ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres 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 $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, 80, 120, $50 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 nve equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum
making payr4ents extending over O period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SIC per acre
end good agricultural land at $50 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 es-
pecialIy adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than nom $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement VIII prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
The purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and1for 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
fla, sNf,o
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

What is ScrofuIa

Iti that impurity in the blood, which, accurnu-
lating in the glands of the neck, produces un-
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose often
causing blindness deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, caneerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to humors"
1t is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features of both Being the most ancient,
1t Is the most general of all diseases or affections
for very few persons are entirely free from 1t.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparila is unequalled, and some of the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. If you
suffer from scrofula in any of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparila a trial.

CATULLUS MAGEE AND THE MUSI-
CAL TREE.

" There was a small boy named Cltullus Ma
gee,
Whose father lived under a musical tree
That played, when Catullus was happy and
good,
Most beautiful airs at the edge of the wood
Whenever Catullus was naughty and bad
The airs of the tree were both doleful and
sad
To learn his sons conduct old Magee
HAD only to list to the musical tree.
And they missed from the cupboard patty
OF lowl,
The father would play, with a movement
most free,
A pirchen tattoo on Catullus Magee
" If the, tree made moan at the noon of the
day,
Itmeant that Catullus from school was away,
And without further question, when home
ward he came,
He'd find his ana.o ony more than ahame.
The tlte played sad airs at the edge of the
wood.
AwaN in the odorous breezes of June,
The musical branches were all out of tune.
"Said Mr.. Magee: Hence no musical tree
Shall make me believe what I can't plainly
see.
Nomore sign or symbol shall &C vern my acts;
If whip you again, it shall be but on facts
az have whipped you, though good, when the
music was sad.'
Yes, lndC ell, sir, you have coinciCe1 4 the lad.

George Washington's Rules Of Civility'
Nav York Tribune.

Mr.. Moncure d. Conway has taken mueh
trouble in editing George Nashlngton's
Rules of Civility." and in tracing them TO
their sources and restoring them. Ile
book Is neatly printed by the United states
Book Company. Mr.. Conway thinks II
clear that WashingtOn's Rules OF Clvliity
were taken from didactic pamphlet pre-
pared by certain French Jesuits at Pout-a-
Mousson carly n the seventeenth century.
Tire editor gives all of the evidence on TINS
question in long and elaborate pre-
face, and the remainder OF the volume
is devoted to the reproduction oil the
rules themselves, with the French orgl-
mails. and new translation. But aS WASH
1ngton knew no French nc could not nave
rendered the original into English hlmSe.I.
MIR. Conway believes that be had access 70
IN early English translation, and the
strongest evidence Of this is that wash
lnrtou's rules tas copied with his own
bandl contain several maxlms found IN the
old English translation which donot appear
in the French original, all of which has
chiefly ANTIQUARIAN interest. AS 70
the rules themselves they are very
GOOD examples OF the educational
theories of the period in which Shey
were written, and they help 20 nlustIeJe
incidentally the manners Tor the Wanl OF
mauners) Of the same period. Some OF the
inhibitions and directions must have
puzzled Young George Washington. not q
few of the personal habits referred TO
being even then such as would hardly, nave
been tolerated by the toughest back
woodsman. Mr.. Conway thinks that WASH
inrton's character may have been largely
formed upon these rules. The vasaries OF
Thought are unaccoUntable. vet IL may
occur to some that before he could THINK
thus Mr.. Conway must. have formed,
somewhat singular conception OF the
Father OF his Country.
