to do this we must inform ourselves.
This can be done in no way so readi-
Iy, so correctly and so cheaply, as by
reading oar oa0n literature. To those
desiring to act as agents: Write us at
once, giving your full address and
send us the endorsement of the
officers of your Subordinate and
County Alliance, as to character and
fitness. DO not VrGte as OathOut such
endorsement. We will send full infor-
nation to all such applicants with

may have the advantage of the winter
months in your work.
We will mail the book, postpaid, to
any address within these three States
for $2.25, the regular retail price of
the book.
We will send a copy of the book
to any one who will send US a club of
twenty-five new subscribers to the
PROGRESSIVE FARMER and twenty-five

The Carleton Opera Company gave its last
series of performances at Albaugh's last week,
and closed its season amid the regrets of a large
number of opera-goers, to whose entertainment
it has so satisfactorily contributed during its
engagement here. The last week was the best.
"The Queens Lace 1Iandkerchefn was added
to some of its previous renditions, and
given with most happy success The full
strength of the company was called upon last
week, and each member succeeded in leaving
a final impress of merit upon the public. Mr..
Murray as The Premier did his most distinctive
as well as most effective work of the season.
He showed dramatic powers of more than
ordinary rank, which, together with his vocal
skill, gave especial prominence to his rather
difficult personation. Mr.. Carleton as CcrudntcS
also showed to more advantage than usual,
while Mr.. Bigelow as Sdncho was exceedingly
effective in his mrthful earnestness. Miss Alice
Carle has been seen here before as The King,
and her every performance only adds to her
popularity. Miss Clara Lanes Irenc could
scarcely have been improved upon, and Miss
Alice Nincents Queen was every inch the queen
designed by Strauss. Miss Clara Wisdom does
not pretend to sing, but she is a clever actress,
and deserves much credit for all of her work
with the company. The chorus was very strong,
as usual being obliged on one occasion during
the week to sing single number no less than
five times in response to encores.

splendid merchantmen. During his sea life he
had many adventures with pirates and snug
glers, and aided in capturing many law-breaking
craft. Later Capt. Herman was made Governor
of the Island of Navassa, famous for its phos-
phate beds This post of responsibility and dan
ger he filled with signal ability On retiring
from it, about quarter of a century ago, he
returned to Baltimore and began the remarkably
successful theatrical career which he still main
tains. He started Kernan's Baltimore Theatre,
later taking in with him his brother, James l..
Herman. Capt, Herman has been member OF
the Baltimore City Council, and here, as in
every other station he served with distinction
and credit. He has been engaged in many
theatrical enterprises, taking many well-known
companies over the country, and was the last
manager of Alice Oates In 1856 he took hold
of the old Theatre Comique in this city, and has
made of it one of the best and most successful
places of amusement in the country.

laughter, and Barney Pagan introduces his
novel comedy march, 1.-THE Promenade of the
Popiuiays." Professor Barber contributes a
wonderful performance on the bicycle, and Lew

The Oaks of California.

The oaks of the Pacific coast have at
tracted the attention of botanists and low
ers of beautiful trees for many years. No
other country possesses so great variety
of oaks, nor larger and more stately single
specimens. Oak forests constitute the
greater charm of many districts of Califor-
mia. The great Sir Joseph Hooker oak, on
General John BidwelPs Chico ranch, is
considered the finest white oak in the
State, and it has begun to have an even
wider fame ever since it was named by DIR.
G. G. Parry, after Hooker, the English
botanist, during his visit to this coast. Its
boughs cover circle of sixty feet radius.
Another superb oak is at Bonnyview,
Shasta, on the Sacramento river. There is
an oak in almost every foothill village of
California that bids fair to last for centu-
ries the pride of the region. Nothing in
the way of natural scenery is more inn
pressive, on the whole, than the great
park-like expanses, the groups and masses
of grand oaks of several species that shell
ter SO many California homes and glorify
the whole landscape Vicks Magazine.

