Curious Antipathies.

Gretry, the composer, and Queen
Anne both abhOrred the smell of
roses, and Faverite the Italian poet
and Vincent the painter are known
to have had similar aversions. Seal
iger tells OF woman who was al
ways thrown into commissions by the
sight of eithera lily or cabbage.
Though passionately fond of dog,
Henry III. would faint at the sight
of cat. So, too, would the Duke of
Schoenberg.
Marshal Breze once shot and killed
a companion while out hunting rab-
bits, and ever afterward would faint
at the sight Of one Of those harmless
little animals.
LIE Mothe de Mayer delighted to
listen at the loudest thunder, but
sickened and turned faint at the
sound of any musical instrument.
Nicano tainted upon hearing flute,
and lady in Namur swooned every
time she heard bell.
The smell of fresh fish always threw
Erasmus into fever, and King Via
dislas declared that he would rather
meet 1000 armed foes than to be
confined in a room with a peck of
apples.
The Emperor Augustus had a NOR
tai dread Of thunder and always re-
tired to vault built for that purpose
at the approach of the smallest
thunder-cloud.
Scaliger, who tells Of the woman
who so despised lilies and cabbages,
was himself made sick at the sight of
water crosses, and neither he nor
Peter OF Abano could drink milk.
Vanghelm, the great Hanoverian
sportsman, who had slain wild boars
by the hundreds, would faint IL a
roast pig or piece of pork was put on
the table.--Philadelphia Press.

Sioux City correspondence: One of
the saddest scene in the history OF
the flood disaster of the West stands
revealed. The contemplate Floyd
River, which spread such desolation
through this city, has crept back to
its original narrow channel, leaving
vast piles OF shattered houses, torn
up streets, broken telegraph poles
and tangled masses OF debris TO at
test the fury with which it swept the
place, engulhng the homes of hun
dreds and extinguishing human lives.
Not less than thirty-five persons
were drowned, and just how many
more may have been borne TO the
raging Missouri may never be known.

citizens, the scenes were most
pathetic. Mothers came looking for
their children, husbands for their
wives, and children for their parents.
In some cases the committee was
able to give information as to where
the missing ones could he found, but
it was too often the case that the
seekers wentaway benumbed at heart.
In some cases the suspense became
grief, when it was broken by the an
nouncement Of the recovery of q
body.
The Work Of Relief.
AS soon as possible after the flood
the work of rescue and relief was be-
gun. Private houses were thrown
open to the homeless and soup

carrying out the work of assistance on
systematic principles, and besides
most of the heads Of families are en-
ployed in clearing up the debris left
by the flood. Sioux City is hopeful
and few weeks more will see it
"boomin" on the road to renewed
prosperity, as though financial loss
of nearly $2,OO0,O0O had not been
visited upon it.

"There is silver in Central Park,
and 1 think gold and tin are also to
be found there" The speaker was
Colonel Fl. Charles Ulman, a lawyer
Of New York. Colonel Ulman, who
was in command of the Fifth Regi-
ment Of Pennsylvania Reserves dur
ing the civil war, is practical miner
as we'll as soldier and lawyer. For
eight years he was interested in min
ing in Colorado, and the knowledge
he had gained in regard to it is of
the practical sort.
"What makes you think those met
ais are to be found there?" he was
asked.
Il have found one, silver, and there
are indications Of the Others" he re-
piled. Not long ago, while passing
through the depressed roadway at
Sixty-tifth street, noticed rock of
peculiar appearance in the north re-
tanning wall. / examined it with the
glass / always carry in my pocket,
and saw unmistakable traces of silver.

used five milligrams of it in making
an assay, and the result of the assay
was a showing of forty-six ounces Of
silver to the ton. l learned from in
quiry at the park department that
all the rock used in building this re-
tanning wall was quarried in the
park. II that be the case, there is
silver in Central Park. Since 1 clip
ped the piece from the stone in the
wall in the Sixty-flfth street roadway,
the stone has been removed and an
other has been put In it's place, but I
am confident that little prospect
ing would result in finding stone in
the park that will not only show
traces of silver but Of gold and tin

Ohio, and before the tree bore fruit

And in a few minutes their force was
felt in repeated bursts that covered a
great section Of the city with the mad
food. The scene that followed it
was cruel beyond belief. In the part
OF the flooded district that bore the
main weight of the attack hundreds of
poor working people lived with their
families in frame houses convenient
to the factories where the heads of
the families were employed. The

Tho Great CaI,fornia Telesoope.

