The Coast Line Railroad.

DR.. Nichols returned yesterday from
his regular circuit of the railroad camps
and reports the army of laborers still on
hand and just now doing great work.
The heavy rains of the last two weeks
made it impossible to do anything out
of doors, but of course the tunnel work
went on just as usual. The ground was
so thoroughly soaked that it was even
difficult to ride over the hills,
and digging was an impossible
ity. In the last few days the
ground has dried up pretty well,
and yesterday every available man ap-
parently was throwing dirt. 1t was un-
derstood that another big storm was
predicted by the signal service at San
Francisco which it was claimed would
be the heaviest storm OF the season, and
was said to be due on the 28th, but from
the best information that we can get,
we judge the report to be fake" We
hope go for the general good. We have
had all the water in ours that we re-
ouire.-San Luis Obispo Tribune.

Pruning Roses.

It is always better to prune roses early
in the winter rather than to wait till
spring, for the reason that there is
large amount of evaporation during
frosty weather from the unripe wood,
and this evaporation is drawn from the
more solid portions of the stems, as well
as from the portion which is unripe,
says the Elsinore Press. A
second pruning will be neces-
sary before The bud bursts in
the spring. as, in more cases, there will
be some portions injured during the
winter, in spite of the earlier precau-
tions taken. Again the thin and weaker
wood should be cut out, as this gives
more strength to that which is left, Gays
Mehan's Monthly.
as general principle also in pruning
it Is much better to prune early than to
prune late, for the reason suggested in
the last paragraph. Different classes of
roses require different systems of prun-
ing. Those which flower from vigorous
young wood may be pruned rather ee-
yerely but those which seem to form
flower buds from the old wood
to a great extent should have
the branches left on. Noieette roses,
for instance, usually flower at the ends
of the young growth, and this is the
class that may be pruned in severely;
while roses like the prairie roses and the
hybrid perpetuals require to be prGned
long, because most of the flowers are
produced on short branches.-[ Elmlra

On lands suited to their growth there

Some growers assert that only near the

suits; while others, notably Mr.. Felix
Gillett, msintains that the walnut may
be profitably grown over q much wider
area, extending to attitudes of 1000 feet
or more and to distances quite remote
from the sea. A Santa Ana writer to en-

The walnut crop of this region within

people predict q great drop in prices.

Dishonesty at Church Fairs.

To charge from fifty cents to one dol
lar for boutonniere which represent
ed only the cost of picking the flowers
out of the fields, is robbery pure and
simple, writes Edward w. Box in lat
Home with the Editor" in the Septern-
ber Ladies' Journal. On two different
occasions that I distinctly remember

five cents actual worth of flowers, |

that was overcharged, but must be
twice robbed, and this, in each in
stance, in church and in the name OF
charity Is it any wonder, ask, that
it is so difficult TO induce men to attend
bazaars and fairs? They know what Is
in store for them if they attend. They
know that the innocent "25 cent ad.
mission" represents an exit costing all
the way from $40 to S25, proportion to
their good nature. am calling this
practice by its proper name, because L
think it is time that the great and no.
ble works done for honest charity in
this country should not be asked to suf-
fer, as mauy of them are undoubtedly
suffering to-day, from this and other
forms of abuse practiced in the name
of charity. And I do not believe that
the managers of charitable fairs really
have an accurate realization of the rap
idIy-growing aversion on the part OF
men for these events. Ifthey had this
knowledge 1 think they would apply
the remedy without delay.

Cultivate Refinement.

Do not draw into your shell. So
much is to be gained by contact with
the outside world. The influence of
the social current has the same effect
upon human nature as that produced
by the constant friction of the sea
upon the pebbles on the beach. Rough
corners are polished and sharp angles
smoothed down into symmetrical pro-
portions. But it is not enough to he
simply in the swim. One must, to be
happy, cultivate that society which ell
evats and ennobles. Seek relaxation
for mind and body among set of peo-
pie who hold broad views of living.
Narrow-minded men and women, and
the world ia full of them, will only
give you distorted ideas of life, that
will change the sunniest and most
healthful disposition into one morose,
churlish, and ill-natured. Be careful,
then, whom you choose for your COM
panions.-Standard.

Reverence Your Pastor.

