REDDING, April The outlook for the
fruit crop is excellent, with perhaps a
falling off of apricots, owing to cold
weather following the poisoning. The
excessive rainfall has retarded blowing
of the bottom lands and the grain crop is
liable to be light in consequence. Sowed
grain looks well. Unless severe frosts
come soon, the peach crop will be good.

CURIOUS SEAWEED.

Vegetable Roa Constructors OF the south
Pacific Ocean.
Portions of the South Pacific ocean
produce wonderful species of the sea-
weed called the vegetable boa con-
strictor." According to recent pub
lished accounts they are likely to be
met with at any point between the
lower point of southern California and
the Sandwich Islands on the one side
and between Chile and Australia on the
other. These vinc-lilze strangers are
frequently found tightly cntwined
about the body of dead whale, shark
Or porpoise, but whether they had fast
ened upon the bodies of these dead sea
animals before life had Become extinct,
or had only ventured TO attack the re-
mains after the vital spark had fed, are
conundrums which, of course, cannot
be answered. Experiments made with
this curious vine and the carcass of q
oorpoiSe washed ashore in the harbor
at Apia tend to prove that the vine,
like that OF our common bean,
will not cntwine itself around any
thing dead, whether that thing be of
vegetable or animal creation. DIR. Chad
bourne, in his Annals of the Caroline
islands," says: II have often seen
monster specimens of macricystis (the
giant seawecdl with every vestige OF
| life squeezed out of them by that ocean
demon, the 'constrictor' vine, which is
itselfa species of Seaweed. Macricystis
often grows to be from twenty to thirty
inches in diameter and 1900 to 1000
feet in length, while the constructor
seldom reaches 100 feet in length,
and is never larger in diam
eter than pound and half
salmon can, 1t is the squeeze snake
of the ocean, however, and woe to the
uniucky man, animal or plant that
comes within its reach" At Apia the
piles driven in the harbor all show
| marks like those You have seen made
by the ivy on forest trees-marks which
the natives gravely inform you were
made by the constructor vine. Cases
wherein human beings are said to have
lost their lives as a result of coming in
contact with the vegetable boa con-
strictor are like the cases OF death at
tributed to centiped es and tarantulas-
often reported but seldom conclusively
proven. Louis Republic

THE OKLAHOMA RUSH.
Humorous Bits of Personal History On
That Race for Homes.

Humorous Bits OF Personal History On
That Race for Homes.
Everyone who knows the story of the
Oklahoma boom, when thousands of
men and women rushed into Indian
Territory by permission of the govern
ment to stake out claims there; but it
has been left for Richard Harding Davis
to set down for us the little humorous
bits of personal history which are like
salt to porridge. Twenty-Five hundred
people alighted from the first train from
the south, and stampeded wildly over
the prairie, driving in their little stakes,
changing their minds, and driving the
stakes over again in some other spot
When the second train came in, the
sight OF so many early birds" seemed
to drive the newcomers almost frantic,
and they fell over one another in their
haste; indeed, their race for the choicest
lots was like a run on bank when no
one knows exactly where the bank is.
One young woman was in such haste
to alight that she crawled out of the
car window, and as soon as she reached
the ground, drove in her stake, and
claimed all the land round it This was
part of the military reservation, and
the soldiers so explained to her; but she
was suspicious of everyone, and re-
manned seated by her wooden peg until
nightfall
Another woman stuck up a sign bear
ing the words, "a Soldiers Widows
Land" and was quite confident that
- crowd would respect that title She
was assured tina; she had no right &c
the spot and was offered lot still I'M
claimed; but she refused to move. The
street in the center of the town, and
the one she was finally forced TO take,
after her long delay, is on the prairie,
three miles out Of the city.
Still another woman drove in hei
stake between the railroad ties, and
said it would take locomotive and .
train of cars to move her; and a man
put his stake in the very center of the
lot sites laid out by the surveyors, and
claimed the surrounding hundred and
sixty acres for his holding.
He was told that he could only have
as much land as would make a lot in
the town site, and that if he wanted a
hundred and sixty acres he must locate
it outside the city limits. He replied
that the proclamation said nothing
about town sites.
But of course, he went on, eff you
people want to build city round my
farm, I've no objection. l don't care
for city life myself, and I'm going tc
turn this into a vegetable garden
Maybe, though, if you want it very
bad, might sell it."
For months he fought out the ques
ton with the government, and is
possibly fighting it to this day

Several TASKS were handed to him,
but no money. The train began to
move, and the tramp slid out to settle
himself on a truck once more.
Ten miles out of Colorado Junction,
and in desert the train was brought
to a sudden halt. There was scufiie
under the smoking car, and the tramp
was drrgged out.
Guess a ten-mile walk tonight i'll
make you less careless about stealing

as he swung on the train and signalled

Tame Jackdaws.

Mr.. Green, an English naturalist,
records n tale about pair of jackdaws
kept by him at his home in South
Devon years ago. They had been taken
from the nest and during the first
summer their wings were slightly
clipped. Afterward their wings were
allowed to grow, and they lived at full
liberty in the garden. They were per-
fectly tame, and would come at call
and feed out of the hand, and in the
morning knock at the windows TO ask
for some breakfast. Regularly in the
spring they flew away and joined their
wild companions, made their nests and
reared family. But when this was
over they came back to the garden
again, and were as tame as ever But
the curious thing was that after one or
two seasons they brought another jack
daw with them, presumably the young
Of one of them, which was just as tame
as themselves, although nothing had
ever been done to tame it, so that it
was impossible to tell which were the
original favorites and which was the
new one. Moreover, when after a few
years one of these jackdaws was acci-
ientally killed, another was brought

THE FASHIONABLE VEIL.

