A Sewing Machine Mans Talk.

There has been wonderful change
in the business methods of sewing
machine dealers within the past dec
ade, and that the change is for the
better goes almost without the saying.
There was time when the sewing
machine agent and the lightning rod
man were looked upon as land pirates
and their approach regarded with
genuine dread, The only way to get
rad OF the sewing machine agent OF
aud lang syne was to give him an
order The majority of agents worked
on commission, and they must sell or
starve, Nowadays. the business is
conducted much upon tho same plan
as that of the wholesale grocer or dry
goods dealer. Regular { aveling men
are employed, paid salary and OK
penses. and they soil machines 10
those who want them, and not to those
who do not, but purchase to get rid OF
bore. aSome of the best commercial
men in the country are now engaged
in the sewing-machine business, and
the dignity added by the adoption of
business-like methods is rapidly put
ting that branch of trade in the front
rank as desirable occupation. st

SENATOR SYRwART is home again
from the national capital and b s
hearty reception Is proof that his
constituents appreciate his Efforts in
their behalf His services have been
such as to win the hearty appreciation
Of nine owners ON the Pacific Coast.
Untiring and jealous, with practical
knowledge OF the important subject,
he has carried On the fight for years.
II success has no, crowned his efforts,
the blame must fall on "a class whose
sympathies are limited TO the proauc.
tiOn OF wooden and breadsiufs. A
prominent mine owner now suggests a
new remedy, worthy the attention of
the Senator from the Silver State. He
would have the Government accept
the bullion product of all mines at the
Minis aud pay for it in coin, thereby
saving the heavy loss by discount in
epen market. This would put silver
mines ON paying basis, and lead to
she empiOyment of many men, thereby
beBYfting the country at large. Tho
suggestion Is q good one, and some
step should be taken to carry IL into

AN OPEN QUESTION.
Is H rrison q Descendant of Poca.
hontas?

1t is popularity believed that Presi-
dent Harrison is descended from
Pocahontas and from the Parlia-
mentary soldier aud regicide General
Thomas Harrison who was executed
in 1860.
Pocahontas, daughter Of Powhatan,
manifested a friendiness for the early
white settlers of Virginia when she
was bnt girl. The story of how she
saved the life of Captain John Smith,
who had been captured and con-
demned to death by her father-how
she, on several occasic-.is made known
to the settlers their danger when
about to be attacked-is well known
to all acquainted with the early his
tory OF America. Her subsequent
marriage with John Role, an Eng
lishman-her removal TO- England
where son was born, from whom
numerous wealthy families OF Virginia
claim descept---is the basis OF the
opinion that President Harrison is o.le
OF her descendants.
Whether this be true or mot 1t is,
however, well known that President
Harrison il descendants OF noted
family, distinguished alike i'm peace
and war. The name OF Harrison is
already indelibsy written upon the
pages of American history, for Gen
eral VIM. Henry Harrison-the ninth
President of the United States was
the grandfather of Gen. Ben. Harrison.
The election of another member Of
the Harrison family is bat another
proof Of the prevailing disposition of
the public to return to healthy adj
ministration of public affairs so
characteristic of the early years Of
government. A similar desire has
been manifested for revival of early
manners and customs in many various
ways, OF which mention in particular
can be made of the prevailing demand
tor those old time preparations which
were so successfully employ ed in the
prevention and cure Of the ills and
ailments which frequented the early
log-cabin homes.
After much inquiry and research a
noted manufacturer has procured the
original methods used in their prepara-
ton and again under the name OF
Warmers Log Cabin Remedies, the
public is possessed OF those we'll
known preparations for the cure of
coughs, colds, consumption in its early
stages, blood disorders, catarrh, dys-
pepsia, debility, and other common
disorders.
Notwithstanding the large amount
Of time, attention and expense which
the manufacture Of Manners safe
Cure demands--its well-k newn repu-
sati0n as the only remedy Tor the pre-
vention and cure of kidney diseases
being world wide-the manufacturer
il resolved to push the merit of War
ner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla to the
front because of its splendid blood
purifying properties and great value
as household remedy and spring
time syHtem renovator.
Pocahontas, during her lifelong
friendship for the white settlers OF
Virginia, besides her many acts Of
kindness, is said TO have contributed
much valuable information to the log
cabin home concerning the successful
methods employed by the Indians in
the treatment Of disease and it mat
tiers little whether the alleged relation
ship between herself and the Presi,
dent be true or not for the name Of
Pocahontas il already immortal.

Gladys de Montmorency reclined on

boudoir the furnishing of which must
have cost good deal of money.
There was a far-away look in her

She was thinking of ONE who was

and of the excellent chewing-gum he
had given her.
She Was summoned to the library,
where her father. the opuent banker,
stroked her siken hair aad said;
"Gladys, the Count has asked for

There was planted by Mr.. J. R. wise, five
years before the great freeze, a number of
Avocado pear seed. Three of these 1T least,
attained height of twenty teet and were
bearing fruit when the extreme cold OF that
exceptional winter killed them. From the
roots of three of these trees have since
sprung up young ones, which are now some
ten or twelve feet in height. The special
poirt in the matter is, however, this: Two
of them escaped entirely the frosts of last
winter. showing no trace whatever of being
frost-bitten on their foliage-the other was
only slightly singed-a few of the leaves only
being affected The latter was without pro-
lection; the former, one of them at least,
stood under live oak, and the other among
the tree of the nursery. This special allu-
sion to the suviva and growth of these trees,
Is because they are deemed especially tropi-
cal in their nature, and liable to be seriously
affected even by light frosts. A hundred
miles south of this point, they were so
badly frozen that they dropped all their
leaves Oakland Sun.
