In effect, it j perjietually enjoins them from pastur ing their nocts on fores-t reserves, says the San Francisco Examiner. The Secretary of the-lnterior made a rule in December of 1S97 which slatd that the pasturing of sheep and goats on the public lands in the forest reserva tions was prohibited. The regulation further provided that a violation of the rule would, carry with it a penalty of a fine not to exceed $000 or imprisonment not to exceed six months. The sheepmen of Washington, Cal ifornia, Arizona and a number of other sections violated the rule and were con- scojiently arrested and tried in various United States District Courts. With out exception, the.- courts, iucludinf Jud,;e De liaven of this district, a:nl Judgo Wnllxwn of fvu'.tl.wn CsJiVinIa, held that the regulation was unconstitu tional and void, because the Secretary of the Interior had trespassed on the legislative function in promulgating such a rule, and that only Congress had the power to pass such a law. 1 he sheep men consequently overran these reserves, as pasturag-j there was much better than in other localities. Not only did tbe sluep destroy lliegra.- by cropping it to the roots, hut they al so killed the young trees by stripping them of their foliage. As the sheep men could not be prose cuted criminally, United States District Attorney Wood worth hit upon the idea of instituting a civil suit apainst them and thus perpetually enj'ffing them from allowing their sheep on the re serves. A" writ of injunction was granted last August by Judue Beatty, sitting for Judge Morrow in the Circuit Court, re- itrsiuing sheep men from pasturing heir herds on Government reservations, as it was declared that the animals were devastating them. In the face of Jhis order, a number of owners jiastured their flocks on the Stanislaus Frest Reservation aud four cf them were ar rested, convicted and fined $100, or sen tenced to .remain in prison ur.til such fine was paid. They paid their finis, but appealed the case. Sheep men ev ervwbere became interested. The sum mary action of the arrest of the four herders had the effect of causing al": sheepmen to remove their flocks froa; the reserves, but united them in fight ing the case. The decision of Monday is final. T t provisions no sheep can be p-istired on reserves without the pcrmissicSi oi the general land office, approved by the Secretary of the Interior. Card as Breeding.

It does rot require an expert to oh serve the careless breeding everywhere visible in the poultry yards of this country, says the Tacilic Homest ad Many farmers who w ould not tolerate a scrub in live stock lines will let any old froxen-toed mongrel rooster have full and lordly sway over the Hocks on his farm. There is a feeling in the breast of every farinerthat he can ill afford to keep scrub stock, but that does not apply to poultry and for that reason almost any kind is employed for breeding purposes. We are clad to note that some wide- ' awake farmers have observed that the same care in the seleciion of breeders in the poultry yard is necces-ary that is needed in other lines' and w here this is found there is a decided-improvement and a consequent satisfaction in grow ing poultry. The man who fetls that "poultry does not pay ' is sure to have that feeling realized, for he has no in centive to do any U tter than his feel in ca'l for f d tl l .is oie, of Ui:u., The old pictures so often painted that f.irmers gather up ail the poultry they can catch with the aid of the dog and all the hired men on the farm when it ir necessary to lake them to market and those ha ing the al iiit . and endurance to escape the vigor of man and dog in the chase are left as the breeding stock is only too true. Surely constitution is developed in ailoek of this kind and oc cassional! v i Ben. in; will be developed, as some of the fowls hide under the barn or in the weeds out of the reach of the in vaders. vThis is not the best way to se lect the breeders for another year. There is more than a racing constitution wanted in the m.ke-up of the up-to-date i hen. Constitutional vigor is a god j thing to have', but it should 1 accom plished by other valuable characteristics. The matter of ace will be Essential in the selection of the breeders and by Veeping a close watrli on the best ate t keep in the flock there will be an eye open for the layer and individuals possessing other ah:able characteristics. Utility point? will be looked after in the breed ing stock in the poultry yard as it la in the live stoct liarns. What we need i more good etock in the bre-.din pens and a letter and more careful system of selecting them each year. When this is tarried out with the same diligence that is exhibited in live stock then will the scrub go and not until then. One other tiling will be interesting to know by the average poultry keeper who Joes uo! think much about his poultry breed'nu. It is in cross-lreeding' Indiscriminate crtsa-breeding will most surely produce niongreisot the very worst type. So many feel safe in making such matinc on the ground that the nsle. are pure bred and the femala in; also pura bred, and no mistake be made. Not bo. The o.fspriiig tf cross-brevli;ig will cot be the equal of either parent and for tht rea-"n it ia liot advisable to engage in this practice. We have heard first and last, a great al about "Hell." The preachers have been preaching about it for gir.g on two thousand years, and great rcanv millions of human beinvs have been made very wretched by the wo:d pictures of the roaring flames and hide ous deTil, but the only hell that we need to bother ourselves about is the hell of a suilty conscience. So long as one can manage to steer clear of that inner hell it makes no dif ference about the other one. The hell witLin within the breast of the guilty is real, alwolute, grim and nnconi- . w . 1 1 promising, it noes not aepenu upon the preaching of thpreachera. It is in no way affected by the result of the "Higher Criticism." It has no connec tion whatever with creeds and cate chisms. Independent of ad human deeds and theories, it keep on its way, filling itself as the cannon ball goes to the target. Do wrong, and at that very moment you have made for yourself a penalty from which you cannot escape 1 Do wron", and you provoke the furies from which no amount of praying, no inter position of priest or person, no tort of ecclesiastical juggling, will be able to save vou ! The only way to be happy in this world is to do right, and nature will do the rest, hen temptation conies, ficht it down ; when evil companions would lead you into violating the com mands of. your better self tell them to begone; when the prospects of "pleas ure," so-ca-.led, or gain, or any other thing would induce you to depart from the path of plain and simple duty, stand firm, remembering that no sort ot "pleasure," no amount of "gain," can repay you for the loss of a peaceful, happy conscience. The laws of nature are absolute ; and while to those who obey them they give the "peace which passeth understand ing," they kindle the fires of hell in the 1 rast8 of those who fail to respect them. Roosevelt's Practical Religion. The Star of Bethlehem in 1911. It has been supposed that the star of Bethlehem, the herald of the Clifistian era, was in conjunction w ith two planets. Mr. David Forbes hazzarda tho sup position that it waa the comet called I Iall"y's comet, which has an interval of approximately 75 years, 10 months and u days. It was last visible in Oct ober, 5J833, aud will probably, therefore, be sea again in 1911. Halley, who saw the ..ft in 1082, predicted its re turn ir. 173'. Several reappearances haw1:yn observed.

