad seen snowstorms at the
north declared that the resemblance be-
tween the two was very similar. The
buildings, streets, trees and people (those
who did not seek shelter) were literally
covered with ashes at the conclusion of the
peculiar storm. AS noted above, the storm
extended throughout the state of Guiana
juata. 1t was the general opinion of those
who observed the fall with an eye to col
lecting scientific data that the ashes were
waited by an upper, northeasterly current
of air across hundreds of miles Of country
from the volcano Of Coluna, which was AZ
that time in a state OF active eruption.-

pair were not jubilant over the prospects
of climbing into an upper berth, and their
objections were plainly audible to others
than the porter. AT last that sable gallant,

In the meantime my friend, being q
heavy sleeper, was quite unconscious of
the change that had been made in the ar.
rangements. So, early in the morning,
he crawled out and proceeded to get his
shoes from under the berth, sitting upon
the edge of the bed while he leisurely drew
on one shoe. Then he began to think
had enjoyed myself undisturbed quite long
enough and commenced to shake the cur
tains and call TO me to get up. Meeting
with no response, he concluded to make 10
more etfectual, SO he calmly drew aside
the curtains, noticing nothing unusual In
the dim light and gave several resounding
slaps with the remaining shoe upon the
most obvious portion Of the anatomy. At
the same time he called, Come, aren't

The Valueless Title.

we jump at anything bearing title which

ask him TO dinner present him to our

nHry our daughters. True, he may be a
pilnce in Russia where that title increases
and multiplies ut dreadful rate, or a
baron in Germany, where barons are rs
plentiful as peanuts in Georgin. or count
in Italy, where counts are all over the
place; nobody stops to question the quality
of the title; the mere fact of Il title at all
is enough. 1t is to be hoped that presently
we shall learn that gentlemen with titles
are very like gentlemen with none-they

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.
Don't Be Frightened When You See the
Flash, For the Danger Is Past.

If you see q fash of lightning, you will
not be struck by it. The chances are large
ly against your being s.-uck by the next
1t is wise, however, not to make yourself
a convenient means of escape for electricity
on its way into the ground. Therefore do
not sit or stand by an open window or
door nor in any place where there is a
strong draft Lightning is more danger
Gus before the rain begins, for the rain
helps to carry it to the ground If out of
doors, do not seek shelter under a tree Or
in barn.
A recent report sent out by the govern
ment states that the popular belief that
barns arc struck more frequently than 9TH
er buildings and ARE particularly liable to
disaster when filed with hay Is correct.
The fact is accounted for principally by
the strata of warm air which IA well filled
barn generates. 1t may also be due to the
absence of crops in the fields, for each stalk
acts as miniature lightning rod. An
English lecturer states that thunder
cloud cannot cross river but the general
disturbance may spread SO that similar
storm is developed on the opposite side.
This probably accounts for showers meet
ing.
Heat lightning may be the reflection of
distant thunderstorm or it may come
from storm raging high in the air. In
this latter case the reason we do not hear
thunder is that the sound loses its inten-
sity as it passes through the dense lower
air.
A thunderbolt or ball of fire is real

imagined. 1T is not a solid ball of fire but
