How the Tumble Weed Travels.

Tumble weeds spread themselves in
wholesale fashion st. Nicholas tells
that instead of sending the separate
seeds out into the world with wings or
hairs to carry them the whole plant
breaks off near the root when these are
ripe and goes rolling along the ground
before the wind. The bare sun scorched
deserts Of the great west produce several
tumble weeds, and there are some in
the prairie region. 1t is natural that
they should be most abundant where
there are no hills nor trees to stop them
in their course But we have one tum-
bic weed in the east-the old witch
grass, so called maybe because it rides
the wind like an old beldame In Sep
TENDER this grass spreads its head, or
panicle, with hairlike purple branches,
in every sandy field. When the seeds
are ripe, the plants are blown across the
field, often piling up in masses along
fences and hedgerows.

ers printed announcing the various at.
fractions which were to be offered at st.
Pauls, and he used the columns of the
newspapers, not to print merely regular
announcements in small type, but to an.
nounce in big display lines his sermons
and lectures. He had signs painted on
the billboards One of these is an espe-
cially attractive one. 1t is a picture of
the church, well drawn and artistically
painted. On the side of the church, in
letters of yellow, red and blue, is the
notice that everybody is welcome at st.
Paul's.
The results Of this liberal advertising
have been prompt. There were large
congregations at ST. Paul's before, but
now the church is crowded to the doors
at every service, and 1t is a common
occurrence for the ushers to hang out
the sign Standing room only" half an
hour before services begin. The wealthy
Pensioners are there, but they are lost
in the crowd. Girls who wear last
years jackets and natures gloves, men
who wear ready made suits and women
who have left their babies with neigh
Dor swell the throng.
Still, DR.. Garfield keeps ON advertis-
ing. He spreads his posters far and
near. buys space on the suburban trains
and acquires billboards in all sections
of tho city. he employed DR.. J. ].
Lewis, a well know. lecturer, to deliv-
er popular lectures illustrated by the
stereopticon. He started free kinder
garten in the basement of the church,
which is attended by 100 children. He
has organized girls sewing class of
900, which meets Saturday afternoon in
the chapel, and he has now on hand a
project for building big parish house
in connection with the church, where
there will be accommodations for the
various classe., clubs and amusement
circles, as well as room for the dispen-
sary, gymnasium and other departments
which he is organizing.
To the kindergarten is TO be added a
motherhood, class, in which women will
be taught jhe science of maternity, phys
ical laws, sanitation, household econo-
my and home amusement and instruc-
tion of children. There is TO be a class
in emergency instruction for cab driv-
ers, motormer, drug clerks, policemen
and others who are likely to be called
upon to help injured people.
In short, DR. Garfield hopes to make
his church nothing less than university
for applied Christianity. DIR. Can

The Common Spider.

The common garden spider, which
we are in the habit of regarding as a
nuisance, is nevertheless well worth at
tention. In the first place, it possesses
industry, patience and perseverance in
high degree, and il foiled in its pur-
pose or interrupted in its labors it
makes fresh attempts till victory is Sc
cured. This spider, too, Is as noticeable
for the beautiful markings of its body
as it is for the lightness and elastic del
icacy of the web which it constructs.
When seen in good light, by the aid
oil magnifying glass, its beauty is then
fully seen, but it is the beauty Of beast
of prey.
The way in which its web is con-
structed is very interesting. 1t begins by
making the outline, passing from one
leaf or, twig to another. fixing the thread
as it proceeds until the first circle is
completed. The next step is to fill tho
circle up by lines radiating from the
center. To do this the spider fixes its
thread to some convenient part of the
circular outline. 1t then passes carefully
along the circular line, keeping the
thread it is now spinning free with its
hind feet until it reaches the spot oppo-
site to that where it began and fixes it
there, so that the area is now crossed by
thread The spider then begins at the
middle of this thread, fastens another,
carrying it to the outer circle and fixing
it, and so on until the circle is filled up
with the radii. Having tested its
strength, it now begins at the center
with the circular lines. The first rings
are pretty close together, but are gradu-
ally widened as they recede from the
center I'd ere securely fyed to the radii.
When finished. it proceeds to the center,
bites off the points Of the lines which
meet there by this mode the net is
made more elastic It then takes up a
position in the center and watches for
its prey. Some of these spiders Turk I'M
der leaf or in corner and have lines
OF communication with the net which
serve to inform them when their prey is
entangled. Then the spider is quickly
on the spot, and the poor victim is Sc
cured.

