USEFUL SNOW. . Bat For It Much of the Earth Would Be Little Better Than a Desert. If all the condensed moisture of the aimosplere were to fall as rain and none of it as snow, hundreds of thouscods of square miles of the earth’s surface now yielding hountiful crops would be little better than a desert. Tie tremendous economic gam for the world at large which results from the diference between snow and rain is ee!dom realized by the inhabitants of fe:tile and well watered lowlands. It is in the extensive regions where Irrication is a prime necessity in agriculture that the special uses of the snow come chiefly into view. All through the winter the snow is falling upop the hizh mountains and packing itself firmly into the ravines. Thus in nature’s great icehouse a supply of moisture is stored up for the following summcr. All through the warm months the ha:dened snowbanks are melting gradua‘ly. In trickling streams they steadfly feed the rivers, which as they flow through the valleys are utilized for irrigation. If this motsture fell as rain, it would almost immediately wash down through the rivers, which would hardly. be fcd at all.in.the.ummer, when the crops most needed water. These facts are so well known as to be commonplace in the Salt Lake valley and in the subarid regions of the west generally. They are not so well understood in New Jersey or Ohio, where snow is sometimes a_ picturesque, sometimes a disagreeable, feature of winter. In all parts of the country the notion prevails that the snow is of great value usa fertilizer. Seientists, however, are inclined to attach less importance to its service in soil nutrition—for some regions which have no snow are exceedingly fertile than to its worth as a blanket during the months of high winds. It prevents the blowing off of the finely pulverized richness of the top soil. This, although little perceived, would often be a very great loss.

The King iPresided. Lonpon, February 14th.— The first Parliament session under the reign of King Edward Seventh was opened by him personally this morning. The procession started from Buckingham Palace speedily traversing the distance to Westminster Palace, where the State officers gathered. Before the reading of his speech the King took the oath. The assemblage stood while the speech was being read. 7 Army Jokes With a Moral. “During the civil war,” said an exarmy officer, “the authorities for some reason were anxious to move troops up the Tombigbee river. Word was sent to the engineer in that district asking what it ‘would cost to run up’ the Tombigbee. That official got gay and re ported that the Tombigbee ran down and not up, a joke that promptly land-ed his head in the basket, as the matter was serious. “At the bombardment of Charleston it was extremely desirable to bring to bear on the city an extra heavy gun called by the men the Swamp Angel. The gun took its name from the swamp in which it stood, and to move it through that boggy morass was an engineering feat of extreme difficulty. However, the commanding officers were determined to have the gun brought within range of Charleston and issued orders to that effect. At the same time they sent word to the engineer having the matter in charge of requisition without regard to trouble or expense for anything necessary to accomplish the desired object. His first requisition called for men 26 feet 6 inches in height, Another officer promptly took the matter in charge, from which it can readily be deduced that it is not a paying investment to make jokes in the army at the expense of your superiors.” ‘—New York Tribune. A Contrast Im Cooks. In an article contributed to a London paper John. Strange Winter, who hag been living for many months past in Dieppe, compares the French to the English cook, rather to the detriment of the latter. “In the French kitchen,” she says, “there is no waste. It would seem that the French: mind does: not run to waste or revel in it as the lower class English mind invariably does.” The French cook will not only do a bit of the housework, but she will do it cheerfully and as a matter of course. “You cannot buy your French cook too many pans, and her soul loves copper io her kitchen. Certainly an English cook would grumble if she was expected to keep a kitchen full of copper pans bright and clean, but a French one has them in a condition akin to burnished gold. Her pride is gratified if her kitchen walls are hung with these ornaments, and even if she does the greater part of ber small cooking in little enameled pans she will dally rub up the copper ones which hang on the wall.” She Guessed It. He was descanting with vigor on the exceptional quality of the dinners that are served at one of the fashionable clubs of Brooklyn at a very low figure for a first class meal on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Equally toothsome luncheons could be had on otber days of the week, but dinners in course only on those days. queried the New Yorker, to whom the delights of life in Brooklyn were being rehearsed. “Wash day, iréning.day and the girl’s day out,” quickly;responded one of the ladies of the party. ‘“That’s no sort of a conundrum to a woman who haseever had the care of a house. Better try a harder one next time uniess you happen to be in a stag party.”—New York Times. 5 “All Fish.” Mrs. Thurlow says that Cardinal Wiseman went to dine with some friends of hers. It was Friday, but they bad quite forgotten to provide a fast day dinner. However, he was quite equal to the occasion, for he stretched out his bands in benediction over the table, and said, “] pronounce all this to be fish,” and forthwith enjoyed all the good things heartily.— “The Story of My Life,” by Augustus J. ©.

