CHILDREN's SAYINGS.

Said an indignant mother to her lit
tie son: why did you strike little FL
sic, you naughty boy?'
Dick, indignant in his turn: What
did she want to cheat for, them"
How did she cheat?" asked mamma,
more mildly.
Why" explained Dick, I'VE were
playing at Adam and Eve, and she had
the apple to tempt me with, and she
never tempted me, but went and ate

Admiral Walkers commission re-
ports that the Nicaragua Canal can
be completed for $125,OOO,OOO. The
canal is to be 10 miles long, CT which
about 100 is in Lake Nicaragua. The
Erie Canal is 1926 miles long and cost
$52, 100000 only with all improve
ments. The Suez Canal is rinety-two
miles long and cost c102, OOO,OOO But
-'>Sesa55SiCaragua Canal, ITO miles long,
would save 10000 miles in the route
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It
would have saved that to the Oregon
on her trip to JOIN the feet, it would
save that to her now on her trip with
the Iowa to Manila. It is an important
question whether it would not save
its cost in short time by shortening
thus the route for ships. We may see
the day when it will be supremacy i'm
portant to concentrate our battleships
on one sea coast and there will be no
time in which to send them 1000
miles around the Horn, observes the
New York Commercial Advertiser.

Agricultural fairs are amongst the
most important factors in the develop
mont of an agricultural country.
There are those, however, that have
small beginnings, and gradually keep
on increasing in both size and impor-
lance, and their success and influence
are lasting. There are others, again,
that commence at the other end, with
great Flourish of trumpets," and
they frequently keep on decreasing,
and ultimately vanish for want Of sup
port. The successful agricultural fair
with the small beginning is generally
inaugurated by the agriculturist him
self, and purely in the interests Of
agriculture; the other is usually got
ten up by individuals of entirely DIFF
ferent occupations, for an altogether
different object, but with agriculture
as cloak. Hence the true object Of
the fair is defeated, and it becomes
defunct for lack of support from those
who alone can make it success-the
farmer and the stock raiser.

The handling of bread by bakers
and their assistants is one of those
things which people who are particular
in regard to what they eat are con-
stantly discussing, with a view to get
ting change made in this direction
Of what they regard as cleanliness, but,
it must be confessed, with little if any
success. In Berlin, Germany, how.
ever, the public agitation on the sub
ject has resulted in solution of tho
difficulty which precludes the posi-
bility of unclean hands touching the
loaf. This consists in using paper
bags made to fit tie shape of the loaf,
but rather larger. AS soon as the loaf
is taken from the oven it is at once
put into the bag, the ends of which
arc twisted, thus preventing tho posi-
bility Of it's contents being defled
either by dirty hands or by gathering
dust in its transits through the streets,
or from being allowed to fall on dirty
pavements, as SO frequently happens
with careless boys who deliver She
daily loaf at our doors. The idea
might be fifty emulated by bakers IN
this country, for paper bags are cheap.

Professor Wiloy,sof Illinois, claims
to have discovered a process for max
ing paper from cornstalks. If his
claim is correct, Professor Wiley has
rendered a great service to mankind.
Cheap paper implies several large
things, and all benefcent. 1t means
cheap books, cheap newspapers, cheap
popular education. Paper from corn
stalks and corn husks means O new
and vast revenue to the farmers of the
United States from source that will
cost them nothing additional. 1t will
coin waste product into money for q
class of workers with whom money is
never too plentiful. 1t will mean the
preservation of our diminishing for
ests for other uses than being ground
into pulp. Fuller information re-
specting Professor Wiley's discovery,
Or invention, will be awaited with the
keenest interest by everybody who un-
derstands its very great Importance.
If he has found new fibre for paper
making, not only is he benefactor.
but he is destined to be q millionaire,
observes the New York Journal.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
says: We are in the habit of thinking
of Russia as a compact, powerful na-
ton, able to crash any other single
nation on the face of the earth. On
paper she has the largest army, and it
would seem that just by mere force Of
numbers she ought to prove irresis-
tibIe. But when we consider that
there are considerably more than 100
nationalities in Russia, and that more
than fifty languages are spoken there,
the idea of solidarity vanishes and we
see the elements OF weakness in an
oYergroWn monster.

