The Fourth in Amador County.

The fourth of July promises to be
the quietest from a celebration point of
view ever known in Amador county.
Not in any part of the county will any
celebration, according to the popular
acceptation of that term, be held. OF
course the usual amount of powder will
be consumed, and bunting displayed,
but the customary Grafton and reading
of the declaration of independence in
commemoration of the struggle which
eventuated in the birth of the nation,
will be absent. In Jackson the day
will be honored with a baseball game
between Jackson and Lodi players in
the afternoon, and ball in the even
ing. In one or two other places dance
may be given. This is about the sum
total of the doings on that memorable
anniversary. The celebration proper
is to be dispensed with entirely Prob
ably this is the first time in the history
of the county that such an Indifference
has been manifested. AS rule, the
towns vie with each other for the honor
of celebrating. This rivalry is prompt
ed from both patriotic and business
considerations. This year, the citizens
who want to hear the old-fashioned
literary pyrotecnics must travel beyond
the limits of the county to be gratifed.
We will not attempt to explain this
peculiar state of affairs. We simply
state the facts. Let us hope such a
condition of Indifference on a question
that appeals to the patriotism of every
American citizen will never occur again.

The complaint alleges that on the
11th of March, 1896, A. A. Wilkins,
being then the owner of 313 acres in
this county, mortgaged the same to
Alice E. Barnard to secure the pay
ment of 1866 one year after date, with
interest at 10 per cent per annum. That
thereafter, while Wilkins was incom-
petent, defendants acting in concert
for the benefit of themselves, and to
deprive said Wilkins of the title to his
property, took such action as resulted
in the conveyance of record title to the
said real estate to Mrs. Margaret Orr,
one of the defendants, who now holds
the title to the property. Judgment
is asked that the conveyance to Mrs.
Margaret Orr, dated Decem Der 81, 1900,
be annuled and set aside, and Cancelled
on the records of Amador county. and
that defendant be restrained from dis

when food is taken into it that fails tc

Dill Was Satisfied.

Ii was town-meeting day in Ken
tucey, as the State elections are
called, and an old man and his son
had come down from their mountain
cabin TO Blissville to see how things
worked.
The father was rather bashful, but
the son walked around with his hat
on his ear and seemed 10 be aching
for fuss. After u while the old
man approached small crowd and
humbly said:
Gentlemen, that's my son Bill
out thar, and he's feeIin to fout. If
you don't pay any 'tenshun to him,
he'll simmer down and get over it. {"
He can have a fight if he wants
one. =" replied one of the men. -
Here, you do you want to run up
agin anything ?"
"Whoop whoopie, but dol!
yelled the young msu in reply, as
ne got under motion.
Hold on, Bill-don't kill him
don't kill him." shouted the father
as he rushed forward, but he was
too late.
BiA rushed at the man with his
arms going like fails, and some
thing had shot out and landed on
Bills jaw and laid him on his back.
He did not get up for ten minutes.
He lay so quiet that some thought
him dead, but finally he opened his
eyes and sat up, and the father que
ried Of the slugger:
Mister, what did you do to my
son, Bill?"

Saint NARY $ Beacon,


Bees are by no means the only
producers of animal wax, although
probably ninety-nine persons out Of
q hundred would say SO IL asked.
The very biggest animal in the
world is one Of the most important
wax producers, and fine wax it is.
Ii is spermaceti, and it is obtained
from the head OF the sperm whale.
When a sperm whale has been
killed and il brought alongside, the
FIRST thing that the whale men do af-
ter the chains are passed around
the fiukes to hold the big creature
alongside the whaling ship, is to cut
the head from the body.
This head alone often weighs sew
eral tons and II Is no light job TO
raise il from the water. immense
tackles are used and as the whalers,
who stand on the whale and on stag
ings rugged over il, cut through the
vertebrae with their keen cutting
out spades, other men on the deck
Of the ship heave and haul on the
tackle until the mighty head is clear
Of she body.
Often head like that will be so
big that, while part Of it is still 10
the water, the tip Of the mouth will
be high in the air, as high as the
spars OF the whaleship.
Then She whalers begin to cut in
TO the head until they open what is
known by themas the case" This
contains the spermacetil 1t is a
beautiful clear, whitish fluid, and is
dipped out with buckets and pat in
to special casks. 1t is stored away
In the hold in a separate place from
the whale oil, and il brings q good
price at all times, for the demand
for spermacetj is unceasing.
The Chinese obtain a great deal of
extremely tine wax from a small in
sect called pela. 1t lives on trees,
and che Chinese cultivate the pela
just as other races breed the honey
bee. The pela, however. produces
nothing except wax.
This insect produces small masses
OF pure white wax, and it is used
by the Chinese and Japanese for
making candles TO be burned in
Buddhist temples. The wax is used
also for medicinal purposes.
Another wax insect lives in Ger.
tain districts Of India. 1t is no,
propagated as the Chinese pela is
but it produces very valuable waS
which will be made an article of con
siderable commercial importance
some day.

Does III Mean Sick.

There are signs of an existing pro-
pensity to constrain the partial With
drawal Of the word sick" from the
American language in favor of the
word ill. Newspapers in their
headlines speak of a very i'll man. :"
Itused to be "a very sick man." Why
the change? IAN i'll wind" is a
satisfactory use of language, but an
ill man" CRATES on the ear and
sounds like an attempt to improve
on usage that has no perceptible
defect. They say that this new
within is q euphemism imported from
England. A correspondent OF a
Boston paper discusses aud disap-
proves it, protesting not only against
the use of the understandable adverb
lily" but against the growing use
Of the word s'ill" in place of the
homely word sick. This Boston
protestant, quoting Webster, finds
that Shakespeare, with hardly an
exception, uses ill" TO mean men
tai, moral, or impersonal disorders.
III at ease, ill advised" ill
bred, ill fares" are all fit and IA
miliar uses of q good and industri-
Gus little word that has plenty of
legitimate work of its own to do
without being constrained to figure
as feeble substitute for. sick. -
