Never was stranger or more start

FELTON, of Gainesville, Ca, before the
agricultural societyOf that state, when
she said as long as your politicians
take the COlOred man into their en-
brace on election day and make him
think that he is man and brother
so long will lynChing prevail, for
familiarity breeds contempt
eve should be sorry to believe that
the women Of the south would now be
foremost in stimulating and develop
ing that tendency to the employment
of lynch law, which has already reach
ed a point where it casts a reprOach
and a blight upon the state. If the
cOlOred man is made to feel that he is
not a man and brother how can he be
blamed for acting the part assigned
him i'm some times being a brute. Per

Sparrowx Kill a Pigeon.

This story deals with the sagacity and
pugnacity of the English sparrow, and
also shows how curiosity may get an in
nccent creature into trouble. The Rid
die mansion, that stands in Glen Rid
die, Delaware County, has for some time
been the nesting place of several famil-
les of sparrows, and the birds had be-
come a regular pest. One day last week
Miss Riddle decided to get rid of the
birds. and, mounting a ladder, she tore
out at least dozen nests from the caves

then dispersed.
A stray pigeon that had been roosting
around the place for several days came
back late in the afternoon and flew
under the porch caves as usual. The
pigeon evidently noticed something
wrong. for several times he flew from
the porch to where the dismantled nests
Ilay.. This caused the trouble, for the
angry sparrows noticed it and suspected
the pigeon of being the cause of their de-
spair The first thing the unlucky pig
con knew he was attacked by at least
twenty screaming sparrows, who began
pecking at him, and despite brave re-
sistance the sparFows came off victor

Trying to Make Diamonds.

The experiments of MoisSan and his
success in producing microscopic crys-
tails of carbon, which, technically at
least. were entitled to be called artifi-
cial diamonds, are well known We now
have further contributions to the sub
ject of the crystallization of carbon by
the well-known electro chemist, DR..
Borchers. who contributes an article to
The Zeitschrift fur Elektrochemie, re-
viewing the past attempts in this direc-
ton and describing his own experiment.
Moissan worked upon the line of crystal
liZation of fused carbon under immense
pressure, while Borchers attains the
same or similar results by maintaining
carbon rod at the high temperature
of the electric furnace for considerable
time, the surface of the rod showing
distinct evidences of crystallization.
The experiments have been carried out
upon a small scale only, and, being un-
able TO continue the researches, DR..

method and apparatus, trusting that

Chief Clerk w. T. Treleaven of the
Santa Fe freight office. brings the fol-
flowing story with him from his Western
trip:
when the train stopped at Larned,
Kan. / heard a voice say, in a tone of
command: Come out of there!' / looked
out of the car window and saw an old
man holding tramp who was just
crawling out from the trucks under a

"Then it dawned on me. The old
man was out catching farmhands for
the harvest field. A moment later
younger man came up and tried TO hire
the tramp, but the old farmer drove him
away, saying the tramp was his by right
of discovery, and he proposed to keep
him or fight The conductor told me
such occurrences are common at present
and that there are fsw stations along the
/ line in the grain belt but have a crowd
of farmers around them at train time,
hoping to be able to catch a tramp for
the harvest fields. 1t is work or jail

A WISE DECISION.

The action of the State Board Of
Agriculture on Saturday in ruling the
book-makers off the track was wise.
This year there viii be at the track
only auction pools and Paris Mutuals.
This win give great satisfaction TO
breeders of fine horses, as they have
felt that the book makers are reduc-
ing the race track to a simple gambling
proposition. which would in the end
ruin their business. Under the pool
system the bettors make the odds, in
stead of the book-makers. The pre-
miums hung UP at the State Fair for
races are intended TO encourage the
breeding of good horses. and the speed
contests must be conducted in such a
manner as to be above suspicion. The
people have little confidence in book
makers, and there is no question but
that their advent upon the track has

The statement, originating with some
of the hasty San Francisco press that
the decision of Los Angeles court
requiring wife having ample means to
support her invalided husband is novel
and without precedent, is erroneous. The
law always has been through modern
times, as the Les Angeles court laid
it down. A wife having financial abll-
ity to care for her husband who
is incapacitated, never is permitted by
consent of the law to cast the burden
of support upon society. More than
this, brother and sister having ability
can he compelled to contribute to the
support of their brothers and sisters
who are incapacitated. So, too, with
