Origin OF the Peach.

Nothing Is now more universally ac-
cepted than the fact that the peach Is an
improved variety OF the almond. The
almond has thin shell around the
stone, which splits open and shows the
stone when mature. This outer skin
has simply become deshy IN the peach,
so that IL Is all that gives IL IT'S specific
character. II seems now clear from in
veStigaIion IN the history OF ancient
Babylon that III their gardens, nearly
I, 900 years ago, the peach was cultivated
then as IL now Is.
IL mist have been many years before
this that the peach was improved from
the almond, and this fact goes 10 show
the great antiquity OF the fruit. Possibly
gardening IN some respects, at least so
far as It relates 70 many Of our cultivated
fruits, was as far advanced &, 0G0 or 3. 0GG
or perhaps Il, 600 years back as 1t Is to-
day.
PhDnicians, many thousands Of years
ago, as is proved by the records, had in
their gardens almonds, apricnts, bananas,
citrOns, figs, grapes, olives, peaches,
pOmegranates; and even sugar cane was
IN extensive cultivation. Certainly this
shows how far advanced these nations
We're IN garden culture many years ago.

PASSED TO THE BEYOND.

George a. Putnam Expires at San
Francisco Yesterday.
The friends of George A. Putnam.
whose name is legion, will regret to hear
of his death, which took place at the resi-
dence OF his sister, Mrs. B. b. Redding, in
San Francisco, yesterday noon, where he
has been for some time undergoing treat
ment.
Mr.. Putnam was born at Fitchburg,
Mass, in 1925, and was direct descend
ant of General Israel Putnam of Revo-
lutionary fame. His early life was spent
on a farm, and he attended the public
schools. In 1S49 he sailed from Boston
on the ship Lenore, arriving in San Fran
cisco July 9TH OF that year. He mined
successfully on the Yuba River till 1858,
when he came to Sacramento and en-
gagged in teaming to the mines. In 1857
he was appointed Deputy Sheriff and held
that position till 1868, when he was ap-
pointed Paymaster in the United States
army, and remained in the service till
1865. He served as box and stamp clerk
in the Postoiiice here for five years, and
in 1871 was appointed Internal Revenue
Assessor, and served two years, when he
was appointed Deputy Federal Collector,
and served till 1874, becoming then con-
nected with the Postoffice till March,
1877. He was then elected City Tax Col
lector and reelected to that Office each
term up to last fall.
He was member of Washington
Lodge, L. and A. NJ, the Sacramento
Pioneers, Odd Fellows, Knights OF
Pythias and Exempt Flremen.
In 1855 he was married in this city to
Miss Phoebe Sylvester of Plymouth,
Mass, and two sons, George Z. and
Charles H., blessed their union. He has
always been prominent in Republican
politics.
Beside his wife and children, he leaves
two sisters-Mrs. b. b. Redding of San
Francisco aud Mrs. Abby Richardson,
who resides on the old Putnam home
stead in Leominster, Mass.
Mr.. Putnam's body will arrive from
San Francisco this morning, and be met
by members of Washington Lodge at the
depot. His wife and son, Charles, will
come up tonight and the funeral will
take place tomorrow afternoon.

LITTLE BO-PEEP.

Street Church.

Her First Appearance at the Sixteenth
Street Church.
A large and appreciative audience last
night greeted the production of Little
Bo-Peep," charming little May-day
festival of song in three acts, at the Six
teenth Lutheran Church.
Fifty young people of the congregation
took part and helped to make it decided
success. Mrs. j. G. Walling was musical
director and Mr.. Walling pianist. The
manner III which the young folks rem
dered their parts showed the careful
drilling 10 which they had been SUBJ
iected, and spoke we'll for the director S
ability to handle them. 1t also showed
that there are some very promising voices
among them that may be developed i'll
the future.
Mr.. Walling's latest composition, 'The
Sutter Grammar School March," was
played for the drill. The piece concluded
with floral march by sixteen young
ladies, who did themselves great credit
in it. The performance will be repeated
on Friday night.
The dramatic personnel was as follows:
Little Boz Peep, kate Bradley; Netticote,
Mrs. Mcfarland; Ladye Lea, Bessie
Osborn; Mistress Mary, Mrs. Gus " eiss;
Gill, Flo RoDinette; Cookie Shell, Rattle

