of home agricultural products, shall
be allowed to enter and "discharge
their returning cargoes, provided said
cargoes shall consist of manufactured
products, at any port of the United
States free of all customs duties.

Blackman went down town and
bought a revolver and the next morn

was in the kitchen, and killed him
Instantly.

Pertinent Farag-rapha.
The Selma enterprise publishes a
paragraph to the effect that the Cal
ifornia orchardist has a great advan
tage over him of Florida in the fact
that in this state fertilizers are
" scarcely considered, much less made
an item of annual expense." The
myth of an inexhaustible soil is about
exploded. Probably the land In Cal
ifornia was as rich as anywhere in the
world when settlers began cropping
it, and a great area of it is yet virgin
soil, but the most successful fruit
growers in California, who are making
prof.ts frova each acre such as aie
nevtsr dreamed of In Florida, are
spending more money than they do In
Florida for fertilizers, and the time is
coming when California will pay more
money for fertilizers than any other
area twice as great and make a better
profit on each dollar so paid, for her
climate is such as to draw out the
elements needed from the soil and
make better use of them in the build
ing up of grains of wheat, luscious
fruit and succulent vegetables than
any other.
Fruitgrowers cannot be too much on
the alert to guard against a condition
of affairs next summer in which a
combination of buyers can dictate the
price of fruit. It Is not enough to or
ganize for the shipment of fruit east,
for the eastern crop may be abundant
and glut the market this year. It
every fruitgrower were prepared to
dry his own product unless buyers
paid him a fair price there would be
more independence and more money
on the orchard farms.
The Peach Borer.
In southern Oregon, Mr. Carson re
ports no iarvsa of the Sanina Paclflca
are found, but he says that the larvas
of the flat-headed borer Is an enemy
to the peach. Here in the valley I
find both at work on the peach trees,
but the moth larva? is more abundant
than the larva? of the beetle. On the
college grounds about 20 three-year-old
trees were treated with carbolated
whale-oil soap, thinned with solution
of washing soda ( carbonate of soda,
cost about 2), cents per tree, two,
three or four years old, for each ap
plication). Five trees treated with
resin wash (full strength, as given in
report in California). Seven trees
wrapped with newspaper, several
thicknesses wrapped around trunk
from crotch to two or three inches be
low collar, and earth heaped about
bottom of paper. This was all done
between July 24 and 29. The trees
treated with the two first mixtures
had their trunks from crotch to collar,
and a little below, liberally slushed.
Every tree was carefully examined
before being treated and found ex
empt from borer.
Dec. 10 and 11 the trees were ex
amined. Those wrapped with news
paper were entirely exempt from at
tack, and those treated with carbol
ated whale-oil soap nearly exempt.
Those treated with resin wash Bhowed
a better record than those treated
with carbolated soap. The trunks of
all were in a fine condition.
Summarizing : Newspaper wrapping
seems to be the most sure though pos
sibly the most difficult to apply.
Either of the mixtures referred to
does good work" in keeping away
moths. One point here Is extremely
important, viz. : the earth should be
removed from around the tree for
three or more inches below the collar,
and a liberal supply of the mixture
(supposing a mixture to be used)
poured or "tlushed around the base
of the tree. The necessity" for this Is
shown by the condition of a large
number of seedling peaches which
were dug up at the college a few days
since.
Many large borers were found way
down in the roots, on trees where one
would not expect their presence.
They had In many instances entered
at a peach plum bud on Bide of soi
ling (destroying bud) and then worked
down to roots. Our dry season seems
to call for but one treatment if trees
are examined faithfully at proper in
tervals. The summer season is so
long, however, and in consequence
the moth is on the wing bo much later
than its eastern cousins, it would seem
advisable to make two applications,
one after the latter part of May and
one about the middle of August. The
newspapers, once on, are good for the
entire season. F. -Ii. Washburn of

A Yellow Scale Parasite.
Alexander Craw, quarantine officer
of the state board of horticulture, Is
engaged upon a series of interesting
experiments which will prove of value
to fruitgrowers throughout the state,
and particularly in the southern coun
ties. The yellow scale has been the
most destructive pest known to citrus
trees. Immense sums of money have
been spent in vain endeavors to erad
icate it Every known device was
employed, but without succesB, when
soon after the heavy rains of the sea
son of 1889-90 it was seen to disappear
from many trees. This led many to
assignthe cause of Its disappearance
to the rain, but subsequent investiga
tions demonstrated that this was not
the cause.
A small undescribed parasite was
discovered to be living on the Infected
leaves. It is a small fly which would
be overlooked by the naked eye. It
is perfectly developed and deposits an
egg upon the scale. The egg hatches
as a grub, which destroys the scale.
Mr. Craw is preparing a bulletin de
scribing the history of the insect, its
development and habits and great
benefit to the'healthy'growth of citrus
I trees.

