SUNSHINE And BLOSSOMS.
TREASURES FROM FLORA'S Do
MAIN THAT GIVE DELIGHT
in SAN FRANCISCO.
THAT Is WHAT CALIFORNIA HAS
WHILE THE EAST Is TROUBLED
WITH BILLIARDS.

While the people of the East are feeling
the effects of snow and billiards., those of
the Golden State, the land of sunshine in
winter, are at this season enjoying the lux
uries that their Eastern cousins are de-
prived of until spring is far advanced.
Not only is this the land of sunshine, but
it is the land of fowers-not alone those
that are nursed in the lighthouses, but the
hardy ones that bloom in the open air.
The private gardens around many of the
honest on Pacific Heights, Mob Hill and
the Western Addition, that are filled with
beautiful flowers that please the eye and
fill the air with fragrance, are the envy of
the people from the other side of the Ser
ras who come here to escape the rigor of
an Eastern winter.
In Golden Gate Park, which is not far
from the ocean, whence night winds blow
pretty cold at times, there is a wealth of
Flora's beauties in bloom.
Have we many outdoor blossoms at this
timer" repeated one of the gardeners yes
terday.
eve have so many that it would be i'm
possible to call them off, but we have vio-
lets of every variety, pansies of every shade
known, hyaclnths of a dozen varieties,
tulips of several shades, acacias in full
flower, the Australian flower known as the
piper buglers, kiss mes Marguerites,
pyrus japonica, camellia iaponicas (red
and white), beautiful pink and white
azaleas, cineraria, roses that are changing
from bud to blossom, that pretty white
flower called taurestina, cassia in bud and
flower, the cowslip or mayflower, pink and
yellow oxalis, the sea pink-a striking
flower in pink and greenish yellow-sweet
peas that are ready to burst into flower.
The heather is in full bloom and the prunis
or wild prune is showing its beautiful
white flowers on leafess branches Then
there is the sweet forget me-not, the
hydrangea and many more that I cannot
call to mind just now, but that ought to be
enough to make the people in the East
envious."
J. r. Sproule, a prominent florist, fur
nishes the following list of flowers not in
cluded in the park gardeners enumera-
ton: Daisies, wallfowers, primroses,
abu1itons, lilies, heliotropes Towering
ounces, Towering peaches, plums, seed
almonds, geraniums, fuchsias, wistaria,
daphne and magnolias.
In the park there are sections in which
the white and pink daisies show just above
the grass and from a distance look like
gigantic mosaic in setting of deep green.
The violet beds send out delicious fra
GRANGE, almost overpowering, while in the
valley where the pansies grow, these mod
est flowers, each having on its leaves the
imprint of the face of an old-fashioned
grandmother, moved with a slight breeze
and each seemed to nod a welcome to the
onlooker.
San Franciscans are also enjoying early
vegetables, as the markets make a good
display of green peas, asparagus and Gu
cumbers, to say nothing of potatoes.

When dropping health and spirits go amissr
How tasteless, then, whatever can be given;
Health is the vital principle of bliss
Weak, tired-out men and women with
nerves 'unstrung" and badly nourished
need Paine's celery compound. They are
especially urged to take it during these
early spring days of March and April,
when the body is most susceptible to its
strengthening influence.
Of the thousands of men and women
with brains and hands all day actively en-
gagged, but whose physical powers are little
used, who imagine themselves more dam
gerously sick than they are, the vast ma
jority are merely reduced in strength and
spirits, and need nothing but vigorous
tonic IN the spring to recuperate their tired
nerves. They need nothing so much as
Paine's celery compound. 1t exactly fills
their need.
The infirmities peculiar to the aged come
from stagnating blood and the tardy,
scanty production of nerve force. They
should take Pa1ne's celery compound
there is no time so favorable as March.
The rheumatism, neuralgia, sleepless-
ness and lack of strength that Paine's
celery compound so rapidly dispels are
thus found TO be mere temporary condi-
tions to which their time of life is liable,
and the cause of needless anxiety.
Needless if they fully perceive the mean
ing of these infirmities and take pains at
once to correct the beginnings of weakness
and debility, as it is so easy to do now in
the spring.
Paine's celery compound is the great
spring medicine. 1t is prescribed by count
less physicians in cases of rheumatism,
neuralgia, sleeplessness, and the many
other results of starved nerves and de-
pleted blood. Ia every drugstore in the
country, Paine's celery compound is
always to be obtained.
1t is the worlds great remedy for weak
ness. Its use year by year through SO
large a part of the civilized world tells
something of the good it must be accom-
plishing. If men and women who feel the
effects of too close application to work
would use Paine's celery compound, there
would be less insomnia, less pain in the
back of the neck, fewer days of utter physi-
cal exhaustion and incapacity for anything
but suffering. Its extensive use to-day is
the cause OF vast alienation of human
misery and despair. Its presence in the
world is blessing. 1t has kept the family
circle whole in thousands of homes that
are happy and grateful to-day. Try it.

hunks are in the saloon and there are two

The propeller will be 3O-inch screw

u horsepower with a speed of IL knots an
hour. The vessel can be steered from the
side by the engineer, or forward without
him. One of the peculiarities of the en-
CINE is that one lever starts, stops and
backs the launch. The gearing is to be of
buckskin, so that the craft will run almost
without noise. A small dynamo and stor-
age batteries will rest forward of the en-
CINE to operate the electric lights.
The Satellite will make her trial trip in
about three weeks.

The Defendants Invoke the Statute of
Limitation.

The suit of A. S. Renshaw against James

hurry and N. A. Fuller, now pending in
the United States Circuit Court, has taken
new turn. For over year the trial has
been delayed by means of demurrers that
were overruled and motions to dismiss
that were denied. While this was going
on the defendants were not required to an
swer. When all the legal means for caus-
ing delay were exhausted they, one and
all, came into court yesterday and pleaded
the statute of limitation.
Several years ago the defendants owned
the Bears Nest mine on Douglas Island,
Alaska, They sold it to A. S. Renshaw, an
English capitalist. and when he came to
work 1t there were no returns. According
to his complaint, he then made an exam
lnation and discovered that the mine had
been salted. Ore from the Treadwell mine
had been carted to the Bears Nest, and it

represented Porter Ashe, the deposed

He did not see how Williams could be ap-

which had never taken place. The court
held, however. that there was vacancy
enough to warrant the appointment, and
he made the necessary order.
Williams was called to the stand during