PIOUS ENTERPRISE.

METHODS TO THE PULPIT.

He AdvertIses st. PRul's Church, Chicago,
on Btllboerds and In the Street Cars
and Has Adopted All Sorts of Popular
AuxiIiarics.
Rev. A. J. Garfield, vito has attract
ed a good deal Of attention and caused
much comment among his clerical
brothers by the novel methods which he
employs to advertise his church, il pas
tor Of st. Pauls, ono Of the handsomest
churches on Prairie avenue, Chicago.
and his congregation comprises some of
the wealthiest families in the city.
Or. Garfield las surprised all Chi
cago by the boldness Of his innovations
in church work Although there was
seldom any difficulty in filling the big
auditorium Of the beautiful brownstone
edifice that stands in the most fashion
able quarter Of the city, he was not sat
isfied with the work he was doing
When he first took the pulpit, his audi
ences were composed Of richly dressed
men and women, who came in carriages
and wore rustling silks and patent
feathers DR.. Garfield wanted to reach
the people Of the South Side. He an
nounced that the church was free for
all, but the South Siders could not be-
lieyo it. The magnifcence of the church
and the neighborhood awed them.
DR.. Garfield conferred with the elders
of the church. He told them of his aims
and asked them for advice. He urged
the practical business men who had
made fortunes for themselves and had
built up great business houses to tell
him what ought to be done to keep
great church from becoming an ecclesi-
astical fossil. They hardly knew what
advice to give him, they said
"Well," said DR.. Garfield, turning to

Using. l advertised $50 days in the
year"
Then why can't we advertise our
church and make a success of that too?"
"We can. That's the very thing to
dc" responded the elders.
This was what DR.. Garfield had in
mind and he proceeded to put his the.
Dry into practice He did not do it in any
half way manner either. He advertised
his church and his sermons just as if ne
had been advertising department store

Nancy" True Story Of Wise Cat.
Craft OF the Common Spider How
the Tumble Weed Travels.

My brother Ned. who has 8 fancy
For pets Of sll sorts, brought one day
Some goldfish to the room where Nancy.
With fer four kits beside her, lay.
And mother thought it rather risky.
"For cats are fond Of fish. my DEAR
And kittens can help being frisky.
/ wouldn't put temptation near"
But the glass bowl, with water Drumming,
Stood all a-sparkIe Ia the light,
And round and round the goldfish swimming
We're really such pretty sight
That Ned protested; ~ shall teach her
They re not for her 10 touch . he said
And, lifting up the purring creature,
He tapped her smartly on the head.
"Attention, Pussi See here q rninute"--
Az Nancy squirmed beneath his thumb
fThese fish are mine, and you're not in It'll
Youth catch what Paddy gaYe the drum,
And more besides. first time I find you
So much as winldng at 'ern. Sec?
lust tuck that In your noddle. mind you.
And keep sharp lookout FOE mel"
He put her down, all rough and fluffy.
And Nancy gave herself a shake
And marched of, tail up. mighty huffy,
But looking very wide awake.
ftShe knows which side her bread is butteredi'
Laughed Ned. "She knows the goose hangs
hight"
"She'll eat those goldfish by and by"
"Not shell" And he declared he'd risk IL.
"why, Nancy was nobody fool.
He'd bet his head against biscuit
She wouldn't" so ran off 70 school.
For some domestic thing or other
There came. in Bridget's dulcet tone
Soon afterward, n call for mother.
And then the cat was left alone.
Straightway perceiving she was able
Her little plan to carry out
Nancy just leapcd upon the table
And took the kittens, turn about.
Then showing them the fish, precisely
As Ned had shown them her before,
She boxed each pair of ears quito nicely
And set them back upon the floor
III mother had not seen her do it.
(The door was open just a crack.
And she could easily peep through ii
As to the room she hurried back)-
You mightn't give tho story credit
But every word is just as true
As IL George Washington had said ii
And done il with his Ratchet too.
Another thing is true az surely,
That, unmolested from that day,
The goldfish swim around securely,
And not a kit viii wink their way.
Ned laughs when people talk about it,
And answers, just cool as COOL
He knew quite well enough without it
That Nancy was nobody's fool.

