its qualities as desirable and nutri.

time when the Pacific slope used to
call upon the Mississippi valley for her
butter, and upon the eastern states and
New England for her cheese but since
the introduction of the beet sugar in
dustry, California has rapidly forged
10 the front as dairy state. A large
part of this change has been brought
about by the introduction of beet pulp
as food for the dairy"
Such properties has the sugar beet
that its leaves, left on the ground,
serve as most proper and desirable fer
liIizer, Mr.. Saylor says.
Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan,
New York and Wisconsin, with Cali
fornia, Oregon, Utah and New Mexico,
make up the list of the beet sugar pro-
ducing divisions of the country, as it
stood last year. Reports of the pros
poets for new factories then showed
activity in attention to this branch of
industry in Colorado, Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Missouri,
Montana, New Jersey, OHIO, Pennsyl-
vania, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia
and Washington, besides promises of
extensions in the states and territory
already producing the sugar. 1t is
pointed out that the sugar beat is al
ready a competitor with other farm
products as raw material in the man
ufaclure of alcohol. In France the
annual output of alcohol distilled from
beets is 20,000,000 gallons.
As to our progress in the industry
generally, Mr.. Saylor says: "As with a
great many subjects of this kind, be-
fore an experience and acquaintance
with the subject are obtained that is
to say, before practical details have
been learned by the people generally,
we have advocates representing all
shades of opinion, good, bad and indif-
ferent. These views are deduced from
studying the results obtained in Euro
pean countries in which results and
experiences differ on account of the
different conditions that prevail. Pro-
positions based on European expert
ences are jumbled together and offered
to the American people interested in
the industry of raising sugar beet as
the principles governing the status of
the vegetable in this country. It safe
to say that hardly any of these PROPOSE
tions is more than partially true. We
have agricultural conditions of our
own, differing from those of other
countries. We have agricultural meth
ods of our own which are superior to
those of any other country. So, as
we acquire more experience, we are
establishing facts and building up a
science of our own touching the grow
ing of sugar beets of good quality un-
der our own peculiar conditions"

Many Sons of Kings Are Deadbeats and
Paunar1.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

Paupers.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
Prince Luigi, of Italy, has discover
ed gold in the Klondike and will come
home much richer than he went. The
princes trip was called a purely pleas
ure trip, for climbing mountains; but
if it began thus, he caught the gold
fever in Alaska, or what is more pro-
bable, he had a sneaking notion of
hunting for gold when he started,
though it was not mentioned for
fear of failure and ridicule. Men
do not, except in very exceptional
cases, fall into gold mines unless they
are hunting for them very hard, and
the times are such that kinglings are
as likely to be assidiously searching
for gold as anyone else.
Europe, indeed, is overrun with
kings and the sons of kings. Times
are stagnant in the king business, and
it becomes more and more difficult to
provide for all the royal blood. The
popular impression prevails that the
Young men of all this stock make it
their business to marry heiresses. And
so large number have taken to this
method of providing for themselves
that the popular impression can hardly
be said to be false; still, there must be
many who would gladly turn an honest
penny in any honoraby way besides
matrimony.
The army, of course, has been a
great resource, and for this reason the
conference at The Hague must have
caused many an anxious hutter in the
hearts of queen mothers with young
SONS growing up. But the army was
staff rather than a crutch, since even
in the English army the pay is so
small as to call for private means be-
sides. The wholesale liquor trade in
England is said to be almost monopo-
lized by the aristocracy-which may
account for the ennobling of such few
plebians as have managed to push
their way into the business. And GER
tain other sons of kings. have lived
upon their wits and their skill at
gambling.
The American public has only
vague idea of the resources Of royal
families in general. If it is not taken
for granted they are rolling in wealth
sufficient for all, including younger
sous, then these younger sons are
crynically supposed 10 exist by cheat
ing their tailors and haberdashers. A
little reflection, however, will convince
anyone that this latter method; while
it might be great help, would hardly
do as a sole means of subsistence.
Some of the deposed mouarchs, like
the Bourbons and Bonapartes, carried
off good deal of loot with them
when they went, invested it and have
been living off the interest ever since.
But this does not provide for the in
crease in the royal race, and some of
the royal houses have doubtless hum
gered to earn their living by the sweat
of their brows. If Prince Luigi has so
huugered no one will grudge him his
success. Convention makes it much
harder for the royalty to earn money
than for common men, and from all
accounts the gold obtained in the
Klondike may most certainly be said
to be earned.

