The San Francisco Chronicle says
that the new charter Of San Jose will
provide that no man be retained as
an employe of the city who does not
pay his debts. This provision is a
practical way Of saying that without
private integrity there cannot be pub
lie efficiency, measuring service as it
ought to be measured. A man untrue
to himself, as is a shiftless or criminal
debtor, cannot be expected not to break
faith in some way with the community.

there was no wood he used whales

Athletic Feats on the Noon.

with which you could astonish our
luminary, neighbors, providing grav-
itation would have no more effect
accordingly there then here? Let
US figure: The moon only weighs
one-eightieth part IS much as the

be corrcspondingly less. If, there
fore, man weighed 40 pounds on
Ibis earth he would weigh bnt
fraction over 20 pounds according

ic aud muscular feats. He would
be able to shoulder an elephant Of
the regulation size, and TO yank a
small mountain out by the roots.
The bouyancy Of his body would be
SO great that athletic feats would be
easily accomplished. He could run

seconds, or could by single bound
leap oyer a wall "a feet high with

A Real Curiosity.

We have always heard it said that a
Billy goat could live upon brown paper
cigar stumps and oak chips; that an
alligator had relish for pine knots
and log chains, but it was only on
Tuesday that we found out that a COW
was more than an herbiverous animal.
Mr.. Jno. D. Lormand, living four miles
from town, killed a fat. COW on that
day and in cleaning the tripe was sur
prised to find it gridironed with nails
of three or four sizes, two or three
ladies' hairpins and number of wire
staples. These articles showed signs
of having been in the folds of the tripe
for some time. but had not perforated
the walls of the stomach. The animal
was butchered to eat and was fat and
healthy. Perhaps the iron acted as a
tonic and thereby promoted the health
of the beast. There is no fake about
this story, because a part of the tripe
was brought to our office, and it was
evident that these articles were sWal-
lowed by the cow in grazing around
the premises. Query, would not these
fragments of iron, eventually, have
caused the death of the cow?- Crowley
