"Will an incubator hatch before hen

Book-Lover and Bookbfnder.

1t is very difficult 10 indicate the pro b.
able line of bibliopegic development.
Only after many vain effort do we ever
attain the goal of our desires. Setting
our faces TO the future, we must let the
dead past bury its dead, and we must
give uD the lifeless imitation of defunct
styles. Greater variety is needed, greater
freedom also, such as some of the other
decorative arts have achieved of late
years. The duty of the book-lover is
equal to that of the bookbinder; they
must needs work together for the advance
of the art For their collaboration to be
pregnant the book-lover must educate
himself IN the possibilities and in the
technical limitations Of the art. Every
architect will confess that he has had
many a practical suggestion from his
clients, and more than often from the
wives of his clients; and the influence OF
the book-lover on the book binder can be
even more Observation-Disclosures Matthews

Good Agricultural A Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres Of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for tbs
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 SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
90, so, 12O, 160 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 for three years, at which
time 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 10
pay five equal annual installments, with iIl-
terest at the rate OF per cent per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
surcd that this is an opportunity 70 purchase
land Of fair average quality st SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 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-
pecally 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 will prove TO
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
ON acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land OF 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.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER.

Gorton was perfectly well, and he had
acted so naturally that he was re-estab-
lished in the friendship Of his neighbors.
Then came another trial. Gorton's left
hip suddenly became lmmovaDie. 1t
seemed locked and he could move about
only with the aid of crutch. 1t was
rheumatism this time according TO the
diagnosis of the physicians, but Gorton
and his wife didn't believe it; they were
satisfied that the trouble was caused by
the ball and held their secret In a few
months Gorton recovered the use OF his
limb and for ten years thereafter walked
without the aid of cruIch.
One night he awoke suffering terrible
pain in his left knee, and when he at
tempted TO get out or bed he found that
the joint was so stiff that he couldn't
bend it. There were several months more
Of walking with crutch, then the knee
became more useful.
One morning GOrton told his wife that
he had seen Reynolds again in his dreams
aud had talked with him, and he had
told him that the trouble with which he
was laid up was caused by the ball and
that he must have it removed. 1T
seemed very real," said GortOn, land |
talked with him. 1 told him that if the
story OF tho duel came out the people
would think that l had killed him. as
they hadn't forgotten his disappearance.
He told me that he had been killed in a
mine III California about year alter he
left home. He said he went there by the
name Of James Coles, and if [ doubted it
| could write to Orrin West, C., New,
who was his friend at the time OF the ac
cident by which he had been killed."
Mrs. Gorton believed her husbands 5
story, and the next mail carried letter
TO Orrin West, inquiring about one James
Coles. In few weeks an answer was re-
ceived from West. corroborating Gorton's
dream and stating that, from papers
found among the dead mans effects, it
was suspected that his name was Rey
nolds, but no clew could be got to where
he belonged.
Even now, with evidence enough at
hand of his innocence, Gorton hesitated
several weeks before consenting to have
an operation performed. Finally, under
the persistent urging OF his wife, he sub
mitted, and the surgeon took from the
bottom Of the mans foot steel ball
weighing a quarter of an ounce. There
were traces OF lead upon it, but, for the
most part, it was as bright as the day it
was cast. The man is now rapidly re-
covering.

1T the close of last season The Messrs.
Riggin had $500 young terrapin on hand,
which were carried safely through the
winter. The warm days of early spring
caused their owners to Remove them from

