John II. Christie, who married Miss
Mary Il. Preston in Westerly, II. l., the
other day, had just concluded the serv-
ing of a sentence of four years in prison
for highway robbery. The victim of
the crime was Miss Preston herself, and
she was the principal witness against
Christie, testifying with more than
willingness and pushing the case
against him with energy. Then, when
sentence had been passed, that emotion
which is akin to love stirred in the wom-
ans breast. She wrote n sympathetic
letter to him, then visited him, and the
courtship and marriage followed.

Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson Has
No High Opinion OF Their
Methods.

Secretary Wilson has not high opin-
Ion Of the methods of California farm
ers. In fact, he seems 10 be indignant
Mt conditions which prevail in all new
countries to the extent a more or less
bountiful nature viii permit. He says
that only revolution in farming prac-
tees will save the state from eventual
~ degenerating into an arid waste.
The revolution will come, but il Will
come gradually and without the slight
est disturbance of our industries. The
California farmer at present is waiting
TO see how much nature will do for him.
When he finds that the bounty of ma
ture Is about exhausted he will do some
thing for himself. AS long as he can
get fair crop by stirring the top of the
ground little once year, and sowing
the seed he finds the largest profit in,
he will continue TO do as he has done
in the past. When nature protests
against a continual drain, with no re-
Punishment Of her resources, the farm
er will adopt different methods and
will make more money than he does
now. But he will have 10 work harder,
OF, at least, put in more work on a
given area of ground.
Mr.. Wilson says that wheat growing
has been carried on too long. The sec
rotary is right, but wheat growing will
be continued as long as il is profitable.
In England the average wheat crop is
close upon 30 bushels TO the acre. The
land has been sown 10 wheat year after
year, and its productive power has not
been impaired. OF course, the English
farmer does not expect TO give nothing
and take much He feeds his land as
he would an animal Besides feeding
the land he has to pay a yearly rental
equal 20 the value of California wheat
land n little distance from a railroad.
The industry in which the wasteful
methods of California are likely TO
prove most destructive TO the state is
that of stripping mountains and hills
of their trees. This is n waste that
cannot be repaired in short time. 1t
is waste that cuts two ways; il strips
the hills of the growth nature designs
to intercept the moisture which comes
from the sea, and exposes the snow
that falls ON the mountains 10 the rays
of the sun. In this way the cutting
OF forests decreases the precipitation
of rain in the valleys and causes the
mountain SHOWS to melt as they fall.

taken to preserve our forests.-San

TOWN AND COUNTRY.


1hs woods are very green and fair.
And fair and green the glen;
And fair. too. Is the treeiess street
That swarms with living men.
And beautiful are forest aisles
Beneath the centuried oak.
And Beautiful she chimneys tall
That belch with factory smoke.
The songs OF birds. the low OF herds.
The hum OF bees In June.
Chime with the foundry's clash and ciank
In no discordant tune.
God made the undiscerning earth.
The earth II brought forth trees.
God also made discerning man.
And man made factories;
And so the factory and the tree
Are parts OF Natures PLAN
Both man-made mill and earth-made tree
Should please the God-mnde man.
The bobolink's song and the motorman's
gong
Are parts of one refrain:
And so is the crash OF the cataract.
And the rattle OF the train.
The cattied hills and the lowered town.
The wood-path and the alley.
The world-thronged streets whose streams
are men,
And the rivulet-threaded valley
These all are the equal home OF the man
Who loves the human brood;
The home OF the man who loves the world
And calls the whole world good.
The robins strain In the lakewood lane
To this mans ear Is sweet:
And so is the rhythmical pulse OF the pave
With It's tread OF a thousand feet.
He loves TO see the pine tree grow
And see the warehouse loom,
And see the steamboats, throng the wharves
And see the buckwheat bloom.
For towns grow up beside the streams
AS oaks grow on the hills
And mills spring up like growing corn
And homes like daffodils.
The breath OF the fields It's worship yields,
Like prayer II rises high;
And the smoke from a thousand chimney
tops
Is incense to the sky.

ExtInguished.

A young and newly-married couple
were entertaining their friends, and
among the guests was one whose con-
tinued rudeness made him extremely OBJ
jectionable to the rest Of the company.
His conduct, although most Lntear-
able, was put up with for some time,
until at supper he held up on his fork
a piece OF meat which had bean served
to him, and in vein Of intended humor,
he looked round and remarked;

This Immediately drew forth the re-
mark from a quiet-looking individual
sitting at the other end of the table;

OBJECT LESSON IN WEALTH.
How an American Girl Is Teaching
the Pnrisians the Magic
Power of Fortune.

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, Countess de Castellane, To repro
duce in Paris the palace of the Grand
Trianon, as built by the French kings
Mt Versailles more than two centuries
ago. Three quarters of an acre Of land
was bought at the intersection of the
Avenue du Bots de Boulogne and the
Avenue Malakoff, at an expense of close
TO a million dollars, this being the most
costly residential site i'm Paris. Public
interest has been made keen by the
announcement that while the exterior
would hold true To the Fourteenth CEN
fury, the interior was TO be blending
of the fourteenth and fifteenth peri
DDS, IL the Gould millions and the cum
ming of the French architects could
compass this unique desire. The re-
vival of two historic periods in French
architectural history was so remark
able an undertaking that from its be-
ginning the progress of this house has
been followed with such a wide inter-
est as has been given to few purely
private building projects. In May the
family was occupying the central por-
ton, but the interior decoration OF the
two wings probably cannot be COM
pleted in less than two years more.
When IL became known such maison
was TO be attempted many OF the
French said IL would take 20 years to
build and furnish with art treasures;
but western enterprise and local in
genuity promise its completion i'm n
fifth of the time. The property will
then have cost thirty millions of francs.
or six millions of dollars. Both the
count and countess are collectors OF
rare art works and bric-a-b rac, and i'm
n single year, IL is said, they expended
million of dollars in purchases for
their new residence. When the matter
OF ceilings was being arranged for the
Castellan"s went TO Italy and sought
the splendid palace OF Verona. They
did not want the palace. but coveted
the eleven ceilings il contained from the
brush OF Tiepolo, and these could be
secured only by the purchase of the
old MISUNDERSTANDING Page CASTOR.

The finest mushrooms in the world

The New Style of Writing.

Since vertical writing has been ad-
opted in schools it has been consider
ed necessary by some to use a very
stiff and hard pen, and nearly all
the pen makers recommend pens OF
this heavy and unyeilding descrip-
ton. II is an error, however to make
them too stiff, for sufficient action
and fexibility are the essential
qualities of perfect pen. It is well
known that many persons have a
tendency to grip the holder and
press too hard with the pen. This
habit can only be overcome bv using