$500 FOR AN APPETITE
The Story of Bad Bargain People Never
Want to Eat---Others Cannot Satisfy
Their Hunger
Valuable Pointers For Those Who Do Not Know What is
Enjoy Hearty Neutrality-suspicious. Others Who Can Eat
Their Fill. But Invariably Suffer Serious Consequences
Why's and Wherefores

According to an ancient fable beggar
once sold his appetite, his unsatisfied
hunger, to an over-fed baron The price
paid was hundred pounds, and all the
choicest food and drink that could be con-
sumed by the beggar for a fortnight. At
the end of the specified time the gorged,
besotted and dyspeptic mendicant would
have given millions had he possessed them,
for his old cravings for even the plainest
food. But the gods had willed it other
wise and he soon died a miserable death.
This story, mythical as it is, has many
Implications in real life. There are
thousands of men and women in Southern
California today who would gladly ex-
change appetites and stomachs too, for
that matter. If such thing were possible,
with an humble fellow-man.
Life is maintained by the daily injection
of food, and this food repairs the great
waste of tissues going on in all parts of
the body. You can't even wink your eye
without using up little tissue. The tis-
sues of the body are constantly being eaten
up by the processes of life. To renew and
replace these wornout tissues is the special
work of the stomach.

NATIVE SONS PARADE

Frank Sabichi, the grand marshal of
the Native Sons parade on Admission
day, has chosen Lieutenant F. c. Cor

be made on September 1, Headquar
ters for parade business have been es-
tablished at 1852 South Main street, and
all entries to the parade must be made
before September 5.
The Native Sons parade will probably
exceed anything in the line of civil and
military display ever lseld in Southern
California, Native Sons from all over
the southern part of the state and as far
north as Santa Cruz will march in the
parade, which will also include the Ma
tional Guard and the fire department.
La Legion Francaise and the Garibaldi
Guards will turn out, and efforts are
now being made to have a uniformed
battalion of the Knights of Pythias in
line. 1t is confidently expected that
nearly $4,000 people will take part in the
parade. An invitation is extended to
any civil or independent military organi-
zation to march. All details of the pa
rade can be learned at headquarters.

Do You Enjoy Your rleals ?

The stomach is big organ that usually
reflects the habits of it's owner-for Amer
leans are strange people at table. There
is popular belief that the stomach di-
gests everything that is swallowed and
this error has led to much indiscretion re-
garding diet. If people would try to under
stand the principles of digestion, they
would select food that would not overwork
the stomach, for digestion goes on without
effort or distress.
When disease has fastened upon you
nothing but the skill of a successful spec
ialist will help you back to health.
Home medicines and patent medicines
are worthless in stomach troubles, for each
case must be examined and the cause de-
tected before you can apply the remedies.
Some of the indications of Indigestion are
nausea on arising in the morning, occa-
sionally vomiting, belching of gas, water
brash, a dizziness, a coated tongue and
constipation; sometimes a thick slime is
spat up; there is pain after eating, with

CAUGHT THE TRIGGER
A Painful Accident to Young New
hall Ranch Hand

In taking down gun to clean it yes
terday, Arthur Walton managed to put
a bullet in his leg. Walton lives at
Humphries a small station about four
teen miles north of Newhall, and is
ranch hand. Yesterday noon he went
to his room and took down his revolver
for the purpose of cleaning it. The gun,
a 32-caliber Smith G. Wesson, was in the
pocket of a coat hanging on hook. As
Walton reached downwards the trigger
caught on the edge of the pocket and ex-
ploded. The bullet tore its way through
the fieshy part of his eight hand, bored
a hole in his right leg just above the
knee and lodged in the calf of his leg.
Walton climbed on the south bound
train and went to the receiving hospital,
where DR.. Ralph Hagan unsuccessfully
probed for the bullet. IHis wounds were
bound up, and, today Walton will be
sent to the county hospital.

SPECIAL BOARD MEETING
Tomorrow Night to Decide About

The board of education will hold a

yesterday that the state law provides
that the school year shall be not less
than eight months long. and further that
the schools shall close not later than
June 30th.
I'VE need ten months of school for
each years course of study, and if We
cut month from each year we have to
crowd the work of ten months into nine
each year. AS for the erroneous pub
liShed statement that we want 100 more
teachers, the real fact is this: The state
fund pays for 334 teachers; we employ
1885, and therefore the board wished to
draw upon the city to pay the 101 teach
ers that are otherwise left unprovided
