Trees for California,

An interesting ceremony which recently
took place in San Francisco was the distribu-
ton to the public school children of 5000
Seeding pine trees, the gift of Adolph Sutro.
The children brought ordinary flower pots
and carried their young trees away in them,
the shoots being from six to twelve inches in
length. After cultivating them for short
time at home it is the intention of the chill
dren to devote one day in November to plant
ing the sprouts, and hereafter, on each recuF-
ring anniversary of the day, to plant others
In this way it isexpected that the state will
gradually become interested in Arbor day,
and that the result will be tremendous in
crease in the timber of the commonwealth

DEAD LeAyes-LosT HOPE.

This withered rose once lay on her breast;
a maid most fair is she.)
Ny loving lips on its leaves are pressed,
For she is dear to me.
But flowers fade and their odors fail;
20! life is mockery)
This song Of mine must die in g wall,
For she is dear to me.
There may be power in human prayer;
(Sad are the words may be.'0
Ipray that her life shall know no care,
For she is dear to me-
This withered rose is my poor hearts type;
Beyond my hope is she)
God help the man whose passion ripe
Fruition ne'er shall see.

The Watch as a Chrome.

"Watches are cheap, dead down, low" +" sadly
said big jewelry dealer to a reporter HThe
supply is greater than the demand The little
republic of Switzerland is nothing but watch
mandatory Manufactures have sprung up
in the United States wherever stream was
found strong enough to turn a wheel What
is the result? Watches are given away
like chromos, the market is glutted with cheap
timepieces. Once upon time watches were
made of genuine silver and gold, and made to
run and last. Now every metal is used to
make a timepiece, from common every day
brass up.
limitations, too, of gold and silver watches
are hard to detect by the general run of peo-
pie and keep just as good time. Instead of
paying s125 for gold watch, you can buy
one for $50 or $40 just as good The old prices
are no more. The more simple the interior
of watch becomes the cheaper the price
Some watches go right along with one or two
cog wheels out and are accordingly cheaper.
A real first class gold watch is still worth up
in the hundreds. 1 am speaking Of the COM
mon watch as worn by the masses years ago,
when 1 first went into business. I never
dreamed that watches would be bought like
potatoes, by the barrel, in order to distributed
to customers. New York Mail and Express

The Marriage Laws of France.

a French man or woman whose choice meets
with parental opposition is condemned to long
waiting before marriage can take place. A
son under % and daughter under
81 cannot marry without the consent
of both father and mother; or, if the parents
disagree of the father; or if one be dead, OF
the surviving parent. Even after the man
is p and the woman 81 this consent
is necessary in certain contingencies.
A man of 30 and woman of % have to
notify their grandparents of intention
of marriage The individual is nothing, the
family is all Marriage has become one
of the trades of parents Children are forced
into matrimony or kept out Of it as family ir-
terests or selfshness may dictate.
These marriage laws are articles Of the Code
Napoleon and bear the impress OF his cold,
calculating selfishness. Napoleon had no
more hesitation in breaking heart than he
had in expending q cartridge. After he had
gained his utmost power he dictated the mar
riages of all his family and all his officers who
would submit to him, and quarreled with all
who would not sacrifice their own affections
TO his interests He broke up Jerome Bona
parties marriage and quarreled with his
brother Lucien because the latter would not
nut aside the wife he loved and marry
woman designated by the emperor. The
French marriage laws have been responsible
for many deaths and horrible amount Of un-
happiness, and Napoleon is responsible for tho
laws-Boston Transcript.

Sore Ewes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids inhamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful In
hammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for number of years. By the
advice of physician 1 commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time was completely
Cured
Ny eyes are now in a splendid condi-
ton, and am as well and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, n. 81.
For number of years was troubled
with humor in my eyes, and was unable
TO obtain any relief until commenced
using Ayers SarSaparilla. This medi-
cine has effected complete cure, and I
believe it to be the best of blood puri-
fiers. E. Upton, Nashua, n. II.
From childhood, and until with few
months, 1 have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. 1 have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and consider it
great blood purifier. - Mrs. c. Phillips,
Glover, Vt.
I suffered for year with inflamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, l was final
ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of inflanma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. Kendall
T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was atfiict-
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light OF
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no ,
permanent success. On the recommen-
dation of friend 1 purchased bottle of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.
Her cure is complete. w. Z. Suther-

COSMOPOLITAN ENGLAND.

