An Extensive traveller Notes Great
Similarity in Landscapes.
Alter passing for days through the
stern landscapes Of the western
plains and the alkali deserts of Ne
yada, our train crossed the Sierras
and began to descend more genial
western slopes. From endless forests
of pine we wound down through his
toric mining c%amps-Gold Run,
Dutch Flat and Auburn-down to
where cottages nestle mid young
orange orchards. Then an occasional
palm tree appeared and then files Of
pale olives, and within but a few
hours we were running through fer
tile fields, dotted with stately oaks
and laurels under whose shade herds
of cattle browsed. And in mid-No-
yemberhow green and fresh the grass!
AT each turning Of the road, writes
E. G. Peixotto, in Sunset Magazine,
the eye plunged far out and down to
where the boundless expanse of the
Sacramento valley stretched hazy,
indistinct and infinite off to the
vague horizon.
Two years before, almost to a day,
j had sped down the southern slopes
Of steep Alpine grades from the
SHOWS Of Mount Gents and mountains
elothed in chestnut forests, down to
There orchards joined to vineyards
and towns perched upon hilltops OF
snuggled in recesses of the hills. And
out beyond the limitless reaches Of
the plains of Lombardy-that wave
less sea"-stretehing to the ends Of
the earth.
Who could help noting the like.

could be so blind as not to feel the in.

On Canvas.

A Partisan artistis said to have dis
covered a method by which he canre-
produce any subject by photography
on painters canvas, reducing to the
minimum the difficult art o fpainting
reproductions. No one has been able
to do it hitherto, because the canvas is
coated with white lead and fatty sub
stances. By using a photograph ofthe
picture on canvas the necessity of
spending weeks, perhaps months, in
work on the original outline is obviat-
ed, as the shading is faithfully repro
duced by the Gamers at the same time
as the outline, and only the cOlOra
have to be filed in.

"Men who knock around the world
q great deal, who travel, and who see
things, and have all kinds of expert
ences are not as shrewd as they think
they are" said the observant man, to
a New Orleans Times-D Democrat
writer, 'and as a matter Of fact they
are generally further from the truth
in their estimate Of themselves than
the fellow whose life has been con-
fined to a much more limited field
and who are classed among the I'M
sophisticated. OF course, we are all
more or less deceived about our
selves, our talents, capabilities, and
50 on, but the one particular nan
who misses the mark further than
the balance Of mankind is Il the fellow
belonging to the particularly wise
class, These reflections are strength
ened and ampifed by a little story I
have in mind, and the man involved
is one of the shrewder kind. Up to a
couple Of weeks ago if you had told
him that a sharper could trap him he
would have laughed you out Of coun-
tenanee. But he wouldn't do it now.
He has been caught since then,
caught badly, and in a thoroughly
clumsy and commonplace fashion.
He prided himself particularly on his
knowledge Of railroad rates, how
to get to and from places, how much
it would cost and all that kind Of
thing. Hewanted to go out to Plaque
mine, and had started to the ticket
Office, when he was approached by a
man who said he could give him a
ticket at a reduced rate. What is
the fare to Plaquemine?' asked the
wise man. Three forty-fve,' said
the ticket vendor, and here is a tick
ct you may have for So even' 1t
was a go. The wise mar congratu-
lated himself on saving As cents. He
bought a return ticket at Plaque
mine, rendering a IS bill in payment.
The agent gave him 1885 in change.
Haven't you made a mistaken asked
the wise man. Nope said the agent,
fares $2.45,' and the man walked
away, rejecting on how easy it is for
a man to lose So cents while trying
to save 45 cents"

ChicagO's Birthrate.

