A CALIFORNIA SENSATION.
[Petaluma Courier ]

Itisreported thatthe sales softhe"California of
Remedy" Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla, have
grown within few months till they are now
really sensational. The way the fame of this
production has spread is simply marvellous.
Six months ago it waE unknown. To-day it
is all over the country. 1t is authoritatfvely
stated that they have been actually giving it
away in San Francisco to people afflicted with
dyspepsia, sick headaches, indigestion and
liver troubles, not to be paid for unless it
cured. Such practical tests are so startlingly
convincing as to be almost sensational 1t is
stated that two of the active principles of the
new remedy belong to the vegetable kingdom
OF California and are so well known to US all
under common names that it would surprise
us If told them. But we are not surprised at
anything Californian, and this recent discoY-
cry of the new medicinal virtues of its vegetG-
ble kingdom is but another instance of the
astonishing possibilities Of a soil and climate
like ours.

JOHN 1. BLAIR, the New Jersey rail
road king, who recently testified in a
legal proceeding that he was worth
from $4O,OOO,OOO to $6O,OOO,OOO, says
that he laid the foundation of his for
tune by trapping when boy. 1t was
in 1909, while living on the homestead
farm near Blairstown, that the spirit
of money getting took possession of
him, and lhe began trapping for rabbits.
He caught them by the dozen. The
local market being dull, he walked to
Easton, Penn, twenty mfies away,
and after dickering with the various
merchants, sold a lot of skins for 81.
This was the first money he ever
owned, and Mr.. Blair declares that he
then felt richer than he ever has since,
despite his wealth.

MEDICAL TERMS.
How They are Confused by the
Druggists.

1t is we'll known fact that the pre-
scriptions of physicians, as a general
rule, are not Ineligible to the public at
large, and the general impression pre-
walls that physicians spend most OF their
time in concocting queer names with
which to puzzle their patients. 1t would
perhaps startle some of these learned
men if they knew how their prescriptions
were translated by the druggists. A
gentleman recently from San Francisco
happened to get glimpse at druggists
entry book there, and was somewhat
amused at finding the following items
81 bot something like happy sassa.
fras for unclean blood" This
meant bottle joys Sarsaparilla. 81

hair, real French" "a SC. sucker for a
billy" puzzled the reader for time, and
in answer to his inquiry the druggist OK.
planned that young goats mother had
died and its foster parents intended to
feed it from the bottle. Such entries as
these arc enough to discourage q

Salt Lake Booming.

H. ]. Woollacott, the liquor merchant
of Los Angeles, is great man to have q
quiet little speculation in real estate 60
ing on, and he always makes money out
of these flyers. Years ago he purchased
q piece of property in Salt Lake for a
song, and he has let it lie there all this
time. He had thought if the time ever
came when it would sell for 81 900 be
would let it go. Last week he got tel
egram from Salt Lake agent asking
what the lot could be had for. Woolla-
colt knew matters were going at rather
lively gait there, but had no definite
knowledge as to values, so he thought
he would put a big price on the lot and
await developments that would give him
q pointer. He wired $12, 200 as the price
that would take the property, thinking
there was not pole in the City of the
Saints long enough to knock down that
persimmon. He cent the dispatch and
got nicely ready to await developments,
when in an hour back came the answer :
"Send on your deeds, there is 81 900 de-
post upon your lot" How long will it
be before just such surprises will be
overtaking all the property holders in
Los Angeles? Not very long!

Directory-Caution.

Frequent complaints are heard about
the disreputable methods of some So
called directory agents. Cases are cited
where orders have been tempered with
and amounts raised after the order
had been taken. Frequently cash in ad-
vance has been demanded. No reputable
firm will resort to such methods. 1t is
time to give warning to the public to see
that you are ordering from responsible,
reliable house like that Of R. l.. Polk &
Co. They published the only California
State directory ever issued in 1888. and
have now in preparation their next book
for 1890. They employ only carefully
trained agents, and, having abundant
means and ample experience, produce q
work that is credit to the State and one
OF great value to business men.

