Slater is open for all, corners, and he hopes to get on matches with such men as "PhiIadel- phia Jack'' O'Brien, present heavy weight champion of England: Dick Burge, or any other man in Great Brit ain. Slater is one of the best men at his weight that California has ever pro- duced. Among the men he has won hOnors from are Jack Everhardt. Tom Tracy, Young Peter Jackson, and many others prominent in the lightweight and middleweight divisions.

AFTER ENGLISH BOXING.

According to well informed sporting men along Broadway. there is a scheme on foot among the Americans abroad to control the fighting game on the other side. It is understood that there will be a great exodus of Ameri- can boxers this winter and that Eng land will once more be the Mecca of the pugilist. Parson Davies is at the head of the new organization now being formed in England, and with Davies are associated a number of Americans who have been identified with the game in this country. The first match the Americans will en- deavOr to pull off as a star attraction will be the Kid McCoy-Jack O'Brien fight. All the clubs in England would like to secure this bout, but it is said Mccoy has given his word to the pro- motors of the American club and that they will receive the preference if the bout is arranged.

ROSE GRAVITY MHEEI..

two-thirds heavier than those on the upward grade in action-that natur- al falling of the weights on the former grade insures perpetual motion.
 A cessation of the driving force can only be effected by preventing the weights from falling, and this is done 0y very simple contrivance in the form of spring which acts on all the weights simultaneously. Taking a wheel 40 feet in diameter and three feet wide, it is estimated that it will carry 1,050 weights and that the driv- ing power will be equal to 1,443A tons from the center of the wheel. The cost of construction is about one- sixth the cost of machinery for steam power, and t-is also, claimed that the new motive power will reduce the working expenses 95 per cent.
 The working model, says the New York Herald, has been subjected to continuous tests, as it is apparently capable, like the brook, of going on forever" which, of course, is what is expected of an invention claiming to constitute a solution of the secret of perpetual motion

Billy Roche, who is now managing Kid Lavigne, said yesterday he was ready to match Lavigne to meet Terry McGoyern. Now that Roberts, tine English champion. has refused to meet McGovern, Roche's boy is likely to be considered. Sam Harris agreed to match McGovern with Lavigne if inc Saginaw lad first defeated some good man. Should McGovern refuse to meet Lavigne, Roche will endeavor to arrange match with. Jack Roberts early in October. He is confident that Lavigne can defeat McGovern, and is willing to let the winner take the en- tire purse. Lavigne is now at Sag inaw, Mich, doing light training in an ticipatiOn of a match He is in superb condition. He was recently tried out, and showed in his old-time form.

NEW GRAVITY WHEEL.
Its Inventor Thinks It Constitutes the solution of the Secret of Per-

An improved automatic or self-act- ing gravity wheel is the modest title of an invention by Mir. Herbert Rose, of Australia, which has recently been patented all over the world, and which, if the claims of it's inventor are real ized, promises to supersede steam as a motive power.
 The invention relates to the con- struction of gravity wheel, with con- centric rings, secured to arms radiat- ing from the center. These arms or weights act. as balance and driving levers and are so. nicely arranged those on the downward grade being

JEFFRIEs HAS ADMIRERS.

Although Jim Jeffries failed to knock his man out the other night at San Francisco. in four rounds. he has lost none of his old-time admirers, and his packers are just as confident that he will defeat Ruhlin in their coming bat tie as ever before. The sports along Broadway who pin theiE faith in the boilerma4ler to defend the cbampiOn- ship against the Akron Giant were not surprised at the result of his recent s.go." They argue that the champion was never a knocker-out. and that lit tic is to be learned from such a con test. 1t is well known fact that Jeff fries, in the. parlance of the sporting fraternity, is Hong distance fighter' that is. he lets his opponent do all the leading until he is pretty well ex- hausted. and then he starts in to put on the finishing touches.

MARKED SALMON RETURN.
Many of the Fish Come Back to Their Spawning Ground Every
 Fourth Year.

A. C. Little, state fish commission. CT, is commencing to get results from scientific experiments conducted dur ing the last four years, with the ob- jeet of ascertaining what proportion of young, salmon turned out by the state fish hatcheries return, every fourth year to thNr o spawning grounds. He has procured numerous fish tails from the Columbia river fishermen which bear certain marks placed upon them before the fish were set loose at the Kalama hatch cry. These fish are spawn of the salmon caught in 1897, and are, there fore, four years old. None of the tails were obtained in previous years, again proving that salmon return only every fourth year, says the San Francisco Call.
 The fact that the run of salmon on the Columbia river has been unex- pectedly large this year is believed to have been due almost entirely to the great number of fish turned out by the Washington hatcheries on streams tributary to the Columbia. Several of these hatcheries have not been established long enough to get direct returns in the form of marked tails

