Curious Storage of Hay.

An English traveller through Kash-
mir found in practice there a novel
method Of putting fodder up for win
ter use, The country lies in valley
among the Hlmalayas. The chief in
dustry Of the people consists in raising
fine wool and IN making this into fab
RIGS which have carried the name of
the country all over the world A GU
rlOus custom in some places is that of
hanging quantities of hay up among
the branches Of trees. Why it was
done was more than could guess, till
my guide informed me that in winter
the snow lies five and six yards in
depth and that the supplies Of hay,
which now look only as if they were
meant for canelOpardS, are then easily
reached by the focks of sheep which
abound there.

TO
PROMOTE
TRADE
With Latin American Countries
viii Convene at New Orleans
on April s.
sneclal to The Journal.

New Orleans, Mar. 19.-Governors
of p different states, mayors and
boards of trade of 1000 different
towns and cities and editors of 5000
different newspapers in the wide
territory bounded by the Rockies, the
Alleghenies, the Great Lakes and the
Gulf, have been invited to come to
New Orleans April 5, 6, and z, to
start in motion a great trade propa-
ganda among the Latin Countries OF
Central and South America and take
time by the forelock in view of the
trade expansion to follow the open
ing of the Panama Canal.
Not until the canal is completed
will they wait, but, stimulated by the
activity brought about by the coneen-
tratiOn of work on the Isthmus OF
Panama, it is proposed to form at
once permanent organization for
the purpose of developing and magni-
flying the trade relations between the
states of the Valley of the Alississip-
pi, the Missouri. and the Ohio, and
the countries to the south and sell
tn the Latin Americans those Amerl-
can products and manufactures which
are now supplied principally by Ger
many and Great Britain. Those
states which have been asked to par
ticipate are: Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Missouri, Pennsylvania, Michigan
Wisconsin. Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska
Iowa, Oklahoma. Colorado, Utah
Montana, Wyoming, Texas, Indian
Territory, Arkansas. Tennessee, Ken
rf,,in nd
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana
and it is anticipated that an attend
ance of 1000 delegates will be Sc
cured The program contemplates
addresses by men of national and in
ternational reputation from all the
states-both in business and public
life.
Mr.. James w. Porch. chairman of
the Joint Conference Committee of
the New Orleans business exchanges
in explaining the objects Of the con-
ventiOn says: I'VE realize that it re
quires a combined effort Of the large
cities north of us to create that vol
Ume of tonnage that will give us as
perfect shipping facilities by water
as enjoyed by New York" In fact, a
careful analysis of the situation
clearly establishes the fact that we
should have better facilities and that
the wonderful tonnage that we Will
be able to control will speedily re-
quire them. One of the results of
this convention We hope will be per
manent organization with a few train
&c and thoroughly competent men in
charge whose business it will be TO
watch over every interest from Mis-
sissippi valley and southern point of
view who will constantly guard us
against determinations. and if they
occur, be in a trained position to
advise all of the participating ex-
changes of just what is being done
wherein it hurts, and how to apply
the cure It will also be their duty
to gather data of every conceivable
kind for the benefit of would-be ship
pers. to look into all entanglements
Or difficulties that may occur by peO-
ple who do ship; in other words, to
be the watchdog of the situation and
through an intelligent effort well ap-
Piled build up sentiment to the point
of making our natural advantages
properly workable"

Mitigating Circum.tance.

A Scotch baillie recently advanced to
the bench had a criminal placed before
him accused Of some very modest vio-
lation of the law. OF course the baillie
knew the prisoner well. He heard the
charge stated.
John, man, I'm sorry to see you
here Wen just fine you half q crown. .
The clerk here interviewed.
But the charge is not yet proved;
we have not heard the evidence"
Then the benignant baillie:
'Ah, well, John, my man, as the
charge is not proved Wen just fine you

A Polish snort.

One Of the faYorite sports of a Polish
country gentleman is to capture a wolf
alive, and as his mode Of doing it is
probably new to many Englishmen 1
will briefly describe it. A wolf being
driven into the open, the well mounted
horSeman pursues it, armed only with
a long whip and some rope. The wolf
after a time tries to take rest, but the
rider forces it on with his whip till,
after repeated attempts at rest, it sinks
exhausted. The rider then springs
from his horse, jumps astride the wolf
and. holding it by the ears, secures it
with the rope Most men require the
assistance Of a mounted companion,
who ties the wolf while the other holds
its ears with both hands, and il this
way the capture is comparatively easy,
but to do it single handed is q difficult
feat. Nasty bites and even dangerous
wounds result should the hunter have
miscalculated' the strength of the ami
NAL. No one, however, is considered a
perfect sportsman till he has done this,
yet many never succeed. OF the large
party assembled only our host, two Of
his stalwart brothers and one other
man had obtained this blue ribbon OF
Polish sport.-Blackwood Magazine.

