A Saving That Is Loss.

Isn't it possible to have too much
economy? If we serimp and pinch
every bit Of sweetness out of life, what
a heavy price we pay for economy
Often one may lose a friend or catch
a disastrous cold, or miss a train for
some little miserable point of economy.
A woman will press her way to a bar
gain counter at danger to life and limb
and pickpockets, and go away radiant
with a pair of f1fty-nine-cent gloves
which will last about three wearings
The same woman will go to an incom-
petent dressmaker and have her new
gown ruined in the name of economy.
Economy is wealth" sayeth the wise
saw, but the poor make-believe econ
omy which overreaches itself defeats
it's own purpose and leads to nothing
but the direst poverty of spirit and
purse. Before raShly deciding on q
point of economy it is fully worth while
to sit down and figure out which is the
more profitable, to leave the gas burn
ing or waste matches. = Carrie E. Gar

OBJECT LESSON In WEALTH.
An American Girl Is Teaching tn
Parisians It's Magic Power.

Parisians had heard of the late Jay
Gould and his high-piled millions of
money, but for the past two years they
have been receiving a special object
lesson on the power Of wealth in new
world hands, in the effort of his daugh-
ter, the Countess de Castellane, to re-
produce in Paris the palace Of the
Grand Trianon, as built by the French
Kings at Versailles more than two cen
turtles ago. Three-quarters of an acre
of land was bought at the intersection
of the Avenue du Bois de Bouiogne and
the Avenue Malakoff, at an expense Of
close to million of dollars, this being
the most costly residential site in Paris.
Public interest has been made keen by
the announcement that while the ex-
terror would hold true to the fourteenth
century, the interior was to be a blend
ing of the fourteenth and fifteenth Pc
riods, If the Gould millions and the
cunning of the French architects could
compass this unique desire. The re-
vival of two historic periods in French
architectural history was so remarkable
an undertaking that from it's beginning

BLARE AND THUNDER.
It Was Osborn,s Treat.

The late Charles Osborn, the New
York broker, and General Custer were
intimate friends, and Osborn annually
visited the General at his camp on the
plains. During one Of the Indian cam
paigns he invited Osborn and a party
of friends out to Kansas, and after
giving them buffalo hunt arranged
a novel experience in the way of an
Indian scare. AS Osborn was lying in
his tent one night firing was heard
at the outposts and the rapid riding
of pickets. Boots and saddles" was
the order in the disturbed atmosphere
of the night, and Custer appeared to

But Custer was gone, and the camp

blaze, and shots, oaths and warwhoops
were intermixed, until suddenly a

his face-a human scalp. He dropped

Digestion OF Different Foods.

1t depends on how your food is cooked
whether 1t is digestible or not. 1t is
no secret that the favorite soft-boiled
eggs are harder to digest than raw eggs,
and that hard boiled eggs are easier to
digest than either, for they are digest
ed in two and three quarters hours,
while soft-boiled eggs take three and
one-haf. 1t is interesting to know
that if a hard-boiled egg be cut into
thin slices and spread on bread it al
most melts in your mouth. The method
of preparation has much to do with
the digestibility of meat. Professor If
felmann, noted German scientist,
made some interesting experiments on
a boy whose stomach was laid bare by
an accident He found that roasted
meats were digested better than any
others. Roast beef required only two
and three-quarters hours to digest,
while boiled beef required three and
one-half hours, or If 1t was very tat,
three and three-quarters hours. Corned
beef was not digested until after six
and three-quarters hours. In general.
cooked meat is softer, tenderer AMI
tastes better than raw. Yet if raw

quite digestible, for then 1t is exposed
to the acids Of the stomach thoroughly.
Even milk is easier to digest when
boiled, requiring but half an hour,
while the raw milk takes two and one
quarter hours to digest. When a long
continued milk diet is prescribed by
the physician, 1t should always be
taken boiled, If the quantity consumed
daily is more than two pints. If a per-
son wishes to live on nothing but milk,
he must drink at least three pints a
day. Vegetables, too, are easier to di-
gest when cooked, with the exception
of cabbage, which is better raw.

ity of the mountains nothing can be
done, say the forest authorities, to stop
the devastation. 1t is thought that the

BRYAN'S BRUTAL ASSAULT.

MI Dry al DFuId1 remark IN MS
speech in this place last Thursday, will
long plague him. He whisked into
and whisked out of the State, but in
the seven days he spent in it, most of
the time in the Yosemite Valley and on
board cars, he pretends to have OBJ
served that we feed stray hogs but let
men starve: that we have more con-
Germ in this State for pork than for
humanity; that we are so unkind and
distressed and times are so hard that
we feed stray hogs "but all over the
State people are drifting from place to
place, and many are unconscious of
their sufferings and Indifferent to their
welfare" Then we were advised to
give attention to our people as well
as to hogs.
In saying this Bryan brutally, gross
ly and indecently insuIted our people
and fatty lied about conditions He
was not here long enough to know
what local conditions are "all over this
State" or in even a small portion of It.
The charge he makes is not true as
every one knows, for never before was
there a time when there was such de-
mand for labor and so few to fill it.
At no time, however, have Califor-
mans been Indifferent to human suf-
ferings. Bryan scandalously and coarse
ly slandered California and Californians
will not forget it. But then, what
else can be expected of a. political dem
agogue who roves about from place to
place, living on the fat of the land, and
apparently his sole occupation being of
fee seeking, and trouble promoting.
The English and German Govern
ments have semi-officially given it TO
be understood that the Paris Exposi-
tion will not be boycotted by them be-
cause of the outcome of the Dreyfus
case. Both nations resent the sugges-
ton that they will lend themselves to
such mean devices. On the contrary eff
forts will now be redoubled to make
national endeavor for the Paris Expos
lLlOn notable. WnaL mas the exposition
matter to do with the politics of France
anyhow? At least let it be asked
what foreign States have to do with
the court-martialing Of a French off,
Ger, that they should insult and snub
the French people at large? We re-
peat, that While the sympathetic man
ifestations for Dreyfus speak well for
tenderness of heart and jealousy of lib
erty, and testify to our sensibility to
defeat of justice, we will regret it very
much if we permit our emotions to
prompt us to any sort of boycotting of
the exposition the French people are
preparing for the worlds good.
The telegraphic reports say that
when Mr.. Bryan was interviewed on
his return home from his trip to Cali
fornia, he declared this State to be
/ full of promise for him; that the anti
/ imperialistic sentiment" as he terms
| it, is widespread, great in volume and
rapidly growing in California. In the
name of reason where did the man find
anything upon which to base such an
! assertion?
The record-union., 1899-09-14

