EVERY WORD TRuE.
More Words of Praise spoken than Pub

The strong letters of recommendation
and experiences which have so frequently
appeared In the various daily papers,
excited the curiosity of the Editor of the

New York Bankers win Furnish the
Treasury with Gold.
NEW YoHK, April 29.-The sun says It
was learned yesterday on good authority
that at the meeting Of Secretary Carlisle
with the New York bank presidents he was
assured of their willingness to come to the

The terms on which the gold is to be
furnished were left open 1t was also
agreed by all present that the uneasiness
based upon the intreuchment upon the
81 600 600 gold reserve fund was only sem
timeutal, and chat at this time there was
no necessity for q bond issue or of a gold
loan to the treasury,
The meeting was most cordial one
and all agreed that the actual meeting Of
the secretary with the bankers was most
satisfactory.

Cashmere shawls.

One day we went to town to visit a
mandatory of Cashmere sEawls. After
a terribly unattractive approach. we again
clambered up some stairs and emerged
into a large room, full of looms, with
about forty men all hard at work. One
we especially watched. tie had in front
of him nearly a thousand Shuttles of diff
ferent shades, and out of these he would
select one and thread it through as many
of the fine strands stretched tightly be-
fore him as his pattern directed, and alter
so doing he pulled toward him d heavy
bar. which pushed the last little cross
thread quite tight, before putting in the
next.
In old days one man used to read out
the pattern to all the rest, but now each
has his own design on a slip of paper in
front of him. 1t is said that the waVy
line, so often seen in these shawls, was
originally taken from the curves of the
Jhelum. 1t took four months, we were
told, for two men to do seven inches of
this work. one yard wide, working from
8 O'Clock In the morning till in the
evening every day, so it was hardly to
be wondered at that two yards should
cost nearly El00.
AS we left the workroom, so glad to ex-
change its heated atmosphere for cooler
breath of air, it was impossible to check
the obvious thought of the contrast such
lives are to our own. We mingled with
the gayly-dressed crowd gathered to seea
polo tournameutan and our thoughts strayed
back to that sitting room, with its cease
less monotony and perpetual grind, where
men, more like machines, wove hour
after hour varying hues of color into one
harmonious whole. And yet the old
simile would also assert itself that we,
too, in one sense, are hour by hour work
ing in the tiny threads that go to make up
the pattern and colors OF our lives. The
whole design, however, does not lie open
before US, but is mercifully withheld by
an all-wise Master hand.-The Cornnill
Magazine.

A Wonderful TImekeeper.

One of the most wonderful timekeepers
known to the horologist was made in
London about 100 years ago and sent by
the President of the East India Company
as a gift to the Emperor of China. The
case was made in the form of chariot,
in which was seated the figure of a
woman. This figure was of pure ivory
and gold, and sat with her right hand
resting upon tiny clock fastened to the
side of the vehicle. A part of the wheels
which kept track of the flight of time
were hidden in the body Of tiny bird,
which had seemingly just alighted upon
the lady's finger. Above was canopy
so arranged as to conceal silver bell
This bell was fitted with a miniature
hammer of the same metal and, although
it appeared TO have no connection with
the clock, regularly struck the hours, and
could be made to repeat by touching a
diamond button on the lady's bodice. In
the chariot at the ivory Iady's feet there
was golden figure of a dog, and above
and in front were Two birds, apparently
flying before the chariot. This beautiful
ornament was made almost entirely of
gold and was elaborately decorated with
precious stones.

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has res
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 $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 16o and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pcy-
ment of interest only for three years, at which
tins the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part OF the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser ts to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments. with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over 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-
peeially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
bome-seekers that this is az opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre. and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SIC 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 a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
