To Please His Wife,

A reporter tells the story of an En-
glish Bishop who. returning from a
tour of the States, occupied large
double cabin with his wife, who was
somewhat querulous and exacting.
One night during a storm that lady
complained of close air, and her
spouse arose and opened a portfolio,
whereupon big wooden ball bobbed
in and kept on bobbing.
The Bishop knotted up ITS string
and hung it on the wall of the cabin;
it bumped as the vessel rocked and
annoyed the lady further. So the
patient Bishop let 90 the loops and
put the ball under mis- pillow, after
which peace and slumber reiRned.
The next day at dinner he re-
counted his adventures of the night,
and, bridled with intense delight at
the roars of laughter which greeted
the story, the captain recovered SUI
f1ciently to gasp:
"Why, man-ah-that is, my lord,
that bail you slept on hangs at the
end of the ships lightning con-
ductor!"-Paris Figaro.

Trust In Yourself.

A great deal of our most useful
knowledge must be buffeted into us
and that is the chief good you will
reap by mixing with society. A
great fault ia Young men is to trust
too implicitly to the opinions Of
others-qulte the reverse of what
people generally suppose. Trust your
own judgment where you have reason
to think you possess any, and q man
need never be at any loss in settling
this point. Never ask any persons
advice; mean exactly what say
You may ask another for information
because another may be better in
formed upon given matter than
you; but to ask advice is to imply that
you have no judgment of your own to
r,ly upon; and if you lack the judy
ment requisite for an undertaking, do
not attempt it.

1t Wore On Him.

Can any one tell why it is that in
all The pathetic stories of house clean
ing with which the newspapers peri.
odically abound, it is invariably the
husband and fathor who is repre-.
sented as the chief sufferer? Here,
now, is the latest of such veracious
chronicles, clipped from the St. Louis
Post Dispatch. Perhaps the mystery
is explained by the excessively SYM
pathetic nature Of the average man.
Directly after breakfast the man of
the house took to the sofa in the sit
ting room with the morning newspa
per, while his wife set about the
housekeeping. She was dismantling
the front room, and before he had
finished the sporting column she had
carried past him seven chairs, three
tables, desk, four footstools, all the
pictures, piano stool, a bookcase,
and sundry other pieces of furniture.
Then she logged In a pair of steps
and pail of water, and began to
clean.
'.Do you want any assistance,
Maria?" said the man, at that point,
as he rose and folded the paper.
mot just yet, dear" said Maria-~
swell, then. I think I'll leave
you," said he, and he started for the
Office.
On the way he stopped to tell three
men that if there was anything that
wore him to the skin and bone it was
that confounded housekeeping.
Said he:

He Got tho Girl.

He was a courteous man and had
been the old gentleman's cashier for
number of years. He was implicitly
trusted, but-well, when some one
suggested to the old gentleman that
he was remarkably attentive to his
daughter the old gentleman looked
solemn. He didn't exactly approve
of that.
But the young man was courteous
and he had a pleasantconvincing way

ly as if expecting a rebuff, and he
didn't enter with the air Of bold,
bad man who does not intend to be
s'bluffed. He entered in a quiet,
business-like way and said:
II have been your cashier for ten
or twelve years, Mr.. Millbanks"
''Something like that I believe, {"
responded the old gentleman, looking
at him inquiringly.
81 think my record during that
time has been good" went on the
young man.
Excellent was the reply.
81 come of a good and honorable
family"
The old gentleman began to see
what was coming and he prepared for
it, but he admitted the truth of the
assertion.
''You have never had to have my
books examined by an expert" per.
sisted the young man.
"Never."
Every we'll. There is matter Of
some importance to you and me that
I should like to speak about to You."

feeling that the moment for flrmness
had come.
"Would you prefer me to marry
your daughter here or in Canada?"
asked the cashier pleasantly.

startled; "I--Marry her here my boy!
Marry her here! I'd rather have you
in this cOuntry."- Press.

A Cherry Seed That Cost sa5, 900.

In a museum of curiosities at
Salem, Mass, There is preserved a
common cherry seed or stone, followed
and fashioned like a basket. Within
the basket are twelve tiny silver
spoons, the shape and finish of which
cannot be distinguished with the
naked eye. DR. Peter Oliver, who
lived in England during the early
part of the eighteenth century, tells
OF seeing a carved cherry stone which
would De wonder even in this age
of fine tools ana fine workmanship.
The stone was one from common
CHEEKY and upon it were carved the
heads Of l24 pOpes, kings queens,

emperors, saints, etc. Small as they
must necessarily have been. it is an
nounced on the authority Of Prof
Oliver that with good glass the
the head Of the popes and kings could
readily be distinguished from those Of
the queens and saints by their miters
and crowns The gentlemen who
brought this little wonder to England
purchased it in Prussia, allowing the
original owner s5, 900 for his treasure.