After fifteen years of effort on the part of Taeoma the Puyallup Indian reaerva lion is absolutely open for the sale of allotted lands without restriction. The Interior Department has deride I that under the act c'f March 3, 1S'.13, the ten year restrictions Uon the sale of Indian lands have expired by limitation, and hereafter the Puyaltups may sell or in eumbertheir lands like white men. The Puyallup reserve skirts the eastern boundary of Tacotua, only a mile from the t nsinesa center of the city. It ha prevented fche growth of Taeoma, east ward cp the Puyallup valley, together with the utilization of the greatest por tion of the tide fiats hr manufacturing purposes. Commencing fifteen years ago. no less than five Pnyallup commissions have been apjointed either to investigate ti e subject of opening the reserve or of sell ing the lands under restrictions laid 'down by acta of Congress. While ac complishing something in the way of selling land, these comTnis.sions hav been very expensive. Hereafter all sales through the Commis-im will cease excelling the unsold portion of the In Han addition to Taeoma, which is Ixing sold for school fund pnrj"Sv5.

President Roosevelt's ad:?re i:i con Lection w ith the celebrating of the 200th anniversary of John Wesley is already quoted and commented on by the Paris papers, which draw parallels between President Roosevelt's appeal to elite in tellects to come forth from cloistered se clusion and take part in t!:e burly-burly of humanity and the raw facts of actual life, and the divtrinal and somewhat sectarian article entith-d "Babel and Bible, O lerr and Disorler, Revolution and Tradition,"- written by Emperor William and published ia the Creur. beten. French papers oint out that Pres ident Roosevelt's sturdy, practical God fearing religion calls on men to work, act and fiht and rely oil their own strong arms and brains, while with Kaisar William the principles of divine right an l the hand of God are par amount and dominant, permeating all else. To the Parisian mind President Roosevelt stands forth as the champion of progress, while Kai-er William Is the jersonification of tradition and conser vatism. The Temps and Eclair dwell on the significance of the fact that Emperor William and President Rooseveit, who emlodv respectively the ideas f Ger manic and of American civilizations, both lean more and more toward Chris tianitv and reverence for the Supreme Being, but the Latin races, on the con trary, trend more aud more toward free thought and religious disintegration.

Tho hist report show that the inspectors at San Francisco are now griing into every room in the Chinese tenements, and making thorough investigation of tho sanitary conditions. There has been but one death from the plague since January 15 and the number of cases is being re duced to a minimum. Kentucky Republicans for Roosevelt While there may be anti-Roosevelt i-tii'S in stales furthur south, it can be said postively that Kentucky will cast her solid vote in the next national con vention for Theodore Roosevelt. In fact it is said that Mr. Roosevelt has more admirers among the leaders here than any other Republican President ever had. Consequently if an nnti-Roo.se-velt movement is started it will get lit tle sympathy from Kentucky. A Common Benefit. From statements made in the public press it appeas that the big iarking houses are preparing to po into the bus iness of storing other food commodities beside butter, eggs and poultry, says the Sliclugsn Jarnier.

Russo-Turkish War Probable. boms publicists are ot the opinion that only the sternest language towards Turkey can prevent a war between Rus sia and Turkey in the spring.

Tung and Tuan are declared to be the villians of the plot, aud the Standard correspondent thinks that the idea ouce ain will be the powcrlessnesa of the rourt to check rebellion. The nothern hordes will come down under the two xiled leaders and nominally overpower Pckin and at the same time swell their 1'llowing w ith all the forces in the espi al and legin a grand march of exter mination azainst everything foreign. l'his time, however, the Yangtse region and every port must rise simultaneously and for this purpose all the Yangtse de- lensel are bein brought to Lightest state of effectiveness.
