a efeat Crisis.

Especial Correspondence to the Press
Layton. N. j., May Al see a
correspondent in the Gazette says
the Farmers Club at Montague hopes
to engage the Centreville merry-go-
round for the 4th of July. 1t is evil
dent that this is a strategic move
ment that if not prevented will drop
the anticipated celebration in Mil
ford with thud like a cold pancake.
It would be a great drawing card,
and if the celebration committee
doesn't give it their prompt atten-
ton the Brick House Farmers Club
will snuff their candle sure. The
manager is having a great struggle
to substitute something that will
take the place of the Port Jervis
timber that was in it before. Alas
the -go-round misfortunes
seem to go with it. The frantic eff
forts of its manager to reconstruct
it in time, has so drawn upon his
gray matter that he has become
subject to hallucinations the most
sad of which is that he thinks at
lllutS ut lS lllt MllplG -zO-
round. The different parts of the
old machine do not seem inclined to
come together right, and this is very
trying, and seems to worry the
manager. However with liberal
doses of that " bottled lightning :"
no doubt he will make a very fair
merry -go-round of himself. While
,,r,-fr,-,,,i,,rr he eo1o,,,,, ,ffr,.f, T., ,.o
vOlve around himself would be
amusing if it was not that he ina
gines the bar-room extends all over
town, and as the stove will not move
along he misses his pivot occasional
ly. He has been recently taking
lessons how to talk while the
machine is In motion, but it has so
far been a ridiculous failure, the
grist it turns out being principally
nonsense. After the manager cul-
tiyates his own gray matter little
more, or eats a sufficiency of salt
cod, he may be able to transfer a
little brains to the merry -go-round,
after which we may expect better
results. We would suggest an au-
bOllldblO DIuhO dS ltlb VI LIS Oquip-
ment before appearing before the
Brick House Farmers Club. 1t
seems the machine is pretty sure to
get beyond control, and the conse-
quent runaway, and smash up, en-
tails a long and complicated job up
an the manager, which does not al
ways tend to improve his equilibri-
um. 1t is accepted as n fact that
landlord Montross doesn't care to
have the merry-go-round to runa-
way again on his premises, and it is
therefore concluded that any other
landlord who desires it can secure
the whole business very cheap, man
ager and all fixins, by taking them
away and setting them up again
and again. We are sorry to chroni-
Gle that though the manager has as
siduously applied ice under his hat,
and Jersey lightnieg under his nose
since he moved, he still remains in
the same critical condition as above
mentioned. Hoping he may so far
improve as to be able to pick his
teeth without standing on his head,
before this appears in print, l am
abundantly yours. CRITIC.

ot living roots in a single colony is sometimes very large. Athrifty hill dug in a sandy wash near Tucson recently yielded 9l roots, weighing about $ pounds, while cultivated hill three years old, from Phoenix, gave S7 roots weighing I75 pounds.
 As they grow older, the roots be- come more and more dormant, show ing less tendency to throw up shoots of their own, but maintaining feeble vitality through their connection with younger roots. In Nature the old roots seem to serve as a safeguard agains extermination, being less easily affected by adverse conditions. They also seem to be concerned in the work of seed production since it appears, other things equal, that good seed stalks are associated with strong old roots. Seeding roots do not DOT duce seed during their first year of growth.
 The seeds, especially in arid situa- tions, are largely infertile. In this section wild seedlings have not been observed though said to be common in certain moist localities of New Mexico and California. In one trial of mixed wild and cultivated seed, two years old, sown in drills one half inch deep, nine per cent came up. In Nature canaigre Is spread by oc- casional seed germination and by accidental scattering of roots, but Is maintained in place by it's peculiar root system"

NUMBER 3 9.
The Local NeWSpai e.

The importance of supporting the local newspaper Is not felt as keenly as 1t should be by the dwellers in tha smaller cities and towns. The News- papeTmoR, a paper devoted to the profession of letters, believes that the newspaper Is Tn reality as important a factor in local prosperity as the church. It's influence Is brought to bear for the benefit of its locality in many ways that the church does not compass.
 The intelligence and relative posi- tlon of one town as compared with others Is to be accurately gauged by the quality of it's newspaper and the amount of confidence they inspire The newspaper of a town usually pre- sent good evidence of the moral stand ard which governs it; for that news. paper which gives its constituency what that constituency demands is of the only kind which has stability.
 A town which can show we'll SUD- ported newspaper, means town whosa inhabitants are quick-witted people of keen, active interest in what con- cerns them and their neighbors while one of which newspaper drags out wearily generally argues itself the abode of people with sluggish liyers or torpid temperaments, to whom the world presents little interest beyond the limited range of experience inn mediately bounded by their own senses.
 The excuse which IS sometimes of fered that the local paper is not of sufficient interest to warrant the ex- penditure of the small price of it's subscription, should avail these short sighted moles nothing. Such people should be told to patronize the homo industry and foster it's growth into g more preteItious affair by their en- couragement. Newspaper men arc not slow to respond to encourage lnent; Ill uinety-nine cases out of q hundred their hearts are in their work and they need but the sign of . dispo- sition towards It to call forth their best efferts.
 The newspapers status in town Is an index to most of those qualities by which one judges Of it's desirability as place of residence and its commercial prosperity.
 It is the positive duty of every man to help make his town known, in crease its prestige and add to it's repu tatlon of being live, wide awake place, by subscribing to the local newspaper.

