under the Government. Messages sent over
the Government lines arc inviolable, and the
mails here as sacred as they are in the
United States"
How about the cost OF construction"
asked.
"The material costs more than II does in the
United States, but labor is not so high. Along
the Vera Cruz Road they have iron telegraph
poles costing from $40 to $l2 apiece. But they
last forever, and are in reality cheaper than
the wooden poles, which cost from 81 TO $3.50 n
piece, and wear out in six years"
DO the Mexieans use the telegraph as much
as we dor"
No. judge not; but they are using it more
and more every year. As TO the efficiency of
the service, their operators are not so fast as
ours, but are moro careful and painstaking.
They do not get as big wages as they do in
America, and they receive from $50 to $50 a
month in Mexican money"

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 120, 16O and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments with in
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annum.
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre.
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre.
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and espe-
ciaiiy adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement win prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy
of accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body Of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaler.quantities and its devotion
to dilisent husbandry.

WHEN THE CENTURY BEGINS.

How many people there are whose ideas are misty as to the time when the century begins aud ends ! The writer has seen at least twice in reputable publications the statement that George Bancroft, who was born in 1900, was born 'sin the first year of the present century, A moments consideration must convince even mind of more than average stupidity that 1900 was the last year of the last century, and not the opening year of the present one. The first century comprised 100 years, and did not end with the year 99; it W, not completed until the last moment of the last day of the year 100. The same blun- der is likely to crop out again and again as the close of the present century draws near, and one of the most frequent inqui- ri, addressed to the omniscient editor by the intelligent core spondent will be as to whether the twentieth century begins wi h 1900 Or 1901. The same difficulty was ex- perienced last year, when not few people thought that they had entered on the last decade of the nineteenth century, and did not hesitate to say so, though as matter of fact that same last decade did not begin until the first of January this year. If people would only think of the analogy be- tween the century and the age of boy CT girl, it would help them to carify their ideas on this subject. As soon as boy passes the age of 10, for example, it is well understood that he enters or his 11th year he Is "going on II as it is sometimes phrased but he is pot II years old until the whole of that year is completed, and then, of course, his 18th year takes it's be- ginning. So the century will enter on its 100 and last year with 1900, and the new century will begin with 1901; its second year will be 19O2, ard so on until the 1OO.t and last Is 2000 The exercise of httle common sense will prevent any one from falling into error on this point.-New Yorl Tribune

THE SONG OF THE GOLDEN HELEN.

Who wins his love shall lose her, Who loses her shall gain, For still the spirit wooa her, A soul without . stain; And memory still purs1es her With longings not in vaini He loses her who gains her, Who watches day by day The dust of time that stains her, The griefs that leave her gray, The flesh that yet enchains her. Whose grace hath passed away. Oh, happier he who gains not The love some seem to gain; The joy that custom stains not Shall still with him remain, The loveliness that wanes not, The love that ne'er can wane. In dreams she grows not older The lands of dream among. Though all the world wax colder, Though all the songs be sung, In dreams doth he behold her Still fair and kind and young.
 The Worlds Desire.

The new India Silks will be on display at the same time. Don't miss this chance. The designs are like a vision of the rose door of Paradise; flowers and leaves and buds and butter fly beauties. We hold up five: White grounds of mildly variant color made richer with sprays of heather-bell overlapping the edge of three leaf clover set on diamond block. White and cream grounds scattered with sprays of heiotrope, cornfower and other designs. Black grounds with twice tIicolored azalee figures strewn at random.
 Polka dots of half dime size blue gray, old rose, heliotrope and other grounds. New purple and leaf browns with stems of mountain laurel for the design.