Trying Preparation for Entrance Into
Society-what Paine's Celery Com
pound Does.
To be graceful, entertaining, accom-
plished in music and French. easy talk
ers on topics of the day. yet up in ancient
history-this and much more is what So
ciety expects of the young girls who
come out" at Is or 10.
In the few years before 20 so great a
change is wrought that we almost, as if
by magic, see woman, where but
short time before was only child.
Ii, during these critical years, constant
mental exertion absorbs the nervous
force, the system grows feeble and SUI
fers from lack of nourishnent.
The vital mistake of the thousands of
girls who yearly break down in schools
and colleges is just here: a vigorous,
healthy body and brain must have an un-
limited supply of pure, rich blood. Iully
capable OF building up growing tissues
anu repairing the waste of hard-worked
nerves and brain and bo4y.
This is just what PaIne's celery COM
pound is providing to-day for over
worked, anxious, "run-down" people all
over the United States and Canada.
If care be taken that no part OF the body
be poorly nourished great deal of hard
work and study can be safely gone
through. But when young girls are seen
to grow thin, pale, spiritless and nervous
there Is plainly starvation of some of the
important organs and craving OF the
blood and nerves for better nutrition.
Paine's celery compound was first pre-
pared by Professor Edward Z. Phelps,
Nj. d., Ii. D., of Dartmouth College,
with the fullest knowledge OF any medi-
cal man OF his day OF what tired, weak,
nervous women need to make them we'll
| id strong.
The happy effects of Paine's celery
compound III ali cases of debility, nerv-
GUS weakness and Impoverished, impure
blood are astonishing. 1t makes people
well where everything else fails.
This remarkable remedy makes sickly,
! feeble women strong; does away COM
pletely with the languid feeling that
comes from underfed nerves and blood.
AS 4 sure sign of its radical effect on
the system for good, it is noticed that in a
short time the eyes grow clearer and
brighter, the cheeks ruddier and the
mind more active and hopeful.
Paine's celery compound cures dyspep-
sia, sick headaches, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism and every symptom OF impure
| blood. and permanently cures the most
difficult diseases of the liver, kidneys and
heart.
Thousands and thousands of men and
women who have taken Paine's celery
compound are to-day perfectly well and
happy.

LIABILITY OF EMPLOYERS.
The Supreme Court Holds Corpora
ton Responsible.
EMPLOYEES with Authority to Furnish
Appliances and Direct Operations
are Not Fellow-Seryants.

The Supreme Court has rendered an
opinion in the case of Robert Nixon, re-
spondent, VS.. Selby Smelling ana Leao
Company, a corporation, appellant.
The action was one to recover damages
for personal injury to plaintiff while IN
the employ of the defendant. in conse-
ouence of the neglect and failure OF de-
fendant to provide proper and sale IN
struments and appliances with which
plaintiff was employed to work. The
case was tried by a jury, and the verdict
and Judgment was in favor OF the plalntl11
for S3,S16.
Plaintiff was employed to work in what
was known as the ''silver room," IN
which silver is separated from lead and
gold by dissolving it in hot diluted sui
phuric acid and then preclpltatlng IL from
the solution. Needing hose for the
work the foreman took two pieces OF oiu
hose and inserting piece OF lead pipe In
the end of each piece he joined them To-
gether and gave them TO Nixon 10 use.
While he was using them in the usual
manner the two pieces parted ana ne was
burned by the hot acid on the back ano
shoulders.
The company set up the plea that
Helms, the foreman. was a fellow-seryani
of Nixon and tha. he alone was therefore
responsible and not the company. 1t ad-
mitted, however, that he had charge OF
the room and the work i'll it, and appll-
ances for doing the pumping.
The court holds that in so far as Helms
worked for the same company as Nixon
he was a fellow-Servant, but IN so lar as
he was authorized and employed to pre-
pare the places for the other servants to
work, or to furnish the machinery or ap-
pliances with which they were to work.
he represented the corporation defendant,
and his negligence in the performance OF
these services was the negligence OF the
defendant.
The order and judgment appealed from
are therefore confirmed.
