The PetaIuma Courier is re-
sponsible for the following story.
Last Friday @. Nilsson exhibited at
this Office a potato vine grown on
the farm Of George Syme, near this
city, bearing upon the vine, instesd
of upon the roots, a number of
well-formed and we'll developed
potatoes. Mr.. Nilsson will have
this vegetable freak photographed
and Mr.. Sysne will make it the
subject of a descriptive and il
lustrated article to q leading agri-
cultural journal of London, En-
gland. This potato had probably
heard, or having eyes bat no
ears may have seen about those
oranges down in Southern Cali
fornia, which grew tuber-f fashion
underground, and had resolved to
make an offset. All things are
possible in the vicinity of Peta-
luna.
An Instructive Christmas Gift
With the near approach of the
most joyous season Of the year
Christmas-it behooves everyone
to think Of some substantial
present to give son, daughter or
friend. For a son, father can
give no better present than a years

lean. Many youth having an Sin
ventive or ingenious turn OF mind

Der, besides its superb engravings
and description Of new engineering
and mechanical works of mag
nitude, has one or more articles on
subjects in experimental science.
It is published by the well-known
firm of Mum & Co., of 361 Broad
way. n. Y, who have been its
publishers for more than forty
years. It's subscription price of
$500 a year, or 800 for four
months, puts it within the reach of
every one.

The woman with wrinkles in the per

the time OF her own need is at hand.
The simplest and perhaps the surest
remedy for wrinkles is to battle the

never 60 to sleep without removing all
the powder from the face and giving Il

lines and rubbing in the opposite d.

However, the best way to get rid OF

The latest hair barg is called tho
Bernhardt bang, and was originated
by n countrywoman o the celebrated
actress. It's effect is entirely novel.
All the heaviness tina false hair usu-
ally brings to the fac is banished by
the Bernhardt which mas a light part
in the middle OF the brow, where a
light fluff falls nearly to the eye on
each side and forms a softly curled
wave OF hair, but waved with the
old pervading air OF li.htness. By the
way, this face artist declared that
Bernhardt is the grsatest Judge OF
powder OF any woman in the world.
She would test the quality of tho
powder by taking a pinch OF the cos
mceic between her fin gers, crushing it
to find out its quality pinch by pinch.
And while on the subject of powders,
it is Just as well to state that powder
puffs are now being made OF enor-
nous size, as large as the top OF an
ordinary sugar basin the handle be,
ing modelled after the bust OF some
celebrated person. sometimes the
handle unscrews and contains in its
hidden space either a supply OF
powder or eyebrow pencils and other
for the beauty's toilet.
These pufs are most convenient,
for travel and for summer

must not be neglec.ed.-Pittsburg
