Inferior Stock.

LnJerfor stock.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 17.-There
are some angry orchardists around Pasa-
dena, and their feelings took definite
shape this forenoon in a criminal charge
brought against Nurseryman James J.
McKenna. The gentleman who brought
the case TO head is Rancher A. McDon-
aid of Lamanda Park He swore to a COM
plant charging McKenna with obtaining
money under false preienses. He alleges
that on March 10, 1896, he bought 40 apri-
cot trees from McKeEna, and that they
were represented as being of the royal
variety, and that they had been budded
upon seeding plants. Mcdonald claims
that he planted the trees, and that they
have not turned out as represented; that
they are not budded and have proved
complete loss to the complainant.
1t is claimed that McKenna told differ
ent orchardists the names of persons who,
he said, had budded his nursery stock,
and those he named have denied that they
did any budding of the nature claimed.
The case is likely to cause much interest
when 1t comes up for tYlal.

SALT POLK AND EXERCISE

CFrom the Chicago Chronicle
substitute salt pork and outdoor eX-
ercise for aramels and patent medi-
cines- Such in condensed form is the
advice given to women by DR.. w. J.
Trip of New York, who claims that
candy and drugs are the chief causes of
nervous troubles among the fair sex
DR.. Trip will not allow his patients to
Halter themselves that their nervous
troubles are inherited. He holds that a
nervous trouble is of the nerves, and not
of the blood, and cannot be transmitted
I'VE find that nervousness among
American women is increa sing said
the doctor. Il suppose a great deal of
1t is due to their mode of living and
neglect of themselves. They do not have
a proper diet or hours of rest and they
then hurt themselves with a quantity
of patent medicine. Women are too
fond of eating things that do not nour-
ism the system-candy and sweets. They
like a great deal of sugar with little
tea or coffee. Too many sweets taken
into the stomach are the cause of de-
generation and are an element which
produces much annoyance and lays the
foundation for serious organic trouble
1t would be better for the children to
eat more fat pork than candy, or more
fats than sweets, though a little candy
will do no harm. 1 believe the people
would be as we'll as in our grandfath-
ers' days if they would live more out
doors and eat salt pork. People lived
better in those days. They ate more
substantial food.
Women are degenera ting, I think.
They are now hardly % when they be-
gin to fade.

HOW TO CRUSH A WASHER.

[From the Chicago Chronicle.1
A wOman'S first impulse on finding
that she is being annoyed by. a maSher
is to get beyond reach of the misera BILE
creatures impertinence. Occasionally
this is impossible, or at least very diff
cult. This was the case not long ago
when a young west side matrOn was re-
turning home one afternoon from
shopping expedition Her temper, in its
normal condition, is of the best; but she
is easily aroused. On the occasion re-
ferred to she was tired and slightly out
of sorts, a result of her tour of the
shops. About half way home she be-
came aware that a well dressed black
guard of the usual sort had seated him
self beside her. She was not aware of
his existence until his insolence aroused
her from a reVerie. 1t was the last
straw. Quick as a flash, she struck him
in the face with shopping bag, much
to the aStOniShment and terror of a
mild-mannered man who sat opposite.
The masher lost no time in leaving the
car, and in a few minutes the young
wife was home, where, the tension be-
ing relieved, she INDUCED in that most
luxurious of luxuries, "a good cry
No less effective, though not quite so
vigorous, was the method adopted by a
cool-headed young woman who was
waiting for a Wabash avenue car She
was accOsted by a stranger, who, with
what he doubtless regarded as an ire
sistible smile, said: All! you were
waiting for me, were you not?"
Though somewhat startled by the I'M
expected address, the girl did not lose
her presence Of mind. Carefully adjust
ing a pair of eyeglasses on her petite
nose, she looked at him steadily, and re-
piled:
Are you the Wabash avenue carr"
The Washers face fell, and as the girl
continued to look him full in the eye he
skunk away.

KANSAS ORPHANS.

