.l,ne Poer Lost f11s I1ea.I.

A little incident that took place the
other day at the main door of the
house of representatives resulted in a
reduction in the house force by the dis
missal Of messenger. Senator
George of Mississippi, who speaks with
a broad Southern accent, walked over
to the house to see Congressman Dins-
more. AS he was about to pass
through the door, one Of the doorkeep'
ers, not knowing the Mississippi sen
ator, laid his hand on his arm and de-
tained him.
'Here. sir, are you Representatives"
he called out.
"No, sah." replied Senator George
"I am a member. sab, of the United
States senate, and want to see Rep
resentative Dinsmore, sah.''
The doorkeeper was a resident Of the
Bowery district in New York, and had
cultivated grim sense Of humor,
which he was in the habit Of exploiting
at the expense of men with peculiari
ties. He promptly replied to the ven
erable senator:
Representative Dinsmo'; sab,
Is not upon the 1o, sab;
He went home at half-past TO-, sab,
And won't be back no mo-, sab.

Reversed Writing.

The case of John Ghidotti, six years
of age. Il pupil at the North Adams
State Street school, is attracting con-
siderable attention in that city. The
boy is considered a phenomenon by
some because every word he writes
and every figure he makes in school
are reversed, and look like the correct
writing viewed in a mirror. The boy
uses his left hand and begins at the
wrong side of the page. His teacher
has made every attempt to correct the
fault, but has not succeeded very we'll.
The boy has made correct letters, but
seemingly with as much difficulty as
one would have in initiating his mega
tive chirography. The case has been
brought to the attention of DR.. G. w.
Wright of North Adams, who is spe-
cialist on the eye. The doctor has not
met with any such case before. He
calls the case freak of nature, and
does not think that it Is caused by any
unusual crossing of the nerve fibers.
but thinks it is evident that the image
of an object appears reversed to the
boy. He prefers to leave the case to
higher authority.-Springfeld (Mass.ll

Care Of the Cau1iaower.

In cauliflower culture at heading
time the plants must be carefully
looked after. When they have attained
a diameter Of five inches, or even be-
fore, if the heads begin to crack open
it is necessary to cover them for few
days till ready for market. This cover.
ing is done by bending the leaves over
the top Of the head and fastening
them there, but not so tightly as to ex-
clude all air. The object is to keep out
the wind and rain, and even the direct
heat of the sun. There are number
Of ways of binding these leaves. One
is to fasten them by a .-;sp Of straw,
another is to fold the leaves carefully
inside Of each other and put wooden
pin through them; a third way is to
use little rubber bands. These ways
are used by some growers as marks OF
ripeness The first ripening heads are
folded one way and the later ones an.
other. So when the time comes for cut.
ting, say week after the folding, the
work can be done without unfolding
each head and looking at it to see if it
is one of those ready to cut.

Dairy Rules.

An exchange gives the following rules
for milking:
1. Work rapidly; slowness causes
loss Of cream.
g Milk thoroughly, to the last drop,
because the iast milk is tfe best.
g. Milk at the same time every day.
4. Milk crossWise, that is to say, one
fore teat on the right and hind teat
on the left, and vice versa; the milk
thus flows more copiously than by par
allel milking.
5. Milk with four fingers and not
with index and thumb, a fault too com.
mon with mixers.
e. Do not employ any kind of milk
Ing machines.
(. 10 milk young. restive cows, raise
one of the fore feet. Never strike
them.
8. Always keep the hands clean, and
also the cows udder, and dairy uten-
sils.
9. Esuring milking avoid distractins
or disturbing the cow.

"Thcy don't care. 1t isn't ignorance:
It's maiice," asserted Mamie.
But the grandmother shook her head.

SENATOR MoReAN's PLAN.

The Los Angeles Times says that a novel plan for the settlement of the Pacific railroad debts has heen intro duced by Senator Morgan in the form of a substitute for the pending bill. It provides for the appointment by the president of board of trustees to manage the roads. Four of these trustees are to be chosen from west of the Mississippi River, four from east of it, and one, who is to be the preS- dent of the board, from locality not specified. The appointments are to be confirmed by the senate, and no member of the board is to be stock holder In the roads. These trustees are to assume control of the roads and manage them as corporation, the chief object in view being, of course, the settlement of the indebtedness. A 1 per cent sinking fund is provided for, and the entire indebtedness is to be refunded at per cent in bonds running thirty years. MT. Morgan is quoted in expressing the opinion that if the plan suggested in his bill were put into operation the roads could be made to pay all their liabilities with in twenty-five years.
 Senator Morgan'S plan is at least worthy of careful consideration by congress It would have one adyan- tage over the refunding scheme, in that it would take the management oi the roads entirely out of the hands Ul those who have so grossly mismanaged them in the past,and would place them in the hands of an impartial commis- sion, the sole object of which would be to make the roads earn all they are capai le of earning. Mir. MOrgan's plan would at all events be far prefer able to the refunding scheme now be- fore congress.

DARKEST BEFORE DAWN.

Both Bradstreets and Dun's agen- cies report in their publications a serious increase in failures in 1896 over any recent year except the great panic year of 1893. Duns estimates the bankruptcies at l4,S90, an increase of twelve per cent over the previous year Bradstreets estimates the number at l5, 5,ll2an increase of sixteen per cent. The look of the matter is still more gloomy when we compare the liabilities Dun's puts them at 325 millions, an increase of twenty nine per cent over 1895. Bradstreets puts them at PIT millions ard says the increase over the previous year is afty-dve per cent. The epidemic of failures in the west at the end of the year did much to bring these figures to their appalling dimensions.
 The end of the long period Uf de- pression is likely to be marked by a wide breaking up of debilated bEsi- ness firms which have been hanging to life with a lingering hold It is like the breaking up of a boil-worst at the end. ltis the sign of a crisis and turning point in the commercial world.

 Had the editor 0f the Stockman read TIE OASIS at all closely he would have seen another item in the same issue that published the above, to the effect that at one sub-port alone near ly 27O0 head of Sonora cattle had crossed during the week. The exact number was 25S3. The duties on those cattle were paid at Nogales, the puT- chasers came here, closed the transac- tions with the sellers, and the money was paid here. Much of 1t went into immediate circulation, as the vendors are all men who do more or less trad ing at Nogales, and frequently come here for financial accommodation
