land subject to homestead entry for
six months, he may give the regu-

both make homestead entry and

that the five years, after which a
man may make final proof, is to be
computed from the day of entry and
not from the date of actual settle.

Golden Gate NabObs.

The biggest fortunes on the Pacific coast
are those of the Central Pacific Railroad
magnates, and Ex-Governor Stanford is
the richest of the gtoup. His wealth is
estimated at $75, 900, 900; that is. his
yearly income is equal to the interest on
such capital, and his property is con-
stantly increasing in value. He owns
more than $4,000, 900 alone in San Fran
cisco in real estate, to say nothing OF his
farms, vineyards, breeding ranches, etc.
The Ex-Governor has but one child. Le-
land, Jr., lad of about fifteen. The
richest widow on the Pacific coast. or in
the conntry for that matter, with the pos
sible exception of Mrs. Corneha Stewart,
ls Mrs. Mark Hopkins, widow of one of
the Central Pacific syndicate. Her hus.
bands estate proved up to $2S, 100000,
and the only two men in California who
could justify on the widows bond as ex-
ecutrlx were Leland Stanford and Charles
Crocker, two of her husbands business
associates. They were compelled to JUS
tify In twlce the amount of the estate and
each swore that he was worth SAG, 900, 600.
Mrs. Hopkins is an elderly woman. They
had no children, but had adopted son,
whom Mrs. Hopkins has just married 30
Miss Crittenden, protege of hers, provi-
ding her with the dot of aprincess. There
are other heirs tc the estate, but the adop-
ted son, Tim, will get the bulk of it.
The richest young and unmarried woman
on the Pacific coast Is Miss Jennie Flood,
only daughter OF the bonanza king. The
richest prospective heiress IN California
Is MISS Hattie Crocker, the only daughter
of Charles Croker, another of the railroad
syndicate. She, also, is charming girl,
and, like Miss Flood, is rather plain in
appearance. She Is noted for her chari-
| Ties and domestic virtues The whole
value of Uncle Billy O'BrIens estate was
little over $9.0O0,000 After the lega-
cies were paid the residue was turned
orer to Mr.. OBrien's two sisters, Mrs.
Coleman and Mrs. Joseph McDonough.
! The two ladies inherited $3, 500, 900 each.

Bless His Dear Heart.

In very elegant palace car entered q
weary-faced, poorly-dressed woman with
three little chlldren--one babe IN heI
arms. A look of Joy crept into her face
as she settled down into one OF the luxu-
rious chairs, but 1t was quickly dIspelled
as she was asked ru1ely 10 'start her
boot" A smile of amusement was seen
on several faces as the frightened group
hurried out to enter one of the common
cars. Upon one young face however,
there was a look which shamed the coun-
tenance of the others. ''Auntie," said
the boy to the lady beside him, 81 am
going to carry my basket of fruit aud this
box Of sandwiches TO the Door woman IN
the next Car. You are willing, of course2"
He spoke eagerly, but she answered:
''Dont be foolish, dear, you may need
them yourself, and perhaps the woman is
an impostor." "N0, III not need them, :"
he answered decidedly, bnt in very low
tone You know | had hearty break
fast, and don't need lunch. The woman
looked hungry. auntie, and 50 good, too,
with those three little babies clinging to
her. pll be back in minute, auntie;
know mother wouldn't like 1t if didn't
speak a kind word to the least of these
when l meet them" The worldly aunt
brushed tear from her eye after the boy
left her. and SAID, audibly: 'Just like his
dear mother" About five minutes later,
as the lady passed the mother and the
three children, she saw pretty sight-the
family feastlng as perhaps they had never
done before; the dainty sandwiches were
eagerly eaten, the fruit basket stood open.
| The eldest child, with her mouth filed
with bread and butter, said: "Was the
pretty boy an angel, mammal" "No, y
answered the mother, and a grateful look
frightened her faded eyes; 'but he is doing
angels work, bless his dear heart!" AnC
we, too, SAID, "Bless his dear heart"

A Country Christmas Tree.