There was a dissension among the
King's Daughters in San Francisco.
The money raised for the proposed
home for incurables was taken
charge of by a board of directors who
elected themselves to that position

and the other members asked by
what authority this was done. The

ated. Explanations were made. All
the King's Daughters may step into

Mrs. Langdon has been in Washing

Is there any field left where woman

young man who, a few years hence,
esteems it a privilege to hold her hand
and whisper sweet nothings to her will
need to be very careful. He cannot
fool her with tales of love and think
of another girl at the same time.

ONLY A WOUNDED DOC
The Influence of a Human Woman an a
Rough sad Crnel Crowd.
It was nothing but m yelping street
cur, whose leg had been'ran over by a
passing wagon, but it had a voice
pathetic and shrill enough to wake the
dead, gays tbe Congregalionalist.
"Get out!" yelled a man close to
whom it passed, and he raised his caue
to chastise it for offending his ears with
anch unearthly bowls; but the poor
brnte only ki-yi-d" the loader.
Scat!'r cried a bootblack, swinging
his kit around tbe lamp-post after the
cur. "Tie a can to its taiir he yelled
to some more boys, on second thought
and off they scurried after the caudal
ornament, only pausing long enough to
shy a stone, which produced a new and
more discordant series of yelps.
"Why doesn't some one call the
police to shoot him?" indignantly de
manded a well-dressed lady, stopping
her ears to shut out the sound. ' It's a
shame to allow such things!" And still
the dog's cries of pain rang shrilly
down the street
'If some one only had sense enough
to give him a dog-button, that would
soon quiet him." suggested a knowing
looking man with a leather case in his
band.
The drivers cracked their whips at
him from their seats; clerks ran ont
and wildly gesticulated at him to make
him stop; but still the car limped and
yelped along the gutter none of these
things seemed worth a cent so far as
topping bis noise was concerned.
Then every body stood still and
stared at a very unusual scene. A lady,
well dressed and refined in manner and
look, motioned the street boys nearest
her to stop yelling, and stepped quick
ly np toward the dog with a soft white
band outstretched, and some soothing,
soft-spoken words. The poor, fright
ened thing stopped, curled its tail be
tween its legs. and cringed down nearer
the curbstone as if expecting another
blow. She spoke to it again, calling it
poor doggie" and various pet names,
until it turned its wistful eyes in mute
pleading and allowed her to pat her
hand on it Then she stroked it softly
aod reassured it further, while a boy
ran to a near drug store for something.
She saturated her handkerchief with it
and bound up the dog's leg. In a
moment the brnte was perfectly pas
sive and had ceased even to whine.
She turned it over to the kind-hearted
Irish janitor of the big Equitable build
ing.wbo had taken in the situation and
brought ont a box partly tilled with
excelsior.
But before he could take it into the
basement the knowing man with a
leather case had changed his mind
about "dog-buttons," and saying that
he was a doctor, offered his services to
set tbe broken boner the ladr who had
talked of shooting the cur politely
tendered her own handkerchief - to
brush the dust from the bands of the
dog's friend, the boys came back with
out the tin can, and, gathering around,
proposed to "chip in" and buy some
bologna for the patient; and every one
went away saying: Well, I declare,sbe
must be very fond of dogs, and quite
used to their ways, to be able to do just
the right thing so cleverly."
She had never kept a dog in her life,
and was just the least bit afraid of
them; but she was tbe possessor of a
heart sensitive to the sufferings of the
meanest of God's creatures as to her
own, and her little act of thoughtful
humanity had stirred the better uatures
of those whose thoughtlessness only
would bare made them inhuman.

' Among the accounts of enormous
eaters there are, perhaps, none more
extraordinary than that related in
"Fuller's Worthies," concerning Nich
olas Wood of Harrison, Kent England.
The account says: He ate at one meal
a whole sheep, at another time thirty
dozen pigeons. At the residence of
Sir William Sidley he ate as much as
would have sufficed for thirty men.
At Lord Watten's in Kent, he devoured
eighty four rabbit's at one sitting,
which et the rate of a half a rabbit for
each man, would serve 163 men. At
breakfast he ate eighteen yards of
black pudding, and during the day ate
a whole hog. When accomodated with
fruit he ate three pecks of damsons.

entertaining, as an educated Irish
woman cannot help being. She was
telling me of a gathering in a certain
hotel parlor in the Green Isle soon
after one of the periodical uprisings
among the Irish people against land
lordism. In mentioning certain facts
regarding the persons present at this
meeting she spoke of the imprisonment
of this one or that as a matter of course.
I remarked that it was a strange con

A STORY OF BOSTON C0RBETT.
Bow and Why He Tried to Kill D.
Brown, of Cload Connty, Kaa.
D. L. Brown, of Concordia, Kas., was
at the Union Depot, says the Kansas
City Star, on bis way to the southeast
ern part of Kansas.
It was in the latter part of Decem
ber, 1886, on a Union Pacific passenger
train, that an attempt was made by
Boston Corbett the slayer of John
Wilkes Booth, to take Mr. Brown's
life. Corbett was a superstitious sort
of a fellow, and believing God hal
commissioned hira to care for tha
spiritual welfare of the people of Clond
County, they were harrassed with his
sermons depicting the horrors of tha
sulphuric regions and commanding
everyone to flee from tbe wrath to
come. Forbearance with these good
people had ceased to be a virtue, and
the feasibility of incarnating Corbett
in the State Insane Asvlam was talked
of.
At that time Mr. Brown was the
Probate Jndtre of Cloud Connty and
Corbett would necessarily have to be
brought before him and his sanity de
termined by jury before he could be
removed to the asylnm. Corbett
imagined that his oft-consulted friend
was at the head of tbe movement and
he resolved to kill him on sight Ac
cordingly he made sure that his old
army Colt's pistol, the one he used ia
shooting Booth, was in good trim and
awaited his opportunity. About that
time Corbett received notice from
some of the Republican leaders of the
state that If he would present himself
at the opening of the legislature he
would be given an appointment as
doorkeeper. He boarded the train at
Concordia one Monday morning for
Topeka, on the same day Hi. Brown
had decided to pay a visit to the capital.
Corbett walked into the coach with his
mammoth horse pistol strapped around
his waist Suddenly he saw Brown
hurriedly coming down the sidewalk,
grip in hand, toward the train. Cor
bett was wild in an instant and vocifer
ously announced his intention of shoot
ing as many leaden bullets into Mr.
Brown's corpulent frame as it would
bold. Tbe latter stepped onto tha
platform of the train just as it was
pulling out with not the least intima
tion of his danger. Corbett with his
revolver in his hand stood in the cen
ter of the coach, his face livid with
rage, waiting for his victim to turn th
knob of the door and enter. The pas
sengers in the car, notmore than half
a dozen including the news agent were
greatly frightened at the impending
danger. The latter, a boy of 18 years,
summoned up enough "courage to
pass Corbett and ro ont of the front
door and warn "Brown. The latter
entered the coach ahead and with a
handsome but deadly looking doable
action revolver in band awaited ao at
tack - from Corbett The latter en
deavored to force his way through the
door, but the conductor appearing on
the scene finally persuaded him to re- i
turn to his seat. Corbett kept his
hand on his revolver all the way on
the journey. The excitement of the
sessions of the legislatures and his re
hearsings of the killing of Booth al
most completely unbalanced his mind
How he adjourned the senate at tha
point of his revolver is well known.
FOOtINC THE CAMERA.
Skllllnlly Painted FaeeapKay Deceive tha
Lenses of the Photographers.
Some of our girls are learning haw
to be- photographed beautifully and
trickily "Have you observed and
wondered," said one of the most cele
brated of the camera men, "how well
the actresses manage to look when the
eve of the camera is focused on them?
Well.' I can tell yon how to do as well
as they do. - First, choose an artistio
photographer. No matter how much
you know about what you want and
what to wear, there are matters of
view, and light and shade, for which
you must depend absolutely upon him.
But be will not be able to advise yon
how to make np your face and will
probably object sweepingly to any such
device. That is where he is mistaken.
If he were wise he would know how to
pose a girl, and then with a bit cf
white and a bit of black chalk make
her lovely for that view- Several of
the New York photographers do this
now. ' Tbe stock pose, into which
photographers, on general principles,
put victims over whom they don't in
tend to bother, is three-quarters, which
is an abomination to most faces. Ther
is small chance for expression; the eye
gets no show at all. and the contour "of
the cheefc. whicb. is seldom beautiful
except in children, is betrayed. You
will find they have a rooted objection
to full-face positions. I have never
been able to discover why. There is a
tendency to raise one eyebrow higher
than the other, or look cross-eyed; bat
it is his business to look out for that,
and stop you if your features begin ta
wander around your face.
"Now. in painting a face for pho
tography the eyes can safely be made
np a great deaf. Pat black under the
eye, only don't let it be just one heavy
black line. Shadow it ont softly.
Blacken the lashes as much as they
will stand, only don't let them be
lumpy. Increase the apparent length
and sweep of the upper lid, by which
the size of the eye is judged, with a
line continuing the line of "the lashes,
and a parallel one continuing the Una
of the crease that shows just above
when the eye is open. Draw these
only as lon- as can be done without
their showing as lines. An actress ob
tained a clever picture, in which the .
effect of very long lashes is given by
lines, presumably shadows thrown by
said lashes, painted above the eye, just
under the eyebrows. Use red very
carefully. Your lips probably need
painting into an improvement upon
their own shape. Do it softly, and
with very faint red. Red takes black.
Look carefully and yon will trace a
hard line about the lips of many
actresses' photographs. Sometimes
yon don't need to look carefully. If
yon want a dimple to show - specially,
yon can heighten its light and shade a
little; but unless your photographer
poses you so that the device does not
betray itself the effect will be a fail
ure. Having thus accentuated your
face, don't distnrb its arrangement by
a smile, or smirk, or any other grimace
of expression when the lens is opened
on you. Otherwise, art and nature
will make a hopeless mess of your
features But if yon have planned an
expression in harmony with tbe make
up, save it till the last moment The -operator
is bound to grip the back of
your neck with his monkey wrench,
and if you hang on to your joyful
smile all through that ordeal you will
get something demoniac and wile
send to your friends." 21". YSun
