CALIFORNIA,
The Country Of Delightful Winters.

California is the most attractive and de-
lightful section of the United States, if not
of the world, and its many beautiful resorts
will be crowded with the best families OF
the East during the entire winter. 1t offers
to the investor the best open opportunity
for safe and large returns from its fruit
lands. 1t offers the kindest climate in the
world to the feeble and debilitated; and it is
reached in the most comfortable manner
over the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad. Pullman vestibule sleeping cars
leave Chicago by this line every day in the
year and go without change or transfer
through to San Francisco, Los Angeles and
San Diego This is feature not offered by
any other line. Write to Charles Z. Apple

A Botanical Museum.

Dr. Rothrock, professor of botany at the University of Pennsylvania, is pre- pairing for the establishment ill his de- partment of museum, which promises to be of unusual industrial importance Few steps that the institution has taken lately tend to bring it into as close con tact with the manufacturing interests of the country as this seems likely to do. The new collection, to be called the mu- scum of economic botany, will consist of specimens of all kinds of woods, vege- table fibers, grains and drugs, arranged so as to illustrate the processes of manu- fracture from the raw product and the various uses to which each material may be put.-New Orleans Picayune.

Bringing Ice to Town.

Seven hundred thousand tons of ice are stacked on the shores of Lake Champlain and Lake George. The ice harvesters had expected to ship most of this by boat to the city storehouses and depots at the opening of navigation. The regular ice barges will not lock through the Cham plain canal, so here is the difficulty. A fair average of r tons per car would re- quire 1j0 trains of 40 cars each, and if six such trains could be loaded and sent per day, which, with the single track road, is doubtful, it would require 125 days of steady work.
 On the other hand, if water transpor- tation is chosen on account of lower rates, at 150 tons per canal boat, it would require $500 canal boats to bring it to tide water. Last year, which was ex- ceptionally good for boating, only 2,6OO boats were cleared from the Whitehall office south.
 The boatmen propose to take advantage of the necessities of shippers, and will largely increase their rates. They are demanding $ per day for the use of theil boats.
 Many of the ice companies have brought their barges up the Hudson and propose to transfer the ice from the canal boats to the barges, many of which hold 1 1,2O0 tons, thus saving some time in the use of the canal boats, but causing con siderable loss of ice through waste in handling so many times.
 It is estimated that Essex county is some $j00, ,OOO wealthier through the ice bonanza this winter.-New York Press

Young Women Who roos the Horn.


 If any one cares to wander out in the direction of Arsenal avenue, Indian apolis, any dark or mOonlit Thursday night they will hear the soft notes of cOrnet and the loud blasts of tuba. It is the practicing chorus of ten eminent and talented local young ladies, who have formed an orchestra for their own amusement and are bound to win under the leadership of one of the city's pro- fessors. It was their original intention to have thoroughly organized band of twelve, but two of the party lacked con- fidence in their lung ability to blow a horn and resigned. The other ten are full of application, are self supporting and feel that if they are capable of buy ing their own bread and butter, equal to a man, they certainly can be with him in footing an instrument.
 Said one of the young ladies: "We are not doing this expecting to make public exhibition of ourselves, but for our own amusement We prefer to spend our evenings that way rather than in playing progressive euchre and other light-as-air ways. bought my horn last January, and one evening my brother came to my room and said, You will never learn to play that thing was beginning to feel little shaky about it myself, and when he said that to me was bound would learn to play that thing if it took four years.

Byron's Boatnlan.

The Greek boatman, Chazes by name, who used to serve Lord Byron has just died at Missolonghi, and been honored with state funeral by command of the king, the public buildings at Athens be- ing draped in mourning for this brave survivor of the Greek war of independ- ence. It is sixty-six years since Chazes rowed the poet through the storm that caused his fatal illness, but to him Byron remained forever young and forever glo- rious, as man, as poet and as the would be deliverer of Greece from the yoke of the Turks.-Harper's BaZar.

The Old Napoleonists of Corsica.

It now leaks out that when M. Carnot visited the ''house of Napoleon, at Ajac- cio, collision between some of the Re publicans a9d Reactionists who had gathered outside was only averted by the prudence displayed by the authorities. A few Republicans, burning with zeal, and animated by the wish to get up a political demonstration, began singing the Chant du Depart. Immediately the Reactionists replied to the challenge with the Ajaccienne, one of the verses of which is as follows: "On your knees, citizens and brothers, his shade his de- scending among us ill our squares and streets; let only the name of Napoleon be heard" Matters were looking very black, when the authorities intervened and succeeded in restoring order.-Lon- don Telegraph.

Glass Railroads.

Attention has been called to one of the greatest novelties in the construction of street railroads Glass sleepers, intro duced by Mir Lindsay Buckill and MT. w. Semen, of Dresden, have been tried with such satisfaction that it is now proposed to make broad, longitudinal sleepers of glass, having groove in the upper sur face, and so combining in themselves the functions of both sleepers and rails. This would do away with the necessity for separate iron rails, with their fastenings and other complications In a paper by Dr. Schott it is shown that by properly tempering glass with oil this very brittle substance "can be made, mass for mass, stronger than steel, and practically un- breakable" This being the fact, may we not soon expect to see railroads using large quantities of this plentiful sub stance for rails and for otAer purposes for which iron is now usedF-St, Louis Re- public.

Romance of a DIamond.

A very curious case has been exerciS- ing the authorities at the Cape. In ac- cordance with the law which regards as stolen every diamond which man sells or has in his possession, unless its origin and pedigree are registered at the detec- tive department, man brought up for registration the other day large dia- mond, worth some thousands of pounds, which had, he alleged, been given to him long ago by his sweetheart. His story was that a certain lady, still living, and now the wife of another man, had found the stone and sent it to him some fifteen or twenty years ago. inclosed along with feather in letter, begging him to accept it as keepsake.
 The faithful lover had kept it all this time, he said, but now, being hard up, wished to sell it. He demanded, accord ingly, that the detective department should supply him with a permit. The detective communicated with the lady She, however, being married woman, seemed in no way anxious to have fool ish romance of her callow youth revived, and professed to have no memory of any such transaction. Thereupon the mother of the claimant rummaged about and dis covered the original autograph letter. feather and all.
 There it lies at the detective ofice-a faded relic of sentiment of long ago. It is composition pervaded by as little wisdom as is usual in such things; but accident has attached to it value more substantial than any, perhaps, which the recipient put tuponit "when we two parted in silence and tears" The latest news Is that the authorities believe the story, that the genuineness of the whole affair is in fair way to be established, and that the happy owner will soon be enriched by the proceeds of the diamond which has had sostrange history Colony Letter
