The California Show.

The recent poultry show in San Fran
cisco, Cal, was a grand success About
200 exhibitors entered $500 birds, this being
an increase Of 1000 over last years entries.
Buff was the fashionable color for chickens
and California breeders were not behind in
this respect. First of all buff Leghorns,
buff Cochins, buff Plymouth Rocks and
many others. The collection of buff Leg
horns to the number of 1872 is claimed to be
the largest exhibit of this variety ever
made at any show, those in Madison
Square Garden and the Crystal Palace.
London, not excepted. The exhibit of
bronze turkeys by George H. Croley, Of
San Francisco, attracted considerable at
tention, some of these birds weighing fully
fifty pounds. From Vermont came three
specimens of a variety known as White
Wonders. They made a great amount of
tender flesh, are heavier than the white
Plymouth Rock, and were originated by
crossing the white Brahma with either the
white Plymouth Rock or white Leghorn.
There was fine display Of pet stock.

HAD BEECHER ONLY KNOWN.
A Hay Fever Remedy Without
Costly Travel.
Discovery That viii BIess snd Relieve
Thoussnds---No More Torture and
Discomfort Necesssry---Reiies for All
without the Expense OF Leaving Home.

No one but the sufferer from hay fever
knows the agony that attends this tor,
turing malady. A continual round OF
sneezing, eyes that are weak, watery and
ifamed, a nose that runs without cessa-
tion. and grows more sore every hour
inability TO breathe, nights that become
hours of torture, days that are long
drawn out and full of suffering-and all
this continues until the sufferer Is
obliged to pack up and go to some
locality where this disease does not
thrive. Formerly IL was considered that
the only way hay fever could be relieved
was by a change of climate. the noun
tains of New Hampshire being noted for
this purpose. Now it is known by ply
sicians and patients alike that sufferers
from this trou BILE can be relieved at home
py the use OF X-Zalia. The preparation
is an entirely new discovery 10 medicine,
its merits for the relief OF hay fever
only becoming known within the last year
or two.
X-Zalia Is made from the sap OF GER
tain tree, com bined with other vegeta ole
ingredients found in New Hampshire,
and contains the necessary medicinal
properties that have made New Hamp-
shire air famous for the yirtuous quail
ties 1t contains for the cure OF this dis
ease. Many sufferers who were sceptical
have tried X-Zalia, and, to their surprise,
fonnd relief. Among those who may be
referred to are Mr.. w. +. Lakin. Menager
Consolidated Store Service Company,
Fiske Building, State street. Boston;
Mr.. George Z. Armstrong. OF the firm of
Clark, Ward 4 Co., Bankers, Equita BILE
Building, Boston; Mr.. Z. III. Stevens,
Phillips Building, Boston,; MIR. Walter
l.. Frost, 8 Congress street, Boston; Mrs.
William +. Richardson, IL Elm street,
South Framing ham. Mass. United States
Senator j. III. Gallinger, New Hamp-
shire.
1t is expensive to take long trip to
the mountains for relief. 1t does not cost
you much TO try XZalia right here at
home, and be convinced as to whether 1t
does what is claimed for ii or not. Ask
your druggist for XZalia. IL he does
not keep it, send II to The X-Zslia Com
pany, No. Beacon street, Boston, Mass,
and they will send one OF their largest
bottles, express paid, anywhere on line
of railroad in the United States. VS.

These Connections Parents Valued Their
Affection For Their Child Lightly.

II came out the other day at Bridgeport,
Conn, in court. that Walter and Ida Por-
ter of Fairfield, Conn, sold their child for
money b. Mr. and Mrs. Ash Penny OF
Bridgeport thIeo years ago, when the Por-
ters were in straitcnod circumstances. At
that time their baby was G months old.
The agreement and the terms Of the sale
were drawn by Attorney Howard Joyce,
now living in Yonkers, \. Y. Mr. and
Mrs Penny wanted child. The Porters
had several. The Pennys offered TO adopt
one, but TO this the Porters would not
agree. Finally the Pennys offered 500,
with the understanding that it should be
an ont ard out safe he child. This was
agreed ,o
A year ago Mr. Penny died. Then the
Porters determined to get their child back.
Mrs. Penny would not part with her.
She was brought into court by Porters'
lawyers, and she produced the bill of sale.
A copy of the agreement was also in pos
session Of the Porters.
The judge ordered the child TO be turned
over TO its parents. Mrs. Penny protested,
but she was told the sale of human beings
was not legal under the stars and stripes.
The child was taken from court by its par
ents, but 1t cried for Mrs. Penny.

at Its Worst.

The walk through tho museum IL GER
tainly one of the most wonderful In the
world There arc more masterpieces per-
haps in Florence; possibly objects OF greao-
er value may be accumulated in tho Brit
ish museum, though that Is doubtful. but
nowhere in the world are statues and an
tlquities so well arranged as In the NGti-
can, and perhaps the orderly beauty OF ar
rangement has as much to do as anything
else with tho charm that pervades the
whole One Is brought into direct commu-
nication with Rome at It's best, brilliant
with the last reflections of Hellenic light,
and again one Is brought into contact with
Rome at its worst, and beyond its worst
In its decay and destruction. Amid the
ruin, too, there Is the visible sign of n new
growth In the beginning Of Christianity,
from which n new power, new history,
a new literature and new art were 10
spring up and blossom, and In the rude
sculpture Of the Shepherd, tho Lamb and
the Fishes lies tho origin Of Michael An
gelos Moses and Pieta.
There, too, one may read as In book
the whole history of death in Rome, grav-
en- In the long lines of ancient inscrip-
tions, the tale OF death when there was no
hope and its story when hope had begun
I'm the belief In the resurrection OF the
dead. There the sadness of the sorrowing
Roman contrasts with the gentle hopeful
ness of the bereaved Christian, and the
sentiment and sentimentality Of mankind
during the greatest of the worlds develop
ments are told in the very words which
men and women dictated 10 the stonecut-
ter. To those who can read the inscriptions
the impression of direct communication
with antiquity is very strong For those
who cannot there Is still n special charm
In tho long succession of corridors, In the
occasional glimpses of tho gardens, in tho
cool magniflcence of the decorations as
well as in the statues and fragments which
line the endless straigln walls.
One returns at last To the halls, one lin
gers here and there to look again at some
thing ono has liked, and in the end ono
goes out, remembering the place rather
than the objects 1t contains and desiring to
return again for the sake of the whole SEN
sation one has had rather than for any de-
fined purpose. Marion Crawford in