Wionita, Kansas, February 18.—A special says a crowd of men, women and boys smashed Henry Schmidt’s joint at Winfield, Kansas, this morning. The boys were mostly students from the Methodist Oollege at Winfleld. The saloon was completely wrecked. Oharles Schmidt, a brother of the proprietor, wai cut on the head with a hatchet and severely injured. It is said one of the women was seriously hurt by flying glass. Last evening Ernest Hahn, a temperance advocate, was attacked by a joint keeper, and this stirred up the prohibition element. Kansas Orty, Mo. February 18.—A special to the Star from Winfield, Kansas, says: In this morning’s saloon raid several shots were fired on both sides. Miss Emma Denny was hit in the mouth by a bullet or a piece of glass, it is not known positively which. Charles and Henry Schmidt were in the joint at the time of the raid and made a show of resistance. Charles drew a revolver and was cut in the face with a hatchet, wielded, he says, by Rev. Frank Lowther. The wildest excitement followed the raid, and several street fights have taken place. The situation is serious and Mayor Albright has ealled a meeting of the Council to consider means for preventing farther trouble. Six Japanese, Prisoners Escape, San Franorsco, Feb. i18.—Six Japanese men who,were denied a landing by Immigration Commissioner Hart H. North and were ordered deported by him because they were paupers, esGaped from the detention shed of the Pacific Mail doek during the night, and by this time they are believed tu be in the interior looking for farm work. The Japanese came here as stowaways on the steamer Nippon Maru. The steamship company is responsible for keeping them in cas-— tody, and the fine, if negligence is shown, is $500 for each escape. Bullet and Poison, Porttanp, February 18 —Jack Barr shot and wounded Belle Winters in a bath house this morning. Barr fired a bullet into his own head and then swallowed poison. ‘Neither is dead yet.

The photographs are by H. K. Gage, and while they are excellent likenessness, the sight is so horrible that few people would care to take a second look A five-room house owned by Joe Marzen Jr., and occupied by Mrs. Tim Harrigan, was burned to the ground Tuesday night. The woman left her husband, who is a hard working man, several months ago, and has since been living a questionable life. On the night of the fire the “growler” had been rushed frequently, and it is thought that in stumbling around the room, the woman knocked over the lamp. The loss wae $200 and no insurance. Henry Brown (colored) has returned to Truckee. He will be remembered as the man who was nearly decapitated by Switchman James Reynolds several weeks ago, and was sent to the County Hospital, where he remained about a month. He has been accused of “drunk rolling,” short-arm-work and other offenses of a like nature. In fact, he was about as undesirable a character as a town could hope to have. He now says there will be no more ‘wrongdoing on hia part. Last Sunday afternoon William Richards, known here as “Billy Scanlan” or “Chi Red,” was seen to fall across the track near the round house, but it was thought that he was simply drunk and that he would soon get up. This happened at 4 o’clock, and five hours later one of the switchmen found bim still lying there. ‘The weather was extremely cold and the unfortunate man was almost frozen to death. He was unconscious when taken to the city prison,.and Dr. Shoemaker and two assistants worked on him several h ours thawing out his hands and feet, He was taken to the county hospital, and his right hand and several of his toes will probably have to be emputated. “Red”. has residéd here for about four years, having come from Virginia City where he has respectable parents.

If all the condensed moisture of the aimosplere were to fall as rain and none of it as snow, hundreds of thouscods of square miles of the earth’s surface now yielding hountiful crops would be little better than a desert. Tie tremendous economic gam for the world at large which results from the diference between snow and rain is ee!dom realized by the inhabitants of fe:tile and well watered lowlands. It is in the extensive regions where Irrication is a prime necessity in agriculture that the special uses of the snow come chiefly into view. All through the winter the snow is falling upop the hizh mountains and packing itself firmly into the ravines. Thus in nature’s great icehouse a supply of moisture is stored up for the following summcr. All through the warm months the ha:dened snowbanks are melting gradua‘ly. In trickling streams they steadfly feed the rivers, which as they flow through the valleys are utilized for irrigation. If this motsture fell as rain, it would almost immediately wash down through the rivers, which would hardly. be fcd at all.in.the..ummer, when the crops most needed water. These facts are so well known as to be commonplace in the Salt Lake valley and in the subarid regions of the west generally. They are not so well understood in New Jersey or Ohio, where snow is sometimes a_ picturesque, sometimes a disagreeable, feature of winter. In all parts of the country the notion prevails that the snow is of great value usa fertilizer. Seientists, however, are inclined to attach less importance to its service in soil nutrition—for some regions which have no snow are exceedingly fertile than to its worth as a blanket during the months of high winds. It prevents the blowing off of the finely pulverized richness of the top soil. This, although little perceived, would often be a very great loss.