TO TEACH IMMORTALITY.
Joaquin Miller J

Joaquin Miller.) What if we all lay dead below;
 Lay as the grass lies, cold and dead In Gods own holy shrOud of snow,
 With snow-white stones at foot and head With all earth dead and shrouded white As clouds that cross the moon at night? What if that infdeI some night
 Could then raise up and see how dead, How wholly dead and out of sight
 All things with snows sOwn foot and head And lost winds wailing up and down The emptied fields and emptied town? think that grand old infdel
 Would rub his hands with hendish glPe, And say: "I knewit, knew it well .. knew that death was destiny; ate, drank, I mOcked at God, Then as the grass was and the sod." An me, the grasses and the sod,
 They are my preachers. arthem preach When they forget the shroud, and God Lifts up these blades of grass to teach The resurrection! Who shall say What infidel can speak as they?

A Drop of Water.

The water which Is now in the ocean and in the river has been many times in the sky. The history of a single drop taken out of glass of water is really romantic one. No traveller has ever accomplished such distances in his life. That particle may have reflected the palm trees of coral islands, and has caught the sun ray in the arch that spans a cloud clearing away from the valleys of Cumberland or California. It may have been carried by the Gulf Stream from the shores of Florida and Cuba, to be turned into a crystal of ice beside the precipices of Spitzbergen. It may have lowered over the streets of London, and have formed part oE the murky fog, and have glistened on the young grass blade of April in Irish fields. It has been lifted up to heaven and sailed in great wool-pack clouds across the sky, forming part of a cloud mountain echoing with thunder. It has hung in heeoy veil many miles above the earth at the close of long seasons of still weather. It has dropped as feecy snow in the high Sierras, has washed gold in Nevada Co, furnished cleo tricity at Sacramento, glistened in the sunlight of San Francisco bay, raced through the Golden Gate. hissed in spray on the Farallones, or swept over the bow of vessel rounding Cape Horn. It has descended many times over in showers to refresh the earth, and has sparkled and bubhled i'll messy fountains in every country in Europe. And 1t has returned to its native skies having accomplished it's purpose, to be stored once again with electricity to give 1t new life-pro- ducipg qualities and equip it as heavens messenger to earth once more.

A Cap for Some People.

Every newspaper is cursed with an occasional lbscaiber whose soul seems to have been made of JAe flag end of material, and Q scrimp pattern atthat. The publisher is always thankful when such lift them selves from his list. The sooner the better They generally refuse to take the paper out of the postoffice after talk ing 1t for two or three years without paying cent for it-a plain steal with insult added, or else they move away without saying word or pay ing a nickel. Some others discover all at once that they never ordered the paper, never wanted 1t, or received 1t irregularly-nOt more than half the time-won.t pay for 1t. In either case it is 8 cowardly snap, such as an honest man would not be guilty of. The proper way to stop paper is to pay up and then stop it afterward' If you are a gentleman, and don't owe cent, walk into the office, look the gentleman in charge full Tn the eye, and tell him you don't wish it, or can't afford to keep it longer. If you are on the hog plan, chuck it back into the postoffice and have it sent back marked "refused "-Las Vegas Optic.

Women are no longer to be permitted
to take any official part either as soloists
or as ordinary choristers in the musical
portion of the services of the Catholic
church, an exception, however being
made in favor of the chapels of con-
vents A pastoral letter to this effect has
just been addressed by Cardinal Rich
ard, archbishop of Paris and metropoli-
tan and primate of France, to the bish-
ops and clergy subject to his ecclesias-
teal jurisdiction, and he bases his direc-
tions in connection with the matter upon
explicit commands lately received from
the congregation of rites at Rome. One
would imagine, however. that there
will be very serious protest before such
a ukase is recognized in this enlightened
country.
The practice. nevertheless, of intrust-
ing the solos of the most solemn portion
of the high mass to any operate star
or travelling cantatrice that is looking
for free advertising, certainly demands
discouraging. AS matter of fact the
rigid rules in Rome have never been re-
