Correct Measurement.

Some six years ago there lived in the city of X-a rather eccentric old man, remarkable for his shrewdness, who kept pork shop. Three young fellows, thinking to have some fun with him, entered his shop one night and asked what his pork was a yard. The old man promptly replied: "One dol lar" One of the young men then said: ''In take a yard" Where is your money?" said the old man. The dollar was laid down, which the old man quickly pocketed, and then produced three pigs feet, with the remark: "Three feet make one yard"

 Loring & Co.-Gentlemen: For the past six months I have been taking your Obesity Remedies and have re- duced my weight 150 pounds and my general health is greatly improved; in fact, I owe my life to your Obesity Remedies My waist measurement was reduced from fifty-seven inches to forty-three inches, a difference of four teen inches. Previous to taking your remedies I suffered from shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart, and could not take any exercise what ever, and my ankles refused to sup port my weight Now can exercise freely; the shortness of breath has left me, as has also my heart trouble. While taking your remedies 1 made a trip to the Pacific coast. I was able to walk around quite a good deal, which 1 had not been able to do pre- viously for number of years. On my return home my neighbors said they had never expected to see me re- turn alive, but through the efficacy of your Obesity Remedies I have been greatly improved. I shall continue your treatment, as I desire to be re- duced about fifty (50) pounds more. have answered great many letters of inquiry as to the truth of this state ment, and have always recommended Dr. Edison's Obesity Remedies to all who are overburdened with super auous flesh.

THE JOSEPH BUILDING,
Handsome Structure at Sixth and K
Streets.
Sacramento Has Reason to be Proud of
the New Business Block Being
Built This Year.

Improvements are going forward
and new buildings are being erected in
Sacramento every day, and one Of the
fastest, handiest and most solidly con-
structed is that now under process of
finishing on the northeast corner of
Sixth and K streets, owned by Mrs Cor
nelia Joseph. That the building will
be credit to the city and an ornament
to the streets upon which it stands
may be seen by a glance at the
accompanying picture of it.
The exterior of the ground floor is
done in iron and brick, while the upper
part of the building is constructed of
Colusa, or as is usually called, Red
ding sandstone. 1t has a frontage of
sixty feet on K street and seventy feet
on Sixth street, thus covering 4,2OO
square feet.
The basement, for storing purposes,
underlies the entire structure; is seven
feet in the clear and is solidly cemented
so as to exclude moisture; while the
first, or business floor, is divided into
two storerooms, both of which are oc-
cupied at the present time. The two
storerooms will be finished in antique,
carved oak, and will present a very
tasty, as we'll as a very comfortable
appearance; while the exterior frontage
on both X and Sixth streets is profuse

self could hardly better that. Upon a
certain occasion he asserted that "a
man cannot be in two places at one
time-barring he is a bird" The San
Francisco editor is a bird without
much doubt, but still he could not JUS
tify his metaphor.
SURPLUS.
Selana Irrigator: How nice it would
be if Uncle Sam had a surplus now with
which to build war ships or improve
coast tdefenses.-Hanford Sentinel.
Just so, but how could he forsee that
four years of Harrison and Mckinley
would dissipate a seven hundred million
dollar surplus. Uncle Sam has lived a
long time and has a pretty long head,
but he has demonstrated his inability
to estimate the spending ability of one
Republican Administration.
LITTLENESS.
San Bernardino Times-Index: Cali
fornia littleness has again had it's effect
The despicable spirit of jealousy-the
dog in the manger policy that has done
so much to injure the State-has again
brought about the inevitable conse-
quences. AS we noted day or two ago
the Congressional Committee on Rivers
and Harbors had inserted in the proper
bill considerable sum for both San
Pedro and Santa Monica harbors; the
latter harbor is reached by the South
ern Pacific road and the former by the
Santa Fe. The feeling of antagonism
to anything that would benefit the
former was at once brought out and
put to use; Congressman McLachlan,
rearing the insanity of his district, op-
posed the Santa Monica part of the ap-
preparation, the Eastern congressman
became disgusted with these chickering's
and jealousies and struck out both ap-
preparations. So now instead of get
ting two harbors, Southern California
is In fair way to get none.-Bakers-
field Echo.
The "Times-Index" indorses all the
above except its misstatement of facts.
Santa Monica is reached by both the
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific rail-
roads.