The laments of eminent person
ages over the decreasing birth rate in
in the United States have prompted
Chicago's health department to print
in the bulletin the best possible evil
dence that the birth rate in that city
is satisfactory. 1t says: "The in
crease in the under seven-year popula-
ton was 57,3 per cent, or 5.3 in ex-
cess of the increase Of the total popu-
lation at all ages. This excess is OBJ
viously due to the births during the
period"

QUEER FREAK OF NATURE.
EIna Tree Growing Out of the Trunk of a Huge Poplar Found i'm
 Indiana

7
 A freak of nature has been found by workmen who were cutting timber a short time ago on large tract near Benham, Ind. The tract belongs to Isaac F. King and the freak is the inter growth of two kinds of timber, says a local report.
 A young, thrifty poplar tree, some 15 inches in diameter, has, as viewed from short distance, apparently what is an elm limb of nearly half it's own girth growing from the trunk about eight feet from the ground. A careful examina- tion of the base of the tree reveals elm roots and the body of the elm springs directly from the body of the poplar.
 A slight ridge in the poplar trunk, which winds from the elm roots to the point from which the elm leaves it, shows how much more vigorous its growth has been than that of it's com panion tree and for some feet the pop lar has completely swallowed the elm About 20 feet higher the two seem to have become attached again and in time may form another combine. The poplar has attained height of about 100 feet and the elm is somewhat short CT. Just how 1t is possible for the elm tree to thrive, in spite of the fact that it has been encased by the poplar for many years, is not clear.

How to Make Coffee Cake.


 The delicious kaffee kuchen of Ger man origin and served here as coffee cake or cinnamon buns may be made at home still better. The following direc- tions are taken from What to Eat: Use a quart of four, pint of milk and one half cake of compressed yeast set in a sponge at night. In the morning add to this two eggs we'll beaten, one-half cup of butter, one-fourth cup of sugar and another half pint of -four. These Ingredients must be well stirred togeth- CT before adding them to the sponge. Knead the mixture for fifteen minutes, put in shallow buttered pans and let 1t risey then brush over the surface of the dough with egg mixed with little milk and then sprinkle thickly with cin- namon and powdered sugar. Bake in a slow oven half an hour or longer if not sufficiently Drowned.

MANY BOOKS FOR THE BLIND.
The United States Is Doing Much to Provide the sightless with
 Helpful Literature.

'I went into the free library the oth- CT day." said the Observant Citizen, in the Philadelphia Press, land wandered into the department for the blind. I was amazed to find the number of works it contained, and some investiga- tion gave me lot of very interesting information.
 T find that there are about 100000 blind persons in the United States and that the printing of books for them has reached such proportions that a bill was introduced into congress few months ago providing that these works shall go free through the mails.
 More than that, learn that the gov ernment has already made an attempt to help this class by annually giving the interest on $250,000 to the American printing house for the blind at Louis vile, Ky. I have seen statement by MT. Boutell, of Illinois, in which he says that this yearly sum of $10,00O is used for printing these books and dis tr1buting them among thirty-two pub lie and five private schools for the blind. The principals of these schools form committee which decides what works shall be published.
 "A dictionary makes IS volumes and costs $50; Bible Il volumes for ST, and an English grammar sells for s10.
 ''I find also that there are three week. lies and one monthly paper for the blind."

INSTRUCTORS FOR DOGS.
Aristocratic Canines Must Now Have Governesses to Give Them
 Special Lessons.

What next? The dogs who walk in the best tailor-made attire, and whose fam fly trees are usually far more genuine and impressive than those of their own- CTS, now have their own governess. In winter she lives in New York; in sum- mer she follows her charges to a fa- nous and fashionable seaside resort. She is paid by the hour to come to the house of Fido's adoring mistress and broaden Fido's mental horizon and de- velop his latent genius. She teaches the dear little fellow to sit up and bark and sneeze and beg for sugar plums; to turn somersaults; to shake hands and faint, and otherwise prove his claim to an 1n- tellect of no mean order.
 Furthermore, the governess takes Fido walking every day. His mistress is often too busy or too tired to accom- pany him during his hours of exercise. She does not trust her servants with the duty of serving as his escort, so the governess is paid to accompany the little dear during his walks abroad. Her business is to keep him amused and guard him from low company.
 Last winter the governess uttered more than 30 dogs. At certain hour every morning she takes ten or 12 pro- teges out on their leashes. She keeps the peace among them, sees that they have good scamper and roll on clean grass, teaches them to swim, fetch and carry, and guards against their con- tact with CUTS that might infect them with mango, distemper or rabies.
