ssreraI shades of Green.

In Morrison, his, there lives a gentle
man by the name of Green. It is now
some 20 years since Mr.. Green became
the delighted father of an infant daugh-
ter. In a moment of gay Righteousness,
inspired by his joy, he named the baby
Olive. 1t was not many years before Mr..
Green was once more father. Again
it was an infant daughter, and the sub
tie poison of that first christening Eav-
ing worked in his blood he named the
second one Myrtle. A third time the
joys of paternity became Mr.. Green's,
and third infant daughter was added
to his household. The father set his
teeth grimly, got out the family Bible,
and wrote in firm hand, Ivy Green.
He Furthermore assured his friends that
if he should be presented with son and
heir he should look out for the young
ster's future by naming him Apple
Green" foI then no daughter of Eve
could ever resist him.-Exchange.

Americas Only FrostIsss belt.

What is supposed to be the only frost
less belt in the United States lies be-
tween the city Of Los Angeles and the
Pacific ocean. 1t traverses the foothills
of the Cahuenga range and has an ele-
walton of between 200 and 400 feet. In
breadth it Is perhaps three miles. The
waters of the Pacific are visible from
it, and the proximity Of the ocean has
of course something to do with Danish
ing frosts. During the winter season
this tract produces tomatoes, peas,
beans and other tender vegetables, and
here the lemon hourishes, tree that is
peculiarly susceptible to cold. Tropical
trees may be also cultivated with sue
cess, and in connection with this fact it
is interesting TO know that a part of the
favored territory has been acquired by
Los Angeles for park purposes, and it
is only aquestion of time when the city
will have the unique distinction of pos
sessing the only tropical park in the
United States. Strange to say, only
the midway region of the Cahuenga
range is free from frost, the lower part
Of the valley being occasionally visited.

yalue of Good Cooking.

We masculines have yet to learn that
the kitchen is the most important end Of
the household If that goes wrong, the
whole establishment is wrong. 1t de-
cides the health of the household, and
health settles almost everything. Heavy
bread, too great frequency of plum pud-
ding, mingling of lemonade and Gus.
tards. unmasticable beef, have decided
the fate of sermons, Legislative bills an,
destiny of empires. The kitchen knife
has often cut off the brightest prospects.
The kitchen gridiron has often consumed
a commercial enterprise. The kitchen
kettle has kept many good man in hot
water. 1t will never be fully known
how much the history of the world was
affected by good or bad cookery. Nash.

involves the distribution of wealth as
well as its mere existence. Most Amer
leans have to work; but, as is we'll
known, considerable proportion of
English people toll not nor spin, and
make no pretense of doing anything tor
living. Is that because the English
are richer than we, or is it matter of
taste or result of primogeniture? So
also it appears-trom close study of
documents submitted by Anthony Troll
lope and other contemporaneous histo-
rians--that British gentlemen in re-
spectacle circumstances employ from
five to fifty servants and have several
houses apiece, all of which they live in,
and travel much besides. An Ameri-
can who lives in that way is looked
upon as man of very exceptional re-
sources, but it would seem that an Eng
lish gentleman who does not live i'll that
way is thought to be somewhat strait
ened. In England there are 800 or 400
hunt clubs, and something like 20, 900
Britishers ride pretty regularly to
hounds. But hunting is an expensive
sport that takes both time and money.
THESE English seem to have both to
spare.
A returned traveller was speaking of
the shoals of agreeable English people
he met in the Riviera and in all the
play places of southern Europe. When
asked if they were rich people, he said
not, but that they were able to live as
they did because they knew how and
got their moneys worth. He thought,
too, that the we'll to do English had
more complete domestic apparatus ready
to hand than most Americans and
could spend larger proportion of their
incomes on travel and amusement.
Houses and furniture and such expen-
sive vanities they had already by in
heritance and were not compelled to
spend useful money in providing them.
Regarding the English habit of pub.
fishing novels in three bound volumes
would the American buy novels in such
costly form? Are net all the habits of
living that we borrow from the British,
from dock tailed horses to indoor men
servants, more costly than the customs
they supersede? They must have great
deal of money to spend, those enterpris-
ing islanders. No one would hesitate
to say that the Americans are richer
than the Russians, or the Italians, or
the Germans. or even the thrifty French,
but the Briton gives US pause. Is he
really richer than we are or il be mera.

A Tudor Gallant.

A gallant's toilet was no easy bust
ness, and slow or clumsy servant, no
doubt, got many an oath and blow if he
failed to tie up the points of the hose,
lace the dorblet or arrange the stom-
acher and frilled shirt to his masters
satisfaction. A gentleman's dress had
so many fastenings, there was so much
tying and lacing of his garments to-
gether, that it was impossible that he
should ever get costumed (sic) without
assistance. The long hose had to be Sc
curely tied by number of latchets 10

TELEPHONE LINE.
Messrs. Bailey s. casey Will
Commences Work In Hbout
Two Weeks.

Messrs. Bailey & Casey returned
last night from Chicago where they
went to purchase machines and
material for the telephone line in this
city.
They have secured the phones
from the Western Construction Tele-
phone company and right to use
them in this city. The company al
SO guarantees that they have not
infringed on other patents and will
protect them against all litigation.
An automatic switch of the most
approved style will be used and does
away with a central office. -
The first ones to take advantage
OF the telephone system will get
them much cheaper than those who
wait until the line is in operation.
The rates for the first phones will be
$3.50 per month for residences and
$3.50 for business places.
The system to he used here is
guaranteed to be first-class in every
particular and has been tested be-
tween Chicago and New York. The
switch used is a new thing but
wherever it is in use it has proved a
success.
1t the weather is favorable they
will commence work on the line in
about two weeks. They will solicit
subscribers next week and will
hardly feel warranted in investing
much money in it unless they can
get at least forty customers. There
is also some talk of having telephone
with Rich Prairie.

April.

The first month of Spring was
named April by the Romans because,
as one of them expressed it, comma
aperit''-it opens all things. 1t is in
this month that nature lin the

winter slumber, throws of the icy
letters that have bound her, and
testifies her Joy at meeting the return

and buds, promise Of flowers and
fruits to come. And along with the
rousing of nature, man, too, shakes
OFF the tOrpOr Of winter, comes forth
from his Information by the coal
stove or the steam radiator, and
starts on his travels either for bust
ness or pleasure. The first day :Of
this month is known far and wide
as All FOOLS Day, but, generally as
it is thus known, the reason for the
appellation is much in doubt. Some
