ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
LAND in the heart OF Tehama County, 1or the
parpose 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, in subdivisions of
40, So 12O, 160 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive They viii 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 to be paid for 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 $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 SEQ to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement viii 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 10 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 . large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandry.

ness houses will close in order that their

STORM OF COBWEBS.
Remarkable Phenomenon at Emigrant
Gap Recently.

The world was as full Of cobwebs
As ever a world could be.
They covered the grass in the meadow
They covered the sedge by the sea.
You could never enter woodland path
But you felt across your face,
The clinging OF a cobweb
Like a thread Of tilmy lace"
October was yet young, and the after
noon had but begun, when over our
heads, as far as the eye could reach
myriads of silky cobwebs came floating
steadily down, catching on trees, ridge
poles, chimneys and telegraph poles.
All morning the school children had
complained of the cIinging threads, but
not until little past noon did the storm
of cobwebs attract much attention from
their elders.
just 81 in heavy snowstorm one NAV
look up, up, and still see the steadily de-
scending flakes, so, far up, quite beyond
the reach OF the eye, one could discern
the filmy cobwebs floating slowly down,
glistening and sparkling in the clear,
bright sunshine.
Not till long past o'clock that day did
the school-beu call to work the wonder
ing scholars, and many glances through
the sunniest window showed the eager
interest the little ones took in this singu-
lar storm.
millions and millions of 'em," ex-
claimed one little man in astonished
tones.
All afternoon the fall continued. 1t had
now attracted the attention of every one
in Emigrant Gap, and many old weather
prophets predicted an early and unpre-
cedented winter.
The cobwebs seemed at no time to be
blowing over us, but ever descending in
countless numbers, coming down, down
steadily, until they hung III fringe on
the telegraph lines, and caught in a tam
gled lace-work on the trees and project
ing edges of the suow-sheds, while the
evening sun danced and shmmered on
them as Ii flung Its parting rays upon the
fragile, gllstening things.
Now, when the first snow-storm of the
season has come in good earnest, and the
teathery flakes (rather colder and more
lasting than the evenescent cobweb) lies
seven inches deep, with every indication
of being materially increased during the
night, we remember the storm of the
Cobwebs," and wonder what wise old
King Spider inspired his millions of sub
jects TO send down the pretty warning.
The stockmen coming in at the close of
the short day, with hundred head yet to
find, and the prospect of driving out
their stock in q heavy storm, have cause
to vainly regret they had not needed tho
weather solons and begun their gather
ing' earlier in the month.

The facility with which washing is
done by the use Of bOrax accounts for
its popularity in the low countries and
in Germany, where to many families
washday comes but once a year. The
notion Of cleanliness which prevails
among the better class of Germans for
bids the storing or accumulation Of solled
linen in the dwelling house, hence the
necessity of the "schwartzwaschkom-
mer," built near by, where the soiled or
unwashed clothes are hung up, exposed
TO the air, on poles or lines. We cannot
but commend them for this custom, and
it would be well for those housekeepers
30 take a hint who store soiled garments
in the closets of sleeping rooms and IN
der the beds.
The humblest German hausfrau does
not feel her poverty if she has an album
dance Of linen, and this she will have if
possible, TO the exclusion of other things
which we might regard almost as need
full. She is rich indeed if at the end of
six months or year she can display
long lines hung with immaculate linen.
We can thus understand how even at
this day chest Of linen is regarded
among the peasantry as a part of their
dover or marriage portion Of the bride.
For these washings a week is usually
taken and the event is regarded as no
ordinary one. Tt is something of jubi-
lee in which the entire family takes
part An American lady travelling in
Germany witnessed one of these ''frol-
les" where four or five women were
washing from one capacious tub. When
asked why they did not adopt the easier
plan Of washing weekly, one of them re-
piled that ''they feared the people might
think they had but two garments
apiece. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Original Ideas and Dressmakers.

In my experience I have long since
come to the conclusion that if you are
not fashion plate, an actress or a so
ciety woman celebrated as a model on
which dressmakers show new exhibits,
you must do your own thinking when
you want something little different
from one Of q dozen turned out at the
mandatory. But in case you find
yourself under the necessity of doing
your dressmaker's head work, there is
no need of going to first class man or
woman who sends first class bills. You
must find woman who fits well, who is
not so stubborn but that she will take
and execute some one else's ideas, who
will become interested in the work for
the works sake and who is intelligent
enough to do some suggesting herself.
But [ hear my readers exclaim, ''That
pearl is impossible to find"
1t is perhaps difficult, but not i1npossi-
BILE. L have never found it so. When I
lived in America it was almost impossi-
bic to convince my friends that did not
wear imported dresses, that had them
made right in town; and here in Paris I
have been faithful to my little obscure
dressmaker for the last ten years for gar
ments-cloaks as we'll as dresses. Those
dressmakers, like good servants, can be
found. There are a few Of them left,
and don't see why [ should not be as
clever as my neighbor, find them out and
have the benefit Of their services.-Paris

with a very short tail; is 81 feet in

Is about the colorof salmon. The body
except the head is covered by small
scales, and the back is covered with light
spots. On either side of his back is a
peculiar line, resembling a scar, as if he
had been cutland stitches taken in the
wound. The'fish was taken on La Have