Southern California seems natural
ly entitled to a very high rank in
horticulture, in the attractiveness of
its climate, in the exports of oranges
and lemons, and in the size Of its ir-
rigating dams; but taking all circum-
stances into account, one would hard
ly expect to find in that region the
largest telescope in the world. That
distinction, however, the young COM
munity away down on the Pacific
Slope will presently enjoy. The
Manchester On. H. Union states that
the largest telescope ever made,
measuring ten feet in circumference,
or nearly forty inches in diameter, is
now in process Of manufacture by a
well-known New England establish
ment. 1t is destined for the Uni
versity Of Southern California, and
surpasses in size even the celebrated
instrument at the Lick Observatory.

Hints to County Teachers.

Do not slight tho smaller for the old
err. Remember that with the little ones
you are laying the foundations Of future
scholarship.
The atmosphere OF your school can be
neither primary, intermediate nor gram
mar. The ideal primary school should
be free, busy, happy, motherly place.
The teacher, above all, should feel free.
The grammar school Is more formal and
conventional. Its ways do not suit the
little folks fresh from home, and the
playful, affectionate manner of present.
Ing knowledge to little children often
proves distracting to the always curl
GUS, easily diverted older pupil.

Fable or the Pansy.

A pretty fable of the pansy is cur
rent among children. The flower has
five petals and five sepals. In most
pansies, especially of the earlier and
less highly developed varieties, two of
the petals are plain in color and three
are gay. The two plain petals have
a single petal, two of the gay petals
have a sepal each, the third, which
is the largest of all, has two sepals.
The fable is that the pansy repre-
sents family, consisting of husband,
wife, and four daughters, two of the
latter being stepchildren Of the wife.
The plain petals are the stepchildren,
with only one chair; the two small
gay petals are the daughters with
chair each, and the large gay petal is
the wife, with two chairs.
To find the father one must strip
away the petals until the stamens
and pistils are bare. They have
fanciful resemblance to an old man
with a flannel wrap about his neck,
his shoulders appraised, and his feet
in a bathtub. The story is probably
of French origin, because the French
call the pansy the stepmother.

How TO vary Seat Work.

Have pupils bring cards, old picture
books, magazines, illustrated papers,
guide books, etc. Then having classi-
fed them somewhat, let the scholars
cut out all the faces, and then let few
paint then with mucilage. Let this dry.
Have a few of your class arrange some
OF these faces in a page OF your book.
Then wet and stick just as you would a
stamp. What a fuss and muss this
method saves.
In another book have pictures Of ami
mails classified according to countries or
to zones.
In another have pictures Of the differ
ent varieties of birds, and have your
best writer's place suitable gems under
meath. e
Devote another to flowers for the diff
ferent seasons.
Another to leaves, according to form,
margin, etc.
In another, place pictures Of the diff
ferent nationalities.
In another, place pictures illustrating
the definitions In geography.
Another may be given to gems on
different subjects, such as Kindness,
Thanksgiving, Truthfulness, Courtesy,
etc. -Educational Journal, Toronto.

The worst bad company" that
bad boy or girl can be in Is the COM
pany of bad book. Evil associates
are harmful enough, but they do not
injure young person as evil books
do. There is a subtle, and at the
same time imperative quality, in the
influence of a printed page, which
everybody feels. You read state
ment, and unconsciously you believe
1t, and yield up your mind to it
simply because it cOnfronts you in
the dignity Of type. But let person
whom you know make the same
statement orally, and you will think
twice before you accept it.
This is where the danger Of a bad
book comes in, 1t gets a special hear
ing and exercises peculiar influence
which bad person can not. Besides,
IL can say the same evil thing over
and over again, in the same fascinat-
ing words, as often as your curiosity
prompts you TO seek it. Therefore,
IL manly and honest-and we trust
that all boys and girls are-the wise
thing for them is to shun books that
have bad name.
And If you do not know whether
book is good or bad, ask the advice of
your parents and teachers as to what
you should read. Do not be enticed
by low curiosity to see what bad
book is like. Shun 1t as you would
pitch or poison, or quicksand, or any
other vile or dangerous thing. The
world is full of good and charming
books. Keep company with them.
They will make you nobler and better
all your lfe.--Chicago Juvenile.

