Wrote a Death-Bed Remembrance.

In the Century, Professor II. H. Boye-
sen writes an interesting sketch OF the
mother of the Russian novelist, Tour
guenetf. Her life was one long tempest of
passion, filled with cruelty to her serfs
and abuse OF her children.
Her constant occupation in her declin-
ing years was playing at solitaire
Though she was suffering from dropsy,
and consulted the most famous physi-
clans, she blandly disregarded their
dietetic rules, and followed her own
sovereign whiIn. For long time she ate
nothing but grapes, and finally her diet
consisted solely of ice cream. For enter
tainment her daughter read aloud to her
the latest French novels. Before her
death. on November 10, 1850. she sent
for her sons, who both fastened to her
bedside. But only Nicholas found his
mother alive. When Ivan arrived she
had already expired. Before drawing
her last breath, she serawled these lines
on piece of paper.
My mother, my children, forgive mel
And thou, Lord, forgive me too; for
pride-that mortal sin-was always my
cardinal sin.'

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, Tor the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces l9nds from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, TO
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre. in subdivisions OF
30, so, 12O, 16O and $50 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 Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal am
nual installments. Thus part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which 20
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 SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peeialIy adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement viii prove to
homc-see1ers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 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.

Tourgueneff' Mother Rose Superio
TO Church and State.

Tourgueneff's Mother Rose Superior
to Church and State.
In the Century Hjalmar Hjorth Boye-
sen gives graphic picture of the mother
of Ivan Tourguenetf, the great Russian
novelist. Madame IourgueneH was a
typical Russian noblewoman, OF arrogant
pride and terrible temper. Her abuse of
her son, Mr.. Boyesen thinks, left endur

whereupon, snatching the prayer-b book
out of the hands OF the priest, she began
in loud voice to reclte the prescribed
prayers.
When she had finished, the priest not
daring to interfere, she turned toward her
servants and said, Pardon me''; and

On another occasion she feigned illness,
and gathered her household consisting of
forty house-servants, not counting the
boy pages and an army of field laborors)

sentiments toward her. All except two
who were tritie tipsy, manifested the

to the Democrats. They were sworn en-

way-predicted barrel of fun. Their
antipathy was pronounced and open.
They dlsliked each other with genuine
cordiality. The fun began as soon as
both felt warm in their seats. Whenever
Costello was called to the chair, Breen
would be sure to do something that
would irritate his opponent, and when
ever Breen presided Costello would find
an occasion to make the other feel ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable. Every body,
OF course, had an interest in stimulating
their mutual hostility TO the utmost.

His wife said she had none, as he had
failed to give her any of his earnings. and

thrash the woman beater, when he took