may be, and then when we get fall
rains the pastures kept free from
stock now will furnish much more feed
and feed later in the season than II
tramped while dry.
Sorghum, Kaffir corn, COW peas and
alfalfa make pasture after cattle be-
come accustomed to them, but great
ARE must be used in starting stock
on such pastures. At the College we
fill the cattle with straw or hay In the
morning and then turn them on the
sorghum or other green crops only If
teen minutes the first day, the next
day thirty minutes, and then increase
the time fifteen minutes each day UNI
til we reach an hour and a half, when
it is safe to let them stay on all the
time and not give them other feed.
Cattle turned on such pastures at first,
IL hungry, will often eat a few mouth
fuls and die in a few minutes or hours.
Rape sown as late as September
will furnish pasture for hogs. Sow
Dwarf Essex rape, five pounds per acre
broadcast, or three pounds per acre
drilled. 1t will do to feed In six weeks
after seeding. An acre will pasture ten
to twenty hogs and as seed costs only
ten to fifteen cents per pound the cos1
is light. Rape is a fair pasture for cat
tie, but some dry feed must be giver
with it to prevent securing. 1t take:
a heavy frost to kill rape, SO that !
furnishes late pasture, and Kansas
farmers should SOW a large acreage t.
this crop.
Turnips should also be sown Target.
as the seed is cheap, and If a crop i
secured the turnips will a v a grea
deal Of other feed needed for the cat
tie, young stock and hogs.
We have not had success with lat
sown millet, but if the fall should b
damp and cool, millet would make
fair crop.
Wheat, oats and rye will furnish
large amount of pasture If the seaso
is favorable, and while these crops ar
in good condition cattle will do we
on them without any other food tina
straw. A farmer pastured his dair
COWS on oats and sold during the ia
$500 worth of milk for each acre

of immense benefit to her. Work and
worry are annihilated during sound,I
dreamless sleep; therefore, two foes
to fat are eliminated at once.
After the midday meal she should
retire to her room for a stated time,l
which should never be encroached up
on. Even If she finds it impossible to
sleep at first, she may gain a refresh
ing nerve rest in the quiet, darkened
room. with loosened garments, and
eyes and mind alike closed to the ma

supposed.
Artificial sleep by the use of mar

promise good crops.
Geo. j. Kellogg & Sons, Rock Coun-
ty, Wisconsin: In this section the pros
poets for fruit are very poor. What few
apples there were have mostly dropped
because of continued dry weather.
There will be a light crop of plums.
L. e. Hartwigs, Benton County,
Missouri: In the spring we had a splen-
did prospect for a big r OF fruit.
But the long continued drought has
completely ruined the peach rop IL
has caused the apples to drop badly,
and on the south side they are sun
scalded. The hot sun and wind togeth-
er have caused a great many OF the
young trees to die. A great many forest
trees have also persisted. should we
have an abundance of rain from now
on we would have enough fruit for
home use and perhaps some to sell.
G. P. Haskins, Cuyahoga County,

fair crop, but there are but few or
chards here, and there will not be
enough fruit for home consumption.
C. M. Johnson, Fulton County, I'LL

not make one-half average crop, and
the quality will be very inferior.

TO WILL n TO BE.

AS it seems to me, there is a great
deal in willing to be what n ad-
mires. The ideal which one keeps be-
fore her is the realization which she
finally achieves, says the Household.
Will to be happy, assume a virtue,
If you have it not" and keep constant
ly in mind the determination to feel
happy, and each day of such X
helps to form the habit of seeing the
bright rather than the dark side OF
things. The former is as likely to be
true as the latter, for it is brightness,
not darkness, which shows things as
they are; and we have a right to as
sumo that the law is the same in the
spiritual world as in the material. Be-
side the more probably just balance,
given by the brighter outlook, there
are other arguments in favor of taking
the world cheerily.
One gains health by thinking OF
y wholesome happy things. One keeps
courage, and gives it out to others by
determining to see happiness in every
thing. One preserves a sane balance
by keying her nature to the bright and
good. 1t is not the person who looks
out with a faith in the ultimate good
of everything who becomes insane, but
the man or woman who is expecting
trouble before it comes. When 1t
comes, one can bear it bravely, II ones
strength has not been weakened in an
ticipating it.
The sin of going about like an AMI
mate wet blanket should be preached
until it is realized. 1t is a sin from
the Christian viewpoint because II
shows a want of trust in the wisdom
which has allowed Ill to be; it is a sin
from the unbeliever's standpoint, be-
cause it adds to the burdens OF the
world, and brings shadow instead o.
sunshine.

tor in building up the fat cells. Nine
hours daily are positively essential;
ten should be secured, if possible. The
thin woman usually possesses the
indicative of ~laziness; yet it would be
mental or motive temperament, ac-
cording to certain cla-ssifcations, and
she is distinguished by a more active
brain and quicker movements than
her f1eshier sister, says the Ledger

and requires more rest. She usually

is 1T TRUE?

Balzac once said that the way to
gauge a woman's character was by her
choice of color, and that nothing ex-
pressed character so much as clothes.
And he advised those in doubt as to
how best they might reveal their in
most selves by their choice of garb,
what garments and what tones they
must wear. For instance, if a woman
had a lively expression, pale coloring,
red lips and tawny hair, and a round
full neck, she should place in her hair
a crimson flower, her dress should be
of red tulle, cut low to show the daz-
cling whiteness of her shoulders, with
long floating sleeves of tulle, which
should half conceal, half reveal, her
snowy arms, and a belt Of red MORE
to encircle her flexible but not too
slender waist. Never under any cir
cumstances, though, should a woman
of such coloring wear blue or ineffect-
i've drab.

AN ANcrENr FASHION.

Is it generally known that the fash
ion of pretty girdles from which de-
pend chains supporting knickknacks
dates back to Louis XIII? In those
days there were girdles known as
"demi-cent," which reached fabulous
prices, says the Detroit Free Press.
From them hung gold chains, like
those which are so much in favor to-
day, and small, round mirrors, for
which women have displayed such rare
fidelity, although their form has been
slightly varied.
