There is welcome news in the report
which comes from Newport that a new
fashion in social deDortment marks the
summer of 1902. This has to do with
the passing of the b1ase and cynical
pose SO long considered the proper thing
and the introduction of a positively
denonstrative courtesy For a long
time it has been thought eminentiy pro-
per not only never to show any en-
thusiasIn over people or things but to
complain and criticize quite openly
when your companion or surroundings
did not please you. 1t was the rule,
also, to be not too easily pleased. Moth
ing so bourgeois, it was asserted as
simple delight. If everything were not
an old story to you you should act as
if it were. Praise was inrthe most non
committal forms of expression when
permitted at all. Ennui was the mode.
But now they tell US, all this is
changed. Great ~cordiality of manner
and warmth of feeling are to be dis
played on all occasions. 1t is not nee
essary to be effusive. but the exaggera-
ton of the new fashion Will probably
lead to hat. 1t is distinctly bad form.
according to new Ideals, to criticize any
body or say harsh things of people Ev-
cry woman is charming, every man IN
teresting, every entertainment from the
dulleSt dinner to the dance where there
are three girls to every man must be

The creature was a wonder for COM

a dogs head. The head had a dogs
eyes and a dogs ears. but under the
ears, from a lank goat throat, fell
long strands of Angora goat silk of un-
m~istakable quality. The feet were
those of neither dog nor goat. They
were like the feet of a sheep. About
the hooks fell long shaggy punches
of fine soft silk and larger, shaggier
strands of a finer texture adorned the
body and the hind legs. The tail was
a white f1uffed stump, more like no
tail at all than anything else. The
dog-goat might as well have been
born a rabbit so far as a caudal APP
pendage is concerned. Except for the
head not a person alive would have
guessed that this goat was a dog. A
number of dogs came up to make

Alfalfa Farming Profitable

Recently M. Theodore Kearney, the head ot the Kearney Vineyard syndi- cate at Fresno, which controls large tract of vineyard and alfalfa land, presented the Dairy and Produce Re- view with the details of what has been done by two of the syndicate's tenants. One of these was the late w. J. Me- Nulty, who was in charge of the San Joaquin Ice company's large creamery business in Fresno. He placed 22O head of COWS and forty calves on 400 acres on April 15, 1901, and they re- mained there with their increase until January, 1902, receiving no other food than that produced on the property. In addition to carrying this stock, this acreage produced 1000 tons of hay, which was stacked there and which was taken over after his death in No- vember 1901, at value of $6 per ton, or total of $6O0O. The rental of the place being SIP per acre, amounts to $4S00; therefore the value of the hay, less $1.25 per ton for cutting and stack ing, was equal to $4750, thus leaving the feed of the stock practically with out cost. A considerable portion of this land, however, had been resown last season and therefore produced much less.
 The other instance is that of J. T. Elan, who rented from the syndicate TAO acres of alfalfa. This was after the last crop of hay was cut. He brought from Madeira county 142 head of stock, COWS, steers and horses, and placed them on the land on November 15, 1901. There was no hay on the place and he did not take pound of hay or other food there. Yet the stock did well all winter on the feed produced on this land alone, and on April 10, 1902, the steers were in good condition for the butcher.
 Mir. Kearney says that it is safe es- timate that this land will carry two cows to the acre.

It Was a Bad Storm,

One of the worst storms that ever ragged in the Boring sea raked the Nome coast from October Il to IA. Three lives were lost in the Nome sea and a large amount of damage was done to buildings along the water front. The drowned are: George Furth, engineer of the Sessions, naptha launch George Robinson, c. F. Kelly, boatmen. The accident occurred on the night of Mon- day, October 13, and was witnessed by many, who were unable to render assis. tance owing to the fury of the waves.
 The news was brought down to Seattle by passengers on the steamer, St. Paul, which left Nome Wednesday, October 15, after having to put behind Sledge Island for four days to keep from being buffeted by the storm.
 On Friday afternoon, October l7, the wind began to blow very hard, wEen the St. Paul was few hou-s out from St. Michael. By the time the boat reached the Nome harbor, a gale was in progress and boats were being tossed about like chips on the waves. One of the lighters from the St. Paul was taken away and stranded on the beach. Saturday morning there was Hull for a few hours and the loading of the boats in the harbor was begun. How ever, by noon the gale was on again worse than ever, and all vessels were forced to put in behind Sledge island for safety and remained there until Tuesday night. Wednesday night when the St. Paul left, the wind had ceased, and it was thought the blow was over.
 On Sunday the damage was done to the water front buildings. During the fury of the gale, the water rose eighteen inches higher than it was in 1900, when the greatest damage in the history of the country was done. The fact leads to fears that when the next boats arrive they will bring news of serious damage at St. Michael.
 The drowning of the three men on Monday night was due to the capsizing of dory in which were five men. Two escaped only alter hard struggle.

0ver-Irrigating Orange Trees

A Redlands subscriber asks if there is such thing as over-irrigating orange trees and what would be the result.
 We did not suppose there was much danger of over-irrigating anything any where this year, but it is quite possi- ble to do so. The effect would be a rotting of the tap roots, 'yellowing of the leaevs and eventual death of the tree. Our subscriber need not fear of such results, however. as it is most unlikely that any over-irrigation will be done in any Southern California section this season. California Culti- vator.

SPEED REDUCED
Features of New Armored Cruisers
 Decided Upon

The naval board of construction has finally decided upon the features of the armored cru uisers authorized by the last congress. Speed has been sacrificed in measure to power. By vote of four against one, Engineer in Chief Melvile's proposition to give the big ships 25,OOO horse power and speed of twenty-three knots as mini mum, was rejected, and the horse- power will stand at 29,O0O, which he estimates will actually bring the speed down to about twenty-one and half knoJs.
 The new boats, therefore, will be three and one half knots slower than the four famous English armored cruisers of the Drake class. To offset this lack of speed the Tennessee class will have a much more powerful bat tery, namely, four 1O-inch guns in two turrets, against two 9-inch guns in the main batteries of the British ships. The Tennessee class also will have more armor, the protective deck at it's thickest part being tour and half inches, with six-inches sidearmor.
 The ships have been given so much power of offense and defense that the engineer in chief will make a minority report to Secretary Moody, taking the ground that the interest of congress has been ignored and the board has de. signed actual battleships and not speedy armored cruisers.
