FLOWERS CAN HATE.

Accordi ng to French scientist,
flowers are endowed with passions like
human beings, and there are few
among them which cannot love and
hate fervently.
: s'They have their sympathies snd
antipathies, he explains, "and If we
study them closely we can easily ind
them out. Roses are passionately
fond of some flowers, and flourish
when near them. On the other hand,
they speedily wither when placed near
other flowers, and we must infer that 1t
is because the latter are not congenlal
to them. Heliotropes and violets have
q lively sympathy for each other, and
in like manner there seems to be
warm friendship between pansies and
carnations.
"If it can be proved that flowers
can love and hate, says German
writer, commenting on this state
ment, sit ought not to be difficult tc
prove that they have souls.

a NOVEL CLOCK.

In Geneva very novel and useful
clock has just been constructed Its
principal feature is pnonograpn,
which will reproduce tomorrow and st
precisely the same hour any words
that may be spoken into it today.
The usefulness of such timepiece
is manifest Suppose, for example,
you have an important appointment
for tomorrow at B o'clock in the eve-
ming and do not wish to forget 1t, all
that is necessary for you to do is to
take the phonograph attached to the
clock and say into it, II have an APP
pointment today with - at 8
O. clock. - If you utter these words at
O'Clock today they will be reproduc-
ed at 8 O'Clock tomorrow, and thus
you will have ample time to keep
your appointment.
AS an aid to memory knot in ones
handkerchief has hitherto proved OF
much service, but it is certainly not
as useful as this monograph clock.

Perhaps the handsomest equipment
Of a saddle horse in the United States

of Santa Barbara. Cal. Mr.. Thompson
is a pioneer, who went to California
in l849, and, perceiving that the OLD
fashions were rapidly dying out. de.
tsrmined to preserve an example OF
the splendid horse trappings OF the
Spanish Californian caballero.
Collecting about $50 Mexican dollars
(which are of purer silver than those
coined in the minis of the United
States) he handed them over to some
clever metal workers, who decorated
the saddle profusely with silver ana
constructed bride wholly of silver.

OLD BOOK SELLING.

In STEAMBOAT there are several book
stores. the proprietors of which ara
either Persians, Arabians, Abyssinians
or Turks. Not in the frequented
streets are these stores, but in dark
and narrow alleys. The books in
them comprise various editions Of the
Koran, translated into all the Ian
guages of the Orient; theological and
historical treatises on the Koran in
the Turkish, Persian and Arabic
tongues, annals which clearly prove
that ali the sultans of the Ottoman
dynasty were prodigies of genius and
sancitity marvellous fairy tales and
stories of adventure, which are more
or less fantastic and the sole object of
which is to prove that no one should
be considered honest, Intelligent or
happy unless he. Is Turkish Mussul-
man: unless hs. venerates the sultan !;
unless he lives in STEAMBOAT all his life
without ever quitting it even for a
day. and unless he regards as utterly
fabulous all that he hears about
Europe. :,
A Mussulrnan is forbidden to sell
a COPY of the Koran, and therefore, a
! foreigner who desires to purchase the
! sacred book must proceed as follows :
| Go into the bookstore. having on your
face as pious an expression as posi-
BILE, and say to the proprietor ~

ed to you if you will present me with

proprietor will answer, ST think it my
duty to assist any unbeliever who de-
sires to instruct himself in our law.
Moreover, you seem to be serious
man, and I am convinced that it is
not vain curiosity which prompts you
to obtain copy Of the Koran. but
sincere desire to study our religion.
Therefore, l am willing to make you
present of this copy, though value
it highly, for l paid q good price fol

equipment is well bred and perfectly
trained. He ia named Canute, and is
great favorite of his master. He has
taken part in many parades and street
pageants III Santa Barbara, Los An