The demagogues, who just at this time
are endeavoring to force the question of
railway transportation of products and
supplies into the political arena and to
commit the problem of fares and freights
to legislative tinkering, ignore the his
tory of the past. They put out of sight
the injury to California from the agita-
ton Of 1888, and assume that Legisla-
lures have and can by 'Act' run counter
to commercial laws and not bring incal-
culable injury upon the people. A San
Francisco journal makes bold to say that
the whole question must be turned over
to the Legislature to adopt schedule of
rates and enforce it. That presupposes
ability on the part of a legislative body
to adjust a transportation system to vary
ing conditions that never has been and
never can be developed in a body of leg
islators.

In the consideration Of the question
that San Francisco improvidence and
commercial incompetence has brought to
the attention of the people, the interior
cannot ignore the questions: "What is the
profit Of San Francisco upon the produce
sent there from the country ?'' "What
return does the metropolis make to the
producers for their contribution to metro
politan importance?" "What is the pro-
portion of the profit of the grower to the
gain of the merchant-handler of the pro-
duce of the INTERIOR" 'How far has the
metropolis ever, or does it now contribute
to the upbuilding Of its trade area within
the Slater" ''How great is the invest
ment of San Francisco capital in interior
industry ?" ITO what extent has the
city that claims the sole right to distribute
supplies to the country invested its capi-
tai or loaned it's use to the farmer, the
irrigationists, the orchardists or others
who are struggling with the scheme of
State building?"

IT has developed in recent citation of
Eastern rates for railway service, in COM
parison with rates obtaining upon Cali
fornia railways, that when the widely
different conditions are taken into ac-
count the California rates are about the
same as those at the East. The single
item of fuel is unit in the problem that
plays most important part; the cost OF
material in railway construction and
maintenance is another, while the vol
tffne of the traffic, passenger and freight,
is matter of first value, and one that the
demagogic railway agitators wholly ig-
more, in denial of the truth that railway
rates here are proportionately as low as
at the East.

THE San Francisco Gail says: "What
the so-called croakers want is that the
common carrier shall carry fruit at fair
price, SO as to give the fruit-growers a
share in the profits of the industry"
Precisely, and no one will contend to the
contrary. But has it ever occurred to the
croakers that the large share of the profit
is taken by the middle-men? With fruit
selling here at to 6 cents pound that
sells at the East from 15 to Is cents a
pound, with the carriers paid but LAO
cents pound, who divides the differ
ence between these two sums? Certainly
not the railway carrier.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT TO EUROPE

If the arrangements projected by the
Southern Pacific Company are success
fully completed, as at this time seems
quite probable, whereby California fruits
can be shipped in prime condition to
Liverpool in about the same time hereto
fore consumed in transporting the same
produce to New York City, this State will
be immensely benefited in two most i'm
portant particulars. The advantage of
having Great Britain as an additional
market for our fruits is evident; it will
end all doubt as to the question of de-
mand, so that all our people will have to
do will be to look out for the supply.
But if only our best fruits in the best
form, if these and only these are shipped
to the English market, the State of Cali
fornia will be advertised to much greater
advantage than ever before This result,
all things considered, will benefit US even
more than an additional market for our
fruits. Once let our English brethren,
few of whom now know anything about
California, and all of whom are conserva-
tive to the last degree, taste and eat our
peaches, pears, plums, cherries, grapes,
etc., and by this test will they be con-
vinced, but no evidence less tangible will
influence their capitalists to come over
and bring their money into California for
investmentin industrial enterprises; nor,
which is even more desirable, induce
thrifty, intelligent Englishmen of the
middle class to come into the State as per-
manent residents and home-makers
among US.
