Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritive value Of

Piles are frequently preceded by sense of
weight in the back, lOins and lower part of the
abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he
has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms of indi-
gestiOn are present hatulency, uneasiness of
the stomach, etc A moisture, like perspira-

after getting warm, is a common attendant

In another column will be found
communication from one Of the petition
ers for larger water main on King
William street. The petition shows one
of the many instances where the Water
works Company has accepted the money
of the city without fulfilling the terms Of
the contract. King William street is
one Of the most beautiful and substan-
tial of the city. 1t has many stately and
costly residences upon it, and at a re-
cent test Of the Mission hose company it
was found that there was not sufficient
pressure to throw good stream OF wa
ter across the street, thereby jeopardiz-
ing the property in case of fire, simply
because the protection from water
would be insufficient. This is one Of the
many cases cited, and yet the city pays
about So, 600 year for fire protection.

long bamboo cs mes. After them came
small army OF musicians with gongs,
cymhals, and trumpets, making noise
enough to scare the sulphur and brim-

range. Next came few hundred little
boys, each holding in his hand some
weapon Of strange form, intended for
the slaughter Of evil-disposed devils.
The bearers of the family tablets with
the names of the ancestors of the de-
ceased marched after the boys. Next in

of priests presented themselves, the first
dressed in white robes, richly embroid-
cred, and the second in scarlet and yell
low. Between these two groups there
was crowd bearing lanterns, flags,
parasols and fans, together with all
sorts Of queer things. The master Of
ceremonies rode on horseback, and was
dressed from head to foot in white, the
Chinese mourning. Behind him was
large white tent carried along by strong
men, and in this the relatives con cealed
their woe. At last the ceffin came in

hearse ornamented in the most gorgeous

FARMING and reaching Is carried on in
the most slipshod manner in this Sec
ton OF the country, and that accounts
| for the many complaints against the
country. A case in point has just come
to light that will clearly illustrate the
case. An Illinois farmer, having heard
of the San Antonio horse market, con-
| cluded to come and see for himself.
After looking about he found ranch
man about twenty miles from town very
anxious to sell just such stock as want
ed, being fair-sized mares. This ranch
man has one of The finest grass growing
places in the West, and has for years
made it business OF cutting hay and
selling hay in this market. lie hauled
hay all last summer and sold it at $40 a
ton. Winter came on dry and his stock
had nothing to eat. Several hundred
head of cattle have died, and now he
has Just sold l25 head of fine mares with
fOal by kentucky jacks, to keep them
from dying from starvation. A few hun
bred dollars worth of hay was sold at a
mere pittance compared with the cost of
putting 1t up and hauling it, and thou
sands of dollars have been lost in stock.
The Illinois man got the mares so cheap
he blushed when he told it, and said
that every mule colt could be sold at
day old for more than coat put on his
farm. lie said that he did not wonder
that Texas had not taken a very adj
vanced position in farming and stock
raising. This is not an isolated case by
any means. You can find that style of
management on all sides. A little of ag-
ricultural education would probably not
come amiss in these parts.

THE question Of teaching foreign Ian
guages in our public schools is amin
portant one, and will sooner or later
force itself into prominense. Here in
San Antonio, on the borders Of Mexico,
with a prospective more intimate rela-

guage is fully as important as is the Ger
man, and by many persons it is cOnsid-
cred even more so. At present German
is taught in all the ward schools, while
Spanish Is taught only in the High
School. Spanish should be taught equal
ly in all the schools, leaving its study
optional with the pupil.

X Hand Tree.

Dr. l.. W. French has one of the most curIous trees on the Pacific coast grow ing in his garden on Third street. The botanical name Of the tree IS unknown by him. The Mexicaas call 1t el srbol de la mana (the hand" tree) from the pc culiar shaped flower 1t bears. The ap- pearance of the tree in the size, color and shape of its trunk and leaves ls like a fig tree. Fifteen years ago Henry Dalton, of tha AZusa, went to the City O. Mexico, and brought back with hlm five seeds of the tree. He gave Dr. French two of the seeds. aud planted the other three himself. but they did not sprout. Only one of the seeds plant ed by Dr French sprOuted, and the re- suit IS this tree. It never bloomed hli few weeks ago, when buds were observ- ed for the first time tO grow, and when they uniold-d gradually thelr green leaves they disclosed an almost per tectly shaped human hand. The wrist. back, fingers. knuckles and joints. and even the thumb and nails are simply perfect. The only discrepancy Is that each hand hss five fingers and a thumb, suggesting the hypothesis land who knows but it may be trueD that the hand of man wRs Cnce SO constituted. Sacred history so relates there was an ancient race that had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. The color of this hOwer-hand is red, So far as known, thIs is the only tree of the kind in California. The flower is some what on the same mode Bs the Holy Ghost flower. which latter belongs to the orchid family.-Los Angeles EI- press.
 The above is mainly correct, being in accurate in one or two minor detsils. The ;seeds were brought from Mexico about eleven instead of fifteen years ago. by Henry Dalton. father of w. A. Dsl- ton, of this city. The latter gentleman gave the seeds to Dr. French, who care fully planted and cared for them for six months before a sprout came up, and then only one grew. Mir. ". A. Dalton has received ons of the flowers. which is now at this office, and l, IS indeed a curious blossom. MT.