amount of acreage will be lost to the
next seasons crop in this way. The
expectation of this seasons crop still
continues, although the product is by this
time nearly cleaned up. One firm in
this city recently entered into a contract
to supply a San Francisco house with
Is, 900 bags. These have been shipped
north by way of Redondo and San Pedro,
advantage being taken of the very low
rates now prevailing on the Coast line.
A report recently made by Newmark
& Edwards to the San Francisco Produce
Exchange, giving statement OF the
grain on hand in this county December
LIST, makes the total for barley 1880
tons, and for wheat 1880 tons. The
smodnt of barley still on hand in Orange
county is estimated at 800 tons.
1t is stated that a great many acres in
the San Jacinto valley which were last
year devoted to barley will be planted to
wheat during the coming season.

The Matter VIII Co On.

The recent action of the County Board
OF Horticulture in resembling the resolu.
ton appointing Messrs. @. NJ. Heintz, A.
F. Kercheval and Hiram Hamilton as
committee to solicit signatures to the Pc
tition of the orange growers to Congress,
asking for an increase of import duties
on oranges and lemons, in no way effects
that movement. The idea of having the
tariff on California oranges and lemons
increased originated with the Rural Cali
fornian, its former editor introducing a
resolution, which was passed, to that
effect, at the meeting of the State Fruit
Growers Society held at National City.
The petitions, which are now ready for
distribution, and in some cases are
already being circulated for signatures,
can be had at the Office of the Rural,
room AZ, Lafranco block, 11S North Main
street. There is no question but what if
the ange-growers will take hold OF this
matter and push it, the desired ;egisla-
ton can be secured. The Rsra1 Cali

An AneCdOte of Wellington.

A correspondent of the London
 Athen@um says: The Duke of
 Wellington at one period of his life
 was rather fond of telling certain
 pig-sticking story, and persons who
 knew of this weakness used to lead
 the conversation so that the great
 man might have an opportunity of
 relating his favorite anecdote.
 But at length he became suspicious,
 and any allusion to the subject
 made him extremely angry. About
 this time-nearly sixty years ago the Duke was staying at Belvoir.
 One of the visitors at the castle
 had meyer heard anything about the pig-sticking adventure, and was easy persuaded that the Duke would be pleased if he were asked to tell his famous story. Accordingly one morning after breakfast in the long gallery, when seated not far from the Duke, the gentleman ventured to tell his Grace how much he should like to hear some of his ex- periences of Indian sport. At first the Duke was inclined to be serious ly offended, but, looking round and discovering from the faces of the company that the inquirer had been prompted, and that the request was made in perfect good faith, he silent ly got up, and, drawing his arm through the gentlemen's, said: "II shall be delighted to tell you all you want to know, but let us come to the end of the gallery, where we can talk quietly" A pleasant half hours conversation ensued, and it was not uutil some hours later that the intended victim learned what a he had achieved over the practical jokers, and what a quiet rebuke had been administered to them.

The Hild Man of Lookout MOun-
 tain.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March s.
 Walker County, Ga, in the vicinity
 of Chattanooga, and as far south as Pond Sprngs, is all torn up over the reappearance of the celebrated wild man of Lookout. He was seen few day since, and if descriptions are correct, he is a most remarkable being. His hair and beard are de- scribed as flowing to the waist and his finger and toe nails are long, giving the hands and feet the sem blance of claws. He wears trunk of bear skin, with a bear-skin robe thrown over his shoulders. He carries an ugly bludgeon and per sistently avoids coming in contract with anybody. The timid people of the neighborhood are greatly alarmed, and there is little travelling about at night, although he is gen erally believed to be harmless. This strange creature has been haunting caves and Businesses of Lookout Mountain and elevations in lower East Tennessee for years, and noth- ing is known of his identity. He was never known to do anybody any harm and there has been no occasion for his arrest, so he has been allowed to pursue his strange lunacy unmolested. He is said now to occupy cave near Pond Spring, Ga, but heretofore, when lis place of temporary abode has been dis covered, he has disappeared, to be. seen at other points at a consider able distance away.-Globe Demo- crat. :.
