A RARE OPPORTUNITY
GOOD Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Conlnanv 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, in subdivisions of
40, SO, 120, 16O and $50 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
nuai installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal IS to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have i've years in which TO
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of T per cent. per annun.
making payments extending over a 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 fruit-growing, cannot be
bad 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
agrioulturalland at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
OF these land5 to actual settlers result easy of
plishrncnt.
The primary object of the purchase of this
BODY OF land was the breaking up of large
holding Ior the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion

Tho Realistic Novel.

Somebody discussing in the Providence
JOumuL the question of the realistic
novel, says that the trouble with the
writers Of this school is that they mistake
an accumulation of details for picture OF
this world and the men and women who
live in it. They forget that details are
only of value for the light they throw
upon essentials. One may be told how a
man eats, drinks and sleeps, how he
walks and talks, even how his suspend
ers creall, and still be a long way from
an adequate comprehension OF his charac-
ter. Pettiness and vulgarity exist only
too generally among mankind; and yet
the race is capable of impulses which are
neither petty nor vulgar. 1t makes no
difference how fine the workmanship on
one side of the shield may be; if we see
only one side we are still hopelessiy in
error. Is it realism, or simply pseudo

WHY IS IT?

Not many years ago, as many Of our house
keepers will recall, nearly all the Flavorng
Extracts used bore the label Of Eastern man
ufacturers. AS there is a reason for every
thing there was probably one why the
merchant should pay freight for 5000 miles
on these goods. The reason was that sufficient
care was not taken in the preparation of ex-
tracts by coast manufacturers. Quality was
sacrificed for cheapness. One maker WED
with another in turning out goods at a lower
price until the dealer and consumer turned
with disgust for another source Of supply, and
the products Of the Atlantic Coast were in
demand.
Few people have any conception Of the
vast detail and extreme care necessary to pro-
duce these really delicate flavors. Oil Of
Lemon is produced in Messini. To insure a
fresh and sweet article one must import direct.
Each package Of % pounds must, on its ar
rival be carefully assayed and if not found
absolutely first-elass must be promptly re-
iected The spirits used must be analysed to

ut is too late to raise the question as TO
whether women would be successful in
the ministry" declares the Boston Chris
tan Register Unity: while the world
has been discussing the question, women
have quietly entered the ministry itself,
and have proved the genuineness Of their
calling. Labels amount to very little; it
is the fruit we are seeking, and no more
fruitful ministries can be found anywhere
than some which have been started and
conducted by women. The prophets
never have been wholly confined to one
sex, either III Christian or Hebrew times.
All through the course of history woman
has quietly conducted her selt-sacrificing
ministry of love, and seized the prophets
trumpets to call the world TO truth and
righteousness. Like the woman who met
Jesus at the well, and who went forth to
preach without waiting for ordination.
they have done their work in spite of
ecclesiastical barriers and prescriptions.
But the question now is, whether. in
stead of keeping up old conventional pro-
hibitions, the Christian Church and the
theological seminaries which constitute
the doorway to its ministry ought not to
invite and urge all those who are divinely
commissioned to enter the Christian min
istry, and make proof of the apostleship."

Let God be true though every man be
made u liar,n eXclaims the New York
Observer tPres.). "Christ made no mis-
take and fell into no error. He who asked
men to believe in Him in regard TO all
that appertained to God and 10 their own
immortal welfare neither made nor in
dorsed scientific plumbers. He stamped
no mere legend as truth. He grounded
His claims as the Messiah on the Script
ures, and bid men search them. Had
they been the mere vehicles OF legendary
lore, made up of the ore OF human tradi-
ton, with only here and there bit of
shining gold; had they been false in their
statement of facts while purporting to be
true in their religious or ethical teaching,
Christ would not have sent men to the
Scriptures TO find Him. Men may have
misinterpreted Scripture, they may have
read into the word of God much that
never WAS there. On their own false inter-
pretatiOns; honestly but unfortunately
made. they may have built up. theories
not III accord with facts, but the Bible
itself is not bestrewed with errors, as
some critics would have US believe. It's
history Is not mere story. It's miracles
are not mere myths. Its prophecies are
not tictiOns of the brain. Men may talk
glibiy ABOUT investigating the Bible, and
if the book cannot stand letting it go. 1t
can and will stand. 1t is the word of
God, and the word OF the Lord abideth
forever. Critics may come and go, theo-
rieS may rise like the exhalations of the
night and pass away; false lights will
lead not few astray, but by and by in
the clear light of an amending day, the
word OF God will be seen in all its clear
ness and glory, and the phantOms and

