Against wood and Coal Peddling.

The wood and coal dealers of the city
have petitioned the Chief Of Police TO use
all efforts to prevent the peddling of coal
and wood upon the streets by parties who
have not taken out the necessary license.
The dealers claim they are bothered very
much by the petty retail dealers, and
want the license law enforced. There is
a very heavy State tax beside the city
license for peddling, and If the law is
carried out to the letter the small dealers
will be driven out of the business, and
some poor people who are not able 10
buy more than a bushel Of coal at a time
will be inconvenience.

No More ThOrns.

The limit of improvement is not found in producing fruit of great size beauty and sweetness, says the Septem Der Lippincott. There are other desir able qualities that the horticulturist is anxious to obtain, and toward this enc he is devOting his energies. One of the most noticeable trends of the science o fruit-culture is toward the elimination of undesirable organs. The thorns ot some of the citrus fruit trees, and the prickles of such small berry bushes as the gooseberry, blackberry, and rasp- berry, are protuberances that have out lived their usefulness and are highly unpleasant. They do not only puncture the ripening fruits, but they often make harvesting exceedingly inconvenient Gardeners have long wished to do away with these thorns and pricklets, but it is only comparatively recently that sys- tematic efforts have been made to elim- mate them.
 The thorns are conspicuous organs of our cultivated plants that have ceased to be of any value, for their original pur- pose of protecting the plants from ami mals has no force today in the gardens and fields. They should have been ex- terminated long ago. Through the care ful selection of plants that happen to be thornless, stocks are obtained for a new race of thornless plants. Others are noted for the few thorns that grow on them, and by iudicious selection of seeds and grafts from these the same work is continued. Already gardeners have cultivated raspberry and blackberry canes that are entirely thoruiess, and ny grating improved varieties on these the desired end will soon be reached. The wild orange trees have many more thorns on them than the budded stock, and the wild Florida lemons are thlckly studded with thorns, while the. .gratted La France have none.

A GOOD THING FOR WOMEN TO RE-
 MEMBER.

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they are communicating with a wOman-a woman whose experience in treating wOman's ills is greater than that of any living physician-male or female.
 A woman can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate her private troubles to a man-besides, man does not understand-simply because he is man. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full we'll that they should have immediate assist ance, but a natural mOdesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physicians. It is un- necessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman, whose Knowledge from actual experience is greater than any local physician living.
 The following invitation is freely offered accept 1t in the same spirit.
 Women suffering from any form of fe- male weakness are invited to freely com municate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letter are received. opened, read and answered by women only, thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken and has induced more than 100000 sufferers to write. her for advice during the last four months. Out of the vast volume of experi- e ice which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nOthing in return except your good will and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish If she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.-LydiaE E. Pinkham Medicine Co.,, Lynn, Mass.

Actrsses who are mixed up in sensa- tiOnal divorce suits have become so common that there is no longer so much advertising to be obtained in this way as once was the case. Press agents for the divinities of the stage are driven to resort to all sorts of unusual devices to get them properly before the public. It is but few weeks ago that one act ress got herself bitten by rattlesnake and had her maid suck out the poison at least the story which was sent to the papers said she was bitten, but we have our doubts about the genuinenesS of the snake. That was pretty clever But the device of Agnes Walker, who does song and dance turns in New York music hall, is the best up to date. Her scheme is to commit suicide, or rather attempt it, out of jealousy of hated rival who Is supposed to be walk ing away with the affections of the young man whom Agnes claims as her exclusive property. She tried it on down at Bath Beach the other day. It didn't work as we'll as was expected, but that was Agnes fault and her press agents. They were too clumsy in working it. It is really good scheme, and some clev- CT Thespian will yet make real sensa- tiOn with it.

MT. Milton Whitney, chief of the agriculture, called at the Chamber of Commerce this morning. Mir. Whitney IS making an investigation of the soils of California. He passed through Los Angeles this morning on his way to Der kelley from the southern part of the state.
 MT. Whitney is sending samples of the soils 10 Washington for analysis, as the department of agriculture intends to make thorough investigation of the physical condition of the soils in the principal districts in their relation to water. The methods of irrigation and the alkali problem, which is serious one In irrigation districts, will be thoroughly investigated. MT. Whitney mas studied this problem in North Dakota, Washington and Montana. He leaves soon for the east, having spent about two weeks in California. His ob- Ject ln making this hurried visit was io tamlIlarize hlmself with the locality, in order that he may plan the work for his assistants, some of whom will be sent her" io 7t"7v the problem more in de- tail.

One of the current magazines lhas an elaborate treatise on genus and sta ture, in the course of which it is,Sought to show that men of genius are not, as a rule, of commanding stature. The effort to connect the two is some what labored one, however. Some one once asked Mir. Lincoln how long a mans legs ought to be. He said: That is q very serious question, and l have given much thought to it a great many times. Some should be longer and some shorter; but want to tell you that q mans legs ought al- ways to be long enough to reach from his body to the ground" When this condition Is satisfied, genius ought to develop itself without further refer ence to physical conditions.

JIM AND JOHN

Jim and John were tOwnsmen and chums and went out to see baseball. It was red hot afternoon, and the bleachers were like frying-pans at breakfast time. Jim had a bald head and John had a crick in the back. They sat for an underdone roast and laughed at everything. Jim's bald spot was shining mark, like brass doOr-plate A stray ball. fierce and sharp, from false bat, struck the spot and ploughed furrow. It daZed him. Jim's eyes and face looked like sick owls, and John laughed. He laughed an hour straight along. The game ran late into twilight. Meanwhile, John had shed his coat, and cool, damp draught got in its work on his back. The time came to leave, but John couldn't. He couldn't bend or get up. Lumbago had set in its worst form. He laughs best who laughes last, and Jim had revenge. But they got down town to Jim's room, when he said, Heres something all those athletes use for hurts and ailments, and it's the best known cure for lame back" He rubbed It on Johns back and some on his own head. They were both feeling cured and comfort able from the use of St. Jacobs Oil, which Jim always kept in a handy place. He was a sport himself and knew what was best. They went to bed. John laughed in his sleep. Both rose in the morning fresh as daisies; then Jim laughed at John.

lute, and that those who have sought to demonstrate otherwise either could not see .or could not count. On very old trees, however the growth is very slow and the later. rings very small, often re- qulrlng the aid of magnifying glass and sometimes of a compound micro scope to discover them. But they are there, and one for each year on all healthy parts of trees. It must be re- membered, however, that cross section ot tree made, say fifty feet from the ground, will not show the age of th9 tree, but only the number of years that 1t has been fifty feet high. The absolute age of the tree is only shown by cross cut at the surface of the ground, where, owing to libality to injury, it is some- times difficult or impossible to trace all the rings.

If the theory of the, ''scientists"f who have been predicting at Detroit that the waters of the great lakes are ultimate ly to be turned over Chicago. and by way of the Illinois into the Mississippi Is true, then the ship canar problem is certain of solution at last. But, if sine had anticipated such a result, Chi cago might have saved some $3O,00.000 on her drainage canal, though it would have been a little inconvenient to wait a thousand years for settlement of the sewerage question.