Smart Snuire.

A good story is told of certain locality
IN Tennessee where no newspapers are
taken and the people "hears all they wants
to know" A former citizen of this local
lty, living in Texas, wrote to some of his
friends at his old home, and among other
items OF news stated that the immigrants
were coming in so fast that they were eat
ing all the corn up. The person to whom
this epistle was addressed did not compre
hend the meaning of the term "immi-
grants, and inquired of all those he met
If they knew what it was, but none could
give him the desired information. 1t was
finally determined to send it to a certain
Squire in the neighborhood who presumed
to know everything. The letter was read
to him, and he was asked, "What are i'm
migrants ?"
The Squire looked wise, crossed his legs,
scratched his head and replied:
Its little animal between possum
and a coon" ."-Fdyetterilie Dispatch.

Removing a Cinder From the Eve,

The proper way to get a cinder out of
the eye is to draw the upper lid down
over the lower, utilizing the lashes of the
lower as broom, that it may sweep the
surface of the former and thus get rid of
the intruder. Or, gently drawing the lid
away from the globe, pass clean camers-
HAIR brush--or fold of a soft silk handker-
ehlet-two or three times between them.
This procedure will, in nearly all cases,
suffice; when it Goes not, the services of a
physician are necessary. 1t is remarka-
BILE fact that very minute body will give
rise to intense pain, and even after it has
been extracted, the sensation remains for
an hour or more. After the intruder is
out, gently bathe the lids every fifteen
minutes in iced water till the feeling sub
sides.-Lddiss' Home Journal

The Girl Who Knows EVERYTHING

Naturally, it isn't you or-your friend. but
you certainly know her, and lust as GER
tainly you dislike her. When YOU dislike
people there is one thing you should al
ways do, and that is, look well at their
faults and make up your mind that you are
not going to fall into them. This girl, who
is quite too general to be pleasant, is the
girl who, having learned something YES.
terday, knows everything She makes
herself obnoxious by Haunting recently
acquired knowledge, concluding always
that the people who are quiet are ignorant.
She has no hesitancy in contradictiug any,
body; she makes an entire luncheon dis
agreeable by giving her opinion ON the
last pronunciations, forgetting that custom
makes many things correct, of which the
dictionary has no mention.
She Is more than certain as to dates: she
can tell you exactly what you ought to do.
and she fails herself to see that she is a
living example of how disagreeable one
person can be. Young men dread her. old
ones have the utmost CONTEMPT for her.
She tosses her head; says she doesn't care
for the opinion of men. Well, she is losing
her womanliness when she feels that wav
Every girl ought to care for the opinion of
men; She has her father to look up to, her
brothers to be an inspiration to, and some
day, please God, she ought to marry one
and make him happy for life. The girl
who knows everything is seldom cultivated
either In mind or manner; she throws out
her bit OF information as a naughty bow
would throw bricks, and the one fired is
always the one just gotten. NV dear, don't
get into the habit of concluding that the
world at large is ignorant. Instead, make
up your mind that it can teach you much.
Intelligence is never lost. Even if abso-
lutte information is not given by the intel
llgent woman, the look ofcultivation shows
in her eyes. Contradiction and Ignorance
are the combination that forms the know

MANDAMUs PROCEEDINGS.
An Action Brought to Test the Constit

An Action Brought to Test the Constitu-
tionality of an Election.
CARSON New July 2Sth.-This morning
Messrs. Woodburn and Coffin appeared be-
fore the Board of State Examiners, and
asked that they advertise the constitutional
amendments voted at the special election
in 1889. The Board declined, and man.
damus proceedings were at once begun in
the Supreme Court.
Messrs. Woodburn and Coffin attacked
the constitutionality of the special election
law passed by the last Legislature. on the
ground that no proper provision was made
for registration provided by the Constitu-
ton. They claimed that if the election
was void it was time to find out now, So
the defects could be remedied at the next
general election.