Book Borrowers.

In this era of cheap literature, book
clubs and free circulating libraries,
there seems no reason why people
should borrow books at all; but they
are lazy folk, and will not take the
trouble to 60 and buy a book for
themselves if they can get 1T from a
friend for nothing. 1 really do not
see why a man should lend his books,
any more than his chairs or his din
ing-room table. You might do with
out the second and the third. but you
could scarcely exist without the first.
II you like to give any one a book, by
all means do so; but if you lend a
book, it generally means losing it, for
which you receive no Enthusiastically
an apology. When the lost volume
belongs to set, the offence is es-
peciallY aggravating. I have long
ago given up lending books, for have
always found, if a friend borrows a
volume-which he probably does not
look at for fortnight-you immedi-
ately want to refer to it the moment
he has left the house. once heard
of fine old bibliophile who had the
price put inside all bis volumes.
When asked to lend one, he would
look inside it and say, "Yes, with
great pleasure. I see the price is five
dollars, which will be refunded when
the volume is returned" He argued
that If the book is really required,
the money would be cheerfully paid;
but he found these occasions were few
and far between, and, what is more.
he never lost any Of his books or had
them returned in dilapidated con-
ditiOn.

[From the San Francisco Bulletin.

A California-street merchant to-cay fur
nishes an illustration OF the advantages which
have been accorded to the Chicago merchants
over the san Francisco merchants by the i'm
position OF high local trans poTtat ton charges
within the State. I'VE have a carload rate on
our goods OF 81 rs per hundredWeight for
transportation from Chicago To- San Fran
cisco. The rate on a hundredweioht of the
same commodity from Chicago to Fresno is
50. The local rate from San Francisco to
Fresno is over half the rate per hundred
weight from Chicago to Fresno. Being in fact
80 cents per huRdredweight. Add this 90
cents to the carload rate of 81 rs from Chi
cago and you can see what chance there is for
US 10 do a jobbing trade with the interior in
these goods. With the local rates added 1t
costs as So 60 per hundredweight to lay
down in Fresno goods brought from Chicago
In carload lots, while the Chicago jobber de-
l1vers the same goods for So. Here is differ
ence of o5 cents Ter hundredweight against us
in freight money and no margin for profit
Can you wonder that the jobbing trade OF san
Francisco even within points near this city
Is slipping away in favor OF Chicago and
other Eastern jobbing points? have a list of
upward OF twenty houses in the San joaquin

A RARE 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 tba
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This iand embraces lands from first.
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre. in subdivisions Of
40, so, 120, 160 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these Ian DIS are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the paw
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 lnstaliments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal IS TO be paid tor three years and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which tn
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum.
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at SO per acre,
and 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-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 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 $50
an acre, and for 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 a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandry

IN RELIGIONS REALM.
Expressions From the Various Re-
ligious Newspapers.
The Religious Thought of the Day as
Expressed in the sectarian Press
Some Matters of Interest to Both
Ministers and Laymen.

"a kind of teaching is being propa-
gated in certain quarters" say the Lung
Church u. e. of Chicago. (which has an
enticing sound to many minds on ac-
count Of the breadth of its seeming
charity. According to this teaching the
church and the world are brought into
harmony. We are assured that the spirit
of the age al it's best is identical with this
spirit of Christ. The antithesis between
the church and the world which runs
through the New Testament is forgotten:
the warning of the Apostle that the
friendship OF the world is enmity with
SOD has grown obsolete. The lesson of
history, which confirms the truth of this
warning in the disastrous consequences
which have always followed the accept
ance of that friendship, is ignored. Thus
we are invited, and almost commanded,
to square the teachings and claims of the
church with the opinions of the world
with what II is supposed enlightened men
viii receive. In accordance with all this.
it is asserted that all mankind have be-
come sons of God by adoption. from the
moment of the incarnation, and that
baptism is nothing more than the recog-
milton or exhibition of this fact. This
doctrine is making its appearance IN
published sermons from time to time
and has even crept into some of the Sun
day-school lesson papers which are so
widely used. OF course the New Tesla
ment contains no such teaching and it is
equally opposed to creed, articles, baptis-
mai offices and catechism."
''Much of the religious unrest that
marks our time is due TO the demand for
demonstrative evidence in the realm of
spiritual TRUTH observes the Wotchman
(l}apt.) of Boston. Cardinal Newman's
account of the steps by which he was led
to the Roman Church shows that he was
in guest OF some external ground: for
reaching an almost mathematical GER
