FOR ATHLETICS.
Marysville Appeal: The spirit of the
age is for more athletic amusements.
1t must be admitted that such methods
OF diversion as are encompaSsed by out
door contests are to be encouraged as
instilling manly bearing in our sons,
and incidentally as q means of much
satisfaction to the old folks and the
girls who assemble whenever opportuni-
ty presents to see the boys contest in the
various outdoor sports which are now
so popular.
AS athletics increase the era of mar
row chested. pale faced, cigarette
smoking youth will decline, as to excel
IN such sports requires health and
strength on the part of the participants
COUNTERFEITIN SILVER DOL
LARS.
Los Angeles Times: A San Francisco
dispatch states that counterfeit silver
dollars, of SO excellent a make as to de-
celve even the bank experts, are in cir
culation there. They are genuine, as
regards the amount of silver they con-
tam, the most noticeable flaw being in
the milling, which is defective in places
The statement that coins of this de-
scription are in circulation is not sur
prising. 1t is probable that San Fran
cisco is not the only town where they
pass current, but that they are in cir
culation, to a greater or less extent,
throughout the country. AT the low
price which has prevailed for silver
bullion for some years past, there is a
good profit in the private manufacture
of silver dollars of full weight and fine
ness. At the present price of the bull
ion this profit would be nearly or quite
100 per cent on the cost of material.
This is certainly handsome profit, well
calculated to act as strong induce
ment to counterfeiters.
The business is of course somewhat
risky, as it is just as much a violation
OF the law for private parties to manu-
facture coins of full weight and fine
ness as it is to manufacture them out OF
the baser metals. The safety of the
business Is mere question of perfec-
ton of workmanship. OF course, II
counterfeit coin precisely like the gen.
uine could be produced, detection would
be practically impossible, ana the Dusl-
ness would afford a margin of profit
far larger than that of most OF the le-
gitimate industries.
A counterfeit gold coin is easy of de-
lection. AS the amount of bullion in a
gold coin is the same in value as the
coin itself, there would of course be nc
profit in manufacturing such coins OF
standard fineness and weight. Basel
metal must be employed, and that is
easily detected. But the counterfeit
ing of silver coins will offer an attract
i've field for persons disposed to engage
in that dubious industry so long as there
is a wide margin of difference between
the bullion value and the minting val

would have secured for his gospel
better reception. But that suggestion
Of cultivating the taste for fruit eating
at home at all seasons did meet with
response and some organizations here
and there resulted which have since
died out unquestionably. We do not
in this mild climate Of California eat
enough of raw and prepared home
fruits, and we do consume more of
starchy and meat foods than is de-
manded by the laws of health. Per-
haps something of the sentimental,
therefore, might be cultivated after all
in this matter, combined with the
health conserving idea to encourage
greater consumption Of the products OF

Count Won Der Lille is the present hero
All others, departed and living, are
shadowed by him. He is a statesman
in the Austrian Reichsrath, and when
the row began in that body the other
day, he set about to separate the po-
litical antagonists who had fastened
upon each others throats He had
heard of parting fighting dogs by pour
ing water over them. Why would not
the same remedy serve in the case of
Austrians? Especially why would it not
answer when the aversion of the aver
age Austrian statesman to water was
taken into account? He therefore
dashed between the fighting fellows, and
from an official pitcher poured cold wa
ter over their heads.
The application worked well. The un-
expected visitation astonished the COM
batants and alarmed them at the same
time. They withdrew to mop their faces
and peace was restored. At that instant
portunity the heroic Won Der Lille had
created. The Count should be done in
marble by order of the Emperor. His
statue should be reared in the chief
park of Vienna. It should picture Won
Der Lille rampant, bearing aloft pitch
er from which pure water pours over
two struggling men, grappied below.
The Vienna incident should serve us in
this country well. Hereafter the Speak
ers of legislative bodies. the Chairmen
of assemblies, and the presiding officers
OF all public meetings, should be pro-
vided with stout dippers with ball-bear-
ing handles. Filled with water, this
piece could be welded with excellent ef-
feet in restoring order and promoting
rapidity of action and calmness of de-
bate, and become the symbol of author
ity instead Of the well-worn gavel.

UTILIZATION OF DOG POWER

The State Department Of the United
States has decided that the dog should
be set to work. Accordingly II VIII
give to the people a report upon that
subject. showing how much work the
dog can do the kind Of service in which
he may be proitably employed, and to
what extent he is now industriously
engaged in various countries Of the
world
The truth is that the dog is far more
a worker than most people give MIN
credit for being, and it is also true that
we employ him less than any other
peoples, except only those Of the ORR
ent, He should be made to do some
of the load drawing and burden carry
ing as in northern lands, in Switzerland
and Alpine sections. He should be
made use of as a motive power in small
mills, as in England, Scotland and
to carry messages, to stand guard, TO
draw vehicles as in Belgium and he
can do much labor now put upon the
horse as can be witnessed in Antwerp
and Brussels.
Certainly we in America have not
utilized dog-power as we might have
done, and now should do. 1t is cheap
power, faithful power; it calls for less
care and attention than most other
animal power; 1t calls for less output
of original capital. These are the
ideas entertained by the State Depart
mept probably, since it has determined
to quicken public attention on the sub
ject of using the dog as draft animal.
The occasion for this new interest is,
of course, the demand for stout ours of
all orders for use in Alaska, and the
new mining sections of British North
America.

Rebuilding of the Water System at North
WaIpOle.

The North Walpole Aqueduct company
has decided to entirely relay their old
water pipes with much increased size.
A great deal of the present system is the
same pipe as originally laid by the late
Nathaniel Munroe when he owned it, and
is entirely inadequate to the increasing de-
mands, and particularly for any fire pro-
lection. The rapid growth OF that village
the past few years makes necessary a num-
Der of expensive improvements. The size
of the new pipes are to be six and eight
in ches, and Of iron. The p pc has already
been contracted for from r. D., Woods &
company of Philadelphia, and is on its way
here. The contracts for laying have been
made with Messrs. Edgell & Farnham, the
well known contractors of Boston, who will
probably employ local help if they can be
secured as cheaply as others. The cost to
the owners of the new improvements is to
be about $4,000, but the public will fully
appreciate it.
They have decided to put in the "T's''
tor hydrants at the proper places, and will
raise the reservoir above its present heighth
SO as to give more force for fire protection
should the village decide to put in the
hydrants. A meeting OF the voters will
probably be called in the near future to
see if the village want fire protection,
which it is now possible to have at com
paratively small expense. Certainly the
voters should not hesitate upon So import.
ant question as the proper protection o.
their village from fire.
1t is expected the pipe and the contract.
ors will be here MT xt week, ready to com.
mence work and push it along as rapidly
as possible.

The Kurn Hattln Homes.

Last Sunday the morning services at the
Universalist church were given up to the
interests OF the Kurn Hattin Homes at
Westminster and goodly audience greet
ed the boys and those. who were to speak
for them. Rev. G. II. DeBevoise, financial
agent Of the institutions, spoke earnestly
upon the necessity and advantages of look
ing after the boys and girls who are with.
out proper homes. James MAYNARD, the
teacher, spoke of these institutions in par
ticular and Of the work done there, giving
a full description of their model city gov
eminent and various enterprises. He
brought with him five of the boys from the
institution who sarg and spoke in very
acceptable manner. The services through
out were of deep interest to those present,
and the position of the homes was ad-
vanced in the minds of the audience.
There are now at the home 80 boys be-
sides four who are out at work upon farms
in the vicinity, and there are seven girls at
the girls home in the village. 1t is hoped
funds enough may be available soon to
open the home owned by the organization