A problem under consideration in
Providence, and doubtless in other
cities as well, is how to make ends
meet financially in the public school
management. There are only two
ways, one to trim down the system to
meet the revenue, the other to in
crease the taxes. Only one of the
two ways was open to the Providence
school committee, which has voted to
dispense with certain parts of the sys-
tenn. Supervisors in drawing, in sew
ing, and the like have been dropped,
and these branches, if taught hereaf-
ter, will be under the direction Of the
general teachers, who may know little
or much about the specialties. An
other stroke in economy was in the
abandonment of the evening schools,
step which many will regard as IN
wise. Industria! conditions in Rhode
Island are peculiar, however, and the
school committee may have been in
fuenced by the feeling, expressed in
the Providence Journal, that the even
Ing schools afforded an opportunity
for many eanny people to mako money
getters Of their children during the
day, while complying with the law re-

A report from GEORGETOWN. BIRTHS,

A report from Georgetown, British
Guiana, to the Commercial Museum
calls attention to the anomalous fact
that while the United States send
mules and horses to that country, the
harness is still supplied from Glasgow.
As our workmen can certainly COM
pete with the Scotch artisans in this
branch of industry there is no con-
ceivable reason why British Guiana,
which since we have acquired the
Antilles is our noighbor, should not
turn to this market not only for her
harness but for all her industrial sup
plies.

An illustration Of the thoroughness
with which experiments are conducted
in State agricultural stations is had in
the poultry school in connection with
the Rhode Island State College at
Kingston. It is conducted entirely on
business principles, and keeps in touch
with poultrymen by working out
everyday problems in o practical way.
Limited in It's expenditures, it has to
adopt the expedients of many needy
farmers in using materials at hand.
For instance, its chicken-houses ore
made from odds and ends of lumber,
one of the buildings being skilfulIy
CONSTRUCTED Of barr. .ctsTes. Many
new ideas in connection with poultry
farming are expected to be developed,
particularly in the matter Of feeding.
The investigator in charge, Professor
Brigham, is not bound by hereditary
traditions. He belives that much of
the ceremony and fixing about q hen
house is not strictly necessary. He
finds that the hens will lay we'll with
neither fixed nest-box nor nest-eggs,
also that fiat board platform is fully
as good for most breeds as the joists
usually employed for roosts.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 2O.-With
hands and feet securely tied and each
weighted a body was found floating in
the Willamette River at Salem to-day.
The discovery was made by boys in
a rowboat. The Coroner was notified
and he held an inquest on the river
bank opposite Salem this afternoon.
The body was found to have been
wounded by blunt instrument in the
forehead. There was stab below the
right jaw and evidence Of a hard blow
in the mouth, breaking the upper jaw.
In the pocket was a business card of
William Gadsby, house furnisher, rep
resented by McGrath, Portland" A
business card of 'R. H. Weeks, warm
air furnaces" was also carried. An ex-
cursion railroad ticket on the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company

the body.
Elmer Herritt, living two miles from
Salem, recognized the weights as those
taken from a patent gate at his farm
on the night of September or 10. The
rope with which the hands and feet
were tied was recognized as belonging
to the same gate. The parties taking
the weights and ropes came in a buggy
and left in the direction of Salem.

Special Dispatch to The Cali.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 20.-After a
thorough investigation County Veterinary
Surgeon Wise declares that Texas fever is
raging among cattle along the Mojave
River. The numerous deaths among
stock in that region, which have been
noticed for some time, were supposed to
have been for lack of feed resulting from
the drought. AT last j. j. Cuddeback, a
prominent stockman, owing herds about
Soda and Rock Springs, appeared before
the Board of Supervisors and asked for
an investigation
Wise was sent out and found hundreds
of head dying, their condition being
appalling. The infected cattle have been
driven up from Fosters ranch, near
Capistrano, San Diego County, owing to
the lack of feed in that district. In stock
known as immunes the disease is not de-
about the size of the two first joints of
the, finger, burrowing into the animal s
flesh.
When the cattle are about to die the
tick drops to the ground and matches out
myriads OF others, which communicate
which have had the fever and survived
the action of the tick, are unframed
Wise found large number of herds in
fected. Already about 800 head are dead
and as many more are dying. The only
remedy known is spraying with crude oil
tablished and infected herds will not be
allowed to move from the locality Some
cattlemen object to the quarantine. as it
interferes with grazing, but the step is
necessary to prevent the further spread of
the dread disease in the county. Notice
the further importation of cattle bearing
the disease.
