Twenty years OF successful exper-
fence as a Real Estate Agent enables
me to state that 1 have done well for
investors, when they followed my adj
vice.
The attention Of those having money
to invest is called to the fact that there
are great opportunities to make splen-
did investments in San Francisco Real
Estate at the present time. The con-
dition OF realty at present favors the
buyer. This is the time to invest when
properties can be purchased at low
prices.
San Francisco has a great future; all
unite on this point. 1t is TO be the
great city of the Pacific Coast and the
man Who buys now will make himsal:
rich.
offer my experience and knowledge
OF values of property TO those who de-
sire to purchase business properties
for income, or improved lots or blocks
for investment. Information cheer
fully given in reference TO all matters
pertaining TO Real Estate in San Fran
cisco. l will be happy to correspond
in relation thereto.
Sometimes estates are divided, and
the property has to be sold; in this
way fine purchases can be made. The
undersigned possesses information OF
all such sales and can advise buyers
as to values.

A Fanous War Horss.

Sheridan's horse. Winchester sur
vived the war till Oct. .. 1878. His
stuffed body is still shown to visitors
At the Governors Island museum. He
is decked in his old harness. and a
biographical sketch by General Sheri-
dan hangs by his side. which %recounts
that Winchester was of Blackhawk
blood. and was foaled at or near
Grand Rapids, Mich. late in the fall
OF 1883. He was brought into the serv-
ice by an officer Of the 2d Michigan
cavalry. of which regiment 1 was APP
pointed colonel. May -. 1862. At Rien-
I'll. Miss. he wa presented to me by
Captain Campbell. i'm the name OF the
officers of the regiment. and from that
date until the close of the war he was
ridden by me in nearly every engage
ment in which l took part. 'sS
AT the time he was given TO me he
was rising 3 years old. so that he must
ave been in his Goth year when he
died. He was an animal of great in
telligence. strength and endurance. He
always held his head high. and. by the
quickness of his movements, gave
mar persons the idea that he was ex-
ceedingly impetuous. This was not so.
for 1 could at any time control him
by a firm hand and svfeY words. and
he was cooi-and fdfet under fire as
one Of my own soldiers. . l doubt II his
superior AS a horse. for field service,
was ever ridden by any one"

Proper Height for Chairs and Desks.

Some curious experiments have been
made by a Harvard professor to deter
mine what is really the best height for
chairs and desks. Every person.. 1t ap-
pears, ought To have "A chair specially
made to suit his or her height, and the
seat of the chair should be exactly
~one-quarter of you height from the
floor. Thus, IL YOU are six feet high.
the chair seat should be Is inche The
width of the seat should exactly equal
its height, and IL should slope back
ward three-ouarters Of an inch to the
foot. The back should be a trife higher
than the seat. and sloped slightly. not
too much. Finally. your desk should be
two-thirds as high again at the seat of
your chair. Thus. il your chair seat
is "a inches. the desk should be 40
inches in height. When you have at
tended to all these little details. IL is
said that you can sit and write all day
without feeling that backache that
comes from chairs and desks that don't
fit you.

returning from "a successful raid on the
city garbage pile. with his hide soaked
with bad whiskey and his lighting
blood boiling hot. started I'm to make
a good indian or two ON his return To
the slaughterhouse reservation yester-

was about his size and he was beating
her about the head with I club until
Denny Kinds of the treasurer's Office
and William Shiffelbin. a deputy as
SCISSOR. came driving by and witnessed
the ARRAY. Kinds attempted TO stop
the Indian. when the latter turned ON
him and attempted To strike him with
the club. but Denny was one too many
for the Indian, and he laid him out and
bundled him into the buggy n tool

tered him on "A charge of wife beating.
The squaw was badly injured. Her
head. face and body were covered with

subject. though Under Sheriff Murphy

where he obtained 1t and several parties
will probably be arrested for furnish

The Decay Of English Humor.

We wonder if the habit of humorous
thought, which was SO marked in Sir
Frank Lockwood, who was not exactly
a witty man, is decreasing among us.
1t certainly comes much less to the
front, perhaps from the fears of which
we have been speaking. The almost en-
tire disappearance Of true humorists
from the House of Commons-Mr. Wal
lace is nearly the last, If not the last
of the race-is proof sufficient of that
fact, and there is also the noteworthy
decline in humorous poetry, and even
of many kinds of humorous prose. OF
epigram there is plenty, of satire a lit
tie and the supply of Bitterness
times healthy, sometimes morbid
seems endless; but humor in it's wider
sense is confined to the House of Lords.
Lord Salisbury dare jest, and Lord
Rosebery smile.
AS the population increases, and has
not changed in its character, in which
humor has always been a permanent
element. there cannot be less of it than
there was, and we are forced to sup
pose that causes are at work which in.

matists. who, being used to courts. re-
gard that criticism as a compliment.
The spread of democracy, too, is not fa-
vorable to humor. the masses, though
they enjoy it in way, having always
secret fear that the man who laughs,
and especially the ariStocrat who
laughs, is laughing secretly at them.
