The RedWGGdS of California.

The rcdwoods reach height of from
200 to 800 feet, and stand thickly upon
the ground in great trunks from eight to
twenty feet in diameter at the extreme
base. In the Eastern woods when the
timber man can get 100000 feet from
forty acres he thinks he is doing well.
An ordinary yield in the redwoods, saws
the San Francisco Bulletin, is from
10000 to 100000 feet from the same
area, and not extraordinary is yield of
from 100000 to 3,000,00O feet; while
in Maine, if from $1,000 to 10000 feet is
obtained from single acre it is SUBJ
ject of wonder, here from 100000 to
100000 have been got from a single
acre, and single trees frequently yield
$4,000 feet. In the redwoods the aver
age logs run from six to eight feet in
diameter, while Mr.. Vance is cutting
many from twelve to fourteen feet, and
of such a size that they have to split be-
fore they are moved.
Timber lands in such proximity to
the bay that they will be accessible
within couple of years are held at 500
and upward per acre. The timber upon
such land now actually purchased by
the mill men is paid in accordance with
an estimate of the amount of lumber
taken off, made by survey, and based
upon the number and size of the stumps,
The prices obtained run from 500 to $3.50
per acre, while in exceptional cases
much more has been obtained. The
Washington claim of some 220 acres,
some eight miles from Eureka, lying
Immediately upon the bay, brought its
owner, incredible as it may seem, from
ST. ZOO to $4,000 an acre. This claim
was purchased by the original owner
from the Government in 1856 for
nominal value of few dollars an acre,
and descended to his fortunate heirs.
At the rate the timber is being cut off
the redwoods will not last over CEN
fury.

Candy for Children.

You know that the stomach of child
is very delicate, very sensitive, quite as
much so as the eye; it will bear milk,
and so will the eye, but if you add to the
milk pepper, the eye becomes red, and
SO does the stomach. Cold water is
grateful to the eve to relieve this in
fammation, and it is equally so to the
stomach. Now, candy is but little less
irritating than pepper; it creates the
same redness, the same grade of in
flammation, and there is the same de.
mand for water to quench the inextin-
guishable fame. In such a stomach,
healthy digestion ceases; the appetite
fails; the blood becomes poor and
watery, and the tissues are all impover-
ished. 1t is not the sugar that does the
harm, for pure sugar is healthy; it forms
part of the milk of the infant, and enters
largely into many of our best vegeta-
bles. 1t is the sugar mixed with various
other articles, often poisonous, and the
process of manufacture that render |
candy so injurious.
You mean to do well by your child,
but you are slowly and certainly effect
kng her ruin. At this critical period of
NJ life. when, for proper development
anu growth, she needs large supply of
nourishing and easily digested food,
you give her these detestable compounds
of burnt sugar and poisons, which not
only poison her system, but, worst of
all, deprive her of appetite and even OF
the power of digestion. If you persist
in this course It is not difficult to pre-.
dict the result; the chances that your
child will reach womanhood are dimin.
ished tenfold; if she reach adult years,
it will not prove adult life in her case,
but rather dwarfed and imbecile ma
turity. Her certain inheritance will be
dyspepsia, a morbid appetite for crude
and indigestible articles, and chronic
and incurable diseases, which will rem
der her irritable and peevish, and lead
to premature old age and death in mid