There were nearly three hundred orna-
ments on our tree before any OF the presents
went on, said O correspondent. They
were nearly all homemade. We cut out
of rather stiff bristol-board some five.
pointed stars little boots, Maltese crosses,
butterflies, shields, arrows and horseshoes.
Several of each kind were made, large
bowl OF boiled paste prepared, and each
was covered on both sides with colored
paper, mostly silveg and gilt, and some
with red and blue. We found piece of
broken looking glass in the attic and had
it cut up into many little pieces, bound
each one with lute-string rIbbon pasted on,
aud when dry furnished each with strings
by which to hang them up. They reflect
all the lights and make the effect very
brilliant.
Cornucoplas we were able to make very
easily, for we had carpenter prepare us
slender wooden cone, just the shape OF
one, and it is very pleasant work TO place
them together over this model, put pretty
embossed picture on each and then slip off
to dry. The prettiest of Sll trlnkets We
made as follows: Taking a quantity of
English walnuts we split them Zone at a
time) into halves, filed one-hah with little
''carraway comfits," glued on the other
half, first slipping in little loop of ribbon
at the top. aud laid each one aside TIL dry.
Then each was guided with liquid gliding.
We used the ''Bessemer gold paint, and
there are many other preparations equally
good. These little ''rattIe-boxes" are
lovely, and everybody viii want one. A
loG of tiny rosy-cheeked apples were pol
lsbed up and furnished with strings.
But the prettiest of all were the tfcrys-
talllzed ornaments" FIRST | made some
small baskets of annealed wire and wound
them very profusely with bright-colored
zephyr. The rose colored and the light
green proved TO be the prettiest, also one
that wound in shaded green, with little
dots of red, but the light blue and lemon
colored were not to be despIsed. 1heH I
procured five pounds of alum and large
stone crock and made hot solution of
alum and put In the crock, lald a stick
across the top and suspended my baskets,
one at time, In the hot alum water, leav-
Ing them about twelve hours undistur5 bed.
Sometimes had better success than others,
but generally they looked like the most
luscious French candy when taken out, as
the color of the zephyr showed through
the frostlng. Then hung the basket up
to dry, reheated the solution, sometimes
making it stronger, and started again. /
also crystaIlize,l grasses and branches with
lovely effect.
Our way of mounting the tree proved
very substantial and strong: Two pieces
of scantling, SIX feet long and two inches
by four, were morticed and put together
in the form of cross. AT the point where
they crossed the tree was fastened upright
by being nailed on with long spikes. Four
braces were then added, making the whole
very strong. Laying stout brown paper
underneath we covered the boards from
sight with quantities of gray moss and
trailing vines, and sprlnllled all well with
the watering pot as a precaution against
fire should any ornament blaze up and
fall.

The Priest and a HeretIc.

Father O'Rafferty, an Austin clergy
man, met Mike Sullivan the other day,
and during the conversation Father
O'Rafferty said:
"Mlster Sullivan, how is it that yez
being an Oirishman yez do not belong
to the howly Catholic Church?"
because J lost all confidence in the
howly church twinty years ago, sor."
'And how did you come to lose all
confidence in the howly church?"
"Ill tell yez how it was, Father
O'Raferty. Me y uDgest brother was
married to hiritic, but in the howly
church by praste. 1t was mixed
marriage, as 1t is called. Well, sor,
the praste made me brotherlpromise that
all the children should be brought up
in the Catholic faith"
"And how did that cause yez to lose
faith in the infall1ble church?"
"Bedad, sor, they have been married
now, sor, more than twinty years, and
divil kid have they got yit, sor."
''M1sther Sullivan" said the priest
solemnly, sit would have been betther
for yer sowl If yer father, instead of
yer brother had married hiritic."
The priest had him there.

Eastern Carpets.

