CALIFORNIA; Giant Treas.

Andrew caldwell, the special agent of
the general land office, appointed TO make
an investigation as to the location, condi-
ton, number, etc, OF giant SeQuoia
gi9dnted trees in the Stockton and Visalia
land districts in California, has made his
report 70 the commissioner of the general
land otfice> These trees, the special agent
says, grow in detached clusters on the top
or sides Of the Sierra Nevada mountain
range in the districts named, and always at
an elevation of from 6,OOO TO 1000 feet
Access to Them is, as rule, very difficult,
on account OF the extreme roughnes S
Of the mountain passes and canyons The
MarlPosa grove, In the Stockton land dis
trict. is the largest in that vicinity IL
contains about $40 trees of all sizes, aud
seems to be properly guarded from forest
hreS by the stage company, which has the
monopoly OF carrying tourists through that
part to the Yosemite valley. The Tuolumne
and MERGED groves contain eighteen and
forty trees respectively. These groves are
IN danger of mountain fires carelessy set by
sheep herders The Fresno grove at one
time contained between $50 aud 400 tseesL
Some years ago the MADEIRA Fiume and
| Trading Company, the report says, erected
a saw-mill, into whoss NAV the giaut
sequoias are rapidly disappearing, and now
| only about 100 remain. They stand on
| patented laud, and are under the control Of
the MADEIRA company. The largest trees,
however, have been spared, because they
cannot he profitably handled
In the Visalia district there is one
small and one large grove of giant
trees. The latter is virgin forest,
and contains over 1,2O0 giant
| sequolas and many more small trees. Some
| five years ago a cooperative colony located
about forty entries in this neighboruood,
aid is constructing q road to this timber
belt. The colony, it is asserted, numbers
about 600 members, and has recently on
grated the Bellamy idea as its leading at
traction. There is danger, the special agent
believes, that these people, II manifested,

perfect body Of sequoia gigantea in the

the trees in the groves visited, only thoss As

Illustrated by the Work OF Two Paint

Illustrated by the Work OF Two Paint
ers on the Front of Brick Building.
From the Washington Post
There was quite an odd spectacle the
other day in front of large business block
in course of repair. The front wall was of
brick and had been freshly painted, but the
stuck pointing, or outlining of the bricks
with white paint, still remained to be DONE
| On the day in question the two men hired
to do the pointing appeared at the building
somewhat the worse for having been on a
mild spree the night before. Ho Sever, the
| cont actors not being on hand, the men de-
cided to go right to work. Ascending to
| the top OF the building, where the scatfold
was already hanging, they carefully
climbed out and began work.
All went we'll for time, and the outlines
| of the bricks were true, but as the men low
| eted the scaffold to the fourth story, one of
them proposed having little refreshment.
| OF course, no objections were raised by his
companion, and he shortly returned with a
large pail of beer, which was soon emptied,
| aud work was resumed, this time a little
| more joyously than before.
whats the matter with making these
| bricks so small? l say, let's make 'em big
GER" one fellow remarked to the other, and,
| suiting the action to the words, he lined out
a number of bricks the size of paving
blocks. This excited the rivalry of his COM
panion, and in short time the facade of
| the fourth story began to look as if it had
been rented by a dry goods merchant to ad-
| vertise plaid dress goods, large, small and
broken. At the third floor more beer was
consumed by the pair, and the bricks began
to assume fantastic shapes With one grace.
full sweep of the brush they would make a
round, triangular or octagonal brick, as the
| fancy struck them.
1t was about 10 o'clock that the people in
the street began to notice that something
was wrong. The small boys gathered below,
and the remarks they made at the expense
OF the two jolly fellows on the scaffold would
| fill a column.
Come, put in STAR" cried one.
That's it, make an eagle"
Snow paint flag" said another.

The man, however, went on undeunted,

| At IL o'clock the contractor appeared and

come in, or he would have them arrested.
| 1t was none TOO soon. either, for with the
| disappearance of the fifth pail Of beer the
| outlines on the wall had assumed very gro
| tesque shapes, and there were no two bricks
on the whole facade below the top floor Of
| uniform size. The effect was ridiculous
| and the bricks looked as much intoxicated
| as the men who had executed them.
AS the two painters were taken in hand
| by the contractor one of the spectators was
| heard to say by Jovel I'd rather have
lost 500 than to have missed that"

Women as smugglers.

The COMEDY of the Custom House" is
clearly outlined in the Contributors Club
of the January Atlantic. The writer say:
Packed snugly away in that wilderness Of
trunks and boxes are hundreds, nay. thou
sands, of pretty trifes, which it is the pain
full duty of every man, and the pr I'D am
bitlon of every woman to carry in uuscathed
and undetected. The frank, sh .meless
delight which a woman takes in smuggling
has long puzzled the male moralist, WHO,
following the intricacies of the feminine
conscience, can find no satisfactory explana-
ton of this by-ptth. He cannot bring her
to understand why, when she has purchased
and paid for an article. it should not be
hers to rake where she likes, TO deal with as
she pleases; and a dozen discourses on
political economy and the laws of nations
leave her unshaken in this simple and print
tive conception. As the English are said to
argue best in platoons, so a woman a CUES
best in action; and, while her hu band or
brother is proving to her in the clearest
possible fashion that high protective tariff
is blessing to the land, she is assiduously
storing away embro .dered table covers, and
silk stockings, and silver spoons, and tor
toise-shell combs and tiny jeweIed pins, and
bits Of frail Venetian glass wherever her
practiced eye tells her they will best
escape detection. In the abstract, OF course,
dear Edwin is right-he always ls--but she
is far too busy with her task 10 enter into
distractions just now. Whatever mental
subtlety she possesses Is reserved for a much
more important ordeal-that Of g,tting
clear with clean conscience from the
searching questions of the Inspector. when
| am asked if have any presents l always
answer no, said a devout, church-going
woman to me one day, "be. l do not
consider them presents until l give them
away"

Naturally she does not ad it that the

told her not only that she was innocent, but
that she could not, bY any possibility, have
committed a single one of the crimes laid to
her charge. The Countess Of Caithness was,
as you M have anticipated, disciple Of
the late Daniel Douglass Home. Those who
have not gone into spiritualiSm may Jump
to the conclusion that she is demepted

innocence of Mary or the reality of her
visits to Lady Caithness, but never saw a
woman of more charming mind than this

Lady Caithness is the leader OF the rheos-
ophist sect in Paris. She has written books
and started journals to push her creed, and
for some time took Mime. Blavatsky by the
hand. She has some mystical idea about
the reign of womanhood which, she believes,
came eight years ago-a reaso why she
subdates her letters Ammo Domini g. The
late DR.. Anna Kingsford was good deal
ass 1ciated with her. Prof. Sidgwick of

Psychical Research Society gave her, how

and thought her ''eerien

to the extraordinary reese nblance between
their heads and to the penetrating charm
which Mary exercised and which Lady

Almost simultaneously, so quick and
quiet was the action, he opened drawer,
