California.

The fame Of the climate OF California
draws TO that charming state new friends
every year, particularly from sections
where long, severe winters followed by
trying spring seasons, work such disastrous
results among the weak and dcbilitated.
The great improvements in passenger
train service, higher degrees Of comfort In
the cars, and shorter time required on the
trip combined with the cheapness OF the ex-
cursion tickets now being sold TO California
and back by the Santa Fe Route, make the
journey agreeable and, one can almost say,
economical. The many delightful resorts
now established In California afford every
comfort and luxury desired by the fastidi-
Gus, and present unique attractions.
The Hotel del Coronado at San Diego, the
Raymond ut Pasadena, the Redondo at Re
dondo Beach, and the hotels at Santa Bar
bara, Monterey, Riverside, Los Angeles
and many other points. have grown as
famous as any on the Atlantic Coast and
fact that should not be forgotten Is that
they are resorts all the year around, al
though the greatest number Of people from
the East are In California between the
months of November and May.

report to this or the next succeeding
general assembly the best plan for i'm
proving the public highways of the
state. ! recommend that the commits
sion be composed of civil engineers Of
experience, and that suitable provision
be made by this general assembly to
meet the expenses"
Gov. Altgeld, in his inaugural adj
dress, said:
while our state has developed in
every other respect, we have made no
progress in the matter of roads. We
are. In this regard, almost where we
were half century ago, SO that, for a
number of months in the year, our
roads are almost impossible, and the
loss and inconvenience of this falls most
heavily on our agricultural commu-
mites. Not only is the farmer subjected
to heavy loss in the wear and tear of
his team, but he Is frequently prevent
ed from availing himself of favorab BILE
markets by the impassability of the
roads. The state should again take up
the subject of internal improvements
and adopt a policy that will tend to the
building of good roads in every county
in the state-roads that can be travelled
every day in the year AS the railroads
do all the carrying for long distances.
wagon roads are, to great extent, a
local matter in each city. This being
SO, the roads will not need to be SO
wide, and can, therefore. be more
cheaply built than would otherwise be
possible 1t is also probable that some
convicts in our penitertiaries could be
used to prepare material for the build
ing of the roads"

WORDS OF ADVICE
FROM A NOTED PHYSICIAN.
a Former Student of Sir Morrell Mac
kcuzie, of London, England.

Every physician of extensive practice
admits the difficulty-nay, almost hope
lessness--of treating Nephritic (l1idney)
troubles successfully. After seventeen
years experience in practicing my pro-
fession had reached the same conclu-
sion, and that our usual therapeutic
agents were wholly inadequate to cope
with such diseases, when my attention
was called TO DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.

have always been prejudiced against
the use Of patent medicines Ia failure
peculiar To the members of my profess
SION, but here was a preparation dis
covered by an old and scientific physi-
clan whose wide experience, extending
over many years, had given him excep-
tiopal advantages for treating disease
successfully. Was it not, then, posi-
BILE that he had found a cure where
others had failed? l determined to test
the matter.
Shortly after arriving at this conclu-
sion young man came to consult me
who had been a great sufferer from
Kidney and Liver troubles for many
years. He had been treated by a mum
Der of our leading physicians without
obtaining any relief, and came to me al
last resort, though with very little
faith in sny ability to effect cure.
prescribed DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root
for him, and after taking the first bot
tie his condition was materially i'm
provd. He continued the treatment
unti#he had used three bottles when he
was entirely cured and to-day he is the
picture of robust health and vitality.
Since then l have prescribed Swamp
Root for number of my patients, anG
always with the most gratifying re-
suits, and now l believe it to be- the
best remedy for all Kidney, Liver and
Bladder complaints, both chronic or
acute, known TO the world, If not ar
actual specific.
With DIR. Kilmer's U. & o. Anoint-
ment have cured the most stubborn
case of hemorrhoids, or piles, of ten
years standing. which had been pro-
nounced incurable after all the approved
remedies had been tried without avail.
1t is needless to add that experience
has confirmed my entire confidence in
DR.. Kilmer's preparations, which l fire.
quently prescribe for my patients and
Invariably with the happiest results
therefore it affords me great pleasure tc
most cordially recommend them to suf
fering humanity and to the medical pro
fession, as feel sure they will accom-
plish all and even more than is claimet
for them in every instance.

while still others prefer long scion
and long root. think the latter plan
the best, at least for a cold climate.

scion is quite deep in the ground the

growers only tie the unions together

Water In spheroidaI State.

A writer in Science states that while car
ryinR on piece of work recently which in
volved the use of a common I.iebig condens-
er it was noticed that where the stream Of
waste water fell into the water trough, the
bottom Of which was rough, small globules
of water were formed, which darted out on
all sides and ran on the surface Of the wa
ter to the sides Of the trough. eight or ten
inches distant-frequently rebounding from
the side and starting back, but soon disap-
pearing. The globules varied in size from
an eighth of an inch in diameter to very
minute. Sometimes while running along
they gradually decreased in size until they
disappeared, while others would disappear
in an instant.
In few cases the size suddenly decreased
to about one-half the original diameter, the
globule then continuing on its course with.
out further change, until at last 1t sudden
ly disappeared. Sometimes two globules
would run together, combine and continue
as one of enlarged size. In other instances,
instead Of combining they would rebound
from each other like rubber balls, this re-
bound also taking place when they ran
against an air bubble, and there was OBJ
served one globule about an eighth of an
inch in diameter, which reached the side of
the trough and rebounded, but it was re-
duced in size to about one-half OF its orig
inal diameter. 1t was an admirable illus
tration Of water in the spheroidal state

she rhourht ParIs ProrineIal.

An American girl who has lived in Paris
declares that that great metropolis is abso
lutely provincial and countrified in many
respects Here in Chicago one may go her
way undisturbed though she wears tub
on her head, but there one has to subscribe
to the traditions.
The girl in question tells how at one time
she bought pretty little felt cap, very
much like Tam o'Shanter, in the Latin
quarter. Naturally, having bought it, she
put it on her head and went out. Now 1t
seems that these particular hats were worn
only by men, though the fact did not dawn
upon the American girl until she found
herself with following of small boys who
hooted at and gibed her, and men who
spoke rudely to her, and women who
laughed tempestuously. 1t really looked
as II she would have to call closed car
Tiage in order to get home alive, but she
suddenly bethought her of more speedy
and economic plan. She snatched of the
offending cap, rolled it in her hand and
went on bareheaded. At once she ceased
to be an object of attention. The grisette,
you see, often goes bareheaded, even when
she is very nicely dressed, and so disguised
as a grisette the frank and free young
Yankee maiden" got home in beautiful
safety.
She never doomed that cap again while
she remained in Paris-never. But when
she returned to her native heath she wore
1t complacently, and still wears it when the
fancy seizes her, and no one looks at it twice
ror seems to care. Whereupon Paris seems
'countrifed by contrast, or so she says
