THE SUBSCRIPTION PAPER.
A, Western man started out
with u subsciiption paper to raise
a small fund to sink an experi
mental shaft in prospecting1 for
coal, and in his rounds he met the
town hog, who came to the place
without a dollar, and had made a
comfortable fortune, speculating
on the ignorance, credulity or mis
fortune of the inhabitants, ol the
financial embarrassments of the
municipality, and when asked to
contiibute So cents to the 1.)
fund, said he had no money to
invest in "such speculations.'
lie met the small souled chap,
who refused to contiibute because
somebody else did not.
lie met the lordly chap, who
gave lo cents, as he said, without
any expectation of ever seeing it
. agaiu, but as an act of charity, and
to get rid of the solicitor.
lie met the avaricious gentle
man, who would not subscribe
unless the experimental shaft was
sunk on his land, and with ihe
proviso that no other person be
permitted to dig for the coal in
five miles of him.
lie met the low-spirited citizen,
who told him he was a fool for
trying to do an'thing "in this
town."
He met the fractious bull-head
who was going to "buck again"
the project on general principles.
He met the large-minded man
who was satisfied the experimental
boring would cost "thousands of
dollars," and was unwilling to
contribute to an insufficient fund.
He met the little great man,
who had not been approached in
the proper manner and by the
proper party, and so would give
nothing. He would rather the
community at. large would suffer
and enterprise fail than to give
anything unless there was some
fuss made over him.
He met the man who wanted it
4
(announced in the paper if he gave
50 cents, and the brass band
brought out if he condescended to
bestow his patronage on the
matter.
lie met several public-spirited,
liberal-minded citizens, who will
ingly and gladly contributed to
the enterprise, the desired fund
was raised, the experiment shaft
was sunk, coal was found, and
now the former one horse town
has scores of successful coal
shafts in operation, two railroads,
five times the population it had
before coal was discovered, fine
schools and churches and all of its
people are prosperous and have
pi ent'. Reporter.
An Essay on the Vest
The vest is a useless article of
apparel worn by man. It is an
incumbrance handed down from
past generations and perpetuated
only through pure stupidit'. In
old times it was termed a "waist
coat." It was then a veritable
coat, intended for the protection
of the body. The regular coat
over it protected only the back and
arms, being cut entirely away
from the breast. The vest of to
day is a rudimentary garment,
it is simply a vestagc of a former
fashion. In summer it would be
gladly dispensed with did people
dare to do so. It adds another
thickness for the retention of ani
mal heat. In winter an additional
thickness of coat would serve the
purpose of the vest. The vest as
to use is simply a needless coat
without arms. It is principally
useful to tailors, enabling them to
charge for a needless piece of
cloth. A vest always survives
other garments. A man will wear
out three coats and four pairs of
trousers to one vest Such is the
force of custom that no man would
dare buy a suit of clothes without
the vest, though cut and worn in
such a manner that the vest is in
visible perpetually. As for vest
pockets they are a nuisance. They
become sink holes for old matches
and notes thrust in a hurry, which
one's wife finds because she knows
where to look for them. When
robbers rob a man they show
their contempt for the vest by not
firing if Tfey will deprive a
man of his trousers and his coat.
They leave the ve.t. Of what
use is a man ciad only in a vest?
Tin vest is only a cause and al
most an excuse for a poor-fitting
garment. Any man looks belter
in a buttoned-up coat a la miii
tarie. But a vest perpetuates the
fioek, double-breasted coat (though
why called double-bieasted none
c;in clearly tell), and the fit of
such a coat never lasts over two
months, since it depends almost,
entirely on the tailor's stiffening7
and smoothing iron, Thce are
stern facts. A bas the vest! Let
us form a society for the abolition
of the vest. The vest is useless
even in charity. Who would give
a beggar a vest? Tt would be
mockery. Graphic.
The Two Editors
There is a llaytian proverb, says
Judge Tourgee, that 1 have some
times thought might well apply to
news gatherers. 1 1 is rather a harsh
one; almost coarse. It hays: "If
you send the buzzard to market',
3ou will have carrion for dinner."
1 am afraid we have become in
the habit sometimes of sending the
buzzard to market. I remember
many yeais ago my first associa
tion with the public press. A man
situated at the head of the news
paper with which I was connected,
a man eminent in his community,
a man of high standing in his
church, of immaculate private re
lations, lie had this one maxim
which he gave to his reporters,
which he pressed upon them:
"Miss anything which happens in
the city except a bit of local -scandal.
That I want. You may leave
everything else out if you give me
that. That makes my circulation."
I have a thousand times put beside
him a great rough-worded and
rough-hewn printer boy who rose
to be an editor, with whom 1 was
once associated. He always said:
"Never put a world of dirt in my
columns. If ou must tell," he
would say with an oath, "it you
must tell a mean fact, tell it just
as briefly as you can. Don't let
me have any of the dirt. Because,"
he said, "I don't mean to be respon
sible for corrupting any girl's heart
before she puts on long dresses."
It was rudely stated. He was a
rude man. But 1 have a thousand
times thought that when the meed
of honor should come to be par
celed out in that upper and better
land, tho man that spoke his no
tions Vith an oath would stand
better than the man of whom the
community thonght so highly.
A Jury of Eleven Men.
During a trial of a c:ise last
week the counsel who was ad
dressing the jury found to his sur
prise that he was addressing but
eleven men. He called the atten
tion of the court to the matter and
an investigation was instituted.
Where the twelfth man was
seemed to be an extremely in
teresting and absorbing ques
tion. The inquiry led to the fact that
the aforesaid jury was cotnposcd of
only eleven men, one having been
excused; but when the jury took
their places a grand juror hap
pened in, it being recess time with
his jury, and seeing an empty
chair took it, was sworn to "well
and truly try the case," and pro
ceeded to do so for half a day,
when he, like the Arab, quietly
stole away and rejoined his origi
nal jury in the grand jury room.

