A California Rain.

The popularity of California rain
storm is that it makes no fuss about
it but attends strictly to business and ac-
complishes more in given time than
would appear possible from any amount
of observation. One feels sense of
dreariness, and looking from the window
sees that it is raining; the quietest rain
in the world, the drops being very small
and falling with no appreciable weight.
But step out intoit and it is almost like
stepping into the bay, the wetting is so
rapid and so thorough. 1t very rarely
happens that any wind accompanies
rain-storm in that locality, and thunder
and lightning are almost unknown. The
average length of rain-storm is about
forty-eight hours, the water coming down
steadily and resolutely, while from the
hillsides an unbroken sheet an inch or
more in depth rushes rapidly to the res
ervoirs below, until every stream be-
comes river. every valley lake. Some
times it continues to rain-though not
in this unbroken way-for weeks. But
this is rare case. As rule, after
about two days and nights of solid del
uge, it clears off, the farmers go to work,
and the weather is too beautiful to be
described at all. Such blue depths of
sky. such acers of brilliant wild flowers,
and the woods ablaze with color, all form
picture which, if an artist should rep
resent truthfully, would be at once pro-
nounced gaudy, unnatural and out of
taste. This style of storm with the in
tervening sunshine) about once month
for five or six months makes an average
California winter.-People's Weekly.

A Horrible Suicide,

A young girl who committed suicide
October at Notre Dame de Paris was
probably impelled to do so by a love dis
appointment. At nine in the morning
she was observed impatiently walking
round the aisles. watching the doors as
if expecting somebody who had ap-
pointed to meet her. She occasionally
went into the close, and often wistfully
looked round. At eleven o'clock the
verger saw her still in the church, and
noticed her getting into conversation
with an old woman. Independently of
her refined beauty there was something
in her manner that excited his curiosity,
and he called the attention of the En-
glish cicerone to her. She asked the
old woman to accept a dejeaener from
her in restaurant hard by. They both
lunched together, and at two o. clock re-
turned to see Paris from the tower.
When they assembled there was heavy
Both went to take shelter
in the watchman's sentry-box. When
they were there the young girl suddenly
ran out, and, after climbing ON the
parapet, flung herself forward She
fell on the railing, the spikes of which
have the form of chisels. They cut the
body in two. near the waist. The lower
part fell backward on the flags of the
porch, and the upper part stuck on the
rails. A policeman ran to the morgue
to fetch the dead cart. The head, on
which round hat remained, and the
chest, were not disfigured, but quite
blanched. The old woman said she
talked at breakfast about saints who de-
voted themselves to charity. and did not
appear demented, or even excited. She
calculated the price of the dejenner she
wished to have before she ordered it,
and helped the old woman largely, but
did not eat heartily herself. There were
sixty francs in her pocket, but no pa
pers of any kind. Her dress was plain.
neat and ladylike, but her laced shoes
were bad. and her stockings much
darned. The letters I'M. FL were on
her linen. Her hair was of extraordi-
nary length, and arranged in two thick
braids rolled round her head. Her
accent was slightly foreign, and the
stitch in the darning not French

Disposition OF a Supposititious Estate.

The Cambridge (Md.) Chronicle gives
an interesting history of the late Gen.
George Winthrop. of Johnson's Cross
Roads, near Seaford, Del, who left will
disposing of $4,000 but no assets that
could be found. A letter from Mr. John
n. Wright, the administrator under the
will, corrects report of the disappear
ance of the servant who nurSed Mr..
Winthrop in his last illness. and says he
is still at Cambridge, and has not been
at any time .'hard to find" 1t
seems that some years ago Mr.. Winthrop
began to talk about fund of some
$4,000 or $50, 900 coming to him from
his ancestors in Massachusetts; and had
been due him for some thirty or forty
years. According to his account, his
relatives, the Hon. Robert Winthrop,
Of that State, among them, both behaved
very handsomely about it. Upon tEH
long-lost sleeps turning up in the flock,
they waved limitations and litigation.
and were ready to pay him his own,
principal and interest. and he, not to be
outdone, refused to accept dime of in
tereSt, and so the matter was fin1lly ar
ranged on the last basis, he receiving his
principal, some $4,000. This sum he
invested in bonds. which he was fond of
talking about, and almost annually would
90 off to attend the annual reunion of
the family at Cousin Robert 81 the Hon.
Robert Winthrop, and would give
minute accounts of their pleasure and
splendor. Being known to have been
worth some $4,000 or more here from
the sale of his store in Cambridge, etc.,
he was thought to own some $4,000, or
Whereabouts. He made will some years
back, bequeathing various legacies, and
then made three residuary legacies, and
at his death it was thought these last
would receive from $4,000 to $4,000
each. 1t transpired at his death that he
had not 5000 in the world that could be
found, and hence the comment. Re-
Gently a prominent citizen wrote the Hon.
Robert Winthrop on the subject, when
10! that gentleman never knew our Gen.
George Winthrop, and never heard of
any such pecuniary transaction! The
solution is easy. Either as monoma-
MAC, or to increase his consequence, Mr..
Winthrop invented the whole story, and
knowing that he only owned some 81, 800
or $4,000 at the date of his will. devised
that just as he wished it, and had he re-
tanned his means each of his legatees
would have received just the same, re-
siduary and all; but these last being the
least favored, and calculating upon a
diminution, he gave the specific legacies
first and left the residue, whatever it
nigh be, to the others. 1t turned out
that he was unfortunate in business, and
had to live, and his all did just last his
life out. And this is the whole matter"