At Toronto, Canada. in July will be
held a conference of representa- tives of
orphans homes, day missions, kinder
gartens, etc. There will be in attendance
delegates from all over the United
States, Canada and Mexico. Some ar
rangement would seem to be approprf-
ate by which Kansas can be properly
represented. Since the soldiers or
phans' home at Atchison has been
opened to the general public this is
doubly important. AS a result of this
change in the scope of the Atchison in
stitution a new need has arisen, one
which has hitherto not been felt. This is
well expressed in the words of Superin-
tendent Faulkner himself. He says:
This institution now being open to
all dependent, neglected, and ill-treated
children in Kansas between the ages of
two and fourteen years, there only re-
mains the need of providing for a sue
cessful system of home placing in order
that the purpose of the law to make the
institution a temporary home and
training school may be fully realized
"A state agent to have charge of the
important work of placing children in
homes, selecting children with care for
people who will recognize their partic-
ular needs, is necessary official, and is
provided by Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, and Rhode Island, states oper-
ating under a similar policy of state
care and supervision.
THE agent lives at the home from
which children are to go out, and by an
acquaintance with each boy and girl,
and a careful inspection of the homes to
which they are consigned, and thorough
supervision of them in the homes where
placed, successful work is accomplished.
VERY much of the failure in the
home placing of children occurs through
misfit ASSOCIATE and this may be
minimiZed by the agency system es-
tablished as indicated in the states
mentioned where excellent results have
been accomplished With fair work.
this institution will solve the question
of child-neglect and dependency in
Kansas within a few years to the sat
isfaction of everybody.
mo state has suffered more from
complex methods of dealing with the
child saving problem than New York.
Private corporations and associations
are the recipients of funds from the
public treasury, and such abuses have
crept into the system as to require re-
cent legislation to reduce the grants of
funds to such agencies. Hon. William
P. Ketchworth, a member of the New
York state board of charities and cor
rection for nearly thirty years, said of
the Kansas law: I congratulate Kan
sas on having secured wise and com
prehersive system of chiId-saVing work
and regret that New York is unable I'M
der present conditions to do as we'll -
Nothing can be of more Importance to
the future of the state than the care of
its children and these suggestions of
superintendent Faulkner therefore are
deserving of careful consideration by
the legislature.

NoN-LITERARY PEOPLE.

whole soul set on great practical ends,
and who find literature a sort of Sc
Queer from their main endeavOr,
whether that be to alleviate the mis-
cries of life or to pursue slender clues
of some half visible and half hidden
truth. There is no doubt that some of
the apostles of charity and mercy have
ignored literature wisely enough, be-
cause it has disturbed and confused
them in the fine discrimination of the
miserable and the best way to relieve
misery, and planted the deepest doubts
in their souls as to whether in that
great work they may not even be do
ing more harm than good Gas In fact
they often do, if you look only at their
individual achievements, and not at
the example which they set to the pitt
less. who are still perhaps the major
ity of the human race. Men who feel
within themselves what is really true
mission for charity, and not merely a
sentimental fancy for it, are often quite
right in turning the inSinceritieS and
hollowness of the human heart to the
great practical ends of their lives, which
if they often effect far from undiluted
good, still keep alive the flame of hui
man pity and sympathy as nothing else
can keep it alive And again, the man
who like Darwin, can find new worlds
of truth for US by vigilantly watching
for US, as no one else could watch, the
work of an earthworm or the gyrations
of a pouter pigeon, may we'll be ex-
cused if he does not suffer even the
idealism of the poet to distract him
from his engrossing endeavors as
pathfinder in the forests of science, to
the consideration of his own deficien-
cies in the world of ideal character.

EMERsoN's STRONGEST.
TFrom the Atlantic Monthly

[From the Atlantic Monthly1
Emerson has left behind him nothing
stronger than this address, The Amer
lean Scholar. 1t was the first appli-
cation of his views to the events of his
day, written and delivered in the heat
of early manhood while his extraordin-
airy powers were at their height. 1t
moves with a logical progression of
which he soon lost the habit. The sub
ject of it, the scholars relation to the
world, was the passion of his life The
body of his belief is to be found in this
address, and in any adequate account
of him the whole address ought to be
given.
DR.. Holmes called this speech of En-
erson's our intellectual Declaration OF
Independence" and indeed it was. THE
Phi Beta Kappa Speech. says Mr.. Low
ell, was an event without any former
parallel in our literary annals; a scene
always to be treasured in the memory
for its picturesqueness and its inspira-
ton. What crowded and breathIess
aisles, what windows clustering with
eager heads, what enthusiasm of ap-
proval, what grim silence of foregone
dissent"
