Amusement for the Baby.

Mr.. Waldrige surprised his baby Sun
day night. He didn't intend to surprise
it; he intended to amuse. He had been
to church. and on reaching home drew
his revolver from his pocket to put it
away. Baby reached for the weapon.
II baby wanted it, baby must have it, 50
papa took out the cartridges every one
Of them-and then to show baby how to
operate the toy. he pulled the trigger.
That was where the baby was surprised!
It would surprise any baby to see its

Sunday night with an unloaded revolver,

ing its vocation and digesting hard wood

Radical English Fashion. DON'T Go.

The recent refusal to sanction with
the customary prompt enthusiasm sew
eral of the most radical changes in the
regime that have been made Of late years
by London swells has had a decidedly
discomiting effect upon our English
cousins. Their confidence of leadership
has received naturally severe shock in
consequence. From all accounts the
London swell mob is passing through a
period Of experimentation. AS result
mems fashions abroad have not been SO
unsettled in fifty years.
The heavy swells continue cropping
aimlessly after the elusive innovation
For their independence at this time,
therefore, Americans have cause for self
ongratulation-the more particularly
so on account of the very divergent
character of some of the foreign ultra
speculations. Advanced copies of the
recent London fads in coats and top
coats, had they been tried suddenly on
the New York public, would have Great

such an abnormal quantity of milk.

+. Pack to patrons and creamerymen.

Many farm women have no idea of the
work they would save themselves by
getting a creamer instead of washing
dozens of milk pans in the old fashioned
way.
On valuable land no dairyman can
any longer afford to keep COW whose
milk will not produce 4 per cent. in but

In counties where there are the most
silos the most prosperous dairy farmers
are always found.
A breed of Holstein butter cows is now
being developed by individuals who
fancy these handsome cattle, OF course,
in time anybody can do anything.
Early dent corn, planted thick one
way, with the rows far apart enough to
pillow between the other way.i is an excel
lent fodder feed for dairy cows. When
the corn is in glaze cut the stalks and
cure them in shock Then bind them in
bundles and put away for winter feed.
In the cold weather cut the stalks with a
power feed cutter and give them to your
cows. 1t will furnish an admirable va

Care of EIectricaI Apnar.trs

The superintendent of an electric light
station gives Il strange instance of The
stopping Of q meter. and the cause OF the
trouble" On examining the meter,
which was Of 2S-light capacity, after a
lapse of Il month in order to determine
the quantity of current to be charged for,
he found that the consumer III the
pressure of business, had placed a num-
Der OF small boxes around the meter,
coneealing it from view As it was de-
sirable not to disturb them, it was sug-
gested and agreed to that the meter be
allowed to run another month. At the
end of the second month, the coast being
clear, the meter was examined, and it
was found that it recorded only five hours
since the time of the last examination
This looked suspicious, but there was no
ground to believe that the meter had
been tampered with. y very close in
spection was made, and revealed the
fact that spider had spun in its web
around the fans so that they could not
rotate under the action of the current It
appears that the screw which held the
cover TO the top of the instrument had not
been put in, and that tie spider had taken
advantage OF the opening and established
himself IN the cosy quarters. The moral
OF the story is that station superintend-
ents as well as flies should beware of

HIS SCARF-PIN BARKER.

1t was large dogs head made of oxi-
died silver. Its eyes We're tiny diamonds
and its mouth red enamel. While the
wearer's friends We're looking at the pin
and commenting upon it, the red mouth
OF the silver dog opened and succession
of sharp barks issued therefrom.
The effect was startling at first, but as
the barking continued several members
of the club pressed about the owner of
the pin, curious to examine ''the new
trick" The wearer of the decoration.
after enjoying the sensation that he had
created for awhile, unbuttoned his waist
coat and disclosed long rubber tube at
tached to the pin on the under side of the
scarf.
The tube extended down into one of
the pockets of the gentleman's trousers,
terminating in q rubber bulb. BY re-
peatcdly piching the bulb the wearer of
the pin was able to cause the sounds that
issued from the dogs mouth. Thus does
the Yankee mind triumph again.

A RAREOPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
10 $50 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 rom $40 TO $40 per acre, in subdivisions
OF 10, so, l2o, l6o and32o acres.
The terms upon which these Ian are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, rs 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 n II
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
interest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum
making payments extending over period of
eight years. intending purchasers are as
sufed that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO 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 es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
S1O0 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove TO
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre. and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre. on terms
of payment which should make the disposi-
ton OF these lands to actual settlers q result
easy Of Accomplishment.
The primary object Of the purchase of this
body ofland was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its settle
ment in smaller quantities and its devotion to
diligent husbandry.
