gentleman from Newcastle, ! Placer county,
states that there are special inducements in that
town for good hotel man. There is one newly.
built and well-managed hotel in the place, but
for some time past it has been crowded 10 such
an extent that it has been frequently found nec-
es ary to send messenger to the depot upon
the arrival of the night express train, to advise
those desirous OF stopping that it was impossi-
sible to secure rooms in town. 1t is stated that
as many as ten people on Il single train have i'll

Caught the Last Boat.

About a year ago an old Chinaman, who had
been peddling vegetables in this city for many
years, announced to his patrons that he was
going back to China to look after his wife, as he
had not seen her for fifteen years. He said he
had made some money, and he would go back
and see that she was all right and then return
10 this country. A few days ago one of his
patrons remarked to his family that he did not
think they would ever see old All Soon again,
as he had probably got shut out by the Restric-
ton Act Last evening, however. they had a
genuine surprise. The bell rang, and when the
door was opened there stood All Soon, clad in
his best clothes, and his faced wreathed with
smiles. The astonished citizen exclaimed
" Why, Soon, thought you had been shut out
by the Restriction Actl' The Celestial grinned
all over as he replied: "N No me eatchee last

HOW GRASSES SPREAD.

Information Furnished by Pref W. j.
Real, OF Michigan Agricultural College.
Some grasses have root-stocks. i. e..
true stems which run on the surface
or beneath the surface of the ground.
These take root at the joint and also
send up. or may send up. branch
from each joint. The rOOt-stOcks, if
left without obstruction. may extend
several feet in one season each way
from the parent plant Plants of this
sort are June grass. red-top. Bermuda
grass and Quack grass They make
an even matted growth. and do not
grow in stools or lunches On the
contrary. most grasses are incapable
by root-stocks. They will grow in
tufts, stools or punches unless sown
thickly SO the plants from each seed
touch each other. Such grasses are
orchard grass, timothy, meadow
grass, tall-oat grass and meadow fox

lists above also spread by seeding. if
not cut too soon. l must except Ber-
muda grass and Quack grass as a gen.

Grass seeds are small and often sur

This chat buoys up the seed when ex-
posed to the wind or water 1t also
often holds the whole to the Aeeces Of
sheep, or hair of other animals. and is
thus carried from place to place. The
chat of some grasses have awns. which
are straight when wet. and twisted
and bent when dry. The alterations
of drying and wetting cause the awns
to twist and untwist, and thus move
the seeds about more or less In this
way the seeds work under Jumps Of
earth or into cracks where the next
rain covers them with softened earth.
Many such seeds arc capable Of boring
their way for an inch or moro into

AN ELEPHANT RIDE.

Ex.Mayor Harrison, OF Chicago. Has
Delightful Experience.
On our second day. being provided
with permit from his Highness, we
visited amber" the old city. now
deserted. 1t lies in a rocky gorge. on
a narrow valley. The mountains
around are crowded by forts and cas-
ties az dizzy and picturesque as any
on the Rhine. Lofty walls climb the
spurs of the mountains and the old
castle sits superbly on the crest Of
high hill overlooking beautiful little
lake of clear water. on the shores OF
which were several crocodiles bask-
ing in the hot sun. Our road lay
through a wilderness of kiosk memoir

supported by the most delicate pillars
and prettily carved. Then we came

acres, in the center of which is a large

reached the foot of the gorge leading
to the old city.
Here we found one of the Rajah's
huge elephants, of which he has
eighty, which was to carry US over the
steep pass. His face was painted in

A friend of the writer. for many

shivering with the cold. and found all
the clothes slipping from the bed. He
replaced them and fell asleep. In an
hour he awoke again for the same rea-

again went to sleep. In another hour
he awoke to find himself absolutely
without any covering. though the bed
stood near the open window. A thief
had come into the house, crept under
his bed, pulled off all the clothing
gradually and carefully. as bedclothes

thief he could spring from the bed
upon the back of the intruder thus
bent over, he could hold him down and
capture him. So, after removing the
bedding with the utmost care, he
sprang upon the thief and succeeded
in clasping him about the waist He
then found. TO his disgust, that the
body of the Chinaman was oiled. and
with all his strength he could no: pre-
vent him from turning about in his
arms. Thinking to improve matters.
he kept one arm about the waist of the
thief and reached up with the other to
seize him by the cue. but he drew it
away again at orce. bleeding in half .

slipped from the single arm that sur
rounded him. and, empty-handed.