Advice to the Woman who Buys These
Dainty Feminine Belongings.
Wells now are never worn above the
chin, but are bought by the yard, al
lowing the fullness to fall in soft, be-
coming folds around the throat The
fish-net yelling with chenille dots is the
most becoming if the meshes are not
too coarse or too close together
In selecting a veil as great if not
greater care should be employed than
when buying hat 1t should be tied
over the face before purchasing, for
there are certain kinds that can turn a
pretty woman into positive fright,
while others make a plain one very at
tractive looking.
A blue veil should only be worn by a
woman of high color, for the tint has a
tendency to increase ones pallor. The
bordered wells, unless adjusted with
great nicely, give the impression of too
great length to the face. This style is
gradually becoming less popular, as
they are not nearly as becoming as
those bought by the yard, which have
no bordering and rely only on their full
ness for dainty finish.
For ladies in mourning the made wells
in net, with a border of crepe, are in
many cases worn entirely to the exclu-
sion of the longer ones that were once
considered requisite to show the depth
of ones grief. These long and cumber-
some affairs cause genuine martyrdom
for the woman who elects to wear
them. They drag on the bonnet until
every time they are put on one is GER
tain of headache, to say nothing of the
awbardness they impose by having to
be out of the reach of every one who
might by chance sit on them, thus tear
ing the bonnet back, while the hat pins
drag up every individual hair in tortur-
ing agony.
Jetted wells are bad for the eyes in
fact dotted effects all are, but so long
as they are fashionable women will
continue to wear them, eyesight or no
eyesight Figures of any sort should
be religiously eschewed, as fern leaf
Or butterfly, though pretty and decora-
| tive in themselves, lose all those quail
lies when set in the middle of a wo-
! mans forehead or on the end of her
lose.-Chicago Times.

NOTHING MUCH IN A NAME.
The Way in Which Southern Negroe,
Change Their Patronymies.

The Way In whIcA Southern Negree,
Change Their Patronymies.
Amongst the negroes of the south,
particularly in the rural sections, nc
Importance whatever is attached to a
name. John Smith of to-day may be
Thomas jefferson tomorrow, and
George Washington next month, and
something else two weeks later. Such
changes excite no comment, and are re-
garded as matters of course. If the
darby should be prominent in his
church-and most of them are-he
naturally prefers to retain, in that con-
nection, an identity with the name
under which he Joined the church.
So his church name" may remain
unchanged for three or four years, or
even longer, though there may be half
a dozen changes of the name by which
he is known to his neighbors and asso-
ciatcs The name under which he
leases his farm may be entirely differ
ent from his church name. This also,
for length of time measured by his
contract, is fixed and Interchangeable,
constituting what may be termed his
legal identity, as opposed to his church
identity.
So it is quite common Occurrences
that one colored citizen has three or
more names at one time, to say nothing
of the names he has had and discarded
Got any mail fer Isaac Westers?" he
asked the postmaster
mo" "
ANY fer George webbp" -
mo"
Martin Luther?"
mo"
John Williams?"
NO. How many people are you get
ting mail for to-day?"
''Jes one. Jes me. Denis all my
name. Bill Wesley is my name row.
Got any fer dat name, Capn?"
This is common scene at some re-
mote post Office in the backwoodS
Mail comes once week The negro
never got letter in his life, but he al
! ways stops when passing by to ask for
il. The country lover, who sends and
receives at least two letters regularly
every week, TO say nothing of an occa-
! sional newspaper or advertising circu-
Lar, is not more punctual or persistent
in his inquiries at the post Office. Half
an hour later, on his way back home,
the same negro will stop again to ask
for mail for himself and aliases,
you know the mail don't come 'cept
on Satday," the postmaster says
Thought mebbe somebody mout er
come by fun de station an orung long
some mail"
"Weil, If he had they wouldn'er been
any for you. | have be . here eight
year an you amt never got any mail
yit"
Whcreupon Bill Wesley goes off
grumbling, vaguely resenting the re
mark as slur upon his citizenship
protesting his right to ask for mail just
as often as he happens to be con-
seniently near the post office. Y.

PRINCESS KAIULANI.
The Niece of the Deposed Queen of the
Hawaiian Islands Arrives in
New York.
She Has Come to See the Kind and
Manner of People Who Want
Her Island Home.

New YORK, March Princes Kaiu-
lani. niece Of the deposed Queen Liliuo-
kalani of Hawaii, is here. She arrived
today on the steamer Teutonic. With
her were Theophilus Davies and Mrs.
Davies, who are the English guardians
of the princess; Miss Dawes and Miss
Whartotf, companions to the princess.
i. G.. McFarlane, ex-ministcr of finance
to the dethroned queen, and DR.. Motts-
moth, the present Hawaiian minister to
this country, went down the bay on the
revenue cutter Chandler to meet the
young princess. They boarded the ship
Immediately after she left the health
officers station. There was quite al
army Of curiosity seekers on the pier to
get glimpse of the princess a suite
of rooms had been engaged for the party
at the Brevoort house. ana they were
driven there Immediately after coming
Oft the steamship.
The princess had to come to the
United States, she said, more for the
purpose of heariug and observing for
herself the nature of the people who had
been asked to take control of her coun-
try, than to make Il formal petition for
her crown.
