Miss Annie Sigfriedson, of Palo Alto,
Mimi, enjoys the distinction of being
the first young lad y to apply at the State
Board rooms rs an immigrant in search

of herself and mother, and in her talk
about the difficulties of creating new
home on government land in that part
of the State, made it very plain that she
possessed the sort of pluck and grit
which would make n man out of n very
poor specimen of the dude. She ex-

Couldn't Beat the Widow.

Peck'S sun.
A Pennsylvania man being very sick
with no hopes of recovery, made his wife
promise to have his remains cremated in
stead of planted. He died, and the
weeping widow carried out his wish, al
though much against her inclinations, as
she was amply able to have n first class
funeral. 1t will take long time to rec
oncile most people to the idea of having
the dear departed incinerated; in fact it
can never become really popular.
In due time the manager of the reduc-
ing furnace called on the widow with
handsome little ebony casket containing
the resdium of what had once BEEN her
John, and handed it to her with the bill,
which was $50. The widow raised the
cover. gazed long and sorrowfully at the
dust dropped a paarly tear from each
eye thereon, then took n crochet needle
and carefully poked around in the ashes.
81 hate to mention the subject" said
she, ''but business is business. Not very
long previous to Mr.. B. S death he had q
full upper set of teeth put in on gold
plate There was about SO worth of
gold by actual weight, as he weighed the
set, and allowed for the weight of the
teeth, just out of curiosity, to see If the
dentist told the truth, you know. He
also had on heavy gold ring of native
Colorado gold, which was worth as bull
lion 81 or IS. In my deep af1liction l
neglected to remove either of those arti
oIes, and find no trace of them here"
and she tapped the casket with the
crochet needle.
Then she resumed: ''Gold is indestructi
BILE by fire, and you must have found it
in the shape of a nugget in your retort,
Why you have not returned it to me do
not know, but if you wish to keepit, you
must credit it on this bill, when I'll pay
you the balance"
The blast-furnace man flushed little,
and replied something about perquisites,
and it being customary to return only
the ashes of the deceased, when he was
interrupted with:
''Perquisites nothing! You should
have put the gold in the casket and thus
spared me the dlsagreeable tax OF assert
ing my rights. Not a cent will l pay
you until you credit the gold at full mar
ket rates on the bill. And more than
that, if you refuse, shall not hesitate to
let people know what treatment they
may expect if they have themselves con-
signed to your crematory." And she
arose and placed the casket on the clock
shelf, saying as she did so : go; l
would fain be alone for awhile with my
dust"
The discounted man departed, mutter
ing to himself, awful sharp woman!
Who'd have supposed she'd think of the
plate and ring at such a time? All, well.
I'll never try to beat woman again
especially one with black eyes"

provides that milk containing more than
 eighty per cent. of water or fluids, or less
 than twelve per cent. of milk solids which shall contain not less than three per cent. of fat, shall be declared adulterated A milk man was tried under the law, on the charge of selling impure, unhealthy, adulterated and unwholesome milk" It was proved that the milk which he sold contained more than eighty eight per cent. of water, and less than three per cent. of fat. The defend ant offered to show that the milk had not been adulterated or diluted, but was sold as it was drawn from the COW. The evidence was rejected, the court holding that the fact that the milk was below the legal standard was conclusive evidence of adulteration. The general term of the Supreme court at Albany has set aside the conviction upon grounds thus stated in the opinion of the courtsa The defendant was charged with selling "impure, unhealthy, adulterated and unwholesome milk" On that charge he was entitled to fair trial according to the "due process of law" Due process of law gave to the defendant the right to contest the allegation that the milk was adulterated 'or impure or unwholesome. The thirteenth section of the act, which requires that the milk shall be declared adulterated if it do not contain the percentage of ingredients specified in the statute, is beyond the legisla- tive over, because it deprives the defend ant of his liberty and property without due process of law, in that it deprives him of ths right to have the issue determined &C., cording to the evidence of the fact, and com pels him to submit to the statutory declara- tion thereof, without having the truth ascer- fainad

