Chinese Viceroy Dead.

Pekin, June 29.-The death today in
Tientsin, of Yang Shih Slang, viceroy
of Chilli, is likely to have most i'm
portant bearing on the political situa-
tion. Yang Shih Slang died of an apo
plectic stroke sustained fortnight ago
and attributed to his anxiety and ardu-
GUS labor incident to the emperor's fu-
neral. The viceroyalty is that of the
metropolitan province, post carrying
great power. Yang Shih Slang owed
his position to Yuan Shih Kai.

Southern Gillian All Righ

Condor - Weather conditions the
past few days have been the best for
the grain in the southern end of the
county as there have been frequent
showers and these have helped the
grain to fill up. In the northern part
of the county there has not been any
rain and some of the fields are looking
short and it will hardly pay to cut
them even for hay. A number of the
farmers from Glenn north are planning
to cut their crop for hay so they will
have feed for the winter.

to San Francisco, where they charged
that they were brought to Hawaii un-

TRIAL MARRIAGES.
Land Where This Custom Has Been
Practiced for Ages.

Land Where This Custom Has Been
Practiced for Ages.
Sociologists who view with alarm the
growing interest in trial marriage as
an institution and conservatives who
condemn its advocates for having too
advanced ideas, due to twentieth CEN
fury freedom of thought and speech,
should go to the Philippines, where
mating on the installment plan has
been practiced for ages among the
primitive tribes, such as the Igorrotes.
The igorrotes live on the sides of
almost perpendicular mountains, and
the rice fields are built with stone
walls dug from the highly hills and
dirt hauled from afar. The one pur
suit is raising rice, and in it's weed
ing and gathering children are most
useful. therefore the woman who bears
children is respected. Motherhood is
glorified. The woman who bears no
children is an object of pity, If not of
scorn.
The Igorrotes marry at an age when
leave the grade schools. The wooing
is simple and direct II child prom
Uses to bless the union within a year,
this is taken as a sign of compatible
ity and future domestic happiness, and
the permanent marriage follows If
within year no promise of mother
hood is given, the couple are summon
ed before the village council, and the
man is given his choice: Either he
may leave the woman and seek bride
elsewhere, or he may take chances on
a childless marriage. But once a trial
marriage is made permanent, the idea
of another love affair never enters the
Igorrote's head. Not only does he take
it as a sign from heaven that this
woman is to become the mother of his
children, but he knows that any out
side entanglements with the fair sex
will end his career, matrimonially and
physically.
In that land they have trial mar
riages, but no divorces. The seventh
commandment is seldom fractured
There is no kindly jury to listen to
the fair wife's tale of how she needed
human sympathy and companionship;
no skilled attorneys to paint with lurid
words the sufferings of the injured
husband. Collision is unknown. There
is only one verdict against the offend
er-death.

London Street Reggars.

That the skilled beggar can make
larger sum week than the average
industrious workingman was one of
the opinions advanced by the chair
man (Robert Pierponte at the annual
meeting of the London Mendicant So
ciety, says writer in Reynolds News
paper.
1t was probable he said, that in the
streets of London alone something like
100000 year was, given away in
causual charity by persons who knew
nothing about the conditions and cir
cumstances of those to whom they
gave.
The total number of begging letters
received by the society during 1908
was 1855, which, with those already
in their possession, made total of
no fewer than 23S,93S. He pointed out
that about % per cent of begging let
ter writer's were utter impostors and
only about 10 per cent were deserving
of help.
Mr.. Pierpont reminded those present
that the society was originally formed
by the first Duke of wellington, owing
to the number of beggars who, pro-
Tossing to have served under him at
Waterloo and in the peninsular wars,

The Man with the cult,rator.

The importance of the man with the

IN the general acceptation of the term

etc., means great deal in the expense
Of the crop, yet it counts for nothing,

The man with the cultivator and
the housekeeping team, surrounded
by the live, green, growing plants,
seems to be the power behind the
throne. 1t is he more than any other
influence who has in control the des-
tiny of this crop. If the crop is care
fully and persistently looked after
and cultivated in season it will yield
beautifully, but if it is neglected from
any cause all the former labor and ex-
pense is lost. A crop insures the ex-
pense of producing it, and the profit
that may be represented in the surplus

cultivator Is not used when the ground

however, that the condition of the soil

sticky or cause to bake. When the
soil Is mellow and admits readily to

Money Wisely Expended.


More than 10000 employees are now
on the pay rolls of the United States
Agricultural Department. When 1t is
pointed out that only eleven years ago
the department managed to transact
us business with less than one-fourth
OF that number, the inference is that
JOBS have multiplied too rapidly.
analysis of the work of the depart
inent, however, justifies the conclu-
sion that the people are receiving a.
lalr value for their money. The most
notable increase is in the forestry
bureau, which now has 1888 employees,
as against scarcely more than a dozen
eleven years ago. In view Of the
pressing necessity for conserving our
forest resources and the vast terri
tory that must be covered, few will
contend that this service IS not worth
all that 1t costs.
The bureau of animal Industry has
increased from less than 1000 en-
ployes to 1852. This has been justi-
ned by the elaborate system of meat
inspection and extensive researches
which have helped to check contagious
diseases among animals.
Scope Of the bureaus of chemistry
and plant industry has been tremend-
ousiy broadened, with corresponding
increases in the number of people en-
ployed. In both cases, however, re-
suits of their work have been of great
value.
II all other departments of the gov
eminent were able to show as good re-
suits for their increased cost there
would be little reason for serious crit
icism.-Chicago Journal.

Water and Plants.

Every living plant in the field is a
water pump. or at least Is continually
active pumping the soil dry of water,
writes an anonymous writer. These
plant pumps do not work on exactly
the same principle as the common
suction or lifting pump, but they do
the work just the same. Their power
of working is through capillary action.
the same power that draws oil up
through the lamp wick and that makes
the towel absorb water. Every grass
plant, every wild flower and weed. all
shrubs. bushes and vines, and all trees
are steadily at work during the sum-
mer and more or less at other seasons
pumping up the water-day and night
from the ground in which they grow.
Some of this water is used by the
plants themselves for their growing
needs, yet much of it is allowed to
pour out of thousand little sprouts
from each plant. which instead of fall
ing back upon the soil to be reabsorbed
is transformed into a very thin wa
ter vapor and floats away in the air
to be precipitated at some other time
and in some other place. All OF this
pumping is invisible to our gross
vision, but the amount OF water lifted
by wild and cultivated plants over
the area OF single county OF SIN
gle state in one day amounts to thou
sands Of tons OF liquid.

When prominent men realize the in.
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in North Carolina says:
My mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker
and had been troubled with her heart
for q number of years. and complained
of that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.

a somewhat peculiar favour of the cot
fee. and asked him concerning it, He

II was so pleased with it. that after
the meal was over, l bought a pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family liked 1t so we'll, that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time. she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach: that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
