Century Plants.

Quite a number OF century plants, IN
various portions of California are in bloom.
One upon q ranch in Sonoma Valley, on
tie west side near the foothills, grew six
feet IN eight days, or three eighths of an
inch per hour, which is fair sample OF
the rapidity of flower stem development
IN these interesting plants. at Petaluna
two plants are about to bloom, and will be
in their prime next week mammoth
century plant, which has been for years
on farm IN the San Gabriel Valley, will
blossom soon. The plant spreads over a
circle forty-eiehs feet in circumference.
The flower stem 10 expected to become
forty or more feet high before 1t completes
| its growth. At Alyarado large century
plant is now thrusting up its flower stem.
| Eight or ten other cases are reported Il
other parts of the State. The century
plant, will, IN California, bloom Ia eigh
or ten years after being planted. Th'
Mexicans make an intoxicating drink
pulque, from the sap. and its manufacture
is said 10 be very profitable. From tn
leaves hemp-lIke finer is obtained.

Very stout persons Will buy mirror
that gives them a more slender app ar
ance, and the thin and angular will
choose the opposite kind. 1t is related
of a man. who was called joker. that
in the dressing room Of his stout and
slight built friends he had mirrors placed
that would compliment their respective
persons. Some mirrors of the cheaper
kind will make the face broad in one
position and narrow in another, and the
person using such one has only to turH
the glass to suit his particular fullness,
or lack of it. 1t Is one of the delights
of shop-keeper's life to observe the
characteristics of persons who buy mir
rors. Some will not look in them.
Others stare at themselves with great
earnestness. One woman was heard to
/ remark: Il should like to know how
look in this glass with my best dress on. y
The standard mirror of the day is a
long, narrow one that rests upon its own
base, which stands upon the floor. The
mirror that res's upon a marble slab al
some distance from the floor is not sc
near the style as the one mentioned
above. An ebony frame with gilt Orna

Jerry Raldy.

-"who is this Jerry Baldy?" asked
countryman, as he bought Penn,
Paper of boy who was. crying tn
death OF the eminent italian patriot.
Dunno Guess he's brother o
Tom, replied the boy counting over hi
pennies.
"What Tom?"
Tom BalIy, of course. Didn't yo,
never hear of Tom and Jerry? Where'v'
you been all summer"
The rural gentleman looked NOR
mystified than ever, and after studying
the paper in bewildered way for
spell, he collared a man who was hurry
ing by, and asked him as special favol
to inform him who Jerry Badly was an(
where he died.
''Garibaldi;" replied the man, who
Glanced to be one of the smart chap:
who know almost everything and are
pleased with an opportunity to impart
information-never in too much of a
hurry 10 show goods; ;;"Garlbaldi was one
OF the NihiIists that blew up the Gar,
and he passed on.

''Garibaldl?" he repeated. "You

he first organized the Irish Land Lea
que"
Thank you, thank you," said The
countryman, but as he never had heard
of the Land League he was no wiser
than before. He would at least know
where Garibaldi died, and he learned on
inquiry of another man that he was
stabbed while taking an evening walk
in Phoenix Park, Dublin.
He might have gone home without
making any further effolt 10 unravel the
mystery, had he not continued to en-
counter newsboys who were making the
air vocal with the name OF Garibaldi and
'-all ahoUt" him. 1t piqued him to find
little six year old boys who seemed to
know all about the deceased gentleman,
while lie knew little or nothing. and he
resumed his quest for information with
the most conflicting results. One nan
told HIM Garibaldi built the Suez canal;
another that he was an Italian tragedian
stricken down by death Just as he was
about to sail for America on contract
with Il manager to receive one hundred
per cent. of the receipts and his expen-
ses; another that he was the lunatic who
fired at the Queen; another that he was
one OF the survivors of the Jeanette ex-
petition, while another assured him
that GaribaldI was Clara Belle in dls-
guise.
He was seen footing 1t in the direction
of home that evening, muttering inco-
herently to himself like sleep walker.
Yet there are multitudes of people whose
ideas of the dead Italian are scarcely
better defined.

Chilling Winds.