1t is not easy for a European who has
never been IN the East to realize what an
important position the carpet fills there
To an Arab his rug is his most treasured
possession. Without one he is a pauper.
1t Is necessary 10 his devotions, it Is often
his bed, sometimes his saddle and gener-
ally the only decoration of his tent. This
has been the case for centuries and over q
vast extent of territory. The prices given
in ancient times would now be thought
eXtravagant even by the collector who
will offer thousands OF pounds for Mels-
sonier few inches square. A million of
money is said to have been paid by a
former Guikwar of BAroda for cover for
the Prophets tomb, and, though the
greater portion of this sum represented the
jewels interviewer, still about ESQ, 900 re-
maiued as the value of the groundwork.
Major Evan Smith meutons that he saw
at Herman carpet made for the shrine of
Mashad which was to cost at the rate Of
Ct the square yard. Igwas IL yards long
by q broad, and would take two years TO
make. This means u still larger price
when labor becomes more valuable, which
it must do even in Eastern countries.
Then, too, modern chemistry has done its
hest u ruin the colors, and dyers are not
proof against the temptation of the cheap
ness of anilInes as substitute for the more
expensive but lasting pigments. MIR. VIM
cent Robinson tells US that Kermes, the
best red ever discovered, was in the Middle
Ages in general use ali over Europe. II
was known TO the Greeks and Romans,
the Turks, Cossacks ana Armenians We
netian red was n4aae NOM il, and the
Spaniards paid tribute TO Rome with its
grains. The serfs In Germany were bound
annually to deliver certain quantity to
the converts. Hellot speaks of 1t IN OLD
Flemish tapestries as having lasted two
hundred years without fading. Dir. VIII
liam Morris has determined to revive this
valuable dye, for there is no red known in
modern times that can supplant 1t for last
ing qualities. Whether 1t can be procured
at price which is likely to bring it into
general use, remains question yet TO be
solved.

DuelIinG In the German Army.

For an officer OF the army to refuse
to fight duel is still regarded by the
German military authorizes as grievous
offense. A little while since an officer
in the battalion of Landwehr in Cologne
offended two of his comrades by some
remarks on their conduit. Though
these officers could not justify them
selves, they were nevertheless aggrleved,
and challenged the offender. This gen
tleman refused to accept the challenge,
alleging conscientious scruples. The
matter was referred to a court of honor,
and the court decided that the officer
challenged must fight. Thereupon he
called upon his Colonel and informed
him of his desire to resign his commits
sion, as he was suffering from a neural
gic affection of the heart. In reply the
Colonel suggested that he had probably
refused to accept the challenge because
he was in ill-health, and nervous, and
mentally debilitated through sickness.
The officer, however, not only declined
to adopt this suggestion, but again
| declared that under no circumstances
whatsoever would he engage in duel
Therenpon the matter was again re-
ferred to the court OF honor, with the
result that the poor man, instead Of
being allowed to resign his commission,
was dismissed from the service.

An Insect Carpet Bagger.

An e1perimenter in Southern agri-
culture told me the following historiette
of Northern bees in the South. He
took a colony of the little gratultous
honeymakers down to Florida. The
first year they reveled, throve and
stored honey nearly all the UNMARRIED
summer time, But the second year a
few of the more reflective bees evil
IDENTIFY turned the thing over in their
minds thus; "this country has no win
ter to provide against; what is the use
of laying up honey where the flowers
blossom all the year round?" These
bees exerted enough influence among
their friends to keep a good many bees
from laying by any sweet merchandise
the second year of their exile. But
the prudential instinct, so strong in
the little insect, prevailed with the
majority. They evidently said to them
selves; Perhaps this had been an
exceptional year. Next season may
bring cold and snow aud dearth of
flowers" So there was quite stock
of honey laid by on the second year in
spite of q few strikers. But by the
third year the conviction had evidently
thoroughly penetrated the bee mind
that it was foolish to lay up in land
of eternal blossom. They made just
enough to last from day to day, aban-
doning themselves to living from hand
to mouth as recklessly as does any
tropic-born butt erhy.

WORSHIP IN THE WOODS.

How rich the embroidered carpet spread,
on either side the common way;
Azure and purple, gold and red,
Russet ana white, anu green and gray,
With shades between,
Woven with light in looms unseen.
The dandelon's disk of gold,
With lustre decks the meadow green,
And multiplied million fold,
The daisy lights the verdant scene;
The blue mint's plumes
Invite the bees 10 their perfumes.
A wrlnkled ribbon scenes the road,
Unspooled from silent hills afar;
Rest, Ike an angel, lifts the load
And in my path lets down the bar,
And here il brings
lease OF hfe on healing wings.
The summer leisure OF the cloud
That wanders with its trnmpeter,
The wind, is mine; no wrangling crowd
Annoys the humble worshiper
In the white tent
Beneath n listening armament.
Up-noaung on the ambient air,
sweet songs of sacred music rise,
And now a voice distinct in prayer,
Like the lark's hymn, reaches the skies,
And the "Amen"
Is echoed from the hills and glen.
The wood vast cathedral seems,
Its dome the overarching sky:
The light through trembling branches streams
From open windows lifted high;
Under the 1Ts
Soft shadows shield the worshlpers
