NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Never breed unhealthy or unsound
animals.
Good feed is necessary in raising early
fat lambs.
Ground oats make a good feed fo7
growing pigs.
A little corn fed to sheep is beneficial;
too much is detrimental.
1t is not what is eaten but what is
digested that makes bone and muscle.
After the first week after narrowing
the sows should have all that they will
eat.
Only the best sheep return a profit
while the poor ones are burden to the
others.
The easiest and best dehorning is that
which is done before the calves are three
months old.
Willful neglect and insufficient feed
are effectual bars to success with any
kind of stock.
Feeding the lambs will pay, especial
" if they are small and it is desired to
push the growth.
If dehorning is to be done in the
spring care should be taken to do the
work as early as possible.
With the horse in the proper condi-
ton depends the development of the
muscles and it's powers of endurance

Better than About Right"

Thomas Starr King, the famous
preacher and lecturer, was settled in
California at the outbreak Of the Civil
War, and to his influence Is ascribed
the change of public opinion In that
State from lukewarmness toward the
Northern cause to devoted loyalty. The
Overland Monthly has lately publish
ed an article on this famous man from
which we take an anecdote told about
Mr. King by James T. Fields.
Mr.. King. with a friend, was making
a trip through the White Mountains.
They were travelling by that most de-
nghtful of conveyances-a country
wagon. When they stopped few min
utes at the door of a New Hampshire
tavern, Mr.. Kings companion went In
to replenish their provision basket, and
he remained In the vehicle.
One Of the tall, lank. slab-s!ded Yam
KEGS that are always hanging round a
New England inn door slouched up to
the team and began altering the har-
ness, slackening a strap here and light
ening a buckle there, all unasked, un-
til Mr.. King got impatient at the length
of the operation, and said, rather sharp
ly:
You needn't trouble yourself any
more. l think that harness IL about
right"
The Yankee finished his woIk and
drawled out: "Guess rights better'n
abeaOut right"
There was no reply to this. Mr..
Kings friend returned, and he drove
of, confessing to a lesson which he
needed to learn less than most Of his
countrymen: Right" Is better than
about right"

Killed by Tn m.

A rema arkable cause Of death from
fright was the case Of the famous
painter Poutman. He was at work in
his studio, where there were a number
of deaths heads and skeletons, when
he happened to fall asleep. During his
sleep there was a slight shock Of earth
quake, and when he woke up suddenly
he saw the skeletons and skulls dancing
round in the greatest confusion. He at
once became panic-stricken, and rushed
across the room and threw himself out
OF the window on to the pavement be-
low. He died in a few days after, not
from injuries received in the fall, but
from the nervous shock given by the
dancing skeletons. though the cause Of
the festivity was explained to him.

MAY BE . Prehistoric Boat.

Mai. G.. A. VandeGrift, OF the Board
Of Administration, who was eighteen
years in the lighthouse service on the
Ohio River. tells Of an interesting relic
Of prehistoric ages that lies embedded In
the river embankment q little below
low water mark. The spot Is a short
distance from BartOn's Landing on the
Illinois side Of the river. nearly 500
miles below Cincinnati. There at the
rare intervals in which the river stage
Is at a very low point Is seen protrud-
ing from the bank and inclined at
slightly upward angle a portion Of .
fiatboat built Of oak. The timbers, A.
far as can be seen, are rough and ap-
pear to have been hewn with an un-
evenly edged tool, probably Of flint.
and are held together with wooden
pegs. The protruding portion Is small,
but there Is enough to indicate consid-
erable skill in the fashioning Of the
boat.
Maj. vandegrift and several other
officers have seen 1t only a few times in
the many years they were employed
on the river, and once they examined
it closely. The wood is now as hard as
iron, and in a splendid state of pres
ervation, on account Of having been
under the water for such q heightened
period.
From the formations of the bank and
the surroundings. which have not
changed in the slightest within the
memory Of man, the Major thinks the
subsidence that buried the boat under
the embankment must have taken
place ages ago. When telling of 1t he
said he has often regretted that he did
not make an effort to have 1t removed
and placed In a museum. Such action
may yet be taken when the fact Of the
boats existence and location becomes
more generally known.-Cincinnati

MODESTO BANK SUITS.
Shareholders Seek Refmndtng OF 1dne
Paid by the InsttfUtton.

Shdrehoiders Seek Rounding of Id1es
Paid By the Institution.
MODESTO, CAL. May 13.-This morn
ing J. E. Ward, cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank of Modesto. served subpenas
upon Supervisor G. W. Toombs, chairman
of the board in the tax cases OF the bank.
There were fifteen subpenas served, each
shareholder of the bank commencing q
separate suit. The papers served are for
the tax OF 1896, and the aggregate amount
is about $500. In a day or two subpenas
will be served for the tax collected Tor tie
year 1895, amounting to $1,000. In that
year the tax was doubled, as the County
Assessor claimed that tHe bank, not hav-
ing paid its tax the year before. was SUBJ
jsct to double taxation. In the suit TO be
instituted there will be seventeen plain
tiffs. as there were that mum ber or share
holders of the banks stock in 1895. Both
of the taxes were paid under protest and
the suits are brought for the return of the
money, since the Supreme Court OF this
State has held that the tax is illegal. The
bank made demand for the return OF the
money, but the Supervisors refused TO re-
turn the same, as it is their intention to
carry the case to the Supreme Court OF the
United States.
Mr.. Ward informed the Supervisors that
in the case of every other bank in the
State the tax had been returned since the
decision of the State Supreme Court claim
ing that the tax was illegal.

Jerry Simpson Is Sup
pressed by Speaker
Reed.
The Kansas Statesman Causes
the Vote Of the Republican
Majority to Be Divided.
Considerable Time Wasted In the
House In Rather Useless
Argument.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 13.-The
controversy between Jerry Simpson and
Speaker Reed assumed an acute phase in
the House to-day. Simpson objected to
approving the journal, and the debate on
formal motion that it be approved was
utilized by hin, to repeat criticisms upon
the Speaker and the m jority OF the House
for refusing 10 proceed under the rules
and appoint committees.
Three times Simpson was called to Or
der and twice permitted by vote of the
House to proceed "in order," enough Re-
publicans voting outright in his favor OF
refraining from voting. This was the first
time the Republican majority has been
divided this session. This apparently
emboldened Simpson. When he was
called to order again by Dingiey, Speaker
Reed made an unusually extended state
ment. The conduct and actions OF the
Speaker. he said. were not above criticism.
but the proper method to express that
criticism was by action of the House. The
Spe aker could not reply to such attacks as
had been made and it was not desirable
that he should. These repeated assaults,
to which no adequate response could be
made. were clearly out OF order and the
fact must present itself to every gen.
tleman who respected the honor and
dignity of the House.
A motion that Sim pson be again per-
m Tilted to proceed in order was made by
Terry 3D. of Arkansas, and disagreed to-
II to &c.
Upon the announcement OF the vote
Simpson said:
"Mr. Speaker: understand the chair
has ruled i cannot proceed out Of order.
By this vote the House has decided | can
pot proceed in order. l want to know
where / am at"
The Speaker (promptly)- chair has
never been able to find any body who knew
that. [Great laughter, during which
Simpson subsided.
The journal was approved, and after an
hour and half wasted in objections the
conference report on the Indian appro-
priation bill was agreed to-54 to Az
The House adjourned until Monday.
