GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Generally it is better to bud stone
fruits.
Good keeping fruit requires a thick
and strong skin.
In the north lay the grape vines on
the ground in winter.
The apple or pear tree that is forked
will split sooner or later.
Whenever sweet potatoes are bruised
in the milk the milk will sour and the
potato will rot.
Never pruDe tree unless it is abso-
lutely necessary. There is no sense in
butchering a tree just for exercise or
fun.
Sweet potatoes will not keep in
moisture. They should be kept in a
dry room in a temperature not lower
than As degrees.

Yinna nn an Attractlon.

The object of plants and flowers is to
beautify, and the lover of well-ap-
pointed lawn and grounds will make no
mistake if he allows them to beautify
the commonplace objects about the
home. A trim yard of wire netting fur
nishes a most excellent trellis for vines,
while being, at the same time, orna-
mented by them. Such netting fence
affords an excellent place for the grow
ing of many kinds of grapes, while
the shade thus afforded will be most
grateful to the inmates of the yard
during the hot weather. Carrying the
utility" idea still further, one might
mention the hop vine as most suitable
to train around the doorway. If one
is trying to make his grounds look well,
it is certainly wise to avail ones self
of this easy way to lend beauty, and
even useful beauty, to what might
otherwise be an unattractive object.

the story in measure. In recent

satisfactory. The work on hand rep

marine engineering trade is also well
represented in 336. 6.co0-horsc power, or

Tho Proper Use of Uuinoes.

1t is rather curious fact about the
ounce that this fruit is less used by
itself than as an accompaniment for
other fruits. Apples, and even pears,
are much improved by having some
ounces mixed with them when cooked
or canred. Sweet apples. mixed with
one-third their bulk of ounces, make
very good pies. There are some kinds
of pears, like Bartlett and Seckel, that
are sweet, and when canned they be-,
come almost tasteless. A few ounces
put up with them greatly improves the

A card is at hand asking what kind
of building should be constructed for
keeping 200 or 800 bushels of apples.
No doubt the best shape in which APP
pies can be kept is carefully packed In
close barrels. They will be less sub
ject to changes of temperature, besides
occupying less room. No better store
house is needed than good cellar or

The temperature should be kept a lit

How foolish is the pessimist,
Despondent and forlorn,
Who always, when he gets a rose,
Goes hunting for the thorn.
The optimist has better sense:
The charm of life he knows.
He doesn't mind a scratch or two,
II he can get the rose.
So do not be pessimist,
Cankered with discontent;
The optimist has heaps of fun
THAT doesn't cost a cent.

Hard-hearted Mr.. Melick Tries to De.

| Special to The Herald.
SACRAMENTO. Jan. 29.-But little
legislation was gotten through with
today. The senate lacked quorum fol
some time, but finally the requisite
q members were herded in by the
sergeant-at arms. After disposing OF
a little business the quorum was soon
broken and an adjournment was finally
taken until Monday noon. A good deal
of committee work was subsequently
done.
In the assembly fresh shower of
new bills fell like the rain drops
outside. The resolution giving Cuba
the cold shoulder was passed after brief
debate, nearly every affirmative vote
coming from Republican. The assem-
bly, will hold short session tomorrow
and consider bills on the third reading
calendar.
Assemblyman Melick offered a reso-
to the federal government, the state to
expend no more money on it except
to keep it in fairly good condition till
Uncle Sam can take charge of it. Should
the proposition go through it would
abolish the board of nine commissioners
and save the state $4,000 in salaries,
but the resolution fails to state how the
commissioners could live thereafter.
The resolution was referred to the for

IN COMMITTEE.
The assembly committee on contested
elections met today and decided to re-
open the Hoey-PoWer contest The bal
lots will be sent for and recount made
in the capitol.
The senate committee on elections this
afternoon decided to report adversely
on the amendment to section 1858 of the
political code relative to the absence
of certain officers from the state. The
bill was framed to permit Police Com
missioner Gunst to go to Europe for
six months. The section as it stands
now permits an absence of only sixty
days from the state. There was but
one vote in favor of the bill-that of
Senator Stratton-
Sydney Hall will probably keep his
seat as senator The contest was prac-
tically decided tonight by a recount of
the ballots, which left the result as far
as Hall and Tyrrell were concerned
practically the same as when the count
began. Welch gained seven votes, which
leaves him 33 behind Hall. Tyrrell gave
up the contest when the count was over,
but Welch made the points that Hall
had violated the purity of elections laws
and that Tyrrell had got on the ticket
by fraud. Tyrrell was the Independent
candidate and got on the ticket by petit
tiOn. WelchS points were raised early
in the fight but Notwithstanding this
the matter was taken under advisement

ON THE TRAIL

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.-Postal
Inspectors Thrall and Monro left this
evening for the scene of the robbery and
will thoroughly investigate the case. In
spector Thrall comments on the similar
ity to that wherein the same train was
held up on the night of July l, 1895, thirty
miles south of the scene of last nights
affair.
On that occasion the robbers operated
in the same manner in order to stop the
train and he believes that the same
parties are responsible for both hold
ups. Five men were concerned in the
first robbery and two men were arrest
ed for their participation in it. They
were John Case and John Pool. The evil
dence against them appeared to be con-
elusive and after a trial in the United
States district court of Portland the
jury found them guilty. new trial was
demanded and Judge Bellinger, after
taking the matter under advisement for
six months, granted a new trial, stating
that in his opinion there was not suffi-
cient evidence to convict. AS the postal
officials had no further evidence the
cases were dismissed
Case and Pool have since been indicted
by the state court, but have not been ar
rested
