Crhe most economical ration. so far as
dollars and cents are concerned, would
be one which contained goodly quantity
of corn-meal, but If 1t is fed literally IN
connection with the corn fodder the ra-
ton would be TOO wide. A portion OF the
concentrated food in the ration below is
made up OF corn-meal because OF its
cheapness. considering It's value as FOOD
but IL il could be left entirely out the
ration would be better. though not quite
so cheap or II # is desirable to leave the
corn-meal. II bran could be substituted
for wheat middlings. it would improve the
ration slightly. If it is desirable not 10

IL might be we'll to use wheat middlinys
and bran as above and two pounds OF
cottonseed meal. The nutritive ration

cumstances: Old Mr.. Pargiter was rich

years his junior, fell desperately in love
with curate named Gilbrlght, and while
those two were conducting clandestine
correspondence Mr. Purgiter died, with
grave suspicious of poisoning. a,
II was alleged by the crown that Gil
bright had given him arsenic, and indeed
evidence was brought forward to show
that Gilbright had bought that poison in
considerable quantities ut n local chemists,
though his counsel oontcnded he used 1t
only for preserving birds skins, as he was
an enthusiastic and learned ornithologist.
However, IT was clear that both Giibriebt

till the rich old husband was safely out of
the way, when they proposed to marry and
live happily and virtuously over after.

THE JUBILEE CELEBRATION
Final Arrangements for the Sports
and Banuuets

The jubilee committee met last night
to hear the reports of the various sub
committees and complete arrangements
for the celebration. A reception COM
mittee was appointed to receive the Of
flcers of the British man-of-war Comus,

bration, Tuesday, June 22d, Invitations
were issued to the captain and officers

ing the British Grenadiers" and other
national airs.
The committee on transportation re-
ported that the electric railway had
agreed to run extra cars, and would pro-
vide cars for private parties on fifteen
minutes notice. The secretary reported
that the ladies in Santa Monica were
making large numbers of British flags
for the decoration of the city,. Subscrip-
tions continue to come in for the jubilee
fund, many subscribing $25 each, that
being the amount which will entitle a
subscriber to be elected life member
of the Children's Home society. 1t is
confidently hoped that the full amount
of $4,000 will be subscribed, in order to
completely relieve the Children's Home
society from its mortgage Indebtedness.
Two lots have been donated to the
committee by a prominent real estate
agent for a nominal consideration Of 81.

dren's Home society, the Newsboys'
home, the fund for the unemployed ur

ing to whichever charity gets the larg-
est number of votes. The price of each
vote is 10 cents. The original PROPOSE
tion of the donor of the lots was that he
should receive half the net proceeds Of
the sales of tickets up to 5000. Subse
quently, however. he very generously
gave the lots to the committee. and the
price of votes which had been fixed at
so cents, has been reduced to 10 cents
AT the banquet on Tuesday evening
the Rev. Haskell Smith will respond to
the toast, THE Day We Celebrate.
