The Trouble with Many inventions.

We are not quite perfect yet, at least
we are still capable of improvements.
There were more applications for patents
in England last year than during any of
the seven preceding years. Now, I've
invented lots of things myself independ-
emily of any suggestion whatever, but
1 have never made anything out of it.
1t has always happened that the things
have been patented before by some one
else. The other day thought of an ar
rangement for keeping books from fall
ing over in shelf that is only half
filed. I find out now that the very
same arrangement is in quite common
use.-Barry Pain in Black and White.

Lookine for Frnit.

A couple of months ago a Philadel-
phia woman bought rustic table made
of the boughs of some trees from which
the bark had not been removed. About
two weeks ago the table began to throw
out green sprouts, and now the whole
table is in full bloom. The owner hopes
it will turn out to be fruit tree.-Free

Talk of the b. & o. Securing Control Of tho
Pennsylvania System.
A few weeks ago the report was circu-
lated that the Baltimore and Ohio road had
been acquired by the Reading combination.
Yesterday the claim was made that the Bal
timore and Ohio had secured controlling
interest in the Richmond Terminal, the
largest railroad system in the South One
week the Baltimore and Ohio is sold, and
in the next the line has gobbled up some
big system. The reports are so conf letting
that railroad men scarcely know what to be-
Geve. A report was current on the streets
yesterday that the Baltimore and Ohio was
In position to turn the tables on the Penn.
sylvania road. A syndicate of Baltimore
and Ohio people was at work, it is said,
quietly buying up Pennsylvania stock, and
they think they have enough to control the
road. This scheme was worked to Gust
Brice and Thomas in the Richmond Ter
minal.
Several Baltimore and Ohio men were
discussing the subject yesterday. Two of
them were very incredulous, but the third
Insisted that he had received the informa-
tion from financial man who knows what
he is talking about. He said the two roads
would be consolidated, with the Baltimore
and Ohio in control When Pennsylvania
official was told the news he laughed and
replied that it was about a. probable as
heaven and hades changing places.

strength of the security it affords, and its
ability to continue liberal dividends.
The Home has no rival for punctualitv In
settlement of claims During the 81 wears
of its existence, it has never passed the de-
claration of a dividend, and has always cul-
tivated the intimate regard of its assured
members.
The Home does not claim to as large a
business as some others, but does claim to
be as strong as the strongest, and its liber-
ality toward its policy holders is without
parallel.
Its policies are simple and free from all
technicalities, and are unrestricted as to

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres 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
from $40 to $50 per acre, i'll subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 16o and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as 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 an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is 10 be paid tor three years and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
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 $40 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
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 $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO 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 q large
hCl6 FORT 6ar
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diIgent husbandry.