had key to the house, which explains
why that house was chosen. Later in
the evening Rice, Sexton and as many
more as may have been required went
to the house, taking with them the
cadaver from the hospital. This house
is 80 situated that it may be approached
from an alley in the rear with little
danger of being observed by neighbors.
A church stands next to it on one side,
and the brick barn of the house on the
other side shields the approach from
that direction. So it may not be won
dered at that no one has come forward
with story about seeing them enter it
from the rear.

moved to destroy its identity and clad
in Luther Damon's brown suit and
bearing other articles to identify it as
Damons body. was deposited behind
the barrels in the basement. 1t was
found there Friday by Mr.. Hopper and
fellow officer and supposed to be the
body of Damon, as the conspirators had
intended.
The faces Of Rice, Sexton and the
other students had been q study while
the professor was speaking. Rice's smile
was scarcely perceptible now. He looked
crestfallen. AS the professor paused he
said:
well, even supposing your theory
to be correct, l don't see that you have
explained the disappearance of Damon.
He hasn't been seen since Wednesday.
Where is he now2 Neither have you

this trouble. We should like to hear
your views on the subject.
81 intended to give them," returned
the professor blandly.
"First let us see about Damon's dis
appearance. When I visited his board
ing place in Wallace street Saturday,
the servant girl permitted me to go up
into his room. 1 had an object in doing
1t, of course. I went directly to his
closet and found hanging there only one
suit, heavy winter one. I presumed
he might possess and sometimes wear
more than one summer suit. I question
ed the girl and found that he did. A
black coat and vest and gray trousers
formed one suit The other was
brown one. The brown one has been &C
counted for, as we have already seen.
Where was the black one2 Presumably
on Damon's own person. 1t was at least
missing from the closet, and that was
all I cared to learn. In the pockets
that suit doubtless were the other arti-
cles that we might have expected to find
in the brown suit-the watch, keys,
knife, match safe, etc.-in brief. the
things Damon would need daily. He
could spare his ring, his cardcase and
some cards very nicely. And should
suppose here the professor looked at
Rice with his wintry snile-"that he
might also have spared pocket hand
kerchief. But suppose you overlooked
that. And I regard it as lack of shrewd-
ness on your part that you did. "
Rice looked rather sheepish at these
words, but said nothing.
"As to the motive of this queer con-
spiracy, the question Of course might
occur, Did Damon carry insurance on
his life and did he consent to appear to
be killed in order that the claim might
be collected and he share in the pro-
ceeds2 I thought of that, of course. but

sIuer ~
Salem, Or, Jan. 1.-THE first week
of the legislative session closes with
81 bills introduced and read in the sem
ate, and 1874 in the house. The house
passed the bill to add two judges to
the supreme court, and there is little
doubt that the measure will pass the
senate in due time. Two notable re-
forms have been provided for-to limit
the number of committee clerks and to
keep appropriations of doubtful merit
out of the general appropriation bill.
A bill to correct the committee clerk
skip abuse further for future legisla-
lures is before the senate, and is likely
to pass both houses. The ways and
means committee will report not only
a general appropriation bill and spe-
cial appropriation bill. but will refuse
to yoke with appropriations of un-
doubted merit those that are question
able. making the latter bills stand in
dividually on their merits before the
legislature and the governor.
