this card was a month behind and
we are reminded of that familiar
quotation, "April first has past and
you are the biggest fool at last" If
anyone orders their paper stopped
within the next year we will at once
conclude he is the person that sent

because we quoted this "poetry" on
him.

oAPHRs OF A GEORGIA STORM.
1t Buried Colonel Humber Under
Chimney and Exhumed Him.

Colonel Richard Malcolm johnston,
the writer OF southern plantation
sketches, tells some wonderful stories
about Georgia weather. He admits that
he would not believe them himself were
it not for his unbounded faith in every
thing Georgian in general. and his per-
sonal knowledge and unlimited conf
dence in the veracity of the men who told
him the stories in particular. II heard
them,' he said to Baltimore Sun man,
while on a visit to my old home in
Hancock County, Ga. some years ago,
and | know that they are true. We had
big storm down there about ten years
ago: the folks called it hurricane, the
weather men said it was tornado. But
hurricane or tornado, it cut some queer
old capers. Colonel Humber, over in
Putnam County, saw the storm COM
ing up, and knew it was going to be
a big one. There were a number of ladies
at his house, and of course, his first
thought was for them, so he got them all
safely in their rooms and went down into
the large hall which ran through his
house and shut the door.
Now, Colonel Humber is big man

STEEL TIES ON RAILROADS.
They Are Likely to Replace Wooden
Sleepers In Warm Countries.


The use of steel sleepers is now strongly
advocated for tropical countries where
the use of tim Der sleepers is open to many
objections. In the official report on the
projected Nom bassa- Victoria Lake Rail-
way, for opening up communication with
the interior of Africa, 1t is recommended,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch, that a gem
eral use be made of steel sleepers rather
than creosoted fir or pingado wood, for
the following reasons: A permanent way
of this construction is practically indie
structible to natives with such few me-
chanical appliances as are apt to be met
with in East Africa. The custom of fir
ing the grass at certain periods of the
year, and the temptationto use the tim
ber sleepers for fuel or hunting purposes,
would expose a line laid with timber
sleepers TO many risks White ants are
numerous in the country and commit
great ravages.
The steel sleeper has also no tendency
TO float and be carried away by flood
water, which is the case with timber.
Further, in India it has been recognized
that the initial cost of laying, and the
subsequent cost of maintenance,
is greater on a road laid with timber
than on one laid with steel sleepers.
There would be a saving of $3.50 to $3.50
per mile of permanent way by using
creOS0Ceu IlmOe lHStedu OF SIeel SIeeperS,
but this small saving does not counter
balance the liability to destruction and
the increased cost of maintenance. Gen
orally it has been thought advisable to
provide permanent way of exceptional
strength for the gauge, partly on account
of the gradients making heavy engines
desirable, partly because such road
offers in such country advantages in
maintenance, and partly because the cost
of permanent way materials and their
transport is now so low as to make reduc-
ton of its weight of less importance than
it was some years ago.

a moment or two another gust came
along. picked up the chimney and car
ried it of, and Colonel Humber crawled
back into the house.
THAT same storm went a little farther
on till it came to barn in which were
two horses, two mules and two cows.
These were in separate compartments.
With a whirl the roof of the barn was
taken off as clean as a whistle and car
ried away, and when the stock was Won

but that storm hadn't finished cutting
up it's capers. 1t struck a house in the

against the wall, having on 1t lot OF

were stenciled on the end. | am glad,

as he wiped his forehead, that the storm
didn't carry that trunk more than forty
miles. l couldn't have believed another

Georgia is great State" he continued,
"but even such storms as that do not oc-
cur often. TO prove that such queer
things do happen, there is section OF a
telegraph pole in the museum of the
State University. The pole has light
cypress shingle sticking through it, about
half of it projecting from each side. That
shingle was picked up in a storm and
blown clear through the telegraph pole
and left sticking there"

KIND AND CLEVER.
That is the Way q Los Angeles Paper
Looks at 1t.
From the Los Angeles Express.

While c. z. Huntington, President of
the Southern Pacific Company, is not
generally known as philanthropist, he
sometimes does very kind and clever
thing. and such an one was recently per-
formed in this city. The Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union of Los Angeles,
which is an excellent institution when it
does not attempt to mix up in politics,
some years ago, when everything was
booming" here, started in to erect
building, which was TO be used to carry
on the good work of temperance. The
building was completed in due time, but
it was covered by heavy debt; and when
the days came that tried mems souls the
women of the Christian Temperance
Union were not spared, and they were at
one time on the point OF losing their
building altogether. But by a strong APP
peal 10 those who sympathiZed in their
work they secured some money, and c.
P. Huntington promised that, if the sec
ond mortgage was discharged, and the
rate of interest on the first mortgage re-
duced, he would contribute thousand
dollars to assist in raising the debt. This
gave the ladies courage to go on with the
work, and they succeeded in fulfilling
the conditions, or so near 1t that thou
sand dollars more would fulfill them. A
few days ago Mr.. Huntington, through
William II. Mills, passed his check i'll
favor of Mrs. Lucy D. More for the pur-
poses of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union Building Association OF Los
Angeles.

What She knew About Rome.

At a woman's club in q neighboring
city last winter the subject for the after
noon papers and talk was Rome"
Toward the close of the meeting the
President said 81 notice among the out
of-town guests to-day Mrs. b., who has
recently returned from a European trip,
two months of which were spent in the
Eternal City. We should be glad if she
would give US few words OF her i'm
pressions while there"
And Mrs. b. stood UP, well-dressed,
fine-looking figure, and began: Ladies'
and members. 1t is true, as your Presi-
dent has said, that | spent about ten
weeks in Rome lately, but am not sure
that l have any impressions to add to
what has been said. TO tell the truth, we
met almost on the day OF arrival some
English friends who were staying the
winter there, and, really, we drove with
them so constantly and spent so much
time in their rooms that my ideas of
Rome relate chiefly to our enjoyment of
these friends"
And with a pretty, apologize little
laugh the speaker sat down, with quite
an air of having made relnark.-N. Y.

Rare Eecs of Rirds.

Among the rare eggs OF birds still liv-
ing that of the red-winged grosbeak is
probably the most valuable, a we'll
marked set being worth anywhere be-
tween 81, 500 and 5000. At recent auc-
tion sale of geological rarities in London
fine set of golden eagles eggs, two in
number, were ''knocked down" at S75,
and SIS were exchanged evenly for one
egg of the swallow tailed kite. The egg
of the Pallas sand grouse is usually
quoted by dealers in natural history spec
linens at about s., but there are excep-
tions to this as to all other rules. 1t is an
Asiatic species and was never known to
nest farther west than India until the
year 1850, when set was taken in Eng
land. The identity of both bird and eggs
was certain, and the egg collectors went
wild forthwith. The first offered ten
times the market value of such eggs, but
competition was so lively that they there
were two of them) were finally sold for

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
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, 160 and 800 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions. as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for thress 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 is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with In
terest at the rate of z 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 $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices 10 CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peciaIly 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
homeseekers that this is az opportunity for
the purchase Of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO 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 large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
