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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
lanG 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, 100 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They viii be sold In
subdi visions, 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 f We equal an
nual installments, Thus no part of the prin-
clpal is tc be paid tor three years, and then
the purchaser ia to have five years ia which to
pay five equal annual ipstallments, with in
terest at tue rate of z per cent. per annuDa,
making payments extending over Il period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
Iand OF fair average quality at SO per acre
and good agricultural land ut $40 al s.c-e
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 tbGn from 500 to
800 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 $40 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 c large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbaudry.

The New Expanding Bullet,

An English military officer has designed
q bullet which is claimed to meet the OBJ
jections made against the small bore pro-
jectile. The present size of bul,t adopted
by most governments has been found to
pass through living animals in less sensi.
tive parts without their being apparently
aware that they had been struck at all.
This is due to the combination Of high We
locity and small diameter. If the bullet
strikes a bone the effect is different, be-
cause the bone splinters terribly under a
blow at high velocity. The Industrial
World describes this bullet as having a
mantlet or case, which is closed at the base
and open at the head, the mantlet ending
about half way between the shoulder and
the point. The result is that on impact
the head spreads, so as to make the bullet,
after having the advantage of a small di
ameter in fight, to become on striking
practically one of large BORE the main diff
ference being that the energy consists more
in velocity and less in weight than was the
case in an old large bore ball. 1t is said
also to be much more efficient against thin
iron or steel plate for the same reason
namely, that it makes n much larger hole
and to act particularly well in oblique i'm.
Dact,

BOGUS STATISTICS SENT OUT BEFORE
THE ELECTION FOOL NO ONE BUT
DUPeS AND SUCKERS.
From the Labor Tribune, tPltts.,

The ninth annual report of the
Bureau of Statistics of Labor of New
York contains the result of special
inquiry into the effect of the tariff on
labor and wages. Out of 8, 900 inquiries
sent out 5000 replies were returned, and
from these it was adduced that in 1891
there was net increase in wages over
1890 (the year Immediately prior to the
enactment of the Mckinley billy of
S6,377, 1926 90, and net increase of pro-
duction of $31, ,315, ,1306S. There were,
according to this report, SO, III instances
of individual increases of wages during
the same year. 1t would seem that the
inquiries were directed wholly to en-
ployers, and it is not improbable that
they were selected with reference to
securing just such result as reported.
At best 5000 replies would be merely
partial, and the resultant figures mis-
leading. Such inquiry should take III
all sorts of crafts. Thus a balance
might be struck which would indicate
whether the total of wages had been
reduced or incry ased, and some infOr-
nation got as to the number of indi-
yiduals whose wages were increased
or decreased, each in its class. Sum
maries of reports sent out preceding an
important election are not to be taken
without salt

FASHIONS OF THE PERIOD.

1t is to Worth that thanks are due for
the decree making black velvet the din
ner dress approved for young and lovely
women.
A pretty cloak to be worn over light
or bright gowns is of black lace, which
falls in loose, unconfned folds to rhe
feet, has full bishop sleeves and no lin
ing.
A quaint conceit Of young women is
that of affecting velvet empire sleeves
in such bright and vivid colors as red, yell
low, green or turquoise blue in evening
gowns Of an entirely different color.
Small shocked skirts exactly like q
countryman's smock are worn by little
boys of three in short trousers. They
are arranged with a fullness, falling
over the waist belt, and have round,
turned down collars.
Lace epaulets over the shoulders, end
ing on the chest and back in kind of
folded fichu arrangement, and puffed
elbow sleeves, with jabots of lace, give
the finishing touches to the approved
dress for young ladies.
"Stole" drapelies of transparent or
semitransparent fabrics are added to the
walking costumes worn by married and
middle aged women. The stoles may be
worn in front only when the center
part falls loose, but the part at the side
is kept in place by the eband.-New York

Hardening of Varnishes.

1t is supposed by many that all varnish
is dry on the surface before it hardens
through, and that only a careful eXamina-
tion is necessary before applying the second
coat. AS a matter Of fact, however, ac-
cording to The Carpenter and Builder, the
reverse is the case with high class var
nishes, which invariably harden from the
bottom upward. This should be well borne
in mind, and several days should always
be allowed for proper hardening and dry
ing before tiattening down for the second
coat. A change Of temperature may cause
varnish to dry at one time much slower
than at another, and therefore change
of weather has always to be taken into ac-
count. Cold drafts may strike varnish and
render it fatal to its proper bearing out; in
fact, no varnish should be applied in frosty
weather. as the properties are utterly de-
stroyed by it. Then an oily brush or too
full undercoat and insufficient time for the
hardening Of it are certain to affect the re-
suits, and will often necessitate the revar-
nishing Of the work.

REPUBLICAN CONVERT WHO TALKS

Workers of America, who has seen the
newspaper accounts on the one hand of
the fetes and feasting of Andrew Carne-
gle and Chauncey Depew in the Scot
tish highlands and on the other hand of
the locked out Homesteaders and slave
driven railroad switchmen, has been
converted to tariff reform, and this is
the way he writes about the matter
Other laboring men can read his utter
ances, with profit. He says:
81, who have always been a staunch
upholder of the Republican party, now
cast aside all my Republican ideas and
will vote straight Democratic ticket
and whyp Because the reduction of
wages at Homestead in an industry
protected by high tariff has opened my
eyes to the fact that high tariff is a
farce. During the last few months we
have passed through most terrible

of terror"--of which strikes, anarchy
bloodshed and murder are conspicuous
features. When capilal and monopoly
work hand in hand what chance has the
workiDgman to oppose them, and when

rights of capital and monopoly and with
brute force tramples upon our freedom
what chance have we TO uphold the
dignity of industry or to obtain from
mOnonoly the hire of which every
labOrer is worthy? Cannot these terri

ended? Is there no remedyP Can we
never obtain "the one law for rich and
poor alike?' ] believe that the remedy
is to be found in the ballot, and that

WE acknowledge with thanks a gift OF
one can of tomatoes from Mr.. Martz of
Upton. Mr.. Martz, as our readers will
remember, 10 tue gentleman who demon
strated by his receipted bills that the Nc
Kinley law had increased the price of
tinware 81 per box. The can is said to be
american tin" made at ElWood, Ind.
o wing to the peculiar appearance of the
tin we have been unable to induce anyone
to sample the tomatoes, but we take
pleasure in certifying that the wrapper is
simply gorgeous and uuquestionably of
American workmanship.-India
Sentinel.
This can of tomatoes is a twin sister
to the much advertised can sent Gov.
KcKinley, from the same house, a few
days ago. AS no mention has been
made of 1t, we presume the Major has
been afraid to eat his tomatoes, as the
solution of lead in the so-called Ameri-
can tin is liable TO corrosive action
from contact with the acid in the
tomatoes, which generates an acrid
poison of great virulence. Even a
highly protected statesman would not
care to risk this in his stomach, in the
midst Of great campaign.