A Donkey in a Railroad Car.

They tried to load donkey on Hudson
River Railroad train at the Grand Central
depot, but the nine men engaged in the
undertaking now fully realize that they
made mistake. The donkey was "a
member of a theatrical company, which
started out to battle with starvation for
thirty weeks. The other members Of the
company were quartered in first class
railway coach, but the donkey was az
signed quarters in baggage car. As
he was noted for using his heels rather
more industriously than compatible with
the rights of freemen in q great country
like America the manager had caused to
be constructed crate in which he was
to travel. When the donkey appeared
with his attendant the baggage-master
suggested that the crate be first placed
in the baggage car and the donkey next.
In the car the ceremony of Grating the
donkey was.to take place in quiet way.
The donkey was taken in and invited to
enter the crate. He objected. Placing
his ears at an angle offorty-iive degrees in
advance of his eyes he braced himself for
further Developments. They soon came.
Three baggage smaShers, who had had q
summer campaign tossing trunks and
expressing diabolical delight in seeing
them break up under their manipula-
tions, undertook to push the donkey into
the crate, but he didn't 90. His heels
flew up and the baggage smashers flew
down. The donkey stood still, looking
as Innocent as a young squad. The
three men approached in rage. and
down they sat again. Four brother
baggage smasherS came to their assist
ance. They took him by the head.
while this left plenty of room for his
heels. Up came the other three, rein
forced by two more men. In atwink-
ling the nine men were on the floor and
the donkeywas out in the baggage room
among the trunks. The nine men fol-
lowed. One flung himself upon the
animal neck and another on his back;
one got hold of each leg, and the next
instant the donkey was out in Wander
bilt Avenue looking into a vacant lot.
He was captured by the manager of the
company and held while the railroad
men brought the crate into the street.
The manager then coaxed his donkey
ship into the crate, fastened the gate
and invited the nine men to carry him
into the baggage car, which they did,
muttering oaths at every step. This
was piece of baggage they could not
smash, and something they could not
trife with.-N. y. Mail.

The Lick Observatory.

Concerning the Lick observatory the
San Jose Cali Times says: The OBJ
servatorv is situated on the lowest of the
peaks of the mountain. at an elevation
of 1926 feet above the sea. We found
here ample testimony that the S1l4, 900
which Captain Frazer has paid out this
year has been wisely expended. Almost
one-half of the observatory proper is now
being rooted. When completed it will
be 2l0 feet long, with a width in the
center of 60 feet, and is 40 at each side
At one end of this structure stands
dome 80 feet in diameter at the base and
46 feet high, in which is mounted fine
twelve-inch refracting telescope. This
instrument is twice the size of any other
glass in the State, and is capable of a
power of 200 diameters. 1t can cause
the moon, which is almost 100000 miles
away, to appear as though it were but
200 miles distant The remainder ofthe
finished section of the building will be
devoted to clock room, large work
shop, dormitory and waiting room,
and a reception room for visitors. The
excavation for the great dome. is 80 feet
diameter. The dome will be built on
the solid rock aiA will be occupied by
the famous thirty-six inch refractor
This glass is the largest in the world,
the next in order being the Vienna o.
tractor, twenty-seven inches, the tele-
scope at the Naval observatory at Wash
ington, twenty-siX inches, the Newhall
at Newcastle, England,
twenty-five inches, and the recently
erected refractor at the Halsted observa-
tory, Princeton, twenty-three inches.
The focal length necessary for the Lick
Slescope can not be determined until
object glass is tested. Hence it is now
to build the dome for its re-
eeption, forts length may be anywhere
from forty to sixty feet. Two small
structures adjoining the main building
are already supplied with apparatus in
to the astronomer.

