can tell YOU how any one OF you
can come to that same position,
where you will be able to distinguish
Gods voice. and TO know that the
voice that speaks TO you from the
Bible is the voice of God. Jesus
Christ Himself tells us this in John
vii II. r. ": IF any man willeth
to do His will, he shall know of the
teaching whether It be OF God, or
whether / speak from myself" The
surrender OF the will to God opens
the eyes of the soul to see the truth
of God.
Jesus Christ does not demand that
a man shall believe without evidence,
but He does demand that a man shall
put himself in that moral attitude
toward God and the truth that makes
him competent to appreciate evidence
There Is nothing that so clarifies the
human mind as the surrender Of the
will to God.

Bull Batting.

Although bull batting was a cruel
pastime, it was also fulfilling of the
law, for formerly no butcher was al
lowed to offer for sale the flesh of any
bull that had not been baited. The
goading OF the animal in a fury was
supposed to have some influence on the
flesh. In similar belief the flesh OF
hunted hare was thought to be superior
In flavor to that OF one that had been
shot, and a present OF "a hunted hare"
was considered to be a special compli-
ment. In the records OF the corpora
ton Of Leicester, England, the follow
ing order appears: "At a common hall.
held ON Thursday before st. Simon and
vt. Jude, 1867, no butcher to kill a bull
till baited.' At Winchester It was or
dered (reign OF Henry VIII) "that
from hensforth Their shall be no bull
stake set before any mayors dore to
bayte any BUN, but onlie at the bull
ringe within the saide cytie."

MURDER CASE
is BEING TRIED
Continued from Pae e l

death next morning about half-past
eight.
During the fight in the kitchen.
George Sampo struck witnesses mother
with chair. He broke the glasses.
Her mother sent for the deputy con-
stable Dan Bona. Did not know
whether the constable came at the re-
quest of her mother, or at the instance
Of George Sampo.
Saw George Samfo ct the prelimi-
nary examination week afterward;
he had black eye then. 1 do not
know how he came by it. Never saw
any one strike him while in the house
on the 18th. Was friendly with all
the parties; knew them to be good
boys.
When court convened at 9 80 this
friday morning, Mrs Callandra was
called as a witness, and testified that
she was resident of Drytown. Her
home was on Spanish street. Shortly
after 10 O'Clock on the night of No
vember 10, which was bright moon
light night, she heard noises in the
street. She was in bed at the time,
and got up and went out on the porch;
saw three men across the street about
30 feet away; recognized one as the
defendant, Giacomo Sampo, and an
other as the deceased, Pistoni; the
other was short man whom she did
not recognize. Heard Pistoni holler-
ing: please, let me alone, / have
nothing with you; don't kill me; let
me alone, please" This was repeated
twice by deceased. They were in a
bunch together. Saw no blow struck.
Heard Sampo, defendant, answer back
in Italian, that he was going to kill
him (deceased). Told her husband to
60 out to where the trouble was, and
witness went into the house because
her child had started to cry. Next
morning she went to the point in the
street where she had seen the men,
and picked up rock-the only large
one whereabouts. 1t was as big as two
fists. Picked it up in the presence of
her husband and brother-in-la law, and
handed it to the latter. Sheriff Gre
CORY afterwards put mark on it in
her presence. The rock was produced
and identified by the witness.
The case is in progress as we go to
press.

Mrs Mcmillan Married

The Oroville Register Of a recent
date gives the following account of the
marriage of Mrs Mcmillan, former
resident of Jackson, who left here for
her present home about nine years ago.
Her then husband, Mcmillan. a photo
grapher, formerly of the local gallery,

Oroville and Thermalito, who will ex-
tend to her their most sincere wishes
for happy and prosperous life. Her

Tito, is one of the most famous places
in this portion of the state. For the
past few years she has taken entire
charge OF the place, and now has grow
ing there plants and trees from almost
every country in the world. When the
' Newspaper Special of the Western
Pacific was in Oroville representa-
tive of the Scripps chain of news
papers. extending from the Atlantic
to the Pacific Ocean, was sent to inter-
view here. Following his visit, articles
descriptive of her place and the work

SUMMER HEADACHE.
How to Relieve It by Use of Fresh
Mint Leaves. uO.

How to Relieve It by Use Of Fresh
Mint Leaves. no.
Though mint under certain jovial
mixtures has been known to give many
a summer headache, it is also cure
for 1t. according to one sufferer.
A woman was much troubled with
headache that came from heat. She
tried many remedies unsuccessfully
until an old colored woman told her of
Il cure much used among southern ne
groes.
Fresh mint leaves are gathered,
crushed into juicy mass and bound
across the head with handkerchief.
Relief quickly follows. This is due,
thinks the woman, to the soothing odor
of the mint as much as to any healing
qualities. Soon after the potion was
applied she dropped into refreshing
sleep and usually awoke cured. In
very severe cases the woman mixed
a little witch hazel with the mint in
crushing it.

CLEANING CHINA AND GLASS.
How to Care For Fine Dishes and
Delicate Glassware.

1eNCdNo 1IHseWNEps
Ordinary everyday china may be
washed first I'm hot soapsuds, then in a
clear rinsing water, and dried with
soft, clean dish towels. A h0usekeeper
should watch her maid carefully to
see IL her methods of dishwashlng
are approved. She should provide her
maid with hand mop. a half dozen
good dishcloths, a soapsuds maker
that is, small receptacle to hold the
odds and ends of soap, which. when
shaken in the hot water. will create q
whole pailful of suds-and two dish
pans, one for washing and one for
rinsing. The maid must learn, and
she usually does by bitter experience,
that TO put delicate glassware into
scaldlng hot water means death and
destruction to the glassware The
same thing will happen II hot tea is
poured into a cold and brittle teacup.
This causes sudden expansion. and
the piece cracks either under the glaze
or quite through 1t. 1t is a simple
matter either to warm the cups by.
pouring in little warm water or by
putting them in q warm oven for
moment or. better still. by pouring
the tea over silver spoon resting on
the cup.
The heaviest cut glass cracks under
change Of temperature. An ice cream
dish Of this costly ware was once split
In half while the mold of ice cream
was being helped. Inquiry at the fac
tory disclosed the fact that the sudden
fall of temperature. combined with the
pressure in cutting the ice cream. had
caused the accident. Had the dish
been set in the refrigerator a little
while before the ice cream had been
served 1t would never have split in
half. In washing cut glass, therefore,
place it In warm water first before put
ting 1t in the hot soapsuds.
When cleansing delicate and costly
china strong soaps and soap powders
should be avoided. They will surely
eat into the gliding and decorations.
Either ammonia or borax Is safer. In
arranging handsome china on the
shelves soft mats should be placed be-
tween the plates to avoid scratches and
hicks. The cups should be hung by
their handles from hooks. This Is
much safer than piiing them up on the
shelves. Platters should rest length
wise in groove on the back of the
shelf.
In washing handsome glass and CHI
ma there should always be an exceed
ingly soft cloth to be used for a polish
er after the piece has been dried with
the usual dishcloth. In washing or
binary china it will be found that the
hotter the water the easier the pieces
are to dry and the SIMMER they will be,
