MISSION VALLEY NURSERIES,

These Nurseries have claims upon the people
western and southern Texas that cannot be urged
by any other establishment.
To give to western and southern Texas List OF
fruits adapted 10 the climatic requirements is the
object to Which the proprietor has devoted his life.
He has been able TO bring to his aid the advantages
Of early horticultural training, and by the erpend-
lture of twenty thousand dollars In experiments
upon our own ground-by close observation and
study through the quarter of . century during
which Horticultural study. experiment and labor
has been his leading pursuit-he has been able to
become acquainted with the peculiar wants Of our
very peculiar climate.
Taking advantage Of the principle well established
by physical geographists, viz that all fruit trees
are improved by being carried toward their polar
Unit and that they dsteriorated By being car
RED toward their eQustorial nmit-he has made his
experiments and established his nurseries farther
ssuth than any other general nurseries In the Unked
States He sells no cheap northern trash TO his
customers. His trees and plants are therefore bet
ter suited 10 Texas culture tnan tboes Of any other
establishment IN the world.

priest. whose mule was showing signs
of uneasiness as the boat pushed of,
"vour mule seems uneasy" My son,
said the priest, with mild reproof,
"some of these days when you find
yourself with only a thin plank be-
tween yourself and eternity, a halter
around your neck and a priest pattlng
YOU on the shoulder, you'll be a great
sight uneasier'n this mule"
The fruit prospectsin Southern and
Southwestern Texas are good, but
the recent cold weather did much
damage in the northern part Of the
State.

The Line Distinctly Drawn.

SHtC2D0 ZiWt5s
The chief significance Of the composition
OF the Ways and Means Committee is in
the, fact thatit includes not single Dem
ocrat" OF the Pennsylvania or protection
8 hool, and not asingle Republican" ofthe
lree.traGe school. The Government party
minority of the committee is asolid protec.
ton minority, and the opposition majority
is solid anti.protection majority. The
design that plainly appears In this is to
draw the dividing line between parties
clearly and distinctly upon the tariff qnea-
ton; to make the name Democrat mean
free trade, and tbs name Republican
mean protectionism. It is at least
q fair and honest projection into the
arena OF legislative action, and proba'
bly, into the Presidency squabble next
year, OF the contest begun in the selection
Of the Speaker between the supporters OF
the freetrade and the protection leaders.
What will be liz effect among the large
bodies OF the "proteCtion Democrats" and
"free.trade Republicans"-both Of which
it utterly ignores-remains TO be seen.
Some may think the commander OF the
free.trade cohorts would have shown
greater "shrewdness" by placing couple
OF pronounced iree.trade Republicans, like
Anderson, OF Kansas, on the minority side
OF the committee; but whether more would
have resulted from that than TO intensity
the disgust Of the protection Democrats,
that are sent 80 effectively and completely
to the rear, may be doubted.

To Make a Short Womnu Long.

IinUrcGa Queen,
Women whose ambition it is 10 be tall
may now find occasion for rejoicing. There
is an invention by which they can be made
taller. The woman who has to undergo
this process is encased in a very tight cor
set, and her feet are placed in shoes with
80 pounds OF lead each. She isthen placed
in machine, consisting OF ring, which
encircles her waist, and suspended from
the ceiling at such height as to prevent
her feet from touching the ground. The
pressure of the corset forces the upper part
Of the body upward, and the weight Of the
shoes stretches her from the waist down.
ward. 1t is estimated that the extreme
length to which the spine may bestretched
by the process thus described is two inches,
and that the knee and hip joints can be
stretched an inch and bali more. Thus
three inches and half can be added to
the height OF any woman who has the cour'
age to undergo the trouble and pain nee
eesarily connected with a'stretchirg process
lasting, with brief intervals, during FIVE or
six months.

The spCnkership In Olhor Years.


n j, Herald.
Kentucky gets the SpeskeBhip again
and it is fact worth noting that this young
State will now havefurnished four Speakers,
whose aggregate term Of service in the
chair is already longer than that Of the
Speakers furnished by any other State in
the Union. Henry Clay, Of Kentucky,
held the Speakership for ten years-the
longest term oil any individual. John
White, OF Kentucky, vas Speaker Of the
Twenly.seventh Congress; and Linn Boyd,
OF Kentucky, was Speaker OF the Thirty
second and Thirty.third Congresses. II
Mr.. Carlisle serves out his time in the
chair KentuCky's occupancy will have
covered eighteen years out OF the
niuety.six since the meeting Of the
first Congress under the Constitution.
The longest terms Of service after Mir.
Clay's were those OF Andrew Stevenson,
OF Virginia, NatEanial Macon, Of North
Carolina, James q. Blaine, Of Maine, and
Schuyler Colfax, OF Indiana, each Of whom
was elected and served for three successive
terms. Massachusetts Congressman have
held the Office for ten years, Virginia Con-
gressmen for eleven years, and Pennsyl-
vania and Indiana Congressman have
filed it nine years each. Delaware,
Rhode Island. and New Hampshire are
the only three Of the original thirteen
States which have never supplied a
Speaker. New York's contribution to the
Office has been limited to one term, in the
person OF John w. Taylor, who was
Speaker OF the Nineteenth Congress.
