The Trnd,, ~ Plants.

Prior to 1876 there were only half q
dozen greenhouses in the country MAX
ing n business of raising plants for the
market, and most; of these were devoted
exclusively to flower culture. Private
estates owned small hotHquses, where a
limited number of choice flowers, grapes
and apricots were raised. but they were
very crudoly constructed compared
with our modern structures, aud the
system Of culture was simple and gen
orally unsatisfactory The cut flower
trade i'll New York began to assume
considerable Importance eight years
ago, and to meet the ready demand for
the flowers i'll the middle Of winter
greenhouses quickly sprang up in the
suburbs. The cost of construction de-
creased, and the expenses Of propagate
ing the flowers were proportionately re-
duced, making the business very remu-
lucrative to the growers. A new era in
flower culture was inaugurated Enor-
nous glass houses were erected in the
country, and where a few dozen men
were formerly employed thousands soon
sought and obtained profitable work.

A Physician ON Long Life.

GLOW to Live Longer and Why We
Do Not Live Longer" is the lengthy til
tie of an interesting little book written
by J. r. Hayes, III. D., physician and
surgeon of long standing DR.. Hayes
quotes German philosopher of 400
years ago who wrote that "our natural
lifetime has been shortened since the
advent of civilization The invention of
beverages of every Imaginable descrip-
ton, hot and unwholesomc table dishes,
premature marriages, indoor life and
sedentary occupations, high pressure
schools of learning, sleepless nights and
the fight, fret, worry and dirt of our
daily lives are the causes of it"
DR.. Hayes thinks that by proper liv-
ing many can overcome all those condi-
tons which are true of life today and
live to the natural age of man-fron
100 to 12O years-and die ripe and Wig.

must crush out his old fellow pool men,

But it must be remembered that the
purpose of the Carnegie Rockefeller
combine is to extend its monopoly until
practically every merchantable article
composed of iron or steel is placed where
it will have to pay tribute to the COM
bine.
The Carnegie company admits that
it can produce steel at a less cost per
ton than the English mills can, and the
proof that it can is seen in the order
which it booked this week for 100, 900 tons
for consumption in British territory.

the property owners and the Oil men
were well represented and in no instance
were the statements Of the people who
have suffered from the oil nuisance con-
troverted. All that the well owners
could say in extenuation was that most
of the annoyance and discomfort COM
planned of was caused by carelessness
on the part of some Of the oil men, and
that with reasonable care the greater
part of it could have been obviated. 1t
was stated by reputable citizens that
they had been kept awake for nights at
a time, and that their houses were rem
dered uninhabitable during the day by
reason of having to keep the windows
closed to exclude the filthy and vile
smelling smoke. Nor was this all. The
statement was made that the insurance
companies had notified the residents
that as soon as wells approached within
one hundred feet of their houses, the
policies would be Cancelled. In fact the
agent Of one company stated that he
had already Cancelled forty policies,
leaving the property absolutely without
protection.
The further astonishing fact was
brought out that during the greater
part of the time that the people have
been forced to submit to the annoy
ances and discomforts complained OF,
there have been ordinances on the statute
books which, If enforced, would have
given them the relief to which they were
entitled by all the principles of right
and equity. And this. too, while the
city had paid inspector in the district
whose duty it was to see that the law
was enforced.
The protesting citizens were very tenn
perate in their remarks, admitting that
much good had resulted from the oil
development, in the way of furnishing
cheap fuel. There was no antagonism
to the industry; all they wanted was
that the business be conducted with
as little annoyance as possible, and that
their property rights be respected and
their comfort and convenience consid-
cred as far as possible.
The result of the conference was that
a committee of three each of the prop
erty owners and oil men was appointed
to meet with the council committee next
Wednesday evening, when an effort will
be made to frame a satisfactory ordi-
nance. This can be done, if the oil men
will meet the property owners in a
proper spirit.

Southern California; Way

There are single corporations. aye,
individuals, in Southern California, who
spend more money in one year than does
San Francisco and all Central Califor-
ria combined in ten years. 1t would be
almost like stealing to locate a Central
California emigration agent in the heart
of a section that does so much adver-
tising and try to steal their patrons.
The state of the thermometer at Cor
onado Beach is reported by wire and bull
letined daily at thousands of hotels
throughout the world. What hotel in
Central California has had the nerve to
do such work? Photographs and de-
scriptive literature of scenes in Southern
California are found in all the leading
hotels of the east, of Canada. Of Great
Britain and of Continental Europe. This
is work that San Francisco talks about
doing, but which it never accomplishes.
1t is the old story of wanting something
for nothing, and at that no city on earth
can beat San Francisco.-Stockton
