Brook Trout in California.

The brook trout of Whitney Creek
are almost as regally colored as the
gold fish. Their sides are barred with
gold, while underneath they are of the
most delicate, but very richly blood
color. They are remarkably tenacious
OF life. After being dressed for over
ten minutes, and after being two min
utcs in the pan, in boiling fat. they
were still vigorously protesting against
death and dishOnor OF cooking. The
flavor of these brook trout, though very
fair, was rot remarkable, but as TO
beauty, they were incomparably ahead
Of any fish not of the tropics have ever
seen. 10 take them from their crystal
waters. III all lheir grace OF lie, flash of

OF the New lork tar, he believed and
uttered with his whole soul. and had
tho habit. when under the excitement
OF some pressing events, of emphasiz-
mo his speech by slight oaths. Oh

ted this, but the habit was lar less
common than rImor has laid to his
charge, and he was never rough OF in

discovered by DIR. William, ian Indian
remedy y)called DIR. WILLIAMS INDIAN

the worst chronic cases of twenty-five
years standing. No one need suffer
five minutes after applying this won
derful soothing medicine. Lotions and
instruments do more harm than good
Williams Ointment absorbs the tu-
nors, allsys the intense itching, (par-
ticularly at night after getting warm
in bed,) acts as poultice, gives in

pared only for Piles, itching of the

An Amusing Incident.


Washington correspondent, writing
to the New, York Herald, says: An
amusing story is told of the mistake
that befel one of the new department
officials recently. The official referred
to halls from the boundless west, and
was only recently placed in charge of
one of the bureaus of prominent de-
partment. He was very anxious to
become a member of the order of Odd
Fellows. Some of the members of the
order ascertaining this. his name was
proposed and he was accepted. The
next question was his initiation. He
was invited TO appear ut one OF the
down town halls one evening last week
for initiation. One of the rooms of the
hall referred to is also used by body
of Knights of Labor. Both hall rooms
are on the second iioor. The Odd Eel
lows turn to the right to reach their
room, while the Knights Of Labor turn
to the left, The same aIte-roOm or
outside hall does duty Tor both orders
Ii appears that the knights OF Labor
expected q candidate, aud they were
waiting for MIN. As soon as The gen.
tleman referred 10 reached the outer
door to the ante-room the outside gen
tleman met him with pleasant smile
AMI asked: Are you TO be initiated
tonight" The official, Imposing that
the sentinel did the outside business
for the Odd Fellows, answered thai lie
expected 10 have the honor, With
out any further waste OF words the
outside sentinel informed his comrades
there was a candidate Tor initiation in
waiting. Inc doors were soon opened,
and The official was led into tue inltia-
tion-room. There was the usual Cnant
song, and the officers OF the council
began reading their lessons which are
read TO all candidates for initiation.
The ceremony was more than Laif Over
when the official u,Peuded The further

him to explain, and the official asked.

Juuic'S Memory.

Judic looks as sweet and fresh as a
peach on the stage; though off she
shows her age. She has one supreme
physical charm, that of exquisite clean
liness. Ii she had just stepped from L
bath and had been violet powered and
polished she could not look more de-
lightfully enticing. l think she has
the loveliest expression of any woman
| eversaw on or of the stage. A very
pretty New Yorker, who travelled on
from New York in the same car with
her Monday, tells me she is unaffected
and agreeable rather than sparkling in
conversation. When this young lady
WAS introduced Nine. Judic gaZed at
her few moments and then said she
had seen her before. The lady repiied:
80 no; ii was the first time" 20, but
| have; you We're at the theatre on
such night anu sat i'll such box. "
1t was true enough, and shows that
the plump little artistic possessed the
rare faculty of remembering any face
once seen, even in u crowded theatre.

Uncle Sam Keats the Record.

I'VE beat the world on mowers and
reapers, says an official of the
Bureau of Agriculture. This depart
ment has finished compilation of
figures on the exports of farming ma
chinery from this country. Before
1864 agricultural impliments had no
designation as such in our statistical
reports. They were simply included
in other classes of manufactured arti-
cles, and not until 1870 was there a
division of these implements so that
we can know just what was exported.
But from 1870 to 1884, inclusive. we
sent to other countries over $50, 500 900
of agricultural machinery, aud of this
nearly one-half consisted OF mowers
and reapers. Great Britain has pa
tronized our manufacturers of these
machines to the amount of over So, 000-
600 in the past fifteen years; Germany,
over 81. 600, 600; Australia over 81 .OO0,-
600; France, nearly 81. SOC, 900; the Ar
gentine Republic, over 81 900. 900. and
the British possessions in North Amer
lea over $500,000. Our export of agri-
cultural implements jumped up from a
little over 5000. 900 in 1864 to over
s., 100000 in 1870, and to nearly S.
800, 600 in 1884.
''There is Il significance in the fig
ures, aside from the general interest
which will be felt in this evidence of
appreciation of Yankee ingenuity.
Wherever this labor-saving machinery
goes, there will be increase in the
crops and saving in the cost of their
production aud harvest. All OF this
has very imparlant bearing on the
future of agricultural prodution. The
greatest demand for our implements
come from the new colonies, where
the population is increasing most rap
idly. Last year the 400, 600. 600 people
of China bought only $40 worth of
agricultural implements from this
country, while the 2,500,0 900 Chilians
took from us $S4. 1875. The general use
of this improved machinery in new
countries insures its use in their devel-
opment-when their agriculture will
constitute large percentage of the
agriculture OF the globe. This is sub
jcct for American farmers 10 think

we have had the exclusive sale of the
Rock ford Quick Train Railroad Watch

PARTY CAN BUY THEN FROM THE FAC
TORY, OR HAS ANY RIGHT TO SELL
THEM. 1t seems to US much like b0ys'
play to get angry and advertise prices
because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as we
have no money to advertise goods not
in stock. Such desperate efforts will
not deceive any. The people know
that we have never cursed the place as
