CoHBEsrosDEKTS. When one writes
for a newspap.r there should be bo
space devoted to a nice introduction.
A sensible editor will always run his
pencil across such lines. Neither
should one start off on a subject as
though laying out a Dutch flower gar
den or by giving motives ror writing.
The keynote should bo attack if pos
sible in the very first sentence. A
dull beginning often damns an article;
a spicy one whets the appetite ana
commends what follows to both editor
and reader. Above all stop when
you are done. Don't let the ghost of
your thought wander about after tbe
death of the body. Don't waste a mo-
-tneol's time la vindicating your pro
duction axaintt editors o: critics but
expend your energies in writing some-
thing which "will be its own vindica-
tion. BnoRT-Ht ens. AUeoiioo is called
to the advertisement of Col. A. W.
Moore of Bastrop. This noted short
horn breeder has by a late puichase.
increased his herd and pasture until he
can trathfully enough boast ot having
the finest farm and herd in Texas. Be
longing to his herd are ISO mother
cows. not one of whhh is leu than
fifteen-sixteenths pure blood. More
than one-third of these cows are
thoroughbreds selected with care in
Kentucky and other points where the
bett stock iJ reared. Col. Miore of-
fers thoroughbred and grade bulls and
grade cows for sale. - lie has a num-
ber of very fine cows with young
calves that promise to make excellent
milkers. His prices are reasonable
and he will take pleasure in hnsweriog
correspondence and in filling orders
that he intend shall give satisfaction.
Da McConiit. the Wixird Oilman
with bis talented company gave a
sacred concert at tbe Lunatic Asylum
Sunday afternoon which was an en-
iiyable entertainment to all who heard
'he patients wero greatly pleased by
tbe kind efforts of tbe company to en-
tertain and amuse them and wi:h
happy hearts and smiling faces aad in
best bib and tucker they assembled in
the chspel and gave respectful enrap-
tured attention. Fna of them were
critics of so mean i Jfeoiions and tbe
axcellentjtfrformsLcea may have ad-
CTTTT to their clouded miads some
rays cf heaven's harmonious light and
lifted from tbeir troubled thoughts
some part of the soul-depressing
weight. Their sympathies kept even
pice with the sentiment of every song
and at the bidding of the silver-tongued
minstrels came ripp'.iag smiles devout
and reverent mein and thickly flowing
heart -sett tears. SjTvral visitors were
present who speak of the concert as
eminently praiseworthy and say it was
no less beautiful than laudable.

The entertainment given by the pu
pilsof the Blind Asylum Wednesday
night complimentary to the Grand
Lodge Knights and Ltdies of Honor
was a very creditable and enjoyable
anair. and will long be remembered
by tbe vast audience that assembled
the largest ever known at this institu
lion. The programme was varied con
sisting of an overture by tbe "Blind
String Band" dialogues speeches es-
says and vocal and instrumental music
etc. the rendition of all which tould
not be turpt-ssed by even these who
could see. The applause by the audi
ence especially after tbe dialogue
"Thiity Minutes for Refreshments"
and the recitation of " The Crusader's
Return" proved well how highly the
entertainment waa appreciated. Tbe
young ladies of the institution closed
the programme by dancing the lan
cars and all admit tbat tbey are
par excellence. After this the
Knights were shown through the
Institution which was well lit up
by the superintendent Dr. Ra mx
who always welcomes visitors and
shows them unusual atteution and on
this occasion he tried to oyer do him-
self. During tbe Doctor's absence
the young folks cleared tbe hall uf tbe
benches and chairr and were soon
keeping step to the sweet strains of
music mide by the "B ind 8tring
band." At 13 o'clock midnight tbe
hacks and busses arrived and the
Knights left expressing themselves
well and highly pleased with the
evening's entertainment and the cour
tesies extended. If "laughing makes
one grow fat" the Knights will be so
fat when they arrive at their homes
their wivea and sweetbeaiti will not
know tbem. Superintendent Rainey
can well be proud of the pupils of the
Institute.

