DEsvER, February %, 1897.
There has been nothing of general
interest to the state in the work of
the Legislature this week. The time
in both houses has been mostly taken
up in killing crank bills and in dis
cussing the various bills introduced
granting a new charter to the city of
Denver A little side show amuse-
ment occurred in each branch over
exchanges of Legislative courtesies.
The house had their fun last Friday
when one member called another a
liar, mud came nearly creating riot
for the shoe pinched every members
feet The senate had its parallel
scene this week when one gray haired
populist called another gray haired
populist 'wind-bag."
The house has passed several I'M
important appropriation bills, killed
a large number n bills, and killed q
much larger amount of time. The
difference between the house and
the senate is that the house don't
even consider. This absence of hard
labor has encouraged the members Of
the house to hold night sessions and
thus make record
The senate has made an effort
this week to consider the new Cripple
Greek county bill, but it was at the
foot of the calendar, and so they put
in the time considering ways to get it
at the top, until to-day when they
resolved to investigate themselves,
aud see il they had been accepting
br1bes- Their report VIII be daisy
and we will gamble that they find
themselves immaculate and wonder
why their wings don't sprout.

The Free Market Project.

The San Francisco Farmers Club
has determined to push its fight for a
suitable free market on the water
front. and that the general public
might receive reliable information
regarding the advantages that would
accure in the event of its efforts reach
ing a successful termination, has issued
a bulletin containing in condensed
and concise form extracts from the
pens of a number Of its promoters.
The main object, as expressed in the
pamphlet, is to provide u better and
cheaper system of distribution, which
would. of course. vastly increase the
use of %perisbable products. and it is
beliveed that much Of this can be ac-
complished by the better control of the
commission business.
The only remedy possible, it on
tinues. is that first the producers bust
ness shall be taken away from the
premises Of the agent which he con.
trolls, and placed on other premises
which he does not control, and on
Quoted under such regulations that the
principal, at whatever distance he may
be, can ascertain without expense to
himself, and at any time after the
occurrence of the transaction, all the
essential facts attending the sale of the
produce.
The method of State control is dis
cussed and it is declared that the mar.
ket is not a scheme to get rid of the
commission men. The incidental ad.
vantages are gone over and the savings
that would resultant of drayage
alone amounting to hundreds of dollars
a day, are shown. In answer to the
statement that there is no available
space on the water front, the follow.
ing is said:
"All the water front of San Fran.
cisco available for the purpose of a
free market is now occupied. Within
this space. however. the great major.
ity of perishable products coming to
the city are now landed, and many OF
them sold. Nolmore space for ingress
of produce or egress of empties would
be required than is now used for that
purpose. Some Encouragement of the
use of the piers by different companies
might or might not be required"

Perhaps it might be well to say that
when Inauguration day falls on Sun
day, the incoming president takes the
oath on Saturday, March 8, but is not
formally indicted into office until Mon
day, March 5. This is done to prevent
a lapse in the office, for the outgoing
president has no authority as such after
~ O'Clock, noon, on March 4, whether
that date fall on Sunday or on any other
day. If, therefore, occasion should arise
between noon on Sunday, March 4, and
noon Oh Monday, March o, for the ex-
ercise of the presidential authority, the
incoming president, having taken the
oath of office, would be qualified to per-
form the duty. Such a case never has
arisen, but it might arise. -Philadel-

Summer pruning of young, uniformed
trees in California is not to be COM
mended, unless it be to thin out super
-fuous growth, says the California
Fruit Grower. Mature trees, after
their crop is harvested, may be pruned
at any time, and the sooner the better.
This pruning consists in cutting out
all dead wood, saving off any large
branches which are in the way (but
this should not be necessary if the tree
has been we'll trained), and cutting
back the two-year-old wood, always
with a slanting cut, and close to some
other shoot or branch. This applies to
stone fruits, but with plums and prunes
every other year the treatment is suffi-
cient in most cases. and with apricots
according to how they bear. Cherries
seldom need cutting back after they
are we'll grown, but old and weak
wood should be cut out. Peaches re-
quire cutting back even more. occa.
sionally, if they have borne several
successive heavy crops. Apples and
pears of mature age only need heading
back in a mechanical manner to keep
the form compact and sturdy, but
every year will require thinning out.
All of this work, thus very briefly
outlined, may be done any time after
the crop is gathered and therefore
much saving Of time and expense is
effected.

September Suggestions.

Orohardists are so busy fruit gather.
ing that they have not much time to
devote to anything else, says the Tree
and Vine.
The second brood of slugs ON the
leaves of pears and cherries may be
troublesome in September. eating off
the green of the leaves. Throwing dust
over the leaves is the simplest remedy.
The red spider or yellow mite may also
be troublesome in some places. Dry
sulphur busted thoroughly through the
tree is a specific. For an occasional
tree, a small muslin bag filled with
sulphur and handled at the end of a
long pole is all right, but for any ex.
tended operations a machine may be
arranged from a broadcast seed sower.
In the interior this should have been
done last month. but may be now
nearer the coast.

INAUGURATION DAY.
When 1t VIII Fall Upon Sundays and
What Then Happens.

From the year 1917 to the year 20e5
Inauguration day will fall on Sunday
every 28 years, but in changing from
the twentieth century to the twenty
first the 40 year period comes in. and
after 2085 the next Inauguration Sun
day will be in 2125. So, there will be
a 40 year period from 2181 to 1921 and
from 2277 to 2317, but only a 28 year
period from 1878 to 2401, as 90 is not
divisible by 4.
During any century whose number is
divisible by 4 Inauguration day falls on
Sunday A times. During any century
whose number is not divisible by 4. it
falls on Sunday only 8 times. From
1000 to 2100, for instance, it will fall
on Sunday 4 times and also from 240O
to $500, 20 and "a being divisible by 4,
but from 1900 to 1000, it will fall on
Sunday only 8 times, and SO from 2100
to 1900, 10 and 81 not being divisible
by 4. Observe that, in speaking of the
number of a century" we do not mean
the year; 20 is the number of the cen
tury-which we divide by 4-and 1000
is the year. Observe, also, that in all
this we are not speaking of the recur-
renee Of the date, March 4, but of the
particular March 4ths that are inaug-
uration days.
Here is a table showing how many
times Inauguration day falls ON each of
the seven days of the week from the
year 1900 to the year 5000:

London's Smoky Tunnels.

The chief objection to the under
ground service is the foul air In the
tunnels. Thus far no serious attempt
to introduce electric traction has been
made on the ''clrcle." Within a few
years, however, the City and South
London railway, better known as the
Greathead Underground line, starting
in the city near the monument, and div
ing beneath the Thames, has been CON
structed to the neighborhood of Ken
nington Park and 1t is being extended.
This is a double tunnel-two great iron
tubes, in fact, one directly beneath the
other-and the trains are operated and
lighted by electricity. l can testify
from personal experience that the air
Is pure and the motion of the trains
easy. Passengers are lowered to the
platforms and raised therefrom by
huge lifts. This system was the In
yention and the pet scheme of the emf
nent engineer whose name it bears, and
whose recent death was a distinct loss
to technical science.-Time and Hour. /,

In q country like California, where a

Picked Olives.

The pickled-olive industry of Cali
fornia, says Mr.. Pierce. is growing
rapidly from year to year. Two
classes of pickles are prepared-the
green and the ripe. Green olive
pickles are more easily made than ripe
ones, and, as a rule, will keep better.
AS a food, hewever. they are incom-
parably inferior to pickles made from
the mature fruit. the oil of the ripe
olive adding very greatly to It's nour-
ishing qualities and to its flavor. For
consumption within the year nothing
but mature fruit should be put up.
Ripe olives may also be kept for sew
eral years if sufficient care is given to
the picking. For long keeping and
for shipment the immature fruit is
often preserved, especially by Euro
peans.