means a loss, at the present valuation, OF

GENERAL LEES CHRISTMAS DINNER.
How Ephrain Served the s'PIece ds
ReSIStanco.',

HOW Epnraln served the >Ileco uS
Resistance
AS the fortunes of war had favored his
larder, through some skillful foraging of
Ephrain, negro, who was his faithful
cook, uody servant and waiter-three in
one-General Lee invited several officers
to dine with him on Christmas day, 1864
The lucky recipients of the timely in
vitation were five in number, all officers
of distinction, among them Generals
Longstreet, Gordon and Kershaw. They
were all on time when the dinner was
called. 1t was served on a rough pine
table, without cover, in General Lees
weather beaten tent. 1t consisted of
boiled cabbage and eight or ten boiled
sweet potatoes and dish of rice cooked
dry. The piece de resistance, which in
deed the guests found it hard to resist,
was small bit OF fat bacon, about three
inches square, that lay on top of the large
cabbage. Now bacon was as rare in the
Confederate camp at that time as are
roses on the Northern hilltops in Decem-
ber. You can imagine, therefore, the self
restraint exercised by each guest as be
declined in turn slice of the delectable
meat proffered by his host, who held the
carving knife aud fork ready TO cut and
help.
1t was observed that when the General,
after helping TO the cabbage, said to the
guest whose plate Ephraim held out,
ALLOW me to help you to slice OF the
bacon ?" the devoted old servitor's hand
trembled greatly. In fact, he seemed to
be in a state of decided fright. The high
military rank of the guests would not ac-
count for his trepidation, for he daily
served near a master who outrank ed
them all. There was no splendor lett in
the tracery of faded gold lace on their
battle-stained uniforms 10 dazzle his eyes
and cause them to roll about and glance
from bacon to guest, and from guest to
bacon, as each answered the half ques-
ton with the words, mo, thank you,
General" The discomposure of the serv-
ing man was all the more striking from
its contrast with the serene, selt-poised
dignity of his master.
Dinner over, the General and his guests
retired from the tent, but as they passed
out, General Lee turned and said in low
tone, ''Ephraim, we have another cab
bage, have we not?"
The answer was, 'Yes, sab, Mass Bob.
Wes got anudder cabbage, sah.''
'rhen, Ephraim," said the General,
'tsaye the piece of bacon to cook with that
cabbage"
The prompt and decisive reply was,
mo, sab, Mass Bob, l can't do dat l jis
borrow dat piece of bacon for seasonin'
from friend ober dar in Richmon' and
/ done glib up my parole OBJ honor dat I'll
glib him back dat same bacon what bor-
row.
The General consented at once to the
return of the bacon.-Louisville Courier

TO WITNESS RED WAR.

Military attaches Of the United States
army now have chance TO witness war
operations in the orient. Gen. Schofield,
acting secretary Of war received a cable
gram from the government Of Japan in
viting him 20 detail an officer or officers
of the United States army to travel with
its army and witness the various mill
tary operations which will ensue The
cablegram announced that similar invi-
tations have been extended to other civ
ilzed powers. Gen. Schoheld said il was
his intention to act favorably upon the
invitation, and have the army represent
ed by some officers who would be in
structed TO make full report on all the
occurrences in the war Such a billet,
while apparently undesra BILE, would
gladly be accepted by any officer in the
army. The United States has had sew

this connection is another indication OF
its advancement toward civilization.
China is somewhat churlish in this mat
ter. il being rather afraid that the pres
ence of foreign officers would be disad-
vantageous 20 her military operations.

RAISES FIsHY TARIFF QUESTION.

The collector OF customs at Cape Vim
cent, ~ Y, has raised a question Of con-
struction of the new tariff act as TO the
rates OF duty on fish. lie reports that
one of the principal articles OF import at
that point Is fish brought over IN most
cases the day they are caught. Sec. AL
of the new act places fish. frozen or
packed in ice, fresh, on the free list.
But these fish are neither frozen nor
packed in ice. Sec. oil imposes duty Of
20 per cent on fish in cans or packed in
any other manner not specifically emu
merated or provided for in this act" The
Cape Vincent fish. however are not
packed in any way. The only provi-
sion of the act which can be made TO APP
ply 20 the case in point is Sec. B. which
imposes a duty Of 10 per cent ad valorem
on the importation Of all raw or manu-
featured articles not enumerated or pro-
vided for in this act. The collector will
be instructed to levy 10 per cent duty.

FROM PATAGONIA TO BRITISH

FROM PATAGONIA TO BRITISH AMERICA.
Work is progressing somewhat slowly
on the project for the great railroad en-
terprise 10 connect North and South
America, which was one of the projects
inaugurated by the congress Of the
American republics convened under the
auspices Of Secretary Blaine. The work
of the surveying parties is being tabu-
lated and charted, but il will be months
yet before any reliable data will be avail
able for publication. The project is a
stupendous one and contemplates ulti-
mately the opening up of railway com
munication from what once was known
as Patag onia TO the northern confines Of
British America. Two surveying parties
have been at work in the northern cOun-
tries of South America, while a party Of
army officers has done the preliminary
work for Central America and the 18TH
mus. The cost OF the entire road would
be so much that il seems difficult mat
ter even 10 estimate il. IL does not seem
probable now that the road will be con-
structed in the near future.
