On the North Fork of Cache Creek. in
Lake County, California, there lives an
old Withered Indian woman, Boo-Tchf-
ia by name, who is popularity supposed
to be at least 40 years old She was a
very old woman in 1850, when Lieuten-
ant Lyons punished the Indians of that
county for the murder of Stone and
Kelsey, two early settlers on Clear
Lake. "Old Zeb," an Indian who is over
100 years of age, is the youngest son of
BOO Tchi-Ka, who had a family of
eight children, all of whom are long
dead except Zeb. Zeb's great grandson
is man over so years of age, and his
own numerous years are pretty well
proven by records and the memories of
many old white people who when chill
dren knew "Old Zeb'' and his phenom-
enally aged mother. -Tchi-Ka is
totally blind and deaf and for years has
made no effort at communication with
any one. She cannot walk without as
s1stance, and is cared for most kindly
by her tribespeople, who regard her
with supertstitious awe.

over a hundred years ago. The real
name of this Indian is not known, even
to his best friends now living. Those
who once knew it are all dead and the
present generation has never been able
to learn it. For some reason best known
to himself he refuses to tell.
Old Parito was a full-grown man
when the Mexicans rebelled against
Spanish rule in 1910. He was then
known as a young man, but he fought
with his tribe in that war, and says

Secretary Alger Defended.

WAsH1NGToN, July 26. Senator EIkins
of West Virginia who was secretary of
war under the Harrison administration, is
in Washington. Discussing Secretary
Alger's retirement from the Cabinet he
says: "Secretary Alger was Secretary of
War during the conduct of the most sue
cessful war in the history Of the United
States. He achieved the greatest results
in the shortest possible space of time.
Its quick and victorious conclusion, while
he was at the head Of his department, is
fact that stands out most prominently
and cannot be disputed. OF course, there
were mistakes. There are always mis-
takes, but in this particular war the mis-
takes were infinitely small compared with
the great results accomplished
Secretary Alger," continued the Sena-
tor, speaking deliberately and with EN-
phasis, ''has been compelled to endure a
series of undeserved, not to say brutal as
saults. He did not deserve the harsh
things said of him, but he bore them brave
ly, standing manfully under the abuse
which might otherwise have been throw L
at the President.
Time will vindicate him. There will
be reaction in his favor. l say these
things all the more readily because Secre-
tary Alger and | have not been in the
same way of thinking in our party. | am
no apologist for him and don't want to be
drawn in any controversy, but may l
never hesitate to do justice to any man"

A Health Warning.

The New York World finds in the SINH
lar deaths of Roswell P. Flower and Col.
Ingersoll a warning against overeating and
inadequate exercise. Both men, it says,
sled sedentary lives" Both had great
deal of superhous flesh. Both had large
appetites and apparently superb diges-
tions Both died of ''heart trouble. :"
The World thinks heart trouble means
simply stomach trouble. The overloaded
stomach gives the heart too much to do.
1t endures the extra exaction put upon it
until the strain becomes too great, and
then it suddenly ceases action, and death
comes. We recall an instance where a
man lived to advanced age by simply bear
ing these facts in mind. The late F. w.
Bird had a weak heart for more than thirty
years. He used to say: "The trouble is
not in my heart. Physicians have told me
it is, but l know better. 1t is in my
stomach" He always acted on this con
viction, and his diet was of the most alb
stemious character. With this precaution,
he lived to be over eighty years, and did
not die of heart trouble then. Boston

The Sh amrock's Atlantic Voyage.

GREENocK, July "a. Elaborate prepar-
ations are being made here for the Sham
rock Ks Atlantic voyage. She will be ketcl
rugged and her hull will be strengthened
by novel and specially designed system
of screw braces and trusses. Her hull will
be strapped from end to end with heavy
stays, and screw trusses will then be led
from side to side and screwed out until
they bear hard against the stays. Similar
screw braces will be led from the bilge to
the deck, and when all are screwed up the
hull will be secured against all chance of
working, straining or giving i'll any direc-
ton. The deck will be protected against
the Atlantic breakers she may possibly
encounter by heavy sheathing Of plank
ing bolted to the supports below. When
all is complete it is anticipated that she
will be as safe as liner, and, unless ex-
ceptonally unfortunate, she will arrive
in America in such perfect condition that
retitting for racing will be comparatively
simple matter.

Americas Crop for 1900.

The outlook for wheat and corn in the
L nited States is better, on the whole,
than was expected few weeks ago.
Translated into quantity, the most recent
report of the Department of Agriculture
indicates a yield of about $50, 900, 900
bushels of wheat and of 2.121, 900, 900
bushels Of com. The figures for wheat
agree with estimates of most of the au
thOrities, but those here cited for corn,
and which are given on the basis of the
computation made by the statisticians of
the New York Produce Exchange, are
somewhat above those arrived at by other
experts. The lowest estimate, however,
does not bring the corn crop below the
:, 900, 600 600 line.
All this is highly encouraging to Amer
lean farmers. The wheat yield, as here
given, has never been exceeded in the
United States except iii 1891, when it was
G12, 900, 600 bushels, and in 1878, when it
was 675, 900, 600. The corn crop has gone
above the :, 900, 600, 900 line in 1889, 1891,
1895 and 1896. The corn yield III all those
years excited surprise. This years crop
may so up to the figures of any Of those
years except 1896, when the production
was >, 1888, S775, l65, as figured by the De-
partment of Agriculture after the crop
was gathered. The most optimistic est
mates thus far made do not indicate a
crop in 1899 quite up to the 1896 mark,
but it may break the record for all the
other years.
Foreign crop reports, as just out
lined by tile Department of Agriculture
in Washington, make the situation pecu-
| liarly encouraging to the American farmer.
Russia is the chief rival of the United
States among Europe exporters of wheat
| Russia's wheat crop of 1899 will be from
! s., 900, 600 20 120, 900, 600 bushels short o
the yield of 1898. This year Russia vii
have hardly enough wheat to supply it;
home needs, and will not export any Of it
Frances wheat crop will be slightly abov
the average, Prussia's and Austria's vii
be about at last years figures, whicl
were not tlattering, while the crop i
Italy and Spain will be below last year
mark. Taking Europe as a whole, til
wheat crop will be considerably beloN
that of 1898. This will enlarge the mar
ket for the United States product Will
the American consumer will probably no
have to pay much more for his food tina
he did last year, the American farmer

HOW TO SAVE $4,000.

The Changes He Proposes In Order 10

Mr.. Stephen o. Edwards OF the school

COMMITTEES on evening schools his re-
port upon the manner in which he
would reduce the cost of the evening
schools. and according to the figures he
furnishes economics TO the amount OF
over $4,000 would result. Among his
principal suggestions is one for a re-
ductlon OF the teaching force i'm the

one or two schools and consolidation
OF two others.
Mr.. Edwards is OF the opinion that
there Is too small an average OF pupils
To a teacher and that the salaries Of
principals should be graded according
10 the size OF the schools. He would
dispense with the supervisor Of even

performed by superintendent Tarbell.
