Passing Thoughts.
Ah the trials of life thicken and
the dreams of oth«r days fade one
by one in the deep vista of disap
pointed hope, the heart grows
weary of the struggles, and we be
gin to realize our insignificance.
Those who have climbed to the pin
nacle of fame, or revelled in lux
ury and wealth, go to the grave at
last with the poor mendicant who
begs pennies by the wayside, and
like him are soon forgotten. Gen
erations after generations have felt
as we feel, and their fellows were
as active in life as ours are no w .
They passed away as vapor, while
nature wore the same aspect of
beauty as her creator commanded
her to. And so, likewise shall it
be when we are gone. The heav
ens will be as bright over our
graves as they are now around our
path; the world will have the same
at f .ractions for offsprings y«t un
born that she had one for ourselves
and that she has now for onr child
ren. Yet a little while, and all
this will have happened. The days
will continue to move on, and
laughter and song will be heard in
the very chamber in which we died
and the eyes that mourned for us
will be dried, and will glisten wtih
joy, and even our children will
cease to think of us aud will not
remember to lisp our name. Thus
quickly will pass the memory of
each life; and how much more
quickly if that life is not worthy of
emulation by those who follow us.

The Home Paper.?
No paper that is local in its. in
terests can ever be supported withr
out home patronage and every man
should be interested in keeping up
home papers. If a road or some
public improvements is wanted the
newspaper works for it. If & pub
lic meeting is wanted the .news
paper is called upon to notice it. If
a section is misrepresented by the
outside press, the home office must
vindicate it. If any one of the
societies have a supper or enter
tainment of any kind, the news
papers are expected to give a com
plimentary notice. The newspap
ers must enumerate and put forth
the superior advantage of soil and
climate and scenery of its sections
as well as to /give the people of the
place a handsome notice now and
then.—Oroville Mercury.
Broken hearts are common en
ough in novels, but they are rarely
found in real life. One of these
rare instances is reported from
Toledo, O. Mr. S. S. Parker, of
that city has a son who lias long
been a sorrow aud a shame.to him.
The son was arrested the other day
on the charge of forging his uncle’s
name. Last Wednesday the sor
rowing father visited his son in
jail. The shame of it was too
much for him. she next day he
complained of being very unwell,
and that evening was found dead in
his room. An examination showed
that ; he had died of a broken heart
His heart was actually ruptured into
distinct parts. The physician who
made the autopsy said that he had
never seen such another case—. Ex.
Nearly one hundred thousand
acres are devoted to peanuts in
Virginia. This crop could be more
extensively grown with profit iu

land is well adapted to its success
ful cultivation.
Desert Land Proof.
The general lan<| office has re
cently rendered ah important de
cision as to what constitutes eul:i~
vation under the desert land act,
in a case where it was claimed that
the raising of hay crops for two
seasons was sufficient. The com
missioner decides that this is not
sufficient and says: “The term cul
tivation in the desert land law is
held to mean the tilling of the soil
by agricultural processes in order
to raise crops; not mere irrigation,
ft is impossible to determine lit
t.his case whether the hay raised
was the product of native grasses
or not. If it was, though produc
ed by irrigation, there has not been
such cultivation shown aa is re
quired.” This decision will have a
wide-spread effect and it seems
that proof must show the planting
of seed find the resultant crop on
one- eighth of the land sought tolie
patented.—Ex.
Wheal Statistics*
From, and including, 1882 to
1893, the world produced 26,563,-
751,767 bushels of Wheat. The
greatest yield was in 1892, which
amounted to 2,339,607,629 bushels.
In that year the Uhited States
produced 515,949,000 bushels, be—
iug 204,649,000 bushels more than
France, the next greatest producer.
This year’s crop in tlip United
States is 391,000,000 bushels, being
55,440,000 bushels more than Rus
sia and Poland, the next highest
producer. In these figures giving
the world’s production Guba, China
and minor countries are not in
cluded, they having no official re
ports. One peculiarity of this re
port is that Mexico has the same
amount for every year, 19,000,000
bushels. Switzerland has the light
est crop and Sweden and Norway
combined, is next.
A minister once had a swearing
parrot. He complained to a friend
and the latter told him how to cure
the bird of its profanity. He said
as soon as the bird begins to swear
swing the cage around rapidly ten
times and then douse* a bucket of
water on the parrot. The next
time the parrot began to swear the
minister didf as directed. Then,
after setting the cage down, he
glanced at the bird, half dazed and i
with all of its feathers ruffled, and
asked: Well, now, how do you j
feel?” “O,” said the parrot looking j
up out of one eye in a quizzical 1
manner, “I’m all right, but where |
in the h—l were' you when the I
cyclone struck us? j
Taylor Branaman, driver of the f
Riverside stage, brought in nows of I
the attack on a man hy a coyote. I
An old man called “Doc” had
. camped on the divide just beyond I
Donnelly’s, Tuesday night Wed- 1
, nesday morning, just at break of I
j day, while he was wide awake and 1
just on the point of arising, a coy—
l ote sprang upon him arid bit him H
I several times in the face, severely. I
He shook him off and got up, when I
> the animal attacked him the second H
, time, but he finally be<*t him off. It »
[ is very unusual for a coyote to at— I
tack a human being, and this ani- ■
mal must have been starving or
mad.—Tribune. I
