structures torn down and neat and SUBJ
stantial buildings take their places. This

more are to follow soon. A new store has

ROMANCE OF THE BRITISH pEERAeE.

Another romance of the British peerage
is looming up in the British press. The
Rev. VIM. Henry Ricketts, Jervis, Vicar OF
st. Paups Church, Colchester, it is said is
about to claim the estates and the title of
Vissount ST. Vincent, now held by his
kinsman, John Edward Leveson Jervis a
nephew of the lady over whose married
life with the half.mad son of the Begun
of Sombre Sirdhaneh such a scandal arose
some thirty years ago, and who is now
Lady Forester. The title of Viscount st.
Vincent was created in 1901 for the famous
Admiral Sir John Jervis after his brilliant
victory over the Spanish fleet off Cape st.
Vincent. He had previously been made an
Earl, but as he had no issue the Viscount
was created by patent under which it
should pass to the heir of his sister, Mrs.
William Henry Ricketts,. Mrs. Ricketts,,
who was married in 1856, had two sons.
Both of these assumed the surname of
Jervis in 1901, when their uncle was made a
Viscount. The elder son, William Henry
Ricketts, Jervis, a Captain in the Royal
Navy, married early in life Lady Elizabeth
Lapbart, daughter OF the Earl of Cavan,
by whom he had two daughters. From
this lady he was divorced in 1859. Not
long after this divorce he eloped and mar
ried lady of good family. On the Doth
of January, 1905, he was drowned by the
upsetting of his barge, and after his death
his brother, Edward Ricketts, Jervis, con-
tested the fact of his second marriage.
The register having been lost the marriage
could not be proved; the issue of it were
set aside as illegitimate, and on the death
of the first Lord st. Viscent in 1923, Ed
ward Ricketts, Jervis. then in his 56th year,
succeeded as second Viscount st. Vincent.
The son of Captain Ricketts, Jervis, having
since died, his grandson, the present Vicar
of st. Pauls, Colchester, it is said, has at
last found the longlost marriage register
of his grandmother, and will at once pro.
ceed to claim as his lawful inheritance the
Viscount of St. Vincent and estates of the
value of some f7, 900 year. The actual
holder OF the title and the property is a
young man of 81, who served with dis
tinction in the Eighth Hussars during the
Zulu war. The case, it will be seen,
would make an excellent plot for romance
or a play.

Corn as a Crop.

In the Mississippi country corn is fully at
home and makes one of the most profitable
crops of the farmer, especially when fed to
hogs or other stock to fatten them. In this
State corn does not do as well as in the coun-
try referred to, because of the cool nights
Our climate, except in certain localities, is
too dry for corn. Los Angeles county is
probably the banner county in the State for
corn. Corn has been made profitable crop
in the counties of Yuba and Sacramento, and
on the San Joaquin and Yuba rivers, on the
light loamy soils. Corn does well in some of
the higher counties of the San Joaquin river
It is noticeable, however, that the change in
climate that has been going on, induced by
cultivation and other causes, introducing
more moisture and causing less change be-
tween the temperature of day and night, are
decidedly favorable to corn. We are not GER
tain that corn may not yet be profitably cul-
tivated alternately with wheat in such
manner as to give the soil rest from
wheat on alternate years, keep the soil
cleaner from weeds than it is kept by sum-
mer following, and at the same time bring a
return every year. We think it worth while
that farmers should make a fair trial by
planting a part of their wheat fields with
corn at the same time they summer-fallow
the other part. Compare the cost of neces-
sary cultivation of the corn with the cost of
summer -fallowing the same amount of land,
and make up balancesheet by adding the
gross receipts from corn and wheat produced
on the one part, and deducting the expense
of the two crops for the two years, thus
showing the net profits of that part of the
land for the two years; then deductiug from
the gross receipts of the one wheat crop the
expense of its cultivation by summer
following, and putting in the crop,
the expense of harvesting in
each case this would give clear view of
the financial operation. Then the next
thing to be done would be to determine which
piece OF land was left in the best condition
the one that has produced two crops
only one. We believe that in many of our
districts two crops can thus
be made, with considerable addition of
profits, and that the land will suffer less de-
terioration. With such system it may be
made profitable to keep large proportion of
stock on the farms of our wheat-growers to
good advantage, and thus one innovation
may follow another until the problem of
getting rid of the one crop system may be
gradually and proftably solved. The world
moves in agriculture, as in all other things,
and if California does not move with it in
his respect, we shall soon find ourselves in
,he rear instead of the advance in matters
to our largest material interests.

Baby's Bow Legs.

These need not cause anxiety in all
cases. If the child is healthy, and has
good, nourishing food and pure air-the
two great essentials for making good blood
it will probably outgrow its bow legs
naturally enough as its strength increases.
Rubbing the legs with your hands in the
morning may help to strengthen and to
straighten them, holding them straight as
you rub them. If the case is pretty bad,
the two legs may be bound together with
comfortable bandages during sleep, rubbing
them well before and after binding Them
If the child is quite young, it may be kept
from standing on its feet for few months,
giving nature time to straighten the
crookedness while the limbs are growing
stronger A carriage and a high chair
are helps toward carrying out the plan. ALI
the things that have been mentioned as
curative agencies may be used as prevent
ives. A healthy child, with wholesome
food and pure air to breathe, if kept from
standing and walking while too young and
weak, will not have bow legs. Scrofulous
children are more likely to suffer in this
way, and those that are very feshy.
Don't take pride in your fat baby. Ex-
cessive fat is really disease, instead of a
sign of health. ,Fatten your pigs as much
as you fancy, but do not deliberately fatten
your children. Give them plenty of good,
growing food, and they will be plump
enough for symmetry, and not too heavy
for comfortable activity. 1t is no wonder
that the little legs bend under the heavy
weight of some fat little toddlers. Such
children should not be encouraged to stand
or walk until they have grown strong
enough to do SO of their own accord, and
then should not be allowed to walk too
much. -[Sanitarian.

sharp, transitory pains, more or less se-
we're, which is popularity spoken of as neu-
ralgia Strictly speaking, the word is cor
rectly applied, since all pain is neuralgia

How to build house. Talk about
it, especially with men of consequence;
they are deeply interested in your plans.
Consult your architect before you have
a site. When the contracts are all sign

slight notifications. When anything
fails to please you, never doubt that
architects and builders are spiteful peo-
pie. Always act upon the advice OF
strangers. Visit the house twice day
until it is complete. Find something to
criticise every time. If that is impossi-