And now the news is that Dreyfus
is very sick and that his physician says
he cannot live at best more than a few
months. The strain upon the nerves
has produced an affection of the
stomach which fncapacitates it to care
for food, and the man is slowly fading
away. 1t will be unhappy for the
French Government if Dreyfus dies in
prison, since there will always be those,
and they will be multitude, to insist
upon it that he was put out Of the
way by poison. Notwithstanding that
the calm mind will find it impossible
to contemplate such crime on the part
Of President Loubet's administration,
for Dreyfus upon conviction became, or
will very soon become, a prisoner Of the
civil authorities, and will be removed
from the custody of the military. The
swiftly, safe and sure thing for the
French President to do is to pardon

fall. But as a matter Of fact we do
know that there is exceeding close re-
lation between the timbered and the
rainfall conditions of country. Where
the native growth is ample, SO too, gen.
orally is the precipitation from the
rain clouds.
The extent to which orchard and
shade tree planting affects rainfall con-
ditions, may not be stated, but that
the spread of orchards. and the much
planting of shade trees, do have benefi-
ficial effect upon temperature, and at
mospheric humidity. and some effect
upon precipitation and storage capacity
of the soil, is not to be questioned.
How far this may apply to the con-
ditions set forth by our correspondent
we'cannot speak. OF course cultivation
of the soil beneath orchard growth
having a tendency to quicken the run
off and lessen the storage capacity Of
the soil, in a measure counteracts the
beneficial influence of the shelter the
orchard growth affords the soil.
But as a rule tree growth has this
effect upon atmosphere charged with
water to nearly the point of satura-
ton; when the tree growth interposes
in the path of such current of air
moving swiftly the foliage taxes UP a
part of the moisture and, part is
turned aside, and when the higher por-
tion of the current meets a stratum
Of cold air the vapor is precipitated as
rain.
The foliage Of trees augments evapo-
ration from itself. and checks it from
the soil by the shelter afforded with
consequent conservation of humidity.
Evaporation is a vapor, of course, and
hence the action of the foliage is to
increase the humidity of the atmos-
phere and this must have a tendency
in some degrees to induce rain, there
fore it is not unreasonable to suppose
that orchard planting as extensively
practiced as in California exerts in
fuence upon rainfall.
Concerning the whole question, how
ever, of the effect of orchard planting
in California upon the climate and the
rainfall, we should say that while it
is beneficent. we cannot find reason
to believe that it has had as yet meas
urable material influence upon the
rainfall, comparable with that exerted
by the vast forest areas, the destruc-
ton of which now so rapidly going on,
threatens the State with disaster.

body of Philip Cochran, who was found
dead in bed at his home, 1917 Seventh
street. this morning. The autopsy re-
vealed that some time during last night
deceased had taken dose of carbolic
acid las result Coroner Mehrmann will
hold an inquest tomorrow night.
Cochran had been a sufferer from ec-
Zema for long time. 1t had been his
custom for some time past to apply to
one of his limbs poultice of fat Satur-
ated with carbolic acid Yesterday he
called on his butcher as usual for the fat
and on his way home purchased a small
bottle of carbOlic acid.
Before deceased retired last night he
closely scrutinized a large picture of him
self which decorated his room, and, turn
ing its face to the wall remarked to his
wife as she was about to leave the room
to retire to her chamber, II wish that |
was dead These were the last words
Mrs. Cochran heard from her husband S
lips When she went to his bedside this
morning to arouse him he was dead but
not until the autopsy so revealed was it
supposed that he had committed suicide.
Deceased was native of Ireland. aged
80 years. For many years he was in the

INSURANCE MANAGERS
ADOPT AMENDMENTS
Business Closed to Companies Not
Members of the Pacific
Board

DEL MONTE, March 1.-THE matter of
constitutional amendments came up to-
day at the first session of the Board of
Fire Underwriters of the Pacific Coast
Two amendments were passed which
mean much to the management of fire in
surance business on the Pacific coast. es-
pecially with regard TO companies that
are not members of the Pacific board. The
first provides that a principal representa-
tive or general manager may represent
only board companies and not non-board
companies. and the second permits any
company. whether board or non-board, to
have one local agent in San Francisco.
This action virtually closes the Pacific
coast business to companies not belonging
to the Pacific board.
The balance of the afternoon and the
whole of the evening session were occu-
pied with consideration of the question
of rates for San Francisco, which was
continued from yesterday. The subject is
one of such vital Importance to the board
that it is determined to consider all sides
before taking final action. Therefore the
vote, which was to have been reached to-
day, was deferred till tomorrow.
