Peculiar Accident

A. n. Green was found yesterday
afternoon in an uncoDcious condition
near his stable ia the rear Of the
Green Hotel. AT first it was thought
that be had been kicked by his horse
as be had gone to the stable to har-
ness the animal. The absence Of any
severe contusions, however, leads to
the belief that Mr Green tainted and
the several bruises he sustained we're
caused by his falling. He is unable
to give any account Of the accident.

A humorC us writer has said that
every marksman hits whatever he
shoots at, but that the trouble is
that so many men shoot at moth
ing. The makeup of so many ad-
vertisements suggests that there
are ad. writer's who have no target
in view when they pull the trig-
ger. No advertisement should be
written unless there is a purpose
in view. There should be a single
ness Of aim. Birdshot may do
some execution in a flock of little
blackbirds, but they only serve To-
irritate when directed against big
game, as lion. Advertisements
which fail are those which have no
directness in them Printers Ink.

Teeth and shoea from Paper.

Man will be paper clad in the fu.

impractieable, yet actual use has
proved them equal to those made of
porcelain. Another interesting use
modern ingenuity has found for paper
is to manufacture footgear from it.

in appearance it is almost identical

however, considerably lighter, and so

New York,s Nickname.

1t has repeatedly occurred that a
name applied in derision to persons
has eventually been 2dopted and con-
sidered with pride. Gotham, New
forks alias, was originally given in
derision, because, doubtless, of some
foolish whims of New Workers. The
name was taken from the Merry Tales
of the Madmen of Gotham, satirical
stories written by Adam Borde, Car
thaginian monk, who died in the
tower of London. The name has been
accepted by New Yorkers.

 Then again as to cost. The average artesian well in Southern California will not irrigate more than ten acres of land. and the average cost, to put f: low is about s400-or S40 an acre for a well. This we'll wil not irrigate the len acres ot land except that a reservoir be built to store the water until there IS supply on hand so that the water can be used to advantage and this again increases the cost.
 Occasionally well Is found tha' furnishes enough water to irrigats forty acres of land. but these wells ar' not common. Such well, If 1t costi but siOO. would furnish water at thu rate of SlO per acre, but such case Is the exception to the rule, and tC even this low cost must be added reservoir that would cost as muct more If 1t be a seryiceable one.
 Then comes the annual expense. Il costs some money to keep the wei cleaned out and in good condition This cost depends on circumstances Some wells cost more than others.

 The weak points about a reliance ol artesian water may be summarized a follows:
