A well known gentleman of Savannah, Mr. Lincoln, said to a reporter recently: "I notice in the morning's paper on interesting little account how a dog was made to taint in a case in which he was claimed by a soldier who had at one time been in the English army in India. According to the account the soldier said that if the dog did not understand the Hinduastat language he would not claim him, but if he did he would consider the dog belonged to him. When the case was called in court the soldier spoke something in the Hindi tongue and the dog immediately recognized him, and running through the crowd, jumped into the witness box and fawned on the soldier. Mr. Lincoln said that a somewhat similar case occurred in Savannah, many years ago, before steamships went to that port. A gentleman owned a very valuable mocking bird. AGRICULTURAL NOTES. Let Us May the Mends. A more hopeful finding prevails among the people of the Modesto district concerning irrigation matters. Since the publication of the report of Engineer Baker we have intervened with many in reference to the outlink. Several of those who were opposed to presiding under the former estimate made by Engineer Grunsky because of the magnitude of the phiene and the enormous figure involved, new express themselves as being willing to co-operate in pushing work under the new survey. The amount non-templated in Engineer Baker's report is no reasonable as to render the building of the canal both feasible and practicable. Property owners in this district soon determined that nothing shall prevent the completion of the work outlined in Mr. Baker's report. After the nonimmediacy have been taken to set aside certain lands from the district and re-incorporate other lands from the district as provided in a recent amendment to the Wright law, the only delay likely to occur will be in the sale of bonds, as has been experienced in other districts. There can be little doubt that in time the bonds of every district in the State will be placed. The urgency of the need of water and the peculiarly favorable nature of the securities offered will insure that. We have it from a reliable source that the bonds of the Alta district, in Tulare county, will be positively taken as soon as they are issued. This will pave the way for other districts. Capitalists will fall in line and bid for bonds as they are insured by other sections, because they will find the investment advantageous ones. To show that our people are determined and in earnest we mention the fact that a movement is on foot to place a large share of the bonds of the district among the property owners of the Modesto district. A number have already signified their willingness to purchase bonds in various sums, according to their means. We see no reason why the entire amount cannot be taken here. No one will dispute the absolute security of the investment, and our people are clear-sighted enough to know that aside from the benefits that will accrue from an irrigating canal, and the consequent enchantment in the value of bonds.

A Mahometan would not think there was anything laughable in this anecdote from The Vermont Journal; he would simply say, "It was the man's fate." A popular minister in Pifehshire, in the good old times, used at Christmas time to be indulged with hampers filled with good things. On one occasion an enormous turkey was sent to him by the thoughtful kindness of a neighboring farmer, but as the minister's family had already provided for the Christmas dinner, the bird was sent to the market and sold. A passer by, seeing this fine specimen of poultry, said, "What a splendid turkey! Just the thing for the minister's Christmas dinner!" To the minister it was again sent. The prudent wife sent it a second time to the market, and sold it again for a handmade gum. Another friend, similarly struck with the magnificent proportions of the turkey, purchased it, and also sent it to the minister. Not wishing to fly in the face of Providence, the good man said at last, "It is clear the Lord means us to have this turkey," and, with the entire approbation of the family, it formed a part of the Christmas dinner—Youth's Companion. Mr. Lincoln said that a somewhat similar case occurred in Savannah many years ago, before steamships went to that port. A gentleman owned a very valuable mocking bird, of which he thought a great deal. The bird was stolen. The gentleman was very much put out about it, and hunted everywhere to recover it. He heard of a visitor from the north who had purchased a mocking bird and was about to leave the port on a malling vessel. The gentleman concluded that he would go down to the vessel to see if the bird was not his. Upon reaching the vessel more enough he found a man with a mocking bird which he at once recognized as the one he had lost. He told the visitor that the bird belonged to him, and the visitor asked how he could recognize the bird from any other, and was unwilling to give it up until some evidence had been given of ownership. The Savannahian finally said that he would go down to the vessel to see if the bird was not his. Upon reaching the vessel more enough he found a man with a mocking bird which he at once recognized as the one he had lost. He told the visitor that the bird belonged to him, and the visitor asked how he could recognize the bird from any other, and was unwilling to give it up until some evidence had been given of ownership. The Gentleman replied that he would whistle an air, and if the bird took it up and followed him it ought to be sufficient evidence of ownership. If the bird did not follow him then he would make no further claim to it. He whistled the tune, "St. Patrick's Day in the Morning," and the bird joined in and whistled it through without an interruption. The magistrate says: "I am satisfied the bird is yours. I don't want any further evidence of the fact of ownership." The visitor was charmed and wanted the bird very badly, and offered $100 for it, but the owner refused to part with it for any amount—Savannah News. Food for Gophers. It occurs to me that people do not give sufficient attention to the diet of their gophers in orange orchards. The ground is generally kept free from weeds and nothing is left but the bark of the roots and trunk of the tree for them to eat. There is usually a greater variety of food for them where other crops are cultivated, and one does not need to be so solicitous concerning their movements. Some time since I observed the gophers eating with a good deal of relish the celery growing in my garden. I had observed before (as doubtless you have) that if you allow them to get hungry they are omnivorous creatures. Nothing is too good or too poor for them, but the delightful aroma of the celery seems to incite them to special effort to make multitudinous channels (useful for sub-irrigation, of course) along the rows. I therefore, endeavored to add to the variety of the food of the gophers that attempted to make their home in my orange orchard by supplying them with celery, and, it being the time of year when bitters are a good tonic and corrective in digestion, I added to the celery, cut in inch lengths, a little powered strychnine mingled with equal amount of sugar, because strychnine is so bitter that one is apt to give too much. I found several places within and around the borders of the two groves, where the gophers had raised a mound to mark their respective abodes. With a garden trowel I diligently sank a shaft to the main or branch runways, and put the attractive morsel where its delightful odor would quickly reach the olfactory organs. I had previously fed them raisins, potatoes, etc., which they sometimes found, and ate, but the celery drew as a magnet draws the iron, and a mere fragment of it appeased their hunger forever. To test how small an amount would do, I fed an inch piece of celery so prepared to live, healthy gopher which I had domiciled in a 5-gallon tin can, and the sixteenth part of an inch sufficed to make his gnawing hunger cease, and so the inch would provide a large balance to attract his friends and neighbors. In every case on a second visit I would find no more gophers to feed, and I would have to seek new grounds when I wished to supply my rodent flock with this variety of food. Probably celeriac would answer as well—Charles R. Paine, in Redlands Citrograph. Dried Grapes. At the last meeting of the Grape Growers' and Winamakers' Association in this city the disposition to be made of the coming crop of wine grapes was a subject that received much attention. The probability of another sea-pave the way for other districts. Capitalists will fall in line and bid for bonds as they are insured by other sections, because they will find the investment advantageous ones. To show that our people are determined and in earnest we mention the fact that a movement is on foot to place a large share of the bonds of the district among the property owners of the Modesto district. A number have already signified their willingness to purchase bonds in various sums, according to their means. We see no reason why the entire amount cannot be taken here. No one will dispute the absolute security of the investment, and our people are clear-sighted enough to know that aside from the benefits that will accrue from an irrigating canal, and the consequent enchantance in the value of lands and property, which will also increase the value of securities; the bonds themselves as a business investment will be good property. There is sufficient property in the city of Modesto alone to secure the bonds, to say nothing of the 80,000 acres that will be under the canal. If our people take hold of this matter carnely and purse it with zeal, the future of this section is assured. We like the way they are talking at the present time, and believe the outlook was never more encouraging—Modesto Neck. After able held his respect.

I never knew till quite recently how easy it was to open a padlock without a key. We moved to a new house a week or two ago, a dozen blocks west of Grand avenue. We took with us some exceptionally fine chickens, including a rooster, which weigh fifteen pounds, and which has to be lifted on to its perch each night. The chicken and coal houses are attached in our new yard, and when the first load of coal arrived my wife was out and I couldn't find the key. The colored man who handed the coal got impatient, and, taking from his pocket a small piece of very dirty wood, proceeded to insert it in the padlock, which he opened in a trunk. The case with which he performed the first was a revelation to me, and the way he looked at my pet rooster was a warning. Before I went to bad that night I was the owner of a new padlock, with a patent arrangement, which the vendor assured me would duty the most dexterous of lock pickers. Up-to-date my chickens are still on hand—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A Friend in Need. There is a pretty story being told about the wife of President Dias, of Mexico, which is worth telling. The Spanish Opera company, although it drew a good deal of money in this city, did not make enough to acquire its old debts and carry on its further interest. The principals had enough money to get back to Mexico, but the musicians and the chorus people were stranded. It means one of the musicians was something of a post, and he had dedicated some venues once or twice to Mina Dias. She was very much pleased with the compliments and told him if she could ever serve him in any difficulty she would be happy to do it. He resulted her provision in the straits he was in, and he telegraphed the facts to the president's wife. He asked her if she could assist the poor squares people to go back to Mexico. Immediately a telegram came from the blind lady authorizing them to be sent home at her expense, said to be some $3,000—San Francisco Chronicle. If you let others think for you, you will soon find yourself adrift on the endless shores of indulgence. You will always find it harder to talk; but the sea is better than the ocean. The writer man in the maze who learns what so enchanted provided for the Christmas dinner, the bird was sent to the market and sold. A passer by seeing this fine specimen of poultry, said, "What a splendid turkey! Just the thing for the minister's Christmas dinner!" To the minister it was again sent. The prudent wife sent it a second time to the market, and sold it again for a handmade sum. Another friend, similarly struck with the magnificent proportions of the turkey, purchased it, and also sent it to the minister. Not wishing to fly in the face of Providence, the good man sold at last, "It is clear the Lord means us to have this turkey," and, with the entire approbation of the family, it formed a part of the Christmas dinner—Youth's Companion. Dried Grapes. At the last meeting of the Grape Growers' and Winamakers' Association in this city the disposition to be made of the coming crop of wine grapes was a subject that received much attention. The probability of another season of low prices was acknowledged, and the feasibility of drying a large share of the crop was discussed. Those who are in favor of this gave figures and made statements which, if true, are highly encouraging. But on the other hand facts and figures are at hand which do not give so rosette a hue to the scheme. It is well for the owners of vineyards of wine varieties to study well this matter beforehand in all its bearings, and for that reason a brief summary will be given of both sides of the question. In support of the drying proposition it is alleged that considerable shipments were made to the East last year at prices which gave the producer from 3 to 4 cents a pound. That large shipments were made is not disputed. But when it is remembered that the producers of choice raisins-only received 3½ to 4¾ cents a pound last year it certainly does not look reasonable that similar prices should have been paid for and inferior quality of dried grapes. It is stated that there is a good prospect in the East for the disposal of a large amount of dried grapes in that market at 3½ to 4¾ cents a pound. This certainly does not look as though producers were to receive 3 to 4¾ cents a pound for fruit that is to be carried thousands of miles and sold for the same figure. When the freight of $1.40 a pound, with commissions and all the items of expenses that are invariably assumed against the producer, is deducted from the Eastern selling price, how much will be left the grape grower? A large shipment of dried grapes is recommended to be made to France for sale to winemakers there. Nothing is said in that recommendation as to the prices that prevail in that country for such fruit. But in another place it is learned that immense quantities of dried grapes are sold annually in France, and that the price is about 3 cents a pound. In still another place it is learned that last year something over 100,000 tons of dried grapes were sold in France for winemaker. These were of various qualities, the first being a grape that much resembled the Missouri raisin of California. The price ranged from 2 to 5 cents a pound, the latter figure being paid for the finest quality only. There does not appear to be any unsupplied demand for dried grapes in France; hence it is reasonable to suppose that the preparation of any large portion of the California raisin has been difficult in a depression of prices; should be necessary all the time of trade such grapes must be being sold at this point.

Prophecies determined the completion of Baker's report. We have taken to the district and from the district amendment to the likely to occur issue has been exchanged. There can be bonds of every type placed. The water and the securities we have from it are bonds of the Alta will be positively issued.

It would doubtless be a very fine thing for the communists and the transportation companies, when they are unable to be simply recommended for their services in any event. If they cannot meet the proper growth to dry their fruit and interfere in their tender matters so one will doubt for a minute but they will find a good market—our terminals. But before going to any expense or taking any risk in the matter, let the vignette initiate well into it. Despite what has been said, the Chronicle takes the position that it has always maintained in this matter—that those who have tried wine grapes in the past have done so at a loss in the majority of cases, and that some other situation of difficulty must be found than that. —Chronicle. A Fake Friends. With a characteristic desire to regard progress and impede improvement, a local contemporary has been knitting the Wright irrigation law. With its characteristic methods, too, in full play, this small paper does its stabbing under the guise of friendship, calls its country readers "friends," and then strikes the blow and "takes them down the bank." Fortunately the interior papers are fully awake to the class of warfare and are hastening to expose the unfriendly nature of the action. One of these is the Tulare County Times, and its rebuff is so convincing and plain that it is worthy of notice. The first point of our local contemporary's attack is that the irrigation districts formed under the Wright Act are private organizations. To this the vary pertinent reply is made that the Supreme Court of the State in two well-considered opinions has said that they are public corporations. The next stab lies in the assertion that there is no tangible property to pledge to secure the repayment of money advanced for bonds. In excellent parity to this blow the Times quotes section 17 of the Wright bill, which reads as follows: Section 17.—Said bonds, and the interest Manchester's Wonderful Minute. Now, here is a perfectly five minutes not hundredth published, and it was told to me by a leader of Plymouth church, right after but Sunday's evolution session by Browden. I had asked whether the origination would stay with the pastor if he made a new end further departure from orthodoxy, and he replied that Browder's emotional power over them was equal to any requirement. "In the height of what has gone into history in the Munich council," he continued, "It was at one juncture the tone up of a man whether we attempt to him or not. The push against him at that juncture seemed almost conclusive, and his most intollectual and simultaneous friends would make no argument, but assert their blind faith. Most of us subsequently thought the trial elicited him, but it was not so when at a certain Friday prayer meeting, his atmosphere was fairly oblated by doubts and an ominous connotation. Browder took his mind upon the lower platform—he remained mated during this service—and as he looked round the ammunition he appeared to me for the moment to be crumbled by the situation. Deposition and narration were expressed in every line of his strong face. "He slowly turned the leaves of the Bible to select a passage of Scripture to read. His choice was that famous path of conation and faith, beginning. The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not wash." His eyes were not on the page, and throughout it was a recitation from memory, not a reading. There was an almost pleasant tone of appeal in the utterance of the autumn, as though it was his prayer for the fulfillment of a divine promise, rather than a declaration of confidence. Then he went on quietly, faraway, as though somewhat reminiscent of past religious sweetness in his experience. He makes me lie down in green panorama. He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul." Into the succeeding moments he injected, as clearly as though he had interpolated and explicit assertion of his personal rectitude, a spirit of hold self-virtuating. "He leadeth me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake." The accused pronouner's head was new hold high, his voice was declamatory, and something of defiance was in his main. "But after a silent moment, his agent..." Capitalists bonds as they are because they will gross ones.

The Mission Olive Charles Dondero, the Italian olive expert of San Francisco, says: "As no fine wine can be made from the Mission grape, neither can any fine oil be made from the Mission olive." Assertion is not proof. Mr. Cooper makes his oil from the Mission olive, and sells it at $11 a gallon, while the best varieties of the imported Italian oil bring only $250 to $350 per gallon. If the Mission oil is inferior, why does it bring a better price? It is true the Mission grape had to be crafted to better varieties. This took but a year or two; yet if we should wait ten or fifteen years for the Mission olive to come into bearing, and then find that other varieties of olives produced an oil which brought a much higher price in the market, the consequences would be serious to many, but we do not believe that such will be the case. One variety of apples bears heavier than others, one kind brings a much higher price than others, but when all are good each finds a read sale. This might hold true of the olive for pickles, but in the oil it would be different. Hence we say that Mr. Dondero's assertion needs proof. It is a serious question to many, and during the past winter this same idea caused the almost total cessation of the putting out of olives in this part of the State. Let our fruit societies fully discuss this question for it will materialize in the utterance of the sentence, as though it was his prayer for the fallishment of a divine premise, rather than a declaration of confidence. Then he went on quietly, serenely, as though somewhat reminiscent of past religious sweetness in his experience. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He landeth me beside the still waters. He resteth my soul.' Into the unmending sentence he injected; clearly as though he had interpolated and explicit assertion of his personal attitude, a spirit of hold self-vindication, "He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake." The second preacher's head was new held high, his voice was declamatory, and something of defiance was in his mein. "But after a silent moment, his apes changed utterly, indicating that the weight of his trouble had been lifted for an instant, only to return oremingly. Tears came into his eyes, and his voice was tremulous as he proceeded: 'Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will tear no evil, for Thou art with me.' Again a paan, with enamelling exaltation: "Then prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Then amotten my head with oil; my cup runneth ever." By this time tears were dropping from half the eyes in the house, and the sofa of deeply affected women were heard. Becherer is a poor reader. His part in the recent author's exhibition was disappointingly tame, so bed was his elocation. But this was impulsive, emotional, with those qualities which make him impassioned preaching so wondrously effective. "The final lines were delivered in a ellimax of quivering agitation. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." That psalm won the eos for Beech or so far as his own people were concerned."—Chicago Herald. superstitious A daughter born during the waning moon is always precocious. A sufficient preventive against harm for an Irish babe is a belt of woman's hair. Garlic, salt, bread and steak are first put in the cradle of a new-born child in Holland. A pair of tongs or a knife put in the cradle will satisfy the Welsh mother as her child's safety. The knife is also used in parts of England. A small bit of red ribbon fastened is all the Romanian infant requires to secure it from harm, while the Eathonian mother attaches a bit of saffetida to the child's neck. In modern Greece the mother, before putting the child is its cradle, turns three times around before the fire while singing her favorite song to ward away evil spirits. The Turks load the child with amellets as soon as it is born, and a small bit of mud, well steeped in a jar of hot water, is stuck on its forehead. Among Voages peasants children born at new moon have their tongues better hang than others, while those born at the last quarter have less tongue but reason better. The Swedish mother puts a book under the head of the new-born infant that it may be quick at reading, and puts money in the first bath to guarantee its possession in the future. Marinera do not like to have a corpse on board. It is unlucky to point with the finger at a ship while at sea. The nails and hair must not be cut at sea except during a storm. Rats are supposed to leave a vessel only when it is going to mink. It is unlucky to anneze on the left side at the moment of embarking. A knife stuck in the mast, the killing of a pig, or whistling are each believed to bring wind. The stormy petrel is supposed to herald bad weather, and the great rain to tell whether land is near.

Just think of plowing to a depth of fourteen inches, as they have done at the culture station this year. We heard an old Talaraan, who has traveled about the country a good deal, declare the other day that there isn't a piece of wheat that was plowed with a single plow and plowed deep that will not make a fine crop, and that his experience has convinced him that if men would burn up their gangplows and plow deep, harrow thoroughly and roll well they would not miss one crop in five. We would like to have some more evidence upon this point, but we want it from actual experience, not conjuncture. Some time in every growing season we have a long dry spell, which gives the vitality of the grain a pretty severe test. This period safely passed, a fine crop is almost certain nearly any year. The thing of it is to retain the moisture through the dry spell. — Tulare Register. Snirrle and Gepharn. It may be of service to farmers to know of a successful experiment just made at Arno farm. With the increase of fences, of improvements, of grain and alfalfa, there has been a large increase of gophers and squirrels. Mounda to fifty yards in diameter down to grain did not produce a single blade. The squirrel lived there, puffered the seed and destroyed beside a large margin of the crop around. Within the past ten days nine of the largest of three mounds having an average of forty squirrel holes have been operated on. Beginning at the lower holes and ending with the top ones, a dozen of carbon hemiphide was poured a distance of two to three feet into each hole and the hole then elonged with earth. These lively shades have become "Cities of the Dead." Not a hole has been repaired, not a squirrel has been, not a shrill whistle has been heard from the once lively sniffers. Double them are dead. The work is quickly done; there is no danger of poisoning stock; there is no unnecessary cruelty for the parts as above unfounded; there is no soll from domestication for the animals one infant. The work is clean and cannot inflict this damage. The coat in moderation, even when their nose are many and so grimous as these given in this instance. Mariners do not like to have a corpse on board. It is unlucky to point with the finger at a ship while at sea. The nails and hair must not be cut at sea except during a storm. Rats are supposed to leave a vessel only when it is going to sink. It is unlucky to anseeze on the left side at the moment of embarking. A knife stuck in the mast, the killing of a pig, or whistling are each believed to bring wind. The stormy petrel is supposed to herald bad weather, and the great jack to tell whether land is near. The cat is generally disliked by sailors, but a cat will not be thrown overboard, as this would bring on a storm. Cornwall (England) millers will not walk at night along portions of the shore where there have been wrecks, as they believe that the souls of the drowned inhabit those localities. The Fortune of Opportunity. Philip Gilbert Hamerton, in June Brieder, writes: The nature of every man is so myterious, so immensurable and undefinable, that what seems to others the narrowest mental organization may contain within itself unexpected resources. This is the hidden cause of the invariable appearance of great men in times of national trial and disturbance. At such times quiet, unpretending individuals come to the front by the forces of nature that formerly lay enmeshed within them, and they win fame, perhaps immortal fame, like Cromwell, Grant, Lincoln, for qualities that would normally have attracted notice in common life and in ordinary times. The fact of such appearances of great men ought to warn us against the presumption of settling bounties to the future of any one, except in matters where technical excellence is a necessity. If Jones cannot play the fiddle at 20 years of age we may safely predict that he will never become an accomplished violinist, but when there is no technical obstacle, the limits cannot be fixed. Scott fell into novel-writing suddenly, and a very trivial circumstance (in search for fishing-tackle that made him unable open the unfinished manuscript of "Worries") ensued him to rename it after a first abandonment. George Elliot spent her time in trampling German philosophical books, not at all supporting the existence of her own gifts as a novelist, until Lewis urged her to make experiments. A possible external cause in either of these cases would have left the gift dormant forever. If Brynn had not appeared Scott would have remembered the first post, so that he would not have trained to prince; for likley and Keats quoted for hardly anything in these days, and Worries was unsopportunal. If Miss Kearn had married a rich ordinary man she intellectual side of her nature would have ever indented the article, and she would never have been anything more than a student and exporter of philosophy. Unthinking people express an indemniment as an excuse of this kind which is intuitively unreasonable. They think it very unimportant that any one should respond in a parallels for which he has not been blinded, but thus never happens.