The delightful climate of Ca ifornia
has It's disadvantages, and among those
one + the most serious is the strong
and chilling winds that blow from the
ocean at some points along the coast.
What makes this particularly impOr
tant Is the fact that the soil Is often
cultivated to the very verge of the
beach, where vegetation, grain, and
fruit that wouid otherwise flourish lux
uriantly, feel the winds keenly. 1t is
now proposed to remedy this evil by
planting dense rows OF hardy trees
along the coast to form barrier against
the winds. That would also serve the
useful end of helping to fix the shifting
sands. 1t is more than likely that IL
course of time the coast of Californi;
Will present the novel spectacle Of nm
broken woodland extending along tn
very edge of the OCEAN for hundreds
miles.

AN effort was made on last Friday evening to Or
ganize Literary Association in this place. 1t was
rainy, unpleasant evening. Ameeting was appointed
at the residence of j. L. Long on Broadway Street.
Only three persons attended. This certainly a
discouraging outlook, when we bear in mind the
probability that at least twenty young were
at that hour engaged in questionable passtimes in
the different doggeres of Jackson. Yet many great
works have resulted from small beginnings, and with
work the part of those already interested
in the matter, an interest may be awakened which
will result in organization which will be credta-
BILE town, and profitable to the members Of the
organization. jackson has many intelligent young
men who might be largely benefited by belonging to
such an organization. These cannot be benefited by
spending their time in the dens of nfamy that abound
in this place.
With the Reading Room, Dramatic Association,
and Literary Association the young people of Jack
son ought able to spend the long winter evenings
proHtably. We trust that all interested in mental
culture will give every encouragement to the Litera-
nv Association.

sssulitting the Direrence p,

A good story is told of Jackson man
who had an old cow which he desired to
have fattened for beef. The usual Gus
tom of "fattening on shares" is that the
party who does the feeding gets half OF
the meat, and the hide and tallow goes
for the butchering. But this Jackson
man was not satisfied with the old way.
He would do better. He would "split
the difference" on new basis. Going to
farmer friend he made this proposition
The farmer was to take the COW, weigh
her, and commence to feed her ION the
shares" When she should become fat
enough to kill, the farmer was to kill her
weigh her, and receive as his share one
half the difference between her weight
when he began to fatten her, and he1
weight when killed. And only to think
that the thoughtless farmer refused tt
accept this golden offer!

A GOOD joke is told prominent citizen of this
place, living near the School House. Some time ago
hen belonging to him began ''setting somewhere
away from home and he concluded she was under the
School House. New CRATES were put under the build
ing, thus closing up the of ingress egress.
The hen did not come up, usual, after the CRATES
were put in, and the owner-being a kind-hearted
man-went and tore out one of the CRATES. Sure
enough, that day the hen came up. The owner sent
his children to guard the hole under the building,
while he attempted to capture the hen.
After eating for while, away went the hen hotly
pursued by the man. Away, toward the School House
TO the School House. past the School House, and
out into the weeds In the School House yard and
squatted upon her nest in the weeds where she had
been all the time The had to pay fifty cents for
getting the hole under the School House stopped and
after all his worry, the ungrateful hen only Matched
out two chickens.

A FRIEND telephoned to US from Coal
ton on Monday night that he had mar
yelous dog story to tell us. We caution
ed him to give us only the truth, as we
have hatchet, like the youthful Wash
ingtion, and the STANDARD cannot lie.
He said he did not have hatchet, but he
never lied. Then we heard his narrative.
Capt. Stephen Morgan has blind dog.
The dog was on one side of the railroad
track and Morgan on the other side. The
dog was smelling his way along, and had
got his head across the rail, when a train
backed up, andA several wheels passed
across the dogs neck. He got up, ap-
parently uninjured. Our informant said
he afterwards saw him eating. We in
quired whether the dog did not have a
collar on. He said he did not.

On last Thursday young man named
McCray, who lives at Coalton, was out
with shotgun, and for some purpose got
upon stump, when the gun was dis
charged, and the load was lodged in his
abdomen. 1t was thought that he must
surely die, but we learned on Monday
night that he was still living, with fair
prospect of getting well.
Young McCray is about II years of age,

dent in this place, and who was for a
time given up to die; but he got well.