CHINESE MUSIC

Chinese music is incomprehensible
to the occidental ear, but opinions
vary as TO why this is so. Either the
Chinese have less ear for harmony
than more civilized peoples, or else
they are so far beyond us that we
cannot understand their combinations
of tone. The Chinese were the first
people in the history of the world to
develop a system of octaves, a circle
of fifths and n lot of other harrnonical
technics, back in the days when our
ancestors, the European savages, had
not invented even the simplest forms
of melody. Whether or not we shall
finally arrive at understandings and
liking something that approaches the
harmonious dscords of the Chinese,
close observers claim to have discov-
cred among the musicians and lovers
of music a steadily increasing sensi-
tiveness to harmonies, the existence of
which was formerly unknown. Subtle
harmonies of today are understood
which, forty or fifty years ago even,
would have been regarded as incom-
prehensble. The musicians have grown
more and more fearless in doing the
things that used to be forbidden. When
Faust was produced, back in the
fifties it was regarded by the critics as
too technical ever to be popularity ac-
cepted

OUR STREET LIGHTING

That the ornamental lighting systems
already installed in Broadway and
Spring street have been of great benefit
to the city at large practically goes
without saying. That the systems in
Main and Hill streets will be of equal
value is as patent. The lighting system
of downtown Los Angeles has been held
up as a model for beauty all over the
United States. Municipal journals have
extolled it and visitors have been loud
in it's praise.
That the city at large should support
this lighting is also practically beyond
argument. The downtown district is
the show part of the community, par
ticularly at night. The thousands of
visitors who are always here seek the
business region after dark, and If it is
brilliantly Illuminated and handsomely
embellished they sound the praises of
the whole place. AS these visitors are
continual source of revenue to the
city at large it is self evident that they
must be catered to. In no way can this
so easily and so effectively be done as
by brilliantly lighting the district to
which they must come for pleasure.
But this ornamental lighting fever
can run away with all reason, if the
people are not careful. OF course, could
it be installed throughout the entire
city, as doubtless it win be when we
benefit from the Owens river power, the
result would be ideal. However, this is
necessarily in the future. For the
present, while revenue is limited, the
city's participation in the system, so
far as furnishing current is concerned.
should be confined to the part in which
the community at large is most in
terested-the downtown streets.
This is not saying that thoroughfares
farther out should not have ornamental
lights If their property owners wish
them and are willing to pay for them.
Quite the contrary; let every street be
so illuminated, If the landholders will
stand the expense. But the city at large
should not be expected to participate in
lighting which does not benefit the
whole city as such.
There Is still need FOR more lighting
downtown. The cross streets from First
to Pico. Main 70 Hill, need about two

QUEER TALE OF soRcERy

A strange sight was seen in Justice
Joyce's court yesterday. 1t was that of
staid lawyerlike, elderly gentleman
gravely declaring that he had been
under the influence of "sorcery," and
controlled by a telepathic mesmeric
influence which caused him intense
pain at night"
AS Joseph William Thomas, who is
bringing an action with regard to tran
sactions which took place when he was
in an asylum, made these accusations
against his brother Sir Alfred Thomas.
M. p. he emphasized his points with
a pince-nez which he carried in his
hand. 4.
''Are you still under the influence?"
asked Mr.. Isaacs, K. G.
cit has not ceased absolutely, and
probably never WILL replied Mr..
Thomas, raising his pince-nez.
He added that distance made no diff
ference to the Influence" which was
conveyed at night. The Influence"
might be exercised by his brother's s
agents.
In adjourning the case the judge ex-
pressed an opinion that the matter in
dispute ought to be settled out of court.

WOMEN WHO SMOKE

From every point of view the women
of London who smoke are being dis
cussed. Or rather their accomplish
ment is being talked of to a great ex-
tent. Long ago the ethical and physical
aspects of the situation were looked
over and fairly well disposed of, but
with the recent discoveries" made of
the extent to which the habit prevails
have come new opinions. Latest of
these regards the becomingness of the
cigarette. Some expert in feminine
good looks and in true beauty in gen.
eral has found, and he rather thinks
his finding will stand all tests, that
the blue-eyed, pink-cheeked girls
should let smoking alone, as a cigarette
between their lips is a disfigurement.
But the brunette. with olive cheeks,
raven hair, and all the rest, is made
more attractive by the wearing of
cigarette. To the antis belong this bit Of
speculation, or 1t may be fact. 1t may
not do much for them, but every little
thing on their side must help somewhat.

