Up town there is phonograph, and
the man who is running it is hotel own-

The room was quite full Of people, aud
the caller had all insane desire to give

He beraIed him up hill and down. He
didn't leave him, as he expressed it, in
any kind Of shape. All the time the OBJ

4 Wonder1uI Art.

The Japaneze horticullurist shows
wonderful patience coupled with what We
practical Americans would term ill-di-
recied skill, in his rare art of propaga-
ting miniature tree and vines, says the
St. Louis Republic 1t is a wellknown
fact that both The Chinese and the Japa-
nese are never satisfied unless they can
MAIN and distort both nature and art.
This may be seen in the ouilandish car
toons which their painters turn out as
works of art and in the deformed build
ings fashioned by their architects. But
ii either may be said 10 excel in these un-
secmiy practices i; is surely the japanese.
Unlike the American and the Euro
pean gardener, VINO strains every nerve
To secure large and thirty plants and
trees, the Jap loses sleep trying to devise
,ome plan that will deiorm, cripple, and,
as general thing it is usually DONE
The Japanese art of making miniature
landscapes and gard'ns consis chiefly
in starving plants so as 70 retard the cir
culalion of the sap of li.e-giving juices.
Ferguson, who was among the. first
English adventures TO visit China and
Japan, mentions the fact that he saw at
Canton "a boxe about the bigness of a
ladyes snuff box, which did containe
liiiyl dirt and sixteen tiny littyl trees,
foure of which were in full blow, the
whole boxe, trees aud all, so small that
man could put them in hys mouth to-
gether."
Keampier is also quoted as describing
a trio of trees he saw in box inches
broad, 4 inches long and 3 inches deep,
for which the owner asked the traveller
the modest sum of $500. The three den
liens of the box were bamboo,
blooming plum tree and blue
Icafed pine, all perfectly formed and
seemingly enjoying their dwarfed exis-
tence When Lady Hester Wilherall
visited the the royal palace at the Japa-
uese capital in 1866 she was shown
miniature pine tree growing in a lady's
silver ihmble suspended by silken
threads. The tree was n perfect forest
in miniature. iis brnnches eN'
hibi,ins not les than fifty perfect little
cones.

She was romantic. Her father was
millionaire, who,e life had been devoted
to sausage making. He was practical

been reading romance and stuff, and
when be proposed TO her declared he
nut do something poeiical for her.

And 60 he became poor artist and
took a poor studio and daubed on canvas
and pretended to paint pictures. And
there was another niiIlionaire's daughter

for her picture. In those delightful tete-
q te,es be forgot all about the romantic
maiden, aud when the romantic maiden
came one night in peasant costume as a

found he MAS married to the other girl
and bad gone off on bis honeymoon. She
thinks that romances are all lies now,
and that nothing happens in real life as
II happens in books.

-FOUR BEAUTIFUL Female SLAVES
The Khedive's Gift to the Sultan
Of Turkey.
Fayors Lavished on Them and the
Rest of the Harem Neglected.
The Result Is Jealousy and the Favorites
Are Foubd Dead in Their Beds.
The Grand Turk Ina
Great Rage.

By the Associated Press.
CoNsrANTINoPLE, Dec. II. = Four
beautiful female slaves were recently
presented by the khedive of Egypt to
the sultan of Turkey and placed in the
imperial harem. They appeared to have
a captivating influence on the sultan,
who paid them so much attention as
to excite the jealousy of his other
women. The four beautiful slaves were
found murdered in their beds q few days
ago, having fallen victims to poison.
The sultan is said to have been deeply
enraged when he heard OF the fate
Of his favorites, and to have
ordered rigid investigation and severe
punishment of the guilty. Three
eunuchs, who had access to the apart
ments of the victims, were arrested on
suspicion of being the persons who act
ually administered the poison, and at
the latest accounts were being subjected
to torture in order to compel them to
make full confession. The suspicion
of having instigated the crime rests
chiefly on one of the copcubines who,
until the arrival of the Egyptian women,
almost monopolized the sultan's affec-
tions.

ANAHEIMs SUGAR FACTORY.
The Directors Make q Definite Selection
---- of Site.

The Dire ctors Make a Definite Selection
of a Site.
The directors of the Anaheim Cooper
ative Beet Sugar company met yester-
day in Anaheim and there settled the
question of the location of the factory by
accepting the proposition made by
Messrs. Stanton & Van Alstine of Los
Angeles.
These gentlemen donate lot Al of the
Anaheim Homestead tract, containing
40 acres, and agree to develop artesian
water in sufficient quantity for the fac.
tory. A formal contract was drawn and
entered into. The meeting adjourned,
the board drove to the site in body
and proceeded to select the ground for
the factory. Work on the water supply
commences tomorrow, and will be
pushed day and night.
The settlement of location gives gen.
eral satisfaction, and the citizens are
more enthusiastic than ever, and are de.
ter mined to go to work this season.
The location is one and half miles
west of the Southern Pacific railroad, in
the very heart of the beet.growing dis
trict, and where it will be the most good
to the greatest number.
A contract for printing bonds of the
factory was let to the Los Angeles Litho-
graph company.
An order has been made for 25 tons Of
beet seed and is now on the way.
The Importance of this enterprise can
not be estimated, being the first factory
on the cooperative plan in the United
States, and the farmers will reap the
benefit instead of the capitalists.
The factory is to cost 1875, 900. The
capital is assured and the stock is prac.
tically all taken. The capital is partly
local and partly foreign. The factory
will have daily capacity of 225 tons.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-12-18

The "norther" OF Friday and Satur-
day has done some damage to the orange
crop, although there is tendency in
certain quarters to exaggerate it's effects.
There has been considerable loss re-
ported from Altadena, Sierra Madre
and the Azusa. There is belt of
country there which is peculiarly ex-
posed to the violence of wind such as
that which has just visited US, and it
lies in the foothills of the Sierra Madre
range. From Redlands and Riverside
we learn that the damage has been very
trifling. Altogether, taking in the
whole citrus belt of Los Angeles, San
Bernardino, Orange and Ventura coun-
ties, the damage has been very trifling.