Unnatural Happiness.

"There is one of the happiest men in
the world at the present moment"
City Physician Jackson said as he en-
tered, with the reporter, the pavilion for
the insane of Bellevue Hospital, and
was most heartily greeted by a new in
mate of the place. The patient was
fine-loOking man, inclined to stouthess,
with gray hair and beard, and a glow
in his pleasant face. He was fifty-six
years of age, and the only peculiarly
about his appearance was that he stag
gered slightly whenever he arose from
his seat. He had been arrested for
pulling valuable flowers from a clergy
mans garden to make nOsegays for his
wife. and he repeated the otlense until
he was sent to the City Physician to
have his mental condition examined.
1.-The happiest man conceivable" the
physician repeated, land yet hopelessly
insane"
He imagined that he possessed great
wealth, and that he could not do any,
thing better than spend it in making
presents to everybody he met He had
lavishly squandered money before his ar
rest on worthless articles, and at the
moment he spoke he offered to give
the physician 500 Just for coming to
see him. imagining that he was friend
on a visit He also turned to the re-
porter. with whom he shook hands as
though he had been acquainted with
him for years. He wound up the very ex-
uberant greeting by promising the re-
porter gold watch and a gold collar
button. Come again and l will have
a little reception for you here" the
patient said as the physician went away.
"What is his specific trouble:?" was
asked.
General paresis," the physician re-
piled. ut has taken the form of sus-
tanned citation, and for two years
that man will be the happiest
of mortals. Nothing in rational
existence could approach to the enjoy
ment he will experience. But it will
all end abruptly in complete mental
darkness and death. A gradual paraly-
sis will attack his system and continue
until brain and limbs are finally help

Why Squash Vines DO Not Bear.

J. T. J., asks why his squash vine has

can tell him. Two wears ago my farm
was in the hands of tenant for a few
months. He thought he would raise q
lot of Hubbard squashes and retire from
business with the proceeds. So he emp
lied the manure cellar upon two acres and
planted squash, and certainly tended
;hem well and had enormous vines. He
pointed with priden to more than one
vine which ran thirty feet and over a
long, snake-like cord which see red to

had lateral shoots. And he retired from
business in the end only with disgust.
Now | have grown squash and melons
for years, and live among professional
melon and squash growers who have
learned to pinch in these rampant shoots,
because these plants are really climbers,
and the main shoot is naturally only the
supporter of the fruit-bearing branches
which are the laterals.
This, of course, would be known to any
Z.
person who considers knowingly the ma
ture of the gourd-bearing plants. The

garden, and, as my practice is, pinched

"A Shower OF Stones.

Gustave Pannilli, who has been out
in the eastern section of the State on a
prospecting trip, says he was frightened
nearly out of his wits last week while
up in the ellis Mountains. He was
passing along the slope of high hill
with a pick and shovel on his shoulder,
when he was startled by number of
fragments of rock falling all about him
at short intervals. A large piece fell
upon ledge of rocks near him, and
was shattered into a thousand frag-
ments, one of which struck the handle
of his shovel, and left mark nearly a
quarter of an inch deep. One or two
rocks fell near to where he was stand
ing. but he picked none of them up,
nor did he even go to look at them.
All he thought of at the time was
show to make the best time down the
mountain" A moment before the
rocks began falling about him, Gustave
says he observed little clouds of dust
"kicked up" on the face of the hill,
half mile to the northward While he
was wondering what raised the dust the
stones began falling on the hill where he
had halted. What fell was doubtless a
shower of aerolites. 1t was about three
o clock in the afternoon. Mr.. Pannilli
says the sky was perfectly clear at the
time. He heard no report at the time
the rocks fell, but recollects that some
moments before he heard heavy ex-
plosion, and wondered if anybody was
blasting in that section, as he knew Of
no company being at work in that re-
gion and had not seen a man during the
Virginia City Nee. Enterprise.