bellioas, of Presidents, congresses, embas- sies, treaties and of the rise of great parties in the nation, yet the history of the people is the chief theme. At every stage of prog ress from the America of Washington to the America of the present, it is the purpose of the author to describe the dress, the occupa- tions, the amusements and the literary can ons of the times; to note the changes in manners and morals and to trace the growth of the humane spirit which has reformed and elevated our country. Also the many improvements which have multiplied the conveniences of life are recounted and the rise and progress of the series of mechanical inventions and discoveries are described in detail. The author aims Ito tell how under the influence of peace and liberty there sprang up in the course of century pros- perity unparalleled in the annals of human affairs; how, from a state of great poverty and fsebleness our country grew rapidly to one of opulence and power; how her agricul- ture and manufactures fourished together; how, by a wise system of free education and free press, knowledge was disseminated and the arts and sciences advanced; how the in- genuity of her people became fruitful of wonders" The work will be completed in five volumes.

THE NEW MAIL SERVICE.

When the special letter delivery scheme was first made public it found much favor. It was declared that business men would find the new service very useful and that much time and trouble would be saved by it at small cost. It is too soon to tell just what success the scheme will have, but thus far it has not prospered exceedingly. Very few of the special delivery letters have been sent, and the public interest is not great. Promi- nent posteffice officials have declared against the system, including Postmaster Pearson of tagonistic to the foundation principles of the postal service and ought not to succeed.
 The people of Boston have no faith in the system and they have good reasons for their attitude towards it. A gentleman who lives in that city put in the postoffice at 10 o'clock in the morning 8 letter directed to his house, which is distant twenty minutes ride on the street cars, at the South End, stating that he would not come home to dinner. The letter bore the usual two cent postage stamp and ten cent special delivery stamp. His dinner hour was two o'clock. Before that hour cir cumstances had compelled change in his plans, and he went home to dinner. He hadn't much faith in the new postal ar engagements, and was not much surprised to hear that his letter had not been received. It was finally delivered at half:past three o'clock in the afternoon, having consumed just five and half hours in going distance that might be walked by an able-bodied messenger in forty-6ve minutes. This is parallelled by others. The fault, as the pos tai authorities say, is the system which di- vides the city up into districts, and forbids the delivery of 8 letter from one district to another except by the regular mail transfer, The letter in the case mentioned had to wait in the main office until the regular mail went to Station A; but after it got out to Station it found messenger who was duly authorized to deliver it.
 Similar complaints are made in New York. It does not seem probable that the govern ment's messenger boys will be any more sat- isfactory than the boys who have been doing the work.

TO CONVALE LESCENTS.

ssessAfter & severe attack of disease it does not matter of what type, the constitution is left in an enfeebled and ene-vated condition.
 THE PATIENT FEELS DE- KISSED AND LANGUED.
 The least attempt at exercise tires him and produces unaccustomed pains and aches.
 THE REASON for this is that the tissues-the muscles-have been wasted by disease. The glands and organs have be- come weakened from diseas and medication. The stomach is not i'll condition to assimilate the food that the system requires to build it up.
 WHAT IS NEEDED at this time is reliable stomach and system tonic. Years of experience and hundreds of thousands of eases have demonstrated that no remedy known to medical science equals DEe. R. c. FLOWERS LIVES AND STOMACH SANATIVE as tonic at such times.
 It invigorates and TONES UP THE STOMACH, enabling it to perform it's important part in the process of digestion; it corrects and regulates the action of the liver at time when it is so apt to be de- ranged it quickens the secreting power of tle kidneys, enabling them to eliminate the polsons and waste matter from the system, and lastly ET ACTS As A GENERAL TONEC. GIVING NEW LIFE AND VEGOR TO THE TIRED BODY AND BRAIN.
 wEhere is no other medicine on earth that Combines all these valua- bie qa aalities.
 The testimony of thousands is, that "after taking your sentative for short time l feel like nsw person." and but very recently we are in receipt of large number of letters from GRATEFUL FRIENDS, who, after speaking of late illness, say they ssneycr found a tonic so valua- bIe fin convalescenee as your liver and stomach Sanatfye, and trust that soon every sufferer may know of its wonderful vir- tues.''