A Glance at the Advertising Columns of
the London Times-Mail Service.
England owns more ocean going tonnage
than all the rest of the world, and her trade
for foreign lands is more extensive than that
of any other country. Her merchants and
her ships are in all ports The traders of Lon
don seem to have the most intimate connec-
tions with merchants in every quarter Of the
globe.
A glance at the general advertising col
umns of The London Times will give one a
clear idea of the ramifcations Of hercommerce.
Here one will see in a single page announce
ments of the sailing of ships of every class
and bound about everywhere, and offerings
of merchandise in any quantity and of all
types, and the products of all lands But
look at a few special advertisements will give
one a clear idea of England's outlying bust
ness connections.
Here among the wants are calls for men to
fill situations in all latitudes, and also notices
of persons in need Of places whose addresses
range from the pole to the equator. In the
"for sale" columns are offerings Of coffee
plantations in Ceylon, sugar estates In India
and Cuba, chateaus in France and Spain,
ranches and mines in the United States,
baronial halls and deer forests in Scotland,

The Palm Reading Nuisance.

Allow me space for a protest against the
latest craze of society-amateur palmistry.
The practice is as easy as table turning or
working planchette, and therefore is spread
ing rapidly. a couple of hours study of a
shilling manual and a preliminary examina-
ton of two or three hands will provide the
necessary smattering of knowledge.
You can hardly now find any social gather
ing, from wedding breakfast to picnic, at
which some lady or gentleman does not pro-
feSS the occult art or science, and as curiosity
is quite as prevalent social curse as ever it
was, of course you have in your turn, to sur
render your hand for investigation. Let me
at once admit that the requisite manipulations
of ones hand by fair experimenter are not
altogether unpleasant to the corpus vile, and
one does not mind hearing a little harmless
nonsense about "lines of life," mounts of
Jupiter and Mercury" "stars," "crosses" and
the like; but 1 do not like to be told that my
finger tips are "quarrelsome," and when the
young lady gravely raises her eyes to mine
and says, you have twice betrayed trust
ing heart, and once it was through avarice,"
l feel positively uncomfortable Especially
annoying is it to have ones wife come up
just in time to hear, From first to last your
career has been, and will be, dominated by
the influence of three women" Worst of all,
you are expected to admit that there may be
something in all this, and that the sibyl has
certainly made some startling hits. If you
pooh-pooh it, every one at once concludes
that you resent being told bitter home truths
The palmist of the clubs has no redeem
ing features. His touch is unpleasant, and
he does not strive to say what he can in your
favor. On the contrary, believe that, un-
der cover of his pretended art, he delights in
a disagreeable plainness of speech, for which
under ordinary circumstances one would
kick him. On the other hand, l have heard
him butter some of my friends in manner
wholly contemplate.
Let me put this dilemma If the palmist
can read my history and character upon my
hand, he ought to be bound by the secrecy of
the confessional. If he cannot, he is a mere
humbug.-Cor. London Standard.

"The Red Death" of Russia.

Russia is peculiarly rich in surprising
sects and associations, but the most astound-
ing is one lately brought to light bearing the
ominous title of "The Red Death" Its menu
bers affect to believe that he who consciously
permits another to suffer prolonged pain COM
mits mortal sin In order to abbreviate the
sufferings of humanity it is a matter of con-
science with them to kill the sick, that they
may be put out of their pain quickly. The
association takes its name from the fact that
its executioners dressed in red for the occasion,
strangle their victims with red cord, plac-
ing them for the purpose upon red cata-
falque, beneath the dull reddish light of an
oil lamp This strange and horrible associa-
ton was brought to light by the energetic OPP
position interposed by a man in Saratoi when
his mother and sister endeavored to strangle
his sick wife He called in the authorities,
who have already arrested some forty men,
bers of the murderous sect. Their organiza-
ton seems to be a transference from India to
Muscovite soil of the worship of Bohwanee,
the religion of the Thugs-New York Sun.

"Just this way" pursued the officer. "You
call for cigar, the dealer takes handful
from the box, spreads them out before you,

right to return those cigars to the box, and

Young sinners, when breaking
away from the restraints of virtue,
often boast of their purpose "to do
as they please" God in his desire to
exalt them to dignity but little lower
than the angels, endowed them with
that high degree of liberty. But it
is an awful gift, since it gives them
the power not only to rise to godll-
ness, on one hand, but also to sink
themselves into the depths of moral
shame and misery. Remember, there
fore, 0 young sinner, that in doing as
you please, if it pleases you to do
wrong, you will find yourself in the
iron grip of Gods eternal law which
with an irresistible force will lead you
TO the darksome charnel house of the
second death.