A Novel Sight.
One of the most novel sights,
seldom if ever witnessed in any
other country except California,
can be seen on Dr. Glenn's Colusa
county ranch. It is said that men
are engaged in thrashing and sow
ing grain in the same field, while a
large volunteer crop is already up
two or three inches high and grow
ing nicely. JEere is this year's
crop of wheat beinjf put into sacks,
ready for shipment to tbe Euro

"Weather Signs.
The Mgnal service bureau has
resolved to enlarge its data for'
foretelling storm, and has ordered
or icqucsted its officials and scien-
tides, or well informed men, to
gather all the popular pioverbs in
exigence among all classes of peo-
pie, including Indians, coloiedi
people, and foreigners. Provcxbs,
relating to the sun, moon, stars,
rainbows, fogs, dew, clouds, frost,
snow, rain at different times of'
the dav thunder and -lightning j
in different parts of the year
winds at diffeient times of day
and from different points of the
compass. They are also asked to
collect predictions from the actions
of animal;, including bats,
oxen, cats, dogs, horses, mice,
wolves, hares, moles, pigs, rats,
blackbirds and almost all kinds of
birds, various fish, ants, bees,
beetles, crickets, flies, spiders,
frogs, gnats, wasps, bees; from
trees and plants, chickweed, clover,
dandelions, ferns, onions, pears, ap

also from chairs,tablcs cracked be
fore rain, etc., coais burning bright

lamps, rheumatism, salt, seed, sign
boards, smoke, soup, sound, strings,
toothache, walls. To these are
added proverbs relating to the
days of the week, the months, the
seasons, the weather throughout
the year, etc. There are many
people who have great faith in
weather lore, and a collection of
it tested by the scientific observa
tions of the bureau will be both
entertaining and instructive.
A Disastrous Subsidy.
The little town of Emdcn, Me.,
is in a sad financial plight. It
numbers less than S00 people, most
of them poor farmers, and, as the
place contains no manufactory,
the total value is not much over
200,000. In a sudden burst of
enthusiastic belief that a railroad
would bring new life and pros
perity to its doors, the town voted
that enterprise nearly one-fifth of
its valuation. The road was not
brought to Emden, however, and
does not even touch its limits at
any point, and the town not only
has not increased in its population
or business, but has a debt which
it is well nigh impossible to pay.
The bonds issued have been default
ed, and most of the residents are
said to be in favor of repudiating
them.
Geological examination of the
delta of the Mississippi now shows
that for a distance of about 300
miles there are buried forests of
large trees, one over the other with
interspaces of sand. Ten distinct
foiest growths of this description
have been observed, which it is be
lieved must have succeeded each
other. Of these trees, known as
bald cypress, some have been
found over twenty-five feet in di
ameter, and one contained 3,700
rings; in some instances, too, huge
trees have grown over the stumps
of others equally large. From
these facts, geologists have as
sumed the antiquity of each forest
growth at least 10,000 years or
100,000 for all.
