Mr.. Ba1four'S speech was a very pa
cific one on the Venezuelan matter, and
is another indication of the readiness
of England to yield sufficiently to let
the entire dispute go to arbitration
There can be no mistake about Bal
four's expression that the Monroe doc
trine is not arbitrary and that it has
in England an honest recognition. He
only contends that in the Venezuelan

quest or extension of the monarchical

The Stockton Independent" is sound
in the forecast that Congress will never
favor Government ownership of the
Central Pacific Railroad. Also in the
statement that all the cry for it comes
from parties who hope to tie up a mis-
guided press and then use the refusal
of Congress to do as they wish as a
campaign argument against the Re-
publican party. The scheme, it adds,
is to roast the party If 1t dares, as it
WILL to settle the railroad debt on busi-
ness lines, and as the business sense
of the East determines. This accounts,
according to the Independent" for
the rampant attitude Of the Exam
iner," in which position it denounces
as corrupt and purchased all who dare
to differ from it. The political agitat-

The Santa Ana Blade advises
Southern California to leave Sutro's
anti-funding convention severely alone.
1t declares that the people down there
have no grievance against the railroad,
and warns its readers that Sutro is
attempting to use the people as cats
paws to rake his private chestnuts out
of the fire. Correct.

The Chico Chronicle Record" does
not believe that the people of California
are opposed to the funding bill, but
that the agitation for it proceeds from
people who have a grievance against
the railroad company, and who are led
mainly by Sutro. The "Chronicle-Rec-
ord is level headed.

This feed box has the advan-

sweet and clean, and is es-
pecially desirable where a
horse is inclined to boiling,

The many Illustrations in this volume

splash of a drop of mercury from a
height Of three inches upon smooth
glass plate are particularly interesting.
Very soon after the first moment of i'm

rections on the surface with marvellous
regularity. From the ends of the rays
droplets of liquid split off. The liquid

divides in such manner as to join
up the rays in pairs. Thereafter the

The pratice of the wife assuming the
husbands name at marriage, according
to DR.. Brewer, originated from Rom
an custom and became the common
custom after the Roman occupation.
Thus, Julia and Octavia, married to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by the
Romans Julia of Pompey and Octavia
of Cicero, and in later times married
women in most European countries
signed their names in the same man
ner but omitted the "of." Against this
view it may be mentioned that during
the sixteenth and even at the begin
ming of the seventeenth century the us
age seems doubtful, since we find that
Catharine Parr so signed herself after
she had been twice married, and we
always hear of Lady Jane Grey mot
Dudley, Arabella Stuart mot Sey-
mourn, etc. Some persons think that
the custom originated from the scrip
tural teaching that husband and wife
ave one. This was the rule 80 far
back as Braeton died 1868, and it was
decided in the case of Bon VS.. Smith,
in the reign of Elizabeth, that woman
by marriage loses her former name
and legally receives that of her hus-
band. Altogether, the custom is in
volved in much obscurity.-Phila-

Miss Edna Booker is the heroine OF
the Rockies She is the school teach
err Of the village of Midland, and she
has just performed a deed of heroism
which, according to western editors,
cannot be too highly commended.
One of Miss Booker's pupils had pet
antelope which. like Marys little lamp,
followed the child to school each day
and waited patiently about until the
class was dismissed.
One day last week it lay, as usual,
basking in the sun at the door, while
the teacher and her children were at
work. Suddenly there was a commo-
ton, and the startled children looked
I'D to see the little animal in the
clutches Of large mountain lion.
With shrieks Of terror the tots ran to
the most distant corner and huddled
there together.
The teacher did not for a moment
lose her nerve, but started towards
shotgun which hung on the wall near

the door. To reach it she had to pass
the lion, who had dropped the antelope
and growled ominously as she ap-
preached The gun was empty, so she
had to reach her desk again to load it.
In the meantime the lion sprang to-
wards the group of children. The
brave young woman followed him, took
aim and pulled the trigger.
The recoil OF the old gun knocked
her over. but the charge had done it's
work, for the lions head was blown al
most to pieces. The pupils ran
screaming down the road with the
story, and in short time men were
in the school-house, where they found
the lion dead and the teacher safe,
but in a nervous collapse. They ex-
pressed their enthusiasm in typical
western fashion. Procuring a chair
they placed the girl in it and carried