The King iPresided. Lonpon, February 14th.— The first Parliament session under the reign of King Edward Seventh was opened by him personally this morning. The procession started from Buckingham Palace speedily traversing the distance to Westminster Palace, where the State officers gathered. Before the reading of his speech the King took the oath. The assemblage stood while the speech was being read. 7 Army Jokes With a Moral. “During the civil war,” said an exarmy officer, “the authorities for some reason were anxious to move troops up the Tombigbee river. Word was sent to the engineer in that district asking what it ‘would cost to run up’ the Tombigbee. That official got gay and re ported that the Tombigbee ran down and not up, a joke that promptly land-ed his head in the basket, as the matter was serious. “At the bombardment of Charleston it was extremely desirable to bring to bear on the city an extra heavy gun called by the men the Swamp Angel. The gun took its name from the swamp in which it stood, and to move it through that boggy morass was an engineering feat of extreme difficulty. However, the commanding officers were determined to have the gun brought within range of Charleston and issued orders to that effect. At the same time they sent word to the engineer having the matter in charge of requisition without regard to trouble or expense for anything necessary to accomplish the desired object. His first requisition called for men 26 feet 6 inches in height, Another officer promptly took the matter in charge, from which it can readily be deduced that it is not a paying investment to make jokes in the army at the expense of your superiors.” ‘—New York Tribune. A Contrast Im Cooks. In an article contributed to a London paper John. Strange Winter, who hag been living for many months past in Dieppe, compares the French to the English cook, rather to the detriment of the latter. “In the French kitchen,” she says, “there is no waste. It would seem that the French: mind does: not run to waste or revel in it as the lower class English mind invariably does.” The French cook will not only do a bit of the housework, but she will do it cheerfully and as a matter of course. “You cannot buy your French cook too many pans, and her soul loves copper io her kitchen. Certainly an English cook would grumble if she was expected to keep a kitchen full of copper pans bright and clean, but a French one has them in a condition akin to burnished gold. Her pride is gratified if her kitchen walls are hung with these ornaments, and even if she does the greater part of ber small cooking in little enameled pans she will dally rub up the copper ones which hang on the wall.” She Guessed It. He was descanting with vigor on the exceptional quality of the dinners that are served at one of the fashionable clubs of Brooklyn at a very low figure for a first class meal on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Equally toothsome luncheons could be had on otber days of the week, but dinners in course only on those days. queried the New Yorker, to whom the delights of life in Brooklyn were being rehearsed. “Wash day, iréning.day and the girl’s day out,” quickly;responded one of the ladies of the party. ‘“That’s no sort of a conundrum to a woman who haseever had the care of a house. Better try a harder one next time uniess you happen to be in a stag party.”—New York Times. 5 “All Fish.” Mrs. Thurlow says that Cardinal Wiseman went to dine with some friends of hers. It was Friday, but they bad quite forgotten to provide a fast day dinner. However, he was quite equal to the occasion, for he stretched out his bands in benediction over the table, and said, “] pronounce all this to be fish,” and forthwith enjoyed all the good things heartily.— “The Story of My Life,” by Augustus J. ©.

Last evening Ernest Hahn, a temperance advocate, was attacked by a joint keeper, and this stirred up the prohibition element. Kansas Orty, Mo. February 18.—A special to the Star from Winfield, Kansas, says: In this morning’s saloon raid several shots were fired on both sides. Miss Emma Denny was hit in the mouth by a bullet or a piece of glass, it is not known positively which. Charles and Henry Schmidt were in the joint at the time of the raid and made a show of resistance. Charles drew a revolver and was cut in the face with a hatchet, wielded, he says, by Rev. Frank Lowther. The wildest excitement followed the raid, and several street fights have taken place. The situation is serious and Mayor Albright has ealled a meeting of the Council to consider means for preventing farther trouble. Six Japanese, Prisoners Escape, San Franorsco, Feb. i18.—Six Japanese men who,were denied a landing by Immigration Commissioner Hart H. North and were ordered deported by him because they were paupers, esGaped from the detention shed of the Pacific Mail doek during the night, and by this time they are believed tu be in the interior looking for farm work.

Gage, and while they are excellent likenessness, the sight is so horrible that few people would care to take a second look A five-room house owned by Joe Marzen Jr., and occupied by Mrs. Tim Harrigan, was burned to the ground Tuesday night. The woman left her husband, who is a hard working man, several months ago, and has since been living a questionable life. On the night of the fire the “growler” had been rushed frequently, and it is thought that in stumbling around the room, the woman knocked over the lamp. The loss wae $200 and no insurance. Henry Brown (colored) has returned to Truckee. He will be remembered as the man who was nearly decapitated by Switchman James Reynolds several weeks ago, and was sent to the County Hospital, where he remained about a month. He has been accused of “drunk rolling,” short-arm-work and other offenses of a like nature. In fact, he was about as undesirable a character as a town could hope to have. He now says there will be no more ‘wrongdoing on hia part. Last Sunday afternoon William Richards, known here as “Billy Scanlan” or “Chi Red,” was seen to fall across the track near the round house, but it was thought that he was simply drunk and that he would soon get up. This happened at 4 o’clock, and five hours later one of the switchmen found bim still lying there. ‘The weather was extremely cold and the unfortunate man was almost frozen to death. He was unconscious when taken to the city prison,.and Dr. Shoemaker and two assistants worked on him several h ours thawing out his hands and feet, He was taken to the county hospital, and his right hand and several of his toes will probably have to be emputated. “Red”. has residéd here for about four years, having come from Virginia City where he has respectable parents.
