AYonnr Ornnre Treels BIg FruIt.

The capabilities Of the ojai valley in
regard to citrus fruits cannot be better
illustrated than by viewing a box Of
Washington navel oranges left at the
Ojai office last Monday by W. Il. Whsle,
whose ranch is the furthermost one at
the eastern end Of the valley. In the
box were thirteen oranges, the entire
crop Of a two-year-old bud. The small
est one Of the oranges measured 10Y
inches in circumference, and weighed
ten ounces the largest one measured l2b
inches and weighed just one podnd. The
total circumference If the thirteen
oranges was twelve feet tour and three
quarter inches; tho total weight nine
pounds ten ounces. Old orange raisers
know that this is precocious work
for a tree two years old; it would have
been robbed Of its fruit early in the
season il It had not been selected for an
experiment. A close watch of this same
tree will be kept next year, and results
reported for the benefit Of the public

Clever SnrgerK.

William Frey, who resides on Wash
ington avenue, Newport, Ky, has a ten
year old daughter who was afflicted with
a compound club foot. The bones were
twisted and the foot turned to such an
angle that the girl walked on the side Of
her ankle and the toes pointed directly
up. A local surgeon ives asked to do
something. He opened the foot and re.
moved the bones, leaving a large hole in
the foot. To remedy this the surgeon
killed a large chicken, and taking the
thigh bones sawed them to fit the spaces
left by the removal of the foot bones.
Antiseptics were applied, the i~ncision
closed aud sewed up, and after the foot
had been placed in proper position it
was made firm by splints and left alone.
The other day the splints were removed,
when it was found the chicken bones
had grown to the human bone, and the
foot is now both slightly and useful. 1t
is said to be the first case of the kind on
record.-St. Louis Republic.

She Dresses Dogs.

A dog tailor flourishes in Paris. This
tailor is a woman, and her reception
rooms cunningly cater to both mistress
and pet. Here Prince BOw-wow has
rugs, water bowls and biscuit jars, to re-
fresh him during the trying-on processes.
Here are the daintiest water-oolor pat
tern books to choose from, and anything
from sealskin to chamois is provided. A
green b~roadcloth lined and edged with
seal, is a blanket that especially becomes
milady's greyhound; but scarlet, edged
with silver cordings and lined with
quilted satin, is a gay coat for the toy
terrier. A tailor.made doggie, with a

Sara McDonough Gets q ver-

The fury in the case OF Catharine D. MacKin-
non vs. the Oregon Improvement Company,
which was tried before Judge Hantord. and in
which the plaintiff claimed 10000 damages for
bodily injuries, returned . verdict for the
defendant yesterday afternoon.
The testimony was concluded by the middle of
the day. and it was testified TO that the dock was
urlishted and the night extremely dark: that
there was 10 railing on the dock, but a low
guard or fender between the passageway and the
edge OF the dock; also that there were number
OF obstructions on the dock, and that one OF the
officers OF the steamer Northern Pacific indicated
TO the defendant the direction to take in going
ashore; that the steamer was owned by other
parties than the Oregon improvement Company,
and that the officers of the boat were not the
iatter's agents. Mrs. Mackinnon also admitted
that she had climbed over several distractions
before she reached the edge of the dock and fell
TO the ground.
Judge Hsnford in his charge told the Jury that

NaEabe Zachariah commenced action against

nou.
The facts which led TO this suit are briefly as

.Zachariah, who represented himself as having
authority from George TO receive it Gaor &c
claims that Zschariah, for purposes of
his own, kept this letter in his possession
for two weeks, although he met him
daily. This is denied by Zachariah, who claims
that the letter remained In his hands but a few
days. On January George appeared before
United states Commissioner C. ID. Emery and
iwore out complaint against Zachariah on the
charge OF taking the letter from the custody of
T. M!thrsge. intending TO abstract the contents
anu pry into Georges business and secrets. An
immediate trial was denied on account OF the
absence OF witnesses, and In consequence Zach
srish was obliged 10 give $500 bail 10 appear for

Judge Emery decided that the prosecution did
