PRESENT DAY THOUGHTS,
BY G. Grosvenor Dave.

A Washington .Memorial.-A few
CT the idea of making next December
14th (the hundredth anniversary of his
DEATH a Washington memorial day
throughout the country.
1t is winning approval in several i'm
portant bodies, and their influence Is
already being exerted to bring it to
pass.
The Society of American Authors,
which includes Mrs Julia Ward Howe,
Mrs. E. H. Walworth, General Lew
Wallace and others of Importance has
sent the following resolution in en-
crossed form to the President of the
United States, to the Vice President
and to the Speaker of the House. In
addition it has distributed one thou
sand printed copies throughout the
country:
Whereas, The fourteenth day of next
December marks the completion of one
Washington; and
Whereas, The Society of American
Authors recognizes the Importance of
giving special emphasis to such CEN
centennial; therefore be it
Resolved. BY the society in annual
meeting assembled, that fit recogni-
tion of the occasion would be the legal
cessation of all avoidable, labor for that
day, in order that the nation may be
free to do honor to the memory of one
whose life and acts and patriotism have
in large measure rendered possible the
progress, the strength and the political
freedom of the United States"
Similar action has been taken by the
Daughters of The Cincinnati, and be-

1t is a wonderful soap
that takes hold quick and
does no harm.
No harm! 1t leaves the
skin soft like a baby's; no
alkali in it, nothing but
soap. The harm is done by
alkali. Still more harm is
done by not washing. So,
bad soap is better than
none.
What is bad soap? I'm
perfectly made; the fat

anced or not combined.
What is good soap?
Pears.
All sorts of stores sell it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use 1t.

ing feature in color, scheme,

For this originality, first the
merchant and then the Gus
toner is made to pay dearly.
The prices are rarely under
$1,000, and, frequently 10000

they ought to bring Considering cost to us)
Sryishy dressed French women do not pay
5000 to 10000 for their hats, nor even half
} those prices. Pattern hats and copies of French
fats. rs we know them, are but rarely worn in
the streets of Paris. What is worn, are at
tractlve hats, full of chic, and yet not extremes
in design or price.
With view to bringing to Sacramento a
collection of these real French hats-the very
! kinds and styles that fill the windows of the
great Bon Marche the Louvre and the interest
ing smaller shops the Rue de Pax "a short
street in Paris the fashion heart of the world)-
} we placed orders for fifty as handsome hats as
ccl;ld be selected to sell at moderate prices Re-
! garding this order, our New York office wrote
us few Gays ago:
"The Of fifty French hats
left Paris February 18th, and
shipped from Havre Feb
ruary 18th, by steamship La
Normandie. They reached here
February 9th. and have been
sent on to you."
The above hats have arrived in Sacramento
and will be open for viewing and for selling for
|, tie first time with the opening of business on
Saturday morning, April Sth The prices will
range from $500 to SI2. So
This is the first time collection of real
; French hats, such as the average Partisan wo-
man wears in every day life, has been brought to
, the Pacific Coast We take great pleasure in
inviting you to so unusual an exhibit
In this collection of real French hats are
many things artistic and pretty and quite diff
ferent from Our ideas We also find other Gre
ations that are inferior to Our own hats and not
!, SO well adapted to our trade. Indeed, the eff
forts of Our millinery work1nen are strictly up
to-date and do not suffer in comparison with
these French strangers.
In New York and Eastern cities it is pre-
dicted that American millinery will soon be in
demand in Europe, just as American tailor
made costumes for women now lead the world
AS stated above, the French hats will be on
sale and exhibition for the first time, Saturday
morning, April 9th, and the prices will range
from $500 to $3.50.

/ notice that there is a good deal said
in the press in regard to the value of
beet leaves for feed, and that they
are more or less fed 70 stock of diff
ferent kinds In sections where farmers
grow beets for factories. hardly need
dwell on the value of beet leaves for
food. All who have had any experience
with them will readily concede their
nutritive value. If free from dirt they
would be an available addition to the
list of silo plants, yet | cannot help
feeling that the ones who have given
this subject most attention are right
when they assert that these leaves are
more valuable left on the ground in
the fields as a fertilizer, inasmuch as
they contain exactly the right elements
that the soil needs, and in available
form. 1t is all very well to assert
that they can be taken back after be-
ing fed in the form of barnyard
manure. The trouble is that they are
not likely to go back where they are
needed and that is, where they came
from. We should leave the beet leaves
on the ground as a fertilizer and feed
the pulp. says G. r. Saylor.

HOMEMADE supsoIL Pillow.

enough for draft horse The share, or
point, is Of peculiar shape, and is
made Of a new, large, steel bull
tongue cultivator Shovel" three
inches wide. The bull tongue" is cut
as shown in the figure, leaving long,
piercing, wedgelike point. The three
fourth inch missions at a a, allow the
upper half of the blade to be bent or
rolled backward, forming long, deep
groove that clamps very securely
around the standard of the plow,
where 1t is firmly bolted. The long,
tapering point, when the wheel is ad
justed for subsoiling to the desired
depth, lies perfectly fiat in its course
through the soil--the curvature of the
upper half of the blade being quite
sufficient to lift, ground mole fash
ion," the entire bottom of the furrow,
while the passage of the standard,
through the midst of this upheaval,
breaks and pulverizes the hitherto
hard compact subsoil in a very thor
Ough and satisfactory manner. The
handles are those of an ordinary cul-
tivator, and the wheel, seven inches in
diameter, was purchased from a scrap
Iron man for 10 cents. There being
some quite heavy forging upon the
beam in bending it to the desired shape
and In cutting the share down to the
proper form. it will be necessary to call
upon the blacksmith for that part of
the operation.
To those unfamiliar with the practice
of subsoiling it may be well to say
that this implement is planned to fol-
low the breaking pillow, tearing up and
mellowing the bottom of the furrow
to the depth Of about eight inches.
Thus 1t will be plain that, If the break,
ing pillow be turning to the depth of
eight inches, the subsoiler stirs up
another eight inches deeper, leaving
the plant or seed bed pulverized to the
depth Of 10 inches.

BOARD OF EDUCATION MAY NOPE.
Plans for Removal from Present Quar~

Plans for Removal from Present Quar-
| ters Presented to Board of Finance.
| The board of finance held regular
ly payrolls for all the departments.
Among the bills presented was one
from the physician who cared for the
two cases of smallpox recently ats
springside cottage. The bill was for
$340, and as there is only $100 left In
the board of health's appropriation for
cure of contagious diseases, the board
of finance decided to recommend to the
court of common council that $24O be-
transferred from the contingent fund
to make UP the amount of the physi-
clans bill.
President Whitney Of the board Of ed
ucation appeared before the board Of
finance and stated that the board Of
education had a chance to move it's Of
fees into larger and more commodious
quarters and desired an expression Of
opinion from the board of finance as to
the advisability Of making the change.
Mr.. Whitney stated that the present
quarters of the department of educA-
tion on Center street We're too small
and said that larger new quarters
could be secured in central location
1t is understood that a. one-story build
ing on Orange street is to be raised
another story, and that the board of
education desires to secure the second
floor for it's offices. The board of fl
nance after hearing Mr.. Whitney gave
no expression of opinion.
