CALIFORNIA AND KANSAS,
cone Dollar for Land and Ninety-Nine
for Climate"


for Climate"
From the Tulare Register.
That is what recently-arrived Kansas
man said of the price of land in Califor-
MIA, and he said it with a sheer. He was
one of the .thoughtless throng which do
not learn until the second lung is attacked
1t is the quality of climate, not the quality
of land, which determines land values. In
a given climate, rich land is worth more
than poor land, but the influence of eli
mate OF the value of land is so overwhelm-
ing that the difference in value between
rich and poor land in the same climate
becomes insignificant by comparison. Some
of the richest soil on earth is covered by
the eternal ice Of the frigid zones, and
still more of it is exposed to the deadly
breath of the torrid belt
1t is a matter of frequent complaint by
Western men seeking farming land in
California that while the best land on the
Atlantic side is valuedAt $50 per acre as a
maximum, on the PaciN slope it is held
at 500. Let us suppose case: A home
seeker has bought 160 acres in Kansas at
$50 per acre. He can raise on ii only
wheat and corn. To market his crop to
the best advantage, he raises hogs. He
can raise very little fruit, even in restricted
variety, and dairy products and poultry
with extreme difficulty. Each successive
winter of seven long months threatens
death by freezing and starvation to his
stock, for which the entire preceding short
summers crop is too frequently inadequate.
His winter work is long agony of suffer
ing from chilling blasts, and his children
attend school at the risk of losing their
feet, and not infrequently their lives, by
frost
Suddenly a miracle is wrought. For
some unexplained reason, Jupiter has set
off forty-acre patch in one corner of the
corn field, and has covered it with Calitor-
MIA atmosphere and its corresponding eli
mate. The consequences are amazing
That forty-acre patch seems to be not in
another part ofour country but on another
planet The farmer h9dsnyited number
of his neighbors to partsge CT Christmas
dinner with his family. Theeompany had
reached the farmhouse through fierce,
driving and binding storm of snow and
sleet. The raging storm without spread
gloom within. On Jupiter's favorite spot,
which the farmer no called his california
lot" was an old abandoned cottage which
formerly served to shelter the temporarily
employed help of the farm, but which had
for some years past stood dismantled ruin
without single window or door in it. To
this airy relic of a former house was inn
medlately transferred all the parapher-

IN GOD WE TRUST"
How This Motto Came to be Stamped on
United States Coins.


United States Coins.
The motto sin God We Trust" which
is now stamped on all gold and silver coins
of United States money, was suggested by
an honest, God-fearing old farmer of the
State of Maryland, This conscientious
Christian thought that our national coin
should indicate the Christian character of
our nation, and by introducing motto
upon our coins expressed a national reli-
ance upon divine supporting governmental
affairs. In 1861, when Salmon F. Chase
was Secretary Of the Treasury, he wrote
him and suggested that, as we claimed to
be a Christian people, we should make
suitable recognition of that fact on our
coinage. The letter was referred to the
Director of the Mint, James Pollock,
Puritanic Christian, of Pennsylvania In
Mr.. Pollocks report for 1862 he dis
cussed the question of a recognition Of the
sovereignty Of God and our trust in Him
on our coins. The proposition to intro
duce motto upon our coins was favorably
considered by Mr.. Chase, and in the report
he said he did not doubt. but believed.
that it would meet with an approval by an
intelligent public sentiment. But Con-
gress gave no attention to the suggestion,
and in his next annual report he again re-
ferred to the subject, this time in firm
theological argument, AID said:
'The motto suggested, God Our Trust
is taken from our national hymn, The Star
Spangled Banner The sentiment is ia
miliar to every citizen of our country; it
has thrilled the hearts and fallen in song
from the lips Of millions of American free
men. The time is propitious; It's an hour
of national peril and danger; an hour
when mans strength is weakness, when
our strength and salvation must be of God.
Let us reverently acknowledge His SOW
ereignty, and let our coinage declare our
trust in God"
A 2-cent bronze piece was authorized to
be coined by Congress the following year,
April %, 1864, and upon this was first
stamped the motto, "In God We Trust"
In his report of that year he expressed
his approval of the Act, and strongly
urged that the recognition of trust be ex-
tended to the gold and silver coins of the
United States. By the fifth section of the
Act of Congress of March 8, 1865, the
Director of the Mint, with the approval
of the Secretary Of the Treasury, was au-
thorized to place ,on all the gold and
silver coins of the United States, suscep-
tible of such additions, thereafter to be
issued, the motto, "In God We Trust

THE MILLER OF DEE.

There dwelt miller hale and bold
Beside the River Dee:
de worked and sang from morn till night
No lark more blilhe than ne;
And this the burden of his song
Forever used TO be:
'' envy no one no, not
And no one envies me
g Thou'r TT wrong, my FRIEND" said old King Hal.
= AS wrong as wrong can be:
For could my heart be light as thine
I'd gladly change with thee.
and tell me now what makes thee sing
With voice so loud and free
While am SAL though l am King
Beside the River Dee"
The miller smiled and dotted his cap.
g earn my bread" quoth he:
81 howe my wife, love my friend,
love my children three
owe no man l cannot pay
l thank the River Dee
That turns the mill that grinds the corn
To feed my babes and me-"
Good friend" said Hal, and sighed the while,
Farewell thee, happy be;
But say no more, if thou DIST be true
That no one envies thee,
Thy mealy cap is worth my crown,
Thy mill my kingdom fee;
Such men as thou are England Toast,
o, miller OF the Dee"

How 'Hysteria Nav be Cured.

A patient in one of the. hospitals here
had a habit of going into commissions
every time the house physician stepped
into her ward. That grew decidedly mo-
notonous after a while, and one day, while
in one of her attacks and seemingly I'M
conscious, he told her the next time she
had one he would teach her better"
But she did not believe him, and the fol-
lowing day showed up as usual He had
her taken into bathroom and laid on a
table. Arranging a rubber sheet under her
head, he attached one end of small rub
Der hose to faucet, and to the other
the small tube of a syringe. After
playing small stream of water against
her face for few minutes, her {" tantrum +"
suddenly ceased and she begged the ply
stefan to shut off the water. But he was
in no hurry to do so, and kept it up until
the patient was thoroughly alarmed He
then informed her that the next attack she
had he proposed to drown her in the bath
tub. Evidently she believed that hewould
make his threat good, and she never had
another attack-so she informed him fif-
teen years afterward.-Boston Herald.

A SONG.

Love, let us Irvine moonbeams and music,
And hide our twin hearts in a dream.
Whittier fairies call softly from grOttos
Cleft by an enchanted stream.
For there in a lotus lies Sorrow,
Dreams silk netted veil on her eyes
How her smile stirs the fragrance to music
AS notes from the bulbul rise
o let us like her, too in gold-downs
OF blossoms seek sweetest repose-
Love, you in a silver-white lily,
But in blood-red rose.
And the poppy.clad winds shall rock us,
While ripples of song DER US sweep,
But the rose with her eye slyly open,
The white lily's watch viii keep.
