Diego. Cal. Mrs. ]. F. Swift, S24 Velencia
street, San Francisco, is the State regent

TATTOO MARKS-R. w, Watsonv1lle,
Cal The Chemical News is authority for
the statement that tattoo marks can be
made to disappear by being first Wen
rubbed with a salve of pure acetic acid
and lard, then with a solution of potash
and finally with hydroehloric acid.
PUBLIC LANDS-Settler, San Jacinto,

numbers of land, and such information
will always be furnished free of charge

For literature or the question of the cleo
ton of United States Senator'S by the d.
rect vote of the people consult Poole's In
dex of Current Literature and the Cumu-
lative Index to Current and Periodical
Literature. These will direct you to arti-
cles that have been published on the sub
ject.
CIVIL SERVICE-A A.. R., City. The
question when will the civil service ex-
animation take place in this city?' is too
indefinite to admit of an answer, as 1t is
impossible to determine what examina-
ton you refer to-the United States or the
local civil service. The inquiry should
also state the character of examination
the writer wishes to know about.
RUNS IN CRIBBAGE-Su Subscriber, City.
If in game of two-handed cribbage the
cards are played in the following order
1, 2, g. s. 4, Z, 6, 2-there is run of down
to the last deuce, then run of from the
last deuce to the first one. In that game
the cards do not have to be played in Sc
quenee in order to count runs, but may be
counted backward OF forward, so long as
they will make a sequence.
CUTTING TIMBER. A, Plymouth,
Cal. The fact that man settled under
the homestead laws upon a piece of land
cut timber, then moved away, making his
home elsewhere, but at different times
came back to the land he first occupied
to haul the timber he had cut to market
does not give him any right to hold the
lard, if he has absented himself for more
than six months from the same.

BILE shows the difference between natural

Artificial Red Oranges.

German chemists, with their profound
love for investigation, have been probing
the blood orange with remarkable results.
The popular idea in the and of the Kaiser
was that the blood orange, or, as they. call
it, the Italian blood orange" is colored
not by nature, but by the injection of
some artificial vegetable dye. According
" they set out, first, to find out from the
fruit itself the nature of this dye. and,
second. to find a means of Changing the
common Italian orange into a blood
orange by the injection of different kinds
of coloring matter.
1t was found however. that no single
injection of any dye would color more

The yzqufsitive Antelope.

An antelope is as curious as wom- an. If the hEllter will lie down in the grass and wave red handkerchief, a balid of antelope will keep cireling around until within reasonable distance for q safe shot. After completing a cfse.l the antelope halt suddenly and bring down che fore foot with | yigor- Cts stamp On tie ground, and at the same instant they make sort of snort that sounds like a half whistle. That is the propit:ous moment for pepperng them with rife balls.
 learned this trick when frontiers man came along and found me crawl ing for miles on the level prairie en. deavoring to get q shot at one Of the timid creatures. The man asked me if l thought l could get him. answered: "Get him. I've got to get him. I'm out of meat He then posted he about lying still and flirting with the handkerchief. and I found they liked that better thaa chasing. and I made an entry right there that an antelope possessed some of the characteristics of woman.-ExchaEge.

 "Take q man with all aquiline nose. clear cut features and broad brow. then imagine this individual with long, dropping lnustache: why. it aecen- tuates the whole 'droop' of the face and spoils it. Such man should have small pointed beard and a mustache with ends pointing slightly upward.
