HERDS BESET BY COYOTES.
Farmers Lose Heavily in Sections of
Fresno County.

Fresno, Cal. p Jan. 5.-The sheepmen
are complaining bitterly of the depre-
dations of coyotes in the foothills
Thousands of the pests are reported to
be scouting the foothills for food and
making serious inroads in the sheep
herds. Their nightly chorilses are also
becoming a great nuisance.
Ever since the bounty on coyote
scalps was repealed the animals have
increased in numbers at an alarming
rate, and it is understood that the
sheepmen will apply to the legislature
for relief again. Trouble is also eXper-
fenced in the western portion of the
county. On one ranch a few days ago
coyotes devoured three newborn colts
and even fought the frenzied mares.

1t was all soon explained. John

his battery, and had been taken to the
hospital, where an incompetent sur

short time he had been discharged

residence, everything, and was semi
imbecile besides. In this condition he

But the husband of her youth was

IN MEMORiAM.
Decoration Day as a Perpetual Cele-
bration of the Nation.
r. L. KETCHUM.


Memorial day is celebrated with none
the less fervor because the ranks of the
veterans are thinning from year to
year. There is enough reverence left
in the hearts of the children of the old
soldiers to commemorate the occasion
with all the tributes of floral offerings
which the heroes of the war deserved.
Let us hope that the time will never
come when this observance will be for
gotten, for Decoration day should take
its place forever with the patriotic Gel
ebration of the nation, to perpetuate
love of home and country.
If the spirits of the departed know
aught of what takes place in this mortal
life. they must rejoice that they are re-
membered, and that there is little sig
nfficance in the oft-quoted saying:
"Are we soon forgotten after we are
gomez"
1t is not glory alone that guards the
bivouac of the dead, but the living
hands CT sisters, brothers, wives, chill
dren and old comrades, who strew flow
ers upon the silent tents, and make the
resting places of the loved ones blossom
like the rose.
Mankind has been called hard, self
ish, irresponsible, but occasions like
Memorial day prove that the poet is
right when he says that lie that is
half truth is ever the blacklist of lies.
In the fierce struggle for existence men
often forget the feelings and the rights
of others, but underlying all their
harshness and self-seeking there is a
better spirit, which can be wakened in
TO life by the remembrance of deeds of
self-sacrifce and courage. Even the
dullest clod of humanity is inspired
when he hears of the brave deeds which
Memorial day recalls, and life is better
worth the living when noble, patriotic
deeds form the theme of the orators
discourse and the poets verse. The
dull round OF the familiar acts of every
day takes on new light when we are
urged not to forget the defenders of our
flag, who endured privations, disease
and death, that it might forever float
over us to remind us that heritage of
liberty is the greatest gift that can be
given an intelligent and self-respecting
people. Therefore. let Memorial day
endure, with its lesson of patriotism,
gratitude, charity and love. = Boston

NO WATER.
In the Port of Iqufque, and No Grass
Grows There.

uEO"s
With one exception the port of Iqui-
que has never been visited by a drop Of
rain. This exception was on Septem-
Der II, 1891. During the last half hour
of the prevalence of hurricane rain
followed. Despite the remarkable fact
that rain is thing unknown in the
Iquique region. not far distant seward
in the Pacific ocean, within radius of
few hundred miles, is a belt between
the confines of which incessant rains
prevail.
Not a blade of grass was ever known
to grow at Iquique, and the surrounding
country presents a barren appearance.
The houses and living apartments OF
this places are peculiarly constructed,
and little protection is necessary, the
climate being warm. Many have just
a thin substance for a roof, sufficiently
thick to keep off the hot rays of the
tropical sum- Rare sights of the primi-
tive way of conducting business in this
peculiarly barren seaport town con-
stanty meet ones eyes, the most anus
ing of which is the manner water is dis
-
visited by foreign vessels wines are the
liquids most sought after by the na-
tives. Such, however, is not the
case in Iquique. Good drinking
water is all native calls for. The water
boat from africa calls three times a
week at Iquique and pumps into huge
tanks its contents. This work is done
very rapidly, and Immediately the boat
is off again on another trip. Hundreds
of mules are employed by the authori-
ties in distributing the water 10 the
residents, who are allowed limited
quantity only.
To the backs of the mules are made
fast two large tanks, one on either side,
they being filed for distribution. Water
is too scarce to be dealt out indiscrim-
inately to those mules and they present
a pitiable sight, painting under the
strain of their heavy load, in the intense
keat, with their tongues hanging out.
Frequently they will stop on the road
way and turn their heads back and lick
from the outside of the tanks such OF
the water as has been splashed by their
jogging along.
Tt is a most expensive thing to have
clothes washed. and in many cases new
clothing can be bought cheaper than
the cost of laundering. The absence of
pasture lands and water prevents the
raising of live stock, consequently pro-
visions are very high.-Philadelph

Horse Breeding in Tennessee.

Blue grass, native to the soil, is grad
ually predominating in state where
every square foot of open land is COW
cred with grass of some kind. Watered
by plentiful springs and rills, this ter
ritory, where cattle need to be housed
only two months in the year, affords
ideal conditions for the cultivation of
live stock: and although over three mil
lions of acres of good pasturage in the
state are unfenced and scarcely utilized
Tennessee is famous for the extent and
perfection of its stock farms. One es-
adjustment alone. for breeding race
horses, is valued at S2.500,000. its oldest