In all congregations there are fonnd
members who wonder and complain
because of their PASTORS want of splr-
itual power and influence over thelr
children, when the fault is IN them
selves, and not in him at all. They
have commented unfavorahly so often
before their children upon the pastors
and upon his person, that
the Young people have lost all respect
for and interest in him. My brother,
perhaps you do not know it, but by
your unworthy life and unchrlstian
structures you have taken the life out
of many sermon, so far as your fam
ily is concerned, and entirely prevent
ed it's being the power of God unto
their salvation or their instruction.
Will you ever learn that sermon Is
Gods message to you and yours, ana
simply because there are imperfectlons
in its form, or in the messenger, you
have no right to cheaper its value or
weaken Its authority? Bishop Baker
once said in my hearing: "1 look for
the good in every sermon, and try TO
overlook that which is imperfect; and
it is a very poor sermon indeed from
which I cannot get some food and
some help" If you desire to get the
most possible good for yourself and
your children out of your pastor, al:
ways speak respectfully of him and
his work. 10 do otherwise is unman-
ly as we'll as unchristion it is also un-
businesslike, for it will entirely pre-
vent your getting any adequate le'
turns from whatever investment you
have made him.-Northern Christian
Advocate.

Don't Make n Mistake e.

There are two sides to every man, a
good side and bad one; and we can
look at that side of him which we
choose to look at, and estimate him ac-
cordingly. If we look at his better
traits Of character, and at his more at
tractive way of showing them, we
shall see much in him to commend
and admire. But if we look at his
faults and defects, and fix our thoughts
on his more disagreeable ways, he will
seem to US unlovely and repellent.
1t is practically impossible for us to
Judge man with absolute irnpartlality
giving the good and bad in him their
relative proportions in his character
as q whole. But it is better for US to
give prominence in our minds to q
mans good traits than to his bad CUES
for his truer measure is found in his
highest reach, rather than his lowest
level. All of US start on q low plane,
and it is our truest selves that aspire to
rise Godward. If, therefore, we look
at the evil remaining in man instead
of at the good to which he has already
attained, at his drawbacks and defects
instead of at his upreachings and striv-
ing toward nlSu luea!, we w ulul
positive injustice and we fail of know
ing him as he Is. Our whole estimate
of q man will sometimes be changed as
in a moment If we are induced by love
or gratitude to look at the lights on his
character and personality, instead of at
the shades. And for this change in our
opinion of one with whom we are res
donsible, and not he. Are we making
any mistake, just now, in our estimate
of whom our opinion is still unfavora-

GRAINS.

Going gently about q thing won't
hinder its being done.
Politeness sometimes hurts an enemy
more than savage words.
You can boast of noble blood when
YOU are the hero of noble deeds.
Go to the devil in your private life
and your business will follow YOU.
We have nothing to do with our
past, but to get future out OF it.
Whatever makes good men good
Christians, makes them good citizens.
A sound discretion is not so much
indicated by never making mistake
as by never repeating it.
The way to wealth is as plain as the
way to market; 1t depends chiefly on
two words Industry and frugality.
There is no such thing as chance,
and what to us seem accidenC springs
from the deepest source of destiny.
There has never been man strong
enough to keep his mouth shut when
he should, without Gods help.
If you keep the knowledge Of Gods
goodness to yourself, your own heart
will soon begin to shrivel up.
There is no transcendent power in
example. We reform others uncon-
sciously when we walk uprightly.
Let US with caution indulge the
supposition that morality can be
maintained without religion.
To love God makes man want to
give. To love the devil makes him
want to keep.
Some people might find time for
helping one another if they were not
so busy helping themselves.
Our friends should take the plain.
ness of enemies in accusing, and still
mingle 1t with the tenderness and
good affections of friends.
Nothing so cleary discovers a
spiritual man as his treatment Of an
erring brother, wishing to restore,
rather than to npbraid him.
Do the duty Which lies nearest thee,
which thou knowest to be duty.
Thy second duty will already have
become clearer.
1t won't do to make treaties of peace
with some of our sins and ask God to
deliver us from the rest. We must
be willing to heve them all slain.
There is no action Of man in this
lite which is not the beginning of a
long chain of consequences, as that
no human providence is high en- ough
to give us prospect to the end.
1t does US good to admire what is
good and beautiful; but it does US in
finitely more good to love it. I'VE
grow like what we admire; but we
become one with what we love.
The brotherhood of man is truth
which needs as much emphasis now
as in the days of Paul. If it was
rightly recognized, the great chasm be.
tween classes would be bridged.
