A Stupend0us Cattle Ranch.

mere enumeration Of figures and mum
bers. When | say that n firm of cattle

sheep and pigs, with two great cattle
ranches, and eight main farms, beside
20, 600 acres in grain, comprising in all
700, 900 acres, or 100 miles of land. the
mind can scarcely take it in. Perhaps
it may give a clearer idea to say that
they own all the land on the west bank
Of the San Joaquin River for fifty miles
and rearly all on the opposite side: and
it is said of them that In driving their
beef cattle to market in San Francisco,
for overa hundred miles they drive
them over their own land, and 'put up
each night at one of their own ranches.

WOMAN SUCCEEDS.
One of the SuccessfuNO Ones Tells How l
is Done.

No proper estimate OF the future econom-
ical progress of ~.the,,co3utry can be made
that does not take intofonsideration an ele-
ment which may be termed the woman In
business"
She is knocking at all the doors of com
merciaf enterprise, and there are very few
into which she has not already forced an
entrance, The results seem to indicate that,
beyondia doubt, she has come to stay.
She cannot perhaps often reach the levers
which move the great driving wheels OF bust
ness. but she proves a most important factor
IN the minor but scarcely less important
machinery of detail.
Phil Armour's private secretary is a
young lady who was first employed as a
stenographer and typewriter. She proved
SO capable and efficient that her sphere Of
usefulness has been gradually enlarged, until
she now has probably q closer acquaintance
with Armour's extended business than any
other person connected whit.
1t used to be claimed that woman had
neither physical nor mental stamina to con
duct a large business.
Mrs. Frank Leslie has made a success Of
as complicated a business enterprise as almost
any in the country. The strong point in this
case is that when she took the helm, the
Feank Leslie Publishing Company had but a
short time previously failed.
Madam Demorest conducts a very extern
sive business. which includes the publishing
Of a magazine. Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller
conducts a famous dress reform movement.
and is also the editress of q very successful
magazine called Dress. Her daily mail is
said to be larger than that of any other
woman in the United States.
Mrs. Miller says: "Narners safe cure is
the only medicine | ever take or recommend.
The safe cure has the effect to give new
energy and vitality to all my powers
These women have demonstrated that the
sex can succeed in business if they take
proper care of their health. That is the
main point, even with the sterner sex, and it
is the subject to which. above all others, the
women of to-day should give their attention.
And here, as everywhere, comes in play the
old maxim. can ounce of prevention is
worth a pound Of cure

A Trick in Rifle Shooting.

"No, sir, | do not claim to be an ex-
pert at fancy s%hooting," said Captain
Jack Crawford, in answer to the
A%rounder's inquiry. There is too much
trickery-a sort of sleight- of-hand bust
ness connected with it. do pretend to
be a crack shot, and to excel in accuracy
and rapidity with a Winchester rifle.
The Winchester Arms Company have
offered repeatedly to back me for s., 600
against any man in the world in that
sort Of skill. | have fired twelve shots
in three and a half seconds. But here,
let me cnlighten you as to one of the
neat little tricks used in fancy shoot
ing" Here the scout produced what ap-
peared to be, as he held it at a distance,
a brass she'll tipped with a leaden ball.
"Looks like a bullet, don't it," he said,
with a laugh. "Well, it isn't. It is
simply a papier-mache protuberancc APP
propriately colored to look like lead.
Now, I'll show you what's behind it..
Picking open the end he disclosed to
view %a1quantity of shot-about 200, he
said, were in the shell, with just enough
powder in the butt to do the work.
How are these used? You have
probably witnessed the feat of cracking
glass balls thrown in the air by shooting
at them with Winchester, and while
riding a horse going at a gallop, Well,
that's the kind of a ball cartridge that
is used, and the spectators lock on with
wonder and admiration, supposing that
it is done with a single ball; and that is
something, my boy, that no man in the
world has ever done or will do, because
it is a physical impossibility." --Bufalo
Courier.

Their neighbors' imperfections are like gnats
and they strain them out their own imperfec-
tons are like camels and they swallow them.
But lest some might think they escape the
scrutiny Of the text. l have to tell YOU that
we all come under the divine satire when we
make the questions of time more prominent
than the questions Of eternity. Come now.

question: How shall I pay my debts to man.

trial existence, Time, how small it IS,

insignificant in comparison with the latter
than a gnat is insignificant when compared
with a camel. We dcdged the text. We
said: That doesn't mean me, and that doesn't

we are giving the whole sermon away.
But let US all surrender to the charge,
What an ado about things here, What poor

q minnow were larger than a behemoth, as
though a swallow took wider circuit than ar
, albatrosS, as though a nettle were taller than
a Lebanon cedar, as though a gnat were
greater than a camel, as though a minute
were longer than IL century, as though time
were higher, deeper, broader than eternity:
So the text which flashed with lightning OF

crashing thunders of awful catastrophe TO

form have become a trade mark, and the
good he has lone is illustrated in the follow
ing marvellous instance: Jan. II, 1883,
George c. Osgood & Co, druggists, Lowell,
Mass, wrote: Mr.. Lewis Dennis, No. 1876
Moody ST., desires to recommend st. Jacobs
Oil to any afflicted with rheumatism, and
desires especially to say that Orrin Robinson,
Of Granville, Mass, Il boy Of IL years, came
to his house in the summer Of 1881 walking
upon clutches, bis left leg having been bent
at the knee for over two months and could
not be bent back. He could not walk upon
it. Mr.. Dennis had some st. Jacobs Oil in
the house and gave it to him to rub on his
knee. In six days he had no use for his
erutches and went home well without them,
and he has been well since St. Jacobs Oil cured
him. In July, 1887, inquiry was made Of the
Messrs. Osgood to ascertain the condition Of
the little cripple, which brought the follow
ing response: Lowell, Mass, July 9, ISL
The poor cripple on clutches, Orrin Robin
son, cured by st. Jacobs Oil in ISL, has re-
manned cured. The young man has been
and IS now at work every day at manual
labor. DR.. George c. Osgood, NJ. Dr. No