''The most serious objection to the set
ting apart of stated times for stated re-
ligious observances, says the Chicago
Interior (Pres.), lis the constant ten
dency of church calendar to rob secular
days OF holiness, and to load so-called sa-
cred hours with forms which, in the end,
become more revered than the purposes
Of the day itself. Writers who plead for
an open church on week days-in which
the soul can seek for spiritual help and
communicated not realize that the set
ting apart of Jerusalem or this noun
tain as the place where men ought to
pray makes the whole earth besides poor:
while it is the divine intent that the
whole earth shall constitute a temple of
praise and a house Of prayer. The riot
of the carnival in Rome is the legitimate
outcome of the exaggerated austeritieS of
Lent. Only the free and unenforced OBJ
servance of fast and teasts can prevent
them sinking under their own accumu-
lated incrementS until Lent becomes Il
mere bodily exercise, and Easter a festi-
val Of flowers and song, with scarcely
more Of religious meaning left in it than

In RELIGIONS REALM.
Expressions From the Various Re-

The Religious Thought of the Day as
Expressed in the Sectarian Press
Some Matters of Interest to Both
Ministers and Laymen.

The New York CHUrehpGn (P. E.),
speaking of the movement for 2. s. a.
pheasant Sunday Afternoon services
among the Dissenting churches in Eng
land, says: The pendulum of religious
opinion has regularly osciilated between
Sabbatarianism and its extreme opposite,
but at least in England it has never
swung over into secularization ofthe day.
1t Is now upon Its recoil from Sabbatarian
principles. Even Mr.. Spurgeon excused
his riding to the Tabernacle on Sunday
by explaining to remonStrant, y on see
my horse is Jew and keeps his Sabbath
on Saturday. But this new departure
totally ignores the worship of Almighty
God and substitutes for it the amusement
OF men with miscellaneous concerts, SER
mons on football the weather in gem
eral and the frost in particular and other
devices which it is not desirable to re-
advertise here. The old-time non-con-

phraseology there lurked the germ of the

no present use for them. The thought OF

Recent Styles In NIatchboxes.

Every young man, as well as old, is
interested in the matchbox, if not from
a smokers point of view, at least from a
feeling that it is something always serv-
iceable. The best adapted and most
fashionable designs at this time are
those illustrating hunting scenes. The
fishing rod and kinship have been put
by, the gun, the setter and the wild
goose supplanting them.
Apart from nickel the material usually
used for matchboxes has been silver,
but formidable rival has appeared in
finely figured dark steel, the body being
of that metal, the hinges, snap and cover
of silver or gold. In the more expensive
kind there is horseshoe or bed of rubies,
with an effect altogether gorgeous. The
shapes vary from the shell pattern to a
plain satin finish. The absence of elab-
crate decoration is amply atoned for by
the great durability of the receptacle

Singing the Old Songs Once More.

A sacred concert was given mt Welsh
Run bunker church on Sunday after
noon which brought together large
and appreciative audience to hear some
of the old time singing teachers. These
were Professor Solomon Baughey, who
for more than fifty years has been known
in southern Pennsylvania for his charm
ing voice, and in his younger years as n
most successful singing master; Jacob
Maugan, of Maugansville, Nd, who in
1874, with Solomon Baughey, gave Ii
similar concert in the same building,
and Mr.. Myers, of Broad Fording who
is also we'll known conductor. Each of
the gentlemen took the floor.
All of the dear old church hymns were
gone over. The large congregation,
which had been constituted the singing
class, united in the song service with
spirit. Professor Baughey is now well
advanced in years, but he still has a
sweet, melodious voice and the presence
and manner on the floor which have
never deserted him. There were many
parsons present from Maryland and
Pennsylvania. 1t was q notable occa-
sion and one that revived pleasant and
delightful recollections of ye olden time.