BRING IN YOUR BONDS

There are lots OF careless people in
the world-careless even to the point
of overlooking or neglecting a clear op-
portunlty to make some money with
out any effort Back in 1901 the Union
Pacific Railroad company created an
issue of $1OO,OOO,0OO of four per cent
bonds convertible at par into common
stock up to May / of this year. and
thereafter redeemable at 1929. That
date has passed, and the common stock
is still selling in the market at forty
four or more points above par and has
lately been up as high as 1850. Neverthe-
less, $1,20O.000 of the convertible bonds
are still outstanding, although the COM
pany's management has advertised the
terms of the issue and has mailed to
every bondholder a registered letter
calling attention to the situation. Thus
a considerable holding of the bonds
misses the chance to clean up forty
four dollars or thereabouts on every
one hundred dollars of bonds, and the
company will gain nearly $5O0,OOO from
their carelessness or ignorance

JOHN WAS JOGGING ALONG

Many years ago there lived in Hud-
son, N. H., farmer, John -. On
Saturday John used to make trip to
Nashua, and on these occasions was
in the habit of getting "over the bay"
While there is nothing remarkable
about this, John posed as prohibit
Zionist, and claimed he never had tast-
ed liquor in his life.
The neighbors were tired of listen
ing to his fairy tales, and decided to
convince him they were ION to- him.
So on his next trip to town a delega-
tion of half a dozen tillers of the soil
went down the road few rods, out of
sight of Johns house, and waited for
him.
When he finally came along he was
fast asleep, and his old sorrel horse
was walking slowly. His neighbors
led the outfit into the shade of a tree,
unhitched the horse and put it in it's
stable, and, after waiting what they
thought sufficient time for John to
sober up, walked down to the point
where the wagon was left.
One of the party sang out: "Hello,
John; how are you getting along?"
John yawned a couple of times and
replied: "Oh, 1 am jogging along
slowly. y."-Boston Herald.

WORTHY OF IMITATION

AS local political zephyrs already fan
the air, suggestive Of q gale ere many
moons, it Is timely TO take notice of
the weather vanes in other communi.
ties not far distant. One incident re-
ported from San Bernardino county
seems especially worth noting in view
of the trend Of public sentiment in Los
Angeles toward partisan Independence
in choosing city and county officials.
There is a movement in San Ber-
nardino county aiming to recognize the
splendid record Of superior court
Justice by re-electing him without re-
gard to party considerations Judge
3. f. Bledsoe, although nearing the
end of his first term, probably is the
youngest superior court Justice in the
state He is a staunch Democrat, was
elected 90 straight Democratic ticket
and will be the regular Democratic
nominee in the coming campaign. But
en- the bench his judicial ability and
his admirable personality have won for
him the good will Of all men, regardless
of political leaning.
A leading Republican paper Of San
Bernardino county, the Redlands Re-
view. announces its support of Judge
Bledsoe for reelection and advises that
the Republican convention indorse him
instead of making a partisan nomna-
ton. 1t is questionable whether the Re-
publican machine" will go to the
length suggested, but it will have to
choose between that course and the de-
feat of a strict party nominee.
In this example set in San Bernardino
there is food for thought worth masti-
eating in Los Angeles.

LAYING BOILED EGGS

Some years ago my neighbor, the
late Nathaniel Noyes of Randolph, sup
piled me with fresh eggs. Among
other fads of his was to sterilize the
drinking water for his fowls. At the
time of this incident he had working
for him half-witted fellow who sold
me a dozen fresh eggs" Imagine
my surprise to learn that some OF
them, when broken, were found to be
hard boiled.
1 Immediately returned them and
demanded. an explanation. When con-
fronted with the proof the fellow looked
puzzled for a moment and scratched
his head. Then, as the case dawned
upon him he bounded into the kitchen
and exclaimed to Mrs. Noyes: MAR

any more hot water to drink. They're

purpose. Among these many names
there appeared. Mrs. Russell Sage, $685.

entered in the book by Mrs. Sage, asked
If he would not give like sum. And
what do you suppose he did?
"Well, suppose he at least doubled
it," remarked a listener.

took his pen and wrote Mr.. and be-
fore his wife's name. and handed the
book back to the good man."-Harper's

was awaited, but they sought for the
wounded and walked without faltering
amid scenes that even strong men could
not endure the sight of and from which
they ran away.

voted women is not to be estimated,
and it is only just beginning to be ap-
preciated and put on record Due praise
has been given Funston and his aids for
