1t is understood that the joint COM
mittee Of the Board of Trustees and

ident Gallatin of the Sacramento Elec-
trio, Gas and Railway Company, to

porter that only one member of the

the insertion of the clause unless it be
agreeable to the electric companies, for
the reason that such q provision would
be illegal, and that the Board of Trus :
tees should not be dragged into any

How insects Hide From Enemies.


How many have ever noticed the
skillful way in which many insects dis
guise themselves when in danger from
some larger animal or bird? Probably
you have all observed that the caterpil-
lar "plays dead" when he is disturbed,
and that many insects choose for their
homes some tree or shrub whose bark or
foliage matches themselves in color.
There is d certain variety of moth,
quite common around elms, which fixes
it's wings so that they closely resemble
spots or lichens on the bark of the tree
and can only be detected by trained
eye. Another moth, whose principa.
eolors are pink and yellow, arranges
itself on the blossom of a primrose SO
as to wholly escape notice. In the East
Indian islands there is a spider which
reposes on the upper side of large leaf
in such shape that it perfectly resem-
bles decayed matter.
A hunter in tropical regions tells Of
seeing a cricket pursued around the
trunk of a tree by lizard. Suddenly
the insect settled itself in small de-
preston in the bark, spread out its
wings slightly and flattened itself SO
that the lizard actually orawled over il
and went away without ever knowing
what had become of it.-Lewiston Jour
nal

Three Minerals.

The Chicago Chronicle says that a
teacher in one of the local schools was
instructing a class Of small children in
mineralogy the other day, endeavoring
to make clear TO their young minds
what mineral really is. Standing be-
fore them. she began in her clear voice:
"A mineral is an inorganic, homogene-
GUS substance of definite, or approx
mately definite, chemical composition,
found in nature. Do you understand
me? Come, now, you all have seen
minerals, and your mothers and fathers
have told you the names of them,
haven't they? Of course they have.
Now, can any one tell me the names of
three minerals?'
There was no response, and she con-
tinued, Have not some of you been
out and seen minerals on exhibition

MORNING by Proxy.

Our ways of showing respect to the
dead would surely be past the compre-
hension of the Martians or of anybody
else whom custom has not blinded to
the absurdity of some of the things we
do. For example, a funeral procession
went out Fourteenth street one sunny
afternoon recently, and in the train I
recognized the carriage Of a woman /
know. A little surprised at her pres
enoe, glanced at the carriage win
dows, but the shades were down. /
pictured her within, SO overcome with
grief at her friends death that she
could not bear the curious eyes of
chance passers. That same afternoon I
met her coming out of theater-gay,
rosy, laughing. She had been to the
matinee, while her empty carriage. in
token Of her sorrow, followed her dead
friend to the grave. Washington Star.

She Hadn't.

There is young lady who has lit
tie private school, and the other day
she overheard the following converse
ton among her pupils:
1t was Monday, and one of them had
evidently been much impressed with
her Sunday school lesson of the day be-
fore, for as soon as another little girl
came in she astounded her by the an
nouncement, "You are my sister,
"I'm not. /" said No. 2.
"You are, +" said No. l.. Haven t you
got a Father in heaven?''
Yes" grudgingly.
"Well, 50 have T. Don't that make
you my sister,"
No. was entirely nonp1used at
that and No. l correspondingly victori-
Gus, SO when another little girl arrived
"You are my sister"
Now No. 8 happened to be a young
lady of very determined disposition,
and she declared just as firmly that she
was nothing of the sort, and the "I'm
nots' and "You ares' flew very fast
for minute, until No. / brought out
her knockdown argument, Haven {
you got Father in heaven?'
But imagine her chagrin and the
teachers amusement when the other
sputtered forth: mo, I haven't, and
you know it. I've just got one grand
flasher up there" and strobe on to her
seat, leaving the enemy vanquished be-
hind her. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

MoRGANToWN. JANUARY 3. 1855
1899.

The Daily NEW DOMINION makes
its New Years greeting to-day.
The Daily has not had much exper-
fence in New Year greetings. and feels
little awkward, but it enters upon
the year 1899 with a feeling of assur-
ance that although young in years it
has already gained substantial foot
hold that gives it the promise of per-
manance and fair degree of prosper
ity.
A newspaper is SO closely identified
with the fortunes of its constituents
that its outlook is always measured
and foreshadowed by the business and
social conditions of the community in
which it circulates. The prosperity
and enterprise of the one is the sure
and substantial criterion of the other.
We have the most prosperous and
promising town in the state It's nat
ural beauties and conveniences make
1t a most desirable and attractive
home for the best class of population.
It is healthful, cultured, moral, and
possesses the very best business adj
vantages. 1t grows right along on
safe and conservative business
lines. 1t promises in the near future
to become one of the most popu1ous
and wealthy communities of the state.
The year 1899 will witness a-steady
and substantial growth in population
and wealth.
These are not fancy pictures of the
imagination, but have a material
basis in the conditions about us.
And it is upon these things that the
NEW DOMINION counts in entering
upon new year as basis for con-
CALCULATIONS not only to its readers
but to itself, that progress and pros
perity will mark the history Of the
new as it has of the old.
In this cheerful spirit therefore
this first number of the Daily for 1899
greets its readers and cordially ex-
tends TO them the compliments of the
season wishing that only good fortune
may attend each and all throughout
the year.
