Novel Picture Gallery,

The Hull House Settlement OF Chi
cago is about to establish circulating
picture gallery. The scheme is very
simple; the pictures are framed and
are to be circulated just as are books
from a library; any one picture may
be retained for two weeks, with the
privilege OF renewal. 1t is said that
the pictures most in demand in the
Hull House collection are the "Para-
disc" OF Fra Angelico, the Sistine Ma
donna and other works of devotional
character.

It has boen found that dynamite ID

II has been found that dynamite is
too rapid in its work to thoroughly
remove the roots. When II is used,
the stump is blown to pieces, and the
roots remain. 1t is necessary to re-
move the roots, for they rot and form
channels under the levee, which are
enlarged by the water.
Powder, acting more slowly than
dynamite, lifts the stumps bodily. out
of the ground, bringing with them
the roots.
When the ground is all cleared IL
is plowed so that the fresh earth
thrown up to make the levee will form
closer union with the foundation.
Wheeled scrapers generally are used
in building levees, aud, if possible, the
dirt is taken from the ground between
the river and embankmeut.
After the EN- bankment is made IL is
sodded with tufts of Bermuda grass.
This is iointed grass which spreads
rapidly, and serves to hold the earth
firmly and thus partially protects the
levee against wind, rain and waves.
Where it is possible the engineer
who has charge of tho levee, leaves
heavy underbrush growing between
the levee and the river, for it offers
strong protection against wave ac-
tiun. Chicago Record.

California RedwOOds.

started are taking their cargoes on

to the redwood forests, which, as it is.
are rapidly disappearing. Those in

Golden States beauty have unsuccess-
fully tried to stop the Wholesale DEM
clifton of these famous forests-the
wonder and beauty of California.
Save in the few cases where the red
woods have gained the giant growth of
"Big Trees" no attempt has been
made to preseve them. As they oaly

canyons will be swept bare OF them,

alton Of the vandalism that has

WHY WOMEN LIKE TO DRESS WE'LL.

VIM "o"EN LINE ~ SRhoo 'hhhs
1t would be most difficult matter
to tell for what object women choose
their dresses Some wiseacres say
women dress to excite the envy of tho
less fortunate; others say to attract
the attention of men. Harriet Pres
colt Spofford says: "Women are
actuated only by their perceptions of
the beautiful" aud this generous SEN
tment fills the case of the large ma
jority of women. There are few
whose minds are 80 warped they can
enjoy nothing which does not excite
jealousy and envy in the hearts of
others. But, taken MS whole, it is
undoubtedly true that women dress
themselves for the mere love of the
beautiful and because they have n
keen sense of the fitness of things. -

Bicycle dress has brought about a
reformation for some women in skirts

not hold up their skirts neatly and at

ACCOMMODATING WOMAN TEACHERS.
The big department stores of Chi
cago have hit upon novel scheme to
attract a certain line of custom. 1t
consists in cashing the warrants issued
to public school teachers in paym cnt
of their salaries. 1t is sometimes in
convenient, for various reasons, for
the teachers to have their warrants
cashed by the city treasurer. and,
though the department stores do not
exact that the teacher shall buy any
thing, still there are few women who
can run the gauntlet of glittering
array of tempting goods with full
purse and not make some purchase.

the draft of tine new ordinance which is in
tended to prevent at least the main streets
of the city from being blockaded by cowboy
preachers and others to the detriment of

been considerably changed from the text
originally intended, as it now sets aside a

street from the Plaza to Seventh street; /;
Spring street from Temple to Seventh; !;
Broadway from Temple to Seventh.
Which looks as if the shouters and ex-
horters will either hereafter have to go to
Figueroa or Alameda streets, or to the
hills section to do business.
the ordinance provides that no person
shall stand or sit on any of the streets
mentioned. or any sidewalks or cross-walk,
or occupy the same SO as in any manner to
obstruct the free passage thereon, or to
hinder, modest, or annoy persons in pass
ing along the same, or oOstruct or stand

persons to collect, assemble, or gather on
any of the streets mentioned, or sidewalk.

thereon, or to hinder, molest, or annoy per-
sons in passing along the same.
Any person violating the provisions of
this ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be fined in sum not exceeding $50
or imprisoned in the city Jail for term
not exceeding fifty days, or may suffer
both such fine and imprisonment.

Serious Charges Against Wife and Mother
in-iaw
Yesterday afternoon young man who
gave his name as Charles Struck called on
Deputy District Attorney James, at police
headquarters, and stated that he wanted
complaints against Mrs. DR.. King, his
mother-in-law, and wife, for an attempt to
commit abortion on his wife. Struck said
that he had been married for several years,
and had one child. His business requires
him to be away from home great deal OF
the time, and on his return from one of his
trips he said that he had learned that his
wife had been consulting a Mrs. Dr. King,
whose Office is on Broadway, with view
to having criminal operation performed.
Struck said that his wife was being ell
couraged to have this done by her mother.
To ascertain how far the matter had pro.
gressed Struck said that he called
upon Mrs. Dir. King, and pre-
tending to sanction it. asking the doctor
what has been done. Struck says that the
doctor admitted that an attempt at an
operation had been made, and that it
would probably be successful. Struck says
that he then proceeded to give the doctor
piece of his mind, saying that he did not
sanction anything Of the kind, and that he
did not want it repeated. The doctor, he
says, when she found out how he felt about
il, denied that there had been any opera
ton, and said that she had not treated his
wife.
In the meantime, Struck says that his
mother-in-law has taken his wife and
is afraid that they will persist in their
efforts to have the abortion performed.
Mr.. James took the matter of issuing
under advisement.

Judge Owens
The trial of Mrs. Ellen Clark, one OF the
women arrested for stealing goods from the
Boston store, was had before Police Judge
Owens yesterday. The evidence against
Mrs. Clark as to her having taken the
goods was very conclusive, and there is
apparently no reason to believe that she
did not take them. On the other hand, it
is alleged that Mrs. Clark would have no
motive for stealing few small articles.
She has lived in Los Angeles twenty-five
years, is popular among a large circle of
friends, has two beau iful daughters, in
society, and, above all, has plenty of
money. At the time OF her arrest Mrs.
Clark had over 500 in her purse. The case
went over to Monday to enable the attor-
neys to produce certain authorities which,
ii is claimed, apply to such cases.
