the boy took a fancy to him, and
wanted "pa" to buy him. Just
then the owner of the dog came
home from his labOrs and was
met by the dog with every de-
monstration fjoy. The gentle-
man said to the owner, "My little
boy has taken a fancy to your dog,
and / will buy him. What do
you ask for him?" Cant. sell

"Look here" said the gentleman,

Tie number Of sheep, and pro
duct OF wool in California are
steadily on the Increase, and We
bid fair to produce soon more
vol than ali the. other Statvo
combined. The introduction of
alfalfa as a forage plant for sheep
and other stock have given the
wool product a decided stimulus.
The receipts of California wool at
San Francisco for the last four
years have been as follows: 1870,
1912 ,666 pounds; 1871, q, ,l87, 1873
pounds; 1872 q, ,9l9,488 pounds;
1873, 27,06O, $50 pounds. The total
product of 1873, was over 32,O0O,-
600 pounds, of which about 3, l5O,-
900 pounnS will be consumed by
our local factories and the balance
exported. The export value in

A Pennsylvania Woman.

A correspondent of a Cincinnati

story of the exploits of a widow
of his acquaintance. 1t runs thus:

east of US are the Chestnut Ridge
'mountains, as rough and rocky
as mountains generally are. Well,
upon the top of the mountains

of'life, who is now wealthy and
owns the best mountain farm in

quite young. she married " ,'n,''.'' =

tea.n, and nothing more. The
sand vas uncleared, exceeding
rocky and fulf nf raviaes. Ia 8
few months after being married
the husband djed, leaving his wife
nothing but this land, cabin and
team. Thrown upon her own re-
sources, the willow went to work
telling timber, making cross-ties
