The Best Eor AarieuIture.

The Best For Agriculture.
San Antonio Express.
According TO an agricultural authority
arid soil is the most fertile, and that is
one reason why the lands not regarded
as tillable until put under irrigation have
shown such remarkable productivity
Great nations of antiquity built their
civilizations in the desert and scientists
have concluded that they did so purpose
II with a thorough understanding that
arid regions are vastly more fertile than
humid regions, a fact which is said to
have been clearly established by chemical
test.
The soil in the arid or semiarid region
OF West and Southwest Texas now being
brought under cultivation by irrigation
from the rivers or from flowing wells or
by the expanded system of dry farming, is
said to show three times as much pot
ash. FIVE times as much magnesla and IA
times as much lime as that Of the humid
regions cast Of the Mississippi river. The
explanation is that wherever rainfall is
abundant these soluble elements OF fertil-
ity are washed away season after season.
the land becomes impoverished and is
only partly recouped by heavy fertiliza-
tion, while in dry soil the chemical actor
OF air upon the plowed earth goes on ur
disturbed. Instead OF wearing out from
cultivation the land grows fatter as plant
food accumulates, its inherent fertility be-
ing increased by irrigation.

The idea of contriving a school curric-
ulum to respond to all the demands OF
practical or business life is not to be
commended. Education is not reached
through any such gimlet holes. The true
purpose OF common school life is TO get
the youth accustomed to thinking, to
create in him a desire for true knowledge,
TO nt him out with moral incentive, and
thus send him out for the mission that lies

A Mining Accident

An accident occurred at the South
Eureka mine early Thursday morning,
so we are reliably Informed, which very
fortunately was unattended by injury TO
any of the miners. In hosting the
night shift, the wire cable broke when
the skip, loaded according to report,
with about fifteen men, was about 1000
feet from the top. Luckily the skip
jumped the track after going down only
two or three feet, and caught on the
timbers of the shaft The 1000 feet of
wire rope descended on the men who
were being hoisted, but did no damage
OF consequence 1t is rule with all
mining companies to inspect the cables
frequently, so as to detect any weakness
therein But in spite of the utmost pre-
caution in this respect, it is next to i'm
possible sometimes to detect a weak
ness. The exterior may appear perfect
ly sound, while the interior wire
strands may be corroded An accident
Of this nature does not necessarily i'm
ply lack of attention in the eXamina-
tion of the working condition of the
cable.

Young Austrian Meets
Violent Death in Mine

A Young Austrian miner named
George Vucurovich met violent death
in the Lightner mine at Angels Camp
on Tuesday last. While at work in the
face he came across a stick of giant
powder that had failed to explode, strik-
ing it and thereby causing it to explode.
The debris struck him about the face
and head, causing almost instant death,
and mangling him in terrible manner.
The remains were brought to Jackson
yesterday. and will be inferred in the
cemetery of the Greek church this
afternoon, under the auspices of the
Austrian Benevolent Society, of which
organii alton ne was a member. He was
% years of age, and for while was
employed at the Zeila mine. Some
difficulty arose upon the arrival of the
body here owing to the absence OF a
certificate as to the cause of death. Il
appears jury was impanneled to hold
coroner's inquest, and after viewing the
remains and before the inquest was held,
the body was forwarded here. Wher
the facts were known there was no fur
ther objection to the interment.

TIE Joy OF EATING.
IL Is Courted to the Fullest Extent In
Berlin.

Berlin.
The Germans in a good many ways
get more happiness out of life as they
go along than we do. Eating is an in
nocent pleasure. and they eat oftener
and more. No one is required to get
up to breakfast. There is never any
formal family breakfast. Coffee and
rolls are sent to your room, or you
can go into the dining room and set
them when you choose. Not having
had breakfast enough. a German
spends all the rest of the day in max
ing up for it. At 10:30 or II every
body takes lunch. The laborers along
the streets all stop to eat. And in
general it may be said that in all
places and at all hours it is good form
and Il matter Of course to draw out a
substantial sandwich of rye bread and
raw ham and so to munching. Wom-
en- do it at the opera. Students do it
at the university between classes.
Dinner comes at o'clock. About D
the maid brings to your room coffee
and rolls and perhaps cake. At p. m.
to any entertainment may have sup
per at 6 or Z. But there is always
long enough intermission at the opera
or theater for those who are disposed
to take lunch, and most persons are
disposed.
There are innumerable restaurants
all about the city. and tens of thou
sands of people eat there. sitting at lit
tie tables in the open air right by the
sidewalk. After the day with all its
cares and meals is over it is favorte
custom to go to restaurant and sit
there for half the night eating and
drinking and listening to music. No
city in the world hears so much good
music so cheaply as Berlin. And ev-

enough about music to talk with some
