Mark Twain on Prohibition.

Mark Twain has just concluded a
lecturing tour in New Zealand. He said
good-by to the New Zealanders at
Christchurch, and in the course of his
speech made reference to prohibition,
which he said he approved, but which
would put them into most difficult
straits. He then told the following
story:
In our country several years ago there
was a man came into a prohibition
town, and, unlike you savages here
they said to him: You can't get a
drink anywhere except at the apothe-
cary's." So he went to the apothecary,
who said: you can't get a drink here
without a prescription from the physi-
cian," but the man said, 'I am perish
ing. I haven't time to get a prescrip-
ton" The apothecary replied "Well,
I haven't power to give you a drink
except for snake bite" The man said
Where's the snake?" SO the apothe-
cary gave him the snakes address, and
he went off. Soon after however he
came back and said For goodness
sake, give me a drink. That snake is
engaged for six months ahead. West

Wood Engraving.

There seems to be some hope for wood
engravers looming. up in the distance,
and from that quarter from which IT
was least expected. Their chief COM
plant has been that the photographer
has ruined their craft. This is true in
a sense, as without the photographer
the process reprOducer is nowhere. But
with the multiplication Of process
blocks has come a desire, in some art
istic quarters, to improve such process
block. and so the wood engraver has been
called in This has been done for some
time past in America with fair meas
ure of success. Anyone who has taken
the trouble to look at the results OBJ
tanned on the printing press from
tone block, even when it has been care
fully FURNISHED and retouched, and
from g. tone block which has been
worked upon by a skillful wood en-
graver, must have been struck by the
great difference in the result obtained.
The wood engraver, then, may after all
regain something of his lost position
with those who love first-class work,
and will, perhaps, cease from revilinS

A PLEASANT OCCASION.
Company E Presented With a Long,
Contested Trophy.

Some two years ago the Buffalo
Brewing Company of this city, TO fos-
ter and encourage rifle practice among
the companies of the Second Infantry
Regiment, offered q priZe to the cnIu-
pany whose team of five men should
make the highest score, to become the
property Of the company whose team
successfully competed for ii three
times. Company z of this city won
it first and second, then it fell to the
lot Of Company A to have possession Of
it for time. The competition then he
came intense and for two terms it
was held by Company G. In the last
contest Company E succeeded in win
ming it's final possession, and last even
| ing it was presented to it by Manager
| Seymour of the brewing company, who
congratulated the company fer the
| interest they had shown and for their
proficiency in craftsmanship.
| The trophy consists Of an elegant
solid oak Secretary's desk and three
comfortable revolving armchalcs for
the officers The selection was highly
appreciated by the members of the
company. It was received by Captain
| Schoemaker with pride and will be en-

sentation the members and their guests
repaired to well laden tables and lis

VENTURA (Cal), March 1st.

VENTURA (Cal), March 1st.
I send you the portrait of Mr. Fran
cisco Garcia 1t was taken during the
past week. BY it you will observe the
pink of good health in the coloring OF
the cheeks, the brightness of the eyes
and robustness of the individual. True,
you cannot see, as 1 have seen, one Of
the best specimens of manhood. Mr..
Garcia is one the finest looking men
within a days walk of Ventura. He
is able to hold his own with all the
young men of this place. When l was
introduced to him / remarked his
strength, and he told me that it was
only a while ago when he was out of
sorts, all run down, no appetite and
troubled with sleeplessness. He was
advised to and did use joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla. He told me exactly what
hundreds have before said. He soon
began to sleep at night, his bowels be-
came regular, his appetite returned,
and he was enabled to do a good days
work, eat fair share of food and sleep
his allotted hours. Now he weighs $50
pounds, and in all his movements shows

the perfectly healthy man. Speaking of
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, he said:
Il did not use the remedy until had
been advised to do so, and then l did
not put much faith in it, but now l can
safely say that joys Vegetable Sar-
saparilla is a great remedy, and that
it clarifies the blood, leaving no bad ef-
fects on the entire body. I never had
single pimple or blemish on my face;
l never had the least disagreed bic feel
ing while / used joys Vegetable Sar-
saparilla. Of course, l was not a sick
man, yet felt out of sorts and was be-
ginning to lose flesh. Yes, | do recon-
mend joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla."
1 may as well tell you that Ventura is
all praise for joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla, and that the druggists are not
palming off something just as good for
the native remedy. When people ask
for joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla they
get Joys, and that is just what the
druggists of San Francisco ought to do
They ought to hand out the native
remedy when people ask for it. Ger

THE BIG STORM.
How 1t Compares With That of This
Month Sixteen Years Ago.

The Weather Bureau reports show
the highest and lowest temperatures
yesterday to have been 81 and 46 de-
grees, with high southerly winds and
stormy weather prevailing
The barometrical readings at ) a. m.
ana p. m. yesterday were 29.12 and
, Z9.S2 inches, respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were SO and
% degrees, with no rain, ard one year
ago to-day 62 and 30, with no rain.
The rainfall yesterday was 80 of an
inch, making 2.S2 inches for this storm,
and 4-94 inches for this month. The
total precipitation for this season is
21.o1 inches, as against 2.SS inches to
an equal date last year. The present
month has given the greatest rainfall
for April than any other term, except
April, 1880, when 14.20 inches were
measured, the heaviest on the Goth
and 21st, with 5.15 inches in twenty
four hours.
The greatest amount in the shortest
period was for the eight hours ending
at S:O2 p. m. of the Goth, when 10
inches We're measured, and for the
twentY-four hours 5.2S inches. The
average per hour during the eight
hours when 4.1J inches We're measured
was 80 of an inch, or little over half
an inch an hour. The average for the
twenty-four hours was a little less than
one-quarter of an inch per hour

ARMENIAN WOMEN.

Mrs. Gertrude Eastman Perkins, one
the brightest of the younger literary
women of the city, who made a long
trip q short while ago through Eu-
rope, is convalescing from the serious
illness which has kept her from the
pen for several months. During her
stay abroad she mado a careful study
of the conditions of Armenia, and
more especially of the women of that
crushed and unfortunate land. Her
literary connections gave her the ac-
cess in London and elsewhere to libra
ries and archives bearing upon the
topic, and by good fortune as we'll as
careful endeavor she managed to make
the acquaintance and win the friend
ship of Armenian colonies in London
and elsewhere. She took abundant
notes and secured a large amount OF
very valuable literary material Upon
her recovery, she will probably write
a series of very exhaustive articles
upon the topic with view to their
subsequent publication in book form.
The expressions practiced by the
Turks and Kurds in Armenia have
driven thousands, and even tens OF
thousands, of people to other lands.
The expatriation has resulted in the
establishment of Armenian colonies in
nearly every large European city, and
very numerous colony in London it.
self. Most of these eXiles belong to
the better classes of the race, and in
their flight took with them family
records, church documents, ancient
archives and much of their National
literature. 1t is possible to-day to
obtain as much if not more excellent
material respecting Armenia at first
hand in London than in Sassoon oil
Ezreroum. Mrs. Perkins is very for.
tunate in finding and utilizing this
literary treasure trove. New Yorl