Editors Democratic Statesman:
Dear Sir : I herewith enolose an
article to help fill a small space in
your paper:
A few months ago and dnring tbe
present drouth on what is known as
Flint Kill about 8 miles south of
Thoa. and C. E. Anderson's farm in
the upper er.d of Travis county a spring
burst forth from tbe aide of tbe moun-
tain and is now furnishing the inhab-
itants in the vicinity with water who
previously had to haul it from the
river a distance of three miles.
This is near the voting place where
there were forty-six Totes polled in the
local option election and not a single
one cast for the law. God thus re
wards these citixens for their inde
pendence and morality.

that the phenomenon of thunder i not
fully accounted for by any theory a
yet brought forward. Wnether this be
so or not I am not sufficiently acquaint
ed with the subject to sav. I believe
tbe commonly accepte i theory '.a tbat a
vacuum is created in the ptto of tbe
electric spark and the mhs. quent in
ru-ih of the air pioduces the detonti
tion. If however is bo allowed that
tbe electric epatk is not a materiel eub-
stauce but merely a natural force or
mode of motion the possibility 'of this
theory is at once disposed of. It is
well-known fact that tbe passage of
electricity in a high state of tension
through a mixture of t xygen and hy
drogen not only causes an explosion
but alto causes the formation of water.
ami it stems to tnu : btt. p.iyen tbe ex
ietatce of free oxygen and hydr-'gen in
the region of theeuctric disturbance.
the phenomenon of thunder is sufli
cientiy acc-unied for. rthttner the
normal amount of hydrogen iu tbe air
is suthciett to cause tbe s'u.iendous
noise -A thunaer I am not competent
10 judge; but if not I would suggest
thai the presence of an abnormal amount
m &ht be accounted for by tbe process
ot tne electrolysis which would pcob

A correspondent wrilioe from San

tbst all California needs now or tbe
most that she seems to lack is a health-
ier humanity. She is only thirty-two
years old and has a popu.ation of near-
ly a million eon!? a territory as large
as F acce w:th valleys for cereals
stretching like oceans oa and on until
tbe vision struggles with immensity.
Her growth has been feverish ss well aa
fast. The era upon her is not golden.
Tbat came and went. It ia not intel-
lectual. Californians rank well in in-
tellect bnt sot' pre-eminently. It ia
not an era of morality though Sin
Francisco is probably as pure a city as
Sc Louis Chicago or New Toik.
Oakland ranks in morals with Harford
and R bester and Providence. It is
not there a time ot religious conscions-
oeis. Tbe churches are doing credit-
ab.e wotk in many directions but few
if any ot their sb'.e are fiery champions
tor uod and humanity as a Welch of
Albany or a Kirk of Boston. It is not
a philanthropic era there. There are
not a few earnest temperance workers
bnt not of prominence like Minor or
Eddy of Massachusetts; no John B.
Gaugba no Mary Livermorea. It is too
early to expect tbem. In tbe depart-
ment of bumaniny here Nipbe is too
often dumb or disposed to truckle.

While engaged last May in watching

bright spot in the centre of tbe planet
ft it crossed tbe sun's ditk. It is re-
potted that seeu through their power
ful retracting telescope it appeared as
a mere vivid point of light central in
tbe planet like a bole pierced ia tbe
middle of a round black cardboard. It
was permanent from tbe time tbe plan
et's centre touched tie one licnb of
the sun until it reached the other limb
a period ot seven hours. Ii the ob-
servation was reliable" stys a commi n-
tator ' it proves tbat tbe planet has a
hollow axis. There are bypothesitti
like John tJIeves ajmmes who have
long held tbat tbe axis of our globe as
well as tbe axis of tbe other planet
spneres 01 onr solar system is similarly
noiiow wita a clear tubular passage
from the North to the South pole." If
such is the fact it is thought should
any of the balloooists of Cbyne's expe
dition reach tbe Pole they will be rather
warmly received tbe theory being that
11 tne eattn is a boilow cylinder each
