father, ]. A. Chanslor, at Fresno, that
they had struck a "gusher" on one Of
their oil wells at that place that will
yield an output Of over 500 barrels of

Lived ON What They Took.

There is one thing which is not gen.
orally known to the public-that lis,
Mosby and his men never received one
cent from the Confederate government.
Each man provided himself with his
own uniform, horse and arms, and
boarded himself The United States
government furnished us with captured
horses, arms and ammunition, and the
extra horses captured paid our board
So, instead Of receiving pay from the
Confederate government. we turned
over to them horses, mules and arms. I
will mention one incident to show what
an honorable and conscientious man
Colonel Mosby was. On the greenback
raid, when we captured s16S, 900, be-
fore division was made Of the money
$50, 900 was offered Colonel Mosby,
which he declined to receive. Nor did

THE OFFICE SEEKING HORDE,

General Harrison Says It Makes tho Posl-

At the beginning of every administra-

who desire some Office either in tho
states, in the departments or in the for
eign service, writes ex-President Harri-
son in The Ladies' Home Journal, dis
cussing 1.-THE Presidential Office " Many
of these persons have limited purse,

in. Many of these persons are deserving
and we'll fitted to fill the offices they de
sire. But it is impossible to find places
for all the deserving, and the position of
the president is full of trial. The sus-
pense and uncertainty that the office
seeker suffers are illustrated by the case
Of man from my own state who
thought he had good reason to expect an
appointment from President Garfield.
After he had been weeks at Washington,
and had brought to bear all the influence
he could command, I met him one day
on the street and asked him how he was
getting along. His answer was, Every
we'll, very well, but there is nothing
focal yet" 1t was wonderfully express

as type Of the state of uncertainty
which accompanies Office seeking

hard to kill.
There are few Offices at Washington
the salaries Of which enable the incum-
bent to save any money, and the average
experience Of those holding places in the
departments, am sure. is, if they would
express it. that private business offers
better returns and gives better chance
for advancement.

HONEY As A FOOD.


It Il Easy of Dsgsstisa-Bsns0cialI IN sous
Cases a Disease.
Probably most people consider honey
% the equal in value for food Of any
sweet sauce-no better, no worse. All
should know that it possesses one great
superiority-esse Of digestion. The nec-
tar Of flowers u almost wholly cane
sugar. The secre:ions added by the bees
change this to grape sugar and so pre-
pare 1t that it is almost ready for as
stmilation without any effort ON the
part Of the stomach. In fact, Professor
A. j. Cook once styled honey ''digested
nectar" 1t will be readily seen that
honey is very desirable food for those
with weakened digestive powers. If a
person is very tired. "too exhausted to
est" it is astonishing how few tastes
Of honey will act almost like magic.
Almost no effort is required to make it
ready for assimilation. Persons suffer.
ing from some forms Of kidney trouble
will find that honey is q much more
beneficial food for them than is cane
sugar.
In eating comb honey many strive to
eject every particle Of wax, fearing that,
as wax is indigestible. nightmare and
other troublesome consequences will fol-
low an indulgence in warm biscuit and
honey. It is true that bread is more
easily digested than warm biscuit, as
the latter is inclined to pack" in chew
ing, but it may surprise some to know
that comb honey is really an aid to the
digestion of hot bread or biscuit. The
philosophy of the matter is that the
flakes of wax prevent the packing"
while the honey readily dissolves out,
leaving passages for the gastric jaice to
enter the mass of food. The flakes of
wax are indigestible, that is true, but
when warmed are perfectly smooth and
soft and will not injure the most deli
cate membrane In fact, they act as a
gentle stimulant and are beneficial in
some forms of alimentary difficulties.
The unpleasant symptoms from which
some suffer after eating honey may of :,
ten be removed by drinking little
milk.-Albany Cultivator.

tivity among the manufacturers Of
Wstsr-lifting appliances as is the case
at the present time. The UOlWnle Of
aOGter and the means to lift it being
assured, the redemption Of the plains
from the stigma Of aridjty is also GER
tain.
In saying this 1t must not be under
stood that irrigation of the uplands
means the irrigation of large bodies Of
land In solid areas. It is absolutely
true that under present conditions a
family can obtain a good living from
three acres of irrigated land. II q
family can within itself supply the
labor for the irrigation of ten acres, or
even hire some help, competence and
comparative wealth will be certain in q
comparatively short period. The
owner Of 100 acres, irrigsting from
three to eight acres, will always pro-
duce q living and some surplus. The
rest Of his acres for pasture, for tim
Der, for some grain, will give sddi.
tiOnsl surplus in the good years, and
his family will always have the means
and leisure to give attention to mental
improvement and be certain Of increase
Of home comforts and some of the lux.
uries of life.
The position and volume Of the sub
terrsnean waters point to the deslrs-
bility Of numerous pumping plants
scattered over the plsins-not large
ones with expensive machinery. Wind
is the cheapest motive power. 1t is
abundant on the plains. These facts
all suggest that small holdings, say the
standard 100 acres as q maximum,
worked by the owner and his family,
are those that will most economically
operate in the redemption Of the plains.

The two questions involved in the
irrigation Of the plains uplRndS are now
practically answered In the affirmative.
Can water be lifted 200 feet at 80 low

it from that depth and is there water
enough below the surface to irrigate
any proper proportion Of the large area
Of the semi.arid uplandsp Saying yeS
to both these queries, 1t may also be said
that where water is even at greater
depth, enough may bersised with COM
psratively small expense to irrigate 80

material addition to the means Of sub
slstence Of the farmers family.
The writer has no doubt of there be-
ing enough water in the tertiary for
nations previously mentioned to
irrigate 5 per cent. of the land Of large
parts Of the Western plains. The me-
chanicsl devices for raising the water
are becoming better and cheaper every

knew that the soil at the foot of the

West mountain or Bingham mining
district was as rich as the best of Utah

to keep pumps running to prevent the
lower levels from becoming flooded

and to turn the water loose over 1900
acres Of land which they have acquired,
The land is worthless without water,
but If there is enough water in the
mines, and very likely there will be,
the land will become worth 800 an

AS to the luminosity against Great
Britain, let as see whether it is deep
and just, or merely superficial"
When we were colonies she claimed
the right to "bind US in all cases what
soeVer," with no liberty of thought or
action on our part. And for eight long
years she devoted all the available
forces Of her army and navy, and all
the intrigues of her diplomacy, to en-
force her unnatural and inhuman ty-
rsnny.
Beaten in her 6rst war against US,
she provided another, on her claim to
stop American vessels on the high
seas, in time of peace, and to take
from such vessels, by force, all of our
best sailors, under the pretense that
they were, or had been, British sub
jects, because they spoke the English
language.
Beaten again at her own brutal game
of war, she bides her time, and during
our late Civil war she did all ia heI
power to divide and destroy as.
Beaten every time by the sword, she
now tries the power of her purse, and
through her system of gold standard
money, she is riVeting upon us and oul
posterity the chains of financial slavery
forever. And through the power o.
money and her Cspitslistic manage
ment of our railroads, founded or
fraud and forgery, she causes British
goods to be carried on the American
railroads cheaper than American good
are carried. By this slOuchy British
management Of our railroads, also, on
people are being killed and wounded
at the rate Of 10000 per annum-eQua
to two battles Of Shiloh every year.
These are some Of the reasons TO
our luminosity against Great Britain.
